Chapter 565 Eve Of Battle
After a sharp scream came from inside Simon’s residence, the guards nearby, surprised by Mabel’s sudden departure, rushed into the house.
Immediately upon entering there, sensing that something wrong was happening, they saw four bodies on the floor, and that man on his knees in front of Aiken, weeping copiously.
He was in a lot of pain, but what was worse was the fact that his enemy had just destroyed his spirit gland.
Without this part of his being, he could no longer absorb the Natural Laws and spiritual energy, as well as being unable to use the powers of his soul.
Even though he had cultivated for centuries, he had now lost everything and would be no different than a 1st stage cultivator, unable to use spiritual energy outside his body.
The guards saw the situation there and opened their eyes wide, hardly able to believe what was in front of them.
Aiken practically stepped on his uncle’s body!
Not only that, Viktoria’s father had always been a peaceful, calm person. So to see him around so many bodies was surprising.
“Patriarch…” One of those men said after swallowing his saliva.
Aiken finally looked at those people, feeling that he had to move quickly to raise the defenses of the Frost estate.
“Keep up with me. The family is about to be attacked by enemies!” He shouted as he grabbed his weapon and left from there. 𝒃𝒆𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎
The guards followed him, ignoring those bodies and the crippled, crying man.
But they were still curious, and one of them asked. “What is going on, patriarch? Why were Simon and his family killed?”
“Simon was planning to rebel and start something that would make it easier for the forces right now in the vicinity of our headquarters to attack us.” Aiken was straight to the point. “Mabel and I found that out earlier, and that’s why we acted, killing those people and eliminating the infiltrators in the family.”
“Infiltrators?” More than one person asked.
“Yes, there were four infiltrators in the family minutes ago. But now one of them is crippled, one is dead, and Mabel must be killing the rest right now.” He said. “Anyway, forget about it. I want you guys to immediately alert the rest of the family to prepare for battle.
We have less than 20 minutes until the moment of confrontation!”
Gulp!
Those men accepted Aiken’s orders without further question, feeling their hearts beating stronger but also a little more respectful towards him.
Finally, this man had taken a more proactive attitude and was acting strongly to secure the future of this family!
They still wanted to know more about Simon and the others, but amid a threatened outside attack, they could not delay on account of people who were already dead!
…
In another part of the Frost estate…
Mabel had just killed the other two infiltrators on this estate. She was now standing before the elders who would join Simon after his escape.
They were gathered with the two dead men at Mabel’s feet, so they were pale with fear at the sight of this woman and those two bodies.
“Matriarch…” One of them muttered in a low voice, realizing that Mabel was fully aware of what they planned to do.
This woman narrowed her eyes but did not act against them. Her family was about to be attacked. She could not start an internal problem just at this moment!
She decided to give these people a chance to die defending this house!
“Simon is dead, and so are his son and wife.” She said. “All the infiltrators are eliminated, and Aiken is gathering our warriors to face a threat about to fall upon us.
You have only one option now, fight for your family and defend our headquarters!
We will solve any problems after this day is over!”
They received this information in different ways, some relieved, others resentful, because they didn’t believe in the family improving with Aiken and Mabel in power.
The Ritter Motor Company had given the family space, another chance for it not to decline any further and to breathe a little. But this did not change the fact that the family still had many enemies that could destroy them at any time.
To avoid this organization’s downfall, they thought supporting Simon was the way to go. Unfortunately, with his death, the risk that this house would meet its end had gone up a few notches!
But there was nothing they could do about it. Simon was dead, and there was no longer any chance of a rebellion happening inside this place.
In this case, in order not to perish at Mabel’s hands, those men accepted that they would have to fight on Aiken’s side once more.
With this decided, they set off at Mabel’s side to protect the headquarters of this family!
…
At the same time, in Lothur’s house…
Annaliese, the young pregnant woman, had just woken up after a member of the Koch family knocked on her door, bringing urgent news.
She was sleeping more heavily than ever, so she had not heard the calls in her communication formation.
That’s why she had a sleepy expression on her face as she woke up when the sun was still rising over the horizon.
“What’s up? Why are you here at this time of the morning?” She asked in a strange tone, her throat dry.
“Second Miss Frost, the family is about to be attacked. Everyone is moving to stop the invasion!” That person said, a little nervous after calling for Annaliese in front of that house for the last 20 minutes.
By this point, the battle was pretty much in the offing, following what they had heard from the Vogel family cars.
“What?” Annaliese went pale upon hearing that, feeling that she had to move to protect her family.
That person did not know about her pregnancy, and so he was there precisely to encourage her to join the battle.
Annaliese might be young, but everyone in Peters City already knew that she was as strong or stronger than her own father.
She could help a lot in the combat about to take place!
“The Frost family allies are already moving in, so the Miss can join one of those groups.” He said, eager to get going from there.
“Really? Has my family already been warned? Do you think we have a good chance of winning?” She changed her expression.
“Yes, we warned almost everyone hours ago. As for victory, we think the odds are on our side.”
“Hmm, that’s good to hear.” She relaxed. “I won’t join the start of the confrontation. Have someone notify me when the worst is over. I will visit my family after that.”
“What?” That man opened his mouth in surprise, unable to believe that someone so strong would omit herself just now. “But why?”
“I am out of condition to fight. I would only get in the way of the battle.” She said, running her hands over her belly as she returned inside the house to rest.
After that, that man stood there for a few moments before deciding to return to his position so as not to miss the battle about to take place.
The odds were really in favor of the Ritter Motor Company forces, so he wanted to fight for the chance to plunder the bodies of his enemies later!
