Chapter 94: Surprise Attack
🕑 Added 2023-09-24 05:30:01 +0000 UTCCharles immediately spotted Ginny and several High Table Envoys who had been waiting on the side when he arrived at the site.
He walked over to Ginny and instructed her excitedly, "Take me to the scene. I want to see if there's what I need."
Ginny, observing Charles's unusual excitement, which was a rare sight considering his normally composed demeanor, couldn't help but be curious.
She knew that even when Charles had received hundreds of millions of dollars in gifts or a 2-billion-dollar bounty, he had never shown such excitement.
"BOSS, please follow me," Ginny said. She led Charles into the underground tunnel they had excavated.
The tunnel was deep, stretching dozens of meters underground.
Along the way, Charles saw many High Table Envoys busy transporting soil outside. In the deeper parts of the tunnel, occasional explosions and loud calls from Rock Lee could be heard.
Shortly, Ginny brought Charles to the end of the tunnel. There, Rock Lee was attacking a gray-white wall, while Sasuke Uchiha was placing explosive tags in places where the gray white energy wall had not yet been excavated, preparing for controlled explosions.
Seeing Charles Doyle's arrival, everyone stopped their work and respectfully greeted him, "Lord Charles."
Charles nodded and said, "You've done a great job with the excavation. I didn't expect such progress in just three days. It's beyond my expectations."
"Moreover, our luck seems to be good. Out of the three predicted locations, we've already found what we're looking for in the first one."
To be honest, Charles had expected this process to take longer—perhaps even dozens of days. He had already prepared for the Hell's Kitchen Police Department to move, just in case.
Upon hearing Charles's praise, Rock Lee and Sasuke Uchiha both wore smiles on their dust-covered faces.
Charles then approached the energy barrier and began to observe it closely.
He vaguely remembered that the place where the Dragon Bone was located had a seal, which seemed to have been broken by Iron Fist.
Rock Lee, who was standing nearby, spoke up, "Lord Charles, it seems that the strength of this seal isn't very high. If we continue to attack it continuously, I think we can break it."
Charles nodded and carefully observed the seal. Looking through the barrier into its depths, he could vaguely see what appeared to be a massive creature sealed inside. However, the view was not clear.
Charles furrowed his brow. In the Marvel world, who could be absolutely certain whether the seal contained Dragon Bones or some other supernatural entity? Anything was possible!
If they accidentally unleashed a formidable demon or a projection of a Celestial, either one would be a threat that he, in his current state, could not contend with.
Unable to see clearly, how could he gain a clearer view?
"Sharingan - Activate!"
In the next moment, Charles Doyle's eyes underwent a transformation. A pair of two tomoe Sharingan appeared in his pupils.
With the Sharingan's enhanced perception, Charles could finally see what lay within the energy barrier. Before his eyes was the skeletal remains of a colossal dragon.
If he had to describe it, Charles felt the term "Dragon Skeleton" was appropriate. After all, without the flesh and blood, what remained was indeed a dragon skeleton.
Charles knew that the owner of this skeleton was none other than Shou Lao of Kunlun.
Before each of Shou Lao's reincarnations, he would leave behind a body. In this once desolate land, Shou Lao had undergone a Nirvana, and with the ever-changing tides of time, what was once barren wasteland had transformed into a thriving metropolis.
The dragon remains left on the surface eventually turned into dragon bones buried underground.
Once Charles confirmed that it was indeed dragon bones, he said, "Sasuke, join me in attacking the seal with Chidori. Rock Lee, you use your strongest physical techniques to hit it continuously. We'll try to break the seal."
"Ginny, please maintain order at the scene and ensure that everyone remains calm."
"Yes!" x3
Following Charles Doyle's orders, Ginny began to maintain order at the scene.
Rock Lee immediately initiated a relentless assault with his taijutsu techniques. His most powerful move, the Reverse Lotus, was not suitable for attacking an inanimate object like the seal.
Charles and Sasuke Uchiha simultaneously formed hand seals with their hands, gathering lightning chakra between their palms. The sound of crackling lightning resonated through the underground tunnel, echoing far and wide.
As the two charged forward at high speed, they delivered a powerful Chidori strike to the seal in front of them. Lightning flashed, and the energy barrier trembled. The thickness of the barrier visibly diminished.
Seeing the results, Charles ordered, "Continue the attack."
As for using a large number of explosive tags for pinpoint explosions, Charles had considered it. However, using them sparingly had little effect, and using too many might cause the tunnel to collapse, burying everyone inside.
Charles, Sasuke, and Rock Lee continued their assault on the seal.
…
On the other side-
Stick led members of the Chaste to the piece of land that Charles had acquired.
During this time, members of the Chaste had gathered information about Ginny and her High Table members' activities.
They couldn't help but notice the constant transport of dirt from the construction site. The Chaste's ninjas responsible for monitoring the site had also reported Charles Doyle's arrival today.
After a brief analysis, Stick came to a conclusion: Charles Doyle was also searching for Dragon Bones, and it was highly likely he had already found his target.
Stick sensed the guards at the main entrance of the construction site and ordered quietly, "Attack!"
In the next moment, several Chaste members dressed as ninjas quietly approached the guards near the entrance and swiftly slit their throats with their daggers.
They dragged the bodies into the construction site and concealed them. Then, they opened the main gate, allowing hundreds of Chaste members, along with Stick, to flood in.
They killed anyone they encountered without hesitation, their movements swift and efficient.
The guards at the construction site posed no significant resistance. In no time, they had all been killed or injured.
Stick and the Chaste didn’t adhered to no-kill principles, unlike the Daredevil, who often showed mercy. They attacked the High Table members mercilessly.
As for the sounds of the battle, it was concealed, especially in the underground tunnel where the constant thunderous noise from Charles and the others masked any other sounds.
