Chapter 384: Chapter 318: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind (Five in One)

Danube Star Sea · Kamoden Base City · City Lord Mansion Hall.

The neat floor was covered with a red carpet, thick and soft, with red brocade curtains on the walls, cascading like waterfalls. The central area had luxurious sofas.

At that time, Lord Boyle sat on the sofa, looking at his bracelet, his eyes as cold as the dead of winter.

A butler in a red tailcoat, with pale hair and age spots all over his face, stood quietly beside him.

Then, Lord Boyle’s bracelet screen showed that the communication was connected, and soon a chilling voice arose.

"Lord."

"Quentin, what do you mean? I’ve already warned you. Why did you attack the Dark Dragon Association? And why did you use mecha within the city?" Lord Boyle coldly questioned.

"Lord, you can’t blame me. It’s the Dark Dragon Association looking for their own death, constantly coming at us!"

"Didn’t I tell you to endure it?"

"How do I endure? They kill my people and even want my life! You promised me that you would support me in eradicating them, but you have been holding me back, not letting me act!" Quentin retorted fiercely.

"How many times have I said, the Dark Dragon Association’s backer is the King. Now that you’ve wiped them out, how am I supposed to explain it to the King? What if the King intervenes?" Lord Boyle replied with a very cold gaze.

"Lord, you think too highly of them and are too cautious! Kamoden Base City is out of control, and the King hasn’t intervened. How could he possibly take the field for a mere Dark Dragon Association? Besides, the Dark Dragon Association is a menace and a source of instability. I was helping you eliminate an enemy," Quentin replied with a sneer.

Lord Boyle instantly flashed a murderous look and coldly warned.

"Fine, I don’t care what you do, but I’m warning you, keep an eye on the people and things. Don’t cause any trouble. Lord Weikank is arriving the day after tomorrow. If something goes wrong, don’t blame me for being merciless."

"Rest assured."

Seeing Lord Boyle relent, Quentin replied with a sneer.

"And be careful, investigators from the Imperial Court Academy have already entered the city."

"You don’t have to worry about that. Those guys have already been captured by me, and they’ll be sent up as an accompaniment!"

"That’s for the best!"

After saying this, Lord Boyle hung up the phone.

Then the butler, Grue, standing beside him, respectfully said, "Lord, this mad dog is about to lose control."

"I know. If it weren’t for this crucial moment, I would have chopped him up already."

Lord Boyle’s tone was very cold.

"Lord, it’s not just about this mad dog. The Dark Dragon Association has indeed been restless. Moreover, according to the reports from below, the Dark Dragon Association seems to know something and is investigating the Ghost Shadow Sect’s various secret bases."

"A bunch of damned bastards!"

"Lord, I have a plan!"

"Speak!"

"The Dark Dragon Association is looking for hiding spots, aren’t they? We might as well leak the hiding spots to them and then let the Dark Dragon Association and the Ghost Shadow Sect fight each other. When they are both weakened, we can step forward and eliminate both sides," the butler Grue suggested.

Lord Boyle, listening to Grue’s words, also furrowed his brow and then spoke.

"But that’s too risky. If it’s not well controlled, it will be like playing with fire."

"However, Lord, even if you don’t take risky measures, they will still find the hiding spots."

"You say it as if I don’t know!"

"Right now, the only way is to let them clash, and then wipe them all out. Regarding the King’s side, you can push all the blame for the destruction of the Dark Dragon Association onto Quentin. Then, present Quentin’s head to the King! If the King still insists, you have the Imperial Army to rely on."

"It seems that there’s no other way. I’ll leave this matter to you."

"Understood!"

Butler Grue respectfully replied.

...

The next night, Kamoden Base City.

Ghost Shadow Sect-governed area · Gold World Casino.

Many gamblers excitedly sat around betting tables, continuously placing bets.

"I’m in!"

"Final bets!"

...

Suddenly, a burst of gunfire erupted at the door, startling the gamblers.

Then, a group of people armed with clubs and firearms rushed in, smashing the casino’s machines, counters, and employees.

At that moment, several bouncers rushed out from inside, only to be caught in a barrage of gunfire!

"Ah!"

Accompanied by screams, numerous panic-stricken gamblers fled towards the side doors.

On the other hand, at a busy bar entrance.

Cars pulled up, and soon the doors opened, and over a hundred people jumped out, rushing into the bar.

Before long, groups of frightened patrons hurriedly escaped.

...

On the bustling streets, one after another, bikers sped along on their motorcycles, hurling Molotov cocktails at the storefronts!

Bang!

The cocktails smashed into the shops, instantly igniting blazing fires.

At once, the entire city erupted in chaos, with numerous city guards rushing to the troubled spots.

At that moment, atop a high-rise building, Su Ming and Ankaga peered through telescopic monoculars, observing the riotous city.

"Damn, is this an all-out brawl? It’s erupting everywhere, and they’re going so hard?" freēwēbnovel.com

"No, this isn’t an all-out brawl; it seems more like they’re causing disturbances!"

Su Ming sharply noticed the problem.

"Why?"

"Look carefully, the elite of the Dark Dragon Association haven’t made a move; it’s all the underlings."

"That seems true. So, what exactly are they up to? What do we do next?"

"Let’s go to the abandoned warehouse and keep an eye on it. Whatever the Dark Dragon Association is up to, Monica and others will likely be involved."
