"What did you say?"
Leonardo was trembling as he spoke, fearing Betty's gaze.
He didn't expect that the Allen family's wrath would be reduced to rubble before it had even started.
Who exactly were these people?
"Disappear, I'll make you all disappear!" Betty yelled.
Betty took out her phone and made a video call to Chuck.
Betty turned the phone over to the family members. Everyone was horrified because they saw the face of a young man on the screen. He was emotionless and indifferent.
"Young Master, everyone from the Allen family is here," Betty said.
"Alright, thank you for your work."
Chuck remained indifferent. He turned his gaze to Leonardo and said, "Leonardo, I've told you before the Allen family will disappear. Why didn't you believe me?"
He chuckled. Yes, Chuck was getting a tad excited now!
These words fell on the ears of everyone in the Allen family like thunder. Fear, oppression, and disbelief spread quickly within their hearts!
Everyone knew what was happening but this was the Allen family after all!
How could they possibly be so vulnerable at this time!
Everyone's life was in the hands of this man named Chuck Cannon.
Leonardo was shocked and stunned. It had just been less than four hours, hadn't it? Dawn had not arrived yet. Chuck could do what he wanted.
"Y-Young Master Cannon... I was wrong. We were all wrong. Please give us a second chance," Leonardo trembled as he spoke.
Chuck, whom he saw on the screen, made him feel as if he was facing God.
"No, no, no. Why should I give you a chance?" Chuck smiled. This was their own doing!
"Young Master Cannon, it was all Landon's fault. Everyone else here is innocent. I beg of you, let our family go. I'll kneel before you!" A few of the family followed suit and knelt on the floor at once.
The tension in the room was unbearable.
"I'm kneeling too. I don't wanna die. Please..." the beautiful lady who was arrogant moments before cried. She was terrified. No one had ever made her so scared in her life.
Chuck wasn't even in front of her, but he horrified her anyway,
One after another, the members of the Allen family got on their knees. Leonardo's body quivered and his face looked as though he had aged another ten years. What was going to happen to the Allen family now?
Was the Allen family going to be decimated?
"Young Master Cannon, I know I'm wrong. I'm so sorry," Leonardo said as fell to his knees shakily.
The Allen family was terrified. Why was the head of their family kneeling too?
"No. The fault isn't with you. But it was your fault for raising your grandson into a piece of trash. I told you that everything you own now no longer belongs to you. Your family disappears today. I'm a man of my words!" Chuck said coldly.
Leonardo froze, sitting on the ground. He couldn't breathe. Chuck had really done it. Who exactly were his parents for them to be so powerful?
The Allen family was done for.
"Betty, let's move on!" Chuck said.
"Yes, Young Master." After the video call was hung up, Betty raised her hand and gestured to the people outside to come in. A look of terror spread throughout everyone's faces.
This day marked the end of the Allen family!
All across the country, anything that belonged to the Allen family, be it hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, or country clubs had their signboards turned off one after another!
At first, people thought that there was a blackout, so they didn't pay too much attention. But when one, two, and then hundreds of signs in various parts of the country were all turned off simultaneously, there was a mix of reactions from everyone. What had happened to the Allen family that evening?
At the Champ family's residences within the Big Four.
News spread and much of the Champ family were puzzled to hear it, including Cheryl.
"What's going on? Anything and everything owned by the Allen family had their signboard lights switched off within half an hour. What happened?" The Champ family took it quite seriously and was alarmed.
For the lights to go off to this extent, it was certain that it wasn't an electric issue or any mishaps. It could only mean that something really bad had happened to the Allen family. However, the Allen family was one of the Four Greatest Households. What could possibly happen to them?
Did the Allen family's businesses want to update their signboards? Was that why they had turned them off for a night?
Otherwise, how else could they explain it?
Everyone knew what the lights represented. Something big was going on!
