“Enough noise!”

The head of the Harris Family is seated, with his hands on the table in front of him: “I’ve made a decision. The clean members of our family in the market should pass the check and seek as much help as they can. The rest should contact the powerful experts who don’t have the confidence to pass, together we’ll find a way…”

“But what can we do?”

Despair seemed to flicker in Banjia’s eyes, “The Federation and church have deployed at least several Fifth-Level professionals this time, and there’s the horrible marvel to consider… There’s also the arrest of Moron that provides them with a pretext, it would be tough to get them to back off.”

“Regardless, we must try! Pressure must be exerted on all fronts to maybe make them back off voluntarily… Besides that, we must devise a plan to escape on our own. The professions and abilities on the mysterious side exceed our imagination. We should still retain hope.”

The head of the Harris Family sighed.

“That’s right!”

A pitch-black shadow quietly slithered from the door crack, forming a black human-like figure: “We must cooperate… Otherwise, when the Federation takes action, it would be too late.”

“Time is on their side…”

The grand door blasted open with a resounding boom and several forbidding dark powerful experts appeared: “The more innocent people leave, the fewer ‘hostages’ remain here, and they will likely hasten their moves. Not to mention ten hours, we might only get for two to three hours to prepare!”

Among this group, Su Lu stood coldly in a corner with his arms crossed.

In fact, him being able to immediately gather them together was partially his contribution.

“The [Phantom Master] from the Ancient Snake Society?”

The head of the Harris Family looked around and said in a low voice: “I am Parker! Parker Harris! Gentlemen, our family is sworn to protect your right to trade freely and safely, no matter who you are, here, you are the guest of the Harris Family.”

“Heehee… If it weren’t for the many spirits that you’ve vexed, you would’ve probably joined the Federation by now, right?”

A glamorous woman who had a slender waist suddenly spoke, “There is no need for any words, we have no other choice now!”

Parker’s face twitched: “That’s right, we… have no other choice.”

He signaled, and the lower status members of the Harris Family, or those who had not committed crimes of bloodshed, nor possessed wicked professions, withdrew.

“Since everyone here is intelligent, I will be straightforward… Are there any [Teleportation Mages] present? Or any teleportation-related marvels?”

A silence ensued.

After a long pause, an aged voice replied, “No need to try. Our dimensions are already sealed off by them. Teleportation is impossible; only the Spirit World might offer some possibility…”

“Dimension” is a concept in the Material Realm. The so-called “dimensional lock” hampers the ability to teleport in the Material Realm.

“What you’re saying… we can only go through the Spirit World? But that angel…”

Parker turned pale.

“Cough cough… Even if we want to traverse the Spirit World, one must have the skill of Spirit World Traversal! And furthermore… there is a high chance that it will not be possible to transport this many people.” As an expert in matters related to the Spirit World, Su Lu chipped in.

He found it slightly annoying to discover that he was the one at the meeting who had the deepest understanding of the Spirit World.

“Damn… Why don’t we just rush out together!”

A muscular man with a large build broke the silence: “Are there any hidden Fifth-Level professionals? Or any other powerful marvels? Don’t hide them…”

When his gaze was returned by Parker, Parker shook his head: “Though the Harris Family has some deep roots, we don’t possess any Legend…”

To be frank, given the rarity of Legends, the fact that Moron, who was a Legend, was previously hidden in the Mysterious Fair, was beyond his expectations already.

Moreover, forcing a breakthrough, regardless of its feasibility, would result in many deaths!

Others laying down their lives would cause few of those present to bat an eyelid.

But if they themselves were to risk death, they would definitely hesitate.

“So, are we just waiting to die?”

Someone among the dark powerful experts cried out in despair: “This is your Harris Family’s territory, you must take the responsibility!”

“Huh… Did I beg any of you to come here?”

No matter how good-tempered Parker was, he couldn’t help but give a cold laugh: “We’ll just go out together and see how the Federation deals with us…”

After all, the Harris Family was a significant local force, with a delicate relationship of both opposition and cooperation with the Federation.

In other words, even if they were captured, confirmed guilty, and thrown into a special prison, there might still be hope for rescue!

The most worrying part is the possibility of followers from the Goddess Church waiting outside.

Those fanatics were crazies who might even have prepared a stake for burning them alive on the spot, with an assurance to burn away their souls into nothingness!

As the tension on both sides heightened, Harris Family members gathered around Parker, releasing their professional’s power, and evidences of their professions emerged around them.

‘Master level… two of them… three experts…’

Su Lu stood in a corner, a glint appeared in his eyes: ‘Compared to us, even though they have more people on their side, they’re not as united as them. If a real fight starts, we might not win. Not to mention, the Federation and Church would just laugh their heads off…’

Of course, there were also pros to every con.

Besides a few hot-headed individuals gunning for the Harris Family, the rest of the dark powerful experts managed to keep their cool.

“That’s enough…”

As he considered the situation, Parker Harris regained his composure: “We all gathered here to find a way out, not to fight.”

“I want to ask – the Door of the Different World that was auctioned off on the first day of the Exchange Conference, has it arrived yet?”

The elder who seemed to be conversant with dimensional locks and seemed to be a [Teleportation Mage] asked first.

“The Door of the Different World?”

Harris looked slightly moved, “It’s already arrived. It’s being kept by our Harris Family inside the auction. Could it be employed usefully?”

“I don’t know… but we could give it a shot.”

The elder said, “I am Bru! Bru Winston! I’ve conducted some minor research into teleportation spells…””

“So it’s Master Bru!”

Parker’s expression turned respectful. It took him not more than a few minutes to make a decision: “I’ll immediately order my man to unseal the Door of the Different World. Although it goes against the employer’s interests, the family will, according to the agreement, compensate for the loss doubly.”

Before the life and death of the family, Parker didn’t worry much about business integrity.

—This unexpected assault by the Federation managed to assemble a formidable force and, most importantly, actually arrested Moron. The family was caught off guard.

The ensuing search was a logical expectation; there was no reason to oppose it!

But as long as they could escape, stirring public sympathy to put pressure on the authorities, even if the person behind all this was the same, they may not dare to do anything against the Harris Family again.

The key point was that the investment was not proportional to the output; there wasn’t sufficient interest.

“It’s actually Master Bru!”

“That’s amazing; we may have a chance now.”

A glint of joy appeared on the faces of the dark powerful experts around them.

This person called Bru seemed to be a well-known researcher of dimensions.
