Chapter 332
In Northguard City, within the Northguard Imperial Residence, the urgency painted the King of Northguard’s demeanor as he sat
restlessly in his chair. Inside, he muttered, fervently hoping that nothing untoward would transpire. At that moment, a subtle shift
in his gaze caught a series of approaching footsteps. Suddenly, a feeling of unease crept into his heart.
The warriors from the Northguard Imperial Residence, who had hastily rushed out earlier, returned in disarray.
Kneeling with a thud, one of them proclaimed anxiously, “Something terrible has happened!
“King of Northguard, Gavin has completely destroyed the Halls Palace.
“Everyone that was there is all dead, and there is not a single survivor. It was all over by the time our people arrived.”
Upon hearing this news, the King of Northguard abruptly stood up, his face turning ashen.
And he pondered, ‘What you fear always comes true. This is utterly finished now. ‘I never expected Gavin’s strength to be so
formidable.
The Halls Palace, even in Belarus, the country of the Crutosian, is well-known. ‘Doesn’t it have a robust security system that
prevents any warriors below a celestial rank from entering the compound?
‘And those genetically modified individuals that they were researching, did Gavin wipe them all out?
‘Could he really be a divine warrior?’
The King of Northguard paced about anxiously, his thoughts swirling around the person in charge of that place, the son of that
person. His heart raced, and he questioned himself, ‘What should I do now?’
Subsequently, the King of Northguard’s gaze became determined. Glaring at the kneeling warrior, he commanded, “Quickly!
“Hurry! Tell me, where are Gavin and the others right now?”
The kneeling warrior, meeting the fiery eyes of the King of Northguard, cautiously lowered his head and replied, “King of
Northguard, Gavin Clifford, and the two rescued women are heading back to Roland City at this moment.”
The King of Northguard’s eyes flashed with hostility. He bellowed, “Order the entire Northguard Army to intercept Gavin Clifford
immediately. Ensure he is captured!”
The warriors, hearing the King of Northguard’s command, were frightened. One
of them stammered, “Yes, sir!”
Afterward, the Northguard Army personnel hurriedly retreated.
At this moment, the King of Northguard collapsed into his chair, hoping that everything could still be salvaged.
Running his hand through his hair, he muttered to himself, “I need to go to the Cruto immediately.”
After saying that, the King of Northguard vanished in the blink of an eye.
Soon, the order from the King of Northguard had reached the Northguard Army.
The Northguard Army personnel ran in front of the Army and yelled in a booming voice, “The King of Northguard orders the
entire Northguard Army to listen to his commands!”
The Northguard Army, upon hearing the command, knelt simultaneously with their hands clasped and heads bowed.
Then, the Northguard Army personnel announced, “The King of Northguard orders the entire Northguard Army to block Gavin
Clifford on his way back to Roland City and make sure he is successfully detained.”
Meanwhile, the Northguard Army members, upon hearing the announcement, looked beyond bewildered. Murmuring to each
other, they said, “Even the leaders and King of Northguard are no match for Gavin Clifford. Wouldn’t we be sending ourselves to
our deaths if we go and intercept him?”
The Northguard Army representative replied, “But this is the King of Northguard’s order. Who dares to disobey?”
Having experienced Gavin’s strength before, the Northguard Army members were beginning to panic.
However, as members of the Northguard Army, they could only carry out orders. There were no other options for them to choose.
On the other side, Gavin’s vehicle was speeding along the highway.
Layla and Zoe, who were in the back seat, were sleeping soundly as they lay on Gavin’s legs.
Suddenly, Rose, who was driving the vehicle, slammed hard on the brakes, startling the two women.
Zoe jolted awake and was about to stand when a sharp scream echoed in the car. Zoe’s head had hit the roof, and she rubbed
her head, saying, “Ouch, that hurts really bad.”
Zoe’s scream startled Layla. Clutching her chest, wide-eyed, she trembled and asked, “What is happening, Gavin?
“Did something go wrong?”
Gavin, who was now wide awake, looked at Zoe and Layla, who were in complete
shock. The two ladies had just recovered from the previous scare and were hit with another one.
He frowned and coldly replied, “Something must have happened.”
Harry, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, turned to Gavin and said in a serious tone, “Reporting to the Dark Lord, it
seems we are surrounded?”
Layla and Zoe, upon hearing Harry’s words, began to panic.
They thought, ‘We had just barely escaped a life-threatening situation. How are we being surrounded again? Could it be those
people who have come to get us?
‘No, Gavin already dealt with all of them.
‘Are these people seeking revenge?’
Recalling the recent events in the palace, the two women became nervous again at this news.
Looking at Gavin, Zoe anxiously said, “Gavin, could these people be seeking revenge?
“Do they want to capture us and take us back?”
Layla, upon hearing Zoe’s words, also looked at Gavin with worry and said, “Gavin, are they really here to capture us?
“Do they want to kill us to silence us?
“What do we do now?”
Gavin looked at the two women, who were alarmed and disoriented.
Still shaken by the recent scare, they were experiencing the same feelings all over again.
Gavin gently smiled, extended his hand, and touched the heads of Zoe and Layla. He said calmly, “Do not worry, be good.
“I am here, and I will protect you.
“Stay in the car, and do not leave.”
After saying that, Gavin tidied up his clothes and exited the car with Harry and Rose.
Members of Frostpeak Dark Warriors Team D and thirty Rosebud members, who were seated in the other vehicles, also got out.
They surrounded Gavin, who stood in the middle of the group.
Gavin surveyed the surroundings and frowned slightly as he thought to himself, “Is someone trying to stir trouble for us now?
“Who has the audacity to surround us like this?
“Could it be the incompetent Northguard Army under the King of Northguard? “This caused such a huge commotion. If it were
not for the fact that I was rushing to save these two women, I would not have let him off so easily.
“He is not that skilled, but he definitely has quite a few underlings.”
Looking around at the vast number of Northguard Army tanks that were surrounding their vehicles, the situation was grim.
The area around them had turned into a solid blockade of soldiers.
Seeing the sea of Northguard Army before him, Gavin’s eyes revealed a hint of helplessness.
He thought, “What are these people thinking?
“If I do not kill them, they eagerly come to offer themselves to me.
“Since it has become like this, why don’t I fulfill their wish?”
Just as Gavin was about to raise his hand to signal his people to start the attack, a voice came from the Northguard Army
through a high-pitched megaphone, “Mr.
