After Calandra and Eilir went upstairs, Gillespie furrowed his brows, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes, "Nereus, Indivar, what do you think about the Storm family being wiped out?"
Nereus adjusted his glasses and said slowly, "All the news has been blocked, we can't find out who wiped out the Storm family."
"However, to be able to wipe out the Storm family in an instant without making a sound, I'm afraid even the big families in Shorysford City can't do it."
Indivar's brow furrowed, "Second brother, among the three of us brothers, you're the most clever. Who do you think the Storm family offended?"
Nereus thought for a moment and nodded, "I'm afraid it's the big shot who suddenly arrived in Yeoannes City."
"Let's not talk about this," Nereus looked at his third brother and said seriously, "Indivar, Eilir said the person who took her child was a Taoist, how are you going to find him?"
As Indivar stood up, he said, "The Carlyle family has a follower named Greengoat Taoist, who is a Peak Earth Rank expert. I've had dealings with him before, I'll go ask him for help."
Gillespie nodded, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes, "This matter should be handled sooner rather than later, I'm always a bit uneasy."
Indivar didn't say anything more, he nodded and quickly left.
An hour later, Indivar arrived at the Carlyle family and successfully met Greengoat Taoist who was meditating in the backyard.
Greengoat Taoist was skinny, with a three-inch long goatee, his white hair tied into a bun, and a green Taoist robe, which made him look quite like a Taoist immortal.
Seeing Indivar walk into the yard, Greengoat Taoist smiled and saluted, "Brother Indivar, what brings you here today?"
Indivar also returned the salute and got straight to the point, "Today, I'm here to ask for your help, Greengoat Taoist."
"A few days ago, a Taoist went to Yeoannes City and took away a child of my younger generation."
"So, I came specifically to ask if you know of any Taoists who have recently been to Yeoannes City."
A hint of curiosity flashed in Greengoat Taoist's eyes, and he asked with a smile, "Whose child is it that warrants Brother Indivar's personal search?"
Indivar waved his hand, "That's not important, just tell me if you know or not, Greengoat Taoist."
Greengoat Taoist chuckled and shook his head, "I spend all my days here in the Carlyle household, I know nothing of the outside world. I suggest you, brother Indivar, go and ask others."
Indivar nodded and turned to leave with long strides.
Watching his retreating figure, a cold glint flashed in Greengoat Taoist's eyes. "He possesses the strength of the Peak Earth Rank but acts like a fool, even trying to probe me!"
The patriarch of the Carlyle family walked over at this time, squinting his eyes and asked, "What's the background of the girl you brought back? Why is even the Jernigan family looking for her?"
Greengoat Taoist shook his head, "I just happened to run into her. Who knows whose child she is."
"Anyway, she's already been sent back to the sect. They won't be able to find her."
What they didn't know was that Indivar, whom they deemed a 'martial idiot,' was hiding in a corner, listening to their conversation clearly.
The Jernigan family.
After hearing Indivar's narration, Nereus frowned heavily, "This is too coincidental. It turns out that Greengoat Taoist took away Eilir's child."
"What could be the connection between these two?"
Gillespie shook his head, "Let's not tell Eilir about this for now. If she rashly rushes to the Carlyle family to demand the person, I'm afraid she won't even be able to save her life."
On the rooftop.
The twins exchanged a glance and immediately sent the news to Atius.
Almost at the same moment, at the base of the Shorysford City Safety Bureau, someone shouted, "They're moving, all of them are moving!"
"All members of the Dragon King Hall are headed towards Wimston Province. They're moving fast!"
All the higher-ups of the Safety Bureau rushed to the conference room at the first opportunity.
Looking at the moving trajectories on the satellite map, they all became nervous.
"This... this is an encirclement! Notify the person in charge of the Wimston Province Safety Bureau and have him rush over immediately!"
......
"Boom!!"
"Boom, boom!!"
A thunderclap resounded in the clear sky, and the midday sun was suddenly swallowed by dark clouds. The entire city was filled with lightning and thunder.
The wind was so strong that people couldn't open their eyes. Many people looked up at the sky, not understanding what was happening.
The Jernigan family.
A message suddenly came on Gillespie's phone. After a quick glance, he frowned.
"The Safety Bureau has issued a notice. There will be a thunderstorm in the west district due to extreme weather changes. No one is allowed to enter."
As soon as his words fell, the three brothers of the Jernigan family turned their heads simultaneously, looking westward. They saw several figures flying past at high speed.
"Heaven Rank experts!"
Gillespie's pupils contracted, "At least a dozen Heaven Rank experts!"
Boom!!!
Lightning struck down, and the entire city trembled!
"Big brother, second brother, look there!" Indivar pointed to the sky. A military helicopter was flying through the storm, heading straight for the west district!
On the second floor.
Calandra and Eilir stood by the window, their faces filled with shock as they watched this scene.
"With such a grand display, who exactly has come to the province?"
At the same time, all the martial artists in the province were rushing towards the west district. According to statistics from several directions, at least thirty Heaven Rank experts had appeared.
Almost all the martial artists wanted to witness the demeanor of a Heaven Rank expert with their own eyes!
But when they reached the vicinity of the west district, they found that all the entrances and exits had been blocked by the Safety Bureau, no one was allowed to enter!
The three brothers of the Jernigan family were also in the crowd.
Nereus was deep in thought, his eyebrows furrowed.
Suddenly, he looked up, his gaze piercing through the lightning and dark clouds, landing on a man-made mountain two kilometers away!
That was the territory of the Carlyle family!
These Heaven Rank experts were heading for the Carlyle family!
Thinking of the news that his third brother, Indivar, had investigated, that Eilir's daughter had been taken away by the Carlyle family's Greengoat Taoist, a crazy guess surged in Nereus's heart.
These Heaven Rank experts were rushing to the Carlyle family to find Eilir's daughter!
And Eilir seemed to be unaware of all this.
Nereus took a deep breath, suddenly looked at Gillespie and Indivar, "Big brother, third brother, our Jernigan family might be in luck."
Gillespie was puzzled, "Nereus, what do you mean by that?"
Nereus didn't explain and disappeared in a flash.
Gillespie and Indivar exchanged a glance and quickly followed.
The three of them sneaked all the way, quickly avoiding the Safety Bureau's line of sight, and kept getting closer to the Carlyle family.
"Boom, boom!"
There was a secret passage in the mountain.
The Carlyle family was evacuating in a hurry.
At the front of the group, Baronicio Carlyle glared angrily at Greengoat Taoist, "My Carlyle family has always kept a low profile over the years and has not offended anyone. They must be after you!"
"What's the background of the girl you captured?!"
Greengoat Taoist's face was gloomy, and he quickened his pace.
He was just a Peak Earth Rank, and Baronicio had just stepped into the Heaven Rank. Against the Heaven Rank experts rushing over, they might die at first contact.
The passage led all the way down to an abandoned courtyard three kilometers away.
Seeing that no one was chasing them, Baronicio finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But in the next instant, a loud explosion sounded.
A flash of fire lit up the passage ahead, and the tunnel wall collapsed instantly. Except for Baronicio, everyone was blown away by the fierce shockwave.
From the outside, a hole with a diameter of more than ten meters appeared on the mountainside.
The people of the Carlyle family were terrified.
Baronicio gritted his teeth and looked at the helicopter hovering in mid-air, shouting, "I don't know when my Carlyle family has offended you! Please explain!"
On the helicopter, Perseus had his hand on a red button, ready to level the mountain at Atius's command!
Only twenty meters away, Baronicio's clothes were rustled by the wind from the helicopter's propellers.
He seemed to recognize Perseus and shouted, "Mr. Granville, even if you are one of the top ten leaders of the National Defense Legion, a Heaven Rank peak expert, you need a reason to take action against my Carlyle family, don't you?!"
At this moment, all the Heaven Rank experts of the War God Palace had gathered around.
Feeling their cold killing intent, many people from the Carlyle family collapsed directly to the ground.
Baronicio was even more desperate to find that the weakest among these people were much stronger than himself!
His status as a Heaven Rank expert seemed so humble at this moment.
The helicopter door was finally pulled open.
Atius stepped out, his body plummeted straight down, and when he landed, he turned into a phantom and stood in front of Baronicio in the blink of an eye.
Baronicio only felt a mountain-like momentum coming at him, and he couldn't help but keep backing away.
He looked up at the man in front of him, who was emitting supreme majesty, and for a moment he dared not speak.
Atius looked at Baronicio expressionlessly and said coldly, "A man named Greengoat Taoist has taken my daughter."
"Is this reason enough to wipe out your Carlyle family?"
