Chapter 398: Chapter 338: Dream of Hegemony Shattered _1

Owen Bertram looked around the vast mountains and slowly said, "The money is too little, it’s not worth specially planning for."

The crowd’s laughter stopped abruptly, and they all looked at Owen Bertram, with some showing sarcasm on their faces. Owen Bertram had "better luck" in collecting herbs than the others, and many were already envious. Now he was saying this, which made many people think that he was just unhappy with the excessive amount of confiscation. As they were about to tease him, Nolan Gordon’s face suddenly changed: "Who’s there?!"

In the woods beside them, a group of cultivators appeared quietly, walking out from the bushes. The leader was a Fifth Great Domain cultivator, followed by Fourth Great Realm cultivators!

The collective strength of this team was enough to annihilate their herb-gathering team.

Immediately after, three more teams emerged from the other three directions, all led by Fifth Great Realm cultivators! However, seeing their clothing, Nolan Gordon was a bit relieved: "Horizon Bureau’s Hunting Team?"

He stepped forward and shouted with his hands up, "Everyone, don’t misunderstand, we have the permission of Horizon Bureau."

But the Hunting Teams ignored him, and the four leading Fifth Great Realm cultivators bowed towards the herb gatherers: "Greetings, my lord!"

All the members of the Hunting Teams followed and bowed in unison: "Greetings, my lord!"

The herb gatherers were stunned: What’s going on?

Nolan Gordon’s heart skipped a beat, feeling something bad was about to happen.

Owen Bertram walked out with his hands behind his back and nodded slightly to Enoch and the others, "No need for formalities, let’s get on with it."

The Hunting Team’s attitude changed instantly, and various magical instruments soared into the air. Enoch dropped a Great Formation with a wave of his hand, trapping the herb gatherers inside, then shouted sternly, "This is the Horizon Bureau’s mission, surrender or die!"

The herb gatherers were in uproar. Nolan Gordon stood in front of everyone with his arms wide open, staring intently at Owen Bertram: "Who are you, really?"

Owen Bertram raised his chin slightly: "I am the Summit Commanding Officer, Owen Bertram."

The herb gatherers were astonished. Working in the Copper Gorge Extinction Domain, they naturally knew who Owen Bertram was! They never expected that the "lucky novice" amongst them would be such an important figure!

To them, Owen Bertram was indeed an important person who could determine their fate.

Cold sweat broke out on Nolan Gordon’s forehead, knowing that all his plans had most likely fallen into the eyes of the Horizon Bureau bigwig!

Daoist Dwayne quickly made up his mind and suddenly charged out, shouting, "The Horizon Bureau is persecuting herb gatherers, let’s fight them!"

Entering the Horizon Bureau’s prison, the three of them would undoubtedly die. Their only chance now was to incite everyone to rebel and flee during the chaos.

Enoch’s eyes widened in anger: "Impudent!"

He pointed out two talismans and a golden talisman flew out, fluttering and transforming into a huge golden pillar raging towards Daoist Dwayne. The pillar shattered Daoist Dwayne’s defensive magical instrument and slammed heavily into his chest. Daoist Dwayne spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, unable to move under the pressure of the talisman.

Enoch waved his hand: "Arrest them all!"

The Hunting Team rushed forward, easily subduing all the herb gatherers with their superior cultivation and numbers, not allowing anyone to get away.

Foster Michael was held hostage by Enoch, staring at Owen Bertram in disbelief, but unable to say a word: the newcomer he casually pulled into the team had such a huge background!

Only Nolan Gordon still stood in place. Owen Bertram looked at him and said, "The demon beings have ulterior motives. You’re already possessed, and sooner or later you’ll go mad— I’m saving you."

Nolan Gordon clenched his teeth, weighing his options. Owen Bertram saw the red light flashing in his eyes, and the slightly visible scales on his neck!

Owen Bertram shook his head secretly. If Nolan Gordon chose to fight, he would most likely become possessed right then and there.

"Fine..." Nolan Gordon sighed, loosening his fists and dissipating the red light in his eyes, "I only ask that the innocent are not harmed!"

Owen Bertram nodded, "You’re not beyond redemption." He waved to his subordinates: "Tie him up."

The key to this operation was a lightning-fast strike. Not a single person could be allowed to escape. If someone got away and leaked the news, the people that Nolan Gordon had previously gathered would likely start to make trouble— Owen Bertram knew they weren’t a threat for now, but it would affect his subsequent plans and quickly become a rumor: the Summit Metropolitan Office deceives herb gatherers!

After that, no one would dare to come for the sold quotas for herb gathering.

Enoch personally stepped forward and shackled Nolan Gordon with the Horizon Bureau’s fetters. Considering what Owen Bertram had mentioned about him possibly becoming possessed, he also applied two talismans for extra security.

The cultivators of the Hunting Team had long figured out that their best option for the future was to have a position in the Horizon Bureau. Even after the mission to eradicate the demon beings finished, they would still bear the deep imprint of the Horizon Bureau, with nowhere else to go.

Enoch had decided to follow Owen Bertram. Master Megan and Everley had their own sects to fall back on, but Enoch had no other choice.

So, Enoch tried his best to perform well in front of Owen Bertram.

Although they had captured these herb gatherers, Owen Bertram did not think they were all "subversives". Aside from Nolan Gordon and the other two, most of the others probably didn’t know what Nolan Gordon really wanted to do.
