1190: Chapter 463: Ghost Car Guard_2 1190: Chapter 463: Ghost Car Guard_2 Things have simply beco more convenient now.
That Tier-6 Demon lurking in the capital city is none other than Vincent.
The Five Founding Dukes only began to panic then.
Indeed, they possessed deep roots, but they had lived in peace for far too long, hence when they were suddenly confronted with the full-fledged assaults from the Horizon Bureau, their responses were flawed.
Relying on their own strength, they managed to hold on till now, but their impending defeat has shown.
Don’t forget, the agreent made between their five ancestors and the Great Ancestor Emperor was that as long as they did not commit any acts of rebellion, they would be granted eternal wealth and status.
Colluding with the Demon Clan is equivalent to rebellion!
The Five Founding Dukes were reluctant to back down, even indignantly believing that everyone couldn’t be blind, could they really not see that this was a conspiracy by Owen Bertram against the five families?
They tried to find so people to stand up for them to speak words of reason, and were shocked to discover that there wasn’t a single noble family or sect in the entire Wood Dynasty willing to speak on their behalf!
From investing in the Nanni Nation’s war to slave hunting in the Red Clan Barbarian Continent, Owen Bertram had practically tied all the elites of the Wood Dynasty to his chariots.
Indeed, everyone could see the truth behind this matter.
But if you’ve offended Owen Bertram, when he deals with you, we certainly will cheer for him.
Besides, all these years you’ve enjoyed a life of excess, which we also envy.
We don’t have the capability to punish you, but Owen Bertram does.
We naturally want to lend him a hand.
After all, it’s also wonderful just to follow Owen Bertram for any leftovers.
To be honest, at this stage, things have sowhat exceeded Owen Bertram’s expectations.
Before he took action, Owen Bertram guessed that a wolf pack scenario would co into play once he stepped back.
This situation has arrived ahead of ti.
Not only was the wolf pack incredibly large, but they all followed Owen Bertram’s lead unquestioningly!
Owen Bertram was now the leading tiger!
Owen Bertram only understood this afterward and laughed helplessly, “No wonder why our hastily executed plan had so many flaws, yet they were not only overlooked, they also seed to have been quietly redied by others…”
This was a tacit alliance between the elite families in the capital, working together with him.
But in just a few days, Owen Bertram couldn’t help but frown as this montum of a tiger leading a wolf pack was becoming increasingly fierce!
It got to the point where the wolves had begun to tear and bite wildly without needing the tiger to take the lead.
Owen Bertram felt like sothing was amiss.
After secretly inquiring about it, it turned out that there had been a crazy rumor circulating among the elites in the past few days: this operation was a test given by Owen Bertram.
If they wished to continue earning money under Owen Bertram, they had to show their dedication this ti!
Owen Bertram never intended this, but it was also inappropriate to clarify things openly, as it would lead to a swift retreat from everyone, eventually leaving him to face the Five Founding Dukes alone.
However, as a mber of the Horizon Bureau, Owen Bertram imdiately realized that soone was stoking the flas behind the scenes.
With a bit of investigation, he found the mastermind: Chancellor Ryan!
Owen Bertram was annoyed.
Didn’t Daniel know that he was being used as a pawn by him?
He chose a Night to sneak into Harriet’s Backyard to pay a “late-night visit”.
Although he “snuck in”, he did not conceal his aura.
Being on the Seventh Level himself, Harriet detected his presence imdiately and didn’t show any signs of embarrassnt for being caught doing sothing wrong.
He was hosting a banquet with his family in the front yard.
After taking a sip of wine, he made an excuse to leave.
Owen Bertram sat in Harriet’s Grand Chair with no hesitation and questioned, “What is the Chancellor’s intention?” Harriet, utterly candid, pointed at him and said, “Owen, you’re too timid.”
“Hmm?”
“Now that you’ve taken action against the Founding Dukes, why not finish them off for good?
These five parasites have been sucked the life out of the Wood Dynasty for tens of thousands of years, it’s ti to get rid of them once and for all!”
Owen Bertram understood imdiately.
Harriet was still the sa Harriet.
All his actions were for the sake of the Imperial Family.
The favor between the ancestors of the Five Founding Dukes and the Great Ancestor Emperor had long been exhausted, and the Imperial Family must have wished to take action against them for a long ti.
But they were honored nobles left by the Great Ancestor Emperor, it would be inappropriate for the Imperial Family to attack them directly.
This ti, after the Five Founding Dukes offended Owen Bertram, Harriet seized the opportunity and by eliminating these five families, the biggest beneficiaries could likely be the Imperial Family.
Owen Bertram couldn’t help but admire: “Your people are truly ruthless!”
Owen Bertram isn’t a saint either.
Officials who rose from the Horizon Bureau are never afraid of bloodshed.
The Five Founding Dukes wanted to marry his sister, but their intentions were not pure.
Owen Bertram planned to knock off all their stronghold power figures, not only significantly weakening the strength of the Five Founding Dukes’ houses but also directly slapping their faces.
This was already a brutal move.
But Owen Bertram wouldn’t go so far as to kill over this, even if he is furious.
The Imperial Family is far more ruthless, even ignoring the words of their own forebears for the sake of their own benefits.
Harriet remained unfazed, facing Owen Bertram’s accusations without any guilt or embarrassnt.
He thought he was the one in the right, he believed that everything he did was for the benefit of the entire Imperial Family, not out of selfishness.
Owen Bertram wanted to let him understand that exploiting him like this angered him!
But on second thought, it was pointless to tell this extremist such things, so Owen Bertram simply cut to the chase and took a large chunk of the cake: “Those hidden soldiers and private armies nurtured by the Five Founding Dukes over the years, I’ll take them.”
