<h4>Chapter 2199: Chapter 2199: Picking a Fight</h4>


    A loud explosion startled many escorts.


    Many people hurriedly dressed and rushed out to see what was happening.


    The Gills Alliance’s top-level affairs department was equally on high alert.


    "What’s going on?" Elwood Thorneycroft asked sharply.


    Themotion was significant; something major must have happened.


    But with the Gills Alliance being heavily guarded by people from both Thunderpeak Hall and Hidden Gate, how could such a thing ur?


    "Mrs. Leopold, the sound of the explosion came from the first floor. It sounds... like it came from the basement."


    Someone checked the surveince but saw nothing unusual.


    "Weren’t you all supposed to be monitoring it?" Elwood Thorneycroft turned toward those from Hidden Gate stationed within the Gills Alliance, his face stern.


    "There really is nothing unusual." The Hidden Gate woman pointed at the screen, sounding a bit aggrieved, "We’ve been watching it all along."


    "Contact the person in charge of the basement surveince." Elwood pointed at the person watching over him.


    Granny Xihua trusted no one. Regardless of who was in a high position, there was always someone assigned to watch them.


    "Okay!" The woman swiftly picked up the phone, but after several tries, she couldn’t get through.


    "This is bad!" She clutched the phone and looked at Elwood Thorneycroft: "We’ve lost contact with all of them..."


    After she said this, everyone in the surveince room was dumbfounded.


    "Impossible, in the video, they’re clearly all still..."


    Smack!


    The woman swung her hand and pped someone, angrily scolding, "This is a dereliction of duty! Just wait for Granny Xihua’s punishment!"


    Having said that, she grabbed a long gun and sounded the rm!


    Outside, people gradually gathered, all from Thunderpeak Hall and Hidden Gate.


    Among them were many experts.


    "Go! To the basement!"


    The crowd quickly vanished.


    Inside the affairs department, only Elwood remained.


    "Julius Reed, what is your purpose in creating such amotion?" Elwood picked up a mirror and gently applied some red lipstick.


    The reflection in the mirror was not what it used to be years ago.


    It was a girl in ck leather, full of murderous intent.


    Now, looking at it, she seemed to have fallen into depravity?


    Elwood smiled wryly and crushed the mirror.


    ...


    Inside the Temple of Return to Heaven.


    Ilia Danvers twitched a couple of times, his mouth corner trembling more fiercely.


    He slowly opened his eyes, and the ck threads on his neck broke on their own.


    "I can hardly control the power of the celestial dragon." As he spoke, he couldn’t help the twitching of his mouth corner, his head shivering constantly.


    Like Mr. Pendleton next door.


    But Ilia Danvers couldn’t care less about these things.


    He spread his hands, a look of pain on his face. "In the end, I still couldn’t break that seal. Damn Trent Marsh, transforming into a golden Buddha, leaving me clueless. But it’s okay, once I summon the celestial dragon, everything will be resolved."


    With a leap, the mouth of a statue opened, and Ilia Danvers jumped out.


    As soon as he exited, he sensed something amiss.


    Footsteps!


    What’s going on!


    He lifted his sleeve and nced at the time, surprised: "So much time has passed."


    "Who’s there!"


    Instantly, many Martial Artists rushed in from outside.


    "Heh heh." Seeing the people, Ilia Danvers didn’t maintain any seriousness; instead, his smile carried contempt.


    "A bunch of trash, are you here to court death?"


    Soon, he would have people from Monte over to take over this ce.


    No matter who the opponent was, there could only be one oue.


    Death!


    "Who are you?" The woman Granny Xihua sent to supervise Elwood stood out, pointing at Ilia Danvers: "Daring to trespass on Gills Alliance’s territory! Are you tired of living, or do you wish for a quicker death?"


    This was ssified information!


    The Gills Alliance was established here because there was a temple beneath it.


    "With just you?" Ilia Danvers extended his hand, squinting his eyes!


    Right after, he suddenly clenched his hand!


    Crack!


    The woman’s neck twisted, and she died instantly!


    On her chest, there was a camera, clearly capturing everything that happened.


    Far away, Granny Xihua saw it all.


    "Every single one of you, you all must die." Ilia Danvers grinned, unbuttoned his clothes, and let out a loud roar!


    Boom!


    Everyone in front of him was sted to pieces!


    The ground was covered in blood.


    And shattered limbs.


    "Ridiculous." Ilia Danvers’ mouth twitched slightly, and his eyelid started to twitch too. "Once I decide to leave, no one can stop me."


    Having said that, he staggered out of the basement.


    Along the way, attracting many gazes, but he didn’t care.


    "Dragon’s roar?"


    Outside, Julius Reed was eating melons with Terry Moore and the others.


    The watermelons in Boulevard were very expensive, costing hundreds of thousands each.


    Expensive as they were, they weren’t very tasty.


    "I can do a dragon’s roar too, but his dragon’s roar seems to really be from a dragon."


    Julius Reed squatted in the snow, took a couple of bites, and tossed the rind into the snow.


    Not far away, a group of people hurriedly approached.


    "This is it! A brothel set up on our Sinir family’s territory, having the audacity to hit me! Made me kneel!"


    "Indeed! Members of the Sinir family have also died here! Too arrogant!"


    "Uncle, you must stand up for me."


    The leading middle-aged man had a stern face, filled with killing intent,pletely ignoring the melon-eating crowd dozens of meters away from them.


    "Doing business on the Sinir family’s domain without giving us face, I also want to see what this Gills Alliance is truly about! Today, I’ll take away its bossdy!"


    The man spoke while pointing at the tall building: "However it was built up; I’ll have it copse the same way!"


    "Sinir people." Shadow Kims pointed at the young man: "Prince Sinir. You got beaten by him earlier in the building."


    "Oh, then it’s fine, just the right chance to see who these so-called experts really are." Julius Reedy in the snow, staring at the starry sky.


    "News from inside."


    He mumbled: "Ilia Danvers left, killed a bunch before he went. Now the Gills Alliance is in chaos, the remaining people trying to maintain order."


    This was the information from Elwood, the two had exchanged phone numbers.


    "Ilia Danvers... this guy is very peculiar. Back in the days of the Yan and Huang Emperors, he was far beyond our capabilities. Now he’s mentally unstable, the entire person isn’t right. Probably, it has to do with the celestial dragon."


    Shadow Kims couldn’t help but sigh.


    A thousand years ago, the world was at war.


    A thousand yearster, it’s still conquest.


    Some friends have died, some havepletely changed.


    Even he, once a servant of God, was now drinking happily with Julius Reed.


    This is akin to mice and cats reconciling.


    "How Granny Xihua deals with Ilia Danvers, that’s their business. What I must do now, is snatch Trent Marsh back and figure out how to control the Underworlders."


    Julius Reed muttered to himself.


    The Underworlders are fiercely powerful, whoever possesses them will be the king of this world.


    ...


    Inside Gills Alliance.


    "Everyone get out of my way!" The Sinir family was very arrogantly driving people away.


    "Tell your bossdy to get out here!" Tim Sinir pointed upstairs, angrily saying: "If I don’t get a satisfactory exnation today, our Sinir family will level this ce!"


    "Aren’t you afraid... of spraining your leg?"


    Suddenly.


    A voice came through.


    "Who..."


    Boom!


    Before Tim Sinir could finish,


    a burly man stood in front of him and punched out directly!


    The fist prated Tim Sinir’s body, sttering blood all over Prince Sinir’s face.
