Chapter 219: Never Cross a Cross

Chapter 219: Never Cross a Cross

Give me the status! Mercer looked at the guard who had entered the study. Malcolm, Evelyn, Merlin, Marcela, Miles, Kenway, and Serzen were there too. After closing the portal, Malcolm took them back to the capital and they went to the mansion directly. The space shuttle exploded near the mansion, the dead bodies and carnage were all still there. When they arrived, Mercer had just returned from his massacre and had his whole body bloody.

Mercer found out who the axe guy was and after removing his mask, he recognized him to be a member of the Bach family. There were also guards and soldiers working for other families while most were truly members of the criminal parties. But it didnt change the fact that the families also participated in this ambush.

Sir, 13 bases have been hit by criminal parties and there are more than 300 casualties. Most of them are guards in Form-Rank, while two leaders and Mr. Roger also lost their lives. Monetary damage is close to billions UD. While one of the bases raided completely and everything inside had been stolen. Guard reported.

Which base? Malcolm asked with a frown.

The newest base that was built a month ago. There were dual elemental orb testing conducted there, and the leading researcher was kidnapped. His status is unknown. Guard said in a sullen mood.

What about families? What are their answers? Merlin asked.

They claimed that the members of the families were undercover agents and worked with criminals. They had stolen information from families too and their losses are incalculable. They are even blaming us because of their loss!

Crack!!

Miles looked over and saw a thick marble table was broken into pieces from Mercers fist. His eyes looked like he was ready to kill, and his body was shaking with anger!

I was so silent recently that people forgot about me. He said with a low voice, but the tone was so cold, Miles felt he was freezing. A glacier formed in the room in the form of an invisible aura. Mercer looked at everyone in the room and said with an irrefutable voice, Use whatever means you have to dig who was behind this attack. Every one of them will be hanged!

Yes, sir.

What can I do for you, Miles? Sina Azari, the man from the assassin family asked with a smile. Hassan Mus introduced Sina and Sachiru to him, so they could train together. Miles only went there once and only by using their physical bodies, Miles was able to play with them like children.

Sinas family, The Azari Family, were in the assassination and information business. They were hidden blades of Unity against the criminal parties. But that hidden blade was nurtured to kill Evelyn the previous day only to be saved by Roger. Miles didnt give a shit about the integrity and honor of the Cross family. He only wanted to pay those who wanted to harm his mother!

I want information. You either come clean or we will use other means. Miles's voice was cold. Out of respect and familiarity between the two, Miles wanted to visit Sina and ask first, if he was not a sensible man and hid the information, he would use other means too.

I didnt like your tone, Miles, Sina said with a frown. He was the heir of a strong and established family after all. Miles was bluntly threatening him.

Why should I believe you? Merlin looked down on the woman on the ground.

I can give you the footage we took secretly. Those hateful families! They used us!

Underground of the Capital, a criminal partys headquarter,

Why do I owe the pleasure, Malcolm? Man with strong muscles said. There was a huge scar on his face, a masterpiece left by Malcolm. It was obvious that mans hatred for Malcolm was boundless.

Aldo, we have known each other for a long time now, and you also know I could raid this place to the ground a long time ago. But after our battle, I realized that your cause is different from other criminal parties. I dont say you are white, but you are not black either. So I let you live and keep operating. Malcolm said calmly.

You get what I try to say, right? He added.

Cut the crap, Malcolm! Tell me why you are here. Aldo said with anger boiling inside him. He knew Malcolm better than his wife. They were rivals once, so he knew Malcolm wasnt there to mock him.

You wouldnt join those lowlives when they attacked my home, but you must have been offered a deal for it. Tell me who it was. Malcolm didnt beat around the bush any longer and asked.

I indeed know. Aldo smiled and reached out his wristwatch. I was going to end these guys anyway, why not use you as my weapon.

In many places all around the capital, there were similar interrogations and information plundering going on. The Cross family was one of the ruling parties of Unity since it was created, and they had connections almost everywhere.

Even the spoiled princess Marcela had her friends and admirers who could help her gain intel through them. She was connecting with her admirers in every part of the capital to learn as much as she could.

Kenway, Serzen, and others were also working hard to learn as much as they could. Those who battled and died were their comrades. And the people who saved them, Cross Family, had been threatened. They were even angrier than the Cross Family.

Miles was also using some other means to gain more evidence. He, unlike others, had another leverage he could use. After he discussed it with Sina, he asked his Father and they agreed to work with the Azari family. After he was done with them, he hacked into peoples wristwatches by hanging around some members of the big families.

Almost every hunter replaced their wristwatches after they leveled up to a new level. After all, higher-tier wristwatches had better hardware and abilities. But, despite the same size, the power of the higher-tiered cores was much higher. Thus, the computing ability of higher-tier wristwatches was out of Coins league.

He had to hack into the wristwatches of teenagers with some power and standing in the families. But it wasnt easy to do so. After all, the people Miles was targeting also didnt have too much information. After all, they werent in the management of their families, thus the number of intel Miles could vacuum was limited.
