When Miguel Abbott finished speaking, everyone looked at him with strange expressions.

His identity yet he showed such reverence toward Julius Reed.

It was like a subordinate showing humility in front of their boss.

“Come at me with your vengeance in Five-river Province,” he announced. “Better if you all come at once, so I can deal with you in one go.”

Julius Reed stood up, looked around, and said, “You only get one shot. There’s no turning back once you’ve loosed an arrow. If you’ve made up your mind, bring it on!”

After these words, he left the conference room with long strides.

Miguel Abbott and others followed right behind him.

No one dared to stop them, this was no time for games!

If things went wrong, none of them would make it out alive!

Maurice Yarrow sighed in relief as he watched them leave the building.

“My Three Blade Group is tied up with business, let’s talk another time!” he said as he stood up and unhesitatingly left the conference room.

“I’ve got something too!”

“There are too many troubles at the company.”

“My child is sick.”

One after another, many influential people also stood up and left.

No one dared stay seated, it was too dangerous.

In the end, only Stanislaus Potter and the Leopold Family remained.

These people came and left in a hurry, and in just an hour, their attitudes had completely changed.

“Until your Leopold Family gives me an explanation, you’re not going anywhere,” Stanislaus Potter said, touching the blood on his forehead. “Take them, back to Golden Eagle Group!”

Inside Miguel Abbott’s dedicated vehicle.

“Mr. Reed, that was masterful. Even though it was fake, you scared them silly.” Even if it was fake, the direct intimidation had set those people scurrying. “Now Stanislaus Potter will likely focus his attention on the Leopold Family.”

Looking at the passing scenery, Miguel Abbott pondered for a moment and then said, “Mr. Reed, what should we do next?”

He had not expected Julius Reed to secure such damning evidence.

Even a fool would recognize it was Atlas Leopold’s doing when faced with the video and photos.

With this evidence, the alliance that was about to be formed instantly splintered.

“Watch and wait.”

Julius Reed sat in the back, eyes closed, conserving energy.

Remaining unchanging as a response to myriad changes was the simplest method.

“Squeak!”

Suddenly, the car came to a halt.

“What’s going on!” Miguel Abbott yelled angrily, “Can’t you drive?”

His driver was specially trained, not only exceptional in driving skills but also good in a fight.

In critical moments, he was like a personal bodyguard.

An abrupt situation like today was a first for him.

Especially with Julius Reed in the back seat, it made Miguel Abbott even more displeased.

“Boss, look…”

The driver pointed to a suddenly collapsed concrete pillar ahead, his eyes wary.

“If I hadn’t hit the brakes in time, that pillar might have crushed our car by now.”

After he spoke, Miguel Abbott noticed a concrete pillar had indeed collapsed in front of them, with the dust from the ground still unsettled.

“What’s going on!”

This was the old city area, hardly populated anymore.

But it was the essential route to the Pearl on the Water.

The old, rundown city had many of its electric poles made of old concrete pillars.

To call it a coincidence due to wear and tear seemed too convenient.

Had it been another time, Miguel Abbott might have believed it, but given the sensitive timing, he couldn’t help suspecting otherwise.

Around them were deserted brick buildings.

These red brick buildings were ancient, and due to the enormous cost of demolition, they had been neglected.

After the electricity and water became inconvenient, many residents moved out in succession.

By now, basically no one was left, and the town was essentially a ghost town.

The bodyguards immediately got out of the car and surveyed their surroundings.

They were on high alert, some clearing barricades in front of them, others circling around Miguel Abbott’s vehicle and inspecting it closely.

After all, at such a sensitive time, one couldn’t rule out someone losing their restraint.

Whiz!

Just then, an almost inaudible sound rang out.

A bodyguard standing in front of Miguel Abbott’s car fell in response to the sound.

A dart appeared in his forehead, and he was killed instantly.

“Attention! There’s a hidden assailant!”

The lead bodyguard shouted, and immediately someone guarded Miguel Abbott’s side.

“Boss, please step back for a moment!”

In this critical moment, the bodyguards formed a barrier with their lives, protecting Miguel Abbott’s safety.

At the same time, the bodyguards all drew their weapons.

Some of them ran towards the general direction of the attacker while others provided cover in the direction of the town.

Luckily, there were no people left here, so no matter how intense the fight, it wouldn’t draw any attention.

Whiz!

Another bodyguard fell into a pool of blood.

“At least two assailants with hidden weapons, everyone be careful!”

They were attacked from both front and rear. It seemed the enemy had planned

this well in advance.

“Stay in the car, don’t move!”

Julius Reed instructed Miguel Abbott, then he flung open the car door and bolted out.

“Mr. Reed…”

Miguel Abbott had just tried to stop him when Julius Reed had already darted out more than ten meters away.

Whiz! Whiz!

The sounds arose simultaneously, but they all hit the ground under Julius

Reed’s feet.

Whiz!

Another one.

Yet even so, Julius Reed was still unharmed.

Whoosh!

The instant he heard the sound, Julius Reed quickly locked onto the Shadow Warrior’s position.

He sprinted with all his might, and when the distance narrowed to less than twenty meters, he violently hurled a flying knife!

Hiss!

The sharp blade slashed through the air, stabbing straight into the assailant’s forehead.

The Shadow Warrior on the fifth floor did not even have time to react before he was dead.

But Julius Reed did not pay attention to the other two, he charged straight into the building where the Shadow Warrior was located.

“Clang! ”

As he reached the fourth floor, a long knife swept past his body and chopped into the stairwell wall.

Whiz!

Julius Reed punched out directly, knocking the Shadow Warrior to the ground.

Then, before the other could react, he grabbed the steel knife and ended the life of the Shadow Warrior.

Both people inside the building were dead.

At that moment, he walked over to the first slain assailant.

Whiz!

A streak of cold light grazed his body and hit the wall behind him.

In an instant, Julius Reed locked onto the position of the other party.

Whiz!

This time, it was his turn.

With a practiced move, he sent the dart flying straight into the assailant’s body.

Although the Shadow Warrior was trying hard to dodge, he was still hit in the shoulder.

The next moment, Miguel Abbott’s bodyguards had already charged up the stairs and pinned down the Shadow Warrior.

Seeing the dire situation, the last remaining person prepared to leave.

But how could Julius Reed let him escape?

He leapt from the fifth floor in a single bound!

A normal person would have been injured, even without breaking any bones, but Julius Reed rolled lightly on the ground using the force from the walls and then sprinted away quickly!
