From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 459 The Manor Filled with Red Spider Lilies
During their escape, the Berg family faction within Levi's mercenary group was ambushed by a mysterious team and wiped out within minutes, unable to mount any significant resistance.

After all, the members of Longwei's special forces have an average skill level that is one or two levels higher than that of other ability users of the same level.

The difference between having one high skill level and another isn't that significant. But if all skills are one or two levels higher, it's like an average B-level mercenary group fighting an A+ level special forces team.

The skill level alone is enough to overwhelm them.

Moreover, the members of the Dragon Might Special Forces are all transferred from the regular army, and their discipline and training intensity far surpass those of the lowly mercenaries.

Moreover, the Dragon Force Special Forces also had aerial reconnaissance support, so they could end the battle almost as soon as they made their move, and the rest of the time was spent cleaning up the battlefield.

……

After dealing with Levi's mercenary group, all the intelligence gathered was transmitted back to the war zone intelligence team.

The most crucial piece of intelligence came from obtaining the addresses of two manors from a Levi mercenary.

Both addresses belong to Will Berg's private estate.

All information related to Will Berg is the most crucial clue we need right now.

Whether or not Will Berg is hiding in these two estates, it must be confirmed; no clue should be overlooked.

The intelligence was sent back, and only fifteen minutes later, Qi Jinghui called.

"Commander Lu, based on the information you provided, we conducted intelligence analysis and discovered a potentially useful piece of information."

Upon hearing this, Lu Heng had a sudden inspiration and blurted out, "Is it information about those two manors?"

Qi Jinghui confirmed: "Yes, both of these private estates are located in Michel State. The estate located at 32 Kaplan is related to the intelligence analysis mentioned earlier."

“Through clandestine channels, we obtained a photograph of the perimeter of Kaplan 32 and discovered that the estate was filled with Red Spider Lilies.”

Lu Heng was equally surprised to hear this information, never expecting to actually find a manor filled with spider lilies.

While at the Red Spider mercenary base, I obtained information about Red Spider Lily from a mercenary.

From this information, we can conclude that Will Berg frequently visited an estate filled with this type of flower.

Coincidentally, the mercenary Red Spider's English name is Red Spider, and the flower planted in this manor is Red Spider Lily.

This strange connection actually brought the manor to light.

However, finding a manor full of Red Spider Lilies doesn't necessarily mean you'll find Will Berg.

There was no intelligence whatsoever indicating that Will Berg had recently entered or left the estate.

Lu Heng then asked, "Is there any further intelligence to support this? Has Will Berg entered or left this manor recently?"

Qi Jinghui gave an uncertain answer this time:
"The information we have so far is insufficient to answer this question. Therefore, we need to send someone to confirm whether Will Berg is in this manor."

"However, I have an extra piece of information here."

"Recently, several targets we are investigating who are associated with the Berg family have been found to have Red Spider Lily tattoos on their bodies."

"Therefore, we suspect that this flower may be some kind of totem."

Lu Heng was a little puzzled and asked, "Isn't the Berg family's totem the Red Spider Lily?"

Qi Jinghui confirmed, "Yes, the Berg family's totem is not this flower. This flower has only appeared as a totem in the last few months."

"Therefore, our intelligence team analyzed that Red Spider Lily may be a totem that Will Berg used as a bloodline."

Lu Heng carefully recalled the information in his memory, but it seemed that there was no information about Red Spider Lily.

“When we raided the Red Spider mercenary base just now, we captured a few mercenaries who had been converted into bloodline, but they didn’t have this totem on them.”

Qi Jinghui said, "That's right. The Red Spider Lily totem must be of a very high level. Only those with a certain status, position, or combat power are qualified to use this totem."

If that's the case, then it makes sense. Obviously, Red Spider, a mercenary who works for the Berg family, doesn't have a high status and isn't qualified to use Red Spider Lily as a totem.

In the human world, individuals of bloodline need to conceal their identities in their previous lives.

If only people of high status within a bloodline human group could use the Red Spider Lily as a totem, it wouldn't be surprising if they didn't have this information in their memories.

……

Previously, through various clues, it had been confirmed that Will Berg was indeed the Prince of Blood.

In other words, he is the progenitor of humankind.

Therefore, Red Spider Lily is very likely the ancestral totem of the human bloodline race.

This means that the manor planted with Red Spider Lilies holds special significance for the Bloodline and for Will Berg.

Even if Will Berg wasn't hiding in this manor, there must be something very important hidden there.

Even if it's just a secret of the Bloodline race, obtaining this information will help in preventing future Bloodline invasions.

After figuring out these key points, Lu Heng said, "Then I'll go to Kaplan 32 myself and take a look. If I can catch Will Berg, that would be great. If not, I'll at least see what's in this manor."

Qi Jinghui agreed, "Okay, this operation is in your hands. Contact me anytime if you need support. I'll send you detailed information about Kaplan 32 right away."

Not long after the call ended, Lu Heng received intelligence information about Kaplan 32.

This document includes information such as the construction date of Kaplan 32, the construction company, and the owner of the estate.

The estate is not owned by Will Berg, but by a real estate company.

It is clear that the property owner and this estate are likely to have no connection whatsoever other than the registration information.

……

After dealing with the Red Spider mercenary base, the Beristan security company, and the Levi mercenary base, a whole day had already passed.

The next day, news about the Red Spider base and Berlistan Security began to appear in the news media and online.

In particular, Berlistan Security, a company located in a relatively bustling area of ​​the city.

Therefore, the explosion caused a great shock.

There were even videos of buildings exploding.

After the video was released, more and more rumors began to circulate.

Because some people with superpowers witnessed the conflict between Lu Heng and the White Eagle Guard Captain, rumors began to circulate online that Eastern superpowered individuals were attacking the White Eagle Guard.

This news sparked outrage among many federal citizens.

After all, the White Eagle Guard represents the supreme authority of the White Eagle Federation, and is sacred and inviolable.

Meanwhile, some people who knew the inside story came forward and said that the Berlistan Security Company incident was an elf mission.

As early as half a month ago, when Da Xia released the "Bloodline Invasion Crisis Report", it had already announced the mission details of the Elf race.

Those who truly understand the cause and effect of the incident know that the Elf race's goal is to deal with the Blood Demons.

In other words, the fact that Beristan Security Company has become a target of the Elves means that the company is related to the Blood Demons.

As a result, two camps emerged online, arguing endlessly.

Supporters believe the elves are upholding justice, while opponents believe the Eastern powers are using the elves' name to trample on the dignity of the White Eagle Federation.

...While public opinion was in an uproar, Lu Heng had already led his team to the vicinity of Kaplan 32.

Since this estate may be Will Berg's hideout, one should not approach it rashly.

If we alert them, Will Berg might escape again.

Therefore, Lu Heng chose a location to hide, and then had Su Muyu and the elf's sensory beings scout out Kaplan 32.

To avoid alerting the enemy, Su Muyu did not send the Azure Phoenix into the manor to investigate. Instead, it circled high in the sky to scout the outer perimeter first.

"The manor is very quiet, and there is not a single person in sight. The backyard of the manor is full of red spider lilies."

She started to get used to using the direct translation of Red Spider Lily's name, which does indeed mean lily.

But Red Spider Lily is actually a member of the Amaryllidaceae family and has nothing to do with lilies.

She added, "The flowers in the garden are all well taken care of, and the fallen leaves and petals on the ground are cleaned up, so there must be someone living in this manor, or at least someone taking care of it every day."

Emily then added, "I found something useful in the sorted trash; it looks like a supermarket shopping list."

"What's on the purchase order?" Lu Heng asked.

"It's all food: beef, turkey, and water." Emily snapped her fingers, remotely taking the shopping list from her hand.

Lu Heng took the shopping list, looked at its contents, and then searched for the name of the supermarket on the list.

When I opened the map, I was a little surprised.

Because this supermarket, whose abbreviation is PCC, is not close to the manor; it's about 20 kilometers away.

The nearest supermarket to the manor is actually only three kilometers away.

There are at least three supermarkets within a 10-kilometer radius.

This PCC supermarket is a bit special; it's a high-end supermarket with very expensive goods, earning it the nickname "luxury supermarket."

Judging from the purchase order, there must be someone in the manor specifically in charge of purchasing.

If someone is specifically in charge of purchasing, the purchasing schedule is usually quite fixed.

Lu Heng glanced at the time on the purchase order; it was 10:33 AM.

Based on the time, the return trip from PCC supermarket to the manor will likely be around 11:00 AM.

The current time is 10:20 AM.

In other words, if the person in charge of purchasing needs to go out to buy things today, they should be in this PCC supermarket right now.

Lu Heng immediately formed a complete action plan in his mind: "Mu Yu, go to this PCC supermarket now and find the person in charge of purchasing these ingredients."

"Okay." Su Muyu nodded in agreement.

For the Azure Phoenix, a journey of twenty kilometers is merely a matter of a dozen seconds.

Soon, the Azure Phoenix arrived at the PCC supermarket 20 kilometers away, and then used its senses to check all the shopping carts.

Almost in the blink of an eye, she found the person who purchased these ingredients.

Although there were slight differences in the ingredients purchased, the main ingredients were the same, such as beef and turkey, and the quantities were the same.

Su Muyu said, "Found him. The target is a brown-haired white man in a suit, around thirty years old, with a high energy level, at least level forty."

Upon hearing this information, a glint flashed in Lu Heng's eyes. He exhaled and said, "We may have found the right place."

There aren't many people who would use a level 40 ability user as an assistant to buy ingredients.

Add to that the Red Spider Lily that fills the entire estate, and all the information points to one answer.

However, Lu Heng felt that the process was going more smoothly than expected, and he found Will Berg's hiding place so quickly.

Lu Heng wasn't the only one who felt this way; Su Muyu felt the same way: "I feel like the process of finding Will Berg's hiding place went a little more smoothly."

The address of the manor was actually obtained directly from a Levi mercenary.

Lu Heng pondered for a moment and then asked, "Who found out the address of this manor?"

The elven arcane mage Raphael raised his hand and said, "I found out that he's a black mercenary, and a pretty high-ranking one."

Lu Heng then asked, "Bring this mercenary here and ask him for more details."

Raphael gave a strange look and shrugged, saying, "That's impossible."

"why?"

“That black mercenary has already been executed. His crimes were too heinous; he had raped and harmed children, and even did it together with them. So when you ordered the execution, I used arcane energy to sever his brain nerves,” Raphael said, spreading his hands.

"Alright." Seeing that the source of the intelligence had been dealt with, Lu Heng didn't pursue the matter any further.

The most important thing now is the manor in front of us.

Su Muyu suggested, "To ensure the accuracy of the information, I recommend that we first detain the superhuman in charge of procurement, extract more information from him, and then take action."

Lu Heng nodded in agreement: "That's definitely safer. Tell me the location, and I'll go there myself."

“Okay. He’s already in the car, heading from the PCC supermarket towards the manor.” Su Muyu reported the location of the brown-haired white man in charge of purchasing.

Lu Heng activated the power of the Wind Lord, flew into the sky, located a car in the middle of the road in two minutes, then appeared in the void, got into the car, and directly used [Subconscious Intrusion] on it.

The brown-haired white man in charge of purchasing instantly lost consciousness. Lu Heng pulled the car over to the side of the road, then closed his eyes and began to interrogate him subconsciously.

"Who do you work for, and where are the groceries you buy delivered?"

The target's subconscious image began to change, revealing his work process.

It can be clearly seen in the video.

After purchasing the ingredients, he would drive back to the Red Spider Lily Manor, park in the garage, and then take the purchased ingredients to the kitchen.

That concludes his work.

Lu Heng then asked, "Who lives in the manor?"

The target's subconscious imagery changed again, with individual images emerging.

The first is the chef; this manor has its own dedicated chef.

Next are three gardeners who are responsible for the maintenance of the estate's flowers.

In addition, there is a young butler.

The image of the person stopped appearing at this point.

Lu Heng frowned and pressed for an answer: "Who owns the manor?"

The answer was that the purchasing assistant had never met the owner of the estate, but had heard from the chef that the owner was eccentric and liked to eat bloody turkeys.

The chef had never made such a terrible turkey dish before.
