“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.

‘Did this Islander grow up drinking the fear of his enemies or something?

‘Is he afraid of nothing?!

‘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

The higher-ups felt a chill run down their spines after seeing that.

They finally realized that not everyone could just take the position of the branch’s head. Anyone in that position could die if not careful!

Kanae laughed coldly, then charged right at Mandy. Naturally, he was planning to grab another hostage.

Kanae’s expression turned awful. The moment he stepped back, three more bodyguards fell to the ground, paralyzed, as soon as he waved his hand again.

More than thirty bodyguards charged forward; these people had at least a bit of fighting e

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!
