Chapter 178: Chapter 176: Is a Hammer (Seeking Monthly Ticket)_1

Maxwell didn’t yield at all: "Matthew, look at all the havoc you’ve caused. For such a long time, you couldn’t even repair your own station. How did you become this Lord Prescott?"

Matthew raged, "That’s because I am considerate of the people’s strength, and do not oppress and exploit them like you do. The pace of the project is naturally slower. What right do you have to interfere with my affairs as Lord Prescott? This is Quinn Base, under my jurisdiction!"

Maxwell snorted with a cold laugh, "This time, I have come to deliver goods. But seeing your state, I’m afraid I just can’t give you these goods this time. I will report to the Commander Lord and conduct a thorough investigation into your Quinn base Prescott Group!"

With a wave of his hand, he actually led his men away, guarding the convoy.

"Let’s station in Jaafar County first!"

Matthew was fuming, grinding his teeth and saying, "Utterly arrogant, utterly arrogant!"

...

After Owen Bertram returned, Ethereal Devin told him that Maxwell had come. Since this troublemaker had come, he would naturally take care of it swiftly. Compared to the Henry case, this honestly wasn’t a big deal.

Originally, his plan was to let York Gordon bring Maxwell here, kill him, and then control his soul with the Three Divided Spirit Skill. After all, Maxwell was a Prescott of the Horizon Bureau and surely had some investigative capabilities.

But now that Nathan Lane was here, Maxwell was of no value.

Owen returned to his room and checked the Heavenly Eye near Quinn Base, where he saw Maxwell leading his men, escorting the convoy towards the County Town.

Owen took out a Communication Talisman: "How is the task I assigned to you going?"

A voice from Jim immediately came from the talisman, "I am already in Jaafar County, everything is arranged according to Sir’s instructions."

Owen nodded, "Take action immediately, and rendezvous with me on the road."

"Yes, sir."

...

Maxwell led his men, escorting the convoy, marching down the mountain road without any caution.

The convoy was filled with ordinary materials. The really precious items were all in Maxwell’s Storage Brocade Pouch.

One of his subordinates couldn’t help but ask, "Sir, is this...appropriate?" Maxwell gave him a fierce glare, "Are you scared?"

"I’m just worried for you. You are about to be promoted to revered Lord. If anything unexpected happens..."

Maxwell sneered coldly and proudly announced, "The Commander implies favor towards me. What else is there to worry about? If York Gordon and his group refuses to step aside, we can use this opportunity to oppress them and establish my authority as the new Revered Lord!"

"Besides, of the materials being transported this time, it is clearly stated that more than half of them are for the Summit Guard Post—yet the chief officer of the Summit Guard Post, Owen Bertram, didn’t come. Where do I put my dignity as Prescott?"

His men understood. Truthfully, it was because Owen Bertram didn’t show up, and thereby Prescott had no chance to gain more benefits.

In order to make money—this reason was acceptable to the Military officers, but everyone was feeling concerned nevertheless. At this moment, was it wise to directly confront York Gordon, the Revered Lord? Without the commander’s support, wouldn’t he just become a kite in the wind?

The officers dared not say more. The relatively small group suddenly stopped on the mountain road.

Maxwell looked up to see a man standing in front of the narrow mountain path, dressed in the uniform of the Horizon Bureau General.

Maxwell snorted coldly and shouted, "Who is it that dares to block the path of Prescott?"

Owen asked: "Maxwell?"

"Audacious!" Maxwell roared, "A mere general dares to call Prescott by his name!"

Owen scornfully twitched his mouth without wanting to bother with him. He lifted his hand, a gourd appeared in his palm, quickly enlarging, "Maxwell, your betrayal of the Horizon Bureau’s secret records to the Mountain Master of Sword Mountain was exposed!"

Maxwell was shocked, he had never expected that such words would come out of his mouth! He had done this very surreptitiously, obviously, because it was a capital crime!

There is no way he would spread it, and supposedly, the Mountain Master wouldn’t either— if the news spread, he too would end up on a dead-end road, being sought after and eventually punished by the Horizon Bureau everywhere under heaven.

How was it leaked in the end?

Before Maxwell could figure it out, he saw a little gourd in the man’s hand, suddenly flying out, smashing hard towards his head.

The gourd quickly grew larger during the process. Maxwell’s subordinates cursed in the back, "Slanderer!"

"Protect the lord!"

More than a dozen Military officers each had their own cultivation; some had cultivated their physical strength, raising huge shields to block the attack, some had cultivated magical tools, using treasured items to attack the gourd.

However, once these officers contacted the gourd, there was an immediate outcry. Various magical tools broke and flew out.

Some felt an electric current come from the gourd, their bodies shaking and foaming at the mouth; some felt a scorching flame burning in their veins, a mouthful of blood spurted out, but it evaporated directly in the air; some felt the power of the gourd, like the tide, one wave after another, they took a step back, then another, and had to keep retreating, finally falling to the ground on their bottom...

This was the random explosive power of the Gourd Elder, the power of the magical artifacts inside his belly.

A dozen officers were defeated in the first encounter by the Gourd Elder, and then the gourd continued to expand to the size of a three-story building and fell straight onto Maxwell’s head.

Maxwell had originally thought that with him being in the Third Great Boundary, his cultivation within Waves Prefecture would allow him to go where he pleased. As long as he avoided super-powerful beings such as the Commander Lord and the Mountain Master, he could do whatever he wanted. Yet reality gave him a shocking realization!

Maxwell released three magical instruments in succession. However, the gourd grew three times larger each time, crushing one of his magical instruments each time. After three times, the gourd grew twice as large again. It fell on Maxwell’s head like a small hill in a thunderous crash.

With the roaring gourd crashing down on him, Maxwell yelled as he used all his strength to lift his hands to stop the gourd, trying to mimic the heroic spirit of lifting a tripod!

However, he couldn’t stand against it even for a blink of an eye. With a thunderous crash, the gourd fell down and smashed Maxwell into a pulp at the scene!

Owen secretly looked on, a soul fluttered and dangled around and then went into the Ghost Zone.

"Sir!" The officers cried out in pain. They were filled with rage seeing their chief officer being killed and were about to rush up to fight Owen to the death. Suddenly, a stern yell came, "Scoundrels! I’ll see who dares to make a move? Internal Canon is handling affairs!"

Jim, with his men, rushed over in a hurry. Since it was inappropriate to pay respect to the sir in public, they decided to show their loyalty by venting their anger on those who were disrespectful to the sir. They took out the iron ruler from their waist and smacked those officers on their heads.

The officers ended up with their faces swollen and then, with a kick behind their knees, were made to kneel on the ground.

"The case against Maxwell is absolutely ironclad!"

"Our Horizon Bureau loathes traitors who betray their own kind the most! Do you all want to go down the same dark path together?"

"Commander Bertram eliminated a traitor for our Horizon Bureau, he should be considered a great contributor. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t even know we were being sold out by the traitor, Maxwell!"

The officers under Maxwell’s command were confused. "Did Prescott... really betray us?"

"Of course he did, the evidence is all in the hands of Commander Bertram!" Jim exclaimed angrily.
