Chapter 666: Surrender Peacefully And You Will Not Be Hurt
"Cheers for the Ainsworth's Family's good fortune!"
""Cheers!""
Jas drank the wine in his glass with a happy expression.
Right now, he was in one of the residences of the Ex-Ruling Families and they were having a feast in his honor.
The Patriarchs of the different families all looked at Jas with smiles on their faces. Right now, they were sneering in their hearts because William's grandfather was a gullible person. As long as they sang his grandson praises, the old man would grin like he was on top of the world.
What the Patriarchs' didn't know was that Jas was also sneering inside his heart. While he was keeping the idiots company, Ezio was already busy emptying the coffers of their treasuries.
Jas' faithful subordinate had completed his investigation a day before the old coot had made his announcent at the Plaza. Their plan was to bring out those who had evil intentions towards William by using Jas as bait.
"Lord Jas, once you are reunited with your grandson, your prestige will definitely soar towards the sky like a dragon in flight," Waltier, the Patriarch of the Agnis Family, said with a smile.
"Well, my boy, William has always been filial," Jas replied with a smug expression on his face. "I'm sure that he'll allow to manage a floor or two if I ask him nicely."
"Such a filial grandson, you're very lucky to have him, Lord Jas."
"Indeed. I wish I also have a grandson like William. He will bring good luck to the family."
"With Sir Jas' majestic presence, I'm sure that his grandson is definitely a good looking person. I can tell with just a glance that you were a lady killer, Lord Jas, when you were still in your young years."
Jas laughed and nodded his head in agreent. Right now, he found the Patriarchs' very cute, and decided to humor them a bit.
"Hahaha! Indeed. I was a lady's man back then." Jas nodded his head. "My grandson managed to inherit my genes, I feel sorry for him because he will be a lady magnet just like ."
The Patriarchs looked at Jas with fawning gazes. However, deep inside, they wanted to drown him in spit. If not for the fact that they needed him to use against William, they wouldn't waste their ti in buttering him up like a VIP guest.
The feast lasted for three hours, and Jas had his fill of eating and drinking. It was also at that mont when he received a telepathic ssage from Ezio.
"Sir, everything has been settled," Ezio said.
"Did you take everything?" Jas inquired.
"Yes. the only thing I didn't take were their clothes."
"Excellent!"
Jas grinned like a wolf as he stared at the Patriarchs who were fawning at him. He didn't plan to show any rcy to those that had evil intentions towards his family. Regardless of who they are, as long as they targeted his family, they would all et a miserable end in his hands.

The next day…
Several n holding weapons barged inside Jas' room.
After the feast ended, Jas returned to the inn where he and Vlad were staying. Although the Patriarchs had invited him to stay with them for the night, he politely declined their offer with the excuse that he would be climbing the tower the next day to et with William.
"Who are you people?" Jas asked as he stifled a yawn. "Don't you know that it's rude to barge into soone else's room while they are sleeping?"
"Shut up, Old Man! You're coming with us!" the leader of the n answered.
Jas scratched his head as he stared at the leader.
"Why are you shouting? I'm not deaf. I can hear you perfectly."
"Co with us and do not resist if you know what is good for you. Of course, if you want to get hurt, we are more than willing to oblige."
Jas laughed because it had been a while since soone had dared to threaten him. No one in the Southern Continent had the guts to do it, but as soon as he entered the Central Continent, soone actually dared to bully him.
"What will you guys do if I refuse?" Jas asked. He was looking at the ard warriors with an amused expression on his face.
The leader snorted as he raised his hand. "Since you refuse to cooperate then we won't hold back and make you understand what it's like to cross the ruling families of the Tower of Babylon!"
Two minutes later…
Cries of pain could be heard on the streets in front of the inn. The n who had threatened Jas earlier were now writhing in pain because their arms and legs were broken. The leader of the group had it worse because Jas had broken all of his limbs.
Ever since Jas had made his announcent in the Plaza, it was not only the Ex-Ruling Families that had been keeping an eye on his movents.
Adventurers, bounty hunters, rcenaries, and several other elite warriors that had been hired by influential people were keeping tabs in everything he did. The envoys of the different Empires of the Central Continent that had been dispatched towards the Tower had also caught wind of Jas' na.
Since these people wanted to curry favor with William, they intended to form good relationships with any mber of his imdiate family.
They had already known that a group of ard n, who belonged to the forr ruling families, were planning to capture Jas. Their plan was to co to his rescue at the right mont, in order to gain his good graces and gratitude.
Unfortunately, they were not aware of Jas' true identity. They thought that he was only an old man that was lured by his grandson's success, and intended to profit from William's accomplishnts.
The scene in front of the inn made them re-evaluate Jas and their impression of him changed completely.
"We should have known that you were not an ordinary old man," Janos, the Patriarch of the Moreau Family, said with his arms crossed over his chest. "However, your futile attempt ends here."
Jas glanced in the direction of the Patriarchs, who had prepared a feast for him several hours ago. All of them looked back at Jas with angry expressions on their faces. If not for the fact that one of the sons of the Agnis Family visited their treasury to get so gold, they would have never discovered that their coffers had been emptied.
Waltier imdiately felt that sothing was fishy, so he imdiately contacted his compatriots. It didn't take long for all of them to discover that they had been robbed clean.
Their first suspect was Jas. But, since the old man had been with them for the entirety of the night this suspicion didn't last long. They had sent n to monitor him, and of them reported that the old man had left the inn since he returned last night.
Without any leads on the thief that had ransacked their treasuries, the Patriarchs' decided to push through with their plan earlier than previously discussed. They unanimously agreed to kidnap Jas and send a ssenger to the Tower to tell William that they were holding his grandpa hostage.
Jas placed his hands behind his back as he stared at the encirclent that was slowly forming around him.
The Ruling Families had called up their big guns, which were High-Rankers that were equivalent to a Saint Class Warrior in their initial stages.
Vlad stood beside Jas with his arms crossed over his chest. Deep inside he was sighing because his companion had once again poked the hornet's nest and was using him to clean up the old man's ss.
"Surrender peacefully and you will not be hurt," Waltier said with an arrogant tone. "This is your last warning."
Jas started picking his nose with his finger as he scanned the High-Rankers that surrounded him.
"Forty Pseudo-Saints, not bad." Jas said as he rubbed his right index finger and thumb together.
Without warning, he flicked the small ball of mucus towards one of the High-Rankers which hit the latter directly on his forehead, sending him flying a few ters from where he originally stood.
"One down," Jas announced before laughing out loud.
The expression of the Patriarchs' as well as the spectators watching the scene imdiately changed. However, it didn't end there.
Vlad finally unleashed a terrorizing aura that announced his identity as a Demigod.
It was at that exact mont, when the Patriarchs' of the once glorious families in the Tower of Babylon, knew that they F*cked up.
