Chapter 440: Chapter 348: Dragon and Snake List _3

It was none other than Matt Cooper, the manager of the Topeka Hall Black-water County branch.

What Owen Bertram had in mind was that particular Dandelion list, filled with murderous intent, he immediately glared at him and snapped, "Get out!"

Matt Cooper instantly felt an overwhelming aura, as if a mountain was pressing down on him, covering him. He instinctively lowered his head, his body breaking out into a cold sweat like rain, not daring to utter another word and obediently retreated to the side.

Owen Bertram said to David and the others, "Follow me."

Only after they had entered the Prescott Group did Matt Cooper finally catch his breath, his face still pale! Frustration surged in Matt Cooper’s heart. As the independent branch manager of Topeka Hall, when had he ever suffered such humiliation? In the past, dealing with various officials, even high-ranking members of the Imperial Court, everyone knew the profound background of Topeka Hall and showed him respect.

"This young man, who has achieved success at an early age, is naturally arrogant and reckless," he didn’t lose his reason, "I heard that he is highly valued by Adonis Dunn and Abner Lane. If he wants to make trouble for my Topeka Hall, he should prepare early and exert pressure through the Imperial Court."

"I should immediately contact the main branch and explain the pros and cons. It won’t be long before this young Commander of Summit realizes the immense influence of my Topeka Hall!"

...

After returning to his office, Owen Bertram immediately wrote out the entire list and handed it to David. A total of forty-seven people: "These are all puppets of Dandelion. You must arrange their capture personally, and I demand that not a single one is missed!"

David immediately understood why his superior was so indignant. After looking at the list, he said, "Sir, forty-five of them are within our jurisdiction. I will personally handle them myself and ensure that none of them escapes.

But there are two others who are elsewhere, which may be a bit troublesome to handle."

Owen Bertram said, "You secretly sneak in and capture them and then return. Don’t disturb the local government. If necessary, execute them on the spot! You needn’t worry, I’ll bear responsibility for anything that happens!"

"Yes, I understand, and I’ll get it done!" David immediately left after accepting the order. Nathan Lane then cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Sir, about the Topeka Hall incident..."

Owen Bertram said calmly, "That Adolph Benson locked in the dungeon is one of them from Topeka Hall!" Nathan Lane immediately understood.

Owen Bertram continued, "And on that list just now, there is also one person from Topeka Hall!"

"Ah?" Nathan Lane was also greatly surprised but immediately said angrily, "This time we must give Topeka Hall a hard lesson."

Owen Bertram let out a heavy sigh and shook his head lightly, "I’m afraid the matter won’t be that simple. The background of Topeka Hall is very deep!"

As expected, the next day Owen Bertram received an official document from the Horizon Department, accusing him of acting wantonly and oppressing the good and just. However, it only advised him to "introspect" and reflect on his actions, without mention of any specific punishment.

But currently, the power of the Horizon Bureau is concentrated in the hands of the Five Major Town Stabilizing Divisions. While the General government is nominally in charge of the Horizon Bureau, no one listens to their orders beyond the Capital.

Ethereal Devin was furious, venting his wrath for his superior, "How audacious can a mere business be? Is this trying to fight fire with fire?!" He stepped forward, fists clenched, begging for permission, "Sir, I volunteer to lead a team to the Black-water County branch to apprehend everyone from Topeka Hall."

Owen Bertram casually tossed the document aside, chuckled and said, "Obviously, this is a warning. Topeka Hall still thinks like businessmen and doesn’t want to tear our faces apart. If I can lay low, this matter will be over."

Ethereal Devin stared wide-eyed, "Does Sir want it to end here?"

"Of course not." Owen Bertram pointed at Ethereal Devin, "You draft a reply to the General government, explaining the relationship between Topeka Hall’s Black-water County branch staff and the Dandelion Demons. However, there’s no rush to send this reply. Wait until David returns."

Once the reply is sent, it will expose the Dandelion case, risking potential leaks. So, Owen Bertram decided to wait until David’s operation was over, not letting a single traitor of the Human Race escape.

"Me again?" Ethereal Devin pouted, thinking, Hasn’t my just now performance shown you that I am a loyal warrior and not a mere desk clerk?

"Any problem?" Sir Owen asked. Ethereal Devin, in the end, didn’t have enough courage and bowed his head to reality, "No problem."

Thus, they experienced two more peaceful days. Owen Bertram didn’t go after Matt Cooper, who thought that the "warning" from the main branch had worked and relaxed, sneering to himself: In front of me, he acts like a fierce demon, but once pressure from above is exerted, he immediately yields, truly a shallow character who only bullies the weak and fears the strong.

He didn’t wait at Looking Cloud Cliff any longer and left for Black-water County the next day with an air of swagger.

Taking advantage of the free time during these two days, Owen Bertram tried to learn more about the "Dragon and Snake List" issue. However, since David wasn’t there, and his own people weren’t familiar with the conflict in the Capital, Owen Bertram had to turn to the Artificers from the Military Equipment Department.

He invited Otis King, who arrived full of enthusiasm, thinking that Sir Owen had researched some new device. However, when he found out he was there to ask about the Dragon and Snake List, his enthusiasm faded.

Face-changing specialty of Sichuan opera: Changing faces.

Although disappointed, Otis King still earnestly explained to Sir Owen, "This old husband has heard about it. The history of the Dragon and Snake List can be traced back to a long time ago. About five or six hundred years ago, the Dragon and Snake List was held once every five years. But fifty years ago, there was a tragedy:
