His Lordship Alexander Kane

Chapter 0565 The Zadra family's ancestral hall was located in their backyard.

It was secluded and tranquil.

A figure cloaked in black, with a mask obscuring his face, sat silently on a bamboo mat at the center of the hall.

Before him rested a finely crafted jade zither, identical to the one in the Inkstone Mountain Pavilion, belonging to the Black Maple Organization's master.

"Kratos." Jackson approached the ancestral hall, cautiously eyeing his elder brother, whom he had admired since childhood. He spoke softly, "Franklin, in his youthful ignorance, committed a grave mistake involving the Eight-Armed Guardian—" His voice trailed off abruptly.

Kratos, his elder brother, was a peak

I stage Martial Overlord. Specifically, he was the Black Maple Organization's I master. He raised his hand, asking Jackson to spare the unnecessary words.

Then, hoarsely, he asked, "And him?" Franklin's body stiffened unexpectedly I behind Jackson. He collapsed on his knees and crawled desperately toward Kratos, repeatedly bowing his head and sobbing, "Uncle, I'm sorry. I know my mistake now!" "I just wanted to ease your worries by secretly dealing with Alexander. But Alexander proved to be too difficult to handle that even the Eight-Armed Guardian was defeated." He raised his head abruptly, as if grasping for the last straw, and yelled desperately, "Uncle, the Eight-Armed Guardian's death is valuable. He tried to use the Thunderfire Mother Pearl, but it had no effect. There could be a Lord of War behind the Kane and Foster

families!" a A Lord of War...

Kratos narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice like that of a night owl, sounding unusually hoarse. "You sent someone to ambush Caleb, resulting in Raidon's severe injury, and then you allowed the Eight-Armed Guardian to attack the Foster family. In the end, the Foster family is unharmed, but the Eight-Armed Guardian finds no rest in his death.

"Do you know what consequences this series of events will bring? "The Foster and Kane families will undoubtedly unite within three days.

Following Ywain Xanthos' death, Callie, the new leader, has grown closer to the Kane family. With this, the three major families will move forward and retreat together. Who else in the north can compete with them?" Who could contend with three major

families? bi Noone! I All the major powers in the north were I silently watching. Among the second- rate families was the Redwine family, led by Frank, who was secretly recruiting third-rate minor clans to swear allegiance to Alexander. They had formed a powerful alliance.

Until then, the three major families had been preparing to face each other. With Alexander's unique relationship and formidable strength, no force could compete with them anymore.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the north was no longer a fragmented feudal era; rather, they were dominated by the Kane family. The New Chesire Group's plan to enter the north was nearly complete! "When the three major families unite, it would be futile for me to intervene then,"

, Kratos said expressionlessly, staring coldly at Franklin kneeling before him.

I His voice was hoarse as he said, "Mastering the Zadra family's pinnacle secret technique will take at least half a month. Half a month is too long; we can't I afford to wait any longer.

"We can't wait. We must take shortcuts, end seclusion prematurely, strike first, and fight decisive battles against all three major families simultaneously to achieve our goal in one fell swoop. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Franklin, do you now understand what you must do?" Franklin felt as if he had fallen into an icy abyss, with a chill spreading from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet. His body appeared boneless, collapsing to the ground, unable to speak.

Of course, he knew what Kratos meant! The Zadra family's inherited martial arts secret technique used the power of life

I force to open the body's meridians, creating a second energy vortex in the I body and life force. That allowed one to harness twice as much power. Once successful, Kratos' strength could approach that of a true Lord of War, one step shy of the pinnacle! If he failed, he would have to rely on the pure blood of direct descendants of the Zadra family to break through their strength forcefully! "I wouldn't have needed anyone's blood if I had another half a month. Thanks to my secluded cultivation, I could have opened the second energy vortex then," Kratos said, his hands caressing the instrument.

Then, he told Franklin coldly, "You caused this calamity, so you must bear the consequences. I must leave seclusion early; your blood is required to do that.

"For the future of the Zadra family, you shall die as you deserve!"

Kratos raised his hand, plucking a string ~ from the zither and flicking it with his ) finger, ignoring the pale-faced Jackson beside him. a ' Swish! I The string shot out like an unstoppable steel needle, piercing Franklin's forehead with ease. A thin line of blood raced down the string, entering Kratos' finger and draining Franklin's body of all blood.

"It's almost done." After a dozen minutes, Kratos retracted the string without even glancing at Franklin's body.

He stared quietly at Jackson, speaking softly, "Inform Black Fang and White Fang to gather the forces and prepare to wage war against the three major families simultaneously! "And O1' Mare, too!"
