Wipe everyone out...
For the sake of saving their families, the four leaders had no choice but to sacrifice themselves.
So, they lowered their heads as they picked up a katana each and aimed it at their bellies...
It was a tragic, blood-stained night.
“Put them into their coffins! Rest in peace, my friend.”
“Rest in peace, General!”
......
Back at the Luna Manor in Atheville.
Theodore Luna received words that the men he had sent to ‘help’ the four major households never got to meet
them.
He immediately called John over to find out what was going on.
“I’ve just received the news too,” John answered truthfully. “Zeke Williams urgently organized a grave-moving
ceremony for Frederick Walters last night. The four major household leaders were forced to kill themselves as
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtretribution.”
Theodore sighed. “I didn’t think that fellow would be one step ahead of us. By the way, did the four leaders expose
my identity?”
John shook his head. “I don’t know.”
Theodore was in a bind. “Hmm... In that case, I have even more reason not to go against Zeke now. If I were to plot
something against him when the four leaders never even exposed me, I’d only end up giving myself away and
make him suspicious of me. However, Zeke must not gain a foothold in Atheville. He’s a huge safety hazard. I can’t
sleep well as long as he’s around. By the way, I’ve heard that Zeke is related to the Williams family of Atheville.
Have you looked into this?”
John hurriedly nodded. “Yes, I have. Zeke is indeed a member of the most powerful of the three aristocratic clans.
He’s the abandoned son of the Williams family. His fiancée is Robin Lewis. Their union had been arranged since
before they were born. Robin Lewis is a direct descendant of the Lewis family, another aristocratic clan of
Atheville.”
“As expected of a descendant of an aristocratic family. His genes are so brilliant that he is where he is today, even
without the support of his family. Still, his achievements mean nothing in the face of the three aristocratic families
in Atheville. Say, if we were to announce that Zeke Williams is publicly breaking off his engagement with Robin
Lewis because the Lewis family isn’t good enough for him; would the Lewis family kick him out of Atheville?”
“I know what to do now, Master,” said John with a nod.
“Go. Get him out of Atheville as soon as possible. I’ll send the Williams family a greeting and tell them not to help
him.”
John left with a wicked smile on his face.
The Lewis family was one of the three aristocratic families of Atheville.
Their power was only second to that of Theodore Luna.
The four major households were scum compared to these aristocratic families.
Was Zeke Williams a worthy opponent of the aristocratic families just because he had managed to get rid of the
four major households?
Certainly not.
John released the news that very night.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAbandoned son of the Williams family publicly renounces engagement to Robin Lewis of the Lewis family, declaring
that the Lewis family is unworthy of him.
The news instantly caused an uproar across the city.
How arrogant could Zeke Williams be?
Did he think he was invincible after getting rid of the four major households?
Was he not aware that there would always be others who were better than him?
The four major households were nothing compared to the Lewis family.
Put aside the wealth of the Lewis family, just the fact that someone in the family held the rank of a general was
enough to drive Zeke into a corner.
Moreover, Robin Lewis was renowned as one of the four beauties of Atheville.
The fact that Zeke took the initiative to call off the engagement made him the butt of everyone’s jokes.
Meanwhile, at the Lewis household.
The Lewis family happened to be having a good time over lunch when they received the news.
An infuriated Robin slammed her cutlery on the table and got up.
“That abandoned son is nothing but trash, Dad. He’s not even worthy of holding my shoes. How dare he call off the
engagement? I’m... I’m going to make him pay for this insult.”
