Just as Alexander spoke, Timothy suddenly received a phone call from his eldest son, Marvin. Timothy stepped aside to take the call.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn the other end of the call, Marvin's voice was dejected as he said, "Dad, the officials have also canceled their attendance." Timothy's eyelid twitched violently. "What about the Petro family?" he asked urgently.
The other families could cancel on them, but the Petro family had toe. They boasted a five-star general and two Profound Oriental Realm experts. The Klein family needed their support.
"The Petro family hasn't said anything," Marvin replied.
Timothy ended the call with a grim expression.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHaving overheard the conversation, Alexander's eyes narrowed as he said, "The wise adapt to the times. I believe the Petro family will consider their stance carefully." At the old Petro Residence, the family's four pillars were seated around a stone table in the courtyard, discussing the situation. Henrik, the eldest, sipped his tea serenely. His gaze occasionally swept across the faces of his three younger brothers.
"My suggestion is to watch from the sidelines," said Frederic.
Finnegan calmly responded, "The Klein family's residence isn't that far away from us. We interact with them frequently. If we offend Alexander, they might be difficult to deal with in the future." Alberic spoke up and said, "I support Finnegan's idea. The Klein family has four Profound Oriental Realm experts. Building a good relationship with them would be extremely beneficial for our family." Frederic narrowed his eyes and asked, "But what if Nash destroys the Petro family?" "That's impossible!" Alberic retorted, looking at Frederic with derision. "Do you even know how powerful a Profound Oriental Realm expert is? Do you know how many of them you can find across the nation? "As far as I know, the government only has four Profound Oriental Realm experts, and now, with Anton gone, there are only three left. Meanwhile, the Klein family has four. Their martial strength alone can rival the whole nation's. Do you understand now?" Frederic shook his head in resignation. "I only know that there are always greater powers beyond. For Nash to reach such heights at such a young age indicates that he possesses significant fortune and potential." With that, he stood up and clasped his hands behind his back. He walked toward the courtyard's exit. Pausing at the door, he continued "You all underestimate Nash. The state capital has already made their stance clear. It doesn't matter if Nash wreaks havoc in Capiton, they'll still fully support him!" en.kikistories Henrik's brows furrowed slightly at that. Finnegan and Alberic were also momentarily stunned.
Then, Henrik said, "Looks like the state capital has long wanted to eliminate the Klein family. They just weren't able to find the right opportunity until now." Finnegan's eyes narrowed into slits. "Nash is a descendant of the Young family. The Klein family wiped them out, so Nash will destroy them as revenge. As themander of the Celestial Dragon Squadron, it be a win for everyone if he can eliminate the Klein family. en.kikistories "If he dies at the Klein family's hands, however, the country will use all their power to destroy them." "I don't believe Nash can destroy the Klein family, nor do I believe the country will go to great lengths to annihilate the Klein family for Nash's sake," Alberic responded indifferently.
He looked at his eldest brother with deep, contemplative eyes. "If four Profound Oriental Realm experts work together, they'll have the destructive power equivalent to that of a nuclear weapon, no?" Henrik put down his teacup and sighed helplessly. "Let Nalakov attend the banquet." Finnegan's mouth twitched slightly. "Henrik, Nalakov is still young. Aren't you just pushing him into the fire?" Henrik shot Finnegan a glance. "This will be a good opportunity to test him." The Bono Hospital in Capiton was a private hospital owned by the Petro family. It was open only to the Petro family and other prestigious families. Not only was it equipped with the most advanced medical equipment in the world, but it also boasted top medical experts from over 20 countries. en.kikistories In the VIP ward, Nalarov was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling while several beautiful nurses flitted about at his side.
