Chapter 460: Chapter 460: Exciting News!
 

Dragon Realm, the Capital City!

The night seemed exceptionally long this evening. All wealthy households in the city, having paid their money, anxiously waited by the phone, as if for some sort of amnesty.

For them, if the Deathz organization could let this matter rest, it would be no less than an amnesty.

That way, they wouldn’t have to live in constant fear anymore.

However, many of the elite still worried, even though they had handed over the money the Deathz organization had asked them to prepare.

After all, the Deathz organization was a group that lurked in the shadows. Would they really keep their promise and let them off the hook?

A question mark arose in many people’s minds.

If the people from the Deathz organization reneged and continued to pressure them for money, wouldn’t they have to live in endless fear?

At this thought, even the high and mighty family heads were involuntarily shivering with dread.

However, they only had one path presented to them – if they chose to resist the Deathz organization, it would only expedite their demise.

Now that the money had been handed over, all they could do was to resign themselves to their fate.

“So, has anyone else received a call?” asked a family head worth billions, anxiously.

Upon hearing this, the other family members all shook their heads, revealing terrified expressions. Someone couldn’t resist saying: “Family Head, what if the people of the Deathz organization renege? If they get a taste for this, and continue to threaten us, won’t we become their puppets?”

At these words, an even heavier sense of dread spread across the faces of the family members.

As the high and mighty wealthy families of the Capital, they all had their pride. How could they be made puppets?

However, given the current circumstances, they had no chance of putting up any form of resistance. The strength of the Deathz organization was not something that ordinary people could contend with.

“Sigh… I’m as worried as you are, but there’s nothing we can do about it now,” the family head sighed heavily, clearly exhausted.

At this, a member suggested, “Family Head, why don’t we consider collaborating with the Northern Territory Command? If we have the support of the War Department, I doubt the people of the Deathz organization would dare to act rashly.”

The family head offered a weary glance at the member who made the suggestion, he said helplessly, “I’ve thought about it. But remember, the Northern Territory Command, powerful as they are and backed by the White War Department, is out in the open, whereas the Deathz organization is hidden. Even the White War Department can’t immediately bring them into line. If they could, they wouldn’t have sealed off the Capital. So, even if we collaborate with the White War Department, there will be no change in the outcome. If anything, it would only make the people of the Deathz organization retaliate against us more fiercely.”

Upon hearing this, the family members all fell silent, feeling absolutely powerless.

If even the White War Department can’t deal with the Deathz organization, who in the world can stop them?

“Besides, we’ve already given our money to the people of the Deathz organization. There’s no need to complicate matters further,” the family head said with reluctance, not wanting to make more trouble for himself.

The others nodded reluctantly, and waited nervously with their family head for news from the Deathz organization.

Time slowly passed. There were more than a few people who couldn’t sleep that night.

Because they were all awaiting contact from the Deathz organization, but even after waiting the entire night, there was no news.

The next morning, the key members of the wealthy families all looked exhausted.

“Did the Deathz organization still give no news?” asked one family head, unable to resist the question.

Everyone shook their heads in response.

Seeing this, the family heads became ever more uneasy as time passed.

“What is going on here? What is the Deathz organization trying to imply? They’ve taken the money and given no news, something seems off!” Someone asked, sowing seeds of doubt in everyone’s minds.

But no one could answer this question.

It wasn’t until past nine in the morning that all the major mainstream media in the Capital began to broadcast the same piece of news.

[Breaking News: The latest from the Northern Territory Command. Around nine o’clock last night, the soldiers of the Northern Territory Command successfully struck a major blow to an organization called Deathz…]

The Deathz organization has been dealt a major blow!

This piece of news instantly became a hot topic in the entire Capital, causing quite the sensation.

“What, the Deathz organization was severely damaged by the Northern Territory Command? And more than sixty Deathz members were annihilated?”

“Incredible! As expected of the White War Department, their first move directly struck a major blow to the Deathz organization!”

“The Deathz organization, it seems like their days are numbered…”

Speculation after speculation added to the excitement, thrilling countless hearts.

They all knew that the White War Department sealed off the entire Capital not out of boredom, but likely in preparation for some major action.

However, before, it was all just conjecture without any concrete proof.

But now with the news being public, everyone was getting excited.

This was the White War Department, the one always guarding them.

Any place protected by the White War Department would never tolerate underhanded troublemakers.

The news reached the powerful families, and the members were stunned.

Nobody expected that the Deathz organization would take such a heavy fall at the hands of the White War Department.

Losing over sixty members all at once was not merely a heavy blow, it was a devastating hit.

The Deathz organization was undoubtedly severely weakened and would likely take a long time to recover.

At this thought, the family heads of the wealthy families showed expressions of heartache.

“My billions! If I had known that the Deathz organization was such a pushover, I would’ve given the money to the White War Department instead. What a loss! I’ve lost so much!”

Many people voiced their grievances, but they also understood that they probably wouldn’t have to worry about the Deathz organization threatening them again any time soon.

After such a major blow, the people of the Deathz organization were probably too occupied with their own troubles.

And this news quickly spread to the War Department, causing a major stir within.
