Despite being intimidated by White Mitchell’s imposing aura, the Head Nurse was still somewhat defiant.

Just then, a rumbling sound, like a gigantic engine rumbling, suddenly came from above the hospital, instantly shaking everyone present.

Immediately after, figures clad in white battle robes started pouring in one after another. The man leading them was dressed in spotlessly white clothing, with a three-foot Icesword slung across his back.

This image reminded one of the characters in a TV drama.

However, everyone standing beside him were soldiers armed to their teeth.

The sight of this made everyone’s nerves tighten involuntarily, leaving them breathless with terror, their legs going soft from fear.

What was even more unexpected was that the man with the sword came directly in front of White Mitchell, kneeled on one knee, and shouted: “I pay homage to my Superior!”

Whoosh!

At this moment, everyone was dumbstruck. Who on earth was this man?

The Head Nurse who had been giving White Mitchell a hard time was now trembling with fear. She wanted to escape, but found her legs to be completely unresponsive.

She was done for!

The Head Nurse’s heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran down her stern face, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

“Save her now!”

White Mitchell ignored the man kneeling on the ground and anxiously looked towards Doctor Luna.

Luna shivered and quickly composed herself, arranging for White Mitchell’s stepmother to be rushed into the operating room.

Then, White Mitchell slowly turned around, with a cold look on his face, staring at the kneeling crowd: “Everyone, stand up.”

The man with the sword stood at his full height, as straight as a spear, and reported solemnly to White Mitchell: “Superior, according to the latest information we’ve gathered, the culprit behind this is the wealthiest man in River North – Kingston Sabir and his family.

Miss Jones, whom we are currently sheltering, is in her good friend Beryl Mill’s villa. Diego Sabir, Kingston’s son, has already taken people there.”

After listening to the man’s report, White Mitchell wasn’t surprised. It was normal for the Patrol of River North to be alerted and for his own White War Department to investigate everything.

Next, White Mitchell took a deep breath, his eyes flared with terrifying icy light.

“War King Kirin, listen to my command!”

The man with the sword jolted to attention upon hearing these words, his face becoming even more serious and the anticipation in his eyes was almost palpable.

Too long, he had waited for this command for way too long!

Ever since White Mitchell mysteriously disappeared a year ago, many people claimed that he was dead, killed on a battlefield abroad. Every now and then, there would be a report about the discovery of White Army Master’s corpse.

But as a soldier of the White War Department, Kirin didn’t believe it. The Four Great War Gods, the Five War Kings, and a hundred thousand soldiers of the White Army, all didn’t believe it.

They had been waiting for their commander to return, waiting for the Supreme Military Lord of the War Department to make his comeback to Dragon Realm.

Finally, Kirin’s wait was over, and he was extremely proud to be a soldier of the White War Department at this moment!

“Kirin, come with me. The rest of you, guard this hospital. If anyone dares to break in forcibly, kill on sight!”

White Mitchell’s voice was an absolute command for the soldiers of the White War Department. Irrespective of how perilous the path ahead would be, they would follow the command without a second thought.

“Yes, sir!”

Kirin joined White Mitchell and straightaway hopped onto a slightly battered yet still robust looking off-roader.

…

The robust vehicle headed towards Beryl Mill’s villa.

Halfway through their journey, Kirin, who was driving the vehicle, seemed to be stammering over his words. He appeared as though he had something to say, but he didn’t know how to put it into words.

“Speak!” White Mitchell commanded when he noticed this.

After a bit of hesitation, Kirin spoke up: “Superior, I have investigated Kingston’s background. Most of it is not alarming but there is one tricky point. The Sabir family has a younger member named Luis who serves in the River North War Department.

He is one of the rare new blood in the River North War Department in recent years. I’m afraid, if we make a move on the Sabir family, River North War Department might intervene.

What if, Superior, you leave this matter to us while you remain uninvolved? I guarantee to bring you a satisfactory result.”

Kirin’s concern was reasonable. After all, the Dragon Realm War Department would not take a confrontation among its own members lightly. If news of this were to reach Braxton, even White Mitchell would find it difficult to deal with.

However, it was clear that Kirin underestimated White Mitchell’s current fury. White Mitchell indifferently responded: “Insult my family, and I will wipe out the Sabir family, even if the River North War Department intervenes, or even God himself!”

Meanwhile, Sherry Jones, whom White Mitchell cared about, was in a dire predicament outside the Mill family villa.

“Sherry, you can’t go with him!” Beryl was shielding Sherry, glaring at Diego’Sabir without any hint of fear: “They haven’t released our people yet, why should Sherry go with you!”

Diego licked his lips, a sneer curling up his lips, “Beryl, don’t meddle in this, or else, I’ll take care of you too!”

“Diego! Don’t push your luck! River North is not controlled by the Sabir family!”

Beryl chillingly responded, but Diego on the other side had a cold smile on his face: “Is River North controlled by the Mill family, then?”

“You!” Beryl wanted to snap back, but Sherry stepped forward: “This matter has nothing to do with the Mill family, I’ll go with you!”

“See, Miss Jones is so understanding, let’s go, Miss Jones, please get in the car!”

Diego smirked, then turned around and sarcastically said to Beryl, “Hehe…This is the King of River North?”

“I can’t offend her, I really cannot! She is the King of River North’s daughter, my Sabir family, can’t offend her, hehe… ”

Diego left with an exaggerated laugh, and at this moment, a domestically produced robust vehicle, its front completely smashed, was rushing headlong in their direction…
