Chapter 135 Shocking the Entire District
Soon, people from the Martial Patrol Brigade, the Intermediate Criminal Apprehenders, and the district office arrived. Amongst them were also people Jose called.
Even the district’s governor came to supervise the operation. He demanded that they find Mia, even if it meant turning the urban village upside down.
At a house not far from the hotdog stall, the old woman looked out through the slightly ajar door with panicking eyes. She closed the door and returned inside.
Inside the house sat two men in their thirties. They were the old woman’s sons, and both had large faces and burly figures.
The old woman informed them, “A lot of people gathered outside. They must be here for the two girls. It seems like they aren’t ordinary people.”
A man wearing a short–sleeved shirt snorted. “Mom, you were known as Lady Poison. When have you become so timid? The higher–ups keep asking us for more women. If we can’t provide them with high- quality goods, the hall master will definitely punish us heavily.”
The other man with a bare torso said, “Mom, he’s right. We’ve hidden them in the cellar, so those people won’t be able to find them.”
But the old woman shook her head. “It’s better to be safe than sorry. My gut tells me all this going on outside is too out of the ordinary. You two better be careful not to draw attention to yourselves. Once this is done, we’ll move to another place.”
Not far from them, Bradley was checking nearby stores‘ surveillance footage. Unfortunately, the hotdog stall was in a blind spot, so they couldn’t find anything useful.
By now, Bradley was very
xious because standing behind him were several bigshots–District Mayor Quincy Frostbite, Deputy Mayor Rhett Johnson, and several other bigshots.
Though Quincy seemed eager about this matter, he was feeling the opposite. That was because he had received news that his superior, Cooper, would be transferred out of Gentrel City. Once he was gone, Quincy wouldn’t have to please anyone.
Meanwhile, Rhett had a different idea. That was because he received news that Cooper would be transferred to the city council. Only a few people knew about that, so he kept quiet.
In his perception, Cooper had a bright future, so he gave it his all when receiving orders from Cooper.
At that moment, Quincy’s phone began to ring. He glanced at it and subconsciously stood upright. Even before answering the call, he was already beaming. He then respectfully greeted the person on the line, “Mr. Bishop. Yes, yes. I understand, I will do my best to find Mia Barrett as soon as possible..”
Once the call ended, a trace of shock appeared on Quincy’s face. How did this matter alarm the deputy governor! He even asked his head secretary to call me. Who is that missing young woman?
While he was still in shock, his phone rang again. This time, it was a number from Justford, so he hurriedly answered.

Quincy could feel the other person’s aura and replied, “Yes, this is he. You are?”
“I’m Darcy Huber from the Public Security Department.
Quincy was so terrified that his heart trembled as he stammered, “C–Chief Huber, is there anything I can help you with?”
Darcy ordered, “A young woman in your town has gone missing. Her name is Mia Barrett. You must find her as quickly and safely as possible. I’ve already ordered a team of the city’s criminalists to Halivaara, so prepare for their arrival. Also, Special Forces are also on their way, so send someone to meet up with them and head over to the location of the incident.”
By now, Quincy’s eyes were wide open. “Yes, yes. I will do as told!”
After ending the call, Quincy screamed at Bradley, “Have you found any clues?”
Bradley had looked through all the surveillance footage but couldn’t find anything. He wiped the sweat on his forehead and reported, “Mayor Frostbite, I haven’t found anything.”
Furious, Quincy boomed, “Useless piece of sh*t! I’ll give you another hour. You’d better find some clues, or you’re fired!”
Then, Rhett cleared his throat. “Also, if you manage to find clues before that, I’ll promote you to vice- captain of the criminal investigations team.”
Bradley’s eyes immediately lit up. Since he had been an inspector for many years, he analyzed the situation according to his experience. “Every exit near the place Mia disappeared has surveillance cameras, and we still haven’t found any trace of her until this moment. Also, cars can’t get in here, so the kidnappers cannot avoid the cameras if they plan to bring those young women away. In other words, Mia is still here.
Once he finished, he used his pen to circle an area that was not larger than 10,000 square meters on the
map.
Quincy bellowed, “Get someone to search each house and bring the police dogs with them. Make sure not to miss out on any clues!”
In the meantime, William was still on his way to Halivaara. He drove the car at a super fast speed, almost two hundred kilometers per hour. On the way, he had already mobilized all the resources he had.
Gwendolyn assured him, “William, you don’t have to be so worried. I’m sure Mia will be fine, and the place. is in lockdown.”
“What if she gets hurt? What if she’s being bullied?” A fierce light shone inside William’s eyes as he threatened, “No matter who did it if I get my hands on them, I’ll make their lives a living hell!”
The car moved like a lightning bolt on the road. Since William had extraordinarily keen eyesight and strong predicting abilities, he kept/overtaking cars, condensing the two–hour trip into one hour.
By 5.00PM, he and Gwendolyn arrived at the scene.
Jose was waiting for him at the entrance. When he saw William, he immediately knelt to the ground and apologized, “Boss! It’s my fault. I failed to protect Miss Barrett!”

Jose quickly rose to his feet, still looking guilty.
William assured him, “I don’t blame you, so don’t think too much about it. How’s the progress at the scene? Have they found any clues?”
“They’re still searching, but one thing’s for sure–Miss Barrett is close by, but we just don’t know where they hid her,” Jose informed.
g. William said, “Lead the way!”
With Jose in front, he led William to the temporary command center, which was a spacious house.
Bradley was looking at the surveillance footage when he heard William’s voice from behind. “Did you find. anything?”
The voice caused Bradley to tremble in shock. When turning around, he saw a cold–faced William and replied, “William, we haven’t found Mia yet, but I’m sure she’s close by. The culprits might have hidden her somewhere, so we’ve already dispatched police dogs to help with the search.”
Then, Quincy reached out his hand and smiled. “You must be Mr. Barrett. I’m Quincy Frostbite, the district mayor of Halivaara.”
Instead of shaking Quincy’s hand, William nodded. Quincy withdrew his hand awkwardly but was even sure that William was a big shot, or else how could he mobilize the city council and Public Security Department?”
Quincy added, “Mr. Barrett, don’t worry. Our men are doing all they can, so we will definitely find your younger sister.”
However, William still didn’t respond to him. He stared at the map before Bradley and asked, “Is Mia somewhere in this vicinity?”
Bradley nodded. “That’s right. She’s somewhere here. After checking all the surveillance footage, I’m sure Mia hasn’t left this area.
Nodding, William suddenly went outside and leaped into the sky before landing on top of a house that was five to six meters high. Then, he gathered his Qi and boomed, “Who took my younger sister? I’ll give you until the count of three to appear before me!”
His voice was loud as roaring thunder and lasted for a long time. It was so loud that the residents all wondered what kind of loudspeaker it was and how it could sound so loud.
Back inside the house, Bradley and the others paled, wondering how a person could speak so loudly.
Meanwhile, Jose’s heart raced as he muttered, “Boss is now a Divine Realm Master!”
