Harold’s deputy, Andre Cull, arrived at the military headquarters. He exited the cab and presented his credentials before following the soldiers into the area.He told Raymond, who had rushed over after hearing the news, “Inform Lieutenant Linford about this now. Tell him it’s an emergency. Adrian likely has Mr. Xayne’s wife and daughter. Adrian also has Chief Harold now.”Raymond was shocked, exclaiming, “What?! Are you sure?!”“We’re still unsure about Mr. Xayne’s wife and daughter. However, I was there when Adrian’s men took Chief Harold. If we don’t handle this issue properly, it’ll lead to a major crisis.” Andre was tense and fearful as he spoke.Raymond understood the severity of the situation and was equally distressed. He said, “Adrian has gone too far. His actions could lead to a conflict between the Patrol Enforcement Division and the military theater.”Andre anxiously urged, “We can’t worry about that now. Where’s Lieutenant Linford? We need him to step in because only

Adrian’s aura was overwhelming. He was no longer the Adrian that Ethan once knew. After some thought, Adrian said, “Relay a message to them, will you? I’ll let things slide with the family.“However, I’ll invite them to my inauguration. I’ll list my conditions on the ceremony day. It’ll be fine if they comply.”Ethan smiled fawningly, saying, “That’s kind of you, General Adrian. No, Lieutenant Adrian! Allow me to congratulate you in advance. Shalholm will belong to you soon.”Adrian smirked with a sharp gaze.Ethan left the Lennings’ residence soon after and called Sophia, “I’ve taken care of things for you. How will you thank me?”Sophia was around her family, who craned their necks to listen to her conversation. She had already put the call on speaker as she asked, “How’d you do it? What are General Adrian’s conditions?”Ethan sat in his car and replied, “Did you forget who I am? General Adrian and I are good buddies! He said he’ll invite your family to his inauguration ceremon

Harold found himself under house arrest by Adrian. It seemed the Lennings held all the cards in Venzor.'Is Adrian aiming for a power grab?'Chuck took a deep breath and said, “We can only wait for Mr. Xayne or Lieutenant Linford to arrive. Business at the company will resume as usual. Get a team to gather information on all Lenning family movements.“Dispatch someone to the military headquarters. If Adrian has taken Commander Raymond, inform the headquarters and have them seal off the Lennings’ residence.”The secretary nodded and left the office. Chuck approached the floor-to-ceiling window and gazed at the bustling traffic below. There was a trace of worry in his eyes.'Mr. Xayne, where are you? Venzor may be in for chaos!'…Venzor appeared deceptively calm over the last two days. However, a storm was brewing behind the scene. Two days ago, officers from the Patrol Enforcement District demanded Chief Harold’s return, only for Adrian's guards to subdue them.They also stripp

Kendall commanded, “Since you refuse to reveal Xayne’s whereabouts, you give me no choice! Throw them into the cage and take them away.”Two soldiers shoved the mother and daughter into the massive cage. Serena desperately clung to the iron bars, screaming, “Please save my daughter! She’s losing consciousness!”She wailed and bashed her head against the bars in her plea. However, Kendall ignored her. The latter scoffed and ordered the four soldiers to carry the cage out of the small warehouse.Meanwhile, Coco lay in the cage, struggling to open her eyes. She weakly clutched her mother’s clothes and whispered, “I-I’m okay, Mommy. Cough, I’m not hurting. Please don’t cry, Mommy.”Coco’s words were heart-wrenching, causing Serena to feel utterly guilty. She lifted Coco into her arms and held her in one corner of the cage. Serena’s eyes brimmed with tears as she bit her lower lip.She wiped away Coco’s tears and reassured her, “Okay, I won’t cry. You must be strong, baby. Your daddy w

Ring, ring!The ringing broke the silence, further intensifying the atmosphere. Warren answered the call with a fierce look in his eyes, demanding, “Speak!”“Sir, Lieutenant Linford was in a meeting at the provincial capital. He left for Venzor half an hour ago. According to the Drakonia Intelligence Agency, Adrian Lenning had detained Harold Saun two days ago.“Commander Raymond has also been detained for carrying heavy weaponry intended for Adrian Lenning.” The messenger’s heart raced as he relayed this information.Warren asked, “What else?”The Dragon Network intelligence operative continued, “Before this, Adrian’s sister, Kendall Lenning, led a group to remove some Swift family members from the Venzor General Hospital. The family members include Tony Swift, Violet Duncan, Serena Swift, and her daughter, Coco.”Warren roared, “They even took Serena and Coco?!”Hammond and the other elders were shocked. They rose from their seats and stared at Warren.“Y-Yes, Mr. Warren. Is
