“Julus, calm down… I…” Josef was about to speak when an elderly man dressed in a robe with a long


    braid entered. “The remnants of the Young family must be exterminated!


    ?


    Anger shed across the faces of the youths of the Klein family. Only members of the family’s direct


    lineage could participate in a meeting in the ancestral hall. Who was this old man?


    “Elder Wells! You’vee out of seclusion!” Julus stood up and lowered his head. Josef also rose and


    lowered his head while leaning on his cane. “Greetings, Elder Wells!


    The youths were dumbfounded.


    “Who is this old man? Even Grandpa Julus treats him with so much


    respect.”


    “Look at his long braid, he must be a formidable figure!”


    Someone looked toward Jaime Klein, the spokesperson of the family’s youths. “Jaime, do you know


    this elder?” The others also c curious nces at him.


    Jaime was the son of Marvin Klein, the eldest son. As the heir to the


    family, he knew many secrets that others did not.


    “He’s my master, Gerolt Wells. He’s the former secret guard of Emperor Neil Light of the Light


    Dynasty!”


    Everyone gasped in shock.


    Jaime walked past the elders and kneeled beside Gerolt. “Greetings,


    Master!”


    Gerolt nodded gently. “No need for so many formalities, my disciple.”


    “Thank you, Master Wells!” Jaime thanked him and then got up.

    Gerolt looked at Josef and said lightly, “Anyone who remains from the Young family cannot be spared.


    The Kleins need not intervene. I’ll handle the matter.”


    Josef was about to reply, but Julus beat him to it. “In that case, we’ll have to trouble you for this, Elder


    Wells.”


    Gerolt was half a step in the Profound Oriental Realm. With him taking action, Nash’s demise was


    certain.


    “Elder Wells, the Warden of the Northern Territory is also a remnant of


    the Young family. He has established an organization called the Heavenly Doors.”


    While Josef could persuade Julus, he could not persuade this powerhouse who had lived since the


    Light Dynasty.


    The ancestors of the Young family made a living by robbing tomb During the Light Dynasty, they


    desecrated imperial mausoleums, prompting Gerolt to lead the Imperial Guards in pursuit.


    At that time, many members of the Young family were killed, and arge number of ancient martial arts


    techniques were obtained. This allowed Gerolt to step into the martial path, breaking free from the


    shackles of life so that he could survive to this day.


    It was because of this that Gerolt harbored deep hatred toward the


    Young family. Now, with him being a half-step into the Profound Oriental Realm and taking action, Nash


    and Wolfgang would undoubtedly perish.


    Meanwhile, at the Jackson family’s estate, the patriarch of the Jackson family was conversing with his


    two sons and several grandchildren.


    “Grandfather, I don’t agree with severing ties with the Klein family! They took the FS bacterium that


    rightfully belonged to us. We haven’t settled that score yet!”


    Lucas looked displeased as he spoke to Edwin. His grandfather was actually considering cutting ties


    with the Klein family just because of a message from Lana.


    The Klein family was ranked third among the Ten Families of Capiton. Maintaining good rtions with


    them was crucial for the Jackson family to maintain their current status.


    Edwin sighed. “At just over 20 years old, Nash Calcraft is already strong enough to y The


    Swordsman. Even among the Young members from back then, he would have been considered a once


    century martial genius.


    “Although Lana doesn’t usually concern herself with family matters, she has an astute judgment of


    people. Since she has advised us to stay away from the Klein family, there must be a reason behind it.”


    Lucas sneered. “It’s most likely she’s taken a liking to Nash. How shameless she is for falling for a


    married man. I suggest we expel her


    from the family!”


    “Lucas, what nonsense are you spouting? Lana is your sister!” Lucas’ father said with a stern


    expression.


    Lucas scoffed. “So you’ve raised a fine daughter who’s willing to


    throw the family into the fire for a man?”


    Could the Jackson family, with their vast enterprises, be swayed by just a woman?


    Just as Edwin was about to speak up, the secretary beside him


    suddenly handed him a phone. “Sir, the head of the Klein family is calling!”
