The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5420

Arlo quickly said, “British Lord, I’ve already entered the location of the copper mine to investigate, but the entire copper mine has collapsed from top to bottom, and even the part above the ground of the copper mine has collapsed into ruins. The entire site is completely destroyed, and there is only debris left, so I can’t find any clues at all…”

The British Lord asked solemnly, “How could this happen?! Such a huge base is gone just like that?! What about the people inside, then? Have they all been killed?!”

Arlo said in fear, “British Lord, I don’t know what happened to the people inside. I was originally hoping for the officials from Cyprus to conduct an official investigation, but they have given out an order for the entire site to be filled in. They are going to make a public announcement that the copper mine has reached the end of its service life and will be abandoned. The place is heavily guarded now, and I’m unable to do anything to continue investigating this matter!”

The British Lord asked coldly, “Why are the officials from Cyprus so anxious to fill up the copper mine?! They are covering up the evidence in such a hurry, so could it be that they have discovered something hidden that cannot be made known to the public?!”

Arlo was nervous. He did not expect that the British Lord would grasp the key point of the problem in an instant. However, there was no turning back.

He did not dare to take responsibility for the fact that the entire dead soldiers’ base had been occupied by the enemy long ago or that Mr. Jothurn was already dead. He just wanted to let the British Lord know that the reason why this place was razed to the ground was because the mysterious enemy was too powerful. They were defeated this time not because they were weak, but because the enemy was too strong, just like the defeats in New York and Northern Europe.

Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and say, “British Lord, I think the people stationed at the dead soldiers’ base and Mr. Jothurn are probably dead. It is very likely that the enemy took advantage of their unpreparedness, so a bloodbath happened in this place…”

“A bloodbath…” The British Lord murmured, “Mr. Jothurn is extremely powerful, so who could kill him so easily?!”

Arlo lamented, “British Lord, I don’t know who did it. Please punish me as you deem fit!”

After a long time, the British Lord said dejectedly, “Well, it seems that this world is not what I thought it was. I had been too optimistic all this while…”

After saying that, the British Lord added, “Okay, you can go back now, but don’t mention this matter to anyone. Anyone who violates this order will be killed without mercy!”

Arlo was completely relieved when he heard this. As the Right Military Governor of the Right Military Governor Office, he was one of the British Lord’s most trusted officials. He understood the underlying logic of Qing Eliminating Society’s internal operation.

The five Military Governor Offices operated independently from each other in the Qing Eliminating Society. No one knew the specific situation of the other four Military Governor Offices. They did not know the location of the office, the number of people they had under their command, the number of dead soldiers that were stationed there, or the number of Dark Realm or Transformation Realm experts there were there.

Silas hurriedly said, “Yes, Right Military Governor. I was too worried about you… I was worried that the British Lord would punish you…”

Arlo smiled slightly and said, “The fact that something like this has happened is far beyond my ability. Even Mr. Jothurn was unable to escape the enemy’s clutches, so how could I have the ability to do anything?”

After saying that, Arlo waved his hand and said, “Let’s go back, it’s almost time.”

Silas nodded and handed a bottle of water to Arlo as he said, “Right Military Officer, drink some water to calm yourself down. We will return right away.”

Arlo already felt extremely relieved after making it through a tough ordeal, so he was extremely relaxed. After relaxing, he felt a little thirsty, so he took the bottle of water, opened it, and took a few sips of water.

A few seconds later, his expression suddenly changed as he stared at his younger brother who was sitting in the driver’s seat, and he blurted out with much difficulty, “Silas, you… you poisoned the water?!”
