Ilias’s sudden betrayal caught Oscar completely off guard.
Ilias had been pushing for the Summers family to join the Demon Seal Alliance solely to gain their assistance in destroying the arcane array around the Holy Pond.
Now that the arcane array was gone, the Summers family seemed to lose its significance to Ilias.
There was no need for pretense anymore. Considering the Summers family’s strength, they couldn’t compete with the Henningsen family.
Furthermore, with the Summers family now part of the Demon Seal Alliance and having handed over their magecraft secret scrolls, Ilias was confident they wouldn’t dare to go back on their word.
“You…” Oscar was visibly shaken by Ilias’s sudden change of attitude.
“Ilias, don’t push it too far. Our family can certainly reconsider our agreement and choose not to join the Demon Seal Alliance.”
“Do you dare?” Ilias sneered. “Your family’s magecraft secret scrolls are in my possession, and I know the location of the Summers family’s sanctuary. If you dare to reconsider, your family will be wiped out by tomorrow. I hope you don’t act rashly. Go back and manage the Summers family properly. Serve the Dernon Seal Alliance. When I need you, don’t disappoint me.”
Gritting his teeth, Oscar glared furiously at Ilias, but he was utterly helpless. Physically confronting Ilias was out of the question.
“I understand,” Oscar sighed reluctantly, then turned and walked away. He feared that if the stalemate continued, Ilias might suddenly detain them, making matters worse.
Following closely behind Oscar, Jared also left. However, as they exited, he exchanged a meaningful glance with Tyler.
Once they left the Henningsen residence, Oscar couldn’t contain his frustration and let out a roar, “Ah!”
He hadn’t anticipated that all his efforts to join the Demon Seal Alliance and elevate the Summers family would end in such humiliation.
Looking at the infuriated Oscar, Jared commented coolly, “Do you think it’s possible to climb higher by relying on someone else’s strength before you have your own power? The Henningsen family merely used you. Now that they have no use for you, they can dispose of you anytime.”
