Tonight, Peng City was destined to be anything but peaceful.
The Rothschild Family, truly Europe's foremost powerhouse, lived by the principle that money can make the devil turn the millstone. The hidden operatives they had planted in the Southern Province alone were numerous. Among them were a dozen or so people, including street-food vendors and teachers, who were masters at or above the Fifth-Rank Acquired realm.
There was even an Innate master who could stand toe-to-toe with Huang Xuantian.
The military forces of Peng City, led by the Deputy Commander, had also arrived. They claimed to be maintaining friendly relations between the East and the West, but their true intentions were self-evident.
The Rothschild Family had purchased a villa in front of the airport. Real estate prices in Peng City are naturally high, but for the Rothschild Family, the cost was a mere trifle. The villa was now packed with people, bustling with activity inside and out.
Within the villa, the Big Boss of the Iron Guards looked at Gona and said calmly, "Now, do you feel safe?"
Gona frowned slightly. Inside and outside the villa were a hundred experts nearly as strong as him, in addition to another hundred Iron Guards. It was an overwhelming presence. With such a lineup, dominating Peng City and unifying the Jianghu of Dragon Country's southern region would not be an issue.
Still, Gona shook his head. "You should all just let me go. I've realized that this so-called Wu Tian is unfathomable. If I don't leave, I'll die here."
Hearing this, the masked men were all disappointed. They had heard of Gona's wise reputation within the family, but now, he just looked like a terrified mouse to them. With so many of us here, how could we possibly fear one man?
The Big Boss was also disappointed. He wasn't a man of many words and simply said, "Gona, I will restore your ambition. He will die before your very eyes, and that will teach you a lesson: the Rothschild Family is invincible. With the Rothschild Family backing you, we can help you resolve anything you face."
As his words faded, he looked at the crowd and bellowed, "Don't you agree?"
"The Rothschild Family is invincible!"
"The Rothschild Family is invincible!"
"The Rothschild Family is invincible!"
Everyone roared, and an intense Killing Intent radiated from them.
The Big Boss nodded. "We won't wait for him to come to us. We'll go to him!"
His words stirred the crowd even further, and they all agreed that was how it should be.
Just then, however, someone on the villa's rooftop spotted something and suddenly yelled, "He's here!"
At the sound of this cry, everyone except Gona and Watt rushed out of the villa. They wanted to see who this person was that dared to so brazenly offend the Rothschild Family.
"Young Master, aren't we going out?" Watt asked from inside the villa.
"We need to escape," Gona said, his voice trembling.
"That's not an option," Watt objected firmly. "Young Master, if you try to run, I will shout for them immediately."
Gona's brow furrowed in anger. "Watt, what are you doing?"
"Young Master, can't you see? You've lost your nerve," Watt said with fervor. "I am confident in my own talents, which are comparable to those of Zhuge Liang or Liu Bowen. My strategies have only failed once—just once. Please trust me, Young Master. I will help you achieve great things. You mustn't run away now. You need to witness Wu Tian's death with your own eyes. Only then will the courage you've lost return. Only then will you once again become the ambitious man I chose to follow, a man like Liu Bei or Zhu Yuanzhang."
Gona was stunned, muttering, "Mad. You're completely insane. They don't know how terrifying Wu Tian is, but how can you not? He's unfathomable. Staying here means death." But Watt refused to believe it.
