Meanwhile, as Dean McKenzie and Jay Murray faced each other.
At the Mirror Stand in Spring City.
Ennis Hawkins sat in an interrogation room.
In front of him were a young man and woman.
Ennis had been cooperating with their questioning.
Suddenly, one of the tools on him lit up.
Almost immediately as the tool lit up, the young man interrogating Ennis raised an eyebrow?
“A communication tool? Who gave you permission to use a communication tool
in the interrogation room?
Hand it over!”
Ennis wasn’t fazed by this.
“Look, I’m here to cooperate with your investigation, not a criminal, and as the captain of the Spring City Ninth Enforcement Team, I do have this privilege!” While saying this kindly, Ennis picked up the communication tool to check.
Upon one glance, his eyebrows wrinkled.
“I’m sorry, I need to step out for a while!’
Saying this, Ennis prepared to leave.
But this action infuriated the two young interrogators even further.
“Step out? Ennis, are you aware of the situation?
This is the Mirror Stand, you can’t come and go as you please!’
The pair stepped in to block Ennis, but Ennis pulled out a scroll.
“Apologies, it’s urgent. I will apologize to you both when I return!”
As he spoke, he prepared to use his scroll.
But then a stern voice rang out.
“Stop!”
The power of the Mirror Stand structure came into effect. An invisible force burst forth, causing the scroll in Ennis’ hand to lose its power.
At the same time, a tall figure entered the interrogation room.
It was Breanna Holt, the highest authority of the Mirror Stand in Spring City.
She entered with a stem face and said coldly, “I don’t care what issues you have, you are not leaving the Mirror Stand today, that is my order!”
Her strong attitude made Ennis swallow back the explanation he had on the tip of his tongue.
His face grew serious and resolute.
“Well, then I’m afraid I have to cross the line today!”
As he spoke, Ennis burst forth with a bright golden light, charging straight for the door of the interrogation room.
“Resisting the investigation violently, Ennis, you are completely out of control!
Stop right there!”
Breanna’s eyebrows raised as she drew a whip and lashed out at Ennis.
Ennis knocked it away in a backhand swipe, and they collided violently.
“Boom!”
Breanna was thrown back, while Ennis smashed through the interrogation room door and vanished in a beam of light.
Breanna, left recoiling, looked extremely livid. She gave an order to the two next to her, “Immediately send out my command – Ennis Hawkins has fled from justice. Consider him a wanted criminal and conduct a citywide manhunt for him!”
“Yes!”
The two young people at her side promptly prepared to relay the order.
“Wait wait wait, don’t be hasty, don’t be hasty!
A fat man appeared at that moment, panting as he ran over.
After a moment, the fat man finally reached Breanna, panting and saying,
-Br…Breanna, you can’t do this. The consequences will be severe if you do!”
“Severe consequences?”
Breanna burst out laughing at these words, “Ennis violently broke the law, charging out of my Mirror Stand. Everyone witnessed it. I’m following the rules and you’re telling me the consequences will be severe?
“Fine! Let’s see just how severe the consequences will be!”
Then, Breanna Holt completely ignored the chubby man’s objections and promptly declared Ennis Hawkins a wanted felon.
Seeing Breanna Holt pull this off, the panting chubby man who had been advising her became fairly composed. Watching Breanna Holt’s retreating figure, he mocked, “You didn’t heed my advice, and you will regret it!
Who do you think Ennis Hawkins is? Do you think the connections he has cultivated over decades can be shaken by a newcomer like you?
“You’re just asking for trouble!”
Breanna Holt did not hear the chubby man’s words, and even if she had, she would not have paid them any mind.
In her eyes, Ennis Hawkins was merely a soft-hearted old man.
What she didn’t realise was how deeply rooted this soft-heartedness was, having been cultivated in Spring City for nearly twenty years.
What does that mean?
Breanna quickly found out.
Less than half an hour after Mirror Stand had issued its declaration that Ennis Hawkins was on the run, problems quickly arose.
The law enforcement teams of Spring City surrounded Mirror Stand in a show
of force.
All the team leaders, save for Ennis Hawkins himself, joined forces and infiltrated Mirror Stand to ‘invite’ Breanna out for a discussion.
Of course, as the highest in command at Mirror Stand, Breanna had her tricks
too.
The team leaders who came in were under her control in less than half an hour.
But that mattered little.
Before long, the head of Spring City’s branch personally arrived at Mirror
Stand.
A man even higher up in the chain also quickly called Breanna.
In less than five minutes, the team leaders were released, and Mirror Stand rescinded its warrant for Ennis Hawkins’s arrest.
Not only that, but Breanna Holt’s responsibility as the head of Mirror Stand was temporarily revoked, and Mirror Stand issued an apology to Ennis Hawkins over the incident.
By now, Breanna finally understood the severe consequences the chubby man had been speaking of.
She also finally understood how terrifying a network of contacts the soft-hearted old man she had underestimated, Ennis Hawkins, commanded in the Professional Alliance.
But it is too late!
South Hill Base, Goblin Forest.
As soon as Ennis Hawkins left Mirror Stand, he made immediate use of the
Scroll.
He was instantly transported to the Goblin Forest.
He arrived at the spot where Dean McKenzie had first activated
communication.
Barely touching down, his brow furrowed deeply.
With his skills and profession, he could clearly sense that a Fallen Professional had just been here.
He even managed to accurately deduce the other party’s identity, job, and strength.
“Level 21, Bloody Warrior, main attributes Strength and Agility, Elite Template! So they even used a One-turn entity. Kid, you have to hold on!” Ennis Hawkins muttered as he moved deeper into the Goblin Forest.
He moved swiftly, pushing his speed to the limit.
“Almost there, I’m almost there!”
Feeling the distance between himself and Dean McKenzie closing, Ennis brightened up, shouting in advance: “Listen here, Bloody Church scum, if you dare to harm that kid, I, Ennis Hawkins, promise to use all my connections to wage a life-or-death battle against your Bloody Church!”
In the midst of issuing threats and attempting to intimidate,
Ennis Hawkins swung his sword radiating divine light, making a grand entrance.
However, when Ennis Hawkins arrived deep in the Goblin Forest, at the edge of an Altar and brandishing his holy sword intending to rescue Dean McKenzie, he froze.
There he was, the guy he was supposed to rescue, gingerly commanding Skeletons to carry people from the blood-soaked altar while staring at him in shock.
Upon locking eyes with the stunned Dean McKenzie, glancing at the now lifeless body of Jay Murray by their side with a hole in his chest, and recalling his own brash words, Ennis couldn’t help but blush..
