Chapter 428 Black Dragon Army Surrounds the Powell Family
After learning that Alistair had been taken back to the Powell family and finding out their address, Larry led the Black Dragon Army to the Powell estate to capture him.
He had one goal: to capture Alistair, use the Execution Sword, and execute him. Only after killing him would he reveal the evidence and initiate a public trial.
Aurora Citadel, outskirts.
There was an old manor here, built with high-quality stone and surrounded by a twelve-foot-high wall.
Inside the manor, in a side hall.
Logan Powell, the elder of the Powell family, sat in a red chair, holding a pipe. He took a deep puff, the pipe ignited, and he exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.
Alistair sat nearby, silent like a child who had done something wrong.
Logan slammed his hand on the table.
"You disgraceful fool," Logan cursed angrily, "Look at what you've done over the years, bringing shame to the Powell family."
Alistair didn't dare say a word or defend himself.
"As a member of the Powell family, you helped outsiders. What will people say about the Powell family?"
"I had no choice," Alistair finally spoke, tears welling up in his eyes. "My father is a bastard, with no status in the family. I'm also a bastard, with no status. People laugh at me, and I can't hold my head up outside. If I don't rely on others, should I rely on the family?"
"Still talking back?"
Alistair immediately shut his mouth, stood up, and knelt on the ground, crying, "I know I was wrong. From now on, I'll stay in the family and never get involved in outside matters."
"Go reflect on your actions."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Alistair stood up, turned, and left. But as he turned, his face showed a hint of gloom. He had struggled to climb up in the family, and he couldn't just give up now. Since he was back in the family, they would surely protect him. As long as he stayed in the family, he could eventually steal the family treasure map.
Outside the manor.
Larry arrived with a thousand Black Dragon Army soldiers. He looked at the brightly lit manor and said softly, "This should be the place."
Then he gave the order, "Surround it, and don't let the suspect escape."
The Black Dragon Army quickly spread out, surrounding the manor.
Inside the manor.
Logan sat in his chair, smoking his pipe. A woman walked in and said, "Elder, there's an army outside, surrounding the manor."
Logan raised his eyelids and asked, "Is it Larry leading the Black Dragon Army?"
"Yes."
"Understood, you may go."
Logan waved his hand, then took out his phone and dialed a number. "Your Bennett family member has brought soldiers to surround my Powell family. Since he's from the Bennett family, I'm giving you a heads-up. If you want to keep him, come quickly. If not, I'll handle it."
Logan hung up the phone, stood up, and walked towards the door with his cane.
At the entrance, Powell family guards were confronting Larry.
Larry looked at the guards blocking his way and said sternly, "Black Dragon Army is enforcing the law. Leave immediately, or you'll be charged with obstructing justice."
"Larry, stop pretending here. This is the Powell family. Leave with your men, or else..."
"Or else what?" Larry asked coldly.
"Or else this will be your burial ground."
A voice came from behind the guards.
The Powell family guards immediately bowed their heads and respectfully called out, "Sir."
Logan approached with four identical-looking women, appearing before Larry. He glanced at Larry and said, "Leave. Aurora Citadel is complicated. You'd better not get involved, or you won't leave unscathed."
Larry remained unmoved, not intimidated by the threat.
"I'm here to capture someone."
"On whose orders?" Logan asked coldly.
Larry knew the Four Ancient Families held great power, but he didn't back down. He raised the Execution Sword and said loudly, "On the orders of the people of Summer Nation. Wystan committed numerous crimes while in office and deserves to be executed. I respect you as an elder, but don't obstruct me, or else..."
"Or else what?"
Larry gave the order, "Anyone who obstructs, arrest them."
"You dare?" Logan's face darkened.
The four identical women stepped forward, blocking Larry, all with cold expressions.
Larry asked coldly, "Are you really going to stop me?"
"Take him down," Logan ordered.
"Arrest them all," Larry stepped back slightly.
The Black Dragon Army stepped forward, raising their guns at the four women.
However, the women leaped forward, appearing before the Black Dragon Army. Dozens of soldiers fell to the ground, crying out in pain.
They moved too fast, faster than Larry could react.
The four women returned to their original positions.
Larry stared at them coldly. They were skilled, very skilled. But even knowing the Powell family had experts, he wouldn't back down.
He drew the Execution Sword.
"The Summer Nation Execution Sword is here. Anyone who obstructs me will be killed without mercy."
One of the women said calmly, "Larry, Summer Nation's laws only apply to ordinary people. This is the Powell family, not subject to those laws."
"If you're a Summer Nation citizen, you're subject to its laws," Larry said, stepping forward with the Execution Sword.
"Kill him," Logan said calmly, then turned to leave.
A Bennett family criminal was nothing to him. Killing Larry wouldn't bring any consequences for the Powell family.
"Such arrogance."
At that moment, a cold voice came.
Larry looked towards the voice.
A woman in a black dress and black mask approached. She had a tall, slender figure and long blonde hair. Behind her were four men in black robes and masks.
Logan stopped, turned to the woman, and frowned, asking, "Who are you?"
"Cabinet Room," the woman said coldly.
She stepped back slightly, and the four men behind her moved forward, leaping towards the four women at the door.
The women stood up, and the eight clashed in mid-air.
The woman fell back, collapsing to the ground, coughing up blood.
The four men stood steadily behind the woman in the black dress.
Larry frowned, puzzled, "Who are these people?"
Logan's face darkened as, looked at the woman outside the Powell family manor. He didn't recognize her, nor did he know what the Cabinet Room was.
"Who are you? Do you know who you're opposing?"
The woman didn't respond.
Larry didn't know who was helping him, but he knew it was an opportunity. He gave the order, "Go in and search."
"Who dares?" Logan shouted, slamming his cane.
The hard stone ground cracked instantly.
A powerful aura erupted from him, stirring up fallen leaves.
The four men in black robes charged forward again.
Logan leaped to meet their attack.
