Round Street Slaughter Out of Control, the Plan Exposed!

Obi-Wan felt a little desolate when he thought about it now.

"I once saw them as comrades, but I alone was stuck in the mire!" Obi-Wan's former companions had died one after another, while the others from their generation had become exactly what they once hated most.

They had begun turning their hatred into desire and inflicting it upon the next generation.

Being able to sit around and enjoy endless treasure and profit was truly an arrangement that was hard to refuse.

Obi-Wan took a deep breath. He had already let it go.

His only lingering attachment to the Hunter Organization was the companions who had once shared hardship and joy with him, not those useless fools who went with the flow—he was ashamed to associate with them!

It was worth mentioning that only one of those companions was still alive.

Her name was Stephanie!

"But what I'm curious about is..." Alfred had basically confirmed that Obi-Wan had nowhere left to run. "What exactly did the Dunhold Family do?"

"Why was the Navy willing to pay such a high price for your life?" Alfred laid out a string of numbers—the secret bounty on Obi-Wan.

It had reached two hundred million Beli!

The thirty-five million Beli bounty on the market was merely an ordinary cover. To Alfred, Obi-Wan's life was worth two hundred million?

Obi-Wan had also been greatly shocked when he saw that number.

But this was clearly not good news. If being the Dunhold Family's butler alone warranted such a high bounty, then what about Aeneas, the Young Master of the Dunhold Family?

If his true identity were exposed, wouldn't he be in even greater danger?

Obi-Wan himself was confused. Could there really be some secret he did not know about?

"Why was Lord Antonidas executed back then?" Obi-Wan desperately wanted to know the truth—if he survived, he would definitely uncover everything for the master who had truly shown him kindness!

But the most important thing now was finding Rami!

Yet when Obi-Wan saw Alfred appear, he could not help worrying that the plan might encounter some unforeseen change.

"Alfred won't be easy to deal with. Even fighting him at full strength would be a struggle for me. I wonder how Scusen is doing..." Obi-Wan's expression was extremely grim. He also wanted to know what Alfred intended to do next.

"You have accomplices, don't you?" Alfred narrowed his eyes as he scrutinized Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan was inwardly startled, but his face remained calm.

"You're the one who nearly managed to kill me with your scheme. I don't believe you came here just to turn yourself in." Alfred was almost certain that something unfavorable to him would happen soon.

"Tell me your plan, or that girl is as good as dead!"

Alfred finally revealed his vicious side. Even with only one eye, he was still terrifying.

Hearing Alfred's words, Obi-Wan's heart tightened.

"You shameless bastard!" Obi-Wan looked panicked as he forcibly tried to calm himself. But when it involved Rami, how could he remain indifferent?

Brring! Brring!

Alfred did not waste any more words and directly dialed a Den Den Mushi at hand.

The call connected, and a guard answered from the other end.

"Put that girl on the phone." Alfred wore an amused expression.

Before any sound came from the other end, Obi-Wan lunged forward and shouted, "Rami! Rami! Are you alright?"

"Is that you, Uncle?" A weak voice slowly came through. It was indeed Rami's voice.

"They didn't hurt you, did they? Rami, where are you? I'm coming to save you!" Obi-Wan wept with joy, unable to wait to learn Rami's location.

"I'm fine. Uncle, run! They still have..."

Alfred immediately hung up.

"What a blabbermouth little girl." Alfred frowned, then looked at Obi-Wan, who was glaring at him and breathing heavily. "Now, choose. Otherwise, I'll make you listen to that stupid girl's screams as she dies!"

Obi-Wan gritted his teeth, consumed by rage. He tried to break free of the Seastone handcuffs—but such sturdy Seastone was not something he could tear apart with brute force.

Fortunately, he had confirmed that Rami was temporarily safe.

Whether she would remain safe after this depended entirely on Obi-Wan.

"You think I'd betray my own people like beasts such as you?" Obi-Wan's voice was low, like a beast's growl, murderous light flashing in his tiger-like eyes. "I'm not like you!"

"I know you're different, but I also know..." Alfred dialed the Den Den Mushi again and had the guard answer it. "You'll talk!"

"Have you ever had charcoal-grilled food?" Alfred narrowed his eye and licked his lips. The guard on the other end immediately understood what he was supposed to do.

Sizzle—

Obi-Wan's face filled with horror, and he seemed to lose control as he flipped the table over.

"Don't touch her!" Obi-Wan roared. He knew too well how fragile Rami was. Forget charcoal-grilling torture—even a slight burn could leave the little girl seriously ill for days. If she were truly tortured, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Talk." Alfred watched Obi-Wan expressionlessly, while the people on the other end of the Den Den Mushi did not make any rash moves.

Perhaps they also understood Rami's frailty. If they truly wanted to extract useful information from Obi-Wan, then Rami could not die—so they did not really dare to torture her.

But Obi-Wan would definitely lose his composure before they did!

Alfred understood his "disciple" far too well.

Obi-Wan's face darkened, and he fell silent for several seconds.

But at that moment, a massive explosion suddenly rang out from outside the window.

Alfred stood up and looked outside, with Obi-Wan following behind him.

What entered their sight was a terrifying green Monster crashing down from North Street, stirring up a massive riot among the thugs of Round Street Slaughter. More than half of them surged toward the Hunter Base, which had originally been forbidden ground.

At the same time, large numbers of thugs also poured in from South Street. As if by prior arrangement, the entirety of Round Street Slaughter had completely spiraled out of control.

The hunters guarding the perimeter were even attacked by those people.

Alfred thought for a moment.

"This should be the overt move. There must be another breakthrough point in the shadows." Alfred looked at Obi-Wan.

This time, Obi-Wan could no longer continue stalling. He truthfully told Alfred about Scusen and the others breaking through from the underground base.

Alfred revealed a satisfied smile.

"Not a bad trade." In the end, the charcoal-grilling torture had only been meant to scare Obi-Wan, but the result was not too bad.

"Pass down the order. Strengthen the defenses of the underground base and give those overconfident fools a surprise!" Alfred smiled faintly. "And I still want to continue reminiscing about the old days with my 'good disciple'!"
