The Ginger residence was now completely surrounded by a dense crowd, making it impossible to pass through.
Apart from Soren, the minister of the Martial Arts Alliance, and his law-executors, there were also members of prominent families from Juxshire. They cagerly awaited the unfolding drama, secretly relishing in others’ misfortune.
The Houghton family’s return to Juxshire had been incredibly powerful, especially with the news of having two grandmasters in their ranks. It had sent shivers down everyone’s spines.
The wisest course of action would have been to align themselves with the Houghton family promptly. However, that wasn’t necessarily their intention.
After all, given the chance to rule, no one would willingly serve others.
Travis’ death had turned out to be a fortunate event for these prominent families, who were only responsible for picking sides. Furthermore, the Ginger family had provoked the Martial Arts Alliance, so they were bound to face severe consequences.
This martial arts tournament between the Ginger and Houghton families had severely weakened both houses, a sight that pleased the other prominent families.
Inside the hall of the Ginger residence, everyone felt oppressed, their expressions solemn. The situation was even more dire than when Alastair had yet to reach the peak of Manifestor and had to face the Houghton family’s provocation.
The most severe consequence of losing the martial arts tournament was that the Ginger family had to surrender ninety percent of their assets and withdraw from Juxshire.
However, this time, they had offended the guardian of the Martial Arts Alliance, and the outcome was truly unpredictable.
“Dad, where did the person who killed Travis come from? Not only did he kill Travis, but he also slapped the minister of the Martial Arts Alliance. It has caused quite a commotion,” said Callum, Emmett’s eldest son, with a reproachful tone.
Elliott, the second child, added, “Yes, Dad. This person is truly tactless. He has caused so much trouble for our family… If you want, I can go out and tell the minister of the Martial Arts Alliance that this person has no connection to our family whatsoever.”
Cynthia sighed and said, “I’m sure that jerk, Ryker, is laughing his head off right now. Just thinking about his smug face makes me sick.”
The other younger members of the Ginger family also chimed in, discussing ways to distance themselves from Emrys and find a glimmer of hope.
