Translator: 549690339
Thom Oak City.
Professional Alliance.
At the same time when the crack in Spring City opened, the cry for help was sent to Thorn Oak City.
The Rapid Response Team of Thorn Oak City’s Professional Alliance, upon receiving the distress signal from Spring City, immediately assembled an elite team to be dispatched to Spring City.
However, before the team could move, an order came from the newly appointed president of the Thorn Oak City Alliance branch office, which had recently been transferred. The order commanded the Rapid Response Team to temporarily suspend the action.
As soon as he heard the command, Liam Hawkins, the captain of the Rapid Response Team of Thorn Oak City, instantly blew up.
“Suspend the action?
A crack has opened, monsters are attacking the city, can we delay our response to such an event?
Even the investigation and accountability should come after the rescue!
Disregard the order, take action immediately!
Whatever happens, I’ll take responsibility!”
Afterward, the elite group of the Rapid Response Team, directly ignoring the orders of the branch president, sped towards Spring City.
Almost at the same time.
The movements of the Rapid Response Team were reported to the new president of Thorn Oak City.
-Mr. President, the Rapid Response Team has disregarded your order and has already set off to assist Spring City!”
It was Bruce Hodge, the new president of Thorn Oak City’s branch. He reacted calmly to the report from his subordinate, “This was expected.
The current captain of the Rapid Response Team, Liam Hawkins, was a man that Ennis Hawkins had nurtured with his own hands fifteen years ago. As a direct subordinate of Ennis Hawkins, it would be strange if he obeyed my order to suspend the operation!”
At his words, his subordinate raised his eyebrows, “Mr. President, Liam Hawkins is misusing public resources and deliberately defying the orders of the alliance, trampling on the rules of the alliance. Please, Mr. President, consider purging this harmful element for the alliance!”
“Purge him?”
Bruce Hodge shookhis head with a bitter smile, “The deputy president of the Thorn Oak City Alliance, the captain of the Rapid Response Team, the deputy captain of the Law Enforcement Team, three gold card holders of the Mirror Stand, three deputy heads of the corp defending the Heavenly Abyss; all of these people without exception, were brought up by Ennis Hawkins.
Now that I am indeed the lord of this city, the surname of this city is actually not mine, but Hawkins!
If I’m not careful, who gets purged is not yet decided!
-Mr. President, how can you be so dejected? Ennis Hawkins indeed holds great power in Thorn Oak City, but you are not without support, you have the entire alliance behind you.
You can rest assured that the alliance will definitely provide you with the greatest support and help you remove this cancerous tumor of Ennis Hawkins from the alliance!”
“Yes!”
Bruce Hodge squinted towards the direction of Spring City, “That’s precisely why I came here this time; to extract this cancerous tumor for the alliance.
No matter how powerful Ennis Hawkins is in Spring City, I will not back down. I, Bruce Hodge, am ready to go all out for the alliance until my last breath!” Hearing the righteous words from Bruce Hodge, his subordinates were filled with admiration, “Mr. President’s righteousness is admirable, I’m also willing to sacrificially give my all for the president and the great cause of the alliance!’ “Very good. The alliance needs talents like you.
Go ahead, keep a close eye on the movements in Spring City!
“Yes!”
With a wave of his hand, Bruce Hodge dismissed his subordinates, then snapped his fingers casually.
The original plain room instantly transformed.
The whole room became luxurious.
What was more bewildering was that the chair in which Bruce Hodge was sitting, which at first glance seemed ordinary, suddenly transformed into a soft chair made from the connected bodies of two beautiful, humiliated women.
Bruce Hodge murmured, “Ennis, don’t blame me. I don’t want to take action against you. After all, you were kind to me.
But, what can I do?
The old man is already gone, and no one is left to protect you guys. Even if I don’t take action, someone else will. We are all brothers, and with your generosity, I believe you won’t mind offering your life for my advancement, right?”
Spring City, outskirts.
Dean McKenzie looked disbelievingly at Breanna Holt who was shot by him.
“I just fired casually, how did she fall down?
Could it be that she saw I used Bone Fang, considered it a basic skill, and carelessly didn’t dodge?”
“Forget it, regardless, this outcome is good.
Dean McKenzie quickly took the opportunity to open the Gate of Bone, intending to send Anthony in.
But to Dean McKenzie’s surprise, this simple action for him could not be completed.
Every time he wanted to send Anthony in, the Gate of Bone would collapse.
-Why is this happening? This has never happened before?
Forget it, now is not the time for research, let’s carry Anthony and leave!”
Dean McKenzie said as he picked up Anthony who was lying on the ground.
To his surprise, Anthony was quite heavy. Dean McKenzie, with his 5.4 Strength, wasn’t able to lift him, and was about to call Doggy Two over to carry Anthony.
just then, the trees on the side rustled and a somewhat skinny white pony ran
out.
Dean McKenzie found the horse familiar when he saw it.
“This horse, I think I’ve ridden it before!
It’s Anthony’s!”
Almost at the same time that Dean McKenzie recognized it, the little mare pushed Dean McKenzie away, bit carefully onto Anthony and placed him directly onto her back.
Seeing the gentle movements of the little mare and the not-so-wide but comfortable back that he had ridden on before, Dean McKenzie couldn’t help but feel envious.
After all, the ones he usually rides on, whether it’s Doggy Two or Doggy Eight, are all uncomfortable for him.
“I wonder when I can have my own little mare!
While envying, Dean McKenzie turned his head and took another shot at
Breanna Holt’s corpse.
[You’ve successfully extracted from [Breanna Holt], you’ve obtained one piece of [Rare Template], gained 5 Strength, 5 Agility!]
After finishing all this and seeing Breanna Holt’s corpse, Dean McKenzie started to hesitate.
He was unsure whether to loot the corpse or destroy the body.
Especially considering Breanna Holt’s identity seems to be not ordinary; she was also part of the Professional Alliance.
“Forget it. I’m only a One-turn Developer now and don’t know much about the Alliance’s power. It’s best not to do too much.
After all, I killed her to save Anthony, and it was absolutely act of self-defense. There’s no need to do anything extra. If things go wrong, I might make things worse instead.
So, all I have to do is protect Anthony!”
Anthony still gives Dean McKenzie a sense of security.
As long as Anthony wakes up, Dean McKenzie believes he can solve everything. Then, Dean McKenzie turned his head to look at Anthony and instantly became dumbfounded.
“Hold up, where is my Anthony? The Anthony that I just put here? just in the moment that Dean McKenzie was distracted, the little mare ran away carrying Anthony.
She was so quick that when Dean McKenzie turned around, he could only see her figure disappearing into the distance.
“Damn it, don’t run, little mare! I haven’t gotten on yet!
Wait…”
Before Dean McKenzie had even finished his sentence, the little mare came back again.
Seeing this, Dean McKenzie was overjoyed. He was about to mount her but the little mare bit Dean McKenzie’s clothes.. After giving a snort, she turned around and bolted back towards Spring City with Dean McKenzie in tow!
