Chapter 829 - 539: Mechanism City [09] Clement Winter Kidnapped

"Sis!"

Marcus Shaw seized the moment to toss a machete to Nora Scott.

Catching the machete, Nora’s eyes sharpened, and she swiftly slashed back, drawing blood from the man’s arm, prompting him to retreat several steps.

At the same time, the woman with no chance against both machetes wisely withdrew, exchanged a glance with him, said "go," and attempted to flee.

The man fighting Nora was indeed skilled and loyally protected the woman, using his own body as a shield, taking two cuts without a sound, using fallen bodies as human sandbags to slow Nora and her companions down, then quickly escaped with the woman, jumped into an off-road vehicle, and sped away.

Seeing Pedro Langley’s injured arm, Nora didn’t pursue, instead turned back to check Pedro’s wound.

"..."

Benjamin Durant felt a pang of jealousy at the romantic atmosphere.

"Not chasing them?"

Eli Linfield’s hand was itching.

They let them escape right under their noses and no one chased... this was not like Nora’s usual approach.

Watching Nora frown at the cut on Pedro Langley’s arm...

Eli realized: dating makes people careless.

Benjamin Durant rubbed his cheek, "Stella Durant."

"What?"

Eli looked around blankly, thinking Benjamin was calling someone else.

Nora frowned, "Robert Durant?"

"Yes." Benjamin nodded, "Robert Durant’s two daughters, the elder named Stella Durant, the younger Luna Durant. The one before was the elder sister."

Nora smirked, her expression somewhat playful.

She turned to look at Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott, these two brothers were obviously more concerned about Clarence, now gathered around him, checking his condition.

Clarence had taken quite a beating, now barely hanging on.

"Sis, we need to get to the hospital." Oliver looked up at Nora for help.

"Yes."

Nora nodded slightly, giving Eli a look.

Eli sighed, "... Leave it to me."

There was still an off-road vehicle left outside, abandoned by the other group. Eli grabbed the keys, drove, and took Oliver, Marcus, and Clarence to the hospital.

Benjamin took on the heavy work, called the police, tied everyone up, and decided to hand them over to the authorities later.

Nora treated Pedro’s wound.

Benjamin returned after finished tying people up, and toothache flared up, "Uncle, if you were any slower, the wound would heal on its own."

"Want me to give you one across the face?" Nora gave a cold glance.

"..."

Benjamin immediately shut his mouth.

Protecting their own is one thing, but dragging innocents into it is another.

...

After simply bandaging Pedro’s wound, Nora stood up, clapped her hands, finally took out her phone, and started dialing a number.

Benjamin glanced over.

"Check the recent activities of the Durant Family in the northwest for me... all actions, every single one."

Efficiently spat out orders, a fierce look flashed across Nora’s eyes, she quickly hung up the phone.

Leaning against the doorway, Benjamin rolled his wrist, and asked, "Season Family?"

Nora shrugged.

Benjamin lowered his head, rubbing his nose with his fingers.

Others only know Nora is powerful in the northwest, with a strong background, but have no clear concept—the four great families of the northwest, all have to show her due respect.

The Durant Family, Season Family, both are among the four great families.

From the great to the small, anyone who knew Nora either owed her a favor or had tasted her wrath, no one dared to provoke Nora lightly.

Nora’s dominance in the region was well-earned.

"Oliver sent a video."

Ignoring the Durant Family, Season Family, Pedro played with his phone, handing it to Nora.

Nora took it, her eyes lowered, and opened the video.

It was a video covertly recorded by Oliver, not long but quite informative.

"Blueprint! Your captain!"

"What blueprint, long destroyed!"

"No backup?!"

"Destroyed under supervision."

"Who is your captain?!"

"... used fake names; everyone’s origins and destinations are confidential."

"..."

"Then reveal the location of Mechanism City!"

...

"Mechanism City?" Benjamin leaned forward, eagerly gossiping, "Is that the Loulanel plan you talked about last night?"

"What Loulanel plan?" Pedro asked cluelessly.

Benjamin raised his eyebrows, looked at Pedro with a complacent noise, seemingly saying "See, you don’t know? And you’re my Uncle’s boyfriend!" acting very immature.

Yet surprisingly, Nora, who usually doesn’t bother with idle chatter, explained patiently to Pedro the entire story and causes.

Benjamin: "..." Uncle don’t let love cloud your judgment!

"Robert Durant’s family..." Pedro quickly pieced the information together, "They want to investigate you—and that means Master Sliver. Master Sliver is skilled in Mechanical Techniques, Mechanism City also relates to it, is there any connection?"
