Lord Chapter 271

Chapter 271 By Themselves

“I’m here!” Wylie politely responded to the call.

“How are your preparations for dealing with the Eight Noble Lineages?” asked Cole with a frown.

“Everything is ready, sir! We can even launch the attack tonight! All that’s left is for you to give the order to do so,” answered Wylie.

Cole stood up and declared, “Well done. We’ll deal with these pesky elite families first before we turn both Azure Flames and Skyfeather Pavilion into our own. After that, it’s only a matter of time to deal with Caspian alone.”

The entire region of Naporia was surging with ill intentions as the entirety of Galecrest had mobilized its forces.

Everyone within Naporia could feel that there would be bloodshed tonight.

It would be a sleepless night for many.

Midnight had arrived.

The sky was covered with clouds and further shrouded Naporia in darkness.

The atmosphere was suffocating and depressing.

Meanwhile, at the Landor Residence….

The building had a modernized and luxurious design, which seemed like the complete opposite compared to the Zann family’s Swallow Castle.

Georgie was sitting on a sofa with a grave expression on his face.

Surrounding him were other powerful figures within Naporia.

Georgie had been having trouble with his appetite and sleep recently, as he felt that Galecrest might strike at any point in time.

He then summoned all the other heads to discuss their next course of action.

It was Georgie who had approached Caspian for cooperation and had taken the initiative to appoint him as the alliance leader.

And he had now become the target for Galecrest.

It was why he was hesitant about revealing his hand for the entire time..

Georgie knew he would be in the most trouble, considering he was the first one pushing for the agenda.

Georgie turned to the middle–aged butler beside him and asked, “Do you think security will be enough with all the men arranged around us?”

“No problems, sir! I’ve assembled every man that the Landor family had trained as per your instructions. We can guarantee this place will be safe!” answered the butler.

Georgie nodded, although he was sure his men wouldn’t be enough to fend off Galecrest’s forces if they were to attack.

“My fellow gentlemen, how are your preparations?” asked Georgie as he looked around.

“Relax, Georgie. I’ve brought plenty of my highly trained men with me.”

“Galecrest’s men won’t be going home alive if they dare to attack us.

“With the seven of us united together, we have nothing to be afraid of!”

The six men around Georgie all spoke out with confidence.

They had gathered their finest men in order to fend off Galecrest..

The Landor residence was now secure, with plenty of men planted all around the area.

“Where’s Vermont? Is he not coming?” asked the head of the Hersey family.

They were surprised that the Zann family was not present even though they were the strongest among them.

Georgie looked up at his butler. “I’ve already instructed my What did

en to invite” he say?”

The butler politely answered, “I never had the chance to see Mr. Zann Senior at all. He seemed to have been busy dealing with some matters.”

Georgie’s expression turned for the worst.

“Just what the hell is Vermont doing? Is he chickening out now that our enemies are coming for us?”

“Maybe he’s plotting something behind our backs and just waiting to swoop in once the battle is over. I wonder if he could guarantee that his own family would be safe from Galecrest’s attack?”

“That won’t be possible. Galecrest wouldn’t possibly let any of us go, including the Zanns.”

The men all spoke out with anger.

They believed that Vermont was hiding from fear.

“Forget it. We can’t really matter at hand. We can still look for Vermont after we’ve dealt with Galecrest,

sell the Zann family what to do. Let’s just focus on the current

Georgie.

“‘ declared

The head of the Woolery family spoke up, “Any news from the alliance leader?”

The men then looked up at Georgie with anticipation.

They were not bothered by Vermont’s absence as they were more concerned about Caspian’s

appearance.

They needed Caspian’s help now more than ever, as they would be dead without him when

Galecrest attacked.

Georgie smiled. “Mr. Lynch had promised to help us when I last visited him.”

The men felt relieved upon receiving the reassurance that Caspian would be there to help them.

They were all well aware of Caspian’s strength, especially when they realized that Aster couldn’t even handle a single punch from Caspian.

Meanwhile, outside of the Landor residence, a dozen men clothed in black popped out of

nowhere.

They were all men from the old division of Mahayan Pavilion, with Wylie at its helm.

Wylie stared into the Landors‘ brightly lit house as he suppressed his anger.

He couldn’t believe how evil Cole was for sending him to deal with the Eight Noble Lineages.

The plan was too obvious even for Wylie.

He could tell that Cole wanted Mahayan Pavilion to be eradicated by sending them to certain

death.

He realized that Cole would be the winner in the end, no matter what.

Wylie couldn’t afford to resist Cole and could only obey and carry out his orders.

Mahayan Pavilion would have been wiped out if he tried to go against Cole.

“Dad, Mr. Wilson had sent us some insider information. Apparently, the Zanns are not present with the Eight Noble Lineages right now,” said Billy.

Billy was in a very good mood as he was now a senior member of Galecrest.

He had also just been assigned to eradicate the Eight Noble Lineages along with Wylie.

Wylie felt helpless as he looked at his foolish son.

“Do you really think the promotion you got is a good thing? He would have sent us more

“He’s an evil man. He’s clearly just sending all of us to our death to wipe out the rest of Mahayan Pavilion without d*rtying his own hands. Don’t ever forget your allegiance, son.

Billy was upset by his lecture. “What are you talking about, Dad? Mr. Wilson appointed me as a senior member because he highly approves of me! As long as we contribute to Galecrest, he will surely help us rebuild Mahayan Pavilion!”

Wylie was left speechless. He couldn’t believe that his son was satisfied and convinced with a mere position that amounted to nothing.

He was in awe of the evil tricks Cole had used on his own kin.

“What should we do next, Dad?” asked Billy.

Wylie finally snapped back to his senses and focused on their mission.

“It’s great that all seven of them are together. Saves us the time to go looking for them one by one,” said Wylie.

Mahayan Pavilion wasn’t as powerful as it used to be.

But he reckoned that he still had enough men to deal with these elite families.

He surmised that the families‘ fighters were no match to his highly skilled men.
