The unique aura of powerful assassins was cooling down the whole study. Leo's tall and straight body seemed quite tense.
However, that tense only lasted for a short moment before it was gone entirely. Then it was replaced by fearless indifference.
Having seen these warriors hiding in the shadow, Leo finally understood why the Henderson family would be one of the nine royal families.
It was all because of Karl.
Just him.
He alone was comparable to a strong family.
These assassins are probably the Dark-dragon Guards that Karl secretly cultivated; each of them was no weaker than Nadine.
No one could imagine how powerful the ten could be when they were together.
Leo knew very well that no forces from the killer or mercenary worlds could compete with this one. They would destroy any other troops in an instant!
However, that was still not enough to deter Leo.
He took a look outside and asked with an indifferent smile, "That's what you're counting on?"
All of them were as powerful as Nadine, which made them scary enough, but Leo had nothing to be afraid of.
Once upon a time, on the Elview Mountain, the Nine Supremes traveled across the ocean to fight Leo; all of them were later beheaded by Leo alone, let alone the team of ten here.
Every one of the Nine Supremes had reached the 'Supreme Realm'.
"They are just one of my troops."
Karl smiled unconcernedly. "This is my protection squad, Dark-dragon Guards."
"I know that you have been in the army, and you have won a very high position there, or you wouldn't have the five years missed on your resume, but..."
Speaking of that, Karl changed the subject. He pointed to Dark-dragon Guards on the trees and said, "Each of them has achievements no less than yours."
"Some of them are brilliant and ruthless killers, some are the best and omnipotent mercenaries, and some are experienced spies. Your power is worthless to me."
His words were highly contemptuous, as if he wanted to deny everything Leo had achieved in his life. However, Leo wasn't angry at all.
His expression changed a bit, and he asked, "Are you trying to kill me?"
"Of course not."
Karl laughed out upon hearing that, "I didn't call them over to kill you, or you could've already died on your way back to Emerdale that day."
"I just want to tell you that this world is not as simple and kind as you think. Each of them has their dominating fields, but they are willing to work together for me... Why?"
"Because of faith."
Karl's eyes turned sincere as he spoke that out. He stared at Leo and continued, "I can make them more powerful; therefore, they are willing to follow my lead. They protect me and cover my underground business."
"I don't want to kill you because I don't want Lydia to be said. So I'm giving you the chance to leave her by yourself."
Hearing Karl's words, Leo fell into a deep silence. His face turned grim, sad, and frustrated,
He didn't have those faces because he was afraid of Dark-dragon Guards. He couldn't care less about those people. It was because he had seen Karl's determination.
Karl didn't hesitate to play one of his trump cards just to force Leo to divorce Lydia, which made Leo a bit scared.
Leo once said that whoever stopped him from being with Lydia was his enemy, but he hesitated if he should do anything to his father-in-law.
If he did, how would Lydia think of him?
However, he had also promised that he wouldn't let her down again.
He really wondered if there were possible ways that worked for both Lydia and Karl.
Leo firmly believed that he would find a way.
