Chapter 719 The Wallace Family Of Lumenopolis

After Glasses fled from the villa, he had heard about how Ace and Deuce were punished.

When he knew how they were tortured, it sent a shiver down his spine. Also, he couldn't be any more relieved that he fled without hesitation.

Otherwise, he, too, would have to suffer the same consequences.

Given that their secret hideout had been taken over by Flynn, and the fact that many men in Nebula City were hunting for him, he knew he had no choice but to leave.

In fact, his wanted picture was being circulated all over the common phone apps. Seized by panic, he would only go out in sunglasses and a face mask.

After having painstakingly bought a ticket to Lumenopolis from the black market, Glasses traveled there nervously, fearful of being discovered along the way.

Much to his surprise, he managed to arrive in Lumenopolis safely.

At the entrance of the Wallace residence, Glasses took off his mask and heaved a sigh of relief.

After explaining his presence and showing the guard a special token from the Wallace family, he was finally allowed to enter.

"Why are you the one to come? Where's Deuce?" Jared Wallace gave Glasses an intimidating glare.

Glasses replied candidly, "He has been captured while our hideout in Nebula City has been taken over. The children whom we kidnapped have also been released. As of now, Nebula City is fervidly cracking down on our operation. There's no way we can continue our work there."

In truth, his only goal was to report to his boss what had happened so that he could be given some money. After that, he planned to take his wife and kids back to their village and live out their days in a bungalow.

He preferred to follow what Deuce had suggested to Ace, which was to become a farmer in his hometown instead of continuing their vices.

He was worried that history would repeat itself one unlucky day, and he would suffer the same fate as his accomplices.

"What? The base in Nebula City has been decimated?" Jared sprang to his feet in disbelief.

Nebula City is a small place where no one dares to go against me. So how did the base get wiped out?

"Tell me, what happened exactly?" Jared questioned Glasses.

Without hiding anything, Glasses recounted the events in great detail.

"Alex? Isn't he the outcast of the Jefferson family? How dare he interfere in my affairs?" Jared thundered as his eye flashed with murderous intent.

His operations had spanned three cities, namely Nebula City, Jadeborough, and Kenfort,

Given that one of the three bases had been destroyed, the supply of organs from the harvesting operation would naturally be reduced. However, it was a development Jared wasn't going to accept. Shifting his gaze to an old man in a black robe beside him, Jared asked respectfully, "Mr. Jensen, now that our supply of organs has been reduced, will it affect the production of the pill Nodding, Edward replied in a hoarse voice, "Of course. The organs are a key ingredient in making the pill. If the supply is affected, your sickness..."

Although Edward didn't complete his sentence, what he wanted to convey was already obvious.

Having heard his response, Jared furrowed his eyebrows, which caused his forehead to wrinkle further.

He was fifty-four that year. Four years ago, he was stricken by a rare disease. Every night, fish-scale-like substances would appear on his skin and cause him to itch uncontrollably. Whenever it occurred, he would be tormented for two to three hours before it gradually improved. He had gone to Noblesse Mountains to have his condition treated, but he was told that it was his retribution for having done too many bad deeds. Hence, he needed to perform more good deeds and give away his wealth so that his descendants would not be affected by further calamities

As a businessman, there was no way Jared would accept such a fate. Given how much effort the Wallace family had put in to accumulate such wealth, he wasn't going to let it be destroyed just like that. When he was out traveling three years ago, he had run into Edward. Edward had accurately recognized the symptoms he had and given him a pill to suppress his condition from flaring.

Nevertheless, the pill could only suppress the symptoms and wasn't good enough to cure him entirely. Therefore, Jared had managed to convince Edward to stay at the Wallace residence after spending a fortune and buying all the medicinal herbs Edward needed.
