Chapter 180 Taking Advantage of the Situation
At this time in Tonkai, the mastermind of the underground illegal market, a man dressed in fine attire, was looking at the report of today’s operation.
While Isaac had been successfully assassinated and his mouth sealed shut, there was no longer any need to worry about him revealing any information about people or events.
However, the members of Heavenly Punishment sent to assassinate Veronica had gone entirely silent, with all communication lost.
It was preliminarily concluded that the entire group had been wiped out.
Some more, it was the kind with their remains nowhere to be found.
“How is that possible!”
The man in fine attire was filled with shock and anger.
That was the Heavenly Punishment. Even on a global scale, they were no less than the top–notch professional assassin teams.
Even if they were sent to assassinate a warrior with war god strength, even if unsuccessful, they should have been able to at least scratch the opponent’s surface and retreat unharmed.
However, now, when tasked with dealing with a mere Commander of the Sherland Guardians, who also happened to be a woman, somehow, they had all perished!
Based on their organization’s investigation of Veronica, it seemed she shouldn’t have had the capability to wipe out the entire Heavenly Punishment team.
“Sir, should we send even more formidable assassins from Heavenly Punishment to continue the mission?” An elderly man nearby suggested, bowing. “Or perhaps let me handle it personally?” This elderly man, on the surface, served as the chief steward for this influential figure. However, behind the scenes, he held an even more prestigious role. He was one of the co–founders of Heavenly Punishment.
Once, he was a world–class assassin, striking fear into countless hearts.
Now that he was getting older, he had retired from the underworld and became an inconspicuous steward and bodyguard by the illegal market’s mastermind.
“No!” The man in fine attire immediately shook his head, refusing to take further risks.
Because the members of the Heavenly Punishment were also a substantial source of wealth, and their loss couldn’t be squandered so recklessly.
Losing just one person, no matter who, was a significant loss for their illegal market.
“I suspect… it was Carlos Waltson, the Zombric’s Cry. He has stationed even more formidable experts by his adopted daughter’s side, secretly protecting her!
“Yes! That must be the case!”
Apart from that, the man in fine attire couldn’t think of any other possibilities.
“Go! Continue the investigation of Veronica, and thoroughly investigate everyone around her!
“Know thyself, know thy enemy, and you will never be defeated! The next time we strike, we must not make such a low–level mistake again!”
“Yes!” The elderly man replied and immediately instructed the intelligence department to continue sending agents for the investigation.

On the other side in Fatuma, at the resident of the Johnson family, watching Lucas returning alone, Fatuma’s wealthiest man, Max, was furious.
“This is outrageous!
“You have some nerve!”
Of the four families he had sent out, some were dead, while some were defected.
Now, only the Peggy family had returned.
How could Max accept this outcome?
What was even more outrageous was that they wanted to use the Soler and the Back family to turn them against him!
“The Polly family acted on their own initiative and paid the price. But the Soler family and the Back family, daring to betray openly, their crimes are unforgivable!”
Max immediately decided. “Go, first, have these two families under control! To prevent them from uniting and truly coming after me!”
The Johnson family decided to strike first.
“Understood!”
Lucas immediately obeyed, eager to make amends
Although he couldn’t defeat Leones, things were not the same with the Wilson and Back families. Taking advantage of the fact that the chiefs of these two families haven’t returned yet, he could act first and capture them all in one fell swoop.
Lucas stood up and was about to take action.
But just then, Lucas stumbled and fell flat on the ground.
“Poison?
“Somebody poisoned the air?”
Lucas had a premonition of something, and his face turned pale.
To be able to poison so discreetly, who else could it be besides that wretched elderly lady from the Wilson family?
“Who is it?” Max was horrified when he saw this, and as he tried to stand up, his legs gave way, and he fell back into his seat.
“Hahahaha…”
Outside the door, there came a burst of manic laughter.
“Janice, your methods of poisoning under the guise of a gentle breeze have become even more exquisite!
“From more than 300 feet away, you still manage to get the job done! Just look at Lucas. He’s already fallen victim, haha…”
Filled with shock and anger, Lucas exclaimed, “It’s really you! You bunch of bastards and freeloaders!”
Amidst the scolding, two elderly figures, one male and one female, arrived like phantoms,
Lucas had thought that returning overnight was already quite timely, but he hadn’t expected these two bastards to get back here so quickly as well.
“Janice!” Max asked incredulously, “Are you really going against the Johnson family?”
Janice let out a long sigh. “I had no choice.
“I never expected that the opponent would be the disciple of the Great Sorcerer. My entire clan’s lives are in their hands. Targeting the Johnson family was a last resort!”
Max angrily retorted, “Aren’t you afraid of the retaliation from our family?”
Yes!
Of course, Janice was afraid!
But compared to the retaliation that might come later, the current threat to her life was what she should be more concerned about.
“Hehe, Max! You are already under our control.”
At this moment, David smirked quietly and coldly.
“When Mr. Bloom arrives in Fatuma next week, we will hand you over to him for judgment and punishment.
“Before the Johnson family can take revenge, we will have already been far gone once everything is accomplished!”
“Hmph!” Max snorted and quickly regained his composure.
He was indeed the wealthiest man in the region and had once been a formidable figure in his prime.
Facing such a setback, he naturally had contingency plans in place.
“Do you really think that you can be an enemy to the Johnson family with
“If that kid Leones dares to come, I’ll make sure he never leaves!”
your
abilities?
With that, Max shouted, “Mr. Williams! Please show yourself and take action!”
Before his words had even finished, a shadow appeared out of thin air, as if a god had descended to earth.
Effortlessly, Janice and David were knocked down to the ground with two consecutive strikes.
“How can this be?” Janice’s face turned pale in shock. “Who are you, sir?”
Her poison had no effect on him?
“You… are you an ancient warrior?” David coughed up blood repeatedly, and despite The yellow–skinned creature possessed him, he still had been severely beaten.
Such terrifying strength could only belong to an ancient warrior!
“Hmph!”
The elderly man that the Johnson family referred to as Mr. Williams snorted but didn’t respond. Clearly, these ants weren’t worthy of knowing his identity yet.
-Shortly after, Max regained control of the situation once again.
And under his interrogation, it was revealed that Leones would personally come to Fatuma next week.
“Wow! I didn’t go looking for him, yet he dares to come and settle the score with me?”
Max’s eyes glinted as he prepared to use a stratagem.
to come quickly!”
