Chapter - 3140

Maximus' grip suddenly tightened. "Where is Fergus now?"

Braxton shook his head again, gasping for air. "I... I don't know."

"You imbecile!" Maximus, with a fierce grip, crushed Braxton's arm. "Why haven't you taken action to save him?"

Braxton's eyes darted toward the group of ´inspection police officers. "I... I just received the news too. They... just relayed the message."

Snap!

As those words were spoken, Maximus crushed Braxton's neck with his immense strength and then casually cast him aside.

Seeing Braxton's terrible condition, the inspection police officers were nearly scared out of their wits.

Braxton had little involvement in this matter, yet he had met such a tragic fate. They, on the other hand, were directly embroiled in this situation. It was almost certain that Maximus wouldn't show them any mercy; their lives were hanging by a thread.

The inspection police officers felt an unprecedented sense of despair.

Maximus took a deep breath and demanded, "Tell me, where is my son?"

"A-At the Royal Flush Bar!" the inspection officer stammered. "W-We tried to rescue Mr. Fergus, but... but we couldn't even get close to the enemy, and we ended up injured. Lord Maximus, we did our best; please spare our lives."

Maximus spoke with indifference. "You are no match for the enemy. Where are Druno and Drados? Have them come out and see me immediately. Before I went into seclusion, I specifically instructed them to protect my son. Now that my son has encountered trouble, they bear an undeniable responsibility. They must atone for their negligence with their lives!"

The inspection police officer's voice quivered as he explained, "T-They died protecting Mr.Fergus."

"What?" Maximus was greatly shocked. "Even Druno and Drados couldn't defeat them?"

The inspection police officer continued, "Lord Maximus, to be honest, like us, Druno and Drados couldn't even approach the enemy. The opponent merely glanced at the two of them, and they both dropped dead instantly."

"D*mn it!" Maximus muttered a curse under his breath.

Though he had been in solitary training for an extended period, his strength hadn't improved significantly. At most, it had prolonged his life by a few years.

Even at his peak, he wouldn't have been a match for Druno and Drados, and certainly not now.

Neither Druno nor Drados could stand against the enemy, and Maximus was no different.

What should I do? What should I do? I can't simply stand by while my son faces this adversary!

If it were possible, he would willingly trade his

own life for his son's. In the end, Maximus slapped his forehead, coming up with a brilliant idea.

There was someone who could undoubtedly save Fergus-the Prime Minister!

Maximus was aware that the current Prime Minister was an imposter, a body controlled by Black Reaper from the Netherworld, and Maximus had even conducted a few transactions with Black Reaper.

Black Reaper possessed extraordinary strength, said to be on par with the Great Marshal of Eurasia. If he took action, he would surely defeat the enemy.

With this in mind, Maximus urgently ordered his servants, "Prepare the car. We're going to the prime minister's manor. I need to see the Prime Minister.”"

Just then, the inspection police officer hesitated before saying, “Um... Lord Maximus, there's something I'm unsure whether I should mention."

"Speak!" Maximus commanded sternly.

The inspection police officer explained, "The Prime Minister has been slain, and the Prime Minister's manor is now in chaos."

"What!" Maximus stared at the inspection police officer in disbelief. “How did the Prime Minister die?"

"He was killed by the Great Marshal himself."

Great Marshal...

The two words "Great Marshal" sent a shiver down Maximus's spine, causing his heart to race.

D*mn it, why would the Great Marshal kill the Prime Minister without reason? They used to have a good relationship. It's certain that the Great Marshal has discovered the Black Reaper's secret. I wonder if he's found the connection between me and the Black Reaper. There shouldn't be any evidence; otherwise, the Whittaker family would have been raided by now! It's unclear whether the Prime Minister was killed by the Great Marshal or the Black Reaper. If only the Prime Minister was killed, and the Black Reaper is still alive, I can summon him back. He will undoubtedly be able to save my son.

To summon Black Reaper, one needed the physical body or corpse of the Prime Minister.
