Everyone was left bewildered, motionless, and silent as they stared at the scene before them.Even as Roy gulped, his resentment toward Penny grew.But there was no helping it—she was so strong she could murder someone as he watched, and he could not react in time at all. If the tip of Penny's blade had kept going straight for even a little, it would have pierced his scalp, too!Under such circumstances, he certainly wasn't brave enough to show further insubordination, and he quickly said, "Apologies for not disciplining my men better, Praetor! I have every right to be punished!"Penny laughed icily. "That would be unnecessary. The mutineer is dead, while the rest of you just had to learn from that lesson. Before I go, I had better not hear any such petty insults, or your captain here will have to be punished, too!"Roy promptly saluted Penny, immediately reverent as he exclaimed, "Thank you for your magnanimity! Rest assured, it won't happen again!"Penny replied coolly, "You
Chapter 6826
At least half of the fifteen carriages of cargo that had arrived at the Duca Mines were mechanical equipment needed for mining, and the other half were various parts, wiring, and everything in between needed for upgrading the security system.Charlie, who had already changed into a loader's uniform, was hiding behind the cargo as a cavalry guard opened the door.After checking the goods with the list he was holding, he called out, "All construction materials here, Captain!"Roy promptly shouted back, "Alright, just leave it be! Get the security equipment first!""Got it!" The cavalry guard replied loudly, shut the carriage door in front of Charlie, and went to the next carriage.Charlie thought he could use his mind trick on the cavalry guard to keep him inside the carriage, but he soon remembered that the cultivator and the captain of the cavalry guard were waiting on the platform. As such, he decided to wait and watch what happened instead.Penny was ready to leave, seeing that

Although Charlie hadn't expected the cultivator's presence, the plan was still in play.In addition to her, Charlie also noticed that one of the Cavalry Guard was a rank-two Dark Realm, who was the strongest just next to the cultivator.He had a hunch that the man was the commander of the Cavalry Guard, though he wasn't sure about the woman.Still, considering how the peaking order worked back at Cyprus, even Lucian Daubray was just a rank-three Dark Realm, who was far weaker than the cultivator.This meant the cultivator was several ranks higher than Lucian in the Qing Eliminating Society's hierarchy.In that case, that meant the cultivator wasn't actually based here in Duca Mines, and the Qing Eliminating Society had sent her here. If anything, she might even belong to somewhere important… like the Right Military Governor's Office.And that actually pleased Charlie considerably.The Four Earls were, at best, the strongest cavalry guards. To the Qing Eliminating Society, they

Just the word "transition" left the cavalry guards on the platform anxious.Family was the biggest reason they still served the Qing Eliminating Society, and now, they were being told that they would be separated indefinitely.After that, the only thing they could do would be to serve the Qing Eliminating Society until they died, most likely without ever seeing their family again.Seeing everyone sulking, Penny frowned and demanded coldly, "What? Did you all not take a vow to serve? Are you giving us an attitude just because we're separating you from your families temporarily?!"While her words infuriated everyone even more, no one dared argue because she was a praetor, a senior official who directly answered to the governor.Despite being a Singer and not a Griffin, she was still a relative and therefore, a VIP.Moreover, she was a cultivator whose cultivation ranked much higher than theirs, meaning that she had both the authority and strength to execute them as she saw fit.Wi

As such, even if the trap in Nigeria failed, Fleur still had to prevent the possibility of every personnel in a dead soldier base completely deserting their posts.And for that, she had come up with the transition plan. By separating the armed cavalry guard from their families, they wouldn't be able to run away with them. And with new cavalry guards transferred to unfamiliar surroundings, any camaraderie that had grown over the years would fade.In this way, if Fleur's mysterious foe came after another dead soldier base, none of the cavalry guards would even think of insubordination—not with their families' lives at stake. If any of them were to go missing for too long, their families would be massacred immediately.On the contrary, if they fought and died courageously and left a pretty corpse, their families would be honored.Simply put, the families of each cavalry guard were being threatened to ensure loyalty unto death.Fleur was naturally confident that once the transition wa

Everyone quickly tensed up at Penny's mention of the 'transition', though it was Roy who quickly asked in a respectful tone, "If I may, Praetor… What does this 'transition' entail?"Penny calmly replied, "Everyone's reaction makes it clear that you've all heard the rumors. You are a cavalry guard, and that means you're not kept in the dark like the dead shoulders… Are you really sure that your superiors never told you anything? Why ask me?"Roy promptly bowed his head frantically. "I won't presume to speculate about our superior's orders, so I'm humbly asking now that you've mentioned it, Praetor. If you find it inconvenient to disclose the details, just pretend that I ever asked..."Penny smiled ever so faintly. "I guess it's no issue to tell you. While I came for something else, it's been dragging long enough that it's finally time to start preparing.”Pausing, she looked around at everyone before she continued, "See, this transition means a major rotation in locations for cavalr
