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."
