Chapter 246: Chapter 246: A Huge and Intricate Subterranean Palace was Constructed Beneath Squire Manor

The Squire Family has a warlord’s armed force, and the only one who can suppress them is someone from the military. The only person Delphine can think of is Major General Richard Shaw from the Shaw Family, who has been staying in the South Ocean and has a deep connection with Ignatius Leclair these days.

Griffith Squire’s face turned dark with uncertainty as he asked, "Major General Richard Shaw from the Shaw Family? Isn’t he always in the Imperial City?"

Few people knew about Richard Shaw’s arrival in the South Ocean. Hearing this, Griffith Squire was struck as if by lightning, silently gesturing to his confidant behind him.

Delphine nodded and said, "He came to the South Ocean a few days ago and hasn’t left. However, Richard Shaw is a gentleman and certainly won’t make things difficult for Leah."

Delphine inexplicably trusted the man in the wheelchair holding Buddha Beads. A person with unattainable desires is bound to have higher moral standards than ordinary people.

A hint of bloodlust flashed in Griffith Squire’s eyes as he struggled to control his trembling fingers, almost feeling the world go black before his eyes. Richard Shaw had come to the South Ocean, and he had not received any prior notice.

The confidant behind him quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Boss, we can’t get in touch."

Something must have happened on the side of the Squire Manor.

Ignatius Leclair’s thin lips curved slightly as he looked at the time and said indifferently, "Mr. Squire, shall we continue the previous topic?"

"When did Richard Shaw go there?" Griffith Squire’s face was repressive, tinged with madness as he looked at the man’s cold expression, suppressing his anger. "Ignatius Leclair, Leah is physically weak and cannot be frightened. You make the Shaw Family leave, and I will tell you about my origins."

Ignatius Leclair’s handsome eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his phoenix eyes narrowed. Was Griffith Squire so afraid of Richard Shaw? The origins of the Squire Family must be intricate.

Seeing Griffith Squire’s unsightly expression, Delphine inexplicably sensed an ominous premonition. Could something really happen here?

No contact could be made with the people at Squire Manor. Delphine recalled the contact information Richard Shaw had given her before, and without hesitation, she dialed it.

Inside Squire Manor.

Leah woke up early. Ever since her treatment in Switzerland, her mind had been in turmoil, as if something was trying to emerge from her head. She often had dreams at night, but upon waking, she could not remember what she had dreamed of, only that her pillow was wet, clearly all from nightmares.

After sending off Griffith Squire in the morning, she couldn’t sleep, so she had the servants bring two ragdoll cats to the courtyard to watch them play.

She lay on the reclining chair, covered with a thick wool blanket, dozing off in the sun. Suddenly, she woke up with a start, finding that the sun was gone and the sky had turned overcast. For some reason, the two cats huddled at her feet.

A palpable silence enveloped the manor.

"Miss, there’s an intruder." The confidant rushed into the courtyard, his expression grave, and quickly said, "We must escort Miss into the Subterranean Palace to take shelter."

Leah’s face slightly changed, but her cold and delicate face quickly regained calm. She said, "First, check if the wireless communications are being jammed, and try to contact my brother to prevent him from being manipulated."

"The wireless communications are jammed. We’ve tried various methods; there seems to be a magnetic interference from the Akina Mountains, and we can’t get through."

Leah nodded and quickly said, "Enter the Subterranean Palace."

Before deliberately moving into the South Ocean, Griffith Squire spent two years organizing a plethora of information on the South Ocean. After buying the area near Squire Manor, he spent another year constructing it.

Those living on the run are always vigilant. It took a year to build Squire Manor precisely because a vast and sophisticated Subterranean Palace was constructed beneath it, using the most advanced European scientific technologies. It’s as solid as a city within a city.
