421: The basement was discovered, and resources were mobilized.

"Pandora Heavenly Lord, Azure Dragon Heavenly Lord, we have eliminated all the enemies in the manor. We discovered a basement beneath the manor, but we cannot enter it. We might need you two to come take a look."

The Members of the Heavenly Lord Society were naturally very strong. Aside from the dozens killed by the butler, most of them easily dealt with the forces within the manor. Although the manor's forces were decent, they were still inferior to the Heavenly Lord Society. Furthermore, some of the manor's strongest personnel had been taken away by Stephen.

"We understand. We are coming immediately."

Jiang Chuan and Pandora both received the message. Hearing this, the two quickly arrived at the location.

"Three rooms?"

When Jiang Chuan and the others reached the basement, they found only three rooms. Moreover, each room was constructed from specialized materials, and the lock for each room was a system. To enter the room, they would have to crack the pattern of the password system; otherwise, there was no way to get inside.

"Try to see if you can destroy these three rooms."

Although Jiang Chuan did not know what these three rooms were for, anything built in a basement must be important. Jiang Chuan immediately issued an order to the Members of the Heavenly Lord Society.

"Yes, Azure Dragon Heavenly Lord."

Following Jiang Chuan's order, everyone continuously fired at the three rooms, but the bullets only sparked upon hitting the specialized material, completely failing to destroy the doors.

"Try using rocket launchers."

Jiang Chuan had not expected the three rooms to be so sturdy. He gave a cold laugh and instructed the Members of the Heavenly Lord Society.

"Understood."

"Pandora Heavenly Lord, Azure Dragon Heavenly Lord, please step back first. I am worried the residual force might harm you."

"It's fine. Proceed with your attack. We will not be injured."

Jiang Chuan said this dismissively. His strength was immense, and he did not care about the residual force, instead ordering them to proceed immediately.

Hearing this, the Members of the Heavenly Lord Society said nothing more. They immediately raised their rocket launchers and fiercely fired at the three rooms.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The shells hit the rooms but still left no trace. This sight made Jiang Chuan even more interested in what lay behind the rooms; he wondered what exactly was inside.

"What happened?"

Hankins and the blonde beauty inside the room felt the entire room shake, causing him to frown instantly, unsure of what was happening.

After saying this, Hankins stood up from the bed without hesitation and walked straight to the door.

"What is this?"

Hankins pressed a button on the door and quickly saw that the outside was filled with Heavenly Lord Society personnel. His expression immediately turned grim. He had not expected to be surrounded today.

He had received news that the Heavenly Lord Society would not act, and he had already begun relocating this place. Stephen had even left here first, but Hankins felt that the Heavenly Lord Society truly wouldn't make a move, so he wanted to indulge himself fully. After all, once he left this place, it would be extremely difficult to find a location where they wouldn't be disturbed.

"Darling, what's wrong?"

Seeing the drastic change in Hankins' expression, the blonde beauty asked worriedly.

"It's nothing. We can't leave here for now. You should rest well for a bit; I have something to handle."

Hankins' expression instantly returned to normal. He told the blonde beauty this, then immediately turned off the electronic jamming inside the room. Right after, Hankins took out his phone. He noticed that Stephen had called him many times, and the butler, along with others, had also called repeatedly. It was just that he had no signal during his 'great battle.'

"Stephen, what exactly happened?"

Hankins immediately called Stephen and asked about the situation.

"I don't know what happened either. All I know is that the Heavenly Lord Society suddenly launched an attack on my manor. If I hadn't left, I might have died here. I tried to contact you at first, but you blocked your signal, so I could only let the butler leave first."

Stephen immediately spoke these words in anger after receiving Hankins' call.

"I understand. Now, send people to rescue me. I have been surrounded by Heavenly Lord Society personnel here and cannot leave temporarily."

Hankins said this calmly after hearing Stephen's words.

"Fine, but you need to temporarily delegate your authority to me. You should know that after you took over my position, most of my power ended up in your hands. Those people won't give me face. If I want the personnel I cultivated and those Official Authorities to act, the power must be in my hands."

Stephen smiled calmly after hearing Hankins' words and stated his condition.

"I understand. I will contact them and transfer the authority to you."

Hankins naturally agreed to Stephen's request. He didn't care about transferring the authority; after all, he hadn't come here to fight Stephen for power. He had only come here to eliminate Jiang Chuan and Pandora. Once he dealt with those two, he could go to the United States and enjoy retirement completely.

"Once I organize the personnel, I will lead them back to the manor."

Stephen said nothing further after hearing Hankins' words, and the two hung up the phone without hesitation.

"That guy is driven by lust. If the U.S. hadn't ordered me to follow your commands, I would have gotten rid of you long ago."

Stephen cursed angrily, but ultimately, he had no choice but to go rescue Hankins.

After all, the U.S. wanted to use Stephen's strength to eliminate Pandora and Jiang Chuan. Therefore, the authority of the Clockwork Country was currently held by Hankins, and he also had to obey Hankins' orders.

Hankins also contacted two people and directly told them to temporarily obey Stephen's orders starting immediately.

Hearing Hankins' words, the two agreed without hesitation, knowing that Hankins was currently their superior.

"Prepare your men and equipment and immediately rush to the manor where I am located."

Stephen also contacted these two people and said coldly that they should take their personnel and rush to the manor as quickly as possible to eliminate Pandora and the others this time.

"Today, I will make sure you all stay here permanently."

Hankins looked at Jiang Chuan and Pandora outside the door, noting they had no intention of leaving, and immediately gave a cold laugh.
