"Yes, we arrived at the agreed delivery location only to find that the Britt family's people were all dead! And the shipment was nowhere to be found!" Fat Blocker said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Abel's face changed immediately and he quickly called Fabian who was responsible for transporting the goods. However, no one answered which made him feel uneasy. Damn it, someone intercepted that batch of kids? Who would be so bold as to ruin a good thing for both the Britt family and Ghost Plaque Sect?
At this moment, Abel felt worried and concerned about what might happen if those kids fell into someone else's hands. Would it cause trouble for the Britt family? After all, their actions were always kept in secret.
Thin Blocker snorted coldly at this point with a hint of threat in his tone, "Mr. Britt, don't bother calling anymore because you won't get through! I don't care but you should take responsibility for what happened since that batch of goods was under your control! The sect has already suffered losses due to your actions before when two high-level experts were killed including Hawkeye Ghost who is an elder level powerhouse!"
"Despite supplying us with goods regularly which is why we didn't punish you before, but if you can't give us an explanation about this shipment, then don't blame us if we come after you!"
Abel's face changed again as he listened carefully. In response he smiled politely saying, "Don't worry two envoys; I will investigate thoroughly until I find out what happened to that shipment or replace it as soon as possible."
"Good," Fat Blocker and Thin Blocker nodded satisfactorily upon hearing Abel's words thinking they had waited long enough for him to say something like this.
At this point, Abel temporarily suppressed his worries and turned towards Thin Blocker saying, "By the way envoys, there may be trouble coming our way soon from whoever killed Elder Hawkeye recently. Would it be possible for both of you stay behind and help us solve this problem? If so, then my family would greatly appreciate your help and reward both of you accordingly."
Although he had already summoned all the top experts of the Britt family in preparation for the possible arrival of Lachlan, and had also contacted their connections in the Capital military district, more help was always welcome.
At this time, two experts from the Ghost Plaque Sect arrived with their men, a welcome addition indeed. If they agreed to help, there would be no need to use the military district's connections just yet. It was better not to make too much noise and avoid getting into any other trouble for the Britt family.
"Oh? Is it that guy named Lachlan?" Fat Blocker's face changed at these words as he asked in surprise.
Thin Blocker also looked serious upon hearing this news.
"Yes, that guy! This is a great opportunity for you to avenge your fellow sect member." Abel nodded his head as he spoke.
However, upon hearing this proposal, Fat Blocker and Thin Blocker exchanged glances but remained solemn.
"I advise you! If there is any way to negotiate with Lachlan regarding your grudges against him and settle things peacefully through talks instead of violence," Fat Blocker shook his head before continuing on. "I'm telling you now that Elder Hawkeye's strength far surpasses ours."
"Hawkeye died at that guy's hands; we can't possibly match him either," Thin Blocker added gravely.
Abel's face changed slightly as he asked in a low voice, "Even if we team up with our top experts together and besiege him?"
Upon hearing Abel's question, Thin Blocker looked towards those present from the Britt family before sneering disdainfully, "Adding them? Will it be useful?"
Hearing these words made those present from the Britt family show anger and dissatisfaction on their faces immediately.
"What do you mean by that?" A bald muscular man shouted angrily; his muscles bulging while emitting an aura of immense power around him.
His name was Tyger Britt aka Tigreton, one of the strongest fighters who worked under the Britt family's command while being one of several underground forces' leaders within the Capital city.
His strength had reached its peak after Transmutation Force which meant Half-Step Grandmaster level!
