Chapter 1771
At Brimmopolis, Clifford was reading the newspaper with his head lowered inside the study room within the Davier family residence.Yanny, the butler respectfully stood in front of him. Apparently, he was reporting the news of his ex-wife to him.He reported that Gillian had led the entire team of skillful fighters from the Goldstein family and went all out against Penny at the South.
Nonetheless, Clifford can't help but frown upon hearing that Penny's little-known bodyguard called Bay Cross had managed to make mincemeat outof her troops.
He took away his sight from the newspaper and looked at the butler, Yanny, “What did you say? All the skillful fighters of the Goldstein family werekilled off by Penny's noteless bodyguard?”
Yanny smiled bitterly, "Sir, I was shocked as well. However, that is the truth.” He then continued, "That bodyguard, Bay Cross came out of nowherebut managed to defeat all the skilled fighters from the Goldstein family singlehandedly.
Clifford was displeased and recalled, “I remember that Gillian has a younger brother named Alan Goldstein. Additionally, he was holding a high-rankposition in the military district of the South.” He then remarked, “What is this fella doing? He just sits idly by while ignoring his sister's predicament inthe South?
Yanny smiled wryly, "Alan had ordered his men to capture the soldiers who assaulted Mr. Goldstein but...”Clifford queried, “Then what happened?”
Yanny replied in a soft voice, "However, a letter from Nathan, General of the North summoning these soldiers was received by Alan shortly after theywere captured. The letter stated that the North will be having a mission involving a mass of soldiers and thus, ought to recruit these soldiers to join inthe operation. Nobody is allowed to stop these soldiers. Those who don't comply will be deemed as hindrances to the military operation and have toface the punishment meted out according to military law.”
Yanny then proceeded to explain, “Alan had no choice but to obligately release all eighteen soldiers of the North that were captured initially.”Clifford scoffed, "Coward! Is that all Alan got?
Yanny disclosed further, “When Bay killed off the entire skilled fighters of the Goldstein family, Alan bought an army of soldiers preparing to shootdown him in order to help his sister settle the score. However...”
Clifford interrupted, “Don't tell me Alan's mobilized troop was also no match for Bay?”
Yanny replied, "That's not the case. In fact, when Alan ordered his subordinates to shoot at Bay, Zach Hill, the Admiral from the South arrivedpersonally.”
Clifford was surprised, “What?”
Yanny mentioned, “Zach Hill andthat fella, Bay-Cross haveestablished avery good rapport. Heeven lashedout at Gillian and her >younger &rother, Alan.” She then =continued, ‘Zach ordered both sheand her brother visit Penny a—" and kneel down-beforehér to apologize. Both of them wereforced to do so. Hence, they did astold. An hour ago, Gillian went backto Brimmopolis crestfallen...”Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Clifford raged, “Why she didn't come to me after being through such a major incident? Why didn't she even talk to me?
Yanny smiled Qitterly, “Mostprobably because she didn't heedMr. DavierS:advice. She still insistedto proceed to the South looking forPenny-{o settle the score. Thug; shegot the short end of the sticks She'snow probably feeling too ashamedtee you.” Content beloigs toNovelDrama.Org
Clifford snorted, “She's been an opinionated woman her entire life!Yanny lowered his head while saying, “Sir, she is your ex-wife after all. Moreover, Mr. Goldstein also got his “ss handed to him.”She added,
‘I guess Mr. Davier should personally intervene in this incident. Otherwise, people might really think that you are afraid of Nathan Cross.
Clifford mulled for a while and spoke, "I thought that transferring Nathan back to the North will allow me to inflict some damage on his family."He thenadded,
"Alas, I didn't expect that a seemingly insignificant but extremely powerful bodyguard would suddenly appear by Penny's side. His presence hadlanded the Goldstein family in deep trouble.”

“I think that Bay Cross is probably someane to be reckoned with.” Clifford squinted his eyes and ordered solemnly, “Yanny, go and investigate BayCross personally.
“If you find out anything suspicious, report back to me immediately. Eliminate him if he is just an ordinary skillful soldier so that both Gillian andCeaser will be appeased.
Yanny replied, "Yes, sir. I'll do it now.”
