Chapter 41-2

Jackson then told David, "Hades, this is Shadow."

David stared at Danielle and teased, "Shadow, I’m impressed by what you’ve achieved despite your young age. It’s an honor to meet you."

Danielle replied, "The honor is mine."

She rolled her eyes internally and thought, ’David is not that much older than me.’

Nathan still could not wrap his head around how Danielle became the boss of the Shadow Fortress at such a young age. The border was a dangerous place.

Nathan was shocked to see that Danielle had come with only a single subordinate. He wondered if Danielle had ever been concerned about her own safety. Her subordinate didn’t look very powerful.

"Mr. Wulf, why did you invite us here?" David asked in a deep voice.

Jackson said, "I’m sure the two of you have heard that members of the army have infiltrated this place. There are only a dozen of them.

"We, the factions at the border, have always been independent from the army’s control. It won’t do us any good if the army sets up their base here. Why don’t we join forces to deal with them?"

A hint of deception flashed across Jackson’s eyes.

Danielle blinked. It seemed Jackson wanted to drag her and David down with him. The army had clearly come to raid the Wulf Clan’s research lab. Although only a dozen soldiers had come to the border, they were backed by the entire army force.

She thought, ’Jackson is cunning for trying to get us into his mess.

Danielle replied, "Mr. Wulf, how did you come to that conclusion? If the army wants to check out our places, so be it. It doesn’t affect us much. Mr. Wulf, when did you become so weak? Why do you need our three factions to join forces just to deal with a dozen soldiers?"

Jackson was stunned. He persuaded, "Shadow, if the army establishes their presence here, we won’t be able to run our businesses freely. You want freedom too, right? Why don’t we nip this in the bud?"

Danielle turned down Jackson’s offer, saying, "My faction isn’t doing anything illegal."

Meanwhile, Elliot and his comrades had gone to the research lab yesterday. It was heavily guarded. Hence, they planned to besiege the leader of the Wulf Clan today. Jackson seldom left the Wulf Clan’s base, and the army had no means of entering there. Therefore, today was a golden opportunity.

Just as Elliot and the army force were about to carry out their plan, they heard the sound of gunshot.

Bang!

Dozens of people in camouflage uniforms surrounded the auction hall with pistols. They looked savage.

The auction had just ended, and most guests were
