Chapter 11 Hades Himself!

• However, it was like an explosion in their ears, frightening them with cold sweat dripping down their faces.
• Henry swallowed hard and was so nervous that he didn't know what to say.
• Daniel looked up right then, his gaze extremely sharp.
• The rest of them were scared, and they lowered their heads at the same time, not daring to look into Daniel's eyes.
• Daniel then said coldly, "I want you guys to settle this in three days. Otherwise, you can just stand for the rest of your life." As he spoke, he put the voice recorder on the table and left right away.
• "Goodbye, Mr. Hardon." Henry and Bobby quickly moved to the side, showing respect to him.
• As soon as he left, only then did the atmosphere in the room turn less grim.
• Both of them heaved a sigh of relief and quickly checked the voice recorder, only to find out that it was the conversation between Branson and Daniel just now.
• As Branson stood to one side and watched them listen to the conversation, the man's face turned paler while his eyes filled with hopelessness.
• "How dare you mention Boss Berne! Conscience is less valuable than your uniform, am I right?! I'll rip your uniform off now! Just wait to rot in prison!" A furious Bobby kicked Branson again and again after they finished listening to the recording, while the latter curled himself up in the corner without daring to say a word.
• "Mr. Hardon is asking us to clean Goldshore up." Henry was grim-faced.
• At this moment, Bobby couldn't help but ask, "Who exactly is Mr. Hardon, Henry?"
• Henry answered, "I don't know either. I just know that the Southland's Prosecuting Attorneys' Office called the mayor, telling him that if anyone provokes Mr. Hardon, the whole Prosecuting Attorneys' Office will get into trouble, let alone the mayor."
• When Bobby heard that, he gasped with eyes full of shock. Is there even such a powerful person in Goldshore?
• …
• When Daniel left, Phantom drove the car out from the other side.
• After he entered the car, she said seriously, "My lord, I've looked into it. Just as you said, Douglas contacted Fletcher this morning."
• "As expected." His gaze was calm, for he was able to deduce this from his conversation with Branson.
• The Doyle Family was busy with the Sky Project, so they couldn't intervene much. Since the Sky Project was a mega project to promote Goldshore's development, there could not be any negative news during this period, for the Four Waves Chamber of Commerce was fighting to be the agency.
• However, since Fletcher lost both his legs, he wouldn't just stay still. From his point of view, Daniel had Tigre protecting him, so he needed to think of a way that could kill two birds with one stone.
• That was why he bribed Douglas without Jacko's knowledge in an attempt to bring Daniel down without having to use his own hands. Even if Tigre wanted to seek revenge, he would go for Jacko without suspecting the Doyle Family.
• If Daniel guessed it right, there were probably Fletcher's assassins in every detention room, waiting for him.
• Nevertheless, killing in prison was actually a good idea.
• "Let's look for Douglas," Daniel said calmly.
• Phantom answered with a nod and drove away.
• …
• Meanwhile, Douglas lay on his bed at the Rose Hotel, closing his eyes to rest after calling two girls into his room.
• When he felt that his neck was still hurting, he couldn't help but curse, "That f*cker named Fletcher nearly got me killed. Why didn't he tell me that Daniel is so good at fighting? There's no way I'm staying still. I need to get some compensation from him tomorrow."
• He had no idea the reason why Fletcher didn't tell him that was because Fletcher hoped for all of them to die in Daniel's hands. With that, Jacko would definitely be enraged and go against Daniel's guardian, Tigre.
• In the end, not only would Fletcher get his revenge, he could also sit and watch the two tops fight with each other. By then, the Doyle Family would benefit from their fight.
• Just then, there was a knock on the door.
• "Are the girls already here?" While rubbing his hands, he ran to open the door excitedly.
• A black pistol was then pointed at his forehead, and his body froze instantly. He looked at the cold-blooded, short-haired woman in front of him while taking a few steps backward.
• "I-I don't think we know each other, l-lady." Douglas raised both of his hands up while his face was completely pale.
• At this moment, Daniel came out of Phantom's back.
• Douglas's expression changed immediately when he saw Daniel. "W-Why are you here?!" What is Branson doing?! Did he take Daniel's money? Is that why he let him out?!
• Then, Daniel closed the door and looked at Douglas icily. "Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"
• Douglas was gritting his teeth, seemingly hesitating whether to tell Daniel or not.
• At this moment, Daniel squinted his eyes and the room was filled with homicidal intent. "Spit it. I'm not going to repeat my question." With his cold tone and sharp gaze, he wasn't giving Douglas the chance to hesitate.
• Meanwhile, Phantom jerked the pistol at Douglas' forehead. Instantly, he was engulfed by the chilly murderous intent, scaring him to say in a hurry, "Will you spare my life if I tell you?"
• "I won't kill you if you tell me," Daniel calmly said.
• After getting his promise, only then did Douglas tell him everything. Although he would offend the Doyle Family, his life was more important. After all, his income from the gray area all these years was enough for him to be on the run for a few years.
• Douglas told him the ins and outs, and it was exactly what Daniel had guessed. He had come here for Douglas to obtain his voice recording and beat him at his own game.
• When Douglas finished telling Daniel everything, he said with a trembling voice, "T-That's all. "You said you wouldn't k-kill me."
• "I didn't say she wouldn't, though," Daniel said with an icy gaze.
• As soon as he said that, a spark flashed instantly as Douglas' eyes widened as he wanted to ask for help. Suddenly, a stream of blood appeared on his neck, and his body collapsed immediately.
• "I told you that you wouldn't survive tonight."
• Phantom kept her knife and asked, "Should we kill Fletcher now, my lord?"
• "No." Daniel shook his head and said, "Someone else will kill him. You just need to spread this voice recording."
• "Yes, my lord."
• …
• On the other hand, Laskarina went to investigate the surveillance cameras, only to discover that all the surveillance cameras in the area had been destroyed. From that, she had a stronger feeling that something was really up.
• She kept looking everywhere. Finally, she found a witness and a video that the witness had taken at a building nearby.
• When she watched the video, she was so shocked that no words came out of her mouth. She then immediately rushed back to the station.
• After finding out about Branson going to prison and the two leaders visiting the station for Daniel, her expression turned even more serious.
• Laskarina realized there was a complicated connection at the back of this matter, so she rushed home immediately to find her grandfather.
• In the study room of the Morales Residence, a hoary-haired man was writing with utmost concentration.
• "Grandpa!" Laskarina pushed the door open and rushed into the room.
• This made Aldo Morales dissatisfied, so he scolded her, "How many times have I told you to knock before coming in?"
• "Grandpa, I have something to show you," she said in a hurry. As she said that, she clicked on the video and gave it to Aldo.
• He took it irritably, but when he saw a layer of white billow emitting from Daniel's body in the video and overturning everyone, his facial expression changed at once and he stood up sharply.
• At this moment, his eyes were sparkling. This dispersion of strength!!! A Grandmaster!!!
• A Grandmaster in martial arts was extremely rare, let alone a young Grandmaster. He had never heard of someone like this before.
• Aldo said excitedly, "What's going on, Las? Why is there a Grandmaster in Goldshore?!"
• Laskarina told him everything about what happened tonight.
• When he heard the two big shots in Goldshore addressing Daniel as Mr. Hardon, his expression changed again.
• "Who do you think Daniel Hardon is, Grandpa? His wife said that he used to be in the military before. Could he be a retired soldier from one of the legendary Nine Generals?" she asked seriously.
• Everyone knew that the Nine Generals of Freyna had gathered all the top-tier elite warriors in the country. These troops guarded the four regions of Freyna respectively.
• The Eastland was guarded by Tiger and Seth; the Westland by Dragon and Mahes; the Southland by Hellhound and Anouke; the Northland by Phoenix and Laran, and the last troop was named Zeus. It was responsible for protecting the capital of Freyna, Kledo.
• These nine legendary troops were all led by the Nine Generals of Freyna. They were the top combat forces of the country, shocking the whole world.
• It was Laskarina's dream to be chosen to serve in one of the troops.
• However, Aldo shook his head gradually. "I don't think so. The warriors of the nine generals' troops are all chosen locally. I've heard a lot about the two troops in Southland, but it's impossible for me to have not heard about Daniel, who is so young but is already a Grandmaster in martial arts."
• Hearing that, Laskarina said with a frown, "But other than the nine general's troops, I really can't figure out where there is room for a Grandmaster."
• "There isn't any in Freyna, but it doesn't mean that there isn't any outside of this country." Aldo had seemingly thought about something. His eyes were sparkling, and his voice was slightly trembling.
• "You mean…" Laskarina also realized what her grandfather meant, and her eyes were full of shock. Shen then asked in a trembling voice, "Hades' troop?!"
• "Yes." Aldo nodded. "Ten years ago, when the border was volatile, Hades came out of nowhere and built Thanatos, conquering all the lands. In fact, its name rocked the whole world instantly! On top of that, warriors in Thanatos come from all parts of the world, and they are all troublemakers that Freyna's troops didn't want to accept. But as soon as they served in Thanatos, they became elite warriors instantly!"
• "The Four Commanders under Hades' troop all have unique skills and are strong as monsters, while the three thousand warriors in the troop are all like celestial warriors, incredibly brave and loyal. Hades is just like the invincible master, known as the mightiest genius in Freyna in a hundred years. He has never lost a battle once in his life before!"
• "I also received news that he was ennobled as Freyna's tenth general after the war in Paradise!" While squinting his eyes, Aldo said, "Most importantly, rumor has it that Hades is healing his injuries in his hometown, and that's in Goldshore!"
• Laskarina gasped upon hearing that and said, "Are you saying that…"
• Aldo nodded and said seriously, "If I'm not mistaken, Daniel is from Thanatos, and he might be Hades' guardian."
• Unbeknownst to them, Daniel was not Hades' guardian but Freyna's tenth general that they were talking about—Hades himself!
• After some thought, Aldo said, "Look into Daniel's background. We need to have a good relationship with him. Pass this message down and ask the Morales Family not to mess with Daniel. Anyone who offends this order will be kicked out!"
