Chapter 1159: Chapter 356 Silver Moon Sect’s War Sacrifice Chapter 1159: Chapter 356 Silver Moon Sect’s War Sacrifice PS. Subject as ntioned
Leonard Churchill and Seven Brown were busy in the underground factory rigging those instrunts.
On the other side, in the building of Deka chanical Company, the dispute within the family was still ongoing.
“Father, do you really trust those two of unknown origins?”
“They have a token from the Family Head; there’s no doubting their identities.”
“But even if they are from the Song Family, what then? With the situation as it is now, what difference can just two people make? The Wine Gang has already sent soone to hurry us, asking us to gather at the eting point quickly. Mother used her connections to barely secure a few tickets; if we don’t leave now, we’ll truly miss the chance…”
“…”
Moustached Leo was the head of the family, and he had to consider not only himself but also his family and the chanics.
Listening to his wife and children’s anxious urging, his expression also showed so conflict.
Leo saw the situation in Talon City more clearly than most.
He had inquired through connections; even Marshal Roy, the city’s commanding officer, could not guarantee anyone’s safe departure.
Having received a ssage from the Song Family before, he clung to a glimr of hope.
After all, he and his father’s generation had personally witnessed the ancestral grandmother of the Song Family turn the tide with her tactics.
He thought there might be so unexpected arrangents.
But now, the people sent by the Song Family to receive them had already been t.
So uncertainties in his heart had turned into certainties.
They were just two young n, which was a bit different from what he had expected.
At the very least, Leo didn’t see how these two people could change anything for the Roy Family.
However, what did they intend to do at the factory?
And why were they gathering all the chanics together? What did it an?
Leo was very conflicted now.
He had already stood firm for his beliefs until the last mont, with a clear conscience.
But turning to look at his anxious family, his eyes flickered.
He could face life and death with equanimity, but he couldn’t bear to see his children die like this.
Leo sighed lightly and said with an utmost serious tone, “Chuck, Luna, you’ve had your adult ceremony; you’re at the age where you can make decisions for your lives. You see the situation before us; to speak frankly… I too feel that our chances of surviving this war are not great. I can’t dictate your futures or ask you to trust my judgnt. But I will say this, I will hold out until the end. As for you, you may choose your own paths…”
With this statent, the three of them imdiately fell into silence, wrestling with the struggle in their eyes.
When the power of choice truly fell into their hands, they no longer knew how to make a decision.
Having spoken these words, Leo seed to have glimpsed a shattered future and heaved a long sigh, “I have already divided the family wealth, placed in the safe, and there is a share for each of you. Whatever your choice, I will not bla you. If you can survive, then live well…”
Saying this, he looked at his son and daughter, and his wife.
He knew his wife had never really looked up to him and was aware of her multiple lovers.
But marriages within noble families were always about interests; they were never about deep affections to begin with.
Still, he had these two children that he couldn’t let go of.
Perhaps…
Perhaps if soone could survive and leave…
The Roy Family would have a future.
Speaking of wealth, the heavily made-up wife seed to finally have a reason to leave, “Old Smith, it’s not that I don’t trust your judgent, I don’t trust the Song Family. I won’t die with those tal lumps and chanics either… Since you insist on staying, I know I cannot persuade you. Take care then.”
Saying this, she pulled the children to prepare to leave.
Though the youngest daughter was reluctant, she ultimately followed her mother.
Watching his wife, Leo reminded her one last ti, “I know you contacted the Wine Gang through your family. But my final word to you is to be careful. I don’t know what the situation is there, but my instinct tells that the smuggling route is definitely not that easy. In the face of desperation, human nature is the least trustworthy…”
The noblewoman didn’t speak, turning her head to leave.
The young man in a suit watched his mother and sister depart, and then looking back at his father who remained in place, he finally gritted his teeth and stayed, “I will stay with father!”
…
Elsewhere, outside a valley near Talon City.
There was an exit of the Underground Dark River.
This was once the secret smuggling route of the largest gang in Talon City, the “Wine Gang”, and now it had beco a lucrative way to smuggle people out of the city.
At this very mont, a group of people guarded the exit.
The Wine Gang boss, with a snake tattoo on his arm, was nodding and bowing to a group of soldiers, explaining sothing.
“Sir, we’ve received a ssage from the other side, in at most an hour there will be another batch of people sent over. This ti they are all rich tycoons from the city, they’re sure to have plenty of valuables…”
“Rest assured, the people we’ve caught here, I’ve had them send a ssage back to the city saying they’ve escaped safely. Even if there are suspicions, they have no other choice. Now, only those with enough ans to buy a smuggling ticket are the ‘big fat sheep’…”
“The city’s garrison was once led by ‘Federation’s Third chanical Division’s Marshal Roy, and so of Roy’s Family are also contacting our gang to smuggle out. Once we’ve caught a few of them, we’ll surely be able to extract so information for you…”
“…”
Hearing this, the grim smiles rippled across the faces of the hundred-strong battalion of soldiers.
If Leonard Churchill were here, he would have recognized these as the elite troops of the Tenth Legion of Iris.
