Right then, a towering man with short golden hair strode in with a few of his subordinates.
The blond man said loudly, “Chev of Room of Taurus greets Allfather. Allfather, may I know why you've killed my subordinate?”
Allfather hissed, “What a good time you've come. Have a look at what your man has brought back.”
He raised his hand.
The bullet turned into a beam of light that shot toward Chev.
Chev caught it easily. Just half a second after inspecting it, he gritted his teeth.
Allfather continued indifferently, “Dean Taurus, you've arrived at the right time. Your man has stirred up such troubles, so how are you planning to deal with it?”
Chev answered solemnly, “Allfather, I've come to settle this matter. My subordinates, Demon Eyes Seven, have all been killed by Nathan. Nathan has been looking for information about Heavenly City, and Admiral Max of Pentacle Tower has been urging us to get rid of Nathan. Therefore, I plan to meet Nathan myself.”
The moment those words were out of his mouth, the crowd was thunderstruck.
Chev was one of the deans of Heavenly City's Twelve Rooms. He was the dean of the Room of Taurus.
In other words, he was one of the twelve most powerful fighters in Heavenly City, excluding Allfather.
No one expected Chev to take the assassination of Nathan into his own hands.
Even Allfather was silent for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons of Chev's plan.
Finally, he asked, “Have you really made up your mind about this?”
Chev smiled and said, “Since the establishment of Heavenly City many years ago, we've captured countless expert fighters all over the globe. Our lab has gathered numerous combat techniques by interrogating these fighters, and we've systematically trained batches and batches of expert combatants. Heavenly City has been keeping a low profile all these years. It's time for us to stun the world. I'll be taking this into my own hands, and I'll be killing the God of War of Eurasia myself. My actions will certainly shock the whole world, and Heavenly City will be known to everyone by then.”
Finally, Allfather agreed to it. “Okay, you have my permission for the operation. You're allowed to intervene in this matter and kill Nathan. Also, send someone to take a trip around Ariarica with this bullet so that Heavenly City's location won't be revealed to them.”
Chev gave Allfather a slight bow. “I understand, Allfather.”
All of a sudden, Jermaine uttered, “President Cross, look! The dot has sped up.”
Nathan and the rest looked at the screen of the equipment again.
Right then, Colin noticed something else.
“Did you realize that the dot is heading toward us? That means...”
Nathan said calmly, “That means, not only did our enemy notice the tracking function of the bullet, but they're even coming after us now.”
Colin and the others gasped in shock.
The people of Heavenly City are on their way here! What are they going to do? Have they not suffered enough?
Nathan stood up and stared at the horizon of the sea. “Prep yourselves. Our enemy must be fearless to come after us. I'm afraid there will be a tough battle ahead of us.”
