Chapter 442: Chapter 349: Ancient Qi (Part 1)_1

Owen Bertram thought to himself that it was somewhat similar to the imperial examinations in history during his previous life. Otis King noticed that the master had made up his mind, so he didn’t want to stay anymore. As he walked out, he said, "I’ll go back first. The refining of those large-scale magical instruments can’t be done without me. If the master has any new ideas, please remember the hard work of our fellow elders and share them with us first."

Owen sent him off, and the old man hurried away with even more agility than a young man. Owen probably understood the mentality of these technical artificers: discussing new technologies was a matter of respecting Master Owen; inquiring about the Dragon and Snake List was a matter of neglecting one’s duty as Owen.

When Owen came back, he happened to see David returning gracefully and forcefully, laden with murderous energy. In front of him, he raised his fist powerfully and said, "Master, I have completed the task!"

Owen exchanged glances with him and understood some of it already, so he asked, "Did those two run into trouble?"

David gritted his teeth and said, "One of them disturbed the local Horizon Bureau. That Prescott actually chased me for three hundred miles with his men. I had no choice but to kill him and scatter his soul!"

Owen sneered coldly, "There must be some connections behind these people, each of them is a big case! You investigate first within our jurisdiction and don’t let go of any human traitors!"

Every one of Dandelion’s puppets could collude with others around them and use various means to provide convenience for themselves. And those who turn a blind eye to the benefits might not be unaware that there are problems with these puppets.

Owen hated these "traitors" who had defected to the demon beings and naturally wanted to thoroughly investigate them.

David agreed and expressed his concern, "The one I killed on the spot is connected to the Central Prison. I’m worried there might be some trouble."

Owen thought for a moment and said, "You are right to remind me. They might directly approach Master Lane. The Master is now tied up with military affairs, and we can’t cause him any trouble.

I’ll communicate with the Master in advance about this. If there’s any issue with the Central Prison, let them come at me!"

Then, Owen asked again, "Has Marlon from the Black-water County branch of Topeka Hall been caught?"

"He’s been caught." David said, "I know that the master is concerned, so I interrogated him on the way. Here’s the confession." Owen looked at it and found that, just as he had expected, one Marlon had implicated many people, some from inside Topeka Hall and some from outside.

Owen called Ethereal Devin, "Send the reply to the General government immediately, and speed it up with a talisman." Ethereal Devin agreed and then asked, "Master, do we need to notify the Black-water County branch?"

Owen sneered coldly, "There’s no need. Since David captured Marlon, Matt Cooper will soon come to me."

Marlon was the second person in charge of the back hall of the Black-water County branch. He was a well-known figure at the Black-water County branch, responsible for buying spiritual medicines from herb gatherers. The quality and price were all at his discretion.

He was pulled into the group by a puppet herb gatherer. At that time, he was just a little buddy in the back hall. He took the opportunity to enter Copper Gorge himself, defected to Dandelion, and soon made rapid progress to the position of second-in-command.

As expected, less than four hours after David’s return, Matt Cooper came to the Prescott Group at Looking Cloud Cliff in a rage. He was stopped at the gate by military officers, and Matt Cooper pointed at the city wall of Prescott Group and shouted, "Owen Bertram, don’t be ungrateful!"

Owen ignored him. In fact, after David’s return, Owen had read Marlon’s confession and immediately sent people out in secret to arrest the other relevant personnel involved in Marlon’s case.

David captured only puppets, relying on his formidable strength and speed and not letting go of a single traitor. However, he couldn’t look after the other relevant personnel, who were handled by other people.

Most of the suspects in Marlon’s case were in Black-water County. If Matt Cooper were still there, the smooth arrest would have been hindered by Matt Cooper. However, Owen calculated that Matt Cooper would come to him - Matt Cooper rushed to the Prescott Group at Looking Cloud Cliff, while the military officers capturing other suspects went to Black-water County.

Matt Cooper caused a commotion at the bottom of the Prescott Group but never saw Owen appear. He thought that Owen was afraid to see him, so he angrily went to a nearby market to stay temporarily and then filed another complaint at the Summit Metropolitan Office.

The next day, the people Owen sent to Black-water County easily arrested all the suspects and brought them back to Looking Cloud Cliff. Owen immediately ordered their interrogation.

Matt Cooper went to cause a ruckus outside the Prescott Group again in the early morning and then returned angrily to his residence in the market. At noon, he suddenly received a message from the Summit Command Office: Apologize in person, declare to the Summit Metropolitan Office that Topeka Hall will abide by the rules and cooperate fully with the investigation.

Also, hint to Master Owen that Topeka Hall will have something to say to him personally.

Matt Cooper was stunned. What happened?!

He knew that the Summit Metropolitan Office had used their connections last time to warn Owen through the Horizon Department. Why did they suddenly back down?

There must be something unknown to him happening in the meantime. But since the Summit Metropolitan Office had backed down, he, a small branch manager, had nowhere else to stand firm.

He hurried to the Prescott Group and, with a big change in attitude from his previous arrogance, bowed and apologized with a smile, giving many spirit jades to the military officers guarding the gate: "Please inform Master Owen that Matt Cooper has come to apologize."
