Chapter 989: A Father

Chapter 989 A Father

The city lord’s castle was brightly lit, and the staff were all walking around with serious expressions.

“My Lord, this is the fifth letter.” An official strode into the meeting room and presented him a letter.

The meeting room was full of people. They were officials from the city lord’s castle and people from the Gray Temple. Their expressions were all serious and furious.

Their gazes all landed onto that letter. In front of Michael, there were already four identical letters. Because of these four letters, they were all awakened from their slumber and rushed to the city lord’s castle immediately.

This was a rare 5th-tier incident.

As Michael tore open the envelope of the fifth letter with a somber expression, a staff member rushed in, and announced, “My Lord, the fourth team just reported that they have discovered 51 abducted children and 23 suspected human traffickers. The suspected human traffickers were all killed before the fourth team’s arrival! The children found on the spot all had different degrees of mutilation, except those who were just sent to the lair. According to the children, it was a man in black who saved them. There is only one person.”

“Another 50 children!”

The expressions of all the people in the meeting room had changed. They could barely control their anger.

In less than an hour, the city lord’s castle had received four letters. There were four addresses in the letters which all turned out to be lairs of the human traffickers when the city lord’s castle personnel arrived. There were already over 100 children found.

These human traffickers were so horrendous that it raised their hackles!

They wanted to crush those human traffickers after they saw what they had done to the children.

“Who is that man in black?”

Everyone was curious about the man in black who triggered this incident. He was fully in charge of everything. Even the city lord’s castle was just his sidekick.

He was working alone, so how did he find out about those human traffickers’ lairs hidden deep within the slums and dark alleys? And he always managed to kill all the human traffickers and leave the scene before the people from Gray Temple arrived.

Michael took out the fifth letter with a somber expression. This letter, too, only had a phrase and a sentence: “Human traffickers’ lair. Get the children out.”

Michael passed the letter to the chief secretary at his side, and said in a deep voice, “Order the fifth team to depart now. All the leaves of the city lord’s castle and Gray Temple’s personnel are cancelled. Inform all our medical personnel and magic casters who know healing magic to assemble at the city lord’s castle and await orders. Bring all the children back and do our best to provide them with treatment.”

“Yes.” The chief secretary turned about and strode out quickly.

As Michael looked at the officials present, he shook his head and said, “I am very disappointed. There are so many children who were mistreated so cruelly right under all your noses, and yet you people could manage to ignore them all these years? If there weren’t all these letters which were delivered to the city lord’s castle today, were you guys going to continue to pretend that you have already made Chaos City a stable and peaceful place?”

All the officials lowered their gazes in a silence.

A Gray Temple official stood up and said with shame, “My Lord, this is the Gray Temple’s dereliction of duty.”

“No. This is the dereliction of duty of both the city lord’s castle and Gray Temple.” Michael shook his head and smashed his fist onto the table. He somberly said, “Tonight, regardless of how many letters will be delivered to the city lord’s castle, and how many children will be saved by the unnamed hero, I want you guys to do everything you can to eradicate every single human traffickers’ lair in Chaos City. Rescue all the children, apprehend all the human traffickers!”

“All the 10th-tier magic casters are to coordinate and move out with us. This is the city lord’s order. Codename: Operation Daisy.” Michael wrote two lines of words on a piece of paper. Then, he took out his city lord’s seal and placed his mark on it.

“You shall inform Lord Rolan that we need the Gray Temple to coordinate with the city lord’s castle for this operation,” Michael said to the Gray Temple official who had spoken up earlier.

“Yes!” that official answered, and strode toward the door.

“I hope all of you can end this before the sun rises, otherwise the children who are left behind will be in grave danger.” Michael passed the city lord’s order to the official who stood next to him. All the city lord’s castle’s officials and Gray Temple’s officials stood up and walked out of the meeting room.

“This is a battle. A battle to rescue the abducted children!”

The city lord’s chief secretary returned to the meeting room, and whispered next to Michael’s ear, “My lord, these letters were delivered to the city lord’s castle by pedestrians. They didn’t know what was in the letter. There could still be pedestrians on their way to deliver more letters. If we could find these pedestrians who are on their way here, maybe we would know the man in black’s next target.”

“Leave it.” Michael waved his hand as he shook his head, and said, “All these are obviously part of his plans. Tonight, both the city lord’s castle and Gray Temple would not have done better than him. Let him do whatever he intends to. What we have to do is to bring all the children back safely and heal them with all we can, and destroy all the human traffickers syndicates that are not included in his plan.”

The chief secretary nodded with a thoughtful expression.

…

“Who… Who are you…”

A 7th-tier demon grabbed the longsword that was stabbed into his chest as he kneeled in front of the man in black with unwillingness.

“A father.” Mag removed the longsword and sliced the 10 fingers off the demon’s hand.

“You are safe now,” he gently said to the children in the black cages at the side.

Footsteps could be heard from beyond the courtyard. Mag put away his sword. He leaped out of the courtyard and disappeared into the dark again.

He hid on a dead tree a short distance away, and observed that small courtyard that was brightly lit up by torches. He could hear the shouts of the city lord’s castle’s and Gray Temple’s personnel. The children were freed from the metal cages before they were blindfolded and carried out of the courtyard. They were put in the horse-drawn carriages that were prepared in advance and drove toward the city lord’s castle.

Seven lairs, 150 human traffickers, 342 children. Even though we cannot eradicate them completely, from today onward, there shouldn’t be any more organized human traffickers syndicates in Chaos City anymore. Mag threw the longsword he borrowed from the system aside casually. The system kept it away automatically. An intense feel of tiredness washed all over him.

It was tiring enough if he had to hack through 150 blocks of wood, let alone killed 150 human traffickers. There were even two 7th-tier demons and one 7th-tier orc among them.

I hope Lord Michael won’t disappoint me with his following actions. Mag glanced at that courtyard again before he leaped onto a roof at a side and moved toward Aden Square.

Mag avoided a few teams from the city lord’s castle and Gray Temple on his way back. He was shocked to sense a few 10th-tier great magic casters’ auras among them. At the same time, he felt gratified.

Mag let the system keep and handle the black clothes when he got back to the restaurant. He took a shower carefully to wash away the bloody scent before he changed into his pyjamas and lay on the bed.

The gross feeling that arose from killing too many people made it hard for him to fall asleep. However, he didn’t regret his actions at all. As a father, when he saw those children who were maimed, there was only one thought in his mind: human traffickers deserved to die!

Mag sat up and looked at Amy who was sound asleep on her bed. This little one was hugging Ugly Duckling with a smile on her face as if she was having a wonderful dream. Mag’s heart calmed down gradually, and a smile appeared on his face.
