Garon, Ge Reese, and Cynthia waited at the restaurant for a while. Soon, a series of black cars with a white eagle logo appeared on the side of the cars.
There were four cars in total, and they slowly stopped by the roadside. A group of policemen in black got out of the cars, each wearing a white round hat and black leather gloves. The leader was a man with a scarf around his neck. He was thin and tall, and his black windbreaker made him look even taller.
The man whispered a few words to Dale Quicksilver and the others, and then he looked at Garon from afar. He looked away after a few glances, nodded, and then got back into the car and drove slowly towards the Silversilk Castle.
Only then did Garen notice that the White Eagle, who was dressed in black, was among the people who got off the bus. He was standing with a muscular, dark-skinned man, and was now following Dale Quicksilver as they walked towards Garen.
"Their people are here. Let's go together," Garon said in a low voice. Cynthia and Ge Reese didn't say anything, and just nodded.
The three of them walked towards Dale Quicksilver's group.
"The police are here. Let's go with them," Dale Quicksilver said in a low voice with a brown pipe in his mouth. "This is Black Panther, White Eagle's sworn brother." He introduced the tanned man who was dressed like a soldier.
"Hello." Garon extended his hand and smiled at the man.
"Hello." Black Panther grinned, showing his white teeth. "Your women are not bad."
"Uh … You might be mistaken. They are my assistants and bodyguards," Garon explained in surprise. The two women behind him chuckled. "This is Cynthia, and this is Ge Reese. Cynthia is the captain of my bodyguards." He introduced them one by one.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Detective Dale's assistant, Miss Si Lan, drove a two-seater horse-drawn carriage to the side of the road unknowingly. She was waiting for everyone to get in with a smile.
"Hurry up, or we won't be able to catch up with Sergeant Rio," Miss Si Lan said loudly.
There were three people on Garon's side and four on the detective's side, so it was just enough to fill all the seats. It was unknown when, but a black horse carriage had followed behind the horse carriage. It was filled with young people wearing black windbreakers. All of them wore black round hats that covered their faces, making it impossible to see their faces clearly.
"Is that one of your men?" Garon looked at Cynthia on his right. Cynthia smiled and nodded.
Detective Dale only had to look behind him to know who they were from their attire.
"It's someone from Manuyllton. Your company really cares about you."
"Of course, Mr. Kelly is an important person in the company." Cynthia rushed to answer. Ge Reese frowned.
"Cynthia, aren't you a bodyguard? Don't you need to be alert of your surroundings? "Ge Reese snorted.
"Alright, stop fooling around. Let's hurry along quietly." Garon shook his head and was speechless. As soon as he saw this sign, he immediately stopped.
"As a bodyguard, I'm absolutely dutiful!" Cynthia smiled cutely, revealing two white canine teeth. "Just wait for a good show."
While the three of them were talking in the back, Dale Quicksilver, White Eagle, and the other two were frowning.
"So, the people from Golden Hoop have already arrived?"
"Yes, according to Master, it should be Golden Hoop Number 10. That woman is extraordinarily powerful. Her Celestial Fierce Body Hardening Technique has almost reached the level of bullet resistance. She moves like the wind, and her marksmanship is accurate. Her assassination skills are extraordinarily powerful. Ordinary people are no better than ants in her hands. That woman is obviously chasing after Master this time. "
"Master Lily should be fine, right?" Black Panther asked worriedly.
"It's fine, don't worry. Initially, Master wanted to hide for a while. Who knew that the crazy woman was seriously injured by an unknown master. She's still recuperating now. She won't be able to fight for a few months. We're safe for now. "White Eagle smiled lightly, but his face immediately darkened. "However, we can't let our guard down. Golden Hoop Number 10 has two capable fighters. One is Number 11, and the other is Number 13. Both of them are extraordinarily strong. Either one of them is stronger than me by a large margin. If it wasn't for Black Panther's help last time, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape safely with the two children. "
"As long as they're fine, it's fine. We have enough people this time. No matter how strong your martial arts are, you won't be able to face so many guns head-on. You don't have to worry too much about safety." The detective comforted him. "Fortunately, I asked Madam to take the two children to Grandpa's house. We don't have to worry about anything. "
"By the way, Sir, isn't it a bit risky to bring Mr. Kelly with us this time? Our investigation might involve an ancient cult. No one knows what might happen inside," Si Lan asked in a low voice.
"After all, he, White Eagle, and I found the entrance together. I'll ask him when the time comes. It's true that there might be unexpected dangers inside." The detective nodded.
At this time, a cool breeze blew over. The morning sun gradually rose and shone on the carriage. A small part of it fell on everyone's clothes, faintly warming them up.
The carriage rolled over a white stone bridge. The clear green water under the bridge rippled continuously. From time to time, red maple leaves would fall from the maple forest on the shore onto the water.
Garon sat in the carriage and looked sideways. The grassy slope beside the road was densely covered with trees. The three colors of red, yellow, and dark green mixed together. It was extremely bright. On the shore beside the stone bridge, there were a few doe with their fawns lowering their heads to lick the water.
When these animals heard the sound of the carriage, they only raised their heads and glanced over as if it was a common occurrence. Then, they continued to lower their heads and drink the water.
The light of the rising sun shone on the surface of the water, giving it a golden sheen.
"After passing this stone bridge, we'll reach the sparsely populated Silversilk Castle area. In the past, this bridge was the boundary between the castle area and Canoe Town, "Detective Dale explained. "Everyone, be prepared. The Golden Hoop will definitely not let go of the castle's secret so easily. They've lost so many people. "
The White Eagle frowned, and suddenly spoke hesitantly. "Sir, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."
"What is it? Just say it."
The White Eagle hesitated. "Actually, it's not a big deal. When I saved the two children last time, I met a person who was very skilled in Body Hardening Technique. He killed the leader of the Golden Hoop's Red Hand Fist. Most importantly, I could tell from his body that he was most likely trained in Behemoth Gate's martial arts. "
"Behemoth Gate?" The detective frowned. "Even they are involved … Others might be wrong, but you, the White Eagle, definitely won't be wrong. You once escaped death under the hands of a Behemoth Gate master. It must have left a deep impression."
"I think it's very likely to be a coincidence," Black Panther whispered. "And after all, he didn't mean any harm. He even helped you get rid of your opponent."
"That's true." The White Eagle nodded. "I just don't know why he would do that."
"Don't think too much. It's probably just a coincidence," Black Panther comforted.
The carriage traveled at a moderate speed. Soon, they reached the mountain path that they had to walk on.
The group got off the carriage and walked all the way through the woods and hills. Finally, they arrived at the Silversilk Castle.
Police were scattered all over the castle. From the window of a room on the second floor, the tall and skinny sergeant was looking out. A policewoman stood beside him, and the two seemed to be talking about something.
A policeman was guarding the gate. He walked over when he saw the group.
"Sergeant Rio is waiting for you inside. The scene has been completely sealed off, but we didn't find the body that the detective mentioned."
"Oh?" Dale Quicksilver frowned. "Looks like someone was one step ahead of us … Let's go take a look."
He led the way to the castle gate. Behind him, the White Eagle, Black Panther, and Miss Si Lan followed. Garon walked at the back, surrounded by a group of men in black. They were all bodyguards brought by Cynthia.
Cynthia was holding a black shotgun in her hand. She was taking aim and checking the gun from time to time.
"The pistol is ready. Did you bring the howitzer? And the explosives I ordered? "
Her subordinate quickly handed her a piece of paper with the weapons and equipment they brought.
Garon and Ge Reese felt their scalps go numb as they listened.
"Howitzer … Explosives … Cynthia, are you here to be a bodyguard or to fight?" Ge Reese was speechless.
"Can't help it. We're not martial arts experts. Plus, this is the era of guns. Martial arts experts? No matter how good they are, it's just a matter of a few more guns. " Cynthia glanced at the paper in her hand nonchalantly. She nodded in satisfaction and pointed at a few of her smaller subordinates.
"No. 8, No. 11, you guys take a few people to the surrounding hills and set up an ambush. Pay attention to the accuracy of the shooting range. If you see any enemies coming out, kill them immediately. The assembled sniper rifles are in the car behind. No. 6, you take some things and prepare them. Be prepared to use any special means. And No. 3, how's the preparation of the explosives? "
"It's enough to blow up the whole place." No. 3, who was pointed out, smiled nonchalantly.
"Everything is ready. Pay attention to the placement of the points. Also, make sure you don't get discovered by the police. Even though we have a proper gun license, there are still some things we should avoid. "
"Got it, boss." The few men in black smiled and dispersed with boxes of various sizes.
Garon stood at the side, feeling helpless.
"If that Golden Hoop Number 10 appears again … Even if he has the same level of Body Hardening Technique as I do, he can still block bullets. Explosives or howitzers probably won't work. "
He knew that even if he were to encounter a dozen guns, he wouldn't be able to do anything. If the distance was too close, even he wouldn't be able to block bullets. If he was hit in a vital area, such as the ears or eyes, he would also die.
Shaking his head, as a martial arts practitioner, he felt a sense of loss as if he was being eliminated by the times.
He followed Detective Dale and the others in front of him.
After entering the main door, he easily went to the small room on the first floor that looked like a study.
Dale Quicksilver and the others, along with Sergeant Rio, were already gathered in front of the underground entrance. They were discussing something.
Seeing Garon come in, Dale and the White Eagle nodded at him and continued their discussion. He was frowning and talking to a bearded man beside the sergeant.
Garon stood at the side and listened. Dale and the bearded man were discussing in an awkward dialect. It seemed like one was asking and the other was answering. Garon couldn't understand them at all. Only the sergeant would occasionally add a few words. The three of them didn't look relaxed.
Garon walked to the White Eagle and asked in a low voice. "What's the situation?"
The White Eagle shook his head. "It's a bit troublesome. The ancient mechanism expert said that the underground cave is likely to be filled with mechanisms. He thinks that we should first use explosives to blow up the mechanisms below. He doesn't have the confidence to deal with all the mechanisms. And … "
