Chapter 899
The security guard glanced at Luna Lance, his expression screaming that despite her flashy designer clothes, she was incredibly stingy.
Luna was practically fuming.
As a wealthy heiress, she could easily scrape together a few million dollars. But why donate it when she could spend it on jewelry and designer bags for herself?
That evening when she got home, Mira detailed the situation with the Ghost-Needle to Master Ellis and Owen.
“Are they really that arrogant? Do they think we’re pushovers?
I’m going to the Balkan Underworld myself to wipe those bastards out p>
Master Ellis immediately started packing his bags. He was a man of action.
“No, you can’t go,” Mira said, hurriedly grabbing his arm. “Hank went there last year and barely made it back alive p>
“You really shouldn’t go,” Owen added, frowning. “It’s not just some ordinary place. The criminal syndicates there are powerful and deeply entrenched. Even the police can’t touch them p>
“Just because the police are helpless doesn’t mean I am,” Master Ellis said stubbornly.
“Trust me, I’ll figure this out,” Owen said, desperate to put the old man’s mind at
ease.
“Just keep an eye on things here in Aethelgard. Foreign criminals would need a safe house when they arrive.
There’s no way they could evade the police and local factions without an insider’s help p>
“What can you possibly do? Mira can’t be put in danger again.” She might have dodged a bullet once or twice, but what about a third time?
“Don’t worry, my instincts are sharp. I can sense danger before a killer even makes a move.
By the way, right after I encountered the assassin today, I looked up and saw Luna and Seraphina nearby.” Mira bit her lip.
“My gut tells me they’re involved.
You should keep an eye on Lawrence’s family p>
“Do Luna and Seraphina even have the capability to take you on?” Master Ellis asked, confused.
“They couldn’t take me in a fight, but they could definitely leak my whereabouts to the assassins and point me out p>
“That’s outrageous. I’ll kill them,” Master Ellis snarled through clenched teeth.
“No need, getting rid of them would only dirty our hands.
They’ll get what’s coming to them. Just wait and see,” Mira said.
“Fine, we’ll do it your way. I’ll have someone monitor the situation in Aethelgard.” Master Ellis looked at Owen “As for the Balkan
Underworld make your arrangements quickly p>
“You can count on me p>
After Master Ellis went to his room to rest, Mira and Owen headed to the study to
work, just like they always did.
“Owen, were you planning to use government resources?
The situation there is incredibly complex. The police have gone over multiple times but f failed to clean up the Balkan Underworld, losing a lot of good people in the process p>
Mobilizing national forces would drain immense manpower and
funding, not to mention the net
diplomatic fallout. One wrong move, and it could trigger a war.
Unless it was a critical emergency, the Mavaria Procurement Board wouldn’t authorize a strike.
“I’ll call Dominic first and see what he thinks.
The number of missing persons cases has been spiking everywhere. It’s becoming
a massive public safety threat.
The Balkan Underworld has to be dismantled sooner or later,” Owen said.
“What if we joined forces?
Your master’s network, his friends, Hank’s connections, and the police providing backup.” Mira looked at him.
These weren’t just a few rogue criminals or a small gang. It was a massive, deeply rooted syndicate.
They had infiltrated multiple countries, committing unspeakable atrocities.
Taking them down wouldn’t be easy.
“Also,” she added, “I want to call James and ask for his help p>
