<strong>Chapter 1776: Chapter 1776: Theft</strong>


    The banquet today is of no small scale.


    Usually, only one or two people from each sect are eligible to attend.


    Boulevard has Brant Fairbanks and Julius Reed, so naturally, there is no role for Tennyson Hawthorne.


    Guards outside will certainly stop anyone without an invitation.


    But now, in front of so many martial artists, the Deputy Dean of Ocean Academy is breaking the rules, forcibly intruding, and even injuring the guards.


    This is too arrogant!


    “What’s going on!”<fn5b35> ?????? ???? find(?)ovel</fn5b35>


    Already filled with rage, Han Caldwell shouted angrily.


    Is there no regard for rules in the eyes of these people from Ocean Academy?


    “Tennyson Hawthorne, what’s the hurry?”


    Brant Fairbanks pretended to scold dissatisfiedly, “How can you, as the Vice Dean, not understand the rules! Quickly apologize to everyone, and then step back!”


    “Dean!”


    Tennyson Hawthorne’s expression was tense. Instead of apologizing, he walked straight up to Brant Fairbanks, “Dean, our Ocean Jade has been stolen!”


    “What!”


    The wine ss in Brant Fairbanks’s hand fell directly onto the table.


    “Ocean Jade is the most treasured asset of our Ocean Academy. Seeing the jade is as if I am personally present! How could such a precious thing be lost! Did you make a mistake due to confusion?”


    After he finished speaking, Julius Reed also asked on the side, “Director Hawthorne, the Ocean Jade can mobilize everyone in our academy. Such a precious thing in the Caldwell family can’t be lost. I would think Mr. Caldwell’s security system should be foolproof.”


    “Indeed, my family has monitoring everywhere, as well as patrols by guards. Additionally, every entrance has someone on guard. It’s nearly impossible for a theft to ur.” Han Caldwell had to grit his teeth as he answered.


    Martial Artists are also people and care about their privacy and the security of their treasures.


    Considering Boulevard’s strength, most attending sects are prominent families, so they weren’t too concerned about the safety of their belongings.


    Now, hearing Tennyson Hawthorne mention the theft of a treasure, everyone’s heart tightened.


    “It’s absolutely true! Originally, I also thought the Caldwell family security was fine, so I ced the treasure in the Gray Wolf Pavilion. But who knew, just checking back, I found it gone.”


    Tennyson Hawthorne suddenly knelt in front of Brant Fairbanks, bowing his head low, “Please, Dean, give me your judgment!”


    Bang!


    Upon hearing this, Brant Fairbanks mmed the table in front of him, standing up and rebuking, “That is the treasure of our academy, extremely precious! Go find it, right now! If it’s not found, I’ll have your life!”


    This statement immediately piqued the curiosity of the martial artists.


    It seems that the treasure of Ocean Academy truly has been lost.


    However, who on earth dared to cause trouble for Ocean Academy.


    Han Caldwell couldn’t help but speak, “Have you figured this out? It’s impossible for a treasure to be stolen in my Caldwell family!”


    Boulevard’s event, most martial artists cherish their privacy.


    To this end, Han Caldwell arranged for many people to clean the rooms and set up round-the-clock guards.


    As for the location of Ocean Academy, that’s Gray Wolf Pavilion!


    The most prestigious ce for Caldwell family to receive foreign guests.


    Inside are the top sects.


    These people would not engage in petty theft.


    Besides, whether the matter is true or false, with Tennyson Hawthorne causing such a scene, the security level of Caldwell family will surelye into question.


    “I’ve searched countless times and confirmed it was stolen.” Tennyson Hawthorne knelt on the ground, his face full of anxiety, “Using this device, I found the stolen treasure is in this hall. So, I rushed in regardless of anything.”


    On a top-grade treasure, martial artists will leave marks.


    Convenient for tracking.


    Now with the treasure stolen, Tennyson Hawthorne with a tracker, it is well within expectations.


    “In this room? Are you sure?” Brant Fairbanks shook his head, pointing at the martial artists present, “Those who cane here are all elites. I believe these illustrious figures of the martial arts world wouldn’t do such thieving acts.”


    “Indeed, don’t speak carelessly!” Han Caldwell looked at Tennyson Hawthorne, feeling something was amiss.


    “I’m not lying.” Tennyson Hawthorne raised both hands, presenting the disy to Brant Fairbanks.


    On it, a red dot was particrly noticeable.


    He held the disy, instinctively looking at the red dot’s location.


    Intentionally or not, he revealed a part of the disy’s screen.


    “Isn’t that the position of the Caldwell family members?”


    “Could it be, Caldwell family stealing from themselves? If that’s the case, we absolutely cannot stay!”


    “Let’s see what Han Caldwell says, maybe it’s just a misunderstanding again.”


    The martial artists lifted their heads, following the red dot’s location.


    Sitting there were people from the Caldwell family.


    Han Caldwell frowned slightly, seemingly realizing theplexity of the situation.


    “Dean Fairbanks, can I take a look?” he immediately asked.


    Dys can lead to changes!


    “I can let you see, but until this matter is rified, Mr. Caldwell should remain neutral.”


    Brant Fairbanks held the disy, walking step by step towards the position of the Caldwell family members.


    “Brant Fairbanks, what are you going to do!” Han Caldwell finally couldn’t help but speak.


    That was his family member!


    The face of the family!


    “I am looking for the thief. This was lost at your Caldwell family; it’s okay if you don’t help. But do you also want to stop me?” Brant Fairbanks’s assertiveness was rare.


    Giving Han Caldwell no face at all.


    “I hope you have evidence and are not causing unrest, spreading rumors!” Han Caldwell tried hard to suppress his anger.


    Brant Fairbanks paid him no mind, walking step by step.


    Finally, the location of the red dot coincided with Brant Fairbanks.


    And sitting in front of this Dean was none other than Cold Haven!


    “Could it really be the Caldwell family stole it?”


    “If it’s true, this situation is truly troublesome.”


    The martial artists weren’t foolish, instantly understanding Brant Fairbanks’s meaning.


    “I… I didn’t do anything…” Cold Haven stammered while sitting in the chair.


    He felt especially oppressed!


    That was Brant Fairbanks’s invisible aura!


    “Whether stolen or not, it’s not up to me or you. Everything, evidence will speak.”


    With that, Brant Fairbanks suddenly reached into Cold Haven’s embrace!


    He took out a piece of jade.


    The jade was expertly crafted, made of high-purity material, with the characters “Ocean” engraved on it.


    Seeing this jade, Cold Haven turned pale.


    He lifted his head, but there was no sight of Julius Reed’s gaze anymore.


    “Everyone, this is the Ocean Jade, a symbol of power of our Ocean Academy! Unexpectedly, it was actually stolen!”


    Brant Fairbanks lifted the Ocean Jade, looking directly at Han Caldwell, “Mr. Caldwell, give me an exnation! Even the most important thing from my academy dared to be stolen, your Caldwell family is quite bold!”


    With this said, the martial artists boiled again.


    They thought tonight was just an ordinary meal, but never expected that Ocean Academy and the Caldwell family would sh!


    This trip was well worth it!


    “Cold Haven, what exactly is going on! Exin to me!” Han Caldwell lowered his voice, roaring, “You are my son, I believe you didn’t steal! Exin to them clearly!”


    With evidence and people caught, to make excuses there had to be some effort.


    “I…”


    Before Cold Haven could finish, Julius Reed already interrupted, “This afternoon, only he has been to our room.”
