King's Awakening

Sayon, Jones Group.

After leaving Thaw Mall, White Mitchell drove Sherry Jones back to the company. On the way, Sherry was very concerned about White’s situation. She didn’t want him to show up at the Thaw Mall the next day; she didn’t want him to provoke the Green Family.

After all, she was well aware that if it wasn’t for her, White wouldn’t have gotten himself into such trouble.

Now, White, who had already made numerous enemies, had the Green family added to his list.

This made Sherry feel extremely guilty.

But White insisted on going and even reassured her that nothing would happen, that he could handle the situation.

Obviously, such reassurances did not ease Sherry’s inner turmoil. Instead, as time went on, her feeling of unease grew heavier.

Eventually, she was nearly breathless under the pressure.

She knew that White’s presence at the scene today was no coincidence. He likely rushed over because he knew she was in danger.

But this only increased Sherry’s guilt about involving White in her issues.

However, White never blamed her. Instead, he said with a calm demeanor, “Having many debts is not oppressive, less so having many enemies.”

Hearing White say this made Sherry even more upset.

Yet, to avoid worrying White, Sherry put on a brave face and returned to her office, pretending everything was fine.

Meanwhile, after leaving the Jones Group, White went straight to find Kylin.

Recently, Kylin had been assisting Beckett and had made some progress, helping Beckett to secure his position while also earning some reputation.

However, when Kylin heard that White had orders for him, he immediately set aside what he was doing and rushed over with his team.

Those who came were not just one person. Actually, everyone, including Longman, Amanda, David Herb, came. They had not seen White since their last meeting at the Cooper house.

Now that they had a rare chance to prove themselves in front of White, they certainly didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

When Longman heard that they were going against Thaw Mall, he immediately proposed, “There’s no need for all this fuss. I can take people straight there now, put a knife to that Dominic Anderson’s neck, and he’ll learn some manners!”

As he spoke, Longman instinctively rubbed his bald head, displaying a fierce expression.

With these words, both Amanda and David Herb couldn’t help but roll their eyes at him.

Then David Herb spoke up, “Mr. Mitchell, the Green family and the Weiden family both belong to the Sayon business alliance. Their power is intricate and complex; we cannot provoke them rashly. If we act recklessly, it might lead to serious consequences. In that case, your true identity might be…”

His words were full of concern, as he was well aware that the Martial Department was behind the Weiden family.

If the three of them jointly took action against Jones and Weiden families, it was unlikely that the Martial Department would simply stand by and watch.

Through their time together, David Herb had come to realize that White wasn’t a simple man, and he also knew that White didn’t want to reveal his identity.

If the Martial Department got involved, White would inevitably have to show some of his cards, and his identity might not remain hidden. David suspected that this was not something that White wanted to see.

After hearing these words, White nodded in agreement. What David Herb had said was exactly what he was thinking.

It wasn’t time for him to reveal all his cards yet. Besides, dealing with the Weiden family and the Green Family, two minor obstacles, wasn’t worth for him to deploy the War Department’s forces.

With that in mind, White calmly said, “Kylin, contact Bentley. Tell him that I want to see Thaw Mall closed before sunset. I don’t care how he does it. All I want to see are the results. Thaw Mall cannot operate without my order. As for the others, help Bentley in whatever way you can. Also, teach the Green family a lesson. If I don’t see Dominic Anderson kneeling at Thaw Mall tomorrow, the Green family will have no reason to exist!”

After receiving the orders, everyone hurried into action, not daring to slack off.

Half an hour later.

A row of Sayon Supervision Department’s blue and white patrol vehicles arrived at the entrance of the Thaw Mall. There were dozens of them, effectively blocking all four entrances and exits of the mall in an instant.

Following this, fully armed patrolmen quickly poured out of the vehicles and stormed into the mall.

The customers who were shopping at the time saw this and thought that there was some kind of emergency. They all rushed out of the mall in a swarm.

Even the store attendants were seriously scared.

At this point, the shift leader of Thaw Mall, rushed out from his office in a panic.

Dominic Anderson had already left the mall, and she was now the only one managing the place.

“Sir…What happened? What’s the situation? Our mall…” The shift leader wanted to ask what was going on, but was immediately silenced by a stern glance from the arresting officer.

After that, she froze on the spot, staring at the arresting officers with a terrified look.

“There has been a report of dangerous goods in Thaw Mall, we are preparing to start a search. Everyone in your team, get out. Thaw mall is now under the control of The Patrol!” An arresting officer took out the search order and said coldly.

Dangerous goods?

The shift leader was stunned and a troubled look appeared on her face. She cautiously asked again, “How long will the search take? Our mall needs to open too, if…”

But before she could finish, the arresting officer interjected bluntly, “Just go out when told to. There’s no precise timetable for such a search.

If it’s quick, a few hours. If it’s slow, ten to fifteen days. If the search doesn’t turn up anything, two to three months is not out of the question.

If you’re in a hurry to work, find another company.”

Two… two to three months?

Whoosh!

Upon hearing these words, the shift leader’s face whitened instantly.

They might as well close down Thaw Mall at this rate.

If it really does take two to three months, wouldn’t all the tenants in this place switch sides?

Moreover, they would even claim compensation from Thaw Mall since this is due to their ineffective security measures.

As the shift leader herself, she would definitely be the first target. At that time, a fine or being laid off would be minor matters compared to being held responsible by the Green Family. That would indeed be a disaster.

As she thought of this, the shift leader couldn’t help but shiver all over. She hurriedly tried to explain, but the arresting officers did not give her a chance to speak. They started pulling up the police line.

Seeing this, the shift leader turned pale and hurriedly dialed Dominic Anderson to explain the situation.

“What! The patrol officers sealed off the mall!?” Upon receiving this message, Dominic Anderson immediately drove to the scene.

“Who is responsible for this order? How could the Green Family not be notified in advance? You must convey to your chief immediately that I am Dominic Anderson of the Green Family! Have him come over as soon as possible!” The moment he arrived, Dominic was all rebuke.

Facing the infuriated Dominic Anderson, the leader of the patrolling officers looked unafraid. He met Dominic’s gaze and said sternly, “Who you think you are, Dominic Anderson? Even if your father, Messiah Anderson came, there’s no room for a face-saving compromise!

If you’re not afraid of death, ask Messiah Anderson to speak to Director Ayden himself.”

Di… Director Ayden!?

Dominic Anderson’s expression froze, and he said with a sullen face, “Was this an order from Director Ayden!?”

The Green Family could ignore a regular arresting officer, but they couldn’t ignore the department head of the Sayon Supervision Department.

After all, The Patrol was responsible for maintaining daily order in Dragon Realm, and they had guns and cannons at their disposal.

A regular arresting officer might not have the power to use those arms, but the department head of Sayon Supervision Department definitely had such rights.

Yet Dominic Anderson never expected that this order would have been issued by Bentley himself.

This just made the problem worse.

Looking at Dominic Anderson with disgust, the leading arresting officer curled his lips in a chilling sarcastic smile as if he were looking at a clown.

Then he led his men to clear out the area, Dominic Anderson was also ushered out without ceremony.

After being thrown out of the mall, Dominic Anderson’s face became extremely grim. Annoyed and embarrassed, he said, “Who on earth has provoked Bentley? This is unacceptable! I must find out who this reckless person is!

If I ever find out who provoked Bentley, I swear I’ll make sure they regret it!”

After this outburst, Dominic Anderson immediately dialed a number and started heading home hastily.
