Dylan and the others then left, and both he and Jaxon were rather thrilled with their plan. They drank a lot of wine after they went back to the Lowe house before taking a rest.
The second morning, the Freemans brought around 500 to 600 masters and arrived at the city gates, and they were then joined by the Lamberts with several hundred people.
It surprised them, however, when the Lowes showed up with just 100 people, with only two or three grandmasters in their ranks. Everyone else looked like any regular fighters, and there were not many strong grandmasters.
"Haha! It looks like you people aren't very sincere, Master Lowe. We all know that your old master and old madam are masters nearly achieving semi-god status, and you have many powerful elders as well. Why didn't you bring them?" commented Charles, his tone laced with displeasure as he gazed at them coldly.
In his opinion, it made no sense if the people they brought with them were not powerful enough. He felt that Jaxon was pretentious for bringing these people.
Jaxon smiled bitterly. "Family masters, it wasn't up to me. I wanted to bring the masters, to be honest with you, but Fane had slain them all when they tried to avenge my nephew before this. Both our elders had no idea that Fane is a strong master with semi-god status, hence..."
I see. I’m sorry for your loss, Master Lowe,' uttered Charles upon hearing Jaxon's confession. "Both our families have sent out all our masters. It'd be easy for us to kill the other party together with your people; he'd surely be crushed with our combined might. Today, we’ll get to avenge both elders!"
Taxon smiled at that and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Master Lambert. Let’s make haste since everyone’s here.”
They then swiftly made their move.
At that moment, in the Taylor family mansion...
Old beggar Nathanael and his granddaughter, Brianna hesitated for a long time before they finally decided.
Nathanael asked Fane to go to Brianna's room so they could talk.
