BXBX NOVEL Chapter 11
Chapter 11: Kirin of the Central Region, King of War!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In the Southern Lakes Division of the Executive Bureau of Javon.
“We’ve got a homicide report from the Southern Lakes Villas. Team A and Team B, come with me!”
Sheriff Andrew Lester acted right away after getting the call.
The Southern Lakes Division had three teams in all, and Andrew Lester dispatched two at once. He was taking the report very seriously.
“According to the anonymous report, the suspect is probably a professional killer. All of you, brace yourselves! Is that clear?” Andrew Lester told his subordinates seriously.
Everyone answered him in one serious voice, “Yes, sir!”
“Let’s go!”
Seven or eight blue and white chariots of the Executive Bureau started to move and left for the Southern Lakes Villas immediately.
At the same time, besides Bruce White and Jordan Stuart—who was on his deathbed—Kirin was also in the latter’s villa. He was standing quietly next to Bruce White.
Kirin was more than six feet tall and had a handsome face. The military uniform on him made him look even more manly.
But the four brilliant golden stars on Kirin’s shoulders were even more noteworthy.
Any man with four stars on his epaulets could not be average. He must have achieved brilliant things in war to gain them.
As a matter of fact, just like Bruce White, Kirin had also fought in many wars, and his clothes had gotten stained with a lot of blood too. He got each star on his epaulets at the risk of his life and at the cost of his blood.
It was thanks to the tens of thousands of soldiers and generals like him who guarded the territory of Langdon at the risk of their lives that the invaders were kept away and the country remained intact.
Kirin was the strongest among the Five Great Kings of War in the White Coat Battle Division. The man whose real name was Colt Hart was the Central Region King of War. People liked to call him the Modern Sword Deity. Kirin was his title.
Green Dragon in the east, White Tiger in the west, Red Peacock in the south, Black Tortoise in the north, and Kirin the Sword Deity guards the central region!
This saying was particularly used to describe the Five Great Kings of War.
It also described the area the five of them guarded respectively. Any enemy that wanted to enter Langdon had to first break through those five defenses.
However, few people knew the so-called Five Great Kings of War used to be Bruce White’s guards.
At the moment, Kirin had slipped back into his old role. He was guarding Bruce White like a loyal bodyguard.
“Kirin, where are the others now?”
Bruce White knew the young men he had trained too well. And knowing him, they would absolutely come to see him despite potential punishments they might face.
Kirin scratched his head and showed a shy smile. Who would believe the Central Region King of War and the Modern Sword Deity had such a simple side?
And Bruce White was the only man in this world who could make him show this side of him.
“Green Dragon and his team are not far away. I suppose they might have arrived already. I told them to guard Javon at the periphery.
“The four Gods of War are on their way back. It will probably take them a while,” answered Kirin.
All of the Five Great Kings of War were in Javon at the moment. What a surprise!
Four strong men in military suits were standing on the city wall in the east, west, south, and north of Javon respectively.
They gazed at every person going into Javon with a serious look, guarding the city like four patron saints.
“Tell them to come here. Don’t affect the civilians...”
WEE-oww-WEE-oww-WEE-oww...
A hurried siren came from outside before Bruce White could finish his words.
Obviously, it was Andrew Lester’s men who had arrived.
“Those of you inside, listen up! You have been surrounded. Drop your weapons and come out of the house. Do it right now!”
Andrew Lester was shouting at the villa with a loudspeaker. Behind him were the policemen of the Executive Bureau with their hands at the waists, poised and ready to dash out anytime.
“Almighty, I will take care of this.”
Bruce White nodded his acquiescence to Kirin.
Creak!
The door was opened. Kirin walked out in his military uniform. The kindness on his face had been replaced by seriousness now.
Oh?
Andrew Lester was struck dumb. He could hardly take his eyes off the four golden stars on Kirin’s epaulets.
This man had four stars on his epaulets. He must be an unparalleled general from the battle division!
Andrew Lester had never expected to see a general with four stars on his epaulets walk out instead of a criminal.
He intuited that something was not quite right. Kirin showed his ID to him. “I am Kirin, a King of War of the White Coat Battle Division!”
Andrew Lester was struck dumb the moment he saw the ID. He felt his blood freeze and he was completely petrified.
“The... The Central Region King of War! Kirin!!!?”
Andrew Lester’s jaw dropped. He was dumbfounded. The Central Region King of War... The man standing in front of him turned out to be Kirin, a King of War, the Modern Sword Deity, a valiant general who guarded the central region.
Hiss!
Andrew Lester gasped. He could not calm down even after a long time passed. Seeing him react like this, a subordinate next to him hurried to alert him.
Gulp!
Andrew Lester seemed to swallow something. Then, he came to himself. He shouted at his subordinates immediately, “Hold on! Nobody move. Whoever pulls his gun out, I won’t let him off!”
Who would have the nerve to pull a gun out under the nose of the Central Region King of War? That was no joke! Wouldn’t it be the same as courting death?
Andrew Lester did not dare move and Kirin approached him.
“Go back to tell Hanson Holt to stay out of this. Send all of your men to the hospital.”
Shivering like crazy, Andrew Lester seemed to have lost control of his own body. He stammered out a reply, “Un... Understood...”
“By the way, there is one more thing.”
Still shivering, Andrew Lester said, “What... Whatever you say...”
“I’ll leave those people to you. Investigate each of them, and punish them severely!”
Andrew Lester nodded, trembling. He told his subordinates to take those who had come with Francis Stuart back to the Bureau. Bruce White had not intended to kill them, but they were all injured, which was inevitable.
To everyone’s surprise, Andrew Lester came with great fanfare, but in the end, his task was simply to clean up the battlefield.
Andrew Lester recalled what Kirin had said to him after he had finished cleaning and took his mobile phone out right away.
And he was instantly struck dumb.
More than one hundred missed calls!
All from Hanson Holt, the head of the Executive Bureau of Javon and his boss!
Shoo... Shoot...
“Andrew! What the hell! Where the hell are you?! Listen up, you didn’t do anything to the man in the villa, did you? If you did, you’ll be...”
Hanson Holt’s angry voice came as soon as Andrew Lester took the call.
“Boss, I...” Andrew Lester was at a loss. He felt he was going to cry.
“You what? Did you do anything to the man in there or not?!” Hanson Holt flew into a rage.
“I... I didn’t even see him, but I...”
Andrew Lester’s halting manner piled more blame onto himself. “Damn it! Stop slurring. Say everything all at once!”
“I saw Kirin, the Central Region King of War!”
Beep!
Hanson Holt freaked out on the other end of the call. Like a cat on hot bricks, he could not decide whether to stand up or sit down. He found neither position comfortable.
After hearing Andrew Lester’s description of the situation, he realized Kirin was not the man he was referring to.
But that made him even more startled.
Even Kirin had come to protect that man. That meant, this man must be in a higher position than he had thought.
“What did I do to deserve this?!”
Hanson Holt was distraught. Javon was a small place, but how come he had no idea at all that there was such a big shot in town?
More importantly, that big shot’s family was kidnapped, tortured, and almost got killed in his administrative region.
“What the... What the hell is all this??? Alas...”
Hanson Holt even wanted to kill Jordan Stuart.
“Okay Stuarts, you are great. You are awesome. You can do whatever you want! I couldn’t care less!” Hanson Holt was still yelling.
Kirin had made it very clear that they did not need the Executive Bureau to intervene.
Hanson Holt’s temper fell to zero. He had to dispatch his men to the hospital as Kirin told him, to ensure the safety of Bruce White’s godmother.
At the same time, the air in the old house of the Stuarts was charged with tension.
