Chapter 616: Chapter 398: Leaving the Capital_1

A fierce and ferocious giant bird opened its wings and glided over the Sacrifice Platform, dropping a person wrapped like a rice dumpling heavily in front of Master Owen.

The Magpie circled in the air, folding its wings, and landed, shaking its sharp feathers as strong as a steel knife, trying to get intimate with Owen. It couldn’t be pushed away.

Can you imagine how discordant it would feel for such a huge creature to rub itself against a person the size of Owen Bertram like a small dog? If it wasn’t for Master Owen’s strength, the pet would have sent him flying in one push.

Little Ghost Gregory Ryan stuck his head out of his sister’s neck, "Sis has been missing you a lot lately, Master."

The Magpie seemed to suddenly remember something, grabbing a colorful venomous snake from among the feathers on its back! It had clearly just pecked it to death not long ago, the prey was still fresh.

The Magpie chirped loudly, and Owen understood it, "This is for little miss?"

The big-headed Magpie nodded repeatedly and conveyed in bird language: It’s especially delicious!

Being such a big bird, of course, its favorite food is long worms – offering its favorite prey as a gift to the little miss shows its dedication. Owen Bertram nodded in satisfaction, took the prey, and waved to the Magpie siblings, "I’m going back to the city first, you guys go play on your own."

Suddenly, the Magpie shrank its body like a pigeon, cooing and whining, but refused to leave.

Little Ghost Gregory Ryan said, "Master, when are we going back? It’s been too long since we’ve been apart..." The Magpie tilted its big head, and in its fierce eyes was a pitiful, innocent look.

Owen Bertram flew up and patted its big head, "It should be soon."

Having obtained Owen’s promise, the Magpie rejoiced and flew skyward, its bright bird call echoing in the Nine Heavens.

Owen Bertram looked down at Wayne Malvin at his feet – who had become completely numb. The appearance of the Magpie made him thoroughly understand one thing: he couldn’t beat Master Owen, not even Master Owen’s pet...

The problem was, the Magpie was extremely brutal in its temperament and had just tormented Wayne Malvin quite a bit.

Owen Bertram pinched a magic seal, stretched out a finger, and the Immortal Binding Rope shrank back with a hissing sound. Owen Bertram said, "You’ve heard what your father said too, follow me in peace and I will secure your future."

He thought for a moment and decided, out of courtesy for Colby Dominic, to say, "You held the position of revered Lord in the Central Prison, and now that you’re in the Summit Metropolitan Office, you’ll continue as a revered Lord."

According to the current structure of the Summit Metropolitan Office, Wayne should have been demoted to a lower rank called Prescott.

Wayne Malvin got up, dusted off his body, and silently followed behind Owen Bertram. Owen didn’t bother with him, thinking – you can’t figure it out? Go figure it out on your own!

After returning to the Capital, Owen Bertram went to visit Abner Lane first, but Master Lane was busy with official duties and not at home. Not bothering to search for him, Owen brought Wayne Malvin to his own residence, went to the backyard, and instructed Donald Lee and Glenn Mitchell, "Clean up, we’re preparing to leave the Capital."

He returned to his own room and wrote a memorial to the Emperor, stating that he would go to the Lioyd Sect and personally supervise the construction of the Flying Carriage Palaces for His Majesty.

However, there were still a few loose ends that needed to be handled. One was the Alva Lake, which was on his brother’s mind, and the other was the Sangdao Delegation. While they harbored ambitions, the death of Derek left no evidence to convict them. The Empire couldn’t hold them forever; they would have to release them sooner or later. Owen Bertram was uneasy at their release.

As he pondered how to deal with these two matters, a subordinate suddenly came in to report, "Master, there are two people with name cards requesting a meeting."

Owen Bertram took a look at the name cards and couldn’t help but laugh. One of them was Jim from the Internal Canon department, who was a hundred ranks below him. After the General government stopped managing matters, the Internal Canon was the only department that still held power.

Aside from various groups recognizing the need to maintain the department; the commanding Chieftain who controlled the Internal Canon was the experienced and respected Cultivator of the Sixth Great Realm, of the Six Merits.

However, the Internal Canon has always been a separate group, and even Harrison Ainsworth couldn’t command this Master.

The name on the second name card was somewhat unfamiliar: Byron Devin.

His position was the Deputy Manager of the Experience Department in the General government office. This was the General Government’s administrative department, without much real power on the surface. However, after the General Government delegated power, this department had become the only one besides the Internal Canon that could "pinch" the five major forces in the General Government.

After all, the Horizon Bureau was still a bureau in name, and appointments and dismissals of the Five Major Town Stabilizing Divisions had to go through the General Government. The department handling these was the Experience Department. They could find any excuse to hold up a smooth appointment, possibly delaying it by more than six months.

This powerful Master from the General Government suddenly came to visit him, likely feeling threatened by the recent massive changes in the Horizon Bureau. But he had never met the man before... Owen Bertram suddenly slapped his forehead, "This is Vanessa Thoughts of Shadow’s uncle!"

He’d known that the Devin Family had a strong "dependable backing" in the General government, but he’d never known who it was. After gaining a deeper understanding of the Horizon Bureau, he’d wondered how this backing had been able to protect the entire Devin family with no real power in the General government.

But Vanessa never divulged this information willingly, and Owen never asked.

Owen Bertram pondered and said, "Please let Byron Devin in first."
