Chapter 381: Chapter 354: Righteously Defending (2nd update)

Today, Store No. 9 is closed.

Filbert Fisher hit a wall, originally wanting to return to the surface, but followed a commotion and saw a person lying on the ground.

The death was gruesome.

Looking at the young girl with the crowd, she was wearing a different mask, but Filbert Fisher recognized her at first glance.

It was the person he had come into contact with before.

He had the thought of bringing her into the Fisher Family at the time.

His eyes were burning as they stayed on the girl standing there.

If he could have her abilities, he wouldn’t have to suffer as much now.

In the end, it was because he was too weak.

Filbert Fisher looked back at Shop No.9.

Since he couldn’t go through the normal procedure, he could only take a shortcut.

A bold idea surfaced in his mind.

*

Deaths from fights in the Dark City were usually very common.

But what made it worse today was that the person sitting in the pharmacy wasn’t the actual boss, but someone else.

Some people seemed to know the origin of the middle-aged man.

After seeing the man fall, they all backed away.

Evan Taylor came over and whispered to Chloe Stephens, "This person’s identity doesn’t seem that simple; I’ve checked, and he’s most likely from the Imperial Capital."

Chloe Stephens calmly said, "Can’t I kill someone from the Imperial Capital?"

"That’s not the point," Evan Taylor explained, "After all, it involves the Imperial Capital. What if he’s from an ancient clan..."

"He wanted to kill me, so why can’t I kill him? What kind of reasoning is that."

As Chloe Stephens’s calm words fell, she looked at the masked people.

Seeing this, a few of the masked people turned and left.

They were going to spread the news.

Chloe Stephens didn’t stop them.

She killed someone here, and everyone saw it.

Even if she killed the informant, she couldn’t cover everyone’s eyes and mouths.

*

A team member strode into the office.

Len Hawthorne, who was still on the phone, raised his hand to signal for a moment.

"Keep a close eye on the Imperial Capital; I may not be able to return in a short time."

After responding to the other party’s question, Len hung up the phone and looked at the incoming team member.

The team member’s expression was somewhat solemn: "We received news from Dark City, Team Hawthorne; your Tenth Uncle died."

"Seth Hawthorne? He’s in Sheffield City?" Len was somewhat surprised, "Did he come to watch me?"

"Not really... it seems he went after Miss Chloe Stephens."

The team member wiped his cold sweat, having heard about Chloe’s power from his Dark City teammates for the first time; he was shocked.

Len raised his beautiful eyebrows: "So, he died at Little Chloe’s hands this time?"

"Yes..." The team member observed Len’s reaction and asked, "Aren’t you surprised?"

Len straightened his attire and bit the cigarette in his mouth. "Haven’t you all already witnessed Little Chloe’s power?"

The team member asked, "When was that?"

How come he didn’t know?

"Oh, you may have missed it."

"..."

*

A member of the Hawthorne Family died in Sheffield City’s underground city.

The news spread quickly.

It soon reached the Imperial Capital Hawthorne Family.

Josh Hawthorne hung up the phone.

He walked into the study room of the family leader, Steve Hawthorne.

"Seth was killed in Sheffield City’s underground city by someone using a Gu."

Steve Hawthorne frowned, "What did you say?"

"This time, Seth Hawthorne really died at the hands of others. He was saved once before, but now he’s come to Sheffield City again. He probably collaborated with someone to target Len Hawthorne in Sheffield City. As a result, he was killed by someone close to him. Even though it was his fate, since someone from our Hawthorne Family has died, the other party must give an explanation."

Len’s Uncle Josh, looked at Steve Hawthorne, waiting for his orders.

Steve Hawthorne was very angry. He slammed the table with a cold expression, "Those who get involved with him never end well. If it was someone from outside the Hawthorne Family who took action, say no more, you can handle it. If it was this brat who caused this, bring him back. He even killed his own uncle, who’s next among us?"

"Yes, I’ll prepare to head to Sheffield City right away."

Steve Hawthorne waved his hand with a gloomy face, telling him to hurry up and handle the matter.

*

Filbert Fisher didn’t stay in Dark City waiting to see how things would be handled.

After leaving Dark City, he returned to his family and gathered his people to discuss matters.

At this time in Dark City, those wearing masks hadn’t left yet. They guarded the middle-aged man, waiting for the other party to arrive.

Half an hour later.

Riley Downing couldn’t help but walk to Chloe Stephens’ side from the front of the crowd.

"Sister, shall we wait for the other party to show up?"

"Wait."

When people come, they can eliminate the roots.

Figure out why the other party targeted them and what for.

They hadn’t waited for the other party’s forces to arrive.

But the Slaughter Squad did.

The sudden appearance of the Slaughter Squad caused the people in Dark City to instinctively retreat.

A charming man in camouflage appeared in everyone’s sight. Some people couldn’t help but hold their breath, following his stride with their eyes as he moved.

Chloe, looking up from the front, saw the crowd parting. The man had a cigarette in his mouth, his phoenix eyes narrow with a hint of a smile.

However, it wasn’t as gentle as usual, a bit cold instead.

He seemed like a bewitching figure that walked out of a painting, all stern and iron-blooded, yet with a face that could bring calamity to the world.

The few masked men standing in front of the middle-aged man saw Len Hawthorne, and their expressions changed.

It was clear they recognized him.

It was the first time the people in Dark City saw the Slaughter Squad appear in such a big formation, their retreating steps hastened.

Len Hawthorne brought a considerable amount of people with him.

Furthermore, their imposing manner made no one dare approach.

When Evan Taylor saw Len Hawthorne, his expression also changed a bit.

He could still remember clearly the "threat" last time.

Now seeing Len Hawthorne suddenly appear here, he was somewhat worried that things could get out of control.

He looked at Chloe, and before he could speak to Len to remind him of their acquaintanceship to give the Taylor Family some face, Len spoke first: "Take the man away."

Team members came forward, lifting up Seth Hawthorne to take him away.

Evan Taylor’s forward movement paused.

Weren’t they going to take Chloe?

"Haw... Team Hawthorne..." The masked Hawthorne Family members said in a deep voice, "This is a man from our Hawthorne Family, what are you doing?"

"What, is the Hawthorne Family trying to intervene in my team handling some garbage for me in Dark City?" Len said, looking at them with a neither-smiling-nor-crying expression.

The Hawthorne Family members looked incredulous, "But he’s your Tenth Uncle."

"I don’t have much to do with the Hawthorne Family. The Slaughter Squad has always been impartial and never made exceptions for anyone. How about it, does the Hawthorne Family want me to make an exception? Then ask everyone in Dark City if they’ll give this opportunity. I’m looking forward to seeing the Hawthorne Family persuade everyone."

With that, Len smiled and stood still, waiting for everyone’s reaction.

Everyone paused, and then reacted.

People got worked up, pointing at the Hawthorne Family members and cursing them.

Evan Taylor found himself dumbfounded.

So, Len was showing favor to Chloe now?

Riley Downing also looked astonished, glancing from one person to another.

Chloe wasn’t surprised by Len’s actions at all.

It seemed natural.

However.

Her thoughts were ahead of the game.

The Hawthorne Family members were both angry and anxious, and the people of Dark City cursing soon wanted to fight. There were hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Dark City, who knew if there were top experts hidden among them?

Len, with a cigarette in his mouth, looked at Chloe and smiled as if he were a child asking for candy.

Chloe looked at him expressionlessly, thinking why she naturally assumed he would act this way in the first place?
