Chapter 88
Evelyn asked a member of the Special Forces Unit in the Ministry of Defense to investigate Jacob Lynch. They found out that he
was the leader of the Scarlet Dragons.
But the Ministry of Defense in Paramount only scratched the surface of the truth behind Jacob Lynch and the Scarlet Dragons.
After all, those that were in Paramount, which was the center of the Central District, had always looked down on the other
districts. Only those who lived in the outer districts would know of the power and dominance of the Scarlet Dragons.
Only organizations like the Blood Thorns that had vast authority could compete with the Scarlet Dragons. However, the Blood
Thorns had underestimated the organization. Although the Blood Thorns managed to eradicate the Scarlet Dragons’ South
District subdivision, the organization was wiped off the face of the earth in return.
When it happened, the East and South Districts were shaken. Even the mercenaries in the South District had to halt all activities
if they wanted to survive the Scarlet Dragons. The reason Evelyn could return a month earlier from the South was the Scarlet
Dragons.
As the wind died down, Jacob walked past the men on the ground, unscathed. He spent years in the outer districts. With the
power shown in recent years, not many would dare to cross his path. Which fool from Paramount would dare to send people to
kill him?
I’ve overpowered the outer districts. Do you think I’ll fear the Central Federation?
“Jake, are you alright?” The young man wheezed, noticing that the middle-aged man was ashen-faced.
The middle-aged man shook his head. “I’m good. How about you?”
The young man opened his mouth to speak but stopped, lowering his face in chagrin. “At least you managed to do something. I
couldn’t even move a muscle.”
Looking at Jacob’s figure walking away, Jake sighed. “We are not weak, Colt. He was too strong.”
“The Scarlet Dragons is just an organization from the outer districts. Is the leader really that strong?” Colt asked grudgingly.
Evelyn managed to recover her energy and was walking towards them when she heard Colt speaking. Paled, she asked with a
quiver in her voice. “Did you just say the Scarlet Dragons?”
Back at the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense, the director was yelling at his subordinate in his office on the 27th floor of
the Paramount Police Bureau building. “Who gave permission for the Special Forces Unit to dispatch?”
The supervisor of the unit, also known as the Elite Forces, shrugged helplessly. “Sir, you know that I have no control over the
unit.”
Lawrence was furious. “Call them and order them to stop whatever they’re doing and return, now!” He glared at the supervisor.
“You better pray that nothing has happened, or else, none of us will make it out alive.”
What’s the worst that could happen? The supervisor was doubtful. Then again, those brats from the unit never took him seriously
just because they were skillful. This would be a good chance for them to get into trouble with the superiors.
The supervisor nodded. “Yes, sir. I’ll call them at once.”
