Chapter 902: 902 Chapter Waiting for People to Come
Blocking darts with bare hands!
Killing from across the space!
Inside the Leocadia Family banquet hall, silence descended like death.
Family members widened their eyes, unable to believe that everything before them was real.
Such scenes, they had only seen in movies.
Now, it was truly unfolding before them.
"Continue."
Orville Ellsworth looked at the panic-stricken Leocadia Family bodyguards in front of him, a smile playing on his lips.
Such a mundane event, hardly worth exciting him.
He surveyed the surroundings, nodded, and said, "I do enjoy a big, lively family gathering."
"Attack!"
Evangeline Leocadia roared with an ashen face, "Show no mercy!"
Clearly, the opponents were experts.
Natalia Leocadia could be so confident, surely because of these two men.
After the words fell,
the dozen or so bodyguards at the front reached into their waists and pulled out boxes of hidden weapons.
The mouths of these boxes were aimed at the two men.
But on their faces, sweat was dripping.
Their hands, too, were shaking.
The two robed elders before them had exceeded the bodyguards’ comprehension.
The Leocadia Family was not without experts; Terry Moore was one of them.
But even as strong as Terry Moore was, he would have great difficulty surviving under the onslaught of these hidden weapon boxes.
The mission for tonight was originally to assassinate Natalia Leocadia, and to prevent the desperate act of a cornered foe, each man was equipped with a box of hidden weapons.
Now, it would come in handy.
The Leocadia Family’s elite bodyguards were all gathered here.
But Evangeline Leocadia’s face was grave, her heart uncertain.
Strong!
Far too strong!
The two elders were clearly no ordinary individuals.
From Natalia Leocadia’s words, she inferred they were Supreme Elders from Medicine King Valley!
Evangeline Leocadia had, of course, heard of Medicine King Valley.
In their circles, Medicine King Valley was a topic difficult to ignore.
Many wealthy businessmen would spend a fortune, just for the chance to kneel in front of Medicine King Valley’s grand hall, begging for life-extending elixirs.
If even the ordinary Inner Sect Disciples were so sought after, what of the elders...
At this thought, a chill ran dow Evangeline Leocadia’s back, and she subconsciously shielded Sophia Leocadia behind her.
"Evangeline Leocadia, now I’ll give you a chance."
Natalia Leocadia stood less than three meters away, her tone condescending, "By committing suicide, I can ensure the survival of your lineage. Otherwise, they will all join you in death!"
As she spoke, Natalia Leocadia’s face was flush with indescribable exhilaration!
For over thirty years!
Bearing humiliation for over thirty years!
Finally, the day had come.
"Rebel!"
Evangeline Leocadia cursed, her face livid, "For over thirty years, I have treated you as my own! The incident from back then was your father attempting to poison me, but he accidentally drank the poison himself! If it weren’t for me insisting on sparing you, you wouldn’t be here today!"
She trembled with rage, her chest heaving.
She never intended to bring up the past.
But now, since Natalia Leocadia already knew, mentioning it didn’t matter.
"It doesn’t matter anymore."
Facing Evangeline Leocadia’s angry rebuke, Natalia Leocadia shook her head with a smile, "The dead have passed on, the living, of course, should live a better life."
She adjusted the black suit on her body and said lightly, "Now, hand over the entire assets of the Leocadia Family. If you satisfy me, perhaps I’ll spare everyone in this room."
All members of the Leocadia Family who were qualified to attend tonight’s banquet came from Evangeline Leocadia’s line!
It was a rule!
Anyone who failed in the struggle to become Family Head had to leave the Leocadia mansion and set out on their own.
In other words, aside from Natalia Leocadia herself, the rest of the people in the room were all closely related to Evangeline Leocadia.
"But, Sophia Leocadia is an exception."
Natalia Leocadia’s gaze rested on this little princess of the Leocadia Family as she added with a smile, "Back then at your bedside, she dared to threaten me. Sorry, I’m someone who bears grudges."
"You..."
Daphne Leocadia, heedless of everything, charged forward from a distance.
Anyone who dared to touch his daughter would face his wrath!
Whoosh!
Natalia Leocadia kicked fiercely, sending Daphne Leocadia flying across the room.
"You think you stand a chance?"
She let out a cold laugh, looking down at Daphne Leocadia on the ground, spewing blood, "The first thing I will do after taking my position today is to kill your daughter! The second, will be to send you on your way!"
"You dare!"
Whoosh!
Evangeline Leocadia slammed the table and pointed at Natalia Leocadia, "The one who kills this person will be rewarded ten million!"
An ungrateful white-eyed wolf!
In an instant, the hidden weapon boxes turned around.
It was at this moment that Orville Ellsworth slowly raised his right hand and then fiercely grabbed!
"Ah..."
The bodyguard closest to him fell to the ground in agony.
The entire person curled into a ball, with blood continuously flowing from his mouth.
But the color of the blood had already turned pitch-black...
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The panicked Leocadia Family bodyguards almost subconsciously triggered their mechanisms at the two old men!
Whirl!
Atticus Ellsworth stepped forward, shielding Orville Ellsworth behind him, and fiercely flung his robe!
The darts, striking the robe as if they had hit metal, sparked and then scattered across the floor.
The moment the noise from the hidden weapon boxes ceased!
Orville Ellsworth flicked his finger lightly!
Whoosh!
A cloud of smoke exploded in the center of the Leocadia Family bodyguards!
"Ugh..."
The bodyguards, in agony, clutched their throats, completely unable to breathe.
Clang!
Weapons kept falling to the ground.
Following that, the sound of bodies hitting the floor.
In just half a minute.
Dozens of bodyguards, all dead.
They lay with eyes wide open, bodies rigid.
Already, breathless.
Gulp.
Evangeline Leocadia swallowed hard, her eyes filled with shock.
She had lived a lifetime and had never seen such formidable individuals.
Those bodyguards, after all, were the elite who had been hired by the Leocadia Family at a great expense.
To say they could each take on ten was no exaggeration.
But now.
All were tragically dead.
"Brilliant!"
Natalia Leocadia, clapping her hands, walked up to the two elders and bowed deeply, "I have always heard of the elders’ esteemed reputations, and seeing you today, I am truly in awe!"
As an Inner Sect Disciple, she often heard about the esteemed reputations of the Supreme Elders.
But today was genuinely the first time she saw them.
"Where is Julius Reed?"
Orville Ellsworth asked.
Their primary purpose in coming here was to eliminate Julius Reed.
Secondarily, it was to seize control of the Leocadia Family’s assets.
"That whore Sophia Leocadia has already arranged to meet with Julius Reed. I estimate he will be here in half an hour," said Natalia Leocadia smugly.
Recalling the day when Julius Reed drove straight in and harshly slapped her in the face, rage churned incessantly within Natalia Leocadia!
Thank goodness the Supreme Elder had acted, or all her years of effort would have been wasted, leaving her with no chance of turning the tables!
"Well then, we’ll wait," said Atticus Ellsworth as he strode to the table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Then, he closed his eyes to rest.
Waiting for the arrival of that young man.
Once again, the banquet hall fell into an eerie silence.
"But before that, let’s settle some accounts," said Natalia Leocadia, walking up to Evangeline Leocadia, placing her hand on her shoulder, and starting to exert force with her fingers.
"Stop it!"
Sophia Leocadia rushed over and bit Natalia Leocadia on the hand.
"You cheap wench! Hiss..."
Slap!
Natalia Leocadia backhandedly slapped Sophia Leocadia, sending her tumbling to the ground.
On the back of her hand, there was a clear impression left with blood.
"I won’t kill you because I want you to watch as Julius Reed dies before your eyes!"
He laughed loudly and sat down beside Evangeline Leocadia, "Stepfather, let’s sit back and enjoy the show. After the show, I’ll be happy to send you on your way."
