Scarlet bowed slightly, and his eyes flashed with a cold glint. "Understood!"
With that, Scarlet turned to Fang and said, "Assign a few of your men to take us there."
Scarlet then waved his hand. Immediately, three figures cloaked in black stepped forward, waiting for their orders.
"Brock, Donovan, Lucius, divide your teams into three separate locations and back up Fang's men." The three cloaked individuals nodded firmly, each taking a guide before setting off at once.
Aside from Team Heaven, who remained in Bellington to protect Nolan's parents in secret, the remaining teams of Scarlet's four-team squad—Heaven, Earth, Dark, and Light, with 30 fighters each—joined this operation.
After he gave out the orders, Scarlet grabbed another guide and smirked. "You, take me to the next site where we suffered a setback."
The guide was taken aback. "Just you… alone?"
"Am I not enough to handle the situation?" Scarlet cackled before moving out quickly.
After Scarlet left, Nolan stood up slowly and looked at Fang. "The most dangerous location must be where Gregory is hiding. No luck finding it?"
Fang looked guilty. "I'm sorry, Mr. Greene. We still haven't found it."
Nolan nodded. "It's not surprising considering you have so many moles in your ranks."
Nolan then turned to Ironhead. "Even though you're not by Gregory's side, you must know where he is. Take me to him!"
Nolan was silent for a moment before letting out a quiet laugh. He released his grip on Ironhead. "That's okay. You're still unconvinced until you're truly defeated. I get it. So, let me show you what complete defeat looks like."
With that, Nolan turned to Fang. "Instead of sending Scarlet, I saved the northern front for myself. Get someone to guide me there. I came here tonight to vent a little."
A thin layer of sweat beaded on Fang's forehead. "Mr. Greene, are you planning to get your hands dirty yourself? If that's the case, perhaps I should guide you with a team myself."
Nolan shook his head. "No need. Just get me a guide."
Fang didn't dare say more and immediately assigned one of his most trusted aides to lead Nolan toward the troubled northern front.
