Hearing that favonovel.com was about to be locked up, Dumbo shouted anxiously, “Captain Dole, favonovel.com may be ignorant, but you wouldn’t follow in his footsteps, right? If Dragon King Well finds out that you locked me up, your job will be in danger!”
Aaron scowled upon hearing this. He kicked Dumbo in the chest and Dumbo fell on his back.
Aaron then said, “Dumbo Lane, don’t be cocky with me. If not for Dragon King Well, I’d have taken you down long ago!”
“Guards, bring them back! Also, tell the relevant departments to seize all of Dumbo Lane’s businesses and manpower!”
“Yes, sir!” With a roar, the guards detained Dumbo and dozens of his men.
Dumbo struggled and shouted, “Aaron Dole, you’re finished! If Dragon King Well finds out, let’s see how you’ll explain it!”
Looking at the dozens of people who were taken away, Aaron turned to Philip with a worried look on his face and asked, “Young Patriarch Clarke, what should we do next? Dragon King Well isn’t an easy person to deal with. Anyone who messes with favonovel.com will surely suffer his retaliation.”
Philip put his hands in his trouser pockets and thought about it.
As soon as favonovel.com arrived at Mystic City, so many things happened. It was amazing.
“Let’s do this. Tell your men to keep an eye on Dragon King Well. Let me know if anything crops up,” Philip said.
He wanted to discuss this with Fennel and the others. After all, they had planned to act with caution, but it seemed impossible now. These intricate forces were really hard to handle.
Aaron said, “Okay, I’ll leave a team here to protect you.”
Philip nodded, turned around, and went upstairs.
Fennel walked out at this moment and asked, “What’s going on? Why are the city guards here?”
Philip smiled and said, “It’s nothing. The teacher has arranged for these people to be at my disposal.”
Fennel nodded and asked, “Did I hear something about Dragon King Well just now?”
Philip nodded and told Fennel and the others about what happened. Everyone was solemn after listening.
“Young Patriarch, let me go. I’ll bring you the head of Dragon King Well!” 17 got up and was ready to go out.
Philip quickly stopped favonovel.com and said, “Don’t be rash. We know too little about Mystic City now, including the people and other things. If we cause any unnecessary trouble, it won’t be beneficial to the purpose of our trip.”
“What should we do, then?”
Philip thought about it and said, “We wait and see.”
***
The line of sight shifted to a rather luxurious villa in Mystic City. The villa looked like an ancient palace, imposing and extravagant. Golden bricks and tiles were enough to symbolize the identity and status of the owner of this villa. Moreover, there were many statues of gods in the courtyard.
At this moment, a team of guards in yellow-brown combat uniforms stepped into the yard.
The leader walked into the golden hall full of statues, knelt on one knee to the slender middle-aged man who was burning incense, and said, “Dragon King, we just received news that Dumbo Lane was arrested by Aaron Dole’s people. Moreover, all the properties and forces under his name have been seized.”
The middle-aged man in a black suit with gold-rimmed glasses and a small mustache looked very wise. He bowed to the golden statue, turned around, took a white towel from the female guard, and wiped his hands. He pushed the frame of his glasses and asked in a refined voice, “Have you found out why?”
The guard with one knee on the floor said, “Dumbo Lane had a conflict with a stranger. Aaron Dole went over and took Dumbo away. According to our men, Aaron was quite respectful to the stranger.”
The middle-aged man asked with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, “What’s his name?”
“Philip Clarke,” the guard replied.
Hearing that, the middle-aged man walked to the door of the main hall with his hands behind his back, looked up at the blue sky, and said, “Very well. It’s good that he’s here so that I don’t have to look for him.”
