Chapter 337:197 Return to Alliance

“Who, who did this?

Where was it done?”

South Barbarian, Giant Bear Tribe!

Bear Barry went into a rampage upon hearing the report from his subordinates!

The terrifying aura of a seven-turn Extraordinary Template strongman erupted completely.

This abyss-like aura made it difficult for the subordinate reporting to him to breathe. His face paled in utter fear.

However, the person standing before the raging Bear Barry did not know. At this moment, the enraged Bear Barry in front of him was even more panicked than he was.

Because something went wrong with the task Dean McKenzie had assigned to him.

He went to great lengths to finally get a batch of templates from the Alliance, only for them to be held back before they could enter the South Barbarian Territory.

They were the items Dean McKenzie wanted!

He was already this close to completing the task with this final batch, but someone had seized it at the last moment.

Bear Barry felt an urge to kill at that moment.

“Speak up, are you deaf?”

“Re…rep…chief, we haven’t figured out who did it yet!”

“Are you saying you don’t know or haven’t figured it out yet?”

“Chief, it happened in the Alliance territory, we… we really can’t…”

“Useless!”

Bear Barry grabbed the unlucky subordinate and threw him out.

After tossing him out, Bear Barry fell silent.

He knew that this matter might come to a halt here.

After all, his request for those templates was well known, and people were aware those templates were needed by him.

If someone dared to act despite knowing this, it meant they were not afraid of Bear Barry at all.

In such a situation, even if he pursued the matter into the Alliance, it probably wouldn’t make any difference.

If these items were just for him, Bear Barry might have let it go. But these were items Dean McKenzie wanted, so he could not let it go so easily, at least he wanted Dean to know that he tried his best!

Bear Barry muttered to himself, “I guess I have to make this trip myself!”

At this moment, the voice of Dean McKenzie suddenly resounded from the side.

“I’ll go for you this time!”

At the same time, Dean McKenzie’s figure appeared in front of him.

Seeing Dean McKenzie suddenly appear, Bear Barry couldn’t help but be taken aback.

“Sir, why have you come?”

“The templates are used up, I came out for a breath of fresh air!”

“I am incompetent!”

Bear Barry immediately bowed his head, his face filled with shame.

“This is not your fault. The other party is likely targeting me!”

Saying this, Dean McKenzie’s eyes narrowed.

Half a day ago, contacts reported to Dean McKenzie. They had heard from a merchant in Atlanta that something had happened to Anthony and that Bruce Hodge, the president of the Thorn Oak City branch of the Alliance, was planning to make a move against him.

Then not long after, Dean McKenzie heard the news about the last batch of templates that Bear Barry had prepared for him being seized in the Alliance.

With two pieces of information, plus the name of Bruce Hodge combined, Dean

McKenzie finds it hard not to suspect that someone is deliberately trying to mess with him.

Dean McKenzie had suspicions, so naturally, he had to come out to confirm them.

The several Business Associations had all been detained and interrogated by Dean McKenzie.

According to the interrogation results, indeed, someone had revealed the information about Carney’s investigation into Anthony to Atlanta, and it was from Atlanta that the news about Anthony being toyed with was passed on to Dean McKenzie.

Dean McKenzie did not know if the other party was really after Anthony, but he had to admit, their operations were precise, hitting him right where it hurt most, dancing crazily over Dean McKenzie’s landmines.

There was no need to speak of Anthony, who was Dean McKenzie’s guide to becoming a professional.

If it weren’t for Anthony, Dean may either be languishing in the sewers or already dead, corrupted by dark forces.

Therefore, Anthony’s importance to Dean McKenzie was paramount. Messing with Anthony was on par with messing with Dean McKenzie himself.

And messing with Dean McKenzie’s templates was messing with Dean McKenzie’s mentality.

His [Summon Skeleton] was already at the fourth level, just a little bit more, and then the last bit of templates was seized.

You can imagine Dean McKenzie’s feelings.

The intent to kill naturally leaked out, causing Bear Barry to tremble and lower his head, secretly saying ‘the strength of the Sir has grown again’.

Originally, Dean McKenzie’s strength lay mostly in the wraiths under his command.

But now, the aura that Dean McKenzie exudes gave Bear Barry a sense of terror as if facing an eighth-turn Promotion Quest.

Although it was only a little, it was enough for Bear Barry to have an insight into Dean McKenzie’s current power.

“Leave some of your token items here for me, and use your name to contact the

Alliance. Tell them I’m going over to deal with this.”

“Alright! I’ll get on it right away!”

“No, there’s no rush!”

If he were in a rush, Dean would have flown over already.

The [Flight Skill] of his maxed-out character, with its Extraordinary Traits, was no joke. Even a distance of several tens of thousands of miles, if Dean McKenzie exerted his full strength, it wouldn’t take more than 10 hours.

It was clear that they had dug a hole and were waiting for him to fall into it.

They didn’t even worry about Dean McKenzie knowing that it was a trap, those

Business Associations were just their discarded pieces.

They obviously wanted to tell Dean McKenzie.

‘Look, I’ve dug a hole here, just waiting for you to jump in!’

So the question now was, for such an obvious trap, would Dean McKenzie leap into it?

Of course, Dean McKenzie must go.

After all, it concerned Anthony’s life and death. But how he would get there was a different story.

And before he left, Dean McKenzie needed to be fully prepared.

“I need to requisition the maps of the six-turn and seven-turn territories of the Giant Bear Tribe. Also, help me borrow the maps of the other seven-turn territories from the South Barbarian!”

“Yes!”

As soon as Dean McKenzie said those words, Bear Barry knew what Dean

McKenzie was planning.

Dean McKenzie was preparing to shoot for the seven-turn.

For others, attaining the seven-turn might be as difficult as ascending to heaven, but for Dean McKenzie, all he needed was enough Experience Points..
