Son-In-Law Madness

“We were going to get the arms dealer, Aldrich, to deal with Jennifer. In the end, he and all of his subordinates were also killed by the mysterious man, leaving no witnesses. In other words, we have proven that Jennifer is being protected by someone very powerful behind the scenes. It's just that we don't know their identity yet. Now, who else among you still thinks that this is a walk in the park?”

Two divine-stage Mortal Realm experts of the Youngblood family have disappeared?

None of those present were fools. They clearly understood what going missing in Pollerton exactly meant.

Both of them were eliminated without a trace before they could even leave a clue behind.

After falling into a brief silence, Zane said to Draken, “Mr. Youngblood, I admit that I have underestimated the difficulty of this task. It has never crossed my mind that the Youngblood family has lost two divine-stage Mortal Realm warriors in Pollerton. That said, there's something I still can't figure out. Since two divine-stage Mortal Realm warriors are incapable of dealing with the mysterious figure behind Jennifer, won't it be suicide for us to assassinate Jennifer?”

“That's right. There seems to be something wrong with this mission assigned by the Youngblood family. Our enemy is clearly not fighting on a level playing field with us.”

Just a while ago, everyone had assumed that any one of them was capable of killing Jennifer.

However, when they began to shirk from the task upon hearing his words, Draken couldn't help but snort at their cowardice.

Nonetheless, the fact that they were still of use to him caused him to continue explaining patiently. “All the Youngblood family's plans are carefully curated and have no problems. Even though this operation is undertaken by the combined effort of the Ten Prestigious Families, our targets are different. Your target is indeed Jennifer, but mine is the person who's protecting her from the shadows.”

Upon hearing Draken's words, the other nine Stella Warriors exchanged glances with each other.

Marcel asked with a frown, “Are you saying that you're going to take on the warrior protecting Jennifer alone? Are you sure you can do it?”

Draken smiled. “You don't have to be concerned about me. All you need to do is remember that Jennifer is your sole target. As for the rest, there's no need to worry about it.”

Having been convinced by Draken, everyone nodded in acknowledgment and felt that they could accept the plan again.

After all, the only variable in it was the powerful warrior behind Jennifer.

As long as Draken was there to deal with the mysterious warrior, they had no problems continuing with their mission.

In the event Draken was killed, they would then choose to retreat instead.

Even though divine-stage Novem Stella Warriors were weaker than divine-stage Mortal Realm warriors, they figured that they were still capable of fleeing.

Just as the group was convinced that the plan was good, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the meeting room.
