Chapter 841: Chapter 841 Sit Down and Talk
Ancient Time. Early morning.
The core members of the Leocadia Family had already gathered beside the old man’s sickbed.
Yesterday, Delilah Leocadia was hung over a hundred meters in the air, terrifying him into a state of mental instability.
An entire afternoon of emergency treatment was required to bring this elder back from the brink.
Shortly after, Jasmine Leocadia was similarly carried back to the Leocadia home.
Seriously injured, with five broken bones.
Although there was no evidence.
But all signs indicated that it seemed to be Beckett Carmichael doing the mischief.
After all, the person who assaulted was Eli Yarrow.
Beckett Carmichael’s personal bodyguard.
And when the Leocadia Family called to question, Beckett Carmichael’s attitude was extremely tough, giving them no face at all.
This cast yet another layer of shadow over the Leocadia Family, already enveloped in gloom.
"Father, Beckett Carmichael has gone too far, we absolutely can’t swallow this indignity!"
Violet Leocadia, the eldest son of Delilah, stood beside the bed, speaking furiously.
His son, Jasmine, was now also lying on a sickbed.
With his father intimidated and his son injured, Violet longed to confront Beckett Carmichael desperately.
However, the disparity between the two families was somewhat large, so he could only swallow his anger temporarily.
"The boss is right, although our Leocadia Family isn’t comparable to the four major families, we are still a distinguished family! Now, the video of my father hanging in the air has gone viral, and our family’s reputation has been completely ruined!"
"Just when the Leocadia Family has come forward, and the Koller Family has extended an olive branch. If we switch our allegiance, we will certainly be able to take revenge!"
"That Beckett Carmichael is arrogant and overbearing, making countless enemies! His downfall is only a matter of time!"
The members of the Leocadia Family said angrily.
In a single night, a grand family had become a laughingstock.
The video of Delilah Leocadia being frightened into fainting was going viral online; each time the Leocadia family members saw it, their faces flushed with embarrassment.
"The vengeance must be exacted..."
Delilah Leocadia lay on the sickbed, his face pale.
His eyes fixed on the ceiling, his voice somewhat weak.
Aged as he was, being dangling in the air like a monkey had been a shock.
Frightened and alarmed.
His body had almost not borne it.
"Father, what should we do?"
Violet asked for instructions.
"I heard..."
Delilah moved slightly, and immediately someone behind him helped him sit up.
"I heard that Elvin brought back a strange man."
As the Family Head of the Leocadia Family, nothing within the family escaped his observant eyes.
"Indeed! My sister really, even though she has married Alaric Moore, is still bringing men home, truly damaging the family’s reputation!"
Someone spoke up displeased.
"That man, seems to be a Shadow Warrior."
Delilah squinted his eyes: "I heard, he failed in an assassination and is hiding in our Leocadia house to recover."
"It seems so," Violet raised his eyelids, looking at his father: "You mean..."
"Since he is a Shadow Warrior, he should do what a Shadow Warrior should do."
Delilah coughed a few times, struggling to get off the bed: "Go and see, force him to kill!"
"But he’s injured..."
Violet was somewhat puzzled.
"That’s not for us to worry about."
Delilah draped over a brown windbreaker and wore a black felt hat.
Supported by two people, he walked toward the house where Elvin Leocadia had sheltered the Shadow Warrior.
"I heard, that Shadow Warrior has quite a reputation." Delilah spoke as he walked.
"Elvin Leocadia says he’s very strong, introduced by Axel Somerset. But still, the assassination failed," Violet said gravely.
He had been involved in this affair and was among the few who knew the inside story.
When Elvin Leocadia returned, she wanted to hire someone to commit murder.
It was Delilah and Violet who had contacted Axel Somerset.
Being a prominent family in the capital, they had some shady connections.
"Alaric Moore is Elvin’s only child, and she can no longer have children," Delilah sighed, his steps heavy: "He’s also my grandson, look into this when you have the chance and exact our vengeance."
"Understood!"
Violet nodded at his side.
About a dozen people walked grandly toward a small building.
It was originally a small villa, left abandoned after Elvin got married.
It had not been used until her recent return to the capital, when the villa was refurbished.
Entering the villa, there was a man lying on the bed of one of the ground floor rooms.
"Father, that must be him."
Violet pointed at the man in armor on the bed, speaking cautiously: "This man is highly skilled; everyone, be careful."
No sooner had he spoken, than the Leocadia bodyguards swiftly surrounded him, one of them holding a box of hidden weapons.
Even though the Shadow Warrior was already injured, a dying camel is still bigger than a horse, so they had to act cautiously.
After the bodyguards rushed in, Delilah entered slowly, supported by Violet.
"What is this... what kind of monster is this!"
"My God, is he even human?"
Leocadia family members walked in and were scared wide-mouthed!
The man on the bed had a face covered in silver skin, his hair exceedingly pale.
He didn’t look like a human should.
"This..."
Even though Delilah Leocadia had been mentally prepared, seeing Hades for the first time still left her profoundly shocked.
Seemingly hearing the noise of the crowd, Hades slowly opened his eyes.
He sized up the people in front of him.
"Are you the Shadow Warrior?"
Violet Leocadia asked out loud.
But Hades did not speak and closed his eyes again.
"You..."
Being ignored in this way, Violet Leocadia’s face darkened, and she stepped forward with a kick!
Whoosh!
This kick hit the armor, causing her toes to feel severe pain.
Hades, however, did not move at all.
"Quite the grandiose setup!"
Violet Leocadia stood still, both embarrassed and annoyed.
A kick that not only failed to affect the opponent but also injured herself.
The Leocadia family members were all watching behind her.
"You, go up and slap him!"
She pointed to a bodyguard next to her, "Hiding in our Leocadia house and still daring to put on airs with me! Teach him a lesson!"
"Understood!"
The bodyguard rolled up his sleeves and walked up to Hades.
Narrowing his eyes, ready to strike!
Whoosh!
But in the next moment, Hades suddenly opened his eyes!
He spat out a silver needle from his mouth!
It hit the bodyguard right in the center of his forehead! 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
"Ugh..."
The bodyguard grunted.
His eyes widened as he fell directly to the ground.
Dead.
"Go!"
Delilah Leocadia’s throat moved, feeling a chill down her spine.
Luckily...
Luckily, it wasn’t her who made the move.
"Stop!"
The bodyguard with the hidden weapon box charged forwards, the box aimed at Hades’ head.
"What audacity, killing within the Leocadia household! Who do you think you are?"
Violet Leocadia breathed a sigh of relief.
Clearly, the opponent was severely injured.
Moreover, they had the hidden weapon box.
No matter how high your martial skills, you still fear a hidden blade!
But Hades gave no response.
He kept his eyes closed, lying on the bed.
"Teach him a lesson! Break his limbs and throw him out onto the street!"
Violet Leocadia was furious.
She wanted revenge on this Shadow Warrior who defied death.
"Make your move!"
A bodyguard held the hidden weapons box aiming at Hades, while several others closed in, ready to strike.
Boom!
Just then!
Hades punched the wall beside him!
The solid wall actually cracked!
"Be careful..."
Hiss!
Before Delilah Leocadia could finish speaking, Hades pulled a thunderbolt from the wall!
A flash of cold light!
Clang!
The hidden weapon box in the bodyguard’s hand was instantly knocked away.
Splat!
The thunderbolt pierced through his body.
The tip of the spear was less than five centimeters from Delilah Leocadia’s throat.
"Sit down, let’s talk."
Hades patted the bed beside him, speaking hoarsely.
