Meanwhile.
Inside a dark house, a man was laying on the sofa leisurely.
If Karen were here, she would be surprised to find that this very man was Chuck's father, Chadrick Cannon.
Someone knocked on the door.
Not a moment later, a woman came walking in. However, her features could not be properly made out in the dark.
"Young Master," Chadrick's subordinate, Silvia, greeted him as she lowered her head respectfully.
With a dismissive wave of his hand, Chadrick replied, "Stop calling me that. I haven't been home for a long while now. I'm not used to that title anymore..."
"I see. You've got something else on your mind, don't you?" The woman asked, her eyes gleaming a little as she looked up at him.
"Indeed," Chadrick nodded.
"I knew that you must have had other plans when you left home..."
"You know, I haven't seen you in a long while now..." Silvia continued as she steadily approached him.
"Don't come any closer. I'm married now, I have a wife," Chadrick warned, shaking his head.
Silvia paused at that and felt a little lost as she started to speak, "But Young Master, we grew up together! When we were younger, you even slept with me..."
"Stop it," Chadrick snapped, interrupting her.
Silvia lowered her head in submission at that. The light in her eyes dimmed.
"I've come back to look for my father. Is he in?" Chadrick asked, his tone turning grave.
"Oh, yes. He's home at the moment. Are you here to meet him in person?" Sylvia questioned. She was a little startled.
Chadrick shook his head, "That won't be necessary. I left since I was a child and have taken a number of risks to get here this time. There are too many spies from the other two families that I can handle..."
"Well, why are you here then?" Silvia couldn't work out why he was here.
"I wanted to ask my father for a personal favour. My son... may have gotten into some trouble," Chadrick said.
"You..." Silvia sputtered, her eyes nearly bulging out of her sockets from the shock.
"What?" Chadrick retorted indifferently.
"You shouldn't have feelings for Karen. The Old Master had only taken a fancy to her because of her potential. Apart from that, he doesn't care about her at all! I'm not sure if he'll agree to your request..." Silvia reminded him.
Hearing her words, Chadrick fell silent.
"Young Master, you left this house at a very young age. You know very well what the best course of action is, don't you? You've persevered for so long, so do you want to risk failing here? If the Old Master gives you a hand, won't the other two families find out?" Silvia continued.
Chadrick remained silent the whole time. He could still remember what his father had said to him when he first left home. Those parting words had imprinted themselves in his mind. He could recite them in his sleep if he had to.
For the sake of his family, he could give everything up.
His family was everything to him. He would do whatever it takes to keep it together.
That was what his father had told him at that time. The memory was still fresh in his mind.
"Young Master, if you bring this up to the Old Master, he will be enraged. Please, I can't bear to see you get yelled at," Silvia pleaded.
"So I really have to give up everything else for the sake of my family then?" Chadrick muttered bitterly.
"Alright, I understand. I won't come back until I've completed what's expected of me," Chadrick said as he stood up to leave.
Plucking up her courage, Silvia quickly rushed up to him and hugged him from behind, "Young Master, please stay a little bit longer. I've missed you so much..."
"Let go of me, I have a wife," Chadrick said quietly and was unmoved.
Upon hearing that, Silvia let out a small sigh and loosened her grip, "I'm sorry, Young Master. Forgive me..."
"Forget it," Chadrick said as he left.
With another sigh, Silvia left the room after him. She proceeded to walk through a corridor and stopped outside the door of a luxurious room before entering.
"Old Master, Young Master was here just now," Silvia informed.
A hoarse and old voice croaked.
"What did he want?"
"Young Master said that his son..." Silvia explained everything...
Meanwhile, in the Yeager family's hall.
The atmosphere was filled with indiscernible tension.
It was time to enjoy the show.
Ten of the Yeager family's bodyguards were going to battle it out with Chuck and Wi I la!
It would be the excitement of the century.
It was almost guaranteed that Chuck and Willa would die miserably here today.
After all, they had trampled on the prestige of the Yeager family and would have to suffer the consequences.
Instantly, Chuck made his move.
He had been hit by a man and was forced to take a step back, heaving after the punch had landed on him.
The pain was immense.
Recently, he had been training and his combat skills had improved beyond belief. However, the bodyguards of the hidden family were extremely strong. They had probably been training a long time before this.
Their strengths were not something ordinary fighters could compare to.
