Chapter 725: Chapter 426: Involving Family Members_3

Besides Windstorm and his close followers, more than half of the military officers guarding him here were guilty of heinous crimes and couldn’t escape "judgment." Only a small portion were fearful and granted the opportunity to atone for their sins by performing meritorious services.

Owen Bertram waved his sleeve to dispel his domain and drifted away, leaving a word for Leroy Baker: "Deal with the aftermath."

"Yes!"

After Leroy Baker handled the matter in the brothel and returned to the revered Lord’s residence with Felix, Lord Bertram called both of them over: "The heavy charges against Windstorm must involve the family."

Felix said nothing and accepted the order, while Leroy Baker knew that his Lord was not the kind who would implicate the families; was it to... the mere thought of it excited Leroy Baker!

...

News of Windstorm’s death quickly spread to all the Prescott houses under his rule, along with Lord Bertram’s orders. Several Prescott Groups rushed to Ville City overnight!

The subsequent revered Lords encountered much less resistance.

These revered Lords, like Lord Bertram, were waiting for the Ronald Clan’s "response." The difference was that they were waiting for the Ronald Clan and Lord Bertram to "fight a lawsuit" in the Imperial Court. After all, Owen Bertram killed a revered Lord without any substantial evidence!

What Lord Bertram was waiting for was a counterattack from the Ronald Clan in the Sixth Great Realm.

Lord Bertram was not worried about lawsuits in the Imperial Court. The Ronald Clan had an Imperial Consort, but Owen Bertram also had Abner Lane. Moreover, Lord Bertram had another trick up his sleeve: if it really escalated, he would ask Lioyd Sect to send the Flying Carriage Palaces already forged to the capital and see who the Emperor would support at the time.

However, both parties were somewhat disappointed, as the Ronald Clan remained inactive.

Meanwhile, Lin Ronald and Omar Ronald had vanished. This even led Owen Bertram to suspect, at one point, that the Ronald Clan wanted to play the "stealing home" move and go to cause trouble in his Summit Metropolitan Office – Verna was still at Looking Cloud Cliff!

There was only Ken left in the Summit Metropolitan Office... and he was a weak Sixth Realm.

Owen Bertram immediately contacted the King of Souls, asking him to keep an eye on it, and the King agreed without hesitation. However, several days passed, and there was still no movement from the Summit Metropolitan Office, making Owen Bertram even more confused: Was the Ronald Clan really going to let him take over the entire East Prison Town Comfort Office?

Now, Lord Bertram had taken over fifteen revered Lord houses, accounting for 30% of East Prison Town Comfort Office! In this process, Master Lane’s another order was loyally carried out by him: confiscate them.

Fifteen revered Lord houses, all of the confiscated properties from those who were found guilty and irredeemable in the "judgments," amounted to about 1.5 billion Spirit Jade.

Among them, there were many estates, land, and shops that were not easy to cash out.

Master Lane was right. He had underestimated the greed of these fellows. When the entire East Prison Town Comfort Office was confiscated, even without the Ronald Clan, he would still make a "sure profit."

With this additional income, Lord Bertram planned to keep it a secret, guarding not against others but his own "inside thieves." If Master Dunn and Lane knew that he had earned so much, they would inevitably try to squeeze out a part of it from his hands.

Lord Bertram took this money not for his own enjoyment. The Celestial Warships of the Summit Navy were extremely expensive, but they were bound to be the main force in future naval and air battles!

Unknowingly, they arrived at the sixteenth revered Lord’s house. Lord Bertram had a sense of "returning to a familiar place" because this was the house of the revered Lord of the Sharon Mansion in the previous Magic Wave outbreak.

Originally, this revered Lord house was completely destroyed during the Magic Wave, and the rebuilding work must have the permission and support of the Commander Lord of East Prison Town Comfort Office. However, in the absence of any indication from Owen Bertram, this revered Lord house was quietly rebuilt!

A Grandmaster used the Earth Travel Skill to quickly set up a fortress, and then personnel from various defensive positions in the East Prison Town Comfort Office were transferred to the Sharon Mansion revered Lord’s house, which was thus "reborn" with pomp and circumstance!

Except for the appointment of the new revered Lord, which had to be determined by the East Prison Town department, the entire Sharon Mansion revered Lord’s house was already well-equipped.

The Ronald Clan was behind all this silently, seemingly showing Lord Bertram their huge influence in the East Prison Town Comfort Office from top to bottom.

This was a highly insulting provocation. Lord Bertram couldn’t tolerate it!

Nowadays, the manager of the Sharon Mansion revered Lord’s house was a man named Jasper Michael, who didn’t have the last name Ronald at first glance. However, a close examination revealed that Jasper Michael was personally promoted by the Ronald Clan. He was one of the few Fifth Great Realm Prescotts in the Horizon Bureau, a secret advanced master trained by the Ronald Clan.

When Owen Bertram’s team arrived outside the Sharon Mansion, Greystone looked at the old place but didn’t feel much emotion. She had been very suffocated there. Whenever something unfair happened and she wanted to fight, various restraining forces would appear. However, it was much better now to be with Lord Bertram. No matter what enemy they faced, they would all be defeated and scattered.

Greystone had been thinking about finding someone to talk to the Lord about giving her the title of a revered Lord and then transferring all her old subordinates. At that time, her "revered Lord" title would be a genuine full-staffed revered Lord, far more prestigious than Catherine!

For a moment, Lord Bertram felt like going for an outing: "Let’s go into the city and have a look."

Order had been restored in the city, and there was even a hint of prosperity. Their low-key entrance did not disturb anyone, and Greystone went to inquire about the situation. As Lord Bertram expected, the officials were still the same people – the charges of fleeing the city before had not been pursued with the intervention of Goden Coin.
