Chapter 481 - Quick Actions (1/2)

On the other side of things.

While Lu Xuan was having a great time with his family, the entire Human Alliance was still reeling from the shock resulting from a string of news about that great battle, Lu Xuan still being alive, as well as the forces of the Myriad Demon Valley siding with the humans.

The forces of both the Heavenly Palace and the Special Task Force were mobilized before anyone else knew anything about it.

Using the identity of that Caucasian old man as the lead, the investigations looking into the circle behind that man quickly commenced.

On that night, in a lavish estate in the west side of the place formerly known as the US, the owner of the estate—a man who looked to be in his 50s and dressed in middle ages attire and sported an immaculate hairstyle—was seen standing inside.

That thick, cold air that emanated from his being was unmistakable.

“Sh**, sh**! How could this possibly be? How could this fail? No, I must leave at once!”

That Caucasian man wore a glum expression as he made his decision, that he needed to leave as soon as possible to evade the backlash that was to come.

Boom!

The door of the hall he was in was kicked down all of a sudden and a group of people were seen storming inside.

“Adam Smith, you’re under arrest.”

The leader of the group was an Asian man who looked to be in his middle age, who spoke in fluent Huaxian, and never bothered worrying if that Caucasian man he was about to arrest not understanding what he said.

“What are you people up to?” The expression of the face of that Caucasian man who was known as Adam Smith change, as he replied in Huaxian right away.

“I take it that you’re Huaxians? You’ve no right to arrest me. This is American soil!” That man shouted, “This is preposterous!”

“American soil? Do you really think that you’re still living in the era of the United Nations? This is the soil of the Human Alliance and we of the Heavenly Palace serve under the Human Alliance. We’re empowered to enforce the law and we know what we’re doing.” That Asian man then continued with a smirk, with a toothpick sticking out of his mouth. “You’re busted now. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court? Well, that was how they say it in the TV shows I watched as a kid, hehe.”

“You lot have a lot of balls plotting against our palace lord indeed. I’d make sure to cut you open later and see what is inside that gut of yours.” That Asian man continued with a cold smirk. The look in his eyes was so unmistakably cold, that one would not have expected him to say something so lighthearted.

He knew what he would be dealing with before he got on with the mission.

He knew that someone was plotting against their palace lord. All those hellspawns unleashed in the hundreds of thousands were meant to take out the Yunxuan Villa.

The Yunxuan Villa was the backing of the Heavenly Palace, and destroying the villa meant taking out the Heavenly Palace’s foundations as well. As such, everyone from the Heavenly Palace was very on edge at the moment.

Lu Xuan was no doubt like a god in their eyes, and they did not take kindly to anyone who was trying to mess with their god.

Those people then learned of the schemers’ evil intentions, that the latter was trying to turn the entire Fu City, even the Min Province or even the entire southern side of Huaxia into a purgatory.

All that was done just so that the Regions of America and Europe were able to catch up with a severely crippled Huaxia.

If it had not been for Lu Xuan appearing in the nick of time and stopping the invaders with the forces of the Myriad Demon Valley, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

That Asian man’s fury was boiling inside at that thought.

That Caucasian man that he saw right in front of him, was one of the culprits after all.

Adam Smith eyed the squad from the Heavenly Palace before him that showed up all of the sudden, with eyes that glittered with an unmistakable cold glint. Despite knowing that such a day would come after the battle that took place the night before happened, he nonetheless never expected retribution to come knocking that quickly.

“You people are really thinking too highly of yourselves, if you think that you’re just going to take me in like that!”

A low-pitched, bassy grumble was heard from Adam Smith, as if he was roaring like a beast.
