Chapter 851 - Chapter 851 Chapter 851 Assassination

Chapter 851: Chapter 851 Assassination Chapter 851: Chapter 851 Assassination Facing Eric Holmes’s interrogation, Phil Donovan wanted to refute, but the whole meeting was in chaos, and no one believed the words of the people from the Liberty Alliance.

After all, in their view, the situation was indeed complicated at the time, and even if the object was not in Phil Donovan’s hands, it could not be denied that it might have been hidden in someone else’s hands.

The biggest oversight was that they had only captured Phil Donovan and hadn’t arrested the rest, leaving no one certain where the secrets of the Soul-snatching Flower had gone.

Had it been transferred to the hands of the higher-ups in the Liberty Alliance, or had the thief swapped it out that day?

“Eric Holmes! You bastard, don’t talk nonsense and splash this dirty water on us in the Liberty Alliance!

The man was caught by you first; I could also say that those manuals had long been taken by you. Now you’re turning around and biting us!”

James Johnson rose in anger, his voice thunderous and with an undeniable tone, pointed at Phil Donovan and said:

“No matter what you all say today, I will take the man back! If you suspect the item is in his possession, feel free to search him!”

As he finished speaking, the many strong men behind him immediately surrounded them, their domineering attitude laced with barely suppressed murderous intent.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

The possibilities laid out before them were too many, and whether the item was on Phil Donovan or with someone else, it was gradually becoming enigmatic.

“Hmph, since you can’t find anything, I will take the man away!”

James Johnson looked around, waved his hand, and the several strong men beside him immediately stepped forward, intending to forcefully take Phil Donovan away.

But Krautopia had not captured the man easily, they were hardly willing to accept such an outcome, and promptly deployed seventh-level warriors to block them.

Eric Holmes took the lead, drew the Treasure Sword, and shouted:

“Without producing the secret manuals, I dare you to try to take the man away today!”

Swish, swish, swish!

People from both sides drew their swords, and the atmosphere instantly became tense, escalating to a breaking point.

Amid this, the Fox and Black Wolf glanced at each other, instinctively gripped their weapons, ready to respond to any enemy at a moment’s notice.

In the midst of this chaos, they would side with neither party, only seeking to preserve themselves first and foremost.

“Ha ha ha…”

James Johnson let out a cold laugh, completely unfazed by the show of force from the smaller countries, and mocked:

“We’ll just have to see if you have the ability! Also, I’d advise you to think carefully about what it means to oppose the Freedom Alliance!”

“Attack!”

Finally, following his command, the many masters of the Freedom Alliance struck, without any further inclination to negotiate.

In mere seconds, dozens of masters split into two groups, one attacking Eric Holmes and his people, the other rescuing Phil Donovan.

Close-quarters combat began; amidst the flash of blades and the shadows of the swords, a rampant killing intent emerged. The various Bloodline Powers mingled together, creating a spectacle of clashing colorful energy waves that smashed the table in front of them to pieces, making the scene even more chaotic.

“Big Brother Fox, what do we do?”

Black Wolf saw more and more people engaging in the fight, leaving only their Dragon King’s Palace group standing still, and subconsciously asked.

The Fox snorted coldly, “Just watch! We cannot wade into this dirty water. Standing on either side is wrong!”

One must admire the foresight of the Dragon King in this regard; before coming, he had already instructed them that regardless of whether a fight broke out during the meeting, the Dragon King’s Palace was to maintain a neutral stance.

Of course, any specific decisions had to be queried from the Dragon King himself. The situation in the meeting had changed rapidly, and in just a moment, many eyes turned towards the Dragon King’s Palace, making even him feel somewhat out of control.

Considering this, the Fox turned his head and whispered, “Find a way to get the message back and see if the Dragon King has any other orders!”

…

Five minutes later, at the Dragon King’s Palace.

Greg Jensen, who was in the midst of cultivation, suddenly received a message.

He learned that at the international conference, the Liberty Alliance, in order to rescue Phil Donovan, had not hesitated to come to blows with the other major countries, causing utter chaos at the scene.

“Heh, it seems it’s just as I thought; these people are afraid they’ve bet on the wrong horse, preferring to err on the side of killing rather than not trying to save him.”

In the face of such a situation, the Liberty Alliance had no real choice.

After all, they had no way of knowing whether the object was in Phil Donovan’s possession.

To hand him over meant the risk of the secret handbook falling into someone else’s hands.

To snatch him back meant inevitably offending the major countries internationally.

Since that was the case, the Dragon King’s Palace could no longer maintain an absolutely neutral stance.

Otherwise, it would easily be suspected and ostracized by the major countries.

Having realized this, he immediately composed a message and ordered Black Wolf:

“You take action as well, appear as resolute as possible in front of them. The Liberty Alliance is now like a rat crossing the street, everyone is out to get them. Even if we end up in opposition, it won’t trace back to the Eight countries in Southeast!”

Or to put it another way, this incident was orchestrated by Krautopia and the other countries combined; if anyone were to be held accountable later, they would be the main targets. The Liberty Alliance wouldn’t bother going after each one individually.

“Yes, Dragon King, we will take action immediately!”

“Hmm, and one more thing!!”

Greg Jensen suddenly thought of something and added, “The Liberty Alliance has come prepared this time, they will surely have an eighth-level powerhouse by their side. If they manage to get Phil Donovan out of there, you and the Fox see if there’s a chance to assassinate him!”

“This… Dragon King, do you intend to silence him, to make the situation even more confusing?”

“Exactly! You have my psychic scrolls, there’s no need to fear capture. With safety ensured, see if you can manage to kill him!”

To prevent most people from recognizing the Three-eyed Golden Eagle, he had even disguised it a bit in advance, making it look like a normal eagle.

Even though such action would infuriate the Liberty Alliance immediately, their assassination angle was, after all, from the perspective of national interest. The major countries would certainly offer their full support; there was no need for the Eight countries in Southeast to be pushed into the limelight.

After hanging up the phone, Greg Jensen waited patiently.

The matter of the international conference would surely be decided today; it was only unknown what the final outcome would be.

Knock knock knock!

Just then, a knocking sound came from outside.

“Come in, the door isn’t locked!”

“Yes!”

The door opened, and in walked Shark, all smiles.

Without raising his head, Greg Jensen asked, “Have you found out everything you were tasked to investigate?”

“Yes! I had to exert quite a bit of effort, mobilizing several countries’ dark webs to find the specific location. Dragon King, please have a look!”

Shark nodded, handed over a document with a grave expression, and stood respectfully to the side, saying:

“The places aren’t too far off, but they have all been bought by someone already, which might pose some trouble!”
