Chapter 43
Chapter 43 Hunter was the head of a financial conglomerate.
When he received a call from Leonard, he was in a coffee shop in Heron Shore Town, 300 thousand feet away from Newden City, discussing a business deal worth two billion dollars with Rudolf Olsen, the young master of the Olsen family.
Several burly bodyguards dressed in black stood guard outside, vigilant and alert.
Professional servers wearing dress controlled the temperature of the coffee carefully.
After hanging up the phone, Hunter became serious instantly.
He told the beautiful female secretary who was standing not far behind him, "Arrange for a few helicopters immediately. I need to go to Newden City." "What?"
The secretary's face was full of disbelief.
After all, they had only discussed half of a deal worth two billion dollars.
Many noble families had tried to get a piece of the pie, but Hunter's strength was what ultimately convinced Rudolf to choose him.
How come Hunter was suddenly abandoning Rudolf and heading to Newden City? What on earth happened?
Unless it was a matter of great importance, Hunter would not be so urgent.
"Mr. Olsen, it seems that we can only talk about the business at another time. I have some things to go to Newden City. I'm really sorry." Hunter said.
Rudolf was holding a coffee cup in his hand, with a slight displeasure on his face.
"Mr. Lucas, do you know how many people are trying to get in on this deal? Are you really going to leave me here?"
Hunter glanced at the dissatisfied Rudolf and sneered.
Indeed, the Olsen family was a top-tier family, no less impressive than the Lucas family. However, Rudolf was merely a scion of the third branch of the Olsen family who happened to be in charge of this deal. He was flattered by Hunter's compliments earlier and thought highly of himself.
"I'm going to meet an important person this time, so I hope Mr. Olsen can understand me."
After Hunter finished speaking, he strode outside.
"What if I don't understand?"
Rudolf suddenly asked loudly.
"If you don't understand, then get lost. If you keep talking, I'll give you a slap!"
Hunter suddenly looked fierce.
The coffee cup in Rudolf's hand fell to the ground with a sound of a clack.
In an instant, he was intimidated by Hunter's aura and didn't dare to say a word.
The secretary followed behind Hunter tremblingly and made a phone call to arrange everything.
Walking out of the coffee shop, the secretary couldn't help asking, "Mr. Lucas, everything has been arranged, but do you really want to go in person?"
Hunter looked up at the sky and heaved a sigh of relief.
"I've been waiting for this call for a long time."
He said, with a hint of nostalgia and excitement in his voice. Blueville City was the secret training base of the Eagles Corps.
The Eagles Corps had a**embled countless top king of soldiers.
It held a very special position on the central battlefield.
And Ernest, nicknamed Eagle, was the commander of the Eagles Corps. He had carried out many extremely dangerous missions and achieved great success, making him a critical a**et to the country.
If it hadn't been for the incident where he had killed prisoners of war, he would have been promoted to a two-star general by now.
At this moment in the base, all the soldiers were sweating profusely in training.
The door to the command center suddenly opened, and Eagle walked out with a serious expression.
"The Governor of Newden City is quite courageous. He even dared to detain my boss. This is an act of defiance against me." Eagle slapped his hand, and everyone stopped their training and gathered in front of him.
Eagle gazed upon the fifty or so men standing before him, all of whom had risked their lives alongside him and were the soldiers he had trained and led to become the king of soldiers.
"I heard that you guys have wanted to meet the legendary master I've been talking about. Now I'll take you to Newden City. to meet him. How about that?" Eagle asked. "Got it!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
Each one of them was thrilled beyond words.
Eagle waved his hand, and they immediately got into nearby off-road vehicles and headed toward Newden City.
In the boss' office at Boundless Group headquarters in Adolph Prefecture, Michael picked up the phone and gave a crisp order. "Summon the managers of the Dragon, Tiger, and Leopard Department to see me."
Soon, three fierce and ferocious men stepped into the office.
One had a bald head with a dragon tattoo on his neck.
One had a buzz cut with a tiger tattoo on his arm.
One was skinny with a leopard tattoo on his arm.
The three men walked in and stood before Michael, full of spirit and energy.
"Mr. Davis."
"Assemble men from the three departments immediately, and follow me to Newden City.
"We must perform well this time. The fact that he called me means that he values me. We must do a great job." After that, Michael continued, "Mobilize all our forces and relationships in Newden City. After today, our forces will definitely be able to make great progress."
Michael said loudly.
"Mr. Davis, we'll not let you down."
The three men replied in unison.
After Leonard made three phone calls, countless forces were shaken.
Located in the deep mountains of Garland, near the northern border of Griffinland, this area was characterized by primitive forests and remote valleys that were seldom visited by people. Almost no one lived here.
In the depths of the mountain, there was a valley called Dragon Valley.
There was actually a manor built in Dragon Valley, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery.
However, it wasn't something that an ordinary person could create with such a huge amount of money in such a remote place.
At this moment, an old man was sitting on a large rock in the valley.
He had white hair, but his face didn't have any wrinkles.
He wore a white training suit, and the wind blew gently, making his clothes flutter like an old fairy.
Behind him, standing 300 feet away, was a row of burly men dressed in black, each standing tall and straight like a pine tree.
"Ring ring!"
The phone suddenly rang.
On the other end of the line, Rex reported, "Mr. Clarkson, Mr. Santos has been captured by the Governor of Newden City. My investigation revealed that the Acosta family in Imperial City is behind this..." After hanging up the phone, the old man's face turned gloomy.
Leonard didn't call Rex for help this time, and he knew what Leonard was thinking.
Originally, Leonard was capable enough to handle this matter.
But as an elder, how could he sit back and watch his disciple suffer?
"Even the insignificant Acosta family dares to mess with my disciple." He mumbled to himself.
Thinking about it, he directly dialed a number and said in a cold voice, "Activate the SSS-Cla** Level War Dragon Order and deal with the Acosta family."
The car was driven all the way to the Governor's Mansion.
Leonard put his hands in handcuffs, leaned on the chair, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and didn't say a word all the way.
The phone call had been made, and Eagle and others should have already sprang into action.
Eagle, Michael, and Hunter were all near Newden City, and Leonard believed they would arrive soon. All he had to do was wait patiently for the results. Originally, Leonard didn't care about the Governor's Mansion, but because of its official status, Leonard was hesitant to take any rash actions.
If there was a better solution, why resort to brute force?
After thirty minutes, the car finally stopped in front of a huge mansion.
This was the Governor's Mansion of Newden City, which was also nicknamed the Little Palace.
The men in black from the Sky Corps took Leonard out of the car.
They came to an empty yard. Armed members of the Sky Corps were standing guard around the yard.
In the center of the courtyard was a chair, and a middle-aged man with white hair was sitting on it.
He was wearing a suit and holding a string of beads, calmly looking at Leonard.
"It was you who injured Larson, the housekeeper of the Acosta family?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Leonard immediately knew why he had been arrested.
It turned out the Acosta family was causing trouble behind the scenes.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
The Acosta family was a noble family in Imperial City with terrifying power, and it was not surprising that they were able to command the services of the Governor of Newden City. "Larson used his position as the Acosta family's steward to oppress me. He struck first, and I simply fought back. Mr. Evans, please distinguish right from wrong." Leonard said.
Parker Evans, the Governor of Newden City, snorted softly.
"The Acosta family's steward was seriously injured, and Wilder, the young master of the Cruz family, had his future destroyed by you. How did you dare to plead innocent? "A murderer like you should be sentenced to death."
As he spoke, a black-clad man walked in.
"Mr. Evans, Waylon Lambert, the president of the Newden Chamber of Commerce, is asking to see you."
"This is calling for reinforcements."
Parker sneered.
"Let him in."
As it turned out, after Leonard was taken away from the airport, Waylon didn't even go home. He immediately followed and arrived at the Governor's Mansion.
He still had some influence in Newden City, hoping to rescue Leonard.
When Waylon walked in, he saw the members of Sky Corps who were under martial law.
His heart skipped a beat when Waylon saw the guns in their hands,
It was said that the Governor's Mansion had an execution ground where some vicious criminals were put to death by direct execution. Could this be where they were headed? Waylon walked over quickly.
"Mr. Evans, Mr. Santos is my friend. What has he done to be arrested?"
"He injured Larson, the steward of the Acosta family," Parker said.
Waylon knew what was going on in an instant, and at the same time, his heart skipped a beat.
If it was any other matter, it would be easy to handle, but offending the Acosta family from the Imperial City would be difficult.
After a few seconds of silence, Waylon said, "Even if someone is injured, it should be dealt with by the Bureau of Police. Does Mr. Evans plan on using private execution?" "What's wrong with that? Offending my family deserves death."
Just then, a young man in a suit walked in.
He had a large hairstyle and was dressed in designer clothes, with a hint of arrogance on his face and a cold glint in his eyes.
"Mr. Acosta, why did you come out?"
After seeing him, Parker, the Governor of Newden City, couldn't help asking.
"I came to see who has the audacity to touch even one of my family members. It seems they don't know the meaning of death." Waylon suddenly felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of the young man, as if being stared at by a poisonous snake.
He had just experienced this feeling, the same feeling he felt when facing Jarod on the southern border.
Waylon took a deep breath and asked, "May I know who you are, sir?"
"Marsh Acosta, a member of the Acosta family in Imperial City"
"Ah, so he is the true bloodline of the Acosta family."
Waylon inwardly cursed. He hadn't expected a member of the main branch of the Acosta family to show up.
"I am merely a messenger for my cousin," Marsh said in a serene tone.
"You are being too modest. As the cousin of the head of the Acosta family, you are a person of great importance. I believe there must be some misunderstanding between Leonard and the Acosta family. Why don't we all sit down together and have a good talk to clear up any misunderstandings?
"I have already promised to take responsibility for whatever compensation the Acosta family may require on behalf of Leonard. How does that sound?"
Waylon smiled apologetically.
Marsh, however, only sneered.
"Mr. Lambert, do you think my family is short of money?"
After finishing speaking, he stared at Leonard with a gloomy look.
"You little sc um. How dare you lay a hand on the Acosta family's steward! Do you know what kind of trouble you've gotten yourself into?"
Leonard scoffed. "Who do you think you are? You think you're so important?"
Next to him, Waylon frowned.
He didn't understand why Leonard was saying such things at this time.
Although Leonard was powerful, he should know better than to offend the Acosta family.
Marsh's face twisted with anger as he turned to Parker. "Mr. Evans, please execute this man on the spot."
Parker nodded, and with a light wave of his hand, a group of Sky Corps members immediately rushed up.
The leading man in black put the gun in his hand on the bolt and put it on Leonard's head. Suddenly, the sound of helicopter blades could be heard outside the building.
