Chapter 645 Teaming Up
“What?” Harvey and Graeme both leaped to their feet in unison. “Say that again!” Graeme shouted at the guard. He got so worked up that his spiritual energy went out of control, causing the furniture around him to start breaking. That showed just how shocked Graeme was.
“There’s trouble in Yaleview… Eva from the Salladay family has teamed up with Wilbur to assassinate Joshua. His cultivation level is revealed to be in the middle phase of God Realm, and he has gone missing after making an escape. His fate is currently unknown.”
Harvey activated his force field to suppress the outburst of Graeme’s spiritual energy. Any higher and Graeme’s spiritual energy would probably start hurting Colton and the others.
“Did you find out anything else?” Harvey asked the guard coldly. “That was the only information we received from Yaleview. Because of the urgent nature of the situation, I’ve come over to report it as quickly as possible,” the guard replied respectfully.
“Have all our spies in the country get to work! We must locate Joshua at all costs!” “Understood!” The guard then turned around and left the room. Harvey walked up to Graeme and said, “Calm down, Father.”
Graeme lowered his spiritual energy levels after hearing that, but the look in his eyes remained icy-cold as he exclaimed, “I can’t believe Herman Whitley managed to slip right through our fingers!”
Harvey got a little worried when he heard that. Herman was the patriarch of the Whitley family two generations ago. He had managed to escape the assault from the eight families.
Back when the Whitley family was in its prime, even Graeme had had to address Herman politely whenever he saw him. Harvey led Graeme to the side and sat him down on the couch.
“According to the rules of the respectable families, children around the age of five who are found to be suitable for cultivation need to be sent to their ancestral grounds, where they will be trained and screened. Joshua is currently a Divine Realm cultivator, so he must’ve been well-trained before the Whitley family got annihilated. Looks like this is Herman’s last-ditch effort to protect the family,” he said with a sigh.
Colton and Zidane stared wide-eyed at Harvey in shock after hearing that. Being the heirs of a respectable family, they had never experienced conflict in life, let alone heard about it.
After all, a respectable family like theirs couldn’t possibly have survived all those years without being incredibly powerful and independent.
Those who even remotely tried to hurt them would likely end up dead. However, everything changed when Joshua’s cultivation level was revealed. It was over ten years ago when the eight respectable families had teamed up to annihilate the Whitley family.
Not wanting to give the Whitley family a chance to retaliate, they acted swiftly and suddenly. That was how they caught the Whitley family by surprise and managed to wipe it out.
Following the annihilation of the Whitley family, the eight respectable families proceeded to massacre all of its remaining family members and relatives, including the distant ones.
When did Herman plan this? No one has ever heard of Joshua. Did Herman start the preparations for the Whitley family’s backup plan right after Joshua was born? That was thirty years ago! If that really is the case, then Herman is a lot more terrifying than we imagined.
