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
Tanner angrily pushed the car door open and stormed up to Koi Hadachi, lifting him by his collar. "Old man, are you looking to die?"Chad, however, was drenched in cold sweat, his back soaked. He was not afraid of enemies stronger than him or threats to his loved ones.However, facing an enemy like Koi, who could never truly be killed, terrified him. Chad had witnessed Koi being struck by lightning and reduced to ashes at Mount Gentleman, so he could not understand how Koi was still alive.As he snapped back to his senses, Chad quickly warned Tanner, "Come back, it's dangerous!"Confident in Mystic Bureau Nine training, Tanner dismissed the warning. "Dangerous? This old man? What's the danger?"Just as he finished speaking, Tanner stumbled a few steps backward, staring in horror at his chest.Koi cackled and said, "Just like this—if you press from both sides, the stuff inside won't fall out."Chad could not see what had happened, but he saw Tanner's shirt split down the middle,
Koi was taken aback, not understanding why Chad would self-harm, but he still took two steps back.Chad, however, smiled and said, "Corpse Tailors focus on controlling corpses. They can't show their true body, so this isn't your true body!"Koi panicked, clearly indicating that Chad had guessed correctly. "And to control a corpse, your true body can't be too far away, so it must be nearby!"Chad formed a hand seal and placed his sword fingers on the wound on his forehead. "Clairvoyant Eye, activate!"As Chad spoke, his forehead bulged, and a vertical eye appeared. The eye had three differently colored pupils, and as soon as it appeared, the surrounding fog dissipated instantly. A primordial beast-like aura emanated from Chad, making everyone present shiver in fear.A sharp cat's cry echoed from a distance near the car. When Chad heard it, his face lit up with a smug smile, and Koi began to tremble.Unexpectedly, Koi said, "Alright, I'll withdraw this time!"Chad was not about to
"Where are they, and who are you?" Chad started to ask, but the call was abruptly cut off.He then noticed two messages from Matilda. One was a location pin, and the other was a photo of Matilda and Naomi lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious.Chad quickly made a decision. He set the navigation and started the car, deciding to head to the location Matilda had sent. He reasoned that Campbell Alley, an important government area, would be heavily guarded by then.The attackers would not stay there, so Matilda and Naomi must have been moved. Chad had to check whether the location was a trap or not.The car roared to life and sped away. Tanner, leaning against the tree, pulled out his phone and made a call. "Director, something's happened. You need to check Zayan's place immediately!"Meanwhile, Campbell Alley was in chaos, with bodies strewn across the ground. A square-faced man burst into Zayan's courtyard, searching inside and out but finding no one. He angrily picked up his ph
In less than two minutes, Chad had taken down everyone and was standing in front of a horrified Tiffany. She quickly regained her composure, stubbornly raising her head. "Go ahead and kill me if you dare, but don't expect me to release them.""Fine, I'll oblige," Chad said, raising his hand to strike Tiffany's head."Dr. Jennings, you can't kill her!" Sutton shouted. "She has cursed them. Only she can lift it!"Chad's hand stopped just above Tiffany's head. He glanced at the unconscious Matilda and Naomi. "The Hibernation spell. This isn't poison; it's witchcraft."As soon as Chad finished speaking, he smelled a strange fragrance. A wave of irresistible drowsiness overcame him, making him feel sleepy.Tiffany smirked triumphantly. "That's right, this is the Hibernation spell. Those affected by it will sleep like snakes in hibernation. Sleep now!"Thud!Chad tried to resist but succumbed to the spell's influence and fell asleep.Tiffany walked over and kicked Chad a couple of ti
As night fell, Amity Gate was bustling with traffic as ambassadors from various countries gathered there. Inside the Whitestone Hall within Amity Gate, the entire Hacniane cabinet was present.Ambassadors from all over the world were also present. Saffronesia had finally provoked the world's strongest powers.An hour earlier, Saffronesia had shaken the world leaders by issuing a second announcement declaring they would broadcast their delegation's visit to the celestial realm.The announcement also revealed that the Saffronesia delegation had already reached the celestial realm and had sent back some videos. As a result, leaders from all countries received three video clips from the celestial realm.The Whitestone Hall was filled with constant arguments, with most people questioning the Battle of the Sky."We've been fighting for 50 years, all countries involved, with many lives lost, but there's no hope of victory in sight. If diplomacy is an option, we should consider it.""If
