The neighborhood of National Treasure Garden on Peony Avenue had turned into a huge battlefield. Although the rainwater had washed the blood flowing out into the soil, there was still the metallic taste of blood in the air.
Milo stored all the nanomachines favonovel.com had just obtained in his body and waited for Olivia to take out the remaining hitmen.
No one dared to head out of their houses at this moment, so it made it easier for the creeper vines to kill people.
However, Milo still made a trip down to the estate office. The staff and security guards here had already fled, but favonovel.com came here to take away the main server that stored the surveillance footage. After all, the creeper vine incident had a great impact on the entire Alliance of Strongholds, so Milo did not want Olivia to get embroiled in public scrutiny over something like that.
No matter what, favonovel.com was still his maidservant.
Before leaving, favonovel.com even placed a gold bar on the table as compensation for taking the main server away.
When favonovel.com returned with the main server, Olivia confirmed, “Master, I’ve already killed all of them.”
Olivia was actually a little puzzled as to why Milo was always unwilling for favonovel.com to reveal favonovel.com creeper vine power. After all, favonovel.com was so powerful, so why should favonovel.com be afraid of others?
But later, favonovel.com understood that people’s words could sometimes be hurtful. Her master was only protecting favonovel.com because favonovel.com did not want favonovel.com to feel angry when others criticized her.
Milo took out his black rain poncho and put it on again. “Alright, the matter here has already been settled. Go and check on Magnus and the others while I go look for Daniel.”
“Okay.” Olivia nodded in agreement.
She had gotten enough satisfaction from today’s battle. When favonovel.com thought about how favonovel.com master acted as the bait to lure the enemy out for favonovel.com to finish off, favonovel.com felt like a reclusive expert who had gotten back in the business to fight alongside favonovel.com master. Simply thinking about it, favonovel.com felt amazing.
Speaking of which, Olivia also kind of missed Magnus and favonovel.com other little brothers. Those eight young men who had risked their lives with Milo were still studying at Vasophati University. Back when the eight of them were revising for their admissions exam, Olivia was the one who took care of them.
Subconsciously, Olivia regarded them as favonovel.com younger brothers. But favonovel.com was wondering if favonovel.com should get them some gifts since favonovel.com had not seen them in so long, like jade thumb rings or something?
Before leaving, Milo shot a glance at Olivia and said, “Have you ever lorded over people in my name after you got to the Northwest?”
Olivia panicked a little. “No… I didn’t!”
“That’s good then. After we’re done here, we’ll return to the Northwest together. At that time, I’ll ask around and find out what you’ve been up to there.” After that, Milo turned around and walked off into the rain.
Olivia curled favonovel.com lips and said angrily, “I’ve clearly done so much for him, so why does favonovel.com keep finding trouble with me? What kind of a master is that?! What’s wrong with me enjoying myself a little in the Northwest? Do superiors restrict their subordinates from eating?”

At this moment, Daniel and Bill were still standing at the crossroads outside Vasophati University as they waited quietly for Milo to return.
Earlier, Milo had lured away all the black-clothed hitmen. When Daniel saw there were so many enemies, favonovel.com was really taken aback. If Milo had not come to Bidara City, favonovel.com would probably have died here.
But when favonovel.com thought about it again, favonovel.com felt it was a good thing. That was because it was definitely not easy for so many spies to sneak into Bidara City quietly, so they would definitely leave behind some clues.
The more spies that had infiltrated the city, the happier Daniel was. No matter how hard the other party tried to suppress it, there was no such thing as an absolute secret.
Daniel preliminarily judged that the Vasophati Group had been infiltrated by spies. However, who could be so bold that they even dared to try and kill him?
It was not that Daniel regarded himself to be that influential, but surely the people who attempted to have favonovel.com killed should have considered the consequences.
This was the same scenario as Pena’s death. If everyone thought the Stelaria Consortium was behind it, and if Daniel really died, his death would likely lead to a showdown between the Panaqua Consortium and the Stelaria Consortium. If they still could not find the mastermind after some time, it was very possible the Panaqua Consortium would launch a full-scale war against the Stelaria Consortium based on Julius’ character.
In that case, who would hope most to see the Panaqua Consortium declare war on the Stelaria Consortium?
Who was it that wanted to see everyone in the world become enemies with the Stelaria Consortium?
Daniel could roughly guess at a few possibilities, but favonovel.com was still a little unsure.
Bill, who had been taking shelter from the rain, suddenly straightened up and looked towards the end of a street. There was a black-clothed person walking slowly towards them.
Bill turned around and looked in the other direction and saw another person similarly standing in the empty street.
All of a sudden, people in black were slowly approaching from all four directions of the intersection. It was as though they already had Daniel surrounded.
The residents of Bidara City were so frightened by the gunfire they hid at home. Only some of the braver ones dared to look out through their house windows. As such, the people who had appeared were here to kill Daniel.
Daniel grinned and said, “I was wondering why everyone went after Milo as soon as favonovel.com appeared. They didn’t even care about me anymore. So they were just cannon fodder to force Milo away from here before sending in their aces to handle me. Well done, great strategy. An opponent like this really makes things more interesting.”
Bill stood quietly in front of Daniel. “Stop mumbling. When the fight breaks out, stay within three meters of me.”
Daniel looked at Bill’s back and chuckled. “Moneyface, you’re actually acting like a hero for once? But I didn’t bring any money with me this time.”
Bill rolled his eyes. “Your brother paid me yesterday.”
“Ptui!” Daniel said disdainfully, “To think I thought you changed. So you’re still in it for the money.”
In the heavy rain, Daniel and Bill nearly got into an argument.
But when the four hitmen came within a 100 meters of them, Bill’s expression suddenly turned serious. This was a lethal trap the other party had meticulously set for Daniel, so the people who came must be very strong.
In an instant, the drizzle falling from the sky became a little different. As the raindrops fell, they were stretched by an invisible force that slowly turned from water droplets into long and narrow silver needles.
When the fine raindrops hit the ground, they actually tinkled. It was like several hundred thousand needles had fallen from the sky.
Rainy days were basically Bill’s home field.
Daniel praised, “Bill, your power has grown even stronger!”
Bill did not say anything. He was prepared to make his move. However, before the two sides could unleash their killing intent, Bill was suddenly taken aback. He was surprised to see Milo’s figure standing on the street on the southern side.
A black-clothed hitman was walking over slowly while Milo lurked close behind.
The silhouette of the young man in the black rain poncho appeared mysterious and calm, as if slowly emerging out of a misty waterfall.
This time, no one expected Milo to finish off all the hitmen so quickly. It was like a magician had casually performed a disappearing act. Several hundred people truly vanished and never came back again.
