Clarence, accompanied by Maxine and Decco, hurriedly walked towards the backyard of the Walker family's mansion.
As soon as they entered, they saw Bridget pouncing towards Clarence like an enraged little lioness.
"Clarence, it's all your fault. If it weren't for you, my dad wouldn't have been in trouble. You're a curse, I hate you, I hate you!"
However, Bridget hadn't reached Clarence when she was seized by a lotus arm.
"Daring to disrespect the Dragonhead, seeking death!" Maxine coldly stated.
This statement, like an avalanche, instantly calmed Bridget down.
Yet, Bridget still looked at Clarence with eyes full of anger and resentment.
Clarence slightly frowned, seemingly guessing something.
He asked in a deep voice, "What happened to Uncle Walker?"
Dorothy angrily exclaimed,
"How dare you ask what happened to us?"
"My husband was fine this afternoon, but after you left, he started rummaging through things, and just now, he suddenly passed out. It must be your doing!"
"I've always said not to get involved with the Van family's affairs, but he wouldn't listen. Now look what happened, you owe me my husband!"
As Dorothy spoke, she began to cry, and Bridget also looked tearful.
Clarence's frown deepened, ignoring the Walker family members, he went into the tea room to check on Vikram's condition.
At this moment, Vikram was unconscious, with dark circles under his eyes and purplish lips.
Clarence checked Vikram's pulse, and in a few seconds, his expression turned utterly cold, then he instructed,
"Decco, take Uncle Walker back to the base immediately, no matter the cost, we must save his life and wake him up."
"Yes, Dragonhead!"
"What are you doing, don't take my dad away!" Bridget protected Vikram with her body.
Clarence gave Bridget a cold glance and said,
"First, Uncle Walker's condition has nothing to do with me, second, if you continue to cause trouble, your father really won't survive."
Bridget was stunned, and before she could react, Decco had already carried Vikram away.
In fact, Bridget knew that this incident should have nothing to do with Clarence.
But if it weren't for Clarence's appearance, such a thing would not have happened to the Walker family.
Even though Clarence had good intentions, Bridget still harboured dissatisfaction towards him.
Clarence did not pay attention to the Walker family's cold attitude towards him, and after handling the situation, he left the Walker family.
...
The moonlight was like water.
Clarence walked slowly on the cold streets, his shadow long and stretched.
"Dragonhead, your body has not recovered, be careful not to catch a cold."
Maxine thoughtfully stepped forward, draping a black coat over Clarence's shoulders.
"When will the battle jet from the north arrive?"
"Reporting to the Dragonhead, this time we dispatched the U210 jet, which will arrive at the Zensea private airport within half an hour."
Only then did Clarence nod and say, "Then let's wait."
"It seems there must be someone behind this manipulating things."
On the battlefield, Clarence had always been invincible and versatile.
He had experienced all kinds of conspiracies and battle formations.
However, the unexpected incident with Uncle Walker was beyond his expectation.
But the more it was so, the more it indicated that behind the death of his foster father's family, there must be a huge conspiracy.
No matter who the other party was, he had to drag them out.
Just then, a Hidden Dragon Guard appeared and handed a photo to Maxine.
"Dragonhead, this is a clue discovered by the Hidden Dragon Guard in Vikram's tea room, please have a look."
After saying that, Maxine presented an old photo to Clarence with both hands.
Clarence received this photo, which had a sense of age to it.
In the photo were three young men, all around twenty years old, in the prime of their youth.
The three people in the photo were arm in arm, looking very close to each other.
Clarence's pupils shrank upon seeing the youth in the middle, it was actually his adoptive father.
And the person on the left was Vikram, who was currently in a coma.
As for the young man on the right... Clarence frowned slightly, he looked somewhat familiar.
However, he could not remember who it was, probably having met him in his childhood.
"Dragonhead, these two should be good friends of your adoptive father. Vikram is now in a coma, and the young man on the right is the only clue."
Clarence nodded, then a flash of lightning crossed his mind, and he finally remembered who this person was.
He was one of his father's closest friends, named Norris.
However, he remembered that Norris had left Cathay over a decade ago.
Since then, the contact with the Van family had not been so close, only sending some gifts during the New Year.
"Maxine, go and check this person's information and inform me once you have it."
"Understood!"
After Clarence returned to Desvail Mountain, Maxine went to look up information on Norris.
To others, searching for a person who had disappeared for over a decade was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But for the Hidden Dragon Guard, finding people was their simplest and easiest task.
Just after returning to the Desvail Mountain No.1 villa, Maxine came back.
"Dragonhead, I have found him. This person is named Norris, currently 54 years old, residing in No. 2 Imperial Dragon International Villas in Gangnam City, the capital of Gangnam Province."
Clarence nodded slightly, so the Norris family had moved to the capital of Gangnam Province, Gangnam City, for development.
Gangnam City was about three hundred kilometres away from Cathay, and the journey could take about two and a half hours.
"It's too late tonight. After dealing with the matters of the Nyse Group tomorrow, follow me to Gangnam City."
"Yes, Dragonhead."
In the early hours of the morning, Decco also returned from Cathay's private airport, weary from travel.
"How are things?" Clarence asked, sitting cross-legged on the bed, his expression unchanged.
"Reporting to Dragonhead, after diagnosis by the accompanying military doctor, Vikram was poisoned with a poison named x—kg."
Clarence's eyes narrowed, it was x—kg?
He had already known that Uncle Walker was poisoned when he took Vikram's pulse, but he did not expect it to be this kind of poison.
x—kg, colorless and odorless, spreads through the air. Just a whiff of it can destroy the brain's nerves.
In mild cases, it leads to memory loss and vegetative state, and in severe cases, death.
Moreover, the mortality rate of x—kg can reach more than 85%, and there is still no specific medicine available to treat the poisoned patients.
"Dragonhead, x—kg is a trick commonly used by international underground assassin organizations, belonging to top-grade contraband, almost unfindable in Cathay, and inaccessible to ordinary people." Decco said in a deep voice.
Clarence was guessing, could the poisoning of Uncle Walker be the work of an international top-level assassin organization?
"What did the military doctor say, how confident are they in curing Vikram?" Decco steadied himself before speaking,
"With the current medical level in the North, it is enough to ensure that Vikram does not die, but to wake him up, it will take some time."
"Dragonhead, I have already asked George Washington to take action, there should be no problems." Clarence nodded lightly and said.
"Tell George Washington to be careful, I will give him one month's time, if he cannot cure him within a month, I will hang him on the flagpole for three days without allowing him down."
Decco's expression became serious, and he hurriedly agreed.
However, turning around, he couldn't help but smile.
He never thought that the famous George Washington in the North would have such a day.
