Chapter 93 Wyvern Palace
Upon hearing that Reginald had summoned him to the office, Maurice was terrified.
As soon as he entered, he said, “Mr. Aguilar, I haven’t dared to disclose anything about Madeline that you entrusted to me…”
Reginald looked at Maurice’s terrified expression at that moment, and he was quite satisfied.
Only such servile individuals could be exploited for one’s own benefit!
“Alright, Mr. Chandler, that’s not what I wanted to discuss with you.”
“I asked you to come here to tell you that the Sales Department is planning to promote someone to the position of Deputy Director. From what I’ve observed, your qualifications are quite satisfactory.”
“Recently, I conducted a comprehensive assessment of you.”
“Besides, what I want to say is, it was right to actively combat the malpractices within the company.
“For instance, you could spread the word about Madeline’s situation, harness the power of the public, and expose those criminals for who they truly are!”
“Huh?” Maurice was taken aback for a moment, but quickly understood what Reginald meant.
“Mr. Aguilar, I understand, I will soon make this matter known to everyone in the company!” This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Reginald sneered. “I didn’t ask you to do that. It was your personal realization.”
“I understand, Mr. Aguilar!” Maurice replied excitedly.
“Go back, work hard, and perform well,” Reginald waved his hand.
Maurice walked out of the office, ecstatic with joy!
He never imagined that the position of deputy director, which he had planned to achieve in five to ten years, was now within his grasp!
“Keep going! I must show Blanca my progress!” Maurice vowed to himself, his fists clenched tightly.
He ran straight to the fire escape of the building, giving himself a pep talk in solitude.
He clearly felt that his dream was about to come true!
***
In the northern region of Londraland, at the highest peak of Mount Wyvern, which stood at an altitude of 3900 meters, was Glory Peak.
There stood a solemn and majestic ancient building.
This was the headquarters of the most mysterious military organization in Londraland – Dragon Soul, the Wyvern Palace!
Inside the Wyvern Palace, under the dazzling golden lights, the stars shone brilliantly, exuding an overwhelming aura.
At the throne of the Dragon Hall in Wyvern Palace, a white–haired four–star General Morton was seated.
This veteran general was Cornelius Morton, the supreme commander
of Dragon Soul.
In the center of Dragon Hall, there stood three Major Generals and six Brigadier Generals.
They were watching the photos of two Valluynnian assassins‘ corpses being displayed on the central screen in Dragon Hall.
The expression on each general’s face was extremely solemn!
After the video footage was played three times, it was paused on the
screen.
Cornelius remained silent for over three minutes, breaking the suffocating silence within Dragon Hall.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, two Valluynnian assassins suddenly infiltrated Londraland. Within less than two days, they were killed and their bodies were dumped in the Gloom Valley of Hallcester.”
“According to intelligence from Londraland’s security department, these two were low–level assassins from the Hart family, hailing from Valluynn.”
“These two assassins were named Dallas and Francisco, disciples of the Agility Sect from Valluynn.”
“The true purpose of this visit to Hallcester was still unknown.”
“His death was the handiwork of Barry’s men.”
“After they killed two Valluynnian assassins in Cosmo Mall, they dumped their bodies in Gloom Valley.”
“Ladies and Gentlemen, any thoughts?”
Major General Randall Allen’s hands trembled with excitement.
“General Morton, no matter what the purpose of these two entering Londraland was, there was one thing that was extremely peculiar!”
“The appearance of these two Valluynnian assassins‘ corpses was quite peculiar.”
“Clearly, it had become this mummified state because something had drained all the blood from its body.”
At this point, Randall paused, a glint of reverence flashing in his eyes.
Comelius also rose from his seat, his expression solemn and serious.
“General Allen, are you referring to that person?”
Randall nodded excitedly. “Apart from the legend of Dragon Soul from decades ago, I’ve never seen a second person in this world who could kill in such a way!”
Dragon Hall once again fell into a suffocating silence.
Cornelius furrowed his brows, his expression growing increasingly
grave.
How could he not know who this legendary Dragon Soul that Randall spoke of was?
“General Morton, Lord Wyvern must have been framed back then, which forced him to…”
“Shut up!” Cornelius commanded coldly, “The order from Wyvern Palace years ago was to never mention this person. Are you trying to defy that command?”
Randall’s face turned red, and he was silent for a long time, “General Morton, we followed that legend to create Dragon Soul back then, how could he betray his own beliefs…”
“Enough!” Cornelius sternly rebuked, “Let’s put an end to this conversation!”
“The incident involving the bodies of Valluynnian assassins in Gloom Valley Hallcester, was now classified as a 5S level top secret!”
Randall furrowed his brows, continuing. “General Morton, are we just going to let this matter slide?”
Cornelius furrowed his brows, pacing back and forth in the center of Dragon Hall.
Time passed, second by second, minute by minute.
Aside from the heavy footsteps of Cornelius, Dragon Hall was silent.
“General Allen, you are to fly to Hallcester immediately. You are fully in charge of the West Mountain incident. Remember, this mission is classified at the highest level of secrecy!”
“Immediately contact the captain of Londraland’s Warwolf Special Forces, Rafael Harvey, and issue a secret lockdown order for Hallcester Gloom Valley!”
“Yes!” Randall quickly gathered the necessary information and flew directly to Hallcester in a fighter jet.
Ten minutes later, Nia, who was on vacation in Hallcester, received orders from the Warwolf Special Forces headquarters in Londraland.
The special military forces of Hallcester were immediately reassigned to secretly seal off Gloom Valley, awaiting further orders.
Shang Feng issued the order, without revealing the true reason behind
this move.
They sent the coordinates of the location they wanted to block directly.
Nia understood why she was assigned to carry out the most peripheral operations.
His own level was not high enough to touch the core content of this
mission.
Due to the urgency of the situation. I happened to be in Hallcester.
Therefore, she was chosen to undertake the extremely marginal responsibilities and carry out such tasks.
Generally speaking, such tasks were of the utmost confidentiality.
Even she, as the deputy commander of the Warwolf Special Forces, couldn’t access the core content of the mission.
This military operation was overseen by the most secretive organization within the Londraland military.
Given the circumstances, she had no choice but to temporarily set aside everything at hand and complete the mission first.
After calculating the time, it was estimated that he would be nearly an hour late for his scheduled meeting with Robin.
I had planned to call Robin to explain the situation and cancel our noon appointment.
Thinking about it, this wasn’t too bad after all.
After all, it was Robin who was asked to treat Grandpa’s illness.
Such behavior was utterly disrespectful.
At that moment, she glanced at her classmate Cheryl Figueroa, who had come to seek her help, and she found a solution.
“Cheryl, I have a task to attend to shortly, it will probably take about two hours.”
“At noon. I had arranged to meet a man named Robin on the second floor of the Blue Bay Mall, which was located opposite the Huber Edifice.”
“I might arrive a bit later than the scheduled time.”
“Could you go to Blue Bay Mall first and keep Mr. Bruce company for a while?”
“Weren’t you asking me to talk to Karina, to help you, the Figueroa family, secure an outsourcing contract for the east side of the city?”
“Perfect, once I arrived, I could take you to meet Karina.”
Cheryl asked in surprise. “You’re meeting a man? Is it a blind date?”
Nia’s face turned red instantly, “Don’t talk nonsense, how could that be possible! It’s just…”
“Alright! I got it, don’t worry, I promise I’ll handle this matter well!” Cheryl understood and smiled knowingly, casually agreeing.
She knew that Nia had many suitors, but Nia had always been dismissive of them.
Cheryl assumed that Nia didn’t want to meet this man named Robin, so she made up an excuse about having a mission.
Cheryl was a classmate of Nia’s during their high school years.
She came today, hoping that Nia could help her secure an outsourcing contract from the Huber Group’s investment in the east of the city.
Since Nia had asked for her help, she was of course willing to make a
trip to Blue Bay Mall.
After Cheryl left.
Nia sent another message to Robin, explaining things further.
And he was informed that they had specifically arranged for one of hist female classmates to come and chat with him for a while.
At half past twelve noon, Robin arrived at the leisure hall on the second floor of Blue Bay Mall, according to the location Nia had given him.
As soon as he arrived at the lounge, he saw a young, fashionable woman sitting at the reserved seat from a distance.
The woman was wearing a fashionable blue low–cut loose blouse and a black ultra–short mini skirt. Her fair long legs were bare, without stockings.
This attire, this beauty, attracted many fiery gazes in the lounge.
This woman was Cheryl.
Despite Cheryl’s captivating beauty.
However, the pride and indifference that radiated from her bones made many people merely admire her from afar, not daring to approach.
Robin sat down across from Cheryl, instantly drawing a wave of disappointment and jealousy in the lounge.
Some men wished they could have strangled Robin on the spot.
“Are you Robin?” Cheryl asked coldly.
Robin nodded, “Yes, are you Nia’s classmate, Cheryl?”
Cheryl didn’t respond, she coldly sized up Robin, who was dressed in casual attire.
Looking at Robin’s outfit, which didn’t even have a single brand label. he sneered in disdain.
“What kind of car do you drive?” Cheryl suddenly asked.
“Do you need to use the car?” Robin directly tossed her the keys to the Land Rover. “Go ahead and use it.”
Cheryl didn’t take the keys. She scoffed and placed her own Lamborghini keys on the table.
“You dared to meet Nia in this piece of junk? Ha, are you out of your mind?”
“Listen to my advice, have some self–awareness! Hurry up and go home, you’re simply not good enough for her!”
Robin was completely baffled, “What’s going on? Are you… a car salesman?”
Cheryl sneered, “Ugh, a poor loser who drives a Land Rover, you sure have big dreams. Get lost, now! Ha!”
