From A Prisoner To A Big Short’s Inheritor

Chapter 90

Chapter 90 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” 1/3 16:38 Chapter 90

“He was a driver for Mr. Clarkson before. His name is Anthony Walker, and now he’s handling business in the northern three states.” “He’s expected to arrive in Newden City in a few days and hopes to meet you.” “Okay, I know about this. You can handle the arrangements,” Leonard said, nodding. Once Rex had left. Leonard lay in bed, preparing for a good night’s sleep. Then the doorbell rang. Marianna’s face appeared on the monitor. “Why is she here?” Leonard went down to open the door, frowning. “Didn’t you leave with your mom?” “Yes, but I ran away. Leonard, can you take me in? I’m homeless now.” Leonard felt a bit overwhelmed. Honestly, Marianna was beautiful. But it was precisely because of her beauty that Leonard was troubled. Such a vibrant beauty, who confessed her feelings to him, said she liked him, now showed up at his door. How could Leonard resist? But seeing Marianna looking so pitiful, Leonard finally gave in. “I’ll let you stay for one night, but you have to leave tomorrow,” Leonard said. Marianna immediately cheered up and hopped into the house. She took off her coat and said, “It’s too hot. I’ll take a bath first.” With that, she walked straight into the bathroom and shut the door. Leonard stood speechless in the living room. Marianna didn’t treat herself as an outsider. Meanwhile, inside the Bureau of Police. Arlene strode in, accompanied by the captain. As they walked, the captain said, “The total number of deaths is over a dozen. Some were shot, and some seem to have been beaten to death.” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“We heard General Wilson is on vacation in Newden City. We’d like your help analyzing the killer’s strength.” Arlene nodded and walked in with a serious expression, but she was internally complaining. “Why can’t I even have a peaceful vacation? Last time, the Blades Corps asked for help, and today, the Bureau of Police is dragging me in. Can’t I have a proper break?” Despite her internal grumbling, Arlene still followed them inside. There were a dozen bodies in the basement. Some had bullet holes in their heads. Arlene glanced at them dismissively and then moved on. They were being shot to death. What was there to analyze? Gang fights happened all the time at the southern border. It probably did not often happen in Newden City, so the Bureau of Police was making a big fuss. She thought their request for her was a bit much. But since she was here, she couldn’t just brush it off. So she pretended to examine each one. But when she saw Dylan’s body, her eyes widened, and her expression became serious. 2/3 16:38 Chapter 90 Dylan was famous in the southern border. Even Arlene had seen his files. If she remembered correctly, he was a Superior Level martial artist in the Power Realm. But now he was beaten to death, with his chest and lower abdomen caved in. When Power-Realm experts exerted their power, their bodies were like iron. Someone had broken through Dylan’s defense and shattered his internal or ga ns, causing his death. The killer’s strength was horrifying, reminding her of the Asura Sect members who were killed carlier. Send Gift Comment
