Old Gods, Rapid-Fire Guns, and Prohibition

Chapter 320 [Opportunity]

That night, it wasn't just a few groups of people who were on the move.

There are also others who are secretly following along for some hidden reasons.

For example, the Kingdom Security Bureau, specifically the newly rebuilt Operations Division 3.

First squad.

The leader of the first squad is Johnny Albertlin.

He wasn't exactly a confidant of the former director, Michel; he rose to his position purely through his own abilities and hard work.

Of course, it was also because his predecessor Trafford was unlucky and suffered a series of misfortunes, which gave him the opportunity to rise to power.

In this respect, he should thank Ethan. Without Ethan's help in dealing with Trafford, it would have been a long time before he rose to power.

At the same time, because he was not one of the former director Michel's men, he was not purged during the reorganization of the Third Division and continued to serve as the captain of the First Squad.

However, for this very reason, he was not given any important positions.

He knew very well where the focus of the entire three departments was now: the southern district.

However, he couldn't get involved in the South District matter; he was assigned another task: to investigate Johnny Blackbird and the traces left by West.

This is also why he was at the Wang Guo Academy of Fine Arts that day.

This is a difficult task, and it's easy to offend people.

Not to mention that he was threatened and scared off by Ethan that day, in order to investigate this matter, he also tried to question several high-ranking officials and members of parliament who had been detained before.

The result can be imagined.

He encountered setbacks almost everywhere.

This is a complete mess.

Perhaps after a while, he'll be removed from his position as captain of the first squad. That would be perfectly logical.

This may also be the idea mentioned above.

He could not accept this outcome.

He wanted to climb higher; there were still many things he hadn't done, such as avenging his brother.

Therefore, he was extremely eager to do something.

Coincidentally, in the last two days, he finally obtained a very important piece of intelligence.

That is, the long-dormant Morma Line has been revived.

In retrospect, this is one of the few things he has gained in these days.

After reviewing the previous information, he captured a member of the Morma resistance organization who was in charge of emergency communications in the capital.

According to this person, any member of the organization in the capital could potentially contact him.

Among them might be Johnny Blackbird and West.

Johnny was overjoyed when he received the news.

The message from the other party was simple: we are out of danger and hope the organization can take us away to Morma.

Who would say they are out of danger at this time?
The answer seems to be getting closer and closer.

Johnny ordered them to go to the streets of the North Side, because the North Side had previously been his territory, making it easier to take action, and the North Side had a railroad, which sounded like a good escape route.

However, the other party refused, saying that there were many people over there and they hoped to help send them away.

Hearing this, Johnny became even more excited. He had taken over the data left behind by Trafford and knew that West and Blackbird Johnny had a group of patients under their care.

That's right.

To reassure the other party, Johnny readily agreed, saying he would bring his men to help them that very night.

The other party finally relented and revealed an address.

West End, slums.

The location is correct.

He just didn't expect the other party to be so bold, having previously hidden in the slums of the West District, and still in the slums now.

No wonder we haven't been able to find any trace of them for so long.

He did not disclose this information.

He knew very well that if others found out about this, he would definitely not get a chance.

He must seize this opportunity.

If he can capture Johnny Blackbird and West himself, his position will be unshakeable.

Therefore, he only recruited his most trusted subordinates to carry out this operation. It was late at night.

West End.

slums.

Johnny was unusually nervous.

He was a man who had seen his share of ups and downs, and was once a prominent figure in the region.

But the wind tonight is definitely different.

"Listen up, everyone. Tonight's mission must be accomplished; failure is not an option. Anyone who dares to stand in my way will be killed."

"Yes."

"Set off."

They moved like a silent shadow in the darkness, and quickly reached their designated location.

Several trucks could be vaguely seen in the darkness.

That's right, trucks are for carrying people, this time we can definitely catch them all in one fell swoop.

Johnny held his breath, told the others to hide in the shadows, and slowly walked out. Before he was completely out, he felt something aimed at his forehead.

"Don't move. Who is it? State your name."

Someone asked a question in the darkness.

"It's me, I'm here to pick you up."

Johnny said slowly.

"only you?"

"I'm all alone. When I get there, there will naturally be someone to meet me."

"it is good."

The other party seemed to have lowered their guard.

However, the next moment, a bullet whistled through the air.

"Something's not right, let's go!"

Johnny dodged the bullet, then heard the sound of a car starting. He immediately realized something was wrong and sent a signal.

"Do it!"

The men who had been lying in ambush rushed out and began firing at the trucks.

However, for some reason, the bullets seemed to be swallowed by the darkness and did not hit the car at all.

Instead, the car started smoothly and sped into the darkness.

"Chase!"

Johnny didn't know what had gone wrong, but it didn't matter; with so many people with them, the other side definitely wouldn't be able to escape.

However, in the end, it will probably attract a lot of attention, and this credit is destined to be diluted.

"Everyone is moving like the wind!"

"Everyone who follows me will double their speed!"

Johnny was already issuing orders rapidly, and his men were not idle either, using their own True Name Power as well.

Thanks to the power of their true names, they were not left behind by the car.

However, the direction the other party fled in...

Southwest?

That's... the sea?

Does the other person have a death wish?
Or... should we head towards the Bis Mountains?
Never mind, let's catch up first.

During the chase, both sides quickly left the western district and reached the coastal highway in the western district.

This road is repaired every year and is in excellent condition; after all, it is an important route connecting the capital and the south.

So once the trucks arrived here, they sped even faster.

Fortunately, Johnny had come prepared, and his men quickly caught up in their car.

Their vehicles were specially modified, so catching up with these trucks was only a matter of time.

Moreover, once they reached this road, it became deserted, which saved them trouble. In the end, he was the only one left to enjoy the fruits of victory.
