Chapter 192: Chapter 190: Chain Reaction (Requesting Monthly Tickets)_1

Vic-Minister rubbed his temples: "Forget it, I’ll think of more ways and give them some more support - which ones do you think are more promising? We have limited resources now, and we can’t take care of everyone."

Abner Lane picked up the briefing again and circled three people after some consideration: "I have a better impression of these few. The areas they’re in charge of have either my subordinates or your students."

Adonis Dunn nodded and was about to speak when suddenly Abner Lane’s expression changed, and he took out a Communication Talisman.

A luminescent bubble emerged from the Talisman, gradually expanding. Adonis Dunn and Abner Lane both saw a document inside.

The bubble burst, and the document arrived in Abner Lane’s hand. He said doubtfully, "It’s from Orson Everett, and he seems quite excited, asking me to read it immediately."

A heroic figure surfaced in Adonis Dunn’s mind, and he laughed, "It’s him, this kid is full of energy, let’s take a look first then."

Abner Lane quickly scanned the document, his face showing some confusion. Adonis Dunn waited patiently, taking a sip from his teacup.

Abner Lane suddenly said, "Sir, we’ve broken the deadlock!"

Adonis Dunn almost spat out the tea in his mouth, hastily putting down the teacup and asking, "What? Breaking the deadlock, where?"

Abner Lane handed over the document: "Sir, please have a look."

Adonis Dunn eagerly read the document quickly, then read it again carefully in case he had missed anything.

"This... Owen Bertram... I remember this name, he’s one of the people I personally appointed." Adonis Dunn was very pleased, thinking his discernment was quite good.

Abner Lane was also in high spirits, not making fun of the Boss for losing his composure, complimenting him, "Sir indeed has the eye to recognize talents!"

It had indeed been too difficult lately!

In the current Imperial Court, trying to do practical things for the common people was like making more than eighty percent of bureaucrats their enemies. These people’s impediments came one after another, like an invisible web that tightened around them the more they struggled and resisted!

Even Adonis Dunn and Abner Lane felt a sense of powerlessness akin to drowning.

But this document was like a bolt of lightning that tore through the dark night sky!

Adonis Dunn was overjoyed, picking up the document to read it once more, "The kid has clear thinking and is a good hand in handling cases! But..."

After the initial surprise, the two experienced high-ranking officials quickly discovered some issues.

"He didn’t use any of the three bronze-badge-arresting officers who were assigned to him."

"Although he detailed the case, he glossed over the process of solving it."

"He used his own men and didn’t want Guardian Hall to know he had such a group of people."

The two exchanged words, then both fell silent. Abner Lane couldn’t help saying, "He has no confidence in our Guardian Hall and is holding back!"

Adonis Dunn gently shook his head and sighed, "He has no confidence in this world."

Abner Lane was stunned, and Adonis Dunn waved his hand forcefully, declaring, "No matter what his confidence is, we absolutely must not let this talent slip away!"

"Since he has no confidence in our Guardian Hall, we’ll reward him through the Horizon Bureau!"

"You handle this matter personally!"

Having such a talent, they must hold onto him tightly. Abner Lane nodded, "Alright."

...

Prince Henry, with his thin and unfortunate-looking face, looked terribly gloomy. Even after scolding the Broken-Star Sect’s Sect Master furiously and receiving their assurance to mobilize the entire sect to catch the attackers, he still didn’t feel any better.

"These useless people!" Prince Henry complained to his trusted confidante Mr. Nicholas: "The motley crew they recruit are utterly useless and a waste of our resources!"

Our family may be wealthy, but it was accumulated through generations of taxing our fiefdom! Taxing isn’t easy, is it? Since childhood, I have witnessed my father’s agonizing efforts to find ways to increase taxes and levies, and his sleepless nights racked his brain and turned his hair white!

A large batch of treasure materials had just been handed over to Bat Taoist when it was stolen. The Broken-Star Sect rushed to the rescue but didn’t even see a shadow of the culprit - how wonderful!

Mr. Nicholas consoled him, "Your Highness, don’t worry. The Broken-Star Sect has deep roots near Wind and Rain Mountain and is certain to recover the materials."

"As for the people recruited from outside, firstly, it’s because we’re eager for talents. If we want to achieve great things, we must unite all forces that can be united.

Secondly... it’s a smokescreen for the court to conceal our true strength.

Although it’s somewhat wasteful, it’s always cost-effective in the end."

Prince Henry sighed and waved his hand, "Fine, other than this incident, the Broken-Star Sect has generally been reliable, otherwise, I wouldn’t have placed Bat Taoist there."

Prince Henry considered the matter and felt the Broken-Star Sect was, after all, dependable. So he became more expectant about the recovery of the precious treasure materials.

Just as he was about to discuss further matters with Mr. Nicholas, the Sect Master’s Communication Talisman suddenly lit up again.

Mr. Nicholas laughed, pointing to the talisman, "Your Highness, this must be the Broken-Star Sect having found the thief’s track and reporting the good news."

A smile finally emerged on Prince Henry’s gloomy face. As he gently activated the Communication Talisman, he heard a violent coughing sound from Sect Master on the other side, as if he was seriously injured!

Someone on the other side anxiously asked, "Sect Master, how are you?"

Prince Henry and Mr. Nicholas looked at each other, showing contempt: This kind of play for sympathy was too shallow.

"Your Highness-" Sect Master wailed, "Your Highness must uphold justice for my Broken-Star Sect. Our ancestral foundation... is all ruined in my hands..."

Prince Henry and Mr. Nicholas were both stunned.

Mr. Nicholas hurriedly asked, "What on earth has happened?"

On the other side, the Sect Master explained the situation in full detail. Prince Henry’s anger was visibly soaring, and Mr. Nicholas shrank back his neck, hoping not to be implicated by Sect Master at this time.

Prince Henry’s face turned livid with anger, gritting his teeth, "Useless trash, what’s the point of having you?" After saying that, he picked up the inkstone beside him and smashed the Communication Talisman to pieces.

There was dead silence in the room, only the sound of Prince Henry’s heavy breathing.

After an unknown amount of time, Prince Henry finally managed to control his rage and said, "Mr. Nicholas."

Mr. Nicholas quickly replied, "Your humble student is here."

"Something’s not right with this incident." A sinister gleam flickered in Prince Henry’s eyes: "There have been continuous accidents in the fiefdom lately, big and small."

Mr. Nicholas’s thoughts raced, "Is Your Highness implying... that the Imperial Court is taking action?"

"At first, I thought it was some blind-eyed people who had their eyes on our wealth. Because their methods are more like those of the martial arts world and not the Imperial Court."

"Moreover, our insiders in the court haven’t sent any warnings."

"But now that there’s someone with the power to cause havoc at Broken-Star Sect’s gate, this is no ordinary rogue cultivator."

Mr. Nicholas nodded, "Now that Your Highness mentions it, I can’t help but recall that recently Adonis Dunn and Abner Lane were vigorously promoting the establishment of Guardian Hall by the Imperial Court."

Prince Henry looked puzzled, "Do you mean the people of the Guardian Hall did it?"
