Chapter 2842
Wilbur did not want to be someone who relied on such treacherous tactics, so he had always adhered to his rule. However, Dubond had crossed the line. The Robert family had begged for mercy, but Dubond refused to relent. There was also no deep-seated hatred between the two families.
Dubond got what he deserved at that point.
The courtyard was left in ruins after the fierce battle. Liam, who had been hiding and observing from the shadows, finally stepped out with excitement as the fight concluded. He looked at Dubond's lifeless body and exclaimed with glee, "I can't believe Dubond is dead. Ha! That arrogant fool. Trevor, you saved the Robert family. I must repay you properly! Tell me, what would you like? I'll grant it to you if it's possible."
Wilbur looked at Liam and smiled slightly. He replied, "Lord Liam, what I want was given to me by Mister Layton. Don't worry, I won't leave before I resolve the Robert family crisis."noveldrama
Liam emotionally knelt and said, "Please accept my respect, Mister Trevor."
Wilbur quickly dragged Liam up from the ground and said, "No, Lord Liam. You're the noble head of the family, you can't easily kneel to others."
"It's great that the Robert family is saved this time!" exclaimed Liam sentimentally.
Meanwhile, the talisman cultivator, who had been hiding in the shadows, left the Robert family and returned to the Andrew family estate. He went to the study and reported the events to Bruno.
Bruno held an ancient spellbook. He scoffed and said, "I understand. Dubond is an arrogant fool. I suspected his intentions as soon as he arrived. He wanted to destroy the Robert family using us and also hoped that Stilwell and Lawson would be heavily injured or killed in battle, thus weakening the Andrew family. It's evident that Dubond was not a trustworthy ally. His death is actually a blessing in disguise. He would have turned against the Andrew family in the future if he had lived. The Robert family, which had never offended the Warren family, was still targeted by Dubond for elimination. If Dubond could attempt to destroy them, how could he ever tolerate the Andrew family, which was on par with the Warren family?"
"You're right, sir, but Trevor Penn is too powerful. If we leave him be, I'm afraid that the Robert family will eventually destroy the Andrew family. Sir, how about you issue an order for ten talisman cultivators from the Andrew family to eliminate Wilbur together?" the talisman cultivator suggested.
Bruno looked at Cole and asked, "Is that how you feel? A family seeking to establish itself in chaotic times relies not on endless slaughter, but on the character and morality of its people. According to what I know, Trevor Penn was moved by Layton's loyalty and righteousness, which is why he was willing to help the Robert family. It is unlikely for a person who values loyalty and righteousness to be a bloodthirsty and arrogant cultivator. Let's wait and see. Issue my command to all talisman cultivators, no incidents are to arise in the next ten days." "Sir, what should we do if Trevor Penn comes to trouble us?" Cole asked.
"I will face him myself if he comes, but my guess is that he won't."
Bruno was not a cultivator who was fond of battling. The alliance with the Warren family was merely a matter of necessity. Conflicts within the nine major families would inevitably result in several different factions, after all. The families that had no alliance at that point would become the weakest and the target of everyone's hostility.
If that were the case, even if the Andrew family did not face destruction, it was likely that all of their talisman cultivators would be killed. Bruno had no choice but to form an alliance with Dubond to protect the Andrew family and the talisman cultivators.
Moreover, Bruno understood Liam's intentions clearly. He felt like as long as both families remained calm, Liam would surely come to negotiate after ten days, hoping that the two families could form an alliance to support and assist each other in the future.
