Chapter 214 However, when he walked into the main hall, he couldn't help but frown when he smelled the smell of blood everywhere. Seeing the old man, Greyson said, “Elder Dawson is here.” Keith glanced at Greyson and then at the high-spirited Noam sitting next to him. But he didn't see Brandon's fraction and other people in the hall. He seemed to have guessed something, and his face changed as he looked at Leonard sitting there. “Mr. Santos, you are powerful. | didn't expect that even Brandon couldn't defeat you.” Leonard looked indifferent. He didn't get up and said, “Elder Dawson, | heard that both you and Elder Perez were highly respected in the Galen Group. Now that Elder Perez's faction has been wiped out, | think you know what to do.
Hearing Leonard's words, Keith understood what he meant. Leonard would give him a chance to surrender. In fact, since Brandon was defeated, it was impossible for Keith to defeat Leonard. But Keith sneered and shook his head. “Leonard, you are very strong indeed, and | am not as good as you. Now I officially announce that | will lead my subordinates to withdraw from the Galen Group, and I will have nothing to do with the Galen Group from now on.” Keith knew that after Leonard became the lord, he would have to be obedient to him in the future, so he was unwilling to stay here. After Keith finished speaking, several hall leaders and regional leaders stood up in the crowd and were about to leave with Keith. “Wait a minute. Do | let you go?” Leonard suddenly said coldly, “You are from the Galen Group, and these leaders are also trained by the Galen Group.
How can you take them away casually?” Keith suddenly showed an angry look and snorted coldly, “Leonard, don't go too far. I've already given in. What else do you want?” Noam hurriedly whispered, "Mr. Santos, itis better to let him go. Keith is no weaker than Brandon. Most importantly, he has the support of the Walton Manor. The Walton Manor is the top family in Imperial City and has terrifying power. Besides, the Walton family has a relationship with the Miltary Department.” Keith was arrogant bin and said with a sneer, "Mr. Santos, now you know my confidence, right? Let me take my people away, and from now on, we have nothing to do with each other. Isn't it good for you? Why do you find trouble for yourself? The hall leaders and two regional leaders. standing behind Keith smiled. If they stayed in the Galen Group, they might be suppressed and punished, so ft was in their best interests to follow Keith. “The ‘Walton family in Imperial City?" Leonard had a gloomy face. Keith laughed and said, “Mr. Santos, F'm leaving. We will meet again." While speaking, Keith tumed around. Leonard shook his head and said in a cold voice, “You colluded with outsiders and betrayed the Galen Group. You should be sentenced to
Chapter 3091 Seriously? You Don’t Know? REE Luke reminded him, "This is the latest version of infrared alarms. It detects the body temperature of intruders. The intruder will be verified as a human before it'll trigger the alarm and alert the authorities." Stan's expression changed when he heard Luke mention calling the police.
He said, "Sir, it might just be a false alarm. Let me check on it. It's late at night. If it's a false alarm, itwon't only disturb the police but also cause unnecessary trouble." Luke grabbed Stan's collar.
Stan was not tall, and Luke just needed to slightly lift his hand to grab the collar of Stan's pajamas.
‘death according to the rules!” The next second, Leonard's body instantly left the chair. He gathered his vital energy and siapped Keith with a palm. As the strong wind roared, the air exploded, and the terrifying energy instantly enveloped Keith. “Boom!” Keith was hit in the head. With a crack, Keith's skull was shattered. With blood on his body, he fell straight to the ground. As Leonard frowned, he looked at the blood splattered on his body with endless Killing intent in his eyes. He thought, “Keith colluded with the Walton family in Imperial City, and he dared to speak out in public. Besides, he even wanted to take his people away. How could | let him go?" Let alone the Walton family, even if Keith colluded with someone from the Military Department, Leonard would also make such a decision He once said, ‘In the Galen Group, those who submit will prosper, but those who resist shall perish.” At this moment, the hall fell into silence. The hall leaders and regional leaders who wanted to leave with Keith were all frightened. No one expected that Leonard didn't take the Walton family seriously at all Leonard was so lawless and arrogant. “You guys followed Keith and betrayed the Galen Group. How dare you? Arrest them.” After Leonard finished speaking, someone from the crowd immediately jumped out. Noam and Greyson took action personally. Greyson worked very hard to show his loyalty in front of Leonard. Soon, those people's hands and feet were tied, and they stood in a row. Leonard was about to announce how to deal with them, but suddenly. a cell phone rang, and the sound came from Keith's body. Rex went over, took out the phone from Keith's body, and handed it to Leonard The person who called Keith was Pollard. Pollard was the head of the Walton family. Leonard pressed the answer button, and a gloating voice came from the other end of the phone. “How is it, Elder Dawson? Is the Galen Group a mess? Let Eider Perez fight Leonard first, and then you can take the ‘opportunity to take over the position of the lord. | will send some people from the Walton family to assist you...” Hearing Pollard’s proud voice, Leonard had a gloomy face, and he roared into the phone, Pollard, how dare you interfere in the affairs of the Galen Group? Now | announce that from now on, the Galen Group officially declares war on the Walton family. Within three months, | will wipe out the Walton family and kill you
i've already called the police," said Luke.
The look on Stan’s face changed. He looked down at his phone, trying to figure out how to discreetly notify the people outside.
Luke's next words, however, made him panic a bit. "Give me your phone." "Mr. Crawford?" Stan let out a cold shiver and looked at him in astonishment.
11d like to check your phone's alarm system," replied Luke. At that moment, Stan had not turned off the alarm yet. The phone was still emitting a loud beeping sound.
Stan’s hand trembled slightly as he handed the phone to Luke.
Luke picked up his phone and turned
off the alarm.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe beeping sound instantly disappeared, but the noises outside the yard continued.
Luke asked, "Stan, do you know how to fight?" Stan was puzzled. Why was Luke asking him something like this? He shook his head and answered, "1 don't, Mr. Crawford. When I was hired as the butler, it was never mentioned that I needed to know these things..." "Seriously? You don't?" Luke's eyes narrowed. "There might be thieves out there now. If you don't know how to defend yourself, how will you deal with them?" Stan shivered again. "Deal with them?
I don't know... Haven't we already called the police? The police near the attraction area are just nearby. They should be coming soon." "Yes, the police are on their way," sneered Luke as he pushed Stan into the butler's quarters.
Stan did not understand what he meant. "Mr. Crawford?" you don’t know how to fight. If those thieves come in and hurt you, it won't be good. Stay in here," instructed Luke before closing the door.
He did not care whether Stan understood or not. Luke only needed to keep Stan locked inside to reduce the number of people he had to deal with.
Luke planned to block the door of the
quarters with something. Before he could find anything, Stan opened the door again and said, "Mr. Crawford, 1 can't let you risk it alone." A shadow of gloom flashed across Luke's eyes. If Stan could obediently stay in the room, he would not have said anything. He did not need someone who would cause trouble now.
However, since Stan insisted on coming out and standing with him...
Luke's eyes turned cold. When Stan stepped out of the quarters' door once again, Luke immediately struck him with a chop to the neck.
Stan felt a sharp pain in his neck, and everything went black before him.
Luke quickly helped him up and then let him sit down while leaning against the wall. = Stan was knocked out cold now. He would not be waking up anytime soon.
Luke casually made his way to the door. He took out a set of keys to unlock the main door of the old mansion.
Gale and the others were outside.
Meanwhile, in the garden, the intruders were startled by the blaring alarm.
"Damn it, isn't the alarm supposed to be off? What's going on now?" cursed one of the men with Caucasian facial features.
"I have no idea. Forget it. Let's just
finish the task the boss gave us or we'll be in trouble," said another Caucasian- faced man, who was none other than Jacob. He was the one who consulted with Luca earlier that day.
"Let's head to the parking lot." Harold Lint, the other man, thought Stan should be able to handle it. Hence, the two hurried toward the mansion's parking lot.
When they arrived at the parking lot, they found two cars parked there.
There was an expensive car and a cheap one.
Jacob said to his companion, "That expensive one must be the one they drove today. Search the car and check if there are any medicinal herbs inside."
"Got it," replied the other man. He picked up a crowbar and skillfully tried to open the car's trunk. = However, the car was of excellent quality. It took him quite a while before he managed to open it.
“Can you handle it or not?” Jacob kept an eye on their surroundings vigilantly.
The alarm continued to blare, but no one came out. Were they all dead asleep? He could not help but wonder.
If they had not been drugged, they would not be sleeping so soundly...
"If I can't do it, can you?" Harold could not help but mutter while exerting force in his hand. With a click, the trunk finally popped open.
"Man, this car is built like a tank. | worked my butt off for this," complained Harold. - Jacob flicked on the flashlight and peered into the trunk, but there was nothing there.
"Nothing here... Boss must have misunderstood..." Harold wondered.
"Boss wouldn’t have misunderstood.
Luca doesn't look like an honest person. She must have hidden the herbs somewhere else. Go ahead and pry open the car doors," instructed Jacob.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Why am I the one doing everything?" Harold could not help but mutter.
"you're the expert at this, aren't you? Before you joined us, this was how you
made a living." Jacob rolled his eyes.
The alarm had been blaring for so long without anyone coming out, so he felt at ease.
He guessed Stan did not trust them and drugged everyone inside the house, knocking them out. That explained why nobody had shown up.
Jacob became more reckless at the thought of everyone inside the house being unconscious.
Harold rolled his eyes too. He then forcefully struck the car window several times with the crowbar. This time, cracks appeared on the sturdy glass.
Jacob could not help but frown. "You're just wasting resources." "This is the simplest way. It's not even
your car, so why are you so worried?" Harold rolled his eyes. There was another forceful blow, followed by.a—— loud crash. The car window shattered.
Harold opened the car door and shot Jacob a provocative look. "Were you thinking of ways to unlock the car doors? These cars are equipped with the latest lock technology. The traditional way of unlocking won't work easily." Jacob ignored him and got into the car.
Apart from glass shards, he did not see anything else inside. "Damn, why is it so clean?" He pushed open the other door and said, "Check everything. Boss couldn't have been wrong." 11/18
When Harold heard this, he also got into the car and checked. He indeed found nothing. They checked thoroughly but there was still nothing.
"There’s really nothing," said Harold.
"Damn it. Did they hide the herbs?" Jacob suspiciously looked toward the dark house in the distance.
However, he instantly remembered what Stan had told him.
stan mentioned that since Luke and the others returned, no one had come out. Moreover, there were only three people in the old mansion. Hence, it was clear that nobody had touched anything in the cars.
There really was nothing here, and it
was their boss who had made a miscalculation.
"There's nothing here. Why don’t we go back?" suggested Harold, who was slightly at a loss for words. They were hoping that there might be something worthwhile, but it turned out there was nothing to be found.
