Chapter 10 Wipe Them Out
Meanwhile, in the outskirts to the east of Jacaster, there lay a magnificent mansion.
It was nestled amidst verdant hills on three sides, with a serene lake gracing its front. The location was superb and undoubtedly blessed with good geomancy omen.
At this moment, on the couch in the mansion's main hall sat a middle-aged man, engrossed in a card game.
“There's bad news, Howard! Terrible news!” Just then, Grover dashed in, looking utterly disheveled. His words were frantic, his demeanor a mix of panic and fear.
However, Howard acted like he hadn't heard anything, finishing his card game. Only then did he exhale heavily, finally climbing down from the couch.
“What's up, Grover? What got you so flustered?” Howard calmly sat on the couch and lit a cigarette, asking casually.
Grover glanced at the beauty on the couch and gulped, his heart filled with envy and admiration.
However, he also knew this was not the moment to feast his eyes. He quickly relayed what had just happened.
“One person took on all of you? And even managed to stop an excavator with just one hand?” Howard asked.
Grover replied, “Yes! I was nearly scared out of my wits back then.”
“Do you take me for a fool? Do you even know what an excavator is used for? It can break through not only flesh and blood but even concrete. Could a human body stop an excavator?” Howard said coldly.
If I believe such nonsense, pigs might fly!
“Howard, I'm telling the truth! The absolute truth!” Grover nervously explained, but Howard wouldn't believe him, which sent him into a wave of fear.
If Howard thinks I'm lying, the consequences will undoubtedly be severe!
Just then, the mansion's front door was kicked open from the outside with a loud bang.
Immediately after, Finneas walked in with a composed expression.
“It's him, Howard, it's him! See? We didn't lie to you, did we?” Grover's expression instantly lit up with joy upon seeing that Finneas had followed him.
Finneas' arrival not only validated their recent conversation, but with Howard there, he could also seek his revenge.
“Hmm? I didn't expect anyone to dare to come!”
Howard lounged on the couch, a cigarette idly held between his fingers, watching Finneas enter with an air of nonchalance.
With a wave of his hand, dozens of bodyguards dressed in black emerged from all directions, swiftly forming a tight circle around Finneas.
“Go and bring an excavator here. I want to see this person try to stop one with his bare hands.”
Before Finneas could speak, Howard casually waved his hand again.
“Right away, Howard!”
A bodyguard dressed in black cast a disdainful glance at Finneas before preparing to leave to drive the excavator.
However, no sooner had he taken a step than Finneas swatted him away. He was thrown forcefully to the ground, lifeless as could be!
This sudden turn of events instantly caused the entire room to fall silent.
Everyone's eyes narrowed slightly. They hadn't expected Finneas to be so audacious. Despite being surrounded, he still dared to strike and kill!
“Indeed, you've got some skills! Brat, where do you hail from?” Howard stood up, asking coldly.
He refused to believe that someone capable of killing without batting an eye could be just an ordinary resident to be relocated.
Moreover, anyone who could kill with a single strike was undoubtedly trained.
“Are you from Trident Gang?” Finneas asked.
“Indeed, I am Howard Zelkova, the third leader of Trident Gang,” Howard replied icily.
Finneas threw him another question. “Where is the headquarters of Trident Gang?”
This time, Howard didn't respond. Instead, he gave Finneas a profound look.
What is this young man's intention? He barged in here alone. Did he think he could defeat my group of fifty or sixty men?
“Do you hold a grudge against Trident Gang?” he asked.
“I'm the one asking the question. Where is Trident Gang's headquarters?” Once more, Finneas asked calmly.
“Screw this! Who does he think he is? Grab that punk for me, I'll teach him a lesson about showing off in my presence!” Howard ordered, sneering.
Upon hearing the command, dozens of bodyguards immediately swarmed in, their faces fierce and menacing. They wore wicked smiles, looking at Finneas as if he were nothing more than a clown.
Finneas appeared indifferent as he unleashed the Supreme Sword Art. A three-foot-long sword materialized out of thin air in his hand.
Without Alyssa and Kelly around, there was nothing to hold back.
“Magic?” Howard was momentarily taken aback.
However, in the next moment, his eyes were wide open in shock.
Finneas simply swung his sword gently, and an invisible sword energy spread out, enveloping the dozens of bodyguards closing in. In an instant, they were all slain on the spot.
Blood was everywhere on the ground!
The once magnificent mansion had seemingly transformed into hell at that moment.
“Argh!”
“Ahhh!”
Upon witnessing the scene, Howard, the woman, and Grover collapsed onto the ground, their mouths emitting terrified screams.
He had slain over fifty people with just a single flick of his sword! How... How could this be possible?
“Who... who exactly are you?” Howard looked at Finneas with trepidation as if staring at a demon.
“I'll ask you again. Where is the headquarters of Trident Gang?” With a blank expression, Finneas asked.
“I-I don't know!” Howard's voice trembled as he spoke. Then, he fell to his knees with a thud, pleading for mercy incessantly.
I'd truly never witnessed such a terrifying scene before!
He even began questioning if the young man before him was human or a deity from the heavens.
Only a deity could have slain so many people in a single breath, right?
Ignoring Howard's pleas for mercy, Finneas stepped forward and placed his hand on the former's forehead, unleashing the Secret Art - Soul Searching Technique.
This Secret Art could forcibly probe someone's memories. However, the aftermath was severe. The person whose memories were probed would undoubtedly become a complete fool afterward.
Before long, Howard's eyes rolled back, foam forming at his mouth, and he promptly fainted.
Subsequently, Finneas coldly scanned the minds of Grover and the alluring, stark-naked woman.
Unexpectedly, he discovered none of the three knew where Trident Gang's headquarters was.
This organization was shrouded in mystery, with orders being passed down layer by layer. The people at the lower levels were merely executors, completely oblivious to the bigger picture.
“Timothy Saganey,” Finneas muttered to himself.
Timothy is Howard's boss. Perhaps, by locating him, I can wipe Trident Gang out completely.
However, for Finneas, all these were trivial matters. He would find time to wipe them out when the time came.
The matter of utmost urgency was to go home and have dinner with his sister.
Nothing was more important than this matter!
After stepping out, Finneas unleashed a terrifying force from his palm with a casual flick of his right hand toward the mansion.
Bang!
The entire mansion instantly collapsed, turning into a heap of ruins.
All the remains and blood-soaked bones were buried deep beneath the ground.
