Chapter 1618: Chapter 932: Showdown in Lionheart City (Part 3)_2 Chapter 1618: Chapter 932: Showdown in Lionheart City (Part 3)_2 In order to protect the family, Harrisonâs execution of Kane and others was a reasonable action.
Thinking of this in their hearts, not only neutral family members, but even Terence, who had always questioned Harrison, now wore a doubtful expression on his aged face.
Even he could not determine whether Kane and the others had truly betrayed the family, but looking at Harrisonâs sure expression, it looked pretty certain.
Among the stunned crowd, only Kane and his closest followers still couldnât believe it all.
However, since they were so few in number, they didnât dare refute openly and had to quietly retreat to the side, looking utterly lost.
âAs expected of Harrison, a truly cunning man.â
Seeing Harrison brazenly find an honorable excuse for his deeds yesterday, even placing the blame on himself, Leo Ray frowned deeply.
Although they were one step behind, they had not exposed Harrisonâs wrongdoings earlier, but looking at Harrisonâs craftiness, even if Kane and the others had come forward first, they would still be labeled as traitors by Harrison.
Moreover, Leah, the only combat puppet who could not be detected by any Detection Barriers or other means, had secretly infiltrated the courtyard and confirmed that the Harrison on the open balcony was just an illusion, not the real person.
That meant, just as Kane had said, the real Harrison was indeed hiding in the heavily guarded family castle and controlling everything.
âHowever, it may not be a bad thing. Acting after the fact might be more effective than acting first, at least it wonât leave the elders like Kane and the others at a loss.â
Leo Ray narrowed his eyes, looking at Terence and others in the courtyard who still wore suspicious looks, and decisively informed Kane and the other elders to carry on with their planned actions.
As long as the elders like Kane came forward and objected, Harrisonâs plot would not succeed, after all, the prestige and integrity of those elders were well-known in the Sanders Family.
âHarrison, youâve accused innocent people like us of being traitors to the family. Such actions are hardly befitting of a family head, donât you think?â
An aged and solemn voice rang out. With Elusaâs illusion disguise removed, Kane and the other three elders appeared at the entrance to the courtyard, their faces stern.
Seeing unharmed figures of Kane and the other elders, a few of their loyal followers immediately rejoiced.
However, Harrisonâs supporters wore disdainful expressions, obviously already considering the four as traitors to the family.
As for the neutral family members caught between the two factions, they still looked uncertain about who had been causing trouble all along.
âHarrison, we four have devoted ourselves wholeheartedly to the family, yet you plotted to kill us. If we had not survived, you would have seized complete control of the family.â
With his aged voice resounding, Kane called out coldly, âThis is a well-planned conspiracy, and it has nothing to do with newcomer Princess Ariel.â
âNot only have you repeatedly violated family rules and tried to murder the elders, youâve even targeted Princess Ariel. Such reckless actions will only lead the Sanders Family to destruction!â
âFor your personal ambition, youâve brought the entire family to the brink of ruin, allying with ambitious forces to covet this land! Donât you know dancing with wolves will only lead to self-destruction?â
Kaneâs words grew more impassioned, his old eyes fixed on Harrison on the castle balcony, questioning, âHarrison, you are not worthy to be the Head of the Sanders Family!â
Hearing Kaneâs words, the neutral Terence and the others looked at Harrison and then at Kane, trying to discern something from both partiesâ expressions, but to no avail.
However, because of Kane and the othersâ act, some neutral family members who had initially supported Harrison were once again wavering in their opinions.
âLowly traitors have come forward of their own accord.â
Facing Kaneâs question, the illusion of Harrisonâs eyes swept over with a hint of surprise, but still maintained his indifferent demeanor.
The perceptive Harrison had already seen from Kane and the others daring to show up and addressing Ariel respectfully that these four damn old men had indeed joined the despicable Otherworldersâ camp!
At this thought, he saw Harrison forgo any explanation to Kane, and instead, a killing intent emerged, saying, âThen die!â
As Harrison spoke, the front entrance of the courtyard stirred with wind and clouds, and countless ice arrows emitting a chilling aura appeared out of thin air, shooting towards the four people, Kane and the others, from all directions.For a moment, a countless number of ice arrows filled the sky like a raging storm, with at least ten thousand in size, making the surrounding air cold and frost quickly forming on the ground. The temperature plummeted.
These ice arrows formed almost instantly, incredibly swift, not even giving Kane and the others any time to react, let alone any escape route.
Seeing this scene filled with deadly intent, Thomas and the others in the courtyard held their breath with serious expressions on their faces.
This was clearly a pre-set attack magic trap inside the family castle. Despite Kane and the others being Tier 4 Powerhouses, this magic trap meant for an army-level target could easily bury them in ice!
Just as Thomas and the others thought about this, the sound of breaking air, âwhoosh, whoosh, whoosh!â, resounded.
Kane and the others, without any time to react, were immediately enveloped by countless ice arrows.
Wherever the eye could see, there was nothing but a large amount of ice fragments splashing out, an overwhelming sight to behold.
âSigh, it seems that Kane and the other old fellows are going to die without a doubt.â
Thomasâs old eyes were filled with regret as he shook his head helplessly.
As for the loyal subordinates of Kane and the others, they went from hope to despair in an instant, with some even sitting paralyzed on the ground.
On the other hand, those who supported Harrisonâs cause started cheering and making a big fuss, beginning to flatter Harrisonâs stinky feet.
However, before they could continue their flattery for very long, their arrogant laughter abruptly stopped.
As the ice arrow attacks gradually subsided and the rising cold air began to dissipate, everyone was astonished to discover:
Kane and the other three old men were standing tall, and before them stood a formidable figure clad in white armor.
The White Knight merely waved his hand, and the energy barriers enveloping him and the four elders were dispelled, revealing the rich, various colors of the white armor, which shone brightly under the sunlight.
There was no need for further explanationâit was the White Knight, who had just equipped a full set of Tier 5 Nation-Preserving Equipment.
âIt looks like getting rid of Kane and the others wonât be that easy.â
Gazing at the dumbfounded expression on the faces of Harrisonâs flatterers, Leo Ray raised an eyebrow.
These four elders were essential to the control of the Sanders Family, and he would not let them suffer a single injury.
âItâs the White Knight?!â
Upon seeing the figure of the White Knight, Thomas and the others once again showed amazement.
It had to be said that this Nation-Preserving powerhouse, who was loyal to the Coldflame Royal Family, was indeed extraordinary.
Just as everyone was shocked at the White Knightâs appearance, Harrisonâs calm and composed voice was heard again.
âThe White Knight had joined Princess Arielâs camp on the battlefield earlier, and his appearance here speaks for itself.â
âThis is the best evidence that Kane and the others have betrayed the family and colluded with Princess Ariel!â
Harrisonâs voice grew more intense, clearly intending to lure out Leo Rayâs top powerhouse, exposing the true purpose of his attack just now.
âKane, no matter what you say now, itâs already too late.â
A cold smile flashed across Harrisonâs face, and he waved a hand and commanded: âWarriors of the Sanders family, now is the perfect opportunity to take down Kane and the other rebels!â
âAs long as you take down any one of them, you will have made great contributions to the family and become the new elder!â
With Harrisonâs words, even those neutral clansmen became stirred up and restless with anticipation.
