Chapter 60 The Price

Baronial Palace.

"Manado hasn't come back yet?" Andrew felt uneasy for some reason.

He sent Manado to investigate Renn. At first, he had intelligence and knew that they had discovered Renn and headed all the way to the Barrens.

Because Renn is following Charlotte's team, there is no chance to make a move for the time being.

It stands to reason that regardless of whether he succeeds or not, Manado will send someone to report to him.

But there is no news until now, which is quite abnormal!

Could it be said that Manado can't deal with a young boy?

Impossible! With his strength, it should be more than enough to bring so many people.

But why is there no news?

After thinking for a long time, I decided to send someone to the Barrens to investigate tomorrow morning to see what happened to Manado.

On the other side, the hotel room where Ren lived was dark and nothing could be seen.

No one knew that he was digging a hole vertically in the corner of the room, because the floor was also blocked. Except for the slight movement of the wooden bed, no one could see anything wrong with the room. At most, they found that Ren was missing, but he was actually underground.

After digging with a pickaxe, a rather large rectangular basement has been dug out.

Moreover, Renne has a virtual map open the whole time. Whenever someone approaches the hotel, or approaches his room, whether he is a friend or an enemy, he can immediately see the mark.

Before the other party approaches the room, he can quickly return by climbing the wooden ladder and digging up the floor, which is very convenient.

So you can start working without any scruples, place torches underground, and work in a bright space.

To be honest, although mining is boring, he thinks it is more interesting than going out for adventure.

"Bang, bang..." The iron pickaxe kept tapping, turning the rock layer into stone cubes, which fell into Ren's virtual backpack.

The virtual map shows that there are countless green marks representing Storm City soldiers running on the surface streets, heading in different directions within the city.

"It's really a sleepless night. The whole city will be shocked tomorrow!" Ren said to himself. He dug up a rock cube and found that there was iron ore hidden behind it. He was very excited. "Although it is a scattered ore, it is also an unexpected harvest!"

No one knew that Wren was digging underground in Storm City.

The people in the city didn't go out at night because they had to get up early for work the next day, so they were all sleeping. When they heard the movement of the soldiers outside, they could only take a look through the window. They didn't know what was going on, and no one would risk going out to check.

If there are adventurers in the association or hotel, they will stay calm when they hear the noise. No one wants to cause trouble when there is such a big noise in the city.

After Andrew finished worrying about Manado, he started thinking about the sea princess.

Who was behind it and actually snatched this important person from his hands? She had been successfully sent to the royal city. Once His Majesty was happy, he would have the opportunity to be promoted.

They shouldn't be the officials who secretly joined forces with themselves, right? They have no reason to do this, after all, they will benefit from success.

While he was thinking hard, a subordinate suddenly ran into the hall and reported to him in a panic: "Lord Baron, something is wrong!"

"What's the matter? Are you in a panic?" Andrew was interrupted from his thoughts and was a little unhappy.

"General Warren of the Jimenez family is here!"

"General Warren? Why are Jimenez's people looking for me?" Andrew's face was full of confusion.

"He brought a large army of soldiers and horses and surrounded the Baron's Mansion!"

"What?!" Andrew stood up abruptly, "I don't seem to have offended the Jimenez family, right? Let's go! Go over and take a look!"

"No need!" Warren's voice sounded outside. Several Baron soldiers guarding the corridor of the hall retreated in confusion. A group of generals wearing the Jimenez clan emblem broke in, surrounded by the middle-aged general with a goatee, and directly

Come to Andrew.

Although he is a baron, Andrew does not dare to be disrespectful at all when facing Warren, who is much lower than himself. Because the other party represents the Jimenez family, even if he is not a general, he would not dare to offend if someone with a lower rank comes over: "

General Warren, what is going on? I have great respect for Mr. Jimenez and have never done anything disrespectful. Why did you come late at night? Lead troops to surround my mansion?"

Warren said solemnly: "Baron Andrew, the Sea Clan captured Glory Town and took the townspeople hostage. They said that some people from the Sea Clan were captured and wanted to negotiate in exchange! We heard rumors that in addition to the people from the Sea Clan, some people even

Although the attempt to trap the sea tribe princess failed, it aroused the anger of the sea tribe and continued to invade the coastal areas of Storm City."

Andrew's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he forced himself to calm down: "Is there such a thing? But what does it have to do with me?"

"Many officials have confessed to this matter and told the facts to the City Lord." Warren said expressionlessly, "They all said that you were the one who led this matter, and everyone was at your disposal. Please follow me to the City Lord's Mansion.

Explain this matter to the Lord of the City!"

"Wait a minute!" Andrew was immediately confused when he heard this. He didn't expect that the matter would be exposed so quickly, and that other officials would also confess themselves.

"What do you want to say?"

"Listen to me, General Warren!" Andrew was in a panic and could only force himself to calm down. "I was just following orders. Someone from the Royal City sent me to operate secretly. This is His Majesty's wish!"

"So you admitted to participating in and directing this matter, arresting the Sea Tribe princess, selling Sea Tribe civilians as pets, and giving them away, are all facts?" Warren asked seriously.

"I'm just following your Majesty's will and acting on orders!" Andrew replied, "If you don't believe it, you can ask the city lord to ask your Majesty about it!"

"Baron Andrew, there's a reason why you couldn't be promoted!" Warren shook his head slightly.

"What's the meaning?"

"Even I know that even if His Majesty personally ordered it, if the mission fails, in order to appease the Sea Clan, the higher-ups will definitely deny it, and the responsibility lies entirely with you! People have to know themselves, and how capable they are of doing great things! You have received His Majesty's order,

Do you think this is a huge opportunity? Do you think that if you successfully capture the sea princess and send her to the royal city, you will be able to achieve success in one step?" Warren sneered, "Success is another matter, of course. What is the result? If you hadn't been so ambitious, you would have informed His Majesty of the secret order in the first place.

City Lord or Lord Jimenez, the Sea Clan has long been under control! It’s because of your selfishness that you are in trouble now!”

Andrew quickly said: "Aren't they just the untouchables in Glory Town? This matter can still be rectified! Since the Sea Clan cares about their people, at most they will lose some untouchables, we can use this as a threat to send troops to take back Glory Town and capture their generals

.If we really fight, we won’t necessarily lose!”

"Untouchables?" Warren said coldly, "It would be easier if they were just untouchables! But there are four ladies, Kristen, Carla, Linda, and Monica, who are trapped in Glory Town, all because of your mistakes!

This time, you have to pay for your mistake!"
