“I request that Lord Azure Fang exin clearly!” the man replied after a moment of hesitation. “If Miss Harvey truly has a problem, we’ll leave immediately.”


    “Do you treat SHADOW as a public restroom? Youe and go as you please?” Azure Fang said with a faint smile.


    “What do you mean?” The man was puzzled again.


    “If you really want me to tell you what crime She Harvey hasmitted, I can do that. However, once I disclose it, everyone present will be considered obstructing SHADOWw enforcement, and ording to SHADOW regtions, you will be treated as aplices. So, you’d better think carefully if you want to hear it!”


    “You…” The man hesitated again, then exchanged nces with the other three, each showing a hint of doubt in their eyes.


    “Azure Fang, don’t y games here. Release She now, or don’t me me for not being polite!” At this moment, Den furrowed his brow and spoke in a threatening voice.


    “What’s your decision? Have you thought it through?” Azure Fang ignored the other side and continued to address the four men.


    “You scoundrel!” Den’s tone grew stern as he raised his hand.


    “Listen up, everyone. If we don’t see She within three minutes, we’ll search this entire ce thoroughly. Even if we have to turn this estate upside down, we’ll find her!”


    “Understood!” the thousand men responded simultaneously.


    “Quite audacious, aren’t you?” Azure Fang narrowed his eyes slightly. Then, his tone turned serious. “Take down Den Harvey, and anyone who obstructs us, eliminate them!”


    “Yes, sir!” Hundreds of SHADOW men shouted in unison and immediately moved.


    “You’re asking for trouble!” Den roared, then raised his hand again. “Attack!”


    Except for the two elderly men behind Den Harvey and his sister, the thousand men from the Harvey n brandished their weapons and charged toward the SHADOW guards. In the next moment, the courtyard erupted into a fierce battle.


    “You bunch of fools who don’t know your limits, if you want to die, I’ll grant your wish!” Daniel Schuller scowled and exchanged a nce with Christopher Wardle. They both wielded their curved swords and lunged forward.


    They conjured a cold aura with a wave of their hands, immediately taking down five or six men.


    “Damn it!” the elder behind Janice Harvey roared as he dashed forward.


    “Don’t rush. I’m your opponent.” Michael Hornig said as he stepped forward, his curved de radiating a cold light as he struck.


    “Get lost!” The elder man roared again and struck Michael’s de with his palm.


    Boom!


    After a muffled sound, the two men each retreated six or seven steps, evenly matched.


    “Huh?” The elder man didn’t expect Michael to push him back so far. His brows furrowed, and his aura surged once more. He coldly said, “Impressive, let’s see if you can handle my next move.”


    “You old fool, another hundred moves, if you dare!” Michael responded without hesitation and charged forward again.


    The two of them shed once more, each exerting their full strength, and for a while, it was impossible to determine the victor. Meanwhile, Azure Fang and Stout approached Den Harvey and his sister with steady steps. They took a brief look at the men brought by the Harvey n and knew that they wouldn’t be a match for SHADOW, so they had no intention of intervening.


    “Azure Fang, I’m warning you. If you continue down this path, I guarantee you’ll be out of your governor position next month.” Den Harvey furrowed his brow and spoke angrily.


    “huh?” Azure Fang coldly retorted. “You better think about whether you’ll see the sun tomorrow.”


    “You’re really brazen!” Den snorted. “Not just you, even the person above you wouldn’t dare speak to me like this.”


    “You’re truly foolish!” Stout gave him a disdainful look. “I have no idea where you find your confidence.”


    “Who are you to speak here?” one of the government officials behind Den yelled at Stout with a stern tone. But as soon as hepleted the sentence, a powerful gust of wind swept by, and he immediately fell to the ground, groaning in pain.


    “You…!” Another man’s face darkened.


    “If you utter one more word, do you believe I’ll cut you down?” Azure Fang’s wrist flicked, drawing a curved de from his side.


    Sensing the icy killing intent emanating from Azure Fang, the man immediately closed his mouth. Although his cultivation was not weak, he dared not challenge Azure Fang.


    “We gave you four a chance earlier. Since you refuse to leave, then stay!” Azure Fang dered, his gaze fixed on Den Harvey.


    “Mr Harvey, are you surrendering, or should I assist you?”


    “Azure Fang, do you think you’re invincible? What gives you the right to arrest me?” Den responded angrily.


    “What gives me the right?” Azure Fang sneered coldly. “Do you think your actions in Nanrania have gone unnoticed? You’re too naive!”


    “What… What do you mean?” Den’s pupils slightly contracted, and Janice also furrowed her brow.


    Both of them were taken aback by Azure Fang’s sudden mention of this matter, and a sense of unease crept over them. The matters between the Harvey n and Nanrania were no small issue. If they were exposed, the entire n would be in deep trouble.


    “You’ll soon find out what I mean.” Azure Fang replied coldly.


    “Azure Fang, you better not go too far. In Celestiford, your SHADOW hasn’t reached the point where you can rule everything.” Janice retorted coldly.


    “You should pray for your own well-being.” Azure Fang chuckled coldly. “If you were involved in the dirty affairs between the Harvey n and Nanrania, you’ll have to fend for yourselves.”


    “Huh?”


    The four government officials’ faces changed several times as they heard this. Although they weren’t entirely sure what had happened between the Harvey n and Nanrania, Azure Fang’s mention of it made them realize it was a significant matter. Without much thought, the four of them exchanged nces and then turned to head towards the courtyard gate.


    “Now you want to leave? It’s toote!” Azure Fang said with a cold tone. “Without my permission, none of you are leaving this courtyard today!”


    “Azure Fang, you’re pushing your luck. I don’t believe you’ll dare to attack us!” one of the men responded angrily. While speaking, they continued walking toward the gate.


    “If Azure Fang says so, don’t you understand?” Stout spoke lightly, then swept a palm strike.


    “You dare to attack me! You’re seeking death!” The man didn’t take Stout seriously and struck back with his palm.


    Boom!


    With a muffled sound, the man was sent flying and fell to the ground, coughing up blood before going limp. Hissing sounds came from the other three men as they witnessed this scene. Clearly, they hadn’t expected Stout to possess such skill.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    “Elder, take action!” Den shouted, and Elder Thornen behind him responded loudly, channeling his full strength and following suit.


    On the other hand, Janice wasn’t idle either; her aura soared as she unleashed a series of powerful gusts of wind with her hand.
