The Healing Avenger novel Chapter 390

Hank, who had been calm all along, set down his teacup, squinting at Brutus.

After a moment, Brutus hung up the phone, his expression even more serious. “A mysterious force just appeared simultaneously in Nuthana, Juxshire, Sparaville, and Moulmore. Our four squads in total, amounting to one hundred and sixty people, were annihilated! In addition, the elite forces of the Wahlstrom family entered Juxshire and aggressively killed several guild officials who had been secretly contacted by the Zymons family, stabilizing the chaos caused by the death of Dalton!”

Hank tightened his grip on the teacup, but his face still showed no ripples, leaving people uncertain about what he was thinking.

Brutus exclaimed, “The situation has been turned around!”

Hank looked up and walked to a map of Loang.

His gaze fell on the five states in the southern region.

“Contact Dragon Palace!”

Brutus was puzzled. “Why contact Dragon Palace?”

Dragon Palace, the defender of the order of Loang's underworld, and the real leader of all.

Whether it was the Wahlstrom family in Nuthana, the Zymons family in Gablurg, or Dominic Johnson in Jipsdale, they were all to some extent constrained by Dragon Palace.

For example, the Wahlstrom family could not firmly gain control of the five states without the final approval of Dragon Palace.

Hank tapped on the map lightly. “Does the Wahlstrom family have the ability to simultaneously operate in all five states and kill those one hundred and sixty people?”

Before Brutus could answer, Hank sighed softly. “The Wahlstrom family doesn't have this ability. If they did, Barry and Dalton wouldn't have died.”

Brutus vaguely understood something. “one hundred and sixty men were the best of the best. To deal with them, or even kill them, the Wahlstrom family's elite forces would have to take action. But the elite forces of the Wahlstrom family are just over a hundred, and now they are stationed in Juxshire. So, what just happened is likely not the work of the Wahlstrom family?”

Hank calmly stated, “Contact Dragon Palace to ask if they are dissatisfied with our intervention.”

Brutus nodded heavily. “Got it!”

Immediately, Brutus went to the side and made a call.

Two minutes later, after ending the call, he walked back to Hank. “Mr. Weatherby, Dragon Palace said they have also noticed the situations of the Zymons and Wahlstrom families. However, this level of activity is just a minor disturbance, and they haven't intervened!”

Hank's eyes narrowed.

Then he laughed. “It wasn't Dragon Palace, and the Wahlstrom family doesn't have the capability. Interesting!”

Brutus asked, “Or maybe Dragon Palace is secretly involved but won't admit it?”

Hank shook his head and turned around, “Except for the Dragon Lord and a few others, the rest of Dragon Palace dare not deceive me. Since they said it's not them, then it's definitely not them!”

“Besides Dragon Palace, who else has the power to intervene like this? Is our plan going to face another twist?”

Twist?

A cold light flashed in Hank's eyes. His plan had already been disrupted once, and this time he didn't want any unexpected events.

“Let a few of them surface and capture some people. I need to first ascertain who is secretly aiding the Wahlstrom family and opposing me?”

“Sure!”

In the next few days, the power struggle between the Zymons and Wahlstrom families escalated once again.

All thirteen guild officials and sixty-seven key members who surrendered to the Zymons family were killed.

Half the key members sent by the Zymons family to Nuthana also suffered heavy casualties.

Additionally, more than twenty people from the direct and collateral branches of the Zymons family were assassinated, including a private son fostered by Seth under a cousin's name.

For a while, there was a sense of panic among the Zymons family's camp, and there were even cases of quiet defections.

Furious, Seth sent out a force to attack, hoping to turn the tide.

However, due to the Wahlstrom family's prior arrangements, Seth's actions were in vain and resulted in the loss of many skilled individuals.

“The Wahlstrom family has gained the upper hand. I need to attend to a personal matter.”

At the same time, Brutus approached with an embarrassed expression. “Mr. Weatherby, those who secretly helped the Wahlstrom family can't be traced or captured. It's as if they've disappeared!”

Hank raised his eyebrows slightly and sneered, “I waited for you for several days, and this is the answer you bring me?”

Upon hearing this, Brutus felt his heart sink. He hurriedly explained, “Mr. Weatherby, I couldn't find anything, not even a trace!”

He furrowed his brow, falling silent for a moment.

Frowning, Hank fell silent for a moment. He shook his head lightly, dispersing the anger in his heart. “Forget it. Tell those who exposed themselves go back into hiding!”

Brutus relaxed a bit, “Also, the Zymons family hopes we can help. If this continues, and they keep being attacked, the Zymons family may collapse on its own.”

Hank massaged his temples. “I thought it was a simple matter, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome. If I had known, I should have tried to negotiate with the Wahlstrom family instead of thinking about supporting the Zymons family to replace the Wahlstrom family.”

But Hank also knew that saying these things now would be of no use.

Waving his hand, he said, “Let the Zymons family endure it for now. They must not withdraw from Sparaville. After I go to Nuthana, everything will be resolved. Otherwise, if the Wahlstrom family doesn't destroy the Zymons family, I will do it myself!”

Brutus nodded. “Understood!”

Hank paused before asking, “Is Theoden still at Dragon Bay?”

“He hasn't left in the past few days.”

“Given the circumstances, is it safer for him to stay close to Finnegan?”

Brutus replied, “Although I don't like Finnegan, the guy's medical skills are undeniably superb. When it comes to a critical moment, he can save lives!”

After a moment of contemplation, Hank instructed, “Investigate Finnegan further, especially regarding who his mentor is.”

“Got it!”
