Chapter 1591: The Suddenly Strong Lancer Family
For the Lancer Family who was already in danger, Jetson’s arrival was like a shot of a cardiac stimulant that raised their slumping morale to an unprecedented level. The Lancer Family’s members instantly became high-spirited and Kevithan’s status as the family master became indestructible with Jetson’s extraordinary skills.
Prior to this, Lecroft had tried every means to pull Kevithan off the position, but now he was eager for Kevithan to continue being the Lancer Family’s family master! In the face of absolute strength, personal gains and losses had become less important. As long as the entire family flourished, then he could still bl.u.s.ter in front of outsiders even if he was only an elder in the family. It wouldn’t be worse than being the previous Lancer Family’s family master, it would only be stronger. This was the benefit of the family’s backer!
It was difficult for the Lancer Family to not rise as long as they had Jetson from “Central” as a backer. Hmph, it’s only an a.s.sa.s.sin family, so what? They actually dare to provoke “Central”. There is no need for many people, one Jetson can destroy your entire family!
At this moment, Thomas really gave up his status as the family master willingly. Before this, he even fantasized that he could subst.i.tute Kevithan after his screw-ups and restore his status as the family master! However, it was no longer needed now because the Lancer Family could only achieve unprecedented glory under Kevithan’s leaders.h.i.+p!
Anyone else who became the family master would not have Kevithan’s advantage! This was because Jetson only helped this time because of his personal relations.h.i.+p with Kevithan, not for the Lancer Family. Therefore, if they wanted to maintain a relations.h.i.+p with Jetson or even “Central”, Kevithan must step in. The position as the family master belonged to Kevithan.
That night, Kevithan had made a high-profile statement, “The b.u.t.terfly Family and the Buffon Family are too much of a bully, but the Lancer Family is definitely not easily bullied! Don’t think you are so powerful. In the eyes of the Lancer Family, you are actually nothing! You still want Goode’s life? That’s a big joke!
“Now I will give you a means of atonement. The daughter of b.u.t.terfly Family’s Family Master w.a.n.g Songshan will still have to marry Goode. w.a.n.g Songshan will also personally organize a banquet in front of the celebrities of the European upper-cla.s.s society and make amends to the Lancer Family. Then, I will spare him in this matter.
“Buffon Family, this is our enmity with the b.u.t.terfly Family. Why are you involved in it? Well, since you want to partic.i.p.ate, you will also have to pay a price! As long as you restore the Lancer Family’s qualifications as firearms sellers, increase the supply, and give fifty percent of the profits to us, we will not blame you; we will still be partners!”
Arrogance! This was simply lawless arrogance! The Lancer Family’s tough stance caused all the big families in the upper-cla.s.s society to have an inexplicable feeling. Is the Lancer Family crazy?
Is this still the good-for-nothing family that was without any aid a few days ago? How did they suddenly become so strong? They actually dare to oppose two big families at once, and one of them is even an a.s.sa.s.sin family known for their mystery and horror! The other family is the Buffon Family, the top family in upper-cla.s.s society. How could they easily offend the Buffon Family? Do they want to launch a world war?
The Lancer Family’s arrogance was even more unbridled. Previously, the former partners of the Lancer Family had drawn a clear line with them after the Lancer Family’s incident. At this time, they were counted by the Lancer Family!
Teams of black-s.h.i.+rted men rushed out of the Lancer Family and rushed to the companies and shops of the “ungrateful” partners. Without saying a word, they started to beat and thrash them!
In fact, how were these families the Lancer Family’s opponents? These black-s.h.i.+rted men were obviously the Lancer Family’s hidden trump card. These private defenders that were secretly groomed through all these years were all extraordinary. Those who refused to cooperate with the Lancer Family cried and wept under pressure, but they had no other way!
The fist is the final word. They were previously under the coercion of the Buffon Family to cut their contact with the Lancer Family. They did not dare to help the Lancer Family when they asked for help, but they could not afford to offend the Lancer Family either!
The Lancer Family’s madness made it unbearable for them. Now the Lancer Family is obviously demonstrating their power. Didn’t you betray me? Then you will be punished fittingly!
Kevithan sat in the Lancer Family’s conference room with great spirits, commanding the secret power of the family, and issuing a series of orders. He felt like a general on the battlefield, and it was very fulfilling!
This family’s secret power had not been used at all since it was trained, as it was intended to only be used when the family encountered a major crisis. This was the family’s only hidden trump card, their strongest hidden power. If it wasn’t necessary, the Lancer Family would never reveal this power!
This was a force that Thomas, his uncles, and his father had not used. However, there was no longer any need to hide it because the Lancer Family had a strong backer now. This private defense team was not worth mentioning in front of the powerful Jetson, so Kevithan could send this secret force out. Also, there were no objections within the family. They all knew Jetson’s power. So, why would they care about these trivial matters?
Kevithan felt very proud at the thought of being the first family master to use the secret force. Hmph, this is just a little lesson for those of you who turned your back on us, so that you can be more alert and recognize who you really can’t afford to offend!
The sudden strength of the Lancer Family made everyone more and more puzzled. Not only were they strong, but they also taught these previously timid partners a lesson. Did the Lancer Family become crazy? Or do they know that they are not far from the end, so they decided to fight back?
Therefore, many people were watching the situation develop. They did not help and boost the Lancer Family’s morale, nor did they help the Buffon Family and b.u.t.terfly Family to beat up the Lancer Family. They maintained a neutral att.i.tude. However, most people were already certain that this Lancer Family was just having their last rampage. They would still be finished after this rampage.
But even if it was the last rampage, these people dared not provoke the Lancer Family. Would you stoop down to a crazy dog’s level? This guy is clearly attacking whoever he sees. Who would want to stand out when the Lancer Family is being crazy at the moment?
However, there were also some people that began to intentionally or unintentionally side with the Lancer Family. Even if they had not publicly sided with the Lancer Family, they had begun to secretly give support! They thought that the Lancer Family was not stupid. It was possible to think that the previous Family Master Thomas had been blindly resisting until the end, but the newly appointed Family Master Kevithan had not been in office for a few days. He went against the Buffon Family and b.u.t.terfly Family, wasn’t this strange?
Since the Lancer Family dared to do this, they must have some backing. Maybe they had found a stronger backer, just like how the b.u.t.terfly Family had relied on the Buffon Family! Otherwise, the Lancer Family would not perform such actions unless the entire family had lost their minds!
However, whether they believed it or not, almost everyone knew that something big was about to happen! Because no matter whether the Lancer Family had found a strong backer or not, a crisis would eventually strike this peaceful upper-cla.s.s society!
This crisis couldn’t be stopped. All the big families involved were above the local laws. Even the local small country where they were located had been established with their support. So, those few small countries might also partic.i.p.ate if there really was a battle, and it would become chaotic warfare.
Naturally, The b.u.t.terfly Family had also received this news. Hearing the arrogant words from the Lancer Family, w.a.n.g Songshan was so angry that he slammed the coffee table, but this slam was much less powerful than Jetson’s. The coffee table didn’t smash, it just shook slightly.
“Has the Lancer Family lost their mind?” w.a.n.g Songshan said resentfully. He waved his hand after looking at the messenger in front of him, “You can go first.”
“Yes, Family Master.” How could the b.u.t.terfly Family’s disciples dare to provoke w.a.n.g Songshan at this moment? He quickly retreated after pa.s.sing on the message.
Chapter 1592: Knocking on the Door
“It seems that I have to go to the Lancer Family in person. Originally, I wanted to give them a few days of buffer. I didn’t expect that there would be no movement in these days; the Lancer Family is greedy!” w.a.n.g Songshan told Yang Ming, Old Buffon, and others about the message he had just heard.
“Slow down!” Yang Ming waved his hand to stop w.a.n.g Songshan, “There’s something unusual about this. It’s a little strange!”
Old Buffon also nodded. This guy was a sly old man. “Master, I also think that there’s something strange about these matters. This Lancer Family has become extremely daring; they dare to challenge both our families? Aren’t they afraid that we will unite and seek revenge?”
After hearing Yang Ming and Old Buffon’s words, w.a.n.g Songshan’s initial anger suddenly calmed down. He frowned, and said with confidence, “Yes, the Lancer Family is only in conflict with our b.u.t.terfly Family. the contradiction with the Buffon Family is only derived from the contradiction between us. As long as the contradiction between us is resolved, the contradiction with the Buffon Family will also naturally be resolved. So, it’s a bit unimaginable for them to attack both families at once. Why would the Lancer Family do this?”
“Could they be bluffing?” w.a.n.g Ruoshui suddenly asked. “Now, the Lancer Family is obviously at a disadvantage, and there is no room for them to maneuver. It is easier to take Goode’s life. But the Buffon Family has destroyed the Lancer Family’s only income stream, and the Lancer Family has no way to live. Could they be having one last rampage and pretending to be very confident to make us take the initiative to give in?”
“That is possible!” w.a.n.g Songshan nodded after hearing w.a.n.g Ruoshui’s words. “Ruoshui’s explanation is reasonable and quite suitable for the current situation.”
“Old Buffon, is there any news from your side?” Yang Ming was also puzzled by the Lancer Family; he could not figure out the other party’s true intentions.
“Preliminary investigations have shown that the Lancer Family did not have any agreements or exchanges with any other large family during this time. I’m not sure whether they have actually found a backer, but at present, it seems that there is no evidence to prove it.” Old Buffon said, “Our Buffon Family Intelligence Department needs to continue our investigation to get further news.”
“That being the case, I think that the Lancer Family is most probably trying to have one last rampage. To succeed or to die trying; there is nothing to be feared about them!” w.a.n.g Songshan said, “I wanted to let them go, but now it seems that I should personally go and cause them trouble! Save the excuses!”
“Uncle w.a.n.g, I think it’s better to wait for a while.” Yang Ming stopped and said, “I still feel that there is something unusual about this matter. It’s fine if Thomas is the family master. After all, Goode is his grandson, so he is unwilling to surrender Goode to us. It is possible for him to have one last rampage. But the key problem is that the current family master is Kevithan, not Thomas! He just took office. He who has not enjoyed any substantial benefits as the family master has decided to resist us just for Thomas’ grandson. Isn’t there a problem here?”
“Yang Ming, although your words make sense, they might not be correct. I think you are still too careful!” w.a.n.g Songshan waved his hand unconsciously.
“There’s nothing wrong with being too careful!” Yang Ming said, “It’s better to be safe than sorry.”
“You don’t seem to have a young man’s character?” w.a.n.g Songshan disagreed, “I have decided. I’ll leave in a while and go to the Lancer Family. I’ll meet with them and see what they are trying to do!”
“This-” Yang Ming was in a dilemma. He glanced at w.a.n.g Xiaoyan, “Yanyan, what do you think?”
“I naturally think you’re right, but my father has made up his mind. I’m afraid that it can’t be changed so easily.” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan smiled wryly. It seemed that she knew w.a.n.g Songshan’s character very well.
After listening to w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s words, Yang Ming knew that w.a.n.g Songshan had made his decision and that it would be useless to persuade him. He sighed and said, “Well, in this case, you should be careful, Uncle w.a.n.g. Come back immediately if there is something wrong when you’re there. We will discuss it from a long-term perspective. Don’t rush it.”
“I naturally know this.” w.a.n.g Songshan laughed and said, “Do you think that I’m reckless? You must know, that I was no less than your top-ranked a.s.sa.s.sin Master when I was young. I have done countless missions myself. They were far more dangerous than the Lancer Family! If I really find out who the Lancer Family is relying on, I will rush back to pa.s.s the message. How can I be rash?”
Yang Ming heard w.a.n.g Songshan’s words and suddenly remembered that w.a.n.g Songshan was also a super-a.s.sa.s.sin! It was only because of his current ident.i.ty that made Yang Ming subconsciously ignore this point. Now thinking about it carefully, it was impossible for w.a.n.g Songshan to have any accidents considering his skill as an a.s.sa.s.sin. Even if he couldn’t take action, he could retreat without any problems.
Thinking of this, Yang Ming said, “Well then, I won’t say much. Uncle w.a.n.g, keep in touch with the family at all times.”
“No problem. If I need help, I will naturally speak to you.” w.a.n.g Songshan said, “This time, I will go by myself without the family disciples. It is more convenient to go alone. If I really notice something unusual, I can also guarantee that I can get out quickly.”
Yang Ming wouldn’t say anything more since this was the case. However, he always had the feeling that there was something wrong, but his terrifying sixth sense could only forewarn about the dangers that he encountered. The sixth sense wasn’t as good at detecting dangers encountered by others. Yang Ming couldn’t find a way to control this ability, so he could only give up helplessly.
However, thinking about it, w.a.n.g Songshan’s skill should be no less than Yang Ming’s. Even if he was not a match for the Lancer Family, it would not be a big problem for him to retreat. So, Yang Ming became at ease.
After dinner, w.a.n.g Songshan left the b.u.t.terfly Family. Fang Tian felt a little uneasy about his old friend and planned to accompany him. However, w.a.n.g Songshan tried to stop him because he and w.a.n.g Ruoshui were newly married. How could they separate so soon?
As a result, both Fang Tian and w.a.n.g Ruoshui blushed at the same time, but they did not refute. Although they did not have a big wedding or anything similar, both sides acknowledged each other. They were not the type of people to undergo the so-called ritual things!
Their disciple and niece were going to get married. If the two old people held a wedding together, it would be embarra.s.sing. How could they get married together with their juniors?
It was naturally impossible for Yang Ming and w.a.n.g Xiaoyan to accompany w.a.n.g Songshan. After all, Old Buffon and Miss Buffon were still here. They had both come for Yang Ming and w.a.n.g Xiaoyan. It would not be courteous if Yang Ming and w.a.n.g Xiaoyan left at this moment. As for the other family disciples, it was better not to bring them along; they simply increased the burden.
It was unnecessary for a disciple to follow if w.a.n.g Songshan could successfully severe Goode’s head. If w.a.n.g Songshan discovered that the Lancer Family had another strong backer, then it would be easy for the disciple to expose himself if he followed. If w.a.n.g Songshan wanted to retreat, he had to find ways to protect the disciple; it would be even more troublesome.
“I always have a bad feeling, but I can’t clearly say it yet…” Looking at w.a.n.g Songshan’s shadow, Yang Ming sighed deeply, “Although I know that Uncle w.a.n.g’s skill is good and nothing will happen, the Lancer Family’s reaction is really strange.”
“Don’t worry about it…” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan held Yang Ming’s hand in comfort, “Dad was also the number one a.s.sa.s.sin in the family before; nothing will happen.”
“I hope so. Otherwise, regardless of whether the Lancer Family has a strong helper or not, they must die.” Yang Ming plainly said, but there was an unquestionable power in his tone.
