Instigator and Protector of Violence-Chapter 285: The Right Direction

"Squad One in position."

"Squad Two in position."

"Squad Three in position."

"Move out."

Listening to the messages coming from the communicator, Trafford decisively issued the order.

In an era of rapid radio development, radio communication devices were naturally already installed in top-tier official institutions like the Kingdom Defense Bureau.

However, regardless of how well Trafford deployed or how advanced the squad's equipment was, they were destined to come up empty-handed.

The building of the underground meeting was deserted, not to mention the target, Count Jiakade, even the other participants were not found.

Except for the intoxicating aroma of wine lingering in the air, not even an empty bottle was left behind.

"The information might have been leaked in advance."

The temporary adjutant reported to Trafford in a deep voice.

Trafford, suppressing his anger, said, "Search, turn the whole place over, I refuse to believe there are no clues."

He was quite infuriated by such a scene.

In a short time, twice in a row, it felt like a pair of eyes were constantly watching them, always one step ahead.

Watching helplessly as things slid bit by bit beyond his control.

Finally, there were some results.

This time, the trace tracking unit sprang into action.

Through the belongings in Count Jiakade's house, they ultimately pinned down Count Jiakade's whereabouts.

Previously in the underground hospital, they were involved as well, but unfortunately, whatever the other party did, they tracked the traces out of the place and found no further clues.

Originally, Trafford was a bit pessimistic.

Fortunately, this time, it seemed the opposing party slipped up.

Was it because his offensive was too swift?

Watching the people from the trace tracking unit unleash their true name power, following traces down a hidden pathway.

Trafford's heart rekindled a spark of hope.

They must be quick; the other side has shown a flaw.

In truth, Ethan and Anya were silently observing all this from a distance.

He knew exactly that they would track the traces.

After all, he had dined with Joseph so many times.

During meals, they did communicate.

He was well aware of the Kingdom Defense Bureau's personnel composition.

Every time the action unit moved out, they were equipped with a trace tracking unit.

This unit was made up of people with a special true name, Eternal Hunters, belonging to one of the old era true names.

Their tracking ability was very strong.

Fortunately, Ethan's authority was stronger.

Previously it was by relying on the power of the King of the Beihai that he concealed the traces.

However, this time, Ethan did not intend to hide anymore.

What he wanted was for the other party to catch up.

Half an hour ago, upon receiving information about Count Jiakade, he immediately searched for the man.

Fortunately, luck was on his side. Under circumstances weaker than the Kingdom Defense Bureau in all aspects, Count Jiakade happened to be attending an underground gathering hosted by Palon today.

So, it became quite simple.

After Count Jiakade was ushered into a small room, Ethan, waiting there, knocked him out and took him away.

Confirming that Trafford was investigating along the expected trajectory, Ethan left with Count Jiakade.

Destination—

South District.

Along the way, Ethan deliberately left clues unnoticed.

Until he approached the territory of the Martinos Clan in the South District, only then did he use power to erase all further traces.

Then, he donned the Godfather's mask and found Vasini looking quite haggard in the Sanctuary.

Without a doubt, Vasini almost jumped at the sight of Ethan.

Finally.

Finally.

After so many days of prayer, God showed His mercy and sent His mighty messenger, the Godfather, to deliver a new divine ordinance.

"Father, you finally came!"

Vasini hurried forward, seemingly wanting to embrace Ethan, then abruptly realized that seemed a bit overstepping, hastily stopped and lowered his head.

"Vasini, you are doing well."

Ethan responded in an ethereal voice.

Ethan naturally knew Vasini's recent ordeal, the territory continuously lost, the family struggling day by day.

He yearned for a breakthrough opportunity.

Originally, even Ethan himself couldn't figure out where the breakthrough point was.

But now, it's different.

"The great Lord heard your pleas, specifically ordered me to save you."

"Praise the Lord!"

Vasini promptly saluted.

Valentino behind him did as well.

"This man, you should first detain him, absolutely must not let him escape, nor let him speak, meanwhile, prepare the strictest vigilance, war is about to begin, far more severe than before."

Ethan directly handed the hooded Count Jiakade to Vasini.

Vasini didn't dare to check on the specifics, just nodded.

Simultaneously, an excited emotion surged in his heart, finally, would the Lord unleash His full might?

Total war?

At this moment, he didn't know what he would face.

For at the same time, Trafford had already led his team to the South District.

"The traces disappeared here."

After carefully discerning, the people from the trace tracking unit helplessly shook their heads towards Trafford.

Trafford looked at the South District, at the faintly visible dome of the Sanctuary in the distance, and nodded slowly.

"It's okay, I already know where he is."

South District, that's correct.

The Martinos Clan's territory, that's correct.

Everything lined up.

No wrong accusation on Count Jiakade, it was definitely this guy.

"You've worked hard, take a rest for now."

The following matters did not necessarily rely entirely on people from the Kingdom Defense Bureau.

Doesn't Travis very much need this place?

Time for him to bleed a bit.

After arranging the affairs concerning Jiakade, Ethan went towards the room imprisoning Kaster.

Calling it imprisonment, there was actually no guard, no defensive extremity, except for Ethan's command—

Not to leave this room.

In these days, as the situation worsened, Kaster was not without disloyalty.

He naturally could also feel the changes outside.

He tried to escape, but would immediately be driven back by the rules.

He understood his captor was still intact.

So when Ethan appeared again, he remained compliant, sitting cross-legged there, just like when seeing Vasini before.

"Bored being alone here?"

Ethan smiled at him.

"I am a long-lived species, the last thing we fear is boredom, is loneliness."

Kaster also smiled.

"So, what brings you here this time?"

"I wanted to ask for your help."

"Do you need to be so polite?"

"Kaster, honestly, I don't want to keep you imprisoned like this forever; if possible, I will restore your freedom in the future."

Ethan looked at him.

Kaster said nothing.

"What is it?"

After a moment he asked.

"I want you to become a person."
