359: Royal palaces and castles, cold-blooded methods

"Prepare to move. Don't make any noise."

Jiang Chuan looked at the Enforcement Team Members beside him and reminded them.

"Understood, Lord Heavenly Master."

The Law Enforcement Team Member heard Jiang Chuan's words, nodded respectfully, and then watched as everyone approached the castle.

"What are you doing here? Hurry up and look for the Empress."

When the guards saw Jiang Chuan and his group walking toward them, the faces of the castle guards immediately changed drastically, and they shouted a reprimand.

The Law Enforcement Team Members approaching the guards did not speak; instead, they quickened their pace.

Swish, swish, swish!

The ten Law Enforcement Team Members were too fast. By the time the guards sensed the danger and tried to act, it was already too late. The daggers of the ten Law Enforcement Team Members immediately pierced their throats, preventing them from uttering a single word. They could only collapse onto the Enforcement Team Members before slowly falling to the ground, losing their lives.

"Approach."

Jiang Chuan watched the Enforcement Team Members eliminate the guards and immediately gave the order.

The patrol team that Jiang Chuan was with also moved closer to them.

"You stay here and stand guard. Alert us if anyone approaches. The rest of you follow me inside to complete the mission."

Jiang Chuan said this to another Law Enforcement Team, and then led the others quickly into the castle.

There were actually not many people inside the castle, as most of the personnel had already been dispersed by Aldo. After all, his primary goal was the Empress; as long as he controlled or killed the Empress, he would be able to completely control Eagle Country.

Moreover, the most important factor was that Aldo believed the Imperial Palace of Eagle Country was the safest place, and he was not worried about his own security, which is why he had sent most of the personnel throughout the palace to search for the Empress.

Inside the castle restaurant, Aldo was currently savoring fine food while listening to reports from his subordinates.

"Trash! A bunch of useless trash! You've been searching for so long, yet you can't even find one old woman."

"I'll give you two more days, tops. If you still haven't found her in two days, send them all to dig coal."

Hearing that the old woman still hadn't been found, Aldo was so angry he couldn't eat the delicious food in his mouth, roaring in exasperation.

"Yes, Prince."

The stern-faced man in a black suit beside Aldo respectfully replied, then left his side and quickly relayed Aldo's command.

"Still no results? After all this time, you still haven't taken over all of Eagle Country."

Just as the man left, Aldo received a phone call. The voice on the other end spoke with inherent authority.

"I can't help it either. These useless people have been searching for that old woman for so long, yet they haven't found a trace of her. Furthermore, I don't even know where she is hiding. Clearly, she has been guarding against me. Give me three more days. After three days, I will definitely find the old woman and take control of all of Eagle Country."

"Alright, hurry up. Once you take control of all of Eagle Country, we can begin our plan."

The person on the phone agreed to Aldo's words, as the upcoming plan still required Eagle Country's participation.

"I understand the importance of this matter. Three days at the most."

After Aldo finished speaking, he hung up the phone. His expression turned grim, and he stopped enjoying his food.

"Jackson, get in here!"

Aldo's icy voice rang out, and the stern-faced man who had left entered again.

"Prince, how may I be of assistance?" Jackson asked respectfully to Aldo.

"I don't have time to keep messing around with that old woman. The royal family members I told you to control—have you secured all of them?"

Aldo looked coldly at Jackson and slowly spoke these words.

"Yes, the royal family members have all been secured by us. They are currently locked up in the dungeon," Jackson replied respectfully when he heard Aldo's words.

"Immediately issue my command: prohibit anyone from approaching the palace. Anyone who dares to approach the palace will be killed without mercy."

"At the same time, use the largest loudspeaker. The sound must carry throughout the entire palace. Tell that old woman that if she continues to hide, I will kill the royal family members. If she doesn't come out in half an hour, I will kill one person, until all the royal family members are dead."

Aldo had now gone mad, speaking these words with utter coldness.

"I understand, Prince," Jackson nodded respectfully, then quickly left to carry out these instructions.

"Old woman, you only have yourself to blame for all of this. If you had cooperated honestly and hadn't hidden, I wouldn't have to execute these royal family members. After all, they are my relatives too," Aldo said, his eyes sinister and full of malice.

On the other side, Jiang Chuan and his group did not immediately rush into the castle to search for Aldo, but instead cautiously cleared out the sentries around the castle.

"Heavenly Master, the enemies around the castle have been dealt with."

"Well done. Now, let's go in."

Jiang Chuan nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Song Kui's words, spoke to the group, and then the group quickly approached the inside of the castle.

Jackson had now arranged for external personnel to guard the palace perimeter, forbidding anyone from approaching, and had also prepared the loudspeaker, ready to relay the Prince's command to the Empress hiding in the shadows at any moment.

"Who is it?"

Jackson, having heard that his subordinates were ready, immediately issued the Prince's command. Just as he was about to return to the Prince's chambers to inform Aldo of the matter, he suddenly sensed movement coming from the direction of the main hall and immediately spoke out coldly.

Jackson frowned when he saw that the main hall was empty. He then drew the pistol from his waist and cautiously entered the hall, intending to investigate the situation.

Bang.

Jackson's reaction was fast enough, but his strength was still too weak compared to Jiang Chuan's. Jiang Chuan delivered a fierce elbow strike, instantly sending Jackson flying, followed by a combination of punches that immediately rendered Jackson incapable of fighting.

"Where is Aldo?"

Jiang Chuan walked up to Jackson. He had not struck to kill; the opponent was definitely still alive, though severely injured at most.

"Make him talk properly."

Seeing that Jackson was unwilling to speak, Jiang Chuan gave Song Kui an icy look and instructed him.

"Yes."

Song Kui nodded, gave Jackson a fierce look, and then had someone cover his mouth and immediately began the torture.
