Spencer Sachs, a Cabinet dignitary and a God of War, was 65 years old and had only one arm."Where's my granddaughter?""You fool! Just look around and see who looks like your granddaughter!"Zayan walked into the courtyard, loudly calling out but with a satisfied smile on his face.Spencer quickly fixed his gaze on Matilda, trembling with excitement."She looks just like her!""Enough about that. What about your son, Logan? He's going to the firmament. What do you plan to do?"Zayan stepped in front of Matilda, standing face-to-face with Spencer.Spencer scratched his head. "That kid has been rebellious since childhood. I can't stop him. Besides, I'm going up there after the memorial service myself…"Spencer ended with a proud grin.The courtyard fell silent.After a long pause, Zayan asked in shock, "Is it really that severe?"Spencer glanced at the sky. "It's worse than expected. It all depends on the situation in the coming days."Zayan immediately sensed the gravity o
Just then, a special agent burst in, whispered something in Zayan's ear, and left.Zayan glanced at Matilda and Chad. "It seems we won't be having this meal after all!"A luxurious car arrived at the entrance of the courtyard. Zayan quickly got into the car and left.Naomi suddenly became cheerful when her father left and excitedly shouted, "Yay! Dad's finally gone!"Then she grabbed Matilda and Chad and said, "Come on! I'll take you around Kennington and treat you to a nice meal!"Matilda, already lacking appetite, reluctantly agreed since Naomi was the elder. However, she did not want to be with Chad. She tugged Naomi's hand and said, "Aunt Naomi, let's go out, but leave this guy behind.""No way!" Naomi said with a mysterious smile. "I promised Dad I'd get you two to reconcile! Let's go to the Owl Tavern for a meal, and then I'll take you to Polden Street in the afternoon."Naomi, with her carefree personality, put one arm around Matilda's waist and the other around Chad's
Before Matilda could say anything, Chad coldly interjected, "Get lost!"Both Matilda and Chad were not in the mood for dining. When Naomi left, they were inclined to go, too!Harvey, caught off guard by the rejection, shot a glare at Chad and cursed, "Damn it! I'm just trying to hit on a beautiful girl. Why are you interfering?"Harvey reached out to slap Chad, but the latter blocked his hand.As he looked at his blocked hand, Harvey arrogantly declared, "I've never missed a beat when it comes to hitting people in Kennington."Chad, however, did not even glance at him. He asked Matilda, "Are we leaving or not?"Matilda was infuriated by Chad's comment. "In a situation like this, do you think we can just leave?"Harvey sneered from the side, "You disrespected me and still wanted to leave? Do you even know who I am?"Chad nonchalantly replied, "I don't care whose bastard you are."No one dared to speak to Harvey like that!"What did you say? Say that again! I'll kill you!" Harv
Chad tidied his clothes, made an inviting gesture, and pulled Matilda along as they headed out. Seeing this, everyone around could not help but shiver.Anyone who needed special agents to escort them must be someone important. Even Harvey, usually arrogant and domineering, realized he might have provoked someone he should not have.As Chad passed by Harvey, he looked at him with a smile and said, "I've often heard Zaiden Cooper mention his two grandsons. Indeed, the reputation doesn't do you justice."Harvey was stunned that Chad knew he was Zaiden Cooper's grandson. When he tried to catch up, he was even more shocked that Chad was picked up by an Aston Martin Victor!It was well-known that only people with extraordinary status could be escorted in such a car. Just as Chad was about to enter the vehicle, Flynn and Naomi returned."Hey, why are you coming out? Aren't you going to eat?" Flynn parked his motorcycle, glanced at the luxurious car, and looked at Chad in surprise.Chad
Joe had visited Kennington several times but had never received such a high-level reception. Although the Coaster was just a small bus, it was nicknamed the leader's vehicle, which was highly prestigious.Ordinary people could not even imagine riding in it, so Joe was excited. At that moment, Joe completely relaxed and decided to follow Camden closely. "Master, where are we going?" he asked.Camden looked out the window and said, "We must be going to Amity Gate."Amity Gate, also known as the Peacemaking Gate, was where the cabinet office was located and symbolized the nation of Hacniane.Hector casually remarked, "It's just the Cabinet. As a Mystic representative, I've been here often."Camden smiled and said, "Same here. I used to represent Celestial Mountains and frequently came to Amity Gate."Hector said, "Fifty years ago, during the Mystic Hexa Pirates incident, that was the first time the Cabinet held a meeting for the Mystic representatives."Camden said, "Yes, it was al
As they were leaving, Tessa privately told Hector, "Don't worry about the Yggdrasil on Temple Road. I'll find a way."After saying goodbye to Tessa, Hector took a car to the hotel.Meanwhile, the video conference was still ongoing in Chad's hotel room. Sir Holt, Zayan, and a dozen dignitaries were among those in the meeting.Sir Holt said, "We have just received a message from the firmament. An assassination squad, overturned by the Celestial Realm, has infiltrated Kennington. Their targets are all cabinet members and their families."It has been confirmed that three ministers and their families were killed yesterday. Security has been upgraded. Kennington is now under complete lockdown."Special agents, intelligence agents, and the Mystic Nine Bureau are conducting a thorough investigation. We aim to capture all members of the assassination squad before tomorrow's memorial service."Zayan continued from where Sir Holt left off. "The latest information indicates that this assassi
Chad had no patience to wait and pushed Tanner aside, storming out of the room. He had promised Micah to protect Nancy, and he intended to keep that promise.Tanner watched Chad's retreating figure with a half-smile and picked up the giant calculator under his arm, following him. "Oh boy, I need to ask the director for a raise after this job!"Meanwhile, Chad had reached Nancy's room upstairs.Inside, Nancy was unconscious on the floor, holding a little white fox, while a shadowy figure stood over her, raising a katana for a fatal strike.Chad did not hesitate; he used Immortal Unity, transforming one of his arms into a dragon claw, piercing the assassin's chest. The shadowy figure turned his head in horror to look at Chad. "Damn it! You!"Before he could finish, Chad crushed his heart, then picked up Nancy, ready to return to his room. As Chad exited Nancy's room, Tanner arrived leisurely.Tanner was somewhat surprised to see Chad unscathed. "I didn't expect you to scare off the
Chad felt a pang of sympathy for Nancy.Nevertheless, he said, "You shouldn't have come. Kennington is too dangerous right now. From now on, stay with me, and don't go anywhere."Nancy nodded. "Okay, I'll listen to you, Chad."She suddenly seemed to remember something and grabbed Chad's hand. "Oh, Matilda is here too. Will she be in danger as well?""She won't be in danger," Tanner said. "Matilda is Zayan's granddaughter, and our director is protecting her."Nancy glanced at Tanner, and the little white fox on her lap started making a fuss. She seemed to understand the fox's message and looked at Tanner with distrust.That made Tanner uncomfortable—the worst thing for a Mystic Bureau Nine agent and bodyguard was losing the trust of those they were protecting.At that moment, Tanner suddenly covered his ear with an earpiece, the loud voice audible even to Chad and Nancy."Campbell Alley is under attack, requesting immediate support! Campbell Alley... requesting support..."Tann
