âDadâ¦â
Harrison and Lauren immediately ran to the bed. Hubert and his family did the same.
After a moment, cries and wails sounded from the ward.
In an enormous luxurious private estate in Capiton that was comparable to ten ordinary communities, the tallest villa there was nine stories high.
The sky was bright. A thin figure wearing a smiling mask jumped directly from the ground to the balcony on the ninth floor.
The old man with silver hair lying on the luxurious big bed in the bedroom suddenly opened his eyes.
The man with the smiling mask sat on a chair in the bedroom, his deep pupils locked on the old man who was looking at him.
The old man frowned slightly. âSmiling Grim Reaper?â
âYou went too far in Jonford!â The manâs voice was dull but unusually clear with a faint hint of anger.
The old man responded lightly, âItâs not your place to intervene in the Klein familyâs affairs, no?â
The manâs figure flickered before appearing in front of the old man in the blink of an eye.
A blood-red diamond-shaped army dagger was pressed against the old manâs neck as the masked man replied, âIf you continue to attack the Lewis family, Iâll kill you.â His tone was chilling.
The old man eyed the dagger on his neck through the periphery of his vision and slowly inhaled before he said, âHerman is already dead. We wonât lay another hand on the Lewis family.â
The Smiling Grim Reaper retracted his dagger when he heard this. Then, his figure disappeared out the window in a flash.
In the next second, three middle-aged men in traditional suits instantly appeared in the old manâs bedroom, leaving afterimages.
One of them quickly ran to the window but only managed to catch the Smiling Grim Reaperâs figure hundreds of meters away.
âSir, are you alright?â
A middle-aged man with a mustache on his boxy face went before the old manâs window.
The old man grazed his fingers across the wound on his neck and looked at the bright red blood on his skin as he replied, âIâm fine.â
The middle-aged man with a boxy face frowned and said, âWho was that person just now? They donât seem to be weak.â
The old man replied lightly, âThatâs the Smiling Grim Reaper.â
The square-faced man frowned. âWhat is he doing here?â
The old man laughed. âHe wants us to let go of the Lewis family.â
The man scoffed. âHeâs just the Smiling Grim Reaper. Just who does he think he is?â
The old man looked at the square-faced man with ridicule on his face. âHe almost killed me right under your nose and still you look down on him?â
The manâs expression fell as he immediately lowered his head. âWe were ineffective in our protection. Uncle, please punish us!â
âForget it. Just train with peace of mind and strive to help your ancestors break Johnathanâs seal as soon as possible,â the old man said while waving his hand.
The man with a square face asked again, âThen what about the Lewis family?â
The old man smiled and answered, âHerman is already dead. Thereâs no one who knows about the Young familyâs secret anymore.â
Hearing that, the man with the square face showed a dark expression. âRecently, a young man with incredible medical skills appeared in Jonford. He seems to be a student of Johnathan Calcraft. Should we send someone to kill him?â
The old man shook his head. âJohnathan may have ascended, but thereâs still Francis, who possesses terrifying strength. If we lay a hand on Johnathanâs little apprentice, Francis will definitely not stop until he destroys us.
Gritting his teeth, the man with the square face replied, âAre we to let him grow, kid will become a terrifying existence like Francis in a few years!â
then? The
The old man glanced at the man. âFrancis is the Smiling Grim Reaper. Heâs able to enter the empty Klein familyâs residence and kill me easily. Do you think I can count on you, a bunch of trash?â
The powerhouses of the Klein family who were above the Profound Realm had all been stationed in the castle. Now, the family only had less than 1% of their martial arts strength compared to when they were at their peak.
Even so, the Klein family was still the pinnacle of the martial arts world.
