Melvin sneered."Haha. You're really overestimating your family! I'm already at theOverlord State. If I want to leave, no one in your family can stop me! Also, the old man's strength has already been crippled. If your family supports him, aren't you just killing yourselves?!" Harold started to laugh."What?""Your strength has been crippled?""Are you serious?"Melvin and the elders were shocked. They looked right at Elder Young."Yes, it's true…"Elder Young sighed. He had a miserable expression on his face."How could this be…"Melvin and the others looked like they were struck by lightning.Harold and Daisy already controlled the Youngs and the Young Group. They practically controlled the fate of the family.With Elder Young already crippled, it would be a massive blow against the family if they went against Harold!Then, the family might actually end up being destroyed!"Mister Young, the Young Group is the lifeblood of the family! If you decide to make an enemy of me,
"That's right, if the family collapses, we can just make a comeback in the future!" Seeing Melvin fall silent, two of the elders and a few of the other Youngs spoke up.Not everyone was there for the money and profits when it came to a large family like the Youngs. Some of them were truly loyal to the family.The ones who were speaking up were the ones who were incredibly loyal. They would rather fight Harold and get revenge for the family and Elder Young!"Yes, you're right!" Melvin was deep in thought for a moment before he made his decision.He knew very well that, if he led the Youngs and fought against Harold, the family would probably crumble.However, he was still an Overlord State martial artist. They had a lot of loyal followers as well. They would have a chance to come back in the future!"Mister Young, don't be in such a hurry. Just listen to my offer first before you make your decision!" Harold calmly said, not showing any panic."Conditions?" Melvin asked curiousl
Harold would then easily be able to destroy the family after that!It was obvious which choice was the smarter one!"Brother, you can't accept it!" Some of the elders and followers started to get anxious when they saw that Melvin was being tempted.Elder Young and Gilbert were the first lines of direct descendants. They were the true line of Youngs. They would always support the Young bloodline!Even if Harold's conditions were very tempting, they would not give in!"Why can't I agree? This concerns the life or death of the family. Are we just going to watch as the family is destroyed?""That's right. Whether it's for the benefit of the family or to maintain the family's power, we can't just watch as the family is destroyed like this. Otherwise, how will we face the ancestors."The others either supported the second line or prioritized their benefits.Elder Young was already a cripple, and Gilbert and Iris were already kicked out of the family.Since Harold was willing to gi
However, Melvin and the others were still Iris's relatives in the end. If they managed to turn back, he would consider forgiving all of them for Iris's sake.Yet, Melvin and the others were not just refusing to admit to their faults, they even decided to help Harold against him again. Leon no longer had a reason to hold back against them!"Melvin, you were lied to by Harold and Daisy before this and made a mess of the family. Are you really going to keep on committing the same mistakes now that you know the truth?" Elder Young berated. His expression was extremely dark.Even though he already knew that Melvin and the others would not support a cripple like him, he still found it hard to accept after personally going through it!"Brother, I'm sorry. I'm just trying to protect the family. I have no other choice. Please don't blame me," Melvin sighed and said."You-" Elder Young trembled in anger, but he could do nothing about it."Very well! Mister Young, you definitely made the ri
It was obvious that he planned on doing the same thing, capturing Iris or Ruth again just like last time. As long as he was able to capture one of them to threaten Leon, Leon would have to let Jacob go!"Die!" Leon had a murderous look in his eyes.He turned around and launched an incredibly powerful strike at Harold. He planned on crippling Harold before anything else!"Preposterous! I want to see who would dare harm my granddaughter!" At that moment, an angry shout was heard. Over a dozen figures emerged. George appeared with the experts from the Collins!When he arrived, he saw Harold attacking Ruth and Iris. George was furiousHe was worried that Leon would not be able to stand up against Harold, so he did not even think about it as he charged forward with an incredibly powerful strike, targeting Harold's back.With Leon's attack in front, it effectively pincered Harold.Feeling George's impressive attack, Harold found himself incredibly worried.He knew that Leon was onl
He found out about Ruth being kidnapped by Jacob from Anson.He never expected Leon to be able to sneak in while just being a peak Supreme Master, saving Ruth and Iris under Harold's nose!It definitely surprised him a lot.However, that was a good thing. As long as Ruth was safe, he could help Leon against Harold without holding back!"Elder Collins, are the Collins going to help Leon this time?" Harold said coldly.He already expected the Collins to come help Leon. So, he was not surprised at their appearance at all."What do you think?Harold, we already said that we would protect Leon for three years. As the Northern King, you have no sense of honor at all! You didn't just attack Leon brazenly, you even had Jacob capture my granddaughter! I'll have to teach you a lesson today. You'll pay a price for your arrogance!" George said angrily. He had an incredibly cold glint in his eyes."Just with you and these few men? I don't think you're capable of that!" Harold sniffed, not tak
"Well, George, you never thought I'd have backup, did you? I've already allied with the Fields—otherwise, why would I dare to attack Leon and risk going against you—the Collins?" Harold cackled. "Harold, you crook!" George's heart sank as he took in a deep breath. He was in such a rush that he only managed to bring a dozen or so martial artists with him, but the Fields were different—they brought most, if not all, of their best fighters with them! Besides Walter, another one of the Fields' master martial artists, Denzel, who was also at the Overlord State, joined the battle, along with a few other warriors at the Semi Overlord State. With the Fields, Harold, and Melvin combining forces, the three of them could easily take down any of the major families in Springfield City! Even if George brought all of the Collins' best fighters along with him, they still would not be a match for Harold at all! There was no doubt who would be the winner in this battle! "Thank you, George!
"Leon, the others and I will help you fend them off, and you take Jacob hostage, then try to find a way to escape with Ruth and Iris," George instructed in a low voice. Not only were Leon and the Collins working hand in hand, but Leon even risked his life to sneak into the Youngs and rescue Ruth from Jacob! Therefore, there was no way George could stand by and watch idly when Leon fell into Harold and the Fields' hands! Fortunately, Leon managed to capture Jacob, God knows how! With Jacob as a hostage, and with George, who was already at the Intermediate Overlord state, leading the rest of the Collins' martial artists, they could fend off the opposition momentarily, and Leon would have a chance to escape with the two women! Once Leon got to safety, there would be plenty of time for him and the Collins to come up with a plan to take revenge! "There's no need to escape! Don't worry, Elder Collins, I'll take care of Harold and the Fields. You just have to help me with one thing
