Chapter 618: Chapter 398: Leaving the Capital_3

Nick Liam would definitely not come up with an excuse like "feeling unwell;" most likely, he would simply refuse outright.

Owen Bertram handed over a Jade Talisman: "Please give this to Master Liam, and I will wait here."

In the Jade Talisman, the scene of him beating Wayne Malvin in the Insect Arena was sealed. As expected, after about a quarter of an hour, the door opened, and someone said, "Master Owen, please follow me."

Nick Liam was lying lazily on a couch, placed under a begonia tree in the courtyard. The scene of Wayne Malvin being beaten and fled repeatedly played out in shadows.

After the servant left, Nick Liam lazily sat up, a little resentful, "That coward Abner Lane doesn’t dare to see me and sent you as a mediator instead?"

Owen Bertram deliberately feigned stupidity: "Mediator? What mediator? I have come to you for a favor, and I don’t dare get involved in the matter between you and Master Lane."

Nick Liam’s voice became sharp: "What matter between him and me? How could there be any matter!"

Owen Bertram begged: "No matter, there is no problem, alright? Anyway, it’s up to you guys how you talk about it."

Nick Liam snorted and said reluctantly, "Well, speak, what do you want from me?"

Owen Bertram said, "The South Prison Town Comforting Office has been too busy lately, and your men are just idling around. How about doing me a favor?" Owen Bertram said a bunch of things, and Nick Liam looked at him: "You’ve got a lot of nerve, this could be an issue of international relations, can you handle it?"

"Pah!" Owen Bertram scoffed, "A mere Sang Island is nothing but a bullshit international issue! In the past, our Wood Dynasty ancestors didn’t take Sang Island seriously, so they only took their national treasure and just let them go. In my opinion, our dynasty should have taken advantage of its strong military and directly annexed Sang Island..."

He smirked slyly, "Besides, His Majesty’s Flying Carriage Palaces haven’t been completed yet, so I’ll be fine."

Nick Liam nodded, "You’ve got His Majesty’s temperament figured out very clearly."

Owen Bertram didn’t bother commenting on that absurd emperor, "Just say whether you are willing to help or not. The group of ghosts from Sang Island came to our Great Wood Dynasty and stirred up trouble. Should we just let them go back home safe and sound?"

Nick Liam considered for a moment, waved his hand, and said, "In the courtyard outside, one of my officers has the title of Revered Lord, and he will follow your commands."

"Thank you, Master!"

...

That night, the recently popular Master Owen led the North Prison Town’s military officers to hunt down a demon that had infiltrated the capital. The demon seemed to have a clear target, heading straight for the residence of the Sangdao Delegation, and then vanished without a trace.

Master Owen was furious and sternly demanded the Sangdao Delegation to hand over the demon. Surprisingly, the delegation dared to stand against him, and were annihilated by the newly promoted Sixth Great Realm in one stroke, from the head envoy Kawashima Yosuke, down to the lowest ranked servant...

Soon after, the military officers from the North Prison Town found a large amount of "ironclad evidence" linking the Sangdao Delegation with the Demon Clan and their intentions to harm the Wood Dynasty.

As for the escaped demon, it was also captured and testified against the Sangdao Delegation. With both testimonies and solid evidence gathered, the case could be closed.

The Imperial Court was furious and sent a letter of condemnation to the Sang Island, demanding an explanation.

As for the question of why Master Owen, who was originally from the South Prison Town, led the military officers of the North Prison Town in solving the case; how a small Tier-4 demon managed to break through the heavily guarded capital; and how it calmly escaped into the Sangdao Delegation residence under the pursuit of the newly promoted Sixth Great Realm... these were just details that didn’t need to be scrutinized too much. After all, the Sangdao people wouldn’t know about these things anyway.

Owen Bertram wiped out Kawashima Yosuke with a single sword, and finally vented the suffocated anger in his chest, feeling completely relieved—most importantly, neither Adonis Dunn nor Abner Lane had any reason to keep him in the capital any longer.

He had already secretly detained the souls of Kawashima Yosuke and his group and handed them over to Abner Lane for interrogation.

The only problem now was Alva Lake.

The Eternity Garden where Alva Lake is located was a summer retreat built by the ninth emperor of the Wood Dynasty in the mountains north of the Capital City. Subsequent emperors loved this place and kept expanding it. Now, the Eternity Garden is the largest imperial garden, but the current emperor hasn’t been there for ten years. From time to time, however, the Empress would stay there for a short while.

The current Emperor had a strong habit of favoring new things over old, and since his ascension to the throne, he had built six new gardens, each far inferior to Eternity Garden, but he still favored the new.

So, the position of Eternity Garden is now awkward, neither too guarded nor too unguarded.

Three days after the case of the Sangdao Delegation, it would be the day for Owen Bertram to leave the capital. He had already said goodbye to Adonis Dunn, Abner Lane, and Nick Liam in advance.

Adonis Dunn and Abner Lane were still busy with official duties. The merger of the Horizon Bureau had encountered obstacles after all, and Commander Louis of East Prison Town’s Fu Marshal’s Office somehow gained the support of the current emperors’ chief mentor, competing with Abner Lane for the position of chief commander!

But Master Owen had no time to worry about these things. He had already helped Master Lane to solve the problem of one Central Prison and had done more than enough.

Master Owen set up a caravan, disguised Donald Lee and others, and mixed them into the caravan, making a grand exit from the city. Before they even reached the city gate, they saw several people waving at him excitedly, "Master Owen, here we are!"
