I Can Contract Beauties-Chapter 199: Arrival Of Cardino’s Back Up

With Elder Journey admitting the crime himself, Cardino did not think that it would be difficult this time around.

As long as he did not escape, Cardino was confident that Elder Journey would be revoked of his status, and would be sent to the deepest part of the dungeon to become a prisoner.

Now that he had already sent the signal, the only thing he needed to do was to wait for the arrival of the strong elders of the Red Family and apprehend him when that time comes.

For now, though, Cardino wore a grave expression on his face as he stated, "This... Elder Journey. Are you really sure that you are the one who killed these innocent people? In such a gruesome manner?"

Delaying Elder Journey here was his main priority at this moment.

He only needs two minutes at most, at that time, he knew that an elder would have already arrived to help him sort the situation out.

Meanwhile, seeing that Cardino was acting too ’professionally’, he felt amused and wanted to see what he wanted to do.

’Is he still adamant on trying to corner me?’ He thought to himself as he recalled the previous instance with Sendel and Orman’s case.

Hearing him mention ’innocent people’ and even emphasizing the words, Miguel saw through his intention without even the innate skill having to work.

Wanting to gain the upper hand before him through words?

Miguel scoffed inwardly as a smile appeared on his face, "I am indeed the one who killed those people. What of it?"

Two can play this game.

Knowing that Cardino had called for a back up earlier with the subtle movements inside his pocket, Miguel merely played along and waited for his back up to come as well.

"This... Elder Journey. Are you not aware that murder and killing is prohibited inside the city? Why have you done such a thing?" At this point, his voice was one full of concern.

If anyone did not know better, they would surely think that he was genuinely concerned for what Elder Journey had done.

At this point, people had already gathered around the area.

Mortals, martial artists, and even some Grimoire summoners flocked to see what the commotion was all about.

Aside from them, the guards also came for back-up.

Being surrounded by such many guards, one would surely think that they were here to apprehend a notorious criminal.

The people around gradually learned of the matter. All of them could not help but hiss in horror upon seeing the brutal scene in the amusement park. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Upon learning that it was Elder Journey who did such a thing, more people were even more gobsmacked, not knowing what had gotten to this elder.

Those who knew of his identity disseminated the information to everyone. At this point, more and more learned of his identity, and more people grew confused at his actions.

Could it be that he had gone berserk?

This thought could not help but surface on their mind.

However, upon seeing such a calm person sitting in the public chair leisurely, such thoughts were dismissed in an instant.

A while later, a commotion broke through in the distance.

People’s attention was immediately attracted.

All of them turned their head, even Miguel and his two ladies turned their heads toward that person as well.

Wearing a red robe akin to a wizard, an old man with white beard and hair came into view.

He was riding a fierce red tiger as his mount. It was pretty massive, even bigger than a carriage. It exudes an aura of dignity and authority.

Seeing him appear, Cardino’s smile was very apparent.

"Master Nelson, you’re finally here."

A sigh of relief seemed to escape his mouth.

Finally, Elder Journey would no longer be able to escape.

Master Nelson was one of the many elders of the Red Family that was appointed as a guard. In terms of seniority, he was two generations older than Cardino.

He was also a grimoire summoner. A grimoire summoner of the Red Family who was famous for having a Gold Grade Beast.

Aside from Master Nelson, three more figures emerged right behind him as well.

Each of them exuded a strong aura, riding on their respective mounts. One even came from the sky, riding a huge red sparrow that attracted everyone’s attention.

Aside from them, the current leader of the Red Family, Damian was also present. Beside him was Domen who was wearing a confused expression on his face.

The people looked around and could not help but feel intimidated by such a sight.

Saying that the Blazing City was the personal property of the Red Family was truly not an exaggeration.

With such a line up, who would dare to contend with them in Blazing City?

Having one person as strong as Master Nelson would already allow one family to have a strong footing in Blazing City, how much more if they have more?

Not to mention, there was a high chance that the Red Family was still not showing all of their cards.

The formidable aura of those present made the hearts of the onlooker palpitate.

They turned to look at the person in the middle, sitting leisurely in the chair.

Seeing him, they could not help but think to themselves.

’How can he still keep calm in such a moment?’

Surrounded by various masters, anyone around would surely pee on their pants in fright.

Some might even flee at the sight of such a line up.

Realizing that a battle might break out in the next moment, most people withdrew from the scene in a hurry.

The one’s that remained in the proximity were the strong guards as well as the high ranking members of the Red Family.

A pin drop silence ensued at the next moment.

Cardino withdrew himself away from Elder Journey as he bowed respectfully to the people who arrived late.

Master Nelson stroked his long white beard as he looked at Cardino.

"Speak. What urgent matter was it that you even pressed the Urgent Flare?
