Yang Cheng turned his gaze to Grace and said calmly, "Director Grace, time is running out. Jerome has only given us twelve hours."
To be precise, this timeframe wasn't given by Jerome, but by Gordon.
Jerome has already sacrificed all his internal organs and flesh; he won't live more than twelve hours.
When he finally succumbs to his exhaustion and dies, his soul will naturally be offered as a sacrifice to Gordon, and Gordon will then descend.
So whether to bring Harkins back or just let him go is a decision you, Chief Grace, must make yourself.
Even if Grace hadn't agreed, Yang Cheng would still have gone to capture that Hudgens.
After all, Jerome had the information he needed.
He just wanted to see what Grace, the bureau chief, was capable of.
Grace gritted her teeth and said, "Of course we have to catch Harkins!"
If we don't bring that bastard along, who knows how many people will die once Gordon arrives!
I went to the police headquarters to report to the director-general, and also reported to the royal family.
If they still don't agree, I'll take this to the Night's Watch of the Holy See and let the Holy See resolve it!
Yang Cheng glanced at Grace with slight surprise. This bureau chief was really going all out. He was not only jeopardizing his own future, but he was practically risking his life.
The Assyrian Kingdom and the Church of Light have many grudges against each other, and they do not want the Church of Light's Night Watch to get involved in such supernatural events.
Each time they intervene, the power of the Holy See increases.
Therefore, the Assyrian Kingdom handled most things on its own, except for supernatural events discovered by the Night's Watch, which they had no control over.
If Grace herself were to report this to the Church of Light, then the Assyrian Kingdom would truly lose face.
At that time, Grace not only lost her future, but the big shots above her even wanted her dead.
"Hughes and Lenser, you take men to capture Harkins. If anyone resists, kill everyone except Harkins!"
Before Hughes and Lenser could agree, Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "I'll go instead."
Huggins had already mastered the magic circle for worshipping Gordon before the hospital was built, and then stopped it in time just before Gordon was about to descend.
To achieve this, even if Huggins himself is not a superhuman, he must have superhumans around him offering advice, and these superhumans must be quite powerful.
Sending them there is practically suicide; I'll do it myself.
Grace said somewhat embarrassedly, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Yang."
Yang Cheng was only a special advisor, and he had already done a great deal of help in handling supernatural events. Now, he was going to arrest Harkins, which was beyond the scope of his duties as a special advisor.
Master Morton, who was standing nearby, also said, "I'll also go back to the Alchemist's Association to prepare a sealing formation, and I can also find a few elders to speak on my behalf."
Even if Harkins has powerful backers, they still need to consider the influence of the Alchemist's Guild.
Yang Cheng asked, "Where are Harkins now? Find someone who knows the way to come with me."
Hughes quickly said, "Mr. Yang, please take me there. I know the way to several nightclubs in the central area, including Huggins's."
Yang Cheng nodded, picked up Hughes, and said casually, "Close your eyes in a moment."
Before Hughes could react, Yang Cheng had already lifted him up and unleashed his maximum speed, producing a piercing whistling sound that disappeared almost instantly.
Grace and Morton were both dumbfounded.
After a moment, Grace turned her gaze to Morton: "Are all melee-type superhumans this powerful?"
Morton was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "How is that possible? This Mr. Yang is much stronger than I imagined. His physical strength is beyond human capabilities."
Even Patrick, the second-in-command of the Night's Watch, known as the Guardian of Light and capable of tearing dragons apart with his bare hands, did not possess such physical strength.
Most ordinary people possess various magical abilities, but the strongest are those who can summon wind and rain.
In reality, the strongest beings are those who have elevated their power to its extreme and have completely surpassed the mortal realm in certain aspects.
Extraordinary, extraordinary, but very few can truly be extraordinary.
Theoretically speaking, true transcendence is already demigod.
If Yang Cheng were to fight him to the death with his strength, he would have already blown Morton apart with a single punch before Morton's formation could even take effect.
