"Donovan, are you alright?"The elders were shocked to see Donovan getting injured. After that, they forced Rick back with one blow before they jumped out and hurriedly tried to help Donovan up."Haha…"At that moment, a loud laugh was heard.Charlie walked in right in with a prideful look on his face.Behind him were two men who were about fifty years of age!The two men had very sharp looks in their eyes and an impressive aura about them. It was obvious that they were quite strong!"Brat, what are you?" The elder's expressions sank when they saw Charlie.Earlier, they had seen that Donovan had been injured by one of the middle-aged men.Other than that, Charlie might be known amongst the younger generation as the heir of the Martells, but they were all of the older generations. They had never seen Charlie before, so they naturally did not know who he was."Let me introduce you, this is the heir of the Martells, Charlie!" Rick let out a sneer as he walked over."What? T
"Intermediate Emperor State!" The elders had a drastic change of expression when they felt the power coming from Anderson and Bill.They did not dare to hold back for a single moment as they started to fight the two of them.It was an intense battle, and they quickly found themselves going through over ten exchanges.Even though the five elders were quite strong, having already reached the Semi Emperor State, they were only good enough to stand against two Initial Emperor State Martial artists at most! Bill and Anderson were both already at the Intermediate Emperor State, and they were much stronger than the elders!The elders quickly found themselves on the losing end!They were quickly defeated by those two and lost their ability to fight back!Taking the chance, Rick quickly stepped forward and sealed their strength.Even though the five elders were not willing to support him, the elders would be very useful considering their power and influence. He was in no hurry to kill
"Nigel, you complete imbecile! Can't you do something as simple as capturing a woman?!" Charlie was furious when he heard that.His main goal for everything he did this time was to get Iris.Yet, his main target had slipped away even though everything else had gone so smoothly. It was obvious how furious he was!"Mister Martell, I'm so sorry. That wretch had some sort of strange technique. Even though I wasn't a match for her, and I was injured by her as well…" Nigel said before he explained everything."You…"Hearing that, Charlie was furious, but there was nothing he could do.After all, Nigel had already done his best. It was just that no one expected Iris to be able to defeat Nigel, who was a peak Supreme Master. It had put a huge wrench in their plans!Nigel could not be completely blamed for that."Mister Martell, don't be too angry! It's not like she can run that far away anyway! Iris has already been tricked here. As long as we topple the first line of descendants, it w
At that moment, Patrick, Damian, and Penny were all in the living room. That day was the day for the family's internal meetings, so Damian and Penny were not working.That was also the main reason why Rick had chosen that day. He wanted to completely eliminate the first line of direct descendants!Of course, Patrick and the others did not know that at all.At that moment, they heard some frantic footsteps. Iris's forehead was sweaty as she ran into the living room."This is great!" When she saw that Patrick and the others were fine, Iris let out a sigh of relief."Iris, why are you here?" Damian was very surprised. After that, Patrick and him walked over to greet her."Uncle, I was tricked by Nigel to come over today, and I was almost captured by him…"After Iris caught her breath, she hurriedly explained how she had been ambushed by Nigel."What? Why would Nigel attack you for no reason?" They were shocked to hear what Iris had to say."Well, Leon thinks that the second
"Rick, it's you! What are you trying to do? Are you really planning a coup?"Patrick's expression immediately sank when he saw Rick leading all those experts inside.He had initially been doubtful of Leon's speculation, feeling like there was no way Rick would try to seize power again for no reason. However, it seemed like Leon's guess was right. Rick really was rebelling!"Patrick, don't be so rude! I just think that you've been letting your age get to you, and you've been losing your touch. You're no longer suited to control the family! I think you should step down while you can and give way!" Rick sneered."You…""So you really are staging a coup!" Patrick was furious when he heard that.He finally understood that Rick was not aiming for Damian's position this time but to take his position as the head of the family!"So what if I am?!" Rick said calmly, not denying it."Despicable! If I'd known this would happen, I should have cut you off like Leon said! Otherwise, this wo
As if they saw Patrick's confusion, the five elders said with bitter looks on their faces, "Patrick, we were defeated by the experts from the Martells…" "What? So it's the doing of Charlie and the Martells!" Patrick was shocked. After that, he turned to look and finally noticed Charlie, who was not far away from Rick."Haha, that's right. It's me!" Charlie laughed as he walked out of the crowd."Charlie, what is the meaning of this?" Patrick said with a dark expression."What do you think? Old man, I've given you a chance to give me Iris before this, but you refused to agree! Since you didn't know your place, then I was just forced to help the second line of descendants instead!" Charlie said with a playful look on his face."You…""Charlie, based on the rules of the martial world, any force can't just interfere with the inner workings of another family so easily. You're violating the rules of our world by interfering with the Scammells right now. Aren't you afraid the Martells
Rick had a cold glint in his eyes as he looked at Patrick struggling so frantically.After that, he decided to take advantage of Patrick's lack of alertness as he charged forward with all his might, aiming at Patrick's back!He planned on ending the battle to prevent any surprises!"Shameless!" Patrick was shocked. He quickly turned and tried to avoid Rick's attack.However, he was still not at the level of Anderson in strength. Yet, Rick had joined the fray as well.He could defend his back, but he could not defend his front at the same time. He quickly found himself defenseless."Just stay down!" Taking the chance, Anderson struck forth with immense power, aiming right at Patrick's chest. With danger right in front of him, Patrick was forced to strike out quickly.Bang!After an intense clash, Anderson's strike, which contained all his true energy, immediately started to get through Patrick's defenses, slamming heavily on Patrick's chest.Patrick spat out three mouthfuls o
"Yes!" Damian was elated, not expecting things to be so easy at all.After that, he did not dare to delay things for a single second as he struck out at Charlie with all his might."Die!" At the same time, Bill, who was behind Charlie, quickly rushed in front of Charlie.After that, he let out an incredibly strong strike at Damian."Intermediate Emperor State!" Damian was shocked when he felt the true energy coming from Bill.He had thought that only Rick and Anderson were at the Emperor State.Yet, he never expected there to be anyone at that level right next to Charlie!It greatly exceeded his expectations and caused him to panic!After that, he did not even have the time to react before he got struck by Eugene's attack!Bang!With a painful clash, Damian's body was sent flying before he fell on the ground heavily.After that, he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and felt intense pain in his chest. His injuries were three times worse than Patrick's. He did not even have th
