In the distance, a black car was speeding over, but it only dared to stop a hundred meters away.
A square-faced middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes got out of the car.
Seeing him arrive, Henio and others hurriedly ran over, stuttering, "Chief, who are those people in the Yates Residence?"
"Why are there so many masters appearing in our Yeoannes City?"
Ovidio Clement's eyes widened, "Don't ask what you shouldn't! Just stand here honestly!"
After yelling this sentence, Ovidio ran towards the manor.
Suddenly, a sound of propeller turning echoed in the sky.
Ovidio looked back and saw a gray-green armed helicopter diving down at high speed.
In a moment, the helicopter hovered twenty meters above the ground, and a middle-aged man jumped down from mid-air, as fast as lightning.
Ovidio only saw the side face of the middle-aged man, but he was already shocked.
Because he recognized him, the middle-aged man was one of the ten leaders of the Red Dragon Kingdom's National Defense Army, a peak expert of Heaven Rank, Perseus Granville!
Perseus rushed into the manor with an excited face, stood in front of Atius, and pounded his chest with his right fist, choking, "War God Palace, former instructor of the instructor group, Perseus, reporting to the Lord!"
Atius hmm’ed, his face expressionless, "Go back and tell your superiors, I came back this time just to protect my wife and daughter, without any other intentions."
Perseus nodded, bowed and stood aside, looking at Eilir in Atius's arms with a worried look.
"Lord, I have a villa in the suburbs of the city, the environment is very good, suitable for the lady to rest."
Atius nodded, "Since you are here, send Eilir to rest first."
"In addition, last night a man named Benigno tried to take Eilir away."
"Do you know who Benigno is?"
Perseus's face was instantly filled with killing intent.
"Reply to the Lord, Benigno is the young master of the Storm family."
"Since he dares to target the Lord's wife, it's time for the Storm family to be annihilated. I'll take people over right now!"
Atius shook his head and said coldly, "You just need to notify your superiors. If this matter really has something to do with the Storm family, then I will definitely wash the Storm family in blood. Whoever dares to stop me will be killed without mercy!"
"In addition, seal the news, what happened here, not a single word is allowed to leak out!"
After saying this, Atius stomped on the ground, his whole body shot up, and he jumped directly into the hovering armed helicopter.
The helicopter immediately ascended and flew towards the direction of the provincial city.
At the same time, Benigno had returned to the Storm family.
He was lying on the bed, the tightly wrapped bandage on his chest had been soaked with blood.
The patriarch of the Storm family, Ennio Storm, stood by the bed, his triangular eyes filled with killing intent.
Two Western men wearing dark red assault clothes, camouflage pants, and mountain combat boots also stood by, their eyes full of relief.
Black Mamba had sent a total of thirty Earth Rank masters to the Red Dragon Kingdom to look for Atius's daughter. Most of them had been killed by experts of the War God Palace, and now there were only two of them left.
If they had gone to the Yates family to ask for someone last night, they would definitely have met that Heaven Rank expert named Kaladin, and the result could only be a dead end.
Ennio glanced at the two members of Black Mamba and gritted his teeth, "If it wasn't for my son's heart being on the right side, I'm afraid he would have died this time."
"I know that Kaladin, he's a well-known Heaven Rank master in the martial arts world. Although I don't know why he saved Eilir, I guess he will continue to intervene in this matter."
"My father is also a Heaven Rank master, but after all, he is old, so... I would like to ask the two of you to contact the Heaven Rank experts of Black Mamba to come here, so we can ensure that we can take Eilir away."
The two members of Black Mamba looked at each other, but did not speak.
Because from the moment they arrived in Wimston Province, they found that they had lost contact with the organization, and they still couldn't get in touch until now.
They didn't know that Black Mamba had been completely wiped out from this world by War God Palace.
Seeing the two people not speaking, Ennio suddenly became uneasy.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura appeared at the door.
An old man with a hunched figure and an appearance of dying slowly walked into the room.
The aura unique to a Heaven Rank expert immediately made the two members of Black Mamba unable to breathe.
The old man looked at Benigno's injuries and a trace of coldness flashed across his face full of age spots.
He was Ennio's father, the former patriarch of the Storm family, Herschel Storm.
Without any hesitation, Herschel reached out his hands, those bone-like fingers grabbed the two members of Black Mamba.
The two men's faces changed drastically.
"Herschel, are you going to betray Black Mamba!"
But Herschel didn't stop his action at all, he pierced through the chests of the two men and crushed their hearts.
Ennio's pupils contracted.
"Father, why..."
"Shut up!" Herschel looked at Ennio coldly, "You are the patriarch of the Storm family, but you are like a fool being fooled."
"Do you know why the people of Black Mamba are hiding in the Storm family, and why they want to catch that woman named Eilir?"
Herschel's body trembled, as if his whole body had been struck by lightning.
"They want to use Eilir to threaten someone, and that person has a status that even Black Mamba fears, otherwise there wouldn't be a Heaven Rank expert protecting Eilir!"
"You still have some brains!" Herschel's age spots on his face were tightly furrowed, making his face even darker.
"That Eilir is the woman of the Lord of the War God Palace."
"The person Black Mamba wants to threaten is the legendary Dragon King!"
Ennio's face turned pale, he was sweating all over, and quickly asked, "Isn't Black Mamba seeking death?"
"Even if they are the world's number one mercenary group, they are nothing in front of the War God Palace!"
"Aren't they afraid that this matter will leak out and bring disaster to Black Mamba?"
Herschel snorted coldly, "I just received news, 'Black Mamba' has been completely wiped out by the 'War God Palace'!"
"All members of the 'War God Palace' have now entered the 'Red Dragon Kingdom'. Any force related to 'Black Mamba' has only one end, and that is total annihilation!"
Ennio staggered, barely able to stand.
"Then are we, the Storm family, doomed too?"
Herschel pondered for a moment, pointing to the bodies of two 'Black Mamba' members and advised, "As long as you dispose of these two bodies, no one will know the relationship between the Storm family and 'Black Mamba'."
Ennio frowned, "But Benigno went to 'the Yates family' last night and was seriously injured by Kaladin, how do we cover this up?"
Herschel chuckled lightly, clapped his hands lightly, and a man who looked exactly like Benigno walked into the room.
"Tomorrow is Benigno's birthday, just hold a lively half-birthday banquet, let everyone see Benigno safe and sound."
"If anyone brings up Benigno's matter of going to 'the Yates family' to catch people, just insist that someone was impersonating Benigno."
Finally, Ennio let out a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "'The older, the wiser', father, where did you find someone who looks so much like Benigno?"
Herschel turned around with an expressionless face, and coldly said, "When you were not at home, naturally you didn't know that your wife gave birth to twins, but one of them was born with low intelligence."
"They both have the same birthmarks on their bodies, even gods can't tell the difference!"
After saying this, Herschel's figure flashed and disappeared in an instant.
...
By the time it was dawn, a helicopter landed in the suburbs of the province.
A black car that had been waiting for a long time quickly approached.
Atius got into the car and said coldly, "Shadow, you disappoint me."
The man in black who was driving trembled, his voice full of guilt.
"Lord, it's Shadow's negligence."
The leader of the 'Shadow', who had shocked countless experts in the 'Red Dragon Kingdom', was actually teary-eyed at this time.
Atius's word "disappointment" made him feel ashamed.
Three years ago, when he was exterminated by his enemies, it was Atius who saved his life and took him as his only disciple.
A year ago, the 'Red Dragon Kingdom' personally opened up, asking Atius to help establish the 'Shadow' organization to deter domestic villains, Atius directly recommended him to that person.
But now, he can't even find out the whereabouts of his master's daughter.
Thinking of this, Shadow punched his chest and vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Master, the disciple is incompetent, and deserves death!"
Atius did not continue this topic, but asked, "What's new with the Storm family?"
Shadow gritted his teeth, "the Storm family has not found anything unusual, but today the Storm family is holding a birthday party for Benigno, and all the famous families in 'Wimston Province' will attend the banquet."
"According to reason, Benigno should have died on the spot when he was shot in the heart by Kaladin's flying knife."
Atius "um" for a moment, "The truth, just go and see!"
