584.Chapter 584
Anthony thundered, “Damn it! Get down there and find it.”
That Dragonbone Lotus was Anthony’s only chance to recover
As Kingsley plunged off the cliff with the Dragonbone Lotus, Anthony, seated in his creaky wooden wheelchair, was so frantic that he toppled to the ground
Dragging his paralyzed body across the dirt, his bloodshot eyes burned with fury he bellowed, “You must find the Dragonbone Lotust As for that lowlife, I don’t care if he’s dead or alive. If you see him, cut him into pieces
‘Damn that scum!
‘And damn Eliza even more!
‘She’s everywhere, meddling in everything!
I’m her brother, her own flesh and blood!
‘Why does she despise me so much? Can’t she just let me recover in peace?
‘Even now, she’s trying to take what’s mine, trying to destroy my last hope of recovery!
Anthony cursed, “Damn it all! Every single one of you deserves to diet”
At that moment, under the cliff, amidst the snow, Kingsley, battered and bloodied, slowly dragged himself out of the snow.
One arm hung limp and broken, but his other hand gripped the Dragonbone Lotus tightly. Blood clouded his vision as he turned to glance back at Saint Snow City, then staggered away in the opposite direction, his steps unsteady yet determined.
Meanwhile, Eliza, still in Centrina City, had no idea about the events unfolding elsewhere.
After learning at the governor’s mansion that Anthony had arrived in Wotería, she immediately sent out swarms of poisonous bugs to search for him.
To her and Nolan, Anthony wasn’t much of a threat. The only reason they were determined to find him was to prevent any unexpected complications.
Once she suspected that he had come to Wotería in search of medicine, her resolve hardened. There was no way she would let him succeed.
Herpoisonous bugs scoured every corner of Centrína City for an entire day and night, but Anthony remained elusive.
Frustrated, Eliza began to wonder, “Has he left Centrina City?”
The Black Flag had blocked two of the city gates, while her poisonous bugs kept watch over the other two unguarded ones. Yet, there was no sign of Anthony or anyone resembling him leaving the city.
“Could he have left with the group that moved the Immortality Pills from the governor’s mansion instead of leaving alone?*
The Immortality Pills and evidence from the governor’s mansion had indeed been relocated.
But Nolan deliberately let them go.
The evidence and Immortality Pills from the governor’s mansion were only enough to deal with Jefferson. To bring down the entire Malone family, Nolan needed proof of their collusion with the foreign tribes.
When Nolan led the Black Flag to storm the city, it seemed like Jefferson was stalling for time. But in truth, Nolan was using the delay to his advantage.
Once Rayden took the Immortality Pills, Nolan immediately sealed off Centrina City, ensuring no word got out before the Malone family’s downfall was finalized.
Nolan moved swiftly.
In just one day and night, the entire Centrina City was firmly under his control.
He distributed real relief supplies–grain, warm clothing, and even medicine to ward off the cold.
By the end of the day, Eliza and Nolan’s combined efforts had reassured and settled the people of Centrina City.
Eliza finally had some time to ask about her “dear brother Anthony.”
Nolan said, “The scouts reported this morning that three people from the group vanished overnight.
“The sorcerer kept the scouts at bay, so we still don’t know,” Nolan said, shaking his head.
