Chapter Thirty-Four: The Verge
The Son of Heaven was furious, and millions of corpses were ambushed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although Logan is not the Son of Heaven, in Memphis, he is no different from the Earth Emperor.
As orders were issued, gunmen from the police station, the inspectorate, the city guard, and various official agencies gathered and slaughtered the McConaughey estate on the northern outskirts of the city.
At the same time, a force under Ian's instructions also moved from the garrison west of Memphis and quickly rushed east under the command of Major General Charles.
The coming conflict shattered the calm of Memphis, and even the dark creatures that had always hidden in the shadows felt something unusual.
In the basement of a suburban castle, more than a dozen coffins sit side by side in a gloomy corner.
Each sarcophagus has a candle that burns silently, and the dim candle flame illuminates the whole house, but does not bring the slightest warmth.
On the stone table in the center of the house, a nervous-looking middle-aged white man lowered his head, constantly reporting something.
Opposite him, a handsome, elegant young man with an aristocratic atmosphere between his eyebrows quietly listened to his report, and after listening, he waved his hand slightly, and the middle-aged white man saw this, and hurriedly bowed back and didn't dare to stay for a moment.
The young man walked to the sarcophagus in the middle, touched his chest with his left hand, swung his right hand back, bowed and said,
"Your Excellency!"
A slight grinding sound sounded in the room, the candles went out, the sarcophagus opened a gap, and a faint magnetic voice came out,
"Got it, you and Danny have a look."
As the words fell, the sarcophagus closed, and the candle on it burned eerily.

Troublesome things always attract those who are not afraid of trouble.
A reporter who is not afraid of death has ventured to sneak into the McConaughey estate and finally find out why the mayor is so excited.
It turns out that the manor house contains werewolves, and those werewolves are likely to be the perpetrators of the prom attack.
This news from nowhere, as well as the reporter who appeared out of nowhere, completely plunged the already boiling Memphis into turmoil.
But the strange thing is that the news has been circulating in the crowd for a long time, but the reporter who sent the message has never shown up.
Gray looked at John fixedly, his eyes were strange, and he always felt that the scene in front of him seemed familiar.
"What do you think I'm doing?"
"Let me first state that I didn't send out that unwarranted reporter." John said dissatisfied,
"I know it's not you, but it always feels familiar."
The witch pouted, picking aside the leaves and looking at the guards patrolling back and forth in the distance.
There are many guards in the manor, four directions, east, west, north and south, each direction has three layers of defense line, if today's special thing is special, most of the guards are close to the main entrance, it is impossible for the three of John to sneak into the residential area of the manor so easily.
John opened the map, pointed to a green area in the northwest of the manor, and said,
"According to the map, we should be here."
He stretched out his hand and drew a straight line between the green area and the central villa.
"That's the target, and the distance between us is about 500 meters at scale."
500 meters is not long, but it is the most densely guarded area, it is a little difficult to sneak in, fortunately, at this time the sky is close to evening, the red sun sets down the west mountain, the sunset shines on the earth, and in more than an hour, the sky should be able to completely darken.
"What do we do now?" The witch asked,
"Wait! Waiting for Logan's signal, if nothing else, he was fighting the owner of this manor at this time. ā
"Hopefully he'll hold up."
ā¦ā¦
The four words McConaughey have great prestige in Tennessee.
Although the family has only been prosperous for 20 years, its power and influence on the entire state of Tennessee cannot be compared to those old families that have prospered for a hundred years.
And today, the inhabitants of Memphis have finally seen the true power of this legendary family.
Dozens of guards, nearly a hundred soldiers, all loaded with guns, stood in rows at the door, looking from a distance like countless towering high walls, blocking everyone's view.
The black flintlock pistol reflected the orange glow of the setting sun, the smell of iron blood filled the entire area, and the piercing killing intent made the reporters who were watching involuntarily retreat.
Logan Francis's expression was very ugly, not because of the soldiers who had been transferred from the army, but because of the people who stood in front of them.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Will Clinton, Commissioner of Inland Revenue Oliver Becky, Deputy Commissioner Peter Russell, Speaker Mike Hughes, and Vice President Warren Jackson......
A long list of officials, each in an important position, and every move of their feet, the city of Memphis shuddered.
And now, they were standing in front of themselves, outside the main entrance of the McConaughey family.
What is the ability of the owner of this manor to make such a high-ranking official come like a domestic servant?
In a building not far behind the main entrance, Ian McConton stood on the second-floor balcony, glass of red wine, quietly watching it all.
His expression was calm, but the corners of his mouth were raised high, and even the scars on his face were twisted.
"Erik, if you're standing in the shoes of our mayor, what are you going to do now?"
"I don't know." The bearded man smiled and shook his head, "I can't think of any other way than to retreat." ā
Rogan really didn't know what to do next, in the face of such a huge amount of power, all the strategies developed between them failed, and the search warrant in his hand became a joke.
His expression was ugly, his eyes were gloomy, and there was a faint hint of imperceptible fear, if he had known that the McConaughey family had such great energy, he would not have dared to make this decision rashly no matter what.
But it's too late now, the arrow is already wound, and if it doesn't start, it will only become a laughing stock.
Logan gestured to Blott behind him, stepped forward, and said,
"Your Excellency the Speaker, I'm here to carry out a search order."
"I don't remember the constitution that gave the mayor the right to execute a search warrant." Congressman Mike Hughes said with a blank face,
"This incident involves a dance attack that took place four days ago, and the joints are very involved, which is why I had to come in person, please do not stop it."
"Don't stand in the way!" Mike Hughes snorted heavily and exclaimed, "You're kidding, Governor Robin McConaughey has worked so hard for Tennessee for more than ten years that he's so sick that he's still bedridden, and you're crazy to suspect that there are dark creatures in his house to search for him." ā
After speaking, he waved his big hand, and the soldier behind him stepped forward, holding his gun in both hands, without aiming, but everyone could see the toughness.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of the residents watching from a distance suddenly became nervous, if it goes on like this, it won't really fight!
