"What are you thinking? I only met Crystal once."Sean glanced at Titus and said with a smile.However, Titus looked like he did not believe Sean.Sean did not bother explaining to him either.When Sean ignored him, Titus asked again, "Brother Lennon, how strong are Janestown's top eight families? I can't imagine a family being around for 300 years and still standing at the top of Janestown and even Dragon Kingdom!"Sean glanced at him and replied solemnly, "You'd better not mess with the top eight families. There's more to them than meets the eye."Sean said nothing else. Janestown's top eight families were far beyond Titus.The Lake family's second branch was already at the top of Ocean City's pecking order, but all of the Lake family's branches together would still be no match for the top eight families in Janestown."Okay, I'll keep that in mind."Titus nodded earnestly before asking with an odd expression, "Brother Lennon, what if the top eight families were to mess with
After saying that, the man ignored Sean and pounced at Titus with another dagger. The dagger gleamed icily as it went straight for Titus' throat.Looking at the dagger getting closer, Titus found himself having trouble breathing. Intense malice enveloped him, and he could not even react.Titus could only watch the dagger get closer to his throat, and despair soon appeared in his eyes."Do you have no regard for me?"Just then, a contemptuous voice suddenly rang at the side.As soon as the voice rang, the malice that enveloped Titus disappeared.A tall figure stood in front of Titus.Titus' eyes filled with gratitude when he looked at the tall figure before him.Admiration flickered in Titus' eyes."I'll grant you your wish since you want to die first!" The young man said with a grimace when he saw Sean standing in front of Titus.Sean shook his head and smiled, a hint of disdain in his eyes.The dagger aiming at Titus suddenly changed direction and headed straight for Sean
"Brother Lennon, be careful!" Titus said fearfully as he cowered to the side.Sean glanced at him and replied with a smile, "Look after yourself. I don't need you to worry about me."After saying that, Sean locked his icy gaze on the four people rushing to him."Kennedy or Blaze sent you?" Sean asked in a cold voice.The four men's expressions flickered, but they said nothing else.Each of the four men had a dagger. They glimmered icily in the dim light as they went straight to Sean.Facing four daggers thrusting at him from four different directions, Sean's face showed no sign of fear.He picked up an empty tray from a table nearby and swung it at the four.The four people had used the empty tray to serve wine, and Black Gold Bar had made the tray extremely heavy to show its classiness.The tray alone weighed more than five kilograms. Trays in other bars were only a layer of steel, and some were even plastic.Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!The sound of metal clanging rang inst
With Titus' strength, even picking up and swinging it once would feel difficult. However, Sean held it as if he was holding a piece of paper. He waved it easily and casually with no difficulty.Titus gulped, looking at Sean with shock and intense awe."The after-meal exercise is over, and so should this farce," Sean said suddenly.The four men's faces fell as fear appeared in their eyes.Sean's remark made them think of the possibility that Sean had waved the iron plate for so long and failed to hit them only to play with them.If that was the case, Sean was much more powerful than they thought.As if seeing through what was on their mind, Sean said with a smile, "I'm just messing with you and doing some after-meal exercise. Now that I'm done exercising, it's time to end the farce, right?"With that said, Sean did not give the men a chance to react and threw the steel tray at one of them.Thud!Crack!The steel tray hit the man with incredible precision, and a dull thud and t
"Hehe, Brother Lennon, don't look at me like that. I'm shy. I'm the heir to the Lake family's second branch after all. Isn't it normal that I know about the Winters family's affairs?" Titus said sheepishly as he scratched his head.Sean rolled his eyes and snapped, "If you can focus and study more about your family, Kennedy and Curtis won't be able to suppress the Lake family's second branch. How dare you say that when Kennedy and Curtis can bully the second and third branches like this?"Kennedy was in charge of the Lake family's first branch and was the head of the Lake family in Ocean City.However, in terms of abilities, the Lake family's first branch was slightly stronger than the Lake family's second and third branches at best.If the Lake family's second and third branches joined hands to resist Kennedy, he would not have been able to bully them."We can't help it! It's unknown what that old geezer, Kennedy, has done. The Lake family in Janestown only acknowledges him. He e
"Tell me where you're from and who sent you."Sean nonchalantly sat on the couch and said as he looked at the man.The man's body shuddered. Though his eyes filled with fear, he did not speak.Sean raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Good, I like tough guys who don't like to talk!"With that, Sean slowly picked up the steel tray at his feet and pulled a dagger out of it.The daggers were of good quality. Even though they were thrust into the steel tray, it did not appear to curl or blunt.Sean tossed the steel tray aside and played with the dagger in his hand.The word "Darkness" was engraved on the blade, indicating where these men were from."You're funny to engrave the organization's name on your weapons. Aren't you telling people that you're from Darkness? Or has Darkness evolved to the point where you don't need to be secretive?" Sean said with a smile as he looked at the man.Although Sean spoke with a smile, it looked demonic to the man, and it struck fear into
Titus jumped off the couch when he heard the man's statement.He looked at the man in disbelief and asked, "Are you sure that you were sent to kill me?" And was a member of the Lake family in Janestown who asked you to kill me?"The man nodded noncommittally."Who the f*ck have I offended? I can't believe the Lake family in Janestown sent someone to kill me. It pisses me off. Brother Lennon, when are you going to Janestown? I'll go with you! I want to see who's trying to kill me!" Titus fumed.He never had any contact with the Lake family in Janestown, and having Darkness hunt him for no apparent reason was something Titus could not accept.Sean glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Aren't you being silly? We had just fallen out with Kennedy, and Darkness came to Ocean City. It's mostly because of Kennedy. Who else besides Kennedy and Curtis would want to kill you? I don't suppose the Lake family in Janestown has enough free time to think about you."Titus also calmed down and
"The faction I'm in is the Battle Faction. I'm the leader of the 16th team, and these men are my subordinates. There are 20 teams like us in the Battle Faction. The Battle Faction is mainly responsible for completing missions the organization issued, but I don't know what other factions are responsible for."Sean nodded in reply.He could tell that the guy was not lying.Although the information he provided was simple and even rudimentary, Sean learned a lot of useful information.It was still unknown why Blaze created Darkness.However, Darkness had developed extremely fast over the years under Blaze's leadership. There were eight factions, and the Battle Faction alone already had 20 teams with five members each, which totaled up to 100 people. There were eight factions. Whether there were more or fewer people in other factions, Darkness would have more than 800 people if all eight were the same size as Battle Faction.That did not include any backup or replacement members Darkn
