Chapter 1771
At Brimmopolis, Clifford was reading the newspaper with his head lowered inside the study room within the Davier family residence.
Yanny, the butler respectfully stood in front of him. Apparently, he was reporting the news of his ex-wife to him.
He reported that Gillian had led the entire team of skillful fighters from the Goldstein family and went all out against Penny at the South.
Nheless, Clifford can''t help but frown upon hearing that Penny''s little-known bodyguard called Bay Cross had managed to make mincemeat out
of her troops.
He took away his sight from the newspaper and looked at the butler, Yanny, “What did you say? All the skillful fighters of the Goldstein family were
killed off by Penny''s noteless bodyguard?”
Yanny smiled bitterly, "Sir, I was shocked as well. However, that is the truth.” He then continued, "That bodyguard, Bay Cross came out of nowhere
but managed to defeat all the skilled fighters from the Goldstein family singlehandedly.
Clifford was displeased and recalled, “I remember that Gillian has a younger brother named n Goldstein. Additionally, he was holding a high-rank
position in the military district of the South.” He then remarked, “What is this fe doing? He just sits idly by while ignoring his sister''s predicament in
the South?
Yanny smiled wryly, "n had ordered his men to capture the soldiers who assaulted Mr. Goldstein but...”
Clifford queried, “Then what happened?”
Yanny replied in a soft voice, "However, a letter from Nathan, General of the North summoning these soldiers was received by n shortly after they
were captured. The letter stated that the North will be having a mission involving a mass of soldiers and thus, ought to recruit these soldiers to join in
the operation. Nobody is allowed to stop these soldiers. Those who don''tply will be deemed as hindrances to the military operation and have to
face the punishment meted out ording to militaryw.”
Yanny then proceeded to exin, “n had no choice but to obligately release all eighteen soldiers of the North that were captured initially.”
Clifford scoffed, "Coward! Is that all n got?
Yanny disclosed further, “When Bay killed off the entire skilled fighters of the Goldstein family, n bought an army of soldiers preparing to shoot
down him in order to help his sister settle the score. However...”
Clifford interrupted, “Don''t tell me n''s mobilized troop was also no match for Bay?”
Yanny replied, "That''s not the case. In fact, when n ordered his subordinates to shoot at Bay, Zach Hill, the Admiral from the South arrived
personally.”
Clifford was surprised, “What?”
Yanny mentioned, “Zach Hill and
that fe, Bay-Cross have
established avery good rapport. He

Clifford raged, “Why she didn''te to me after being through such a major incident? Why didn''t she even talk to me?
Yanny smiled Qitterly, “Most

Clifford snorted, “She''s been an opinionated woman her entire life!
Yanny lowered his head while saying, “Sir, she is your ex-wife after all. Moreover, Mr. Goldstein also got his “ss handed to him.”She added,
‘I guess Mr. Davier should personally intervene in this incident. Otherwise, people might really think that you are afraid of Nathan Cross.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
Clifford mulled for a while and spoke, "I thought that transferring Nathan back to the North will allow me to inflict some damage on his family."He then
added,
"s, I didn''t expect that a seemingly insignificant but extremely powerful bodyguard would suddenly appear by Penny''s side. His presence had
landed the Goldstein family in deep trouble.”
Yanny also nodded in agreement
while saying,/Bay Cross not only
possesses jaw-dropping abilities but
he even managed to establish a NN
close refationship with the South.”
Admits Zach Hill. Their rtionship

dared to offend the Goldstein family
because of him."Yanny continued,
“I think that Bay Cross is probably someane to be reckoned with.” Clifford squinted his eyes and ordered solemnly, “Yanny, go and investigate Bay
Cross personally.
“If you find out anything suspicious, report back to me immediately. Eliminate him if he is just an ordinary skillful soldier so that both Gillian and
Ceaser will be appeased.
Yanny replied, "Yes, sir. I''ll do it now.”
