The chaos paused for a moment; many people glared hostilely at Kanae. The ninth branch would be in deep trouble if Reuben were to die.

The armed bodyguards took a deep breath; they took off the safeties of their guns and pointed them at Kanae’s weak spots, ready to fire at any time.

“Let Elder Reuben go!”

“You’re not worthy to hold Elder Reuben hostage!”

“If you don’t let him go, we’ll kill you right now!”

The higher-ups and bodyguards gathered their courage to speak.

Meanwhile, Reuben managed to calm himself down after a short moment.

“I don’t care who you are!

“But you should know that I’m an elder of the Jean family—one of the top ten families!

“If you lay even a single finger on me, no matter who you are or where you go, the Jean family will definitely end your entire family!

“Your ancestors will be burnt to a crisp as well!”

Elodie stood up, and mustered her courage to sp

“Even if I’m only a live-in son-in-law, I still belong to the family!

“Our pride is with the Jean family and the top ten families!

“We’d rather die than beg for our lives!”

Crack!

Before Harvey was done talking, Kanae snapped Reuben’s leg.

“You’re still running your mouth now?!” Kanae roared. 

Reuben was about to roll on the ground after all that immense pain; he didn’t think Harvey would be so ruthless as to torture him using another person.

The other higher-ups were shocked as well.

‘He’s fated to go against the entire family for crippling Elder Reuben like this!’

Harvey took a deep breath, as if he was starting to be swayed. He finally glanced at Elodie.

“I’ll offer myself as hostage.

“But on one condition!

“Let the woman go!”

Harvey pointed at Elodie.

“She’s the head o

“Take him down!”

Reuben waved his hand. At that very moment, a few of the Jean family’s bodyguards pulled out their firearms and aimed at Harvey.

To them, as impressive as Harvey was, he couldn’t be able to beat a firearm no matter how impressive he was.

“Harvey, look out!”

Xynthia instinctively pounced in front of Harvey.

Just then, three darts flew right at Harvey from the back.

He rolled on the ground, taking Xynthia in his arms, dodging the attack successfully.

Pew, pew, pew! 

The darts landed on the bodyguards with firearms; they covered their necks, and ended up lying on the ground, looking miserable and completely paralyzed.

Their faces turned black instantly; the darts were poisoned. Before the bodyguards could come to their senses, a coroner wearing a mask waved his hand.

He threw his toolbox forward, knocking a few more bodyguards to the ground.

The coroner pounced r
