Seeing the Supreme Chief actually coming here personally, the wardens hurriedly went to greet him.
After all, Sir Irving didn’t come here normally. Each time he came, it was basically to announce the latest instructions from the top. Also, only the highest level criminals would be worth it for him to come here personally.
“Sir Irving!” The wardens followed the other various wardens out to greet and welcome him.
Irving was very sturdily built, and his facial features were as if they were carved by a knife. He had a stern expression and wore a dark-red cloak. With his hands behind his back, he walked towards the office area in this district and asked as he walked, “Are there any issues with the Hong Family’s side?”
“Sir Irving, everything is normal so far.” The warden in charge of monitoring the Hong Family replied respectfully, “They’re all behaving very well and didn’t make any attempts to escape. Their resting time is also very normal. Also, I have followed your order and didn’t do any physical punishment on them.”
“Very good.” Irving nodded in satisfaction and then waved his hand casually, saying, “You guys can go do your work now. Oh right, is Sir Reddy here? Help me inform him that I’m here.”
“Understood!” A warden saluted and instantly went to inform Sir Reddy.
Irving went back to his office and sat down. Very quickly, the door opened, and a middle-aged man came in with a slight smile on his face. Once he came in, he stretched out his hand and said, “Sir Irving, we meet again.”
“Haha, quick, take a sit.” Irving smiled and patted the middle-aged man’s elbow, then said, “Reddy, it’s been dozens of years since we last met, right? I heard you have something to tell me, what is it?”
Irving and Reddy could be said to have debuted at the same time, and their relationship was quick good too. Therefore, hearing that Reddy was seeking him, Irving instantly flew over. Otherwise, at normal times, a few criminals weren’t worthy enough to require him to come back and guard the place personally.
“We’re old friends, so I will be direct with you.” After Reddy sat down, he organized his thoughts and then slowly said, “I came here this time to ask a favor from you, to see if there’s any way to let the Hong Family go.”
“You came here for the Hong Family?” Hearing Reddy’s words, Irving frowned, then slowly shook his head and said, “If it was some other people, I might be able to help. But for the Hong Family, I’m afraid there’s nothing I can help you with.”
“Oh? Why is that?” Reddy asked in surprise, “With your authority, it shouldn’t be too hard to secretly let out a few criminals, right?”
“This is true for other people, but the Hong Family is really hard to settle.” Irving sighed and said in a deep voice, “We’re old friends, so I shan’t deceive you. Actually, the Hong Family didn’t do anything wrong and didn’t have any issues at all. However, that Hong Dali from the Hong Family, which is that strategic genius, the one who perfectly killed the leader of the opposite party in the Astral Genius Battle, have you heard of him?”
“Yup, I did. I came here because of him. My brother Lei Zhe from my family specially begged me to help him.” Reddy nodded. Since he came here for the Hong Family, it was naturally because of Lei Zhe. If not, he wouldn’t have the leisure to care about such things.
Irving continued, “I have investigated on this Hong Dali before. He’s very talented and kind. Everything’s fine, actually. He was arranged to the Dimensional War to handle the Cultivators, this isn’t much. He also did quite well, having communicated with the Cultivators and planned to secretly transport the Cultivators away, letting them really fuse with our people. This action can save hundreds of billions of lives, isn’t this a great thing?”
Reddy sighed and said, “That’s right, yet this was actually reported directly to the Oracle…”
Irving helplessly shook his head and said, “Therefore, you should be aware of the Oracle’s temper too. What he hates most is people not following the rules that he decided. If no one reported this matter, this would be a good deed. But now that it’s reported, the Oracle became furious. He directly sent the Inspectorate team to capture the Hong Family. Also, he has already decided that he will kill all of the Hong Family in 10 days’ time. He will also personally supervise the killing as a warning to everyone. He’s showing everyone that this is the result of trying to attempt any tricks in the Dimensional War.”
“What!?” Hearing this, Reddy was instantly astonished.
The Oracle actually wanted to kill the entire Hong Family? Just because of this? This… This shouldn’t be so serious to such an extent!
“Sir Oracle is coming personally!? This matter isn’t that serious, right!?” Reddy was completely astonished. He couldn’t believe that the Oracle, who always stayed in his base and rarely came out, would actually be so angry this time.
“I didn’t believe this at first. But afterward, I heard that it wasn’t just because of this matter.” Irving sighed and said, “You’re not an outsider, so I shall tell you clearly.”
Irving came close to Reddy and softly spoke into Reddy’s ear, “This matter involves many things, mainly that Hong Dali.”
“What do you mean? Hong Dali is just a youngster. No matter what it is, it shouldn’t cause the Oracle to supervise the killing personally.” Reddy curiously asked, “What is it really about?”
“After the Oracle learned of this news, he also checked up Hong Dali’s information. And because of this check, he found a problem.” Irving sighed and smiled bitterly, then said, “This Hong Dali has too many resources in his hand. The Golden Emperor Beetle, Tower of Life, the entire Zerg race, the Cultivator’s secret manuals, and the leader of the Cultivators, Tang Zhen.
“Each of these resources is very large in itself, especially the Golden Emperor Beetle. Sir Oracle is fixed on obtaining it.” Irving shook his head and said, “That’s the Golden Emperor Beetle, one of the highest-grade lineages in the universe, something that the Oracle dreamed of obtaining. It had never appeared before, but he finally found it this time, so he naturally will want to obtain it. Also, that Devil Lord Tang Zhen, Sir Oracle is quite impressed with his power, so Sir Oracle intends to capture Tang Zhen as his slave. Also, there’s the Tower of Life, such a large mountain of life gemstone…”
Lastly, Irving helplessly said, “Therefore, simply put, Sir Oracle prepared two plans for this time’s matter.
“The first one, if Hong Dali doesn’t come, he will directly kill all of the Hong Family. This way, even if Hong Dali doesn’t intend to come, he will still have no way but to come.
“Second, once Hong Dali learns of this and personally comes, the result will still be the same. All of the Hong Family will die, Sir Oracle will obtain the Golden Emperor Beetle and the Tower of Life. If the Devil Lord Tang Zhen dares to come, he will probably be captured as a slave too.”
“This… This…” Reddy was completely stunned.
What was just a minor issue actually transformed into such a major thing? Sir Oracle actually laid his eyes on Hong Dali’s resources? That’s the Oracle, the entire Pengyun Astral Alliance could be said to be his. Is there a need to do such a thing?
Irving smiled bitterly and said, “Honestly speaking, I didn’t believe this at first too. But obviously, Sir Oracle is for real this time. For the exact situation, there will definitely still be some hidden information. Overall speaking, the Hong Family is in big trouble!”
