The City Lord's Mansion was brightly lit, and the staff members were walking quickly with serious expressions.
"My Lord, this is the fifth letter." An official walked quickly into the meeting room and presented a letter.
The meeting room was filled with people. There were officials from the City Lord's Mansion and people from the Gray Temple. They all looked very serious and angry.
Their gazes landed on the letter. There were already four similar letters in front of Michael. Because of these four letters, they were woken up from their sleep and rushed to the City Lord's Mansion immediately.
This was a rare fifth-grade incident.
Michael tore open the envelope of the fifth letter with a grave expression. A staff member ran in quickly, and said loudly, "My Lord, the fourth team has sent back news. They found 51 kidnapped children and 23 suspected human traffickers. All of them were killed before the fourth team arrived! Apart from a few who were just sent to the den, the rest of the children present all had different degrees of disabilities. According to the children, the person who saved them was a man in black. There was only one person. "
"There are more than 50 children again!"
The expressions of everyone in the meeting room changed slightly. They were already unable to suppress their anger.
In less than an hour, the City Lord's Mansion received four letters with four addresses. By the time the City Lord's Mansion's people arrived, all of them were dens of human traffickers. There were already more than a hundred children in total.
These human traffickers were so savage that it made one's hair stand on end!
And what they did to the children made people want to burn their bones and scatter their ashes.
"Who exactly is that man in black?"
Everyone was also curious about the man in black who caused this incident. He was completely in charge of today's incident. Even the City Lord's Mansion could only be considered as a side character.
How did he know about the human traffickers' dens hidden in the slums and deep alleys by himself? And he could always kill all the human traffickers and leave before the people from the Gray Temple arrived.
Michael pulled out the fifth letter with a sullen expression. There was also only one address and a sentence on the letter. "Human traffickers' den. Take the children away."
Michael passed the letter to the secretary beside him, and said in a low voice, "Order the fifth team to set off. All the staff from the City Lord's Mansion and the Gray Temple are over. Inform all the medical staff and magic casters who know healing magic to gather at the City Lord's Mansion immediately. Bring the children back and do your best to provide them with treatment."
"Yes." The secretary general turned around and left quickly.
Michael turned to the officials present, and shook his head as he said, "I'm very disappointed. So many children have been treated so cruelly right under your noses, but you've been able to turn a blind eye to it all these years? If it weren't for the letters that were sent to the city lord's castle today, would you still think that you've made Chaos City peaceful? "
The officials fell silent and lowered their eyes.
"City Lord, this is the fault of the Gray Temple," an official of the Gray Temple said as he stood up in shame.
"No, this is the fault of the city lord's castle and the Gray Temple." Michael shook his head. He slammed his fist onto the table, and gravely said, "No matter how many more letters will be sent to the city lord's castle tonight, and how many more children that unknown hero will save, I want all of you to uproot all the human traffickers in Chaos City at all costs. Save all the children, and catch all the human traffickers!"
"I want all the 10th-tier magic casters to cooperate and move out. This is the city lord's token, codename: Operation Daisy."
Michael bent over and wrote two lines of words on the paper. Then, he took out a city lord's seal and stamped it.
After that, Meg looked at that Gray Temple official, and said, "Go back and inform Lord Rolan that we need the cooperation of the Gray Temple and the city lord's castle for this operation."
"Yes!" that official replied, and quickly walked towards the door.
"I hope all of you can end all of this before daybreak. Otherwise, the remaining children will be in extreme danger." Michael handed the city lord's token to that official standing beside him. The city lord's castle and Gray Temple officials present all stood up and walked out of the conference room.
This was a war. A war to save the abducted children!
The city lord's secretary returned to the conference room, and walked to Michael's side. He softly said, "City Lord, these letters were sent to the city lord's castle by passersby. They don't know what's in the letters. Perhaps there are still passersby on the way to deliver the letters. If we leave in advance and find these passersby, we might be able to find out the next destination of that man in black."
"There's no need for that." Michael raised his hand, and shook his head. "This is obviously all part of his plan. Tonight, the city lord's castle and the Gray Temple will not be able to do better than him. Let him do whatever he wants. What we have to do is to bring the children back safely, and do our best to treat them. Also, get rid of all the human traffickers that are not part of his plan. "
The secretary nodded thoughtfully.
…
"W-who are you …?"
The 7th-tier demon grabbed the longsword that had pierced through his chest, and knelt in front of the man in black unwillingly.
"A father."
Meg pulled out his longsword, and cut off the demon's 10 fingers. He looked at the children in the black cages at the side, and gently said, "You are saved."
Footsteps could be heard from outside the courtyard. Meg put away his longsword, and leaped out of the small courtyard, and disappeared into the darkness again.
He hid on a withered tree not far away, and looked at the small courtyard that was lit up by the torches. He also heard the shouts from the people from the city lord's castle and the Gray Temple. The children were released from the metal cages, and then blindfolded or carried out of the small courtyard. They boarded the horse-drawn carriages that were already prepared, and drove towards the city lord's castle.
Seven lairs, 150 human traffickers, and 342 children. Although they might not be wiped out in one go, from today onwards, there shouldn't be any more human traffickers in Chaos City. Meg threw the longsword that he had rented from the system casually. The system kept it automatically, and a strong sense of fatigue hit him.
His hands were already sore from chopping 150 logs, let alone killing 150 human traffickers. Among them were two 7th-tier demons and one orc.
I hope City Lord Michael won't disappoint me. Meg took another look at that courtyard, and then leaped onto a roof at the side, and headed towards the Aden Square.
Along the way, Meg avoided a few groups of people from the city lord's castle and the Gray Temple. Among them, he sensed the aura of a few 10th-tier magic casters, which surprised and comforted him at the same time.
After returning to the restaurant, Meg got the system to recycle the black clothes. He took a shower carefully to wash away the smell of blood on his body, and then changed into his pajamas and lay on the bed.
The nausea from killing too many people made it difficult for him to sleep, but he didn't regret it. As a father, when he saw those children who were crippled, he only had one thought in his mind — all human traffickers deserved to die!
Meg sat up, and looked at Amy, who was sleeping soundly on the little bed. The little one was hugging Ugly Duckling's neck with a faint smile on her face, as if she was having a sweet dream. Meg's heart gradually calmed down, and a smile appeared on his face.
