“You…”
Jennifer was seething with anger, but since Oscar was her uncle, she couldn’t bring herself to lay a
hand on him.
“You monster!”
Jennifer hesitated to raise her hand in conflict, but Todd did not. As the butler of the Summers family,
having looked after several generations of family heads, he was not at all intimidated by Oscar. He
directly slapped Oscar across the face.
“I will make you talk,” Jared said and turned to Jennifer as he continued, “Ms. Summers, please
restrain your uncle first. Then, prepare the place. I believe it won’t be long before the members of the
Demon Seal Alliance arrive.”
Since Oscar had sent someone to invite the members of the Demon Seal Alliance, Jared knew for sure
that they would come.
Originally, Jared had planned to stay for just one night and then leave. However, if the Demon Seal
Alliance were to come after the Summers family now, he feared the Summers family wouldn’t be able
to withstand them.
“Alright; I’ll go set it up right away.”
Jennifer had someone lock up Oscar, and then began to set up arcane arrays around the Summers
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfamily’s premises.
Meanwhile, in Henningsen City, Ilias was engaged in a discussion with Zayan in the grand hall of the
Henningsen residence.
A servant walked in and told Ilias, “Mr. Henningsen, representatives from the Summers family of
Forlisle have arrived…”
Upon hearing this, Ilias immediately burst into laughter. “Let him in! It seems the matter has been
settled!”
“What happened?” Zayan asked in confusion.
He was still unaware of the fact that Ilias was collaborating with Oscar.
“Mr. Cabeza, as I’ve said before, the Summers family will surely take the initiative to join the Demon
Seal Alliance. Well, they’ve just sent someone over to our doorstep! In fact, I’ve been in touch with
Oscar of the Summers family for quite some time now. Oscar was also willing to bring the Summers
family to join the Demon Seal Alliance. Given that they are sending someone over at this hour, they
must have succeeded!” Ilias replied with great satisfaction.
While Ilias was explaining things to Zayan, Oscar’s subordinate had already entered, carrying an item
pouch.
The subordinate handed the item pouch over to Ilias and said, “Mr. Henningsen, Mr. Oscar sent me to
deliver this item to you. Additionally, he hopes that Mr. Henningsen could dispatch someone to the
Summers family and assist him in gaining control over the Summers family.”
Ilias didn’t speak; instead, he opened his item pouch. Inside, there were tokens from the Summers
family, along with several secret scrolls of magecraft from the Summers family.
The most significant item was a map, which depicted the secret location of the Summers family.
Tyler and Jacques were confined in this secret land. Originally, this secret place was intended to serve
as a refuge for the Summers family in times of catastrophic disaster.
Moreover, very few people knew about this place; it was the most closely guarded secret of the
Summers family.
Now, Oscar had willingly handed it over to Ilias.
“Hahaha, it seems that Oscar is indeed trustworthy!”
Looking at the object in his hand, Ilias burst into triumphant laughter.
After laughing, Ilias waved his hand and said, “Grand Elder, take the Henningsen family’s men and
follow him to the Summers family. If you find any stubborn individuals in the Summers family who
refuse to join the Demon Seal Alliance, they are to be killed without question.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“As you wish…” The Grand Elder of the Henningsen family nodded, then led his people to follow
Oscar’s subordinate to the Summers family.
Regarding the strength of the Summers family, Ilias felt quite assured sending the Grand Elder. After
all, the Summers family primarily focused on the study of magecraft and charms, and they still lacked a
bit in terms of their cultivation level.
This was also why there were so few prestigious families and sects in the Ethereal Realm practicing
the art of magecraft.
The impact of magecraft on the speed and progress of one’s cultivation level was significant. After all, a
person’s energy was limited. Engaging in the practice of magecraft would reduce the time required to
increase one’s cultivation level.
Individuals as versatile as Jared were truly rare. Not only in the mortal realm, but also throughout the
entire universe, there were very few who could match the genius of someone like Jared.
After the departure of the Grand Elder, Ilias held a map in his hands, a smile spreading across his face
as he said, “Mr. Cabeza, I will now take you to meet the head of the Summers family. He is currently
nothing more than a prisoner.”
