The strength of the Clark Clan should not be underestimated. Their heritage spans tens of thousands of years, and by the ti of the Origin Resurgence era, they have rebuilt communication with their ancestors. Previously, Jasmine Clark nearly beca the leader of "Agnes Hall", but was thwarted by Owen Bertram and Sullivan.
Although Jasmine Clark was later punished, the Clark Clan chose another person to inherit the "Pure Dao Talisman", and the clan continued to grow and develop.
This ti, they suddenly extended their tentacles to the Eastern Land, perhaps because they’ve developed to the extre in their original continent and can only expand outward; or maybe they’ve co to the realization that it was Owen Bertram and Sullivan who frad Jasmine Clark and plan to retaliate in secret.
In addition, most of the residual forces of the Heaven Realm in the Eight Desolations World have already joined forces with the Clark Clan. After the return of the Heavenly Palace, the Heaven Realm has no ti to care about these representatives in the Lower Realm. Led by the Clarks, who still maintain communication with their ancestors, they’ve seized the opportunity to recruit them.
Owen Bertram, looking at the intelligence in his hands, couldn’t help but feel a bit amused - as the biggest intelligence chief in the Eastern Land, these reports naturally and vividly unfolded in his mind, showing the expansion of the Clark Clan’s influence in the Eastern Land, slowly spreading their web! It’s like a group of people wearing nightclothes, marching forward in the darkness, gradually surrounding their prey.
They thought they were doing everything seamlessly, and their targets, Catherine, Glenn Mitchell, Greystone, Leroy Baker, and others, would be completely unaware. Once they closed the net, these targets would be trapped with no way to escape!
Little did they know, from Owen Bertram’s perspective, everything was already in plain sight.
Owen Bertram couldn’t help but shake his head: "Inexperienced, presumptuous, and overly conceited." The Clark Clan is indeed an ancient family with a deep foundation and considerable accumulation in various aspects. But when it cos to infiltration, espionage, and assassination, how can they compare to the professional Horizon Bureau?
...
About 300 miles northwest of the Summit tropolitan Office, and yet to approach the Lake Mature Region, this place was originally not prosperous and the people lived in hardship. However, in recent years, the rapid developnt of the Wu Dynasty has driven this area to prosper. Previously, there were only a few county towns that were often attacked by demon beasts that wandered out of the Extinction Domain. Now, the original dozen villages and towns have all been built up, with the most prosperous city of Quentin, already having a population of three million.
About half a year ago, a foreign rchant team settled here and established a low-key business. Then, unbeknownst to many, it rapidly expanded. In Quentin County, only a few people knew that they had already bought half the street near their business.
In the backyard of the business, an underground palace was excavated, reinforced and concealed with arrays, and lavishly decorated on par with the Imperial Palace. Jasmine Clark, who was supposed to be imprisoned, was sitting in the underground palace on a soft, bright yellow brocade cushion at the mont.
Since the ancestors had given clear orders, Jasmine Clark couldn’t leave the underground palace or continue her cultivation. However, she had beco the think-tank of the Clark Clan.
Since being escorted back to her ho, Jasmine’s personality had changed dramatically. During her confinent, she read a lot of books and ca up with a guiding principle: "Owen Bertram is good at conspiracy and deceit. To deal with him, we have to be more insidious and cunning!"
"Our advantage lies in the fact that the enemy is open while we are hidden. We will approach stealthily and use various sches to cast a large net. They will be like fish, and by the ti they realize they are trapped in the net... it will be too late!"
After infiltrating the Eastern Land to a certain extent, Jasmine Clark rushed to Quentin County to take charge personally.
She has recently been diligent in her efforts, staying very disciplined. Every day she only rests for four hours, devoting the remaining ti to reviewing materials, analyzing intelligence, and studying counterasures.
Even during these two Shichen of rest, she would only summon two maids, making sure to stay focused and not indulge herself, as pleasure can easily sap one’s fighting spirit!
One day, Jasmine’s subordinates sent her a new batch of intelligence and reported excitingly: "Big sister, the opportunity we’ve been waiting for has finally co!"
"Greystone will start inspecting the downstream of the Summit River tomorrow. This ti she will only bring three hundred personal guards. We’ve surveyed the upper and lower reaches of the Summit River many tis before, and there are several places where we can set up ambushes. As long as you give the order, we guarantee she won’t be able to escape!"
"Once we capture Greystone, others will definitely co to the rescue. When any of them co, we can catch them one by one!"
Jasmine raised her eyebrows and asked, "Where is Owen Bertram?"
"He’s been in the capital all along," the subordinate answered. "The plan to deal with him has been prepared for a long ti. We’re just afraid he’ll be too cowardly to co out! As long as he dares to co, we guarantee there will be no return for him, and we will avenge you and share the burden for the ancestors!"
Jasmine pondered for a mont, saying, "This man should not be underestimated. If we are to do this, we must see it through to perfection! Tell them that after capturing Greystone and Catherine, we will cripple their abilities and send them to the lowest and most despicable brothel to be free for the low and vulgar villagers and workers for three days and nights."
"As for the n like Glenn Mitchell and Leroy Baker, after castrating them, find people who like to play with rabbits. I want Owen Bertram to see them with blood flowing from their buttocks when the ti cos!"
"Understood!" The subordinate shuddered in secret, thinking that Big Sister’s heart is truly dark and cruel, far from a normal person anymore.
...
A significant task for the Summit Command Office every year is to inspect the Summit River, where powerful demon beasts would occasionally erge and cause chaos along the banks. Nowadays, with peace and prosperity in the Wu Dynasty, such disasters are a major event.
