At the Farrell estate, Zachary and the others were still drinking with Douglas, awaiting Harvey, Rachel, and Gary to come to pay their respects.According to Douglas' plan, all three families were to submit to the Farrell family, handing over two-thirds of their wealth. If they refused, their entire families would face annihilation. Such was their dominance and directness!Zachary silently calculated. If they managed to claim two-thirds of the three families' wealth, the Farrells would soar to new heights. Given time, they might even have a shot at entering Dalhurst."Sir!" Suddenly, the butler rushed in, flustered. "Someone has arrived!""Is it Harvey and the others?" Zachary asked with a smile.However, the butler replied, "It's not Harvey. It's a stranger who claims to have brought a grand gift!""Oh?" Zachary was intrigued.Could it be that word had spread so quickly about the Farrell family's rise, and someone was already eager to curry favor by presenting gifts?"Sir, the
Douglas' eyes glinted coldly. "To kill a warrior of the royal family and offend us? No one in this world can save them! Whoever it is, they must die! I want Goldspire turned upside down!"Zachary wiped his tears and asked, "Lord Douglas, what will you do? Will you contact the royal family and arrange for reinforcements? It seems there isn't time."That man said they would drop by in 30 minutes. If they could kill Mr. Porter, their strength must have been terrifying. We might not be able to face them!"Douglas replied coldly, "The power of the royal family is beyond the understanding of ordinary people. Prepare the car. We're going to the Mayor's Mansion!"15 minutes later, at the Mayor's Mansion, Caius greeted Douglas warmly.Caius spoke with a smile, "It's truly an honor for a royal prince to visit Goldspire. When did you arrive, Lord Douglas? Why didn't you inform us in advance so that we could give you a proper welcome?"Douglas replied, "Mr. Grayson, you're too kind. I didn't
"Mr. Snow! Something terrible has happened! The Goldspire military district has mobilized all its troops. 30,000 soldiers are heading straight for Beaker Island. It looks like they're targeting you!" Harvey stumbled in, his face pale with fear.Gary's hair stood on end. While Gideon was powerful, this was 30,000 soldiers they were talking about. Help from afar wouldn't arrive in time."Gideon, think of something quickly!" Rachel was starting to panic as well.Gary said, "Something's not right. How could the mayor possibly allow the military district's soldiers to surround Beaker Island? Doesn't he know Mr. Snow lives here?"Gideon chuckled. "This has nothing to do with the mayor. He doesn't have the power to go against the royal family. I suspect this is the royal prince's own act.""Should we retreat?""Why?" Gideon laughed lightly. "Since he wants to play, let's play with him. Beaker Island isn't as simple as you think. It used to be Dominic's base. He spent considerable effort
"Is Mr. Snow planning to fight? But those criminal underworld forces are nothing compared to fully armed soldiers.""If a battle breaks out, there will be countless casualties. Nobody can bear the consequences!""Mr. Stein is still in Drammore for studies, and we can't reach him. What should we do now?"A group of influential figures was at their wit's end.Caius said, "When the Cabinet Elder visited Goldspire previously, he left contact information. I called him and reported the situation."The group of leaders immediately asked, "How is it? What did he say?""There's no news yet.""This is so nerve-wracking! The battle is about to begin. Once it starts, it'll be too late!" The deputy governor was visibly uneasy.At that moment, the phone rang.Caius quickly put it on speakerphone. "Sir, please tell us how to proceed!"A cold voice came through the line, "This matter does not concern you. Let Douglas dig his own grave. The consequences are not your responsibility. However, y
"Zachary, you're all talk. If you've got the guts, come over here, and let's see if we won't beat you so hard that you'll be down on your knees!" Harvey and Gary shouted in unison.This infuriated Zachary. "How dare you spew such arrogant nonsense at this point? Don't you realize your ragtag bunch is no match for fully armed soldiers?"Here's my final ultimatum. Surrender now, kneel, and welcome Lord Douglas of the Chapman royal family, or all of you will vanish from Goldspire today!"Harvey sneered. "Zachary, if you've got what it takes, come start the fight and see if we're just a bunch of ragtag bunch!"Zachary turned around. "My lord, what do we do?"Douglas chuckled coldly. "They think we won't start a fight. What they don't understand is that, for the royal family, a few casualties mean nothing. If they're so stubborn, let's show them what we can do.""As you command!" Zachary felt both excited and nervous.He had never been in charge of such a large-scale battle before. T
"Dominic Zeller!" Lavinia's single word reverberated like thunder.Even Douglas couldn't help but feel a chill, as Dominic's name was well-known within the royal families. He was a world-class expert.Beaker Island turned out to be Dominic's territory? This was entirely unexpected.However, considering that so many prominent figures were watching, retreating now would be a devastating blow to the royal family's reputation.Would the Chapman royal family really back down just because of Dominic? They would become a laughingstock.If the news spread to the family, his fellow family members would likely beat him senseless for bringing disgrace to the family name.With that thought, Douglas declared, "Dominic Zeller. I've heard of him. But he's not enough to make the Chapman royal family afraid."Lavinia's expression darkened. "So, you're determined to go to war?""Dominic killed one of my family's elites. That's a debt that must be settled," Douglas replied, instinctively assuming
"Now, it's our turn!"Harvey laughed heartily. With the soldiers retreating, the Farrell family was left without support, making them easy prey.Even if they couldn't lay a hand on the royal prince, they could still beat the Farrell family members until they were crawling on the ground.Over 30,000 men charged forward.However, this time, they had set aside their equipment.The sight of the massive charge was an eye-opener for the observing elites and socialites, none of whom had ever witnessed such a spectacle of tens of thousands rushing into battle."Run for your lives!" Members of the Farrell family turned pale with fear, scattering in all directions.Zachary was carried away while Zane shouted, "Lord Douglas, hurry and leave! Don't just stand there. They're coming to kill us!"Douglas' face twitched.Leaving? Was that something he, a royal prince, was supposed to do?The momentum of tens of thousands was overwhelming.Harvey, leading the charge, yelled, "Capture the roy
Casse nodded. "Indeed, we must strike them down. If Gideon takes action, all the better. His influence is far beyond what the Chapman family can match. Crippling the Chapmans would also serve as a warning to the other royal families, keeping them in line."Everyone turned to Mose.He sighed. "Of course, I'd like to do this. But Gideon is incredibly intelligent. He'll know we're the ones pulling the strings. If he turns his anger on us, the consequences would be dire."The Cabinet Elders fell silent. This was indeed a serious concern."Sir, the head of Skynet is here.""Let him in."Before long, a lanky man wearing a mask walked into the conference room. His presence was mysterious.Skynet was the largest and most secretive intelligence agency in Dasovia, established by the government. Aside from the King of Dasovia, no one had ever seen the head of Skynet's true face."Saul, what brings you here?" Mose asked."Mose, you previously asked me to investigate Gideon and his parents
"Kill him!"The two words represented the highest decree of the Chapman royal family. In an instant, they began to mobilize.Although furious, they still had to adhere to regulations and could not act openly. However, like the Jaegers, they had cultivated a significant amount of power outside their direct sphere of influence.At Dalhurst, Thunderbolt forces assembled.The rallying horn sounded, and countless warriors descended.The leader, Hector Price, declared, "By the royal family's decree, all martial artists at the grandmaster level and above head to Goldspire and deal with Dominic Zeller!"In Mulstead, the Mullong Dragons were on the move as well.Although the leader couldn't issue a command today, their warriors scattered across the country also made their way toward Goldspire.In Silverkeep, the Night Phantoms—a feared assassination organization—also took action.It was said that their leader, Percy McClain, once assassinated a foreign president and escaped unscathed.
