The Evolution Of A Goblin To The Peak Chapter 452 - Wanted

Chapter 452 - Wanted

'Bryan' forcefully grabbed Cyndy but she resisted with everything that she have got so he had no choice but to knock her out.
He raised his hand and chopped the back of her neck.
Pak!
"No..."
Cyndy fell unconscious while looking at 'Bryan's face. She didn't want this to happen at all but what could she do. She didn't have the strength to protect herself.
She was right at all. The security of this country couldn't even protect her and people shouldn't trust their safety to these securities.. It's better if they had the strength to protect themselves.
If she had a time, she would diligently train herself to become a powerful person so that no one could harm her.
"It's done."
'Bryan' said as he placed Cyndy on his shoulder. His eyes moved on the people lying on the pool of blood. He killed all of the guards except for one. That one was the witness that will report everything that happened here.
This plan was perfect will be perfect with the intervention of that family. True experts in investigations will be able to know the truth but with the help of that noble family, the truth will be hidden well.
'Bryan' then left the detention center with Cyndy on his shoulder.
Soon, the guards from other sections arrived at the scene. They saw the corpses of the guards of this center and most of them were dead.
"Quickly, try to find any survivor and give immediate treatment!"
The guards quickly moved and started their operation while blocking this area from ordinary people. In their search, they only found one person alive and that was the chief guard of this detention center. All of his subordinates have died and the people that were arrested in this center were also dead.
No one survived except for the chief guard.
They guessed that the only reason why he survived was because his body was tougher than the rest. He was B-rank so the attack from the criminal didn't quickly kill him.
The crime was done swiftly. The criminal didn't just expect that someone would survive his assault.
Everything was just their speculation as they needed to talk to the chief guard to find if he saw the appearance of the culprit.
When the chief guard told them everything that he saw, the rest were stunned as they could hardly believe it. A lot of people heard Bryan's name as he was one of the most talented students in the Liven Academy. Also, he was brought here by the princess herself.
"Hurry up and find Bryan! He's the prime suspect of this crime and don't engage him alone! He's a powerful A-rank so be careful!"
...
Bryan was suspected of killing the dozens of guards in the detention center. It caused an uproar in the whole place and several people were shocked when they found about it.
The guards spread out and tried to find Bryan who they thought that killed those people. The guards even went to the dormitory to ask about Bryan.
"What?!"
Lumilia and Lynn couldn't believe it when the guards called them and told them about Bryan being a suspect of a gruesome crime.
"It's impossible. Bryan wouldn't kill a person easily. In fact, if he wanted to rescue that girl he would have knocked out the guards. He's the one who hates unnecessary killing in our group."
Lumilia tried to explain to the guards about Bryan's personality.
"I'm sorry, miss. I know it's hard to believe but we have a witness that says it was Bryan who did the crime. Unless you have a proof that he's not the one who killed the guards then we can only detain him."
The guards said to Lumilia. Then, they asked the two about where did they last talk about Bryan or if they know his possible location.
Lumilia and Lynn cooperated with the guards and they answered all the questions. It was shocking but they had to cooperate well as Lumilia sensed that the guards were suspecting them in hiding Bryan. After all, Bryan was a member of their legion and he's not an ordinary member. Instead, he was one of the core members of the legion.
After questioning the two, the guards left to report to their superiors.
Lynn looked at the door and she turned to Lumilia. "What should we do, Mila? Bryan wouldn't do that, right?" She asked with a concerned look on her face.
"Yeah, we know Bryan and I'm sure that he didn't kill those guards." Lumilia nodded as she narrowed her eyes.
Now... this was a huge problem and it probably caught the attention of various people in this country.
Lumilia sighed and said, "We don't have information so we'll start by investigating it. It seems that Bryan involved himself in some kind of huge trouble."
"Yeah, should we tell Souta about it?" Lynn nodded and asked.
"No, I don't want him to worry about the matters here since he wasn't here so I want to settle this problem without informing him." Lumilia paused for a moment and something came into her mind. "Let's visit the princess. I'm sure that she would be able to gather information better than us as we couldn't freely move in this country."
She was sure that a lot of people were going to watch their movements as Bryan was involved in a heinous crime. They would watch and see if Lumilia and Lynn have a way to contact Bryan.
...
The director in the branch of Lanny corp was also visited by the guards. It was natural as he visited the detention center with Bryan a few hours ago before the sunset.
"What?! You're telling me that Sir Bryan killed the guards and freed the girl!" He couldn't believe what he just heard.
"Yes, we have a witness so can you tell us where is he." The guard asked with a plain expression. "If he didn't have an alibi then we could only arrest him. There's nothing that we can do about it."
The director was in daze. Various scenarios formed in his mind and he tried to think of a reason why Bryan would do that.
'Surely not, We've formed a plan to help the girl but killing the guards isn't in our plan.'
He said inwardly before he turned towards the guard and said, "I'm sorry, Bryan just returned to his dormitory so if he isn't there then I don't know where he went."
After the guards left, the director narrowed his eyes as he looked at the windows. He knows that Bryan wouldn't do that and it seems that the enemy planned ahead of them. Bryan was caught up with this and now he became a criminal.
'Something isn't right with this. The enemy moved so fast and it seems that there is an enemy in the detention center. Could it be the witness?'
The Bentley Family was a very wealthy. They had tons of assets that could cost hundreds of thousands of platinum coins. But to make an A-rank move like that... It seems that they were hiding some of their forces.
'I need to gather information about the ranks of the Bentley Family.'
He thought as he turned around and called his subordinates.
Although the Bentley Family was wealthy, their family head was only at the shackled realm. He only broke two of his shakes making him an SS-rank powerhouse. They had several S-rank and A-rank in their households.
It was a strong force but compared to the Ten Great Families, it was nothing.
'They got us this time. I need to tell Miss Lumilia and my superiors about this case. I can't do this alone. They've quickly taken out Bryan.'
...
Bargan was sitting comfortably inside a room somewhere in the Eternal Empire. A lot of people were around him and all of them had a powerful presence.
"So why are you on guard against me?" He asked with a plain expression as he slightly tilted his head and looked at the person in front of him.
The person in front of him was no ordinary man. This tall man wearing full plate golden-colored armor was one of the most powerful commanders of the Eternal Empire.
"You know that your student is the prime suspect of killing dozens of guards so we're here to prevent you from making a move." The commander said to Bargan.
"Yeah, I'm aware of that and I know that my student wouldn't do something like that. But I'm also aware that all of you here couldn't stop me if I want to make a move. How many of you have a blessing? and how many demigods did you bring with you?" Bargan smiled and the atmosphere of the room rose to the peak. An intense heatwave swept out in every direction. "Oh? There's a barrier?"
"Yes, we have prepared everything. These barriers are focus on heat and flame resistance so these layers of barriers can withstand the temperature up to fifty million degrees celsius." The commander explained.
"Oh, then what about physical attack?" Bargan asked with an amused expression.
"I know that you brought your Heavenly Orb Flame and the Phoenix Deity Armor set with you to prevent any unexpected situation like what happened in the Ladros City. But we are also prepared to hold you back here." The commander paused for a moment before he added, "So I'm asking you to stay here for a while and don't make any move that will break our alliance. I've tasked my capable subordinates to thoroughly investigate the scene so don't worry about your student."
Even though he was a person that broke all ten shackles in his body, he still think that he wouldn't win against Bargan. Especially, if Bargan brought his equipment with him.
This person even used several stars to cultivate his flames in the past. And those stars were gone and became a part of his power.
