Chapter 484: Chapter 360: The Value of Hua Hong

While Chief Examiner Evans Graham frantically contacted the Imperial Court for support, he also had to do something to avoid appearing incompetent and lazy. He yelled loudly, "Bring forth the person who came out to be questioned!"

Owen Bertram was summoned, and Evans, in a particularly bad mood, inevitably took a nasty tone: "Out of thirty thousand people, why are you the only one to come out?"

Owen was somewhat puzzled: "Are you interrogating me, sir?"

Evans became more impatient and snarled: "You must explain yourself! Why are you the only one to come out of the Short-lived Valley?"

Ridden with anxiety, Sir Graham almost spilled his thoughts: since everyone bought the test answers and had the Capital safe route map, why is it that only you came out? What happened to the rest of them?

Owen stood with his hands behind his back, scoffing coldly: "Did you forget, sir, this is the Dragon and Snake List? It’s a competition in which we strive to rank ourselves. The fact that I came out while the others did not simply means I’m the strongest!"

The others around didn’t know how to respond either, as the Chief Examiner’s questioning was indeed problematic. The participants entered Short-lived Valley to compete in the Dragon and Snake List, a relationship of rivalry. How can someone who exits be held responsible for those who have not?

Owen quickly added, "If something happened to those inside the valley, then that would be due to your incompetence and poor organization as the chief examiner!"

Evans slammed his fist on the table, fuming, "How dare you! Am I the chief examiner or are you? I will dismiss you right now, and your name will not appear on the Dragon and Snake List!"

The first round of the three-stage exam had just begun, so Owen has no reason to upset Evans and risk being unfairly treated in the remaining two rounds.

But Owen wasn’t happy! Besides, his goal of participating in the Dragon and Snake List was not to be on the list but to complete a transaction with Nick Liam.

Upon hearing Evans threatening words, Owen stood there, grinning coldly, without showing any signs of fear. An assistant standing behind Evans tugged at his sleeve and whispered: "Boss, this man is the executive director of the Horizon Bureau’s Minjiang Metropolitan Office, one of Abner Lane and Adonis Dunn’s men."

Evans suddenly remembered, and it dawned on him why the name sounded familiar. Recently, some people at the Imperial Court argued over the establishment of a new Summit Metropolitan Office in Southern Prison, and it turned out to be him!

Evans’s face turned awful, feeling like all the bad things happened at once. His house was robbed, the Dragon and Snake List was going awry, he wanted to find someone to let out steam, yet he was kicking an iron plate!

There was no way he could dismiss this man; Evans would be in the wrong. If things escalated, Adonis Dunn and Abner Lane were bound to make his life miserable, and even His Majesty couldn’t protect him.

Unable to save face, Evans angrily stormed away, looking slightly as if he’d been forced to flee.

As he walked away, Ferdinand and Ken, who had been enjoying the show from their Flying Carriages, landed and urgently asked Owen what had happened.

On the brink of spitting blood again, Evans thought: two Sixth Great Realm Guardians?!

If things escalated, not only would Adonis Dunn and Abner Lane demand his dismissal, but his misery would be far from over, as these two Sixth Great Realm Guardians would likely hunt him down!

Fortunately, at that moment, the Sixth Great Realm reinforcements from the Imperial Court finally arrived—none other than the anxious and loving father Colby Dominic.

As he flew from the direction of the Capital, he was already hastily asking in midair, "What’s going on?"

"Sir Dominic..." Evans gave a mournful cry, relieved to have someone he could lean on. He quickly explained what happened and began provoking: "Only Owen Bertram managed to get out!"

Colby Dominic’s eyes shifted as he said, "Now is not the time to pursue these things; let’s save the others first!" Evans secretly rejoiced; once they saved everyone, it would be time!

What’s more, Sir Dominic even used the word "pursue" which spoke volumes.

From afar, Owen saw Sir Dominic giving him a cold glance. Upon noticing a pause on Ken, Owen quickly guessed, "This is Wayne Malvin’s father, Colby Dominic?"

Ferdinand nodded, "Yes. Our Lioyd Sect has previously done business with the Central Prison, so we recognize Sir Dominic." He tried his best not to look at Ken as he spoke, lest he feel embarrassed.

Naturally, Ken was oblivious. The truth was, he didn’t know that his employer was Colby Dominic or even thought to consider who his employer might be. In the past few days, all of his energy had been devoted to the Variant Kingston Heterotext.

With his son on his mind, Colby Dominic stomped on the ground, leaping into the air and leaving a deep pit in the fractured ground below!

Evans eagerly awaited his assistance, even hoping deep down with malice: it would be best if Dominic took care of Owen Bertram. Both are from the Horizon Bureau, so it shouldn’t involve him.

However, everyone on the ground had been waiting with anticipation for a quarter of an hour, only to see Colby Dominic circling around the valley both clockwise and counterclockwise without making a move to save anyone.

Ferdinand whispered in Owen’s ear, "The peculiar changes in the valley are difficult to break through; I observed them secretly from above earlier."

Owen nodded quietly, agreeing that Short-lived Valley was more than it appeared. After all, it was a rare Unique Cultivator. While it might not be highly ranked in terms of cultivation, the power it could wield was not to be underestimated!
