Chapter 90 A Big Short's Prisoner

• People from the Bureau of Police began to lift the bodies one by one, moving them to the cars. Madilyn had a clear view of the faces of the deceased. Dylan’s tragic look especially shocked her with a tremble. Fear filled her eyes. As the eldest daughter of the Hanson family, she wasn’t scared of the bodies. She was scared of Dylan’s reputation at the southern border. Dylan, a bodyguard of the Yancey family, was one of their few skilled fighters. He had gained significant fame at the southern border. But now, he lay dead here. His face was smeared with blood, and his chest and stomach had caved in. It was clear that he had suffered terribly before his death. “Who could have done this to Dylan?” At this moment, Madilyn felt a chill run down her spine. If Dylan was dead, it meant that the skilled fighters the Hanson family sent to protect her probably weren’t enough. She feared her own life was in danger if she intended to fight for the Blood Emerald Pearl.
• The middle-aged man standing next to her was equally serious. He stepped closer and said quietly to Madilyn, “Miss Hanson, all the dead are from the Yancey family at the southern border. There are no bodies from anywhere else.” Hearing this, Madilyn gasped in surprise. This meant that the entire team the Yancey family had sent to Newden City had been wiped out without killing a single enemy. This left her feeling suffocated. No single power from the southern border could have done this. Unless it was the Asura Sect. But the Hanson family had a close relationship with the Asura Sect. She had even called their local representative before coming here. The reply she got was that the Asura Sect didn’t know about the situation on this street. Furthermore, the Asura Sect member who answered her call told her that their leader, Scorpion, might be in trouble. Their helicopter had lost contact. Before losing contact, they had sent an emergency signal with a voice filled with fear. “Could it be the same force attacking the Asura Sect’s leader and the Yancey family today? Who would dare to attack the Asura Sect and the Yancey family?” Suddenly, Madilyn considered a possibility. These two powers, one dominating the southern border, the other known worldwide, had no intersections.
• Their only common interest was the Blood Emerald Pearl. They had both come to Newden City to find a certain young man and recover the Blood Emerald Pearl. Could this have something to do with that young man? They had gone to seize the Blood Emerald Pearl from the young man, but he might have killed them instead. This thought popped up in Madilyn’s mind. She was dumbfounded. The young man she had encountered at Lerwick Mount was ordinary. How could he have such power? Regardless, it was clear that a formidable force was at work in Newden City concerning the Blood Emerald Pearl. Taking a deep breath, Madilyn turned around and walked toward the car. Once she got in, she immediately dialed her father’s number back at the southern border. “Dad, things are getting a bit tricky in Newden City…” After leaving, Leonard returned directly to Shoal Manor, Rex reported to Leonard, “Mr. Santos, my boss is coming to Newden City”
