King's Awakening C.416 - : Taking Advantage of Chaos to Commit Murder?

Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Taking Advantage of Chaos to Commit Murder?

The next day, as usual, the sun slowly rose from the horizon; but the ancient city of Capital City, standing steadfast for thousands of years, had undergone earth-shattering changes.

On the streets and roads, warriors dressed in white battle garments stood solemnly, their sharp gazes scanning the crowd one by one. Even under the blazing sun, dripping with sweat, there was no hint of carelessness.

Upon seeing this, the people of Capital City, rather than feeling unsettled, found an unusual sense of security from the presence of this group.

After a whole night of mobilising and deploying troops, White Mitchell, with a heavy heart and exhausted body, slowly returned to the hotel.

As soon as he entered, Sherry Jones warmly greeted him and asked anxiously, “What happened last night? I heard that Capital City was locked down – are you all right?”

In response, White Mitchell managed a forced smile, gently stroked Sherry’s face, and said in a hoarse voice, “It’s fine, just a small matter.”

Seeing the exhaustion on White Mitchell’s face, Sherry quietly took his hand, responding gently, “I’m glad you’re okay, brother. Rest assured, whatever happens, I’ll stand by your side.”

Upon hearing her words, White Mitchell felt a rush of warmth, mixed with a twinge of guilt.

Members of the Deathz organization were still hiding within Capital City. His status had become even more sensitive, and he couldn’t tell Sherry about it.

White Mitchell could only sigh silently and then change the subject, “What’s the news from the Jones Family? What’s your plan going forward?”

At present, Sherry was the nominal leader of the Jones Family’s third branch, but in reality, she had no real power there.

The members of the third branch were not people to be easily managed.

Furthermore, White Mitchell was uncertain as to what information the Deathz organization had uncovered and what their purpose was in Capital City.

Therefore, he was very concerned about Sherry’s situation.

“Andrea Jones sent me some information about the third branch earlier today and said that they are planning to host a welcome party tonight. At the party, she will formally announce my status and suggested that I get familiar with the members of the third branch,” Sherry answered earnestly.

At this point, White Mitchell noticed a stack of thick files on a table not too far away. Besides information about the current assets of the third branch, the files also contained information about their core members.

The information was similar to what White Mitchell had investigated before coming to Capital City.

However, some information about the connections between the third branch members and other family members was absent. He didn’t know whether Andrea had deliberately kept it from Sherry.

“It seems that Andrea Jones is testing Sherry’s abilities, or is she testing mine?” A cold glint flashed in White Mitchell’s eyes as he finished reading the files.

With Andrea’s abilities, it would be impossible for her not to have this information. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to take on her role as the Family Head.

It seemed that she might have guessed his identity and wanted to verify whether he would help Sherry.

However, doing so would undoubtedly push Sherry into an unknown danger.

Clearly, this Andrea Jones was not very honest!

In that case, it was time to teach her a lesson!

With this thought, White Mitchell directly said to Sherry, “I’ll accompany you tonight.”

Sherry initially wanted to suggest that White Mitchell rest, but as she was about to speak, White Mitchell’s phone suddenly rang.

The call was from Black Turtle.

Seeing the number displayed on his phone, White Mitchell frowned and then walked onto the balcony to take the call.

“Superior, the Northern Territory Command just received an accusation call, saying that the Robert Group recently had close contact with suspicious people. They have requested a thorough investigation.

This morning, we received a package, which contained some evidence. The accusation is also directed at the Robert Group.” Black Turtle reported and simultaneously sent the related information to White Mitchell’s phone.

“We’ve checked the number. It belongs to a regular citizen who stated that someone gave her a thousand bucks to let them use her phone for a call. After the phone call, they left.

We’ve also checked the person who delivered the package. He was a homeless man who was paid to do the job.” Black Turtle continued.

Hearing Black Turtle’s report, a cold glint appeared in White Mitchell’s eyes. Was someone trying to take advantage of the chaotic situation in Capital City so soon?

“Okay. I got it. Leave this to me. Continue to pay attention to the Deathz organization, especially those members identified by our deceased leader. Make sure to compare their characteristics. I must use their blood to pay tribute to our fallen leader!” White Mitchell instructed word by word.

After arranging things with Black Turtle, White Mitchell immediately called Sana Robert to inquire about her whereabouts.

Upon learning that Sana was currently at the office, White Mitchell informed Sherry before hurriedly leaving the hotel again.

Watching as White Mitchell hurriedly left, Sherry’s eyes flickered with a hint of concern. She had a vague suspicion about what was going on but knew that White Mitchell had his responsibilities. All she could do was try not to cause him any more trouble.

…

On the other hand, just as White Mitchell rushed to the Robert Group, in the general manager’s office at the Robert Group headquarters, a young man in a sharp suit was lounging comfortably in the boss’s chair.

In front of him stood a young woman dressed in a tight skirt.

“Is everything taken care of?” The young man asked leisurely, his words laced with a touch of jest.

The woman smiled and nodded, “Yes, everything’s done. I used someone else’s phone and had a stranger deliver the items, so the Northern Territory Command won’t be able to trace it back to us.

We’ve also placed some related evidence inside the safe in the chairman’s office. As soon as the Northern Territory Command shows up, Sana is done for, regardless of her attempts at defending herself!”

“Good job. You didn’t let me down after all these years of nurturing. You’ve worked hard all these years, staying by Sana’s side. Here’s your payment, and there will be a bonus once the job is done.” With that, the young man took out a check of five million and handed it to the woman.

Looking at the numbers on the check, the woman’s eyes lit up, “Thank you, Mr. Anthony. By the way, I’ve heard that Mr. Lincoln has been planning something and even contacted some people from the underworld.”

Oh?

Upon hearing this, an even brighter jest could be seen in the young man’s eyes, “Then, I better get ready. I don’t want to miss the show, haha…”

Just then, a round of argument erupted outside the room…
