Dragon Lord Crane Smith novel Chapter 16

"Hmm?"

Alfred froze.

The silence was broken by the ringing of the phone.

The caller was the henchman he had sent to capture Flora and her daughters.

A sudden ominous thought came over him at this moment, but he remained unbelieving.

"Kid, my men are calling, I'll give you ten seconds to get down on your knees and make amends, and I can spare your wife and daughters, or you're the one responsible for their death!"

For a while, countless people were looking at Crane with cold eyes, they wanted to see what this guy would actually do.

The same went for Finley.

However, he was immediately disappointed as Crane's face was devoid of any ripples, and instead, he sneered and laughed.

"You answer the phone first."

His bored look made Alfred and the others more and more shocked, and Alfred directly clicked on the speakerphone, then said arrogantly, "How did it go? Are those three already like dogs?"

Insult.

Humiliation!

In this instant, Crane's face was as cold as frost, and killing intent burst forth.

But he endured it.

Prey that just needs to be tortured properly to be interesting.

Alfred smiled and picked up the phone, just as he listened to a voice that was extremely unfamiliar to Alfred coming from the other side!

"Alfred Duncan, right?"

"Your men have all been scrapped and pulled out to feed the dogs."

"Besides, you dare to insult our Mrs. Smith and the two young lords, do you not want your tongue anymore?"

Spencer's voice was extremely cold.

Even Alfred, who was on the other side of the phone, couldn't stop his body from trembling.

The men he sent out were all good, one would have no problem fighting two or three, and there were a dozen of them!

But now, they were actually all caught, which made it hard for Alfred to accept.

"What are you?"

He questioned angrily.

Spencer chuckled and said, "Who am I? I am a subordinate of the lord before you."

"Oh, by the way, it seems your Duncan family is being investigated by the Security Department and the Department of Banking Supervision."

The words fell, and the call was hung up straight away.

Alfred's face turned pale.

While those first words angered him, the last was straight from the heart.

Their Duncan family was being investigated?

"No, it can't be!"

Master Arthur of the Duncan family was also close enough to naturally hear Spencer's words, and immediately just didn't believe him.

"Mr. Alfred, we can confirm it by making a phone call to the Provincial Banking Supervision Division!"

"Yes, yes, yes, we have quite a few contacts in the Banking Supervision Division in the provincial capital, if we are really investigated, those people will definitely notify us at the first opportunity."

Master Arthur agreed.

Only then did Alfred react and hastily dialed a call to the very people they had contacts with in the provincial capital.

But either they didn't answer or just hung up.

The only few that got through were either advising him to hurry up to leave the country or scolding him angrily.

The last one in particular was absolutely furious.

The next moment, a group of guard warriors entered and directly surrounded the entire Duncan family, as well as those who followed them.

Finley froze.

First, the Duncan family was investigated.

Now there were people from the guard corps, which was the exclusive armed force of the governor in the provincial capital, far too powerful than the local Security Department, even the hundreds of musketeers of the Duncan family were scared to lower their guns when they saw these well-trained, several hundred guard warriors, and did not dare to be arrogant at all.

Only the one person Finley then saw made him even more completely devastated.

John Porter!

This man, the head of the entire Q State, could be considered a frontier official!

It was logical that this one big shot should be sitting in the governor's residence and overseeing the military administration of the state.

But why was he here?

Alfred, the Duncan family, and those who followed the Duncan family were also frozen in their tracks.

"Porter, Governor Porter, what brings you here?"

Alfred didn't dare to be slow and was about to go forward to greet him, but the next moment he was stopped by two guards with guns.

The blackened muzzle of the gun made Alfred sweat coldly.

John gave him a contemptuous look before coming to Crane and bowed deeply.

"Mr. Smith, as you instructed, the entire Dingjun Mountian has been sealed off and no one is allowed to leave now."

"Including, these assholes!"

John's gaze seemed like a sharp sword blade that could almost pierce Alfred and the others to death.

"Everyone is a dignified figure in Stone City, so it's just as well that I don't need to go notifying them one by one."

When he said that, his voice doubled.

"I, John Porter, declare that from today onwards, Stone City, no longer has a Duncan family!
