"Protect Mrs Knight!" Alban Carroll led a hundred SHADOW men to encircle Harleen's family in the center.
"Mama, I'm scared..." Tasha tightly grasped Harleen's clothes, her body trembling slightly.
"Don't be afraid, Tasha. Mama is here." Harleen patted Tasha's back reassuringly.
"Madam, there's a private room over there. You should go inside and wait for a while." Alban glanced at a small private room inside the hall and suggested.
"Okay!" Harleen nodded and led her parents to the private room. She knew that there would likely be intense conflict soon, and even if the opponents couldn't harm them, Tasha was still too young and might get frightened if she stayed at the scene.
"Dad, Mom, there's a private room over there. Let's hide inside quickly." At this moment, Maurice shouted loudly and then ran towards the private room.
"Get lost!" Alban raised his hand and delivered a palm strike, sending Maurice tumbling to the ground.
"Maurice!" Kennard Higgins and his wife shouted and rushed over.
Alban Carroll ignored the three of them and led Harleen's family of four toward the private room, while Zeph Knight and others quickly followed.
At the same time, the hall echoed with the sounds of intense collisions. The battle between the two sides had entered a white-hot stage. Among the opposing group, the highest cultivation level was on par with Fabian Geis, and there were seven or eight Warlords. Most of the rest were at the Battle God level. Fabian Geis's group was evenly matched with the opponents in terms of strength, making it difficult to determine the outcome at the moment.
"Maurice, get up quickly, let's go!" Thalia Higgins helped her son up, and then, under the protection of several bodyguards, they ran towards the entrance.
"Thinking of running? Can you escape?" a man from the opposing group rushed over and blocked their way.
"Don't kill us, we're not with them. We're from the Higgins family in the capital..." Thalia's face turned pale as she shouted.
"Today, everyone here will die!" the man interrupted her and swung his sword toward one of the men in black.
One of the Higgins's bodyguards was much weaker in cultivation and had no chance to resist. And he was directly killed by a single sword strike. Seeing this, the other bodyguards no longer cared about protecting Kennard Higgins's family and quickly ran away.
"You bunch of idiots, come back!" Maurice shouted angrily.
Before his words could finish, the man from the opposing group swung his sword again.
"Maurice!" Kennard exclaimed in shock and rushed towards his son, trying to push his son away. However, his speed was no match for the opponent, and just as the sword aura descended, Maurice's leg was cut off at the knee, and blood gushed out. It was only because Kennard managed to push him away at the last moment that Maurice's life was saved.
At the same time, a deep wound was also cut open on Kennard's chest by the sword aura.
"Ah..." Maurice let out a scream like a slaughtered pig.
"You bastard, I'm taking you down!" Thalia yelled hysterically and charged at the opponent as if possessed.
"Ignorant fool!" the man growled, swinging his large knife towards Thalia's head.
"No, don't!" Kennard Higgins cried out once more.
Bang!
Just then, a member of Fabian Geis's team rushed over and landed a heavy blow on the man's arm. The man winced in pain, and his hand veered off to the side, causing the blade to descend from Thalia's shoulder, and her arm fell to the ground.
"Ah..." Thalia screamed in agony and collapsed.
