"But I can't release that woman now!"
Jenna bit her lip and said.
"Why can't you release her?"
Samuel was taken aback, his expression puzzled.
"Kidnapping that girl was a decision from the higher-ups at Rockefeller. We were just following orders. If I release her without authorization, I'd be betraying Rockefeller. Our Lester family might even face extermination!"
Jenna exclaid emotionally.
"Sigh..."
Samuel sighed and furrowed his brows upon hearing this. He then spoke in a resigned tone, "Actually, I didn't agree with you joining Rockefeller back then, but you were already the head of our Lester family. Since you had made up your mind, I couldn't oppose you. Now, it seems that trouble has co."
"Grandfather, you should know that even though our Lester family cos from a background of ancient martial arts, we haven't produced any other Black-rank martial artists except for you. So, our position in Honduria has been very precarious. Moreover, you chose to go into seclusion. If I hadn't joined Rockefeller, our Lester family might have been divided among other major clans by now. My actions were also to ensure the survival of our Lester family's legacy."
Jenna's expression was full of excitent as she continued, "Grandfather, without Palr's help over these years, could our Lester family still have maintained such prosperity?"
"It has indeed been difficult for you over these years."
Samuel sighed softly and spoke helplessly.
"Grandfather, this is the best opportunity for our Lester family. Although Connor's strength is terrifying, he's currently heavily injured. If you can kill Connor, it would be a huge advantage for our Lester family. We might even be able to replace the Bander family's position!"
Jenna seized the opportunity to persuade.
"Replace the Bander family's position?"
Samuel was taken aback upon hearing this.
"Grandfather, I know that you've always wanted our Lester family to beco the number one clan in Honduria. Now, the opportunity is right in front of us. You must seize it!"
Jenna continued to insist.
After a mont of hesitation, Samuel said in a low voice, "Fine, fine. Perhaps this is fate. Let this old man lend a hand once again!"
"Great! Grandfather, you're finally willing to take action!"
Jenna's face was filled with excitent upon hearing Samuel's agreent.
For her, everything was riding on Samuel's actions. If he could kill Connor, Jenna would replace Palr, and the Lester family would replace the Bander family. This opportunity was truly rare and valuable in her eyes.
"Take to et this Connor."
Samuel sighed softly and began walking toward the door.
A little while later, Samuel and Jenna arrived outside the cabin, just as Connor happened to arrive.
Seeing Samuel next to Jenna, Connor couldn't help but chuckle and said lightly, "I was wondering why you ran in this direction. So, you went to fetch reinforcents, huh?"
"Connor, the person you're looking for isn't here. You better leave quickly, or don't bla for being rude!"
Jenna glared at Connor with her watery eyes.
"If the person I'm looking for isn't here, then why did you run? Besides, Palr has already given up resistance. I don't think he'd lie to . He told the woman is at our Bander family. So, why did you run?" Connor replied with a faint smile.
Samuel sized up Connor and said calmly, "Young man, Youling didn't lie to you. The person you're looking for is indeed not here at our Lester family. It's best if you leave now."
After casting a glance at Samuel, Connor replied expressionlessly, "I'm not in the mood to waste ti with you all. As long as you hand over Yelena, I'll let everything that happened before slide. But if you're not planning to cooperate, then I'll have to resort to so other thods."
"Our Lester family is not a place where you can cause a scene. Let warn you one last ti. If you don't leave, don't bla for being impolite!"
Samuel warned Connor in a low voice.
"Being impolite? What difference does that make?"
Connor chuckled upon hearing Samuel's words and said lightly, "Old man, how impolite you are won't change anything."
"Young man, today I'll show you that our Lester family isn't easy to ss with!"
Samuel was well aware that a battle was inevitable today. Thus, he didn't waste any more words and charged toward Connor's direction.
Seeing Samuel approaching, Connor's expression turned slightly tense.
After all, his body hadn't fully recovered yet, so he wasn't sure if he could match Samuel's strength.
Samuel's right hand transford into a palm as he struck directly toward Connor's chest.
However, Connor didn't choose to dodge. He stood his ground without moving.
But in the next second, a figure rushed to Connor's side and launched a punch toward Samuel.
"Boom!"
A loud sound rang out.
Samuel was pushed back several steps, while the person in front of Connor remained motionless.
"Junior Sect Leader, sorry for being late!"
The elderly man in front of Connor turned to him and spoke softly after blocking the punch.
"Second Elder, you didn't leave?"
Connor expressed surprise.
Connor knew that the Second Elder of the Purple Cloud Sect had arrived, so the person in front of him had to be the Second Elder.
"Young Sect Leader, you haven't left Honduria safely yet. Naturally, I couldn't leave either..."
The Second Elder replied with a smile.
"Thank you, Second Elder."
Connor said with a faint smile.
For him, the arrival of the Second Elder was undoubtedly a tily assistance.
"Who are you? Don't ddle in our affairs!"
Jenna, looking at the elderly man in front of Connor, asked with an agitated expression.
"I am the Second Elder of the Purple Cloud Sect."
The old man replied in a calm tone.
"You're from the Purple Cloud Sect?"
Samuel's expression showed even more shock upon hearing this.
Samuel had so past interactions with the Purple Cloud Sect's mbers.
