Kooka almost went crazy. How was he supposed to investigate?
His level of authority was simply insufficient. Moreover, Kooka immediately thought of the remaining 11 sacred halls when he thought about who had such great courage and financial resources to directly target the Hall of Evil like this. Thus, Kooka only stammered, “Lord Evelyn, I can try my best, but my authority isn’t enough for me to take on this task.”
Evelyn wanted to say something else when suddenly, the manor’s alarm blared. There were sounds of fighting outside and even blazing fire.
Boom, boom, boom!
More than a dozen cannonballs fell like fireworks from the air into the manor. They immediately detonated with loud explosions!
Rat-tat-tat!
It was immediately followed by rapid gunshots.
Evelyn panicked, and the guards in the hall rushed out while shouting, “Lord Envoy, let’s go! It’s the bounty hunters! They’re rushing in!”
“What?!”
Evelyn was dumbfounded!
How long had it been? How could these people have found her manor already and were prepared to kill her to collect the reward?
Ten million dollars… She was a walking vault of ten million dollars!
“F*ck!” Evelyn cursed and dropped the phone. She followed the guards and ran frantically via the escape passage in the manor. Soon, the entire manor was in flames.
A group of armed assassins stood in every corner of the manor, searching for members of the Hall of Evil. Unfortunately, except for some useless guards, all the important people had fled.
