Chapter 332: "Finish It!"
A few hours before the call.
Grandpa Yofan was chilling inside the house while occasionally thinking about Ainsley, who was still at the capital.
'Hmmm, she should be returning to the estate tomorrow, right? Ah, wait, she should have departed tomorrow, but it might take 2-3 days or even more to arrive at the mansion…'
The lonely grandpa let out a sigh as he looked at the empty house. There are only 6 elders and a few people inside the mansion because the others were either outside or were at other places.
'This place is so silent without Ain.'
Grandpa Yofan put down the teacup to the table and was about to stretch his body when the corner of his eyes caught a strange thing happening.
'Hm?'
The old man glanced down at the teacup. It was nighttime. The crystal lamp above the old man's head shone upon the brown tea water inside the cup, reflecting his wrinkly face.
But what Grandpa Yofan noticed wasn't his face reflected on the tea. Instead, it was how the tea shook slightly...as if trembling.
The old man unknowingly knitted his eyebrows.
Why is the tea shaking? Is there an earthquake somewhere? Or is the table isn't balanced enough–
Before Grandpa Yofan could think further, this time, the tea water wasn't the only one shaking.
The teacup itself also shook slightly! The tea inside began to splash around. Some spilt out, spattering the old man's hand.

"What?" Grandpa Yofan instantly stood up. He looked up and saw the chandelier swayed slightly, and it started to sway even faster.
An earthquake?
Grandpa Yofan hurriedly left his bedroom and had just about to find the others when one of the servants came running to his door.
"Supreme elder! Supreme elder! Emergency!" The servant was out of breath as he dropped to his knees right in front of Grandpa Yofan, blocking the old man's path.
Grandpa Yofan furrowed slightly, feeling a bit irritated by this servant's attitude, but before he could say anything, the servant already hugged the old man's leg and wept.
"Elder, help! W-we...we are under attack!"
BOOM!
At the same time, the ground shook. The mansion trembled, and the two people in the corridor almost lost their footing.
!
Grandpa Yofan's face instantly darkened.
"What's going on?! What do you mean we are under attack?!" The old man grabbed the servant's collar and yanked him up. Somehow, an ominous feeling crept into his heart…
"T-that, that, elder, y-you better go to the backyard! T-the others are already there!" The servant was close to crying.
While the two talked, the building shook once more, and the sound of something cracking echoed throughout the mansion.
Grandpa Yofan's face became even ashen. "Is that the sound of the barrier getting crushed?!"
The old man didn't say anything anymore and instantly used his teleportation skill, dragging the servant with him!
His body flickered, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished along with the male servant, leaving no trace behind.
SWISH.
The wind blew, the old man's figure suddenly appeared in the backyard, right in front of the crowd of people pointing at the sky.
Upon arrival, Grandpa Yofan instantly tossed the servant to the ground and immediately ran to the 6 elders gathering not far from his place.
When one traveled even further from the backyard, they would see a vast empty field behind the mansion.
It was one of the Sloan Family's inner territories, which was used to train their martial forces.
The 6 elders were currently standing at the border between the backyard and this vast field extending to the horizon.
Grandpa Yofan approached the 6 elders, who could only stay in the boundary due to their curses.
The old man's face was dark as he looked at the 6 elders.
"What's going on? Someone explains!" The old man raised his voice at the 6 elders, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
Without further ado, the 6 elders dropped to their knees and shouted in unison.
"Supreme elder!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Cut the formalities. Tell me what's going on? We are currently under attack? What the heck?!"
Grandpa Yoyo waved his hand impatiently as he threw his gaze over the vast empty field in front of his eyes.
The night was dark, and the full moon was still hidden behind the thick clouds. As far as he could see, he saw nothing but darkness.
What's going on, really? We...are under attack? How come I don't see anything? There's nothing in the sky either!
However, the 6 elders' answers crushed his hope.
"Supreme elder. We got a report that the outer territories are under attack, and the villages near our mansion are being bombarded with magic attacks from an army of beasts!"
One of the elders cupped his hand as he reported. Sweat trickled down his face, and his back went cold.
When Grandpa Yofan heard of the news, the temperature around him suddenly dropped by a few degrees.
"...what did you say?" The old man's voice grew deeper, sounding like a whisper from hell.
The 6 elders shuddered as they continued to kneel. One of them opened their mouth and spoke in a trembling voice,
"O-our territory i-is getting attacked. T-the 9 generals already go to the 9 other territories that we have left around the inner territories, a-and…"
The elder paused for a bit before continuing.
"W-we have sent the Ale branch family to deal with the army of aerial beasts attacking the main village near the mansion, b-but, t-the report said that...that…"
That? That what? Fck! Finish it!
