Chapter 155 The 100-year-old Noble Families

The entire Gotham City shook this night, with numerous top forces being so panicky. The thousands of corpses at the Millers' house gate were still there, including 5 Gods of War-two at the peak stage and three at the last stage! If they were alive, no matter where they went, they were all top figures and God-of-War-level powerhouses. But their bodies were now lying there. The most powerful families in Gotham were all shaking.

After all, they knew that the Carter, Tenney, Carroll, and Ruskin families were over. Since their Gods of War had died, they had no chance to survive. Now, the four families wanted to escape, but they found that martial law was enforced on the entire Gotham City-all the freeways to the outside were blocked and all the flights were canceled!

Of course, this was done by Rendon. Carl had disappeared, but he had tried his best to save Gotham by hurrying back as fast as he could. Yet, those noble families had chosen to ruin themselves against heart, leaving him no choice but to walk away. Anyway, the Heaven Domain was not bound by the rules of the Dragon Kingdom. These noble families had provoked one who could easily kill an cultivator at Emperor later-level, and they would surely die.

Rendon's philosophy was somewhat different from Carl's. Rendon was a little more decisive in some respects. His ideas were dangerous. That was one of the reasons why Carl felt worried about letting him take control of the Military Headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom. He had asked Rendon a question, "How will you deal with those noble families if I let you take over the Military Headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom in the future?"

At that time, Rendon answered, "Those who obey my orders will be kindly treated, while those who don't will all be killed…" He spoke that with a smile, but Carl never took that as a joke! The reason was simple: He sensed a cold will to kill from Rendon!

In a deserted house on the outskirts of Gotham, Carl alone watched the smoke billowing in the distance, and mumbled, "Am I wrong? As the commander-in-chief of the Military Headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom, my biggest responsibility is to make peace in the country. It's just been a very short time since the Dragon Kingdom was founded. It is incomparable with those top powers with hundreds of years of history in the External Regions. So I want peace in the country, but… Forget it. Maybe Rendon is right. If the voices in the country are inconsistent, there will be great trouble…"

It was getting darker in Gotham city. At the Millers' house entrance, the 10 peak-stage Gods of War of the Heaven Domain were standing quietly with sabers, deterring all enemies.

At this time, the direct-line members of the Carter, Tenney, Carroll, and Ruskin families at their base camp were all afraid and frightened. They were crazily busy visiting people, hoping to save themselves. But this night in the entire Gotham City, all the most powerful families closed their gates, refusing to meet visitors.

Then the four families had no choice but to visit those few secluded noble families in Gotham with lavish gifts asking for help. These families had more than 100 years of history with several Super Gods guarded. The families they were visiting this time were the Patrick family and the Stewart family who got slightly involved in this situation.

But the two over 100-year-old noble families with Super Gods were now in a condition that was no better than theirs, which, however, they didn't know.

In an antique courtyard, Hayden Patrick, the owner of the Patrick family, was having a meeting with Charlie Stewart, the owner of the Stewart family. The two of them were giving off the air of Super Gods at their later stage. Yes, they were apparently powerhouses at the last stage of the Super-God level, but their faces looked so dark at the moment.

Hayden said quite gravely, "The plan targeting the Miller family failed. The 5 Gods of War we arranged were all killed! Two were at the peak stage of the God-of-War level, and the other three

were at the last stage of the God-of-War level! They were killed in less than 10 minutes! A fiasco!"

Charlie also nodded quite gravely and said, "Yes, but it's worse than that. The two Super God-level elders we two families sent out haven't sent back any news. Actually, many times, when you receive no news, it is news. Stop dreaming they'll return. They didn't send back news, and we can't reach them by all the means we can think of. Then it proves one thing…"

Hayden nodded and said, "Right, the two Super God-level elders probably have died. The enemies were very strong. They killed such strong elders in a few moments even before the elders could send out signals to ask for help. It proves that they are much more powerful than our elders. They were at least at the last stage of the Super-God level or even at the peak stage of this level."

Charlie nodded and asked, "That's right. The 10 peak-stage Gods of War who suddenly came out of the Millers' house wore the same mask, proving that they had a leader. This leader is at least a Super God, and they even had more leaders like that!"

Hayden was silent with a dark face. After a long time, he looked up at Charlie and said, "Brother Stewart, we'll have trouble soon. Unexpectedly, the first time we interfered with worldly affairs, we had such a hard blow…"

Charlie said with a nod, "Yes, but drop that at the moment. What should we do now? Do we have to mobilize people and attack the Millers' house again?"

Hayden shook his head and said, "No. We still don't know who our enemy is! And we've just estimated that the person is at least at the last stage of the Super-God level or even at the peak stage. Such a powerhouse is no weaker than us. Now the person has not shown himself, so how could we find out the details of him? I think we need to wait a while and also contact the Military Headquarters of the Dragon Kingdom, asking about their attitude."

Yet, after hearing Hayden's words, Charlie said with a bitter face, "It's useless. We've lost contact with Carl. Before I came to you, I contacted Rendon. The man's attitude was quite obvious. They had tried their best. And at that time, we also sent people to stop them, preventing them from coming back to save the Millers. We broke the rules, so they stop caring about this now."

Charlie paused and continued, "Now we can only wait. The 10 Gods of War are still at the Millers' house gate. I have a hunch that the person behind them is coming out. When the person comes out, then let's make a plan about what we'll do…"

Hayden nodded and said, "Yes, right. Now there are 9 top noble families in the Dragon Kingdom. Over the 200-300 years, we 9 noble families have been like brothers and sisters. Even the Military Headquarters has made rules with us that they can't force us to enter the mundane world to fight on the battlefield! And there is no exception for the mysterious force! If we can't work out a better plan, we both should visit the other 7 noble families and join hands with them."

Charlie said, "Well, this is our only choice. But it's so strange. When did such a powerful force appear in the Dragon Kingdom? Although we'd never interfered with worldly affairs until then, we should have received news about it. Who on earth is the person?"

Hayden shook his head and said, "No matter who the person is, the Dragon Kingdom will be in chaos soon. Gotham shall be in peace! This is the agreement reached by all parties. But because of the two of us and the mysterious force, Gotham is a river of blood this time. This has totally broken the rules. As for the rules, either you abide by them all the time or you break them time after time. Let's wait and see. Let's make a decision tomorrow…"

Charlie nodded and said, "Okay."

...

At the same moment (10 p.m.), the meeting hall of the Cliff family in Gotham was still bright with lights. Troy, the second master, had returned with serious wounds, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he faked a coma, going to rest and recover.

The hall was in dead silence. No one dared to utter a word because they were all astonished. They had believed that the Millers would be dead. But to their surprise, when the Millers were at the most desperate moment, 10 peak-stage Gods of War came out of nowhere. They were 10 whole peak- stage Gods of War! The truth was that one God of War alone could create a very powerful family that was no weaker than the Carter family in Gotham. But now, 10 Gods of War of that kind appeared in the Millers’ house at the same time?

Who was helping the Millers? Was it really the one in Cleveque? But it was said that the one in the city had just reached the God-of-War level, wasn't it? How could he have mobilized the 10 Gods of War? If it was not him, who else had such a close relationship with the Millers?

"Alas… everyone, our family probably has lost the last chance this time…" Neil Cliff, who was on the seat of honor with quite mixed feelings, sighed. Then he got up, waved his hand, and walked out. He didn't have proof, but he could feel that the 10 Gods of War in the Miller family house had so much to do with Iwan.

At 1 a.m., the Millers' meeting hall was also bright with lights. They were also in dead silence, but they could not remain calm anymore.

After all, all of them had believed that they would all perish last night, but things changed at their desperate moment. Now, the great hall of the family was filled with a very strong smell of blood. Then they had to believe that what had happened earlier was true. Someone had saved their family, but it was not as simple as that. Now, the 10 peak-stage Gods of War were still standing at their house entrance like guards!

"Who is really the person?" The Millers were quite confused and moved! At 6 p.m. of the night before, when they were about to fight until the last, Sally, Moira, Bevis, Jarman, and Oscar were all astonished and quite touched because the 10 Gods of War suddenly rose up into the air and came out.

"We're ordered to guard the Miller family! Charge! ..." At this moment, all the Millers thought of the most hopeless moment they had had earlier. The ice-cold roar of Warrior No. 11 was the most melodious voice they had heard in their lives.

...

The Millers could not sleep tonight, and neither could the most powerful families in Gotham. The 10 soldiers of the Heaven Domain at the peak stage of the God-of-War level were still at the Millers' house gate.

Time passed slowly in such an atmosphere. The darkness over Gotham gradually disappeared, and the morning sun climbed out of the horizon.

It was dawn.
