Instigator and Protector of Violence-Chapter 290: [Typhoon Approaches]

Latest news from the Royal Capital: Eldest Prince Havenius's press conference will be held tomorrow.

And the latest news is that at the conference, important figures related to the assassination event will be present to reveal the secrets within.

It is said that this person is an insider from the Kingdom Defense Bureau.

This already indicates that this matter not only involves bandits like Johnny Blackbird but also involves people within the Kingdom.

As for who it is…

In fact, everyone is well aware.

What a grand palace intrigue drama.

It's just that the other main character does not seem to be in the Royal Capital at the moment—is this a one-sided declaration of war?

Apart from this grand drama, the second biggest news in the Royal Capital is naturally the upcoming typhoon.

Prior to this, it was merely a meteorologists' speculation, but as the winds and waves in the Sea of Gold grew more intense, such winds have blown into the Royal Capital.

The typhoon is no longer something imagined or speculated about by everyone, but rather, a fact that will soon be faced.

In today's newspapers and various radio stations, there are already warnings for everyone to be careful of the typhoon and to avoid going out in the evening and at night.

Because according to observations, the typhoon will arrive tonight, land, and sweep across the entire Royal Capital.

People do not have much fear of the typhoon; after all, a typhoon has never been to the Royal Capital, so they do not know what it is like.

What everyone feels more is curiosity.

Moreover, even if the typhoon truly possesses great destructive power, this is the Royal Capital, the City of Ten Thousand Cities, which will surely prevent the typhoon from causing any real damage.

Some bars, restaurants, and even theaters have launched activities to watch the typhoon and have also prepared special typhoon dinner packages.

For a time, people flocked to them eagerly.

Meanwhile, while the entire city is immersed in the novelty and thrill of the upcoming typhoon, some people are quietly moving towards and gathering in the West District.

These people, of course, are the devotees of the Sea God Church.

Their attitude towards the typhoon is much more devout.

They believe it to be a sacred wind, the will of God.

Especially when the precursors of the typhoon continually blow through the streets and alleys of the Royal Capital, they pray devoutly in secret.

This is the hand of God, caressing them.

Feeling this caress, they too gradually arrive in the West District.

Such movements are naturally completely detected by the Kingdom Defense Bureau.

As the captain of the fifth section of the Kingdom Defense Bureau, Bauer, after returning to headquarters and through a series of difficult negotiations, finally managed to snatch some people from the third section to help him monitor the people of the Sea God Church, while also preparing to suppress any situation that might arise immediately.

But this clearly caused a conflict with the third section.

Especially Trafford.

Trafford had originally laid out plans in both the West District and the South District.

He is now fully focused on the South District, the domain of the Martinos Clan, yet also needs to prevent people from potentially fleeing into the West District.

By placing defenses in both areas, a complete defensive line can be formed.

Now, Bauer's sudden intervention has completely disrupted his plans.

Especially since Bauer not only took away many of his people but also brought in a large number of Sea God Church followers. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

This undoubtedly complicates the situation in the West District greatly.

"What on earth is happening, why are so many people coming to the West District?"

Trafford was somewhat irritable; too many things were happening recently that were beyond his control.

Just when he finally managed to grasp a lead, ready to catch them all in one fell swoop, such an event occurred again.

"It must be caused by the typhoon, after all, the sea is their faith."

Travis had no particular feeling towards this; he was not agitated at all and was even quite happy.

Because things were progressing exactly as he needed them to.

He had always coveted the territory of the South District, and now, the opposition actually appeared blatantly within the territory of the Martinos Clan.

He did not even need to seek them out; he could directly attack.

Moreover, this time, he did not need to deploy many of his own people as there was assistance from the Kingdom Defense Bureau and the old continent immigrants.

Indeed, this time, the former allies would also participate; old man Xi Wen finally agreed to come out of his Little Ibia.

Of course, they are not exerting their efforts for free; they want half of the South District's territory.

Travis agreed.

His forces were not plentiful; even if he forcibly took it over, if too many were lost, Xi Wen would seize the opportunity to encroach upon them; it was better to have them join in, consuming their manpower as well.

As for who would own the South District in the future, that is yet to be decided.

"You're familiar with the West District, have your people keep an eye there, make sure nothing goes wrong."

Trafford currently cared about nothing else; he only cared about taking down the Martinos Clan as soon as possible, then finding West, Johnny Blackbird, and that Count Jiakade.

Delivering these people up, his merits would be solidified, and he could return to the Kingdom Defense Bureau at any time.

"When will we make our move tonight?"

Travis had no objection to Trafford's orders; the West District, which he had operated for many years, could not be easily shaken by outsiders.

The people of the Sea God Church were not to be feared, and his eyes were solely fixed on the Martinos Clan.

Now, the entire territory of the Martinos Clan was completely surrounded, though on the surface, nothing seemed to be happening.

But if anyone came out of that area now, from any direction and angle, they would be immediately stopped or even killed.

Dark currents were already surging swiftly.

Just like the typhoon that would strike tonight.

"At the time of the typhoon's arrival."

Trafford said slowly.

Despite the great advantage and having gathered so many people together for this attack, Trafford still wanted to find a good opportunity.

He would not forget his previous failure in the South District.

Last time, it was because he trusted too much in Kaster's abilities that resulted in the start of all failures.

If he had been more cautious that time, he wouldn't be in the current situation.

"Will the wind be too strong?"

Travis said this, lowering the brim of his hat, as if the wind had already started blowing.

At the same time.

Inside the Sanctuary.

Vasini was watching outside through the colorful stained glass windows.

Outside, the wind was calm, but he already knew that disaster was imminent.

Not only from reports from his subordinates, but from divine revelations.

God told him that tonight, a great storm would come; if it failed, then everyone would perish.

But if he could hold out until the power of God descended, then he would have everything.

Vasini always believed in God, so his heart did not waver at all; he was only waiting for the storm to arrive.

"Valentino, go see your daughter one more time."

This was the final farewell.
