“It was my fault carlier. I didn’t know you two were the leader and vice leader. I even hurt you, Ms. Wynn. Let’s leave the dungeon first, then have doctors properly treat you, and let the Miracle Healer change into clean clothes-
“No need. This little injury won’t kill me. Besides, I think the dungeon’s just fine. No need to go out.” Serena not only refused to leave, but she dropped down and sat right next to Noelle.
Marshall’s face turned stormy. Amanda, standing beside him, was the same. She stared in shock at how her father called Noelle and Serena the leader and vice leader. Are they actually the leaders of Alliance 749?
No wonder Father suddenly became so submissive!
“Mr. President! Bad news, bad news!”
Just as Marshall was practically begging them to leave the dungeon, another guard rushed in. “It’s Alliance 749! Alliance 749’s armed forces have arrived outside the presidential residence! They’re demanding we immediately release their leader and vice leader!”
Marshall’s face darkened completely. He wanted to release them, but that assumed they were willing to leave!
“This is bad! This is bad, Mr. President!”
Yet another guard rushed in.
Marshall couldn’t help shouting in a low voice, “What now?”
“Just now, large IBI units arrived at the presidential residence…”
Marshall’s eyelid twitched. IBI showed up too?
IBI’s international influence rivaled Alliance 749, but IBI was a globally recognized state- level organization, while Alliance 749 was a civilian group.
IBI had worldwide enforcement authority. Its agents were spread across the globe, with enormous power, and they were even able to intervene in other nations‘ internal affairs for investigations and operations. IBI’s sudden arrival was absolutely no coincidence!
Marshall’s heart sank instantly. Alliance 749 along was already giving him a splitting headache. Now add IBI… He could already foresee the storm about to crash down on the presidential residence!
“W–what does IBI want?” Marshall’s voice carried a faint, uncontrollable tremor.

The guard swallowed hard, terror written all over his face. “They said… they received intelligence that the Marnsburg presidential residence is suspected of illegal detention, severe human rights violations, and … and potential actions threatening world peace. They’re demanding immediate entry for inspection, and… they want to meet you personally, Mr. President!”
Illegal detention. Human rights violations. Threatening world peace.
Each phrase was like a thunderclap, exploding in Marshall’s ears.
No need to guess. This had to be Alliance 749’s doing! Not only had they mobilized their own forces to surround the place, they’d also dragged in IBI in one move. This was a full–on attempt to crush him and the entire Marnsburg presidential residence.
“Father!”
Amanda was completely panicked now. IBI’s involvement meant this had escalated into a full–blown international incident. If those charges were confirmed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Marshall suddenly looked at Noelle and Serena, who were still sitting calmly in the dungeon. He remembered what Noelle had said before being locked up. She said he would end up begging them to leave the presidential residence. And now, she’d proven it.
“Ladies … what happened earlier was my fault. I beg you, please leave the presidential residence.”
This time, the president bowed again, deeper than ever before.
For a head of state to bend and plead–only Nocy and Serena could pull that off.
“As for Anna … I’ll expel her from the family, strip her of her status, and banish her to remote lands.”
Marshall forced the words out.
This was already the utmost sincerity he could offer.
Noelle said nothing more. She supported Serena and stood, then walked out of the dungeon
Amanda helped Marshall along behind them. I just a short moment, he looked like he’d aged decades.
“How did IBI get involved?” Serena couldn’t help asking Noelle as they walked ahead.
Alliance 749 made sense. But why IBI?

An organization at IBI’s level wasn’t something Alliance 749 could just summon.
