Finn Lewis parked his car some distance away from the gated community and proceeded to walk in. Once he had left his car, two other cars driven by Code 1 and Code 2 stopped behind his, their occupants following Finn in. Naturally, they carried a sufficient number of weapons. Watching them, Finn felt an unusual sense of security.

Olivia Thatcher had sent their location to Code 1 and Code 2. So, all Finn needed to do was follow them. Shortly after, the three of them arrived outside the mansion. From the outside, light was emitting from the unfinished structure. Finn and the others stayed out of sight from the mansion where two guards were positioned.

“Can we go up there?” Finn pointed to the upper floor of the villa and asked.

“Yes, just follow me, young sir.” Code 1 responded promptly.

The trio quickly sneaked up to the second floor of the villa. The residents were all on the first floor. From the top of the stairwell, Finn peered down with interest. Brian Barry and three other bodyguards had been tied up and placed on the upper floor of the hall, surrounded by eight individuals.

In the hands of these eight people, three held handguns. A middle-aged man sat in their midst. From his behavior, Finn deduced that he wasn’t a bodyguard but rather, a member of the Miller Clan.

. Mr. King, on the account of the years we’ve devoted to serving you. You can do what you wish with me, but please let my three brothers go.” From the upper floor came the crackling sound of the fireplace. A haggard expression was on Brian’s face, it was evident that they had been beaten before they arrived.

“Brian, as a bodyguard, and having been in this business for as many years as you have, you should know the consequences of failing to protect your employer. If you die because of this incident, the Miller Clan would not be partial. Your family will receive a hefty compensation. However, not just failing to protect your employer, you even broke your employer’s arms. You know what you’ve done.” The middle-aged man said impassively.

“And you need not bother with pleading, it won’t help. Instead, you should ponder over any unfulfilled wishes you have.” The middle-aged man added.

“Brian, there’s no need to beg them. When we started in this line, we knew we were putting our lives on the line. We were just unlucky to wind up with an employer like them. They are incompetent and love stirring trouble, and when they do, the blame falls on us. Why don’t you go and pick a fight with the other party if you have the guts? You know where they are, don’t you dare?” The bitter accusation came from the bodyguard seated next to Brian.

“Ha, whether we dare or not is our business. Since he offended the King family, he won’t be able to survive on this land for long. I have yet to witness any formidable adversaries, but I’ve encountered plenty who overestimate themselves, ending up only as cannon fodder.” The middle-aged man let out a faintly amused chuckle.

“Enough said! Just do whatever you plan to, and for you guys, if we have our today, you all will have your tomorrow. Just stay with the King family, you know what your fate will be.” The bodyguard once again raised his head to glance at the seven or eight bodyguards around him and spoke coldly.

“You don’t have to incite dissent. In this world, those who do wrong shall face punishment. Since you’ve done wrong, you’ll have to accept your punishment.” The middle-aged man lightly waved his hand and spoke.

“Okay, then. But I hope Mr. King, you’ll give our families enough money, as we have risked our lives for you.” Brian managed a bitter smile, then spoke in a somewhat despondent tone.

“Rest assured about that. We can definitely afford to cover that small sum. Each of your families will receive two million.” The middle-aged man confidently nodded his head.

A series of sniggers broke out. Finally, Finn could not hold it in anymore, the situation was just too comical.

“Who’s there?!” At the words of the middle-aged man, the bodyguards below reacted swiftly enough. They quickly surrounded him. Among the three with guns, two lifted theirs, targeting the stairs upstairs.

“Bang” “Bang”, two crisp gunshots sounded. Two bullet wounds burst from the wrists of the bodyguards holding the guns. Accompanied by two screams, their guns fell to the ground.

“I would advise you all not to move.” Finn also spoke with a smile. As he did so, Code 1 and Code 2 emerged from their respective rooms. Code 1 held a Gatling six-barrel machine gun, with at least three thousand bullets on his back. Code 2 held an automatic rifle. The two shots fired earlier were his handiwork.

Although these firearms seemed similar to those on Earth, their performance was many times superior. Moreover, they were operated by two powerful robots.

Upon seeing the two men, the middle-aged man sitting in the center and the surrounding bodyguards turned pale, their faces full of terror. The weapon in Code I’s hand had an overwhelming impact.

“Bang, bang,” Code 1 standing there suddenly pulled the trigger. The horrifying sound of gunfire echoed as a string of bullets struck the wall of the mansion. With “thud” “thud” sounds, what followed was the appearance of several basin-sized holes in the reinforced concrete wall, more than a foot thick behind these people.

After witnessing such power, all the bodyguards were left speechless. How could they compete? “The two of you standing outside, I suggest you come in, otherwise, you might find a bullet with your names on it.” Finn Lewis spoke softly and did not surface, as it was too dangerous their current circumstances.

Faced with such a straight-forward threat, the two bodyguards originally stationed at the door dare not hide there any longer, and slowly made their way inside.

Only when the earpiece received a safety confirmation from Number One did Finn dare to descend from the second floor. As he walked down, he casually asked, “Chandler King?”

“Who are you?” the middle-aged man steadied his expression and asked in a deep voice.

“Who am I? Aren’t I the dead man you just mentioned? I came here to get a closer look. I, handling dragons crossing the river? That’s a laugh. You could say Celeston City is my territory, and you think you can hide such actions in a place like this from me? Does the King family consider themselves something special?” Finn laughed as he slowly descended from the second floor.

Most of the bodyguards downstairs were ones that Finn had met last night. Thanks to the Intelligence Potion, Finn’s memory was now exceptional and he remembered their faces clearly.

Finn’s words made Chandler King’s expression drain. It meant that Finn had been there for a while and they were unaware of it. The fact that this location had been found so quickly even though it was a temporary hideout meant that someone had informed Finn.

Because the King family had had no previous interactions with Finn, there would have been no conflict between the two unless for the incident that occurred last night. Hence, it was impossible that these guards had contacted

Finn in advance.

Chandler King knew what these implications meant – their every move was being watched by Finn. The fact that he could even monitor the King family without them noticing was terrifying. Who exactly were these people? And moreover, they’d never heard of a powerful underground force existing in Flame Nation before.

It now seemed that the situation had far exceeded his imagination. Finn was not afraid to reveal this information now because the King family dared not speak of it. And when they eventually did dare, Finn believed that by then, his power would have grown exponentially.

“Your name is Brian Barry, right? Seems like I didn’t take you seriously enough yesterday. I thought the King family would be grateful to you, but looking at it now, all the effort you put in yesterday seemed to be in vain,” Finn ignored Chandler King and directly addressed Brian.

Brian Barry gave a bitter smile: “Mr. Lewis, you’re joking. As the saying goes Loyalty to the employer you serve. Since I am their bodyguard, I should consider their interests.”

“Not bad, having such awareness is a commendable thing. It’s a pity you’re with the King family. How about working for me?” Finn cheerfully squatted down in front of Barry and his men and asked.

Brian wore another bitter smile: “Do we even have a choice?”

“Of course, the choice to die now or decades later,” Finn nodded and responded.

“I don’t think anyone would choose to die now,” Brian said candidly.

“Well, since it’s like this, it seems you’re not half bad,”Finn said while pulling a dagger from his pocket. He cut the plastic ropes binding Brian’s arms and tossed the dagger to him, instructing him to release his fellow brothers.

“Mr. King, I really didn’t want to come here, ” Finn stated as he stood up.

“However, I heard there was going to be quite a spectacle here tonight, so I came to take a look. Looking at it now, it truly is wonderful.” Finn lightly clapped his hands and chuckled.

“What do you want?” Chandler King, sitting in the center, asked with an ashen face.

“I don’t want anything. I just thought of a game, oh yes, a game inspired by your earlier speech, Mr. King. Would you like to play with me?” Finn shrugged..
