I'm the Fourth Calamity, but They Call Me a Saint

Chapter 337 Barrier Safe House

After Levi left Huck's house, Huck did not sleep all night.

The next day, he skipped work and did not go to the city to sweep the damn street again, but stayed at home waiting for news.

He knew very well what Levi would do after getting Descente's position, so the result would only appear today, and what kind of ending was waiting for his entire family would soon be known.

Just today, no one in the Huck family went out all day, and the four members of the family stayed in the hut.

Around 10 o'clock in the morning, an illusory figure appeared in front of Huck's family.

Seeing the phantom of the Twilight Saint, even though they had contacted yesterday, Huck and his father still behaved very solemnly and piously.

627 did not say any extra nonsense and directly conveyed the words that Levi asked her to convey.

"At 10:20, the tax officer of the agricultural area will come to visit and invite you to leave. You don't need to bring anything except some necessary things. Follow him, he will take you to the Xinlan station and take the train to Iris."

"Getting on the train means your family is safe, and after arriving in Iris, someone will contact you and make follow-up arrangements for you. There you will have a new job and a new home."

627's words made Huck's face show a pleasant expression.

He has been worried and irritable, just don't want his family to be implicated, the family will end up with a dead end.

And now, such an arrangement is equivalent to rescuing them from Xinlan. As long as they leave this city, no matter where they go, it will not be a problem for the family to survive.

Huck's father also exhaled, but the sorrow between his eyebrows did not dissipate.

His family was born and raised in Xinlan for three generations, and they have never left this city in their lives. Now they are suddenly leaving, which makes him inevitably feel a sense of loss and confusion about the future.

But Huck's father now knew that they had no choice.

It was a blessing in disguise that they could escape from Xinlan alive, and he had no extravagant expectations for what life would be like after leaving.

Soon, the Huck family packed their small luggage, and the tax collector who was like a local tyrant in the agricultural area came as promised.

They got on the tax collector's car, and he took them to the station to get the tickets for the next train to Iris, and then boarded the train at noon.

Before getting on the train, the tax collector gave them a suitcase of cash!

The Huck family had never seen so much money in their lives!

Especially this money was given to them by the tax collector who was like a Pixiu who only took in and never gave out!

However, just as they got on the train carriage that was specially reserved for their family.

Huck was suddenly shocked to find that there was an unconscious person sitting in the last row of seats in the carriage!

...

The Grand Duke's Mansion suddenly became tense and busy on this day.

This morning, the usually mild-tempered Grand Duke Stuart, for some unknown reason, punished more than a dozen people at once and sank them all into the underground river on the outskirts of Newland!

Then his personal secretary was also dismissed and replaced directly, and then everyone was assigned tasks to keep a close eye on two groups of people in the city.

From this day on, the atmosphere of the entire Newland became a little weird.

Even ordinary citizens could feel that there were more people on the road who felt very strange on weekdays.

Just as Grand Duke Stuart guessed, the people brought by Sherlock and those from Green Day in the city encountered each other!

They were eyeing a common prey and had a common purpose in this city. After both sides knew each other, the smell of gunpowder began to spread throughout the city.

For three consecutive days, there were melees and injuries of varying sizes in various parts of Newland.

The Xinlan Police Station was overwhelmed by this, because the people who did these things were obviously not ordinary people. The police station directly under the Council of Elders could only handle some ordinary cases and crimes, and such matters involving scientists could only be handled by people from the Grand Duke's Mansion.

However, under the order of Grand Duke Stuart, the people from the Grand Duke's Mansion only monitored the two groups of people, and did not intervene in the dispute between them, nor did they stop it.

This affected many powerful and influential people in the Xinlan city area, because those people basically only made trouble in the noble district, and those who were affected were also people with wealth and power in the city.

And just when the people from the West District Alliance and Green Day seemed to be making more and more violent troubles in the city and getting out of control, those who were sent out from the Grand Duke's Mansion, under the huge pressure of more than a dozen colleagues being thrown into the river to feed the fish because of incompetence, really found some very valuable gains!

Whether it was the people brought by Sherlock or Green Day, they seemed to have been fighting around the city, but in fact, the people scattered in the city were all small characters fighting. These people arranged the truly powerful people to the outer barriers, and while they were on guard against each other, they didn't know what they were looking for.

After receiving this news, Grand Duke Stuart immediately guessed that this was a tacit understanding between the Western District Alliance and Green Day.

They all knew that whoever could find the Grand Duke's "parents" first would have the absolute initiative.

But such an initiative could not fall into the hands of Grand Duke Stuart himself. At least before the situation was clear, no one wanted the Stuart family to find someone first.

Therefore, they deliberately created an illusion in the city, trying to attract Xinlan's attention to this, and the real manpower was all distributed near the barrier. Obviously, that was the most likely place to hide people.

As soon as he got the news, Grand Duke Stuart figured out these things.

And what the Alliance and Green Day wanted to stop together was exactly what he needed to do most.

It didn't matter how those rumors spread, but once those two idiots were caught and someone had actual evidence, it would be different.

No matter who finds the person, they can use this to force him to surrender. But if he finds the person first, it means that he has the initiative. Neither the Alliance nor Green Day can threaten him. He can choose to determine his position at a more appropriate time, and at the same time, he has no worries and is not afraid of giving others a handle.

So, after confirming that the person must be hidden in the southeast corner of the barrier, Grand Duke Stuart walked out of the Grand Duke's Mansion without alarming anyone, came to the barrier, and began to search for himself.

He took over almost all of the Stuart family, but there were still some core secrets that he could not get.

The safe house hidden on the barrier is one of them. He has no clue what is hidden behind this barrier. Even if he has turned over all the files in the Stuart family, he can't find it.

Just when the Grand Duke himself wandered around the barrier for many days and still had no gains, he couldn't help but feel irritated.

The Alliance and Green Day made a big move!

The spies of the Grand Duke's Mansion, who had been keeping an eye on those people, reported the news to Grand Duke Stuart.

The night before, the son of Duke Green of the Alliance used some unknown method to open a stone door in front of a stone wall and caught the young man wanted by Xinlan from inside!

That scene happened to be discovered by the people of Green Day. The two sides fought in front of the barrier. The son of the Duke was particularly brave. The Green Day side suffered heavy casualties. Although the people were not taken away by Green Day, they did not fall into the hands of the Alliance.

The student of Xinlan School named Descente who disappeared with the Grand Duke's "parents" took advantage of the chaos to escape!

And just when he escaped from the chaos, the people of the Grand Duke's Mansion who had been observing in the dark targeted him, but the orders given to them by the Grand Duke never included the item of arresting people, so these people just helped in secret, helping this young man with only the first-level strength to successfully get rid of the two people who reacted late, and finally escaped to a factory near the barrier and hid.

After doing all this, the news also reached the hands of Grand Duke Stuart.

He deliberately ordered his men not to arrest people.

Regarding the secret that cannot be seen in the light, of course, the fewer people who know about it, the better, especially the key witnesses, it is best not to contact anyone, and leave it all to him to solve personally.

After getting the specific hiding place of Descente, Grand Duke Stuart came to the employee dormitory of the factory that evening.

Descente was hiding in one of the abandoned warehouses. The Grand Duke did not hesitate or dawdle. In the current Xinlan, he is the only chosen one and the strongest existence.

If the person has not been found, he will still be a little afraid of the two forces, but now the key figure is about to fall into his hands, then the person who should be afraid should naturally be replaced by someone else!

He suddenly pushed open the iron door of the warehouse, and with a "bang", the faint light outside pierced the darkness in the room.

In the corner of the room where all kinds of miscellaneous items were piled up in a mess, there was a ragged, pale-faced young man who looked like a homeless person, curled up in the corner, looking helplessly and desperately at the Grand Duke standing in front of the door!

When he saw the face that was exactly the same as the one on the wanted poster, Grand Duke Stuart finally smiled.

A cold and ferocious smile.

He didn't see any movement, and the next moment, the ground under his feet slid from where Descente was like an elevator.

The Grand Duke's body did not move, but Descente, who was shivering in the corner, was carried by the sliding land in an instant and sent to Grand Duke Stuart!

This young man who had studied in Xinlan School for five years obviously recognized the face that appeared countless times in newspapers and TV news, and knew who the big man standing in front of him was.

His face became even paler, like a piece of paper, looking bloodless, and his eyes were full of fear.

The Grand Duke grabbed him by the collar and spoke in a low, yet chilling voice like the devil from hell.

"Descente, a pariah from the agricultural area! Because of my grace, you are qualified to go to school and open your eyes to see things that you could never imagine in your life before, and this is how you repay me?"

Descente's whole body was shaking, and he looked like he was crying from fear, and even his teeth were chattering.

"This, this is not our fault! The school wronged us! They are unwilling to give us a chance to live! We can only fight to the death!"

"Then have you never thought about your family?" The Archduke's voice was very light and slow, but it made people tense up. "After doing such a thing, do you think your parents, relatives and friends can still live in Xinlan?"

Descente's spirit seemed to collapse. His eyes were dull, as if he had completely fallen into despair. Except for the rapid breathing, he no longer made any movement, like a body without a soul.

"You can't escape the death penalty, but I can give your family a chance to live. It depends on whether you are willing to grasp it."

The Archduke Stuart suppressed his voice, and the words like the devil's whisper rang in Descente's ears.

The next second, Descente's pupils dilated, and he trembled all over as if he had grabbed the last straw, and then screamed.

"Please! Please let them go! I'm willing to do anything! Anything!!"

Grand Duke Stuart was very satisfied with his answer.

Although scientists with the power of mind control are rare, the Grand Duke's subordinates are not without them. Just like he doesn't want his subordinates to have any contact with these people, he doesn't want anyone to know the secrets in this young man's mind.

And with his identity and strength, forcing a first-level person is easier than crushing an ant to death.

"Since you have this awareness, let's go and take me to find the greedy idiots!"

The moment he finished speaking, Grand Duke Stuart disappeared from the factory with Descente in his hand, and appeared again at the edge of the barrier a few seconds later.

Descente limped, as if he was injured in the previous melee between the Alliance and Green Day. He walked in front and led the way. The Grand Duke followed behind him. It didn't take long for the two to come to the stone wall with the ginkgo tree family emblem.

Seeing the emblem, Grand Duke Stuart showed a sarcastic sneer on his face.

Then, Descente took away the protruding stone with trembling hands, revealing the button to open the door, and at this time the Grand Duke could not wait to press his palm on the button!

The stone door slid to the side with a "boom", and the Grand Duke named Stuart finally found the Stuart family's last barrier safe house for escaping disaster!
