Chapter 512 Agreement
Mr. Fields had arrived unnoticed and was now gently applauding.
"Your apprentice is really something—great at strategy, combat, business, and even medical skills!"
Elbert turned to look.
Beside Mr. Fields were two more figures.
They wore traditional robes, had short hair, and sported high-tech communication devices on their ears.
These two were older, over thirty.
Their presence was unique, a blend of vintage and subtle futuristic vibes, embodying the distinctive Veridiania style.
These must be the elite guards mentioned by the young Miller family disciple.
Elbert glanced at them.
There was no information about them online!
Their equipment didn't use conventional networks!
And they appeared here as if transported through time and space!
Elbert nodded slightly.
The Miller family was not to be underestimated!
Meanwhile, Robert had restored the alley's surveillance cameras.
Elbert clearly saw a container truck parked in the alley, made entirely of anti-radar and anti-thermal imaging materials.
The Miller family disciples had emerged from this truck?
The two older Miller family disciples also noticed the truck and seemed to realize their systems had been breached.
Instinctively, they glanced at Elbert with curiosity.
The young Miller family disciples' gazes toward Elbert had changed, too!
This guy's abilities were incredible!
At that moment, several Black Clothes men quickly surrounded the area. The young Miller family disciples stepped forward, pulling out a pair of special handcuffs, ready to restrain Darius and his two companions.
Elbert nodded slightly, "Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Fields. These three were after me. I'll handle it from here."
One of the older Miller family disciples frowned, "These people tried to assassinate Mr. Fields. Who are you to take them away?"
Mr. Fields waved his hand, "This was unexpected, but thanks to Elbert, we got a glimpse of Veridiania's strength. I can allow you to take them."
Elbert smiled and asked, "Mr. Fields, do you have any conditions?"
Mr. Fields, now completely sober, smiled back, "We're friends, and I've known Gary for decades. No conditions, just granting your wish."
"Then I'll speak for Mr. Fields," Elbert sighed, addressing the older Miller family disciples. "I'm Elbert. I'll visit your family soon. If I lose, my assets will be managed by Mr. Fields."
The Miller family disciples were taken aback but couldn't question further with Mr. Fields present.
Mr. Fields laughed, "Elbert is indeed bold, betting his fortune so casually. May I ask, will it be a technology competition?"
Elbert chuckled, "Whatever Mr. Fields decides."
Just then, Gary impatiently said, "Elbert, take me home."
"Yes, Gary."
Elbert bid farewell to Mr. Fields and supported the staggering Gary back to the free clinic.
As soon as Gary entered, he collapsed onto the couch, muttering, "Damn, I can't believe I lost to Mr. Fields in drinking. Almost revealed my true self!"
"You can't lose to the Miller family in that competition!"
With that, Gary fell asleep.
Outside, the older Miller family disciples couldn't hold back their curiosity. "Sir, who was that young man? What force does he belong to? Can he rival the Miller family? What assets does he have that Mr. Fields would manage?"
Mr. Fields was about to speak when the sky rumbled.
A transport helicopter hovered, and several figures jumped to the ground!
The older Miller family disciple was startled. "This is the highest level of cyborg I've ever seen! Protect Mr. Fields!"
The figures approached slowly.
A burly man and a rotund fellow!
They nodded to everyone present, picked up the unconscious Darius and his companions, and returned to the helicopter, leaving immediately!
The younger Miller family disciple suddenly realized, "Mr. Fields, that's Punisher Gino and Iron Thirty-Three!"
"Punisher?!"
The other Miller family disciples were shocked!
The only organization in the past century that had caught the Miller family's attention!
Mr. Fields pondered slightly. "Martin, go back and tell the Miller family's ninth generation leader that history repeats itself, and we can't avoid the mundane. I need his help to subdue a civilian force!"
The older disciple, Martin Collins, eyes blazing with determination, nodded. "Understood."
Then, Mr. Fields, usually steady, suddenly wobbled. "Leonard, help me out. I can't believe I lost to Gary!"
Meanwhile, Elbert, after settling Gary, returned to Phantom Island.
Before him were three sleeping Yulia Village youths.
Elbert waited patiently.
Once they woke up, he'd explain everything. Since Yulia Village no longer existed, he didn't mind taking them in.
Lab Graveyard.
Steel Paul Seven stood motionless after returning.
Dennis, holding a screwdriver, hesitated, wanting to dismantle the robot but fearing trouble with Violent Bear.
Finally, Dennis sat on the couch, tossing the screwdriver aside, sighing in frustration.
Ring, ring.
Dennis's kids' phone rang!
"Hello, Dennis!"
"Conrad!"
"Dennis, is your pet ready? Tomorrow is the Cute Pet Charity Day!"
Dennis was puzzled. "What? Wasn't it yesterday? I took leave to avoid it!"
"Haha!"
Conrad boasted, "I had my dad pull some strings to postpone the event. Many pets are still being air-shipped!"
"But don't worry, my dad bought the coolest pet, an alpaca with horns, cute and fierce!"
Dennis sighed. "Conrad, can alpacas grow horns?"
"Haha! It's a mutant, cost my dad a million bucks!"
Dennis sighed. "Hold on, Conrad!"
Dennis hung up!
He approached Steel Paul Seven, climbed a stool, and peered into the robot's eyes, confirming it wasn't powered.
Then, to be sure, he poured a cup of cola on Steel Paul Seven's feet!
"Oh dear, I spilled it. Let me clean it up!"
After pretending for a while, confirming Steel Paul Seven wasn't remotely controlled, Dennis grabbed the phone and went to the bathroom, whispering, "Conrad, get your dad to bring a large container truck tomorrow morning!"
Conrad was confused. "Dennis, what do you need that for?"
Dennis smiled. "Stick with me, and you'll shine!"
