Chapter 269
Chapter 269 Secret Order
Old Craven was unwilling to give up and headed to a place with the group of old fellows from the boxing family.
On the way, Jeremy's expression was listless. He was still in shock from being beaten up by Queal in just a
few moves.
He was the heir of the Willsmith family, one of the boxing families. His talent was one of the best in the boxing world. How could he not be able to defeat a mere guard from the Lockwood family? Jeremy was starting to doubt his life.
Old Willsmith glanced at him and snickered. "What? Are you hurt? Do you know how powerful the Lockwood family is now?" However, Jeremy's focus was not on the main point. He asked, "Grandpa, that guard is powerful, but what does that mean?' "What does it mean? Hmph, you want to know? Then I'll tell you. It means that any member of them can easily defeat you!" Jeremy was stunned!
His eyes widened as he stared at his grandfather in disbelief.
Old Craven said, "Old Willsmith, don't provoke Jeremy so much."
Then, he said to Jeremy, "Jeremy, don't listen to your grandpa. He's only half right. The Big Dipper's guards were chosen from the Expendacle Camp. Their physique has been modified and specially trained. It's different from our normal cultivation. Although the Lockwood family's Big Dipper is powerful, their bodies have already been overdrawn. In a few years, the disadvantages will appear. However, our boxing will only become stronger and stronger. It's nothing for you to lose to them."
Jeremy said, "Even so, the Lockwood family's Big Dipper is really impressive."
"Of course, they're powerful. Big Dipper is only a part of the Lockwood family. Lockwood family's influence is huge," Old Willsmith said.
Old Craven continued, "However, if we can obtain the correct usage of the crystal potion in the crystal experiment and successfully obtain the final results, we will become stronger and healthier than them. We might even achieve eternal youth."
Jeremy gasped. "Crystal potion... Is it that powerful?"
"Hmph, of course. Therefore, we have to get rid of Isabella. With her around and the Big Dipper protecting her, it's not good for us," said Old Craven. Jeremy asked again, "Who are we going to see now?"
Old Craven said, "Of course, I'm going to meet the only person who can influence the Big Dipper other than the patriarch and the patriarch's wife." Not long after, they arrived in front of a villa.
This villa was located in a secluded suburb. The surroundings were beautiful, and the air was fresh. It was an excellent place to live and recuperate. An elderly was cultivating in the villa's courtyard.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Old Craven went to greet him and said, "Friend, can you come out and meet me?"
The man looked up and saw a group of people outside the gate. He stopped cultivating and walked towards the gate happily.
"Old Craven, Old Willsmith, Simon, Hank! I can't believe it's you guys! Why didn't you tell me you're coming in advance?"
The elderly was obviously very happy.
His voice was so loud that it startled the people in the room.
Ares and Theo walked out together. Ares said to the man, "Dad, do we have guests?"
Ares's expression was gloomy, and even his voice was sinister.
Theo did not say anything.
The elder's name was Questin, and he was the former leader of the Lockwood family's Expendable Camp
Although he was a former leader, he still had some influence on the Lockwood family's Expendable Camp Quentin let Old Craven and the others in and chatted happily
"Ares, Theo, these are my old friends. They are all top figures in the boxing world. Black then...
Quentin started talking non-stop.
By the time he finished speaking, the group had already sat on the sofa in the living room
Only then did Old Craven and Old Willsmith say they had a request.
Quentin said, "I knew you old fellows wouldn't come to me for no reason. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Quentin was very bold.
Ares and Theo didn't say anything. It was rare for their father and grandfather to be in such a good mood, so they didn't want to disturb him.
Old Craven said, "This might sound somewhat presumptuous, but Isabella is too much. She actually chased us out of the laboratory. We only asked her to send Draxton off for the last time. Old Quentin, you know that once the crystal potion has entered Draxton's body, he doesn't have much time left. However, looking at Isabella's behavior, it seemed like she wanted to replace her husband's place. Although this is the Lockwood family's family matter, with all due respect, the Lockwood family is letting her be. Old Quentin, you have to step in!"
Quentin was not stupid. He snorted and said, "Tell me, are you trying to complain about Isabella to take charge of the laboratory?"
Old Craven also admitted, "That's right. We indeed had such thoughts, but she's taking over her husband's place and controlling the Big Dipper. Old Quentin, are you really not going to care?"
Quentin said, "Hmph. Of course, I have to take care of this. Draxton doesn't have much time left, but she's not even trying to put on an act and is starting to take over power. Does she think she can take the Lockwood family's power so easily? I don't know what the previous patriarch and Philip are thinking. They actually don't
care."
Old Craven and Old Willsmith looked at each other. A triumphant smile appeared in their eyes.
Quentin continued, "However, I don't care about the Expendable Camp now. Although I still have a certain. influence on the Expendable Camp, the Expendable Camp will still listen to Theo in the end." He looked at his grandson.
Old Craven and the others also looked at Theo, praising him for being young and promising and not losing. out on Quentin's demeanor back then.
Theo looked at them expressionlessly and said, "Gentlemen, it's useless even if you praise me. I am the patriarch's man. The patriarch's will is my will."
Old Craven and the others' expressions froze. "Theo, we didn't ask you to go against the patriarch's will."
Theo answered coldly. "The patriarch and his wife are one. You guys complained about the patriarch's wife. before me, and I haven't said anything about that yet."
Old Craven and the others' eyes twitched as they looked at Quentin.
Quentin also looked at his grandson in dissatisfaction and scolded angrily, "Theo, why don't you know how to be flexible? That patriarch's wife clearly has a change of heart and wants to harm Draxton." Theo glanced at his grandfather and said, "The patriarch gave me a secret order."
After a pause, he continued, "If he's not around one day, or if something happens and he can't command us, we'll follow the patriarch's wife's will. Now that something has happened to the patriarch, we are the patriarch's wife's people."
Then, he looked at Old Craven and the others before saying solemnly, "You guys complained about the patriarch's wife before me. For the sake of Grandpa, I won't hit you."
