Killing Evan Chu Is as Easy as Turning a Hand

Soon after, people from the Rowan, Walker, Carter, Yates, and the other ten families arrived one after another.

Although these families have plenty of private feuds, when facing outsiders, they always present a united front.

"Doyle Family Patriarch, are you really planning to just let this go?"

Inside a heavily warded room in the Doyle estate, the heads of all ten families were gathered.

It was the Rowan Family Patriarch who spoke.

"What else can we do?"

The Doyle Family Patriarch gave a bitter, frustrated smile: "You all know how terrifying a ninth-tier War General is. Even if all our top experts joined forces, we might not be able to kill him. And even if we did, the losses would be unimaginable!"

His words made sense, and almost everyone present agreed, but deep down, they all felt stifled. When had they ever been forced into such a humiliating position by some kid from the outer Domain?

"Is there any way to get the Dragonfolk Empire’s Third Prince Ming to act? If he steps in, he could wipe out Evan Chu for sure!" suggested the Walker Family Patriarch.

The Doyle Family Patriarch added, "To be honest, I had the same idea before—and even tried it. I wanted to kidnap one of Evan Chu’s maids and offer her to Third Prince Ming, hoping Evan would clash with him. But the plan failed, and that’s why Evan came looking for us!"

"Is there any other way to get Third Prince Ming to act?"

The Walker Family Patriarch spoke again. The Walkers were related to the Tanner Clan by marriage—his third daughter-in-law was from the Tanner Clan. After the Tanner Clan was wiped out, he’d wanted revenge but always hesitated because of Evan Chu's strength.

The Doyle Family Patriarch shook his head. "It’s unlikely. Third Prince Ming is deeply favored by the Dragonfolk Emperor and has seen countless treasures. Even if we offered up our inherited treasures, he might not care. As for women, to him they're just playthings—not worth his attention!"

Hearing his analysis, everyone fell silent again.

"Are we really just going to let this outsider kid lord it over us?" the Walker Family Patriarch shouted angrily.

Once again, the room went silent.

They all looked down on Evan Chu for being from the outer Domain, but no one could deny his strength.

"Alright, that’s enough for today. Thank you all for your support!"

The Doyle Family Patriarch waved his hand weakly, looking exhausted.

"Let’s go."

The Zhao Family Patriarch got up and walked out, and the other family heads followed one after another.

Just as the Doyle Family Patriarch stepped out of the room, an old butler hurried over, looking excited: "Patriarch, Third Prince Ming is here to visit!"

"What?"

The Doyle Family Patriarch was startled, then his face lit up with joy.

The other family heads, who were about to leave, all stopped in their tracks.

"Huh? What’s going on?"

Third Prince Ming entered the Doyle estate with a Doyle girl on each arm, and immediately noticed the ruined buildings. He looked a bit puzzled.

"Looks like there was a fight here!"

The white-clad woman standing behind Third Prince Ming spoke in a serious tone.

"Isn’t the Doyle Family one of Skywind City’s top clans? Who would dare cause trouble here?" Third Prince Ming grew even more curious.

At that moment, the Doyle Family Patriarch and the other family heads arrived together, all bowing deeply in greeting, their attitudes extremely respectful.

"Oh, everyone’s here!"

Third Prince Ming waved his hand casually.

The Doyle Family Patriarch quickly forced a smile and said, "Your Highness, there’s been some trouble at our humble estate—please forgive the mess!"

"Oh!"

"Your Highness, please come inside!"

Surrounded by the family heads, Third Prince Ming entered the Doyle Family’s inner hall and took the seat of honor without hesitation.

The next moment, Third Prince Ming announced, "I came today mainly to let the Doyle Family Patriarch know that I’m quite satisfied with your two beauties. I plan to take them with me!"

"Ah!" The Doyle Family Patriarch glanced at the two girls clinging to Third Prince Ming, then broke into a beaming smile. "It’s their greatest fortune that Your Highness favors them. You two, do your best to serve Third Prince Ming well from now on."

"Yes, Father!"
