Chaos in Oga City (4)

"How is this possible? This is the Goblin Merchant Guild, have they gone mad?" Arnold exclaimed incredulously.

"I didn't expect this either, but what Gale Eagle saw couldn't be wrong. They were aggressive and definitely didn't come with good intentions." Gaston's expression was solemn. "We are from the Goblin Merchant Guild, so they might not do anything to us, but the Mitchell Family is different. If Patur personally attacks them, I can't stop him!"

"Hurry up and have them pack their bags. I'll send someone to take them away!" Arnold urged.

Gaston didn't dare delay and immediately went to wake up the Mitchell Family.

The Mitchell Family in a separate small yard.

Helen and Raul had already gone to bed. As for Alex, Gaston searched the entire courtyard but couldn't find him, only a note in his room.

Gaston shook his head helplessly after reading the note.

"Mr. Mitchell, Mrs. Mitchell, let's go!"

"Wait, where's Alex?" Helen asked anxiously.

Gaston handed her the note and said, "Let's see how things go; we don't have time."

They didn't bring much with them and soon arrived at the gates of the Goblin Merchant Guild's mansion.

Arnold had already arranged a team of guards and a light carriage.

"Where's Alex?" Arnold also noticed that Alex was not there.

Raul and Helen had both read the contents of the note, and their faces were deathly pale.

Arnold took the note from Raul.

The note was left by Alex, and it was in his handwriting.

"Father, Mother, I'm worried about Aniya. I need to sneak into Oga City to rescue her. Mr. Arnold said that the Human Saint Realm would come to our aid, but a day has passed since the news reached Yasen City and there's still no sign of rescue. I can't wait any longer. You'll be safe at the Goblin Merchant Guild. Don't worry about me. I'll be careful."

After reading it, Arnold could only sigh.

"There's no other way, Mr. Mitchell, Mrs. Mitchell, you should go first. I'll try to find out about Alex's situation."

"Mr. Arnold, could you please try to find Alex first?" Helen didn't want to leave.

"The army of Oga City has left the city and will be there soon!" Gaston said in a deep voice, having already received Soul Transmission from Gale Eagle.

Arnold quickly pushed Raul and Helen into the carriage.

Gaston also stepped forward to help.

"Mr. Mitchell, Mrs. Mitchell, you go first, I'll take care of Alex!" Arnold reassured the elderly couple and helped them into the carriage.

Raul, Helen, and Alex are Andres' only family, and Arnold knows how important they are.

If he fails to protect any of them, their good relationship with Andres could very well be strained.

"Move out quickly!" Arnold ordered the guards.

The guards immediately spurred the carriages and galloped off in another direction.

Arnold watched the team leave.

"What about Alex?" Gaston whispered.

"Let's deal with the immediate problem first, and then I'll think of a way to find out what's going on inside the city."

Arnold was having a headache and didn't know what to do.

Since Patur returned to Oga City, the Goblin Merchant Guild has been unable to extend its influence into the city; otherwise, he wouldn't have sent Gaston to dispatch Gale Eagle to investigate.

Before long, they heard a rumbling sound, the sound of cavalry advancing rapidly.

Soon, a cavalry force of over a thousand men galloped from the direction of Oga City and stopped in front of Arnold and his men.

The leader was not Gallo, but Mars.

Behind Mars were mostly members of the Kingdom Knights, dressed in Platinum White Armor, and a number of guards from the Demian Family.

Before they knew it, Patur had appeared above them.

Arnold straightened his clothes, gave a composed bow, and said, "Lord Patur, what brings you to our Goblin Merchant Guild?"

Patur didn't speak; it was Mars who said, "We've come to ask you for our people!"

Mars put in extra effort to demonstrate his value and ability in front of Patur.

"You want people? We don't recall arresting any of your people." Arnold looked puzzled.

"Stop pretending you don't know the answer. Hand over the Mitchell Family. They're not with the Goblin Merchant Guild; you can't protect them," Mars sneered.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about." Arnold said with a polite smile.

"Hmph! Go inside and search!"

At Mars's command, nearly a thousand cavalrymen surged toward the mansion.

"Wait a minute, this is the Goblin Merchant Guild. Are you trying to provoke us?" Arnold roared.

But as soon as he finished speaking, a powerful pressure descended from the sky.

The members of the Goblin Merchant Guild present immediately felt as if a giant mountain was pressing down on them, making it hard to breathe.

Patur looked down at them from the air and said coldly, "Arnold, you better behave yourself. Don't worry, we're only targeting the Mitchell Family. We won't touch a single tree or blade of grass in the Goblin Merchant Guild."

Arnold remained silent; under the oppressive aura of this Saint Realm expert, he found it difficult to even utter a word.

Mars's cavalry entered the mansion and began searching.

Patur immediately withdrew his oppressive aura.

Arnold and the others were panting heavily, and before they knew it, their backs were soaked with cold sweat.

He knew that no one in the merchant guild was a match for Patur at this moment, so he did not stop the cavalry's actions and watched coldly from the sidelines.

The cavalrymen moved quickly, and within half an hour, they had all withdrawn.

"Reporting to you, sir, nothing was found."

"No?" Mars' eyes widened. "Impossible, how could there be no one?"

Mars rushed up to Arnold and grabbed Arnold by the collar. Arnold was a goblin and was already short, so Mars easily lifted him up.

"Tell me quickly, where did you hide them?"

Arnold smirked and said, "Mars, I told you long ago, I have no idea what you're talking about."

"You--"

Mars was furious, but he didn't lose his mind; he knew he couldn't touch the Goblin Merchant Guild.

He snorted and put Arnold down.

Arnold steadied himself and casually straightened his clothes.

"Arnold, you're quite good. Perhaps in a few years, you can become one of the hundred regional leaders of the Goblin Merchant Guild, just like your father," Patur suddenly said, hovering in the air.

"You flatter me, Lord Patur," Arnold said with a smile and a bow.

"But don't think you can fool everyone." Patur suddenly looked at the distant night sky, where a Level Seven Magical Beast, the "Red-plumed Griffin," was located.

The Red-plumed Griffin let out a cry, the sound of which faintly reached this side.

A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Arnold's heart. The direction the Red-plumed Griffin was heading was the same direction Raul and the others had left.

Then, Arnold saw a slight smile appear on Patur's face.

"It seems they've found out, and they've gone quite far. In that case, I'll make the trip myself."

Patur flashed and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the Red-plumed Griffin.

"Hmph! So you ran away ahead of time, Arnold, your plan has failed, hahaha!" Mars laughed loudly, then directed everyone to begin their return to Oga City.

Patur personally took charge, so there was no need for them.
