The Enigmatic Return (Nancy’s And Roxanne )

Chapter 1242

Kiss

Owain sneered, “Have you all forgotten? That day, Colin openly challenged Matthew, demanding that he expel the Jennings family from the guild. Although Matthew argued a bit, what was the outcome? He still obediently followed Colin’s words!”

The leader of Lordsworth Estate can make the vice president of Bartitsu Guild compromise. Who can’t see which way the balance of power is tilting between the two forces? Judging from this election, Bartitsu Guild, except for the Gordon family, was completely defeated. They should know that Lordsworth Estate has clearly risen above Bartitsu Guild! Even if Lordsworth Estate really sends people to our guild’s territory to deal with us, the guild will either be unaware or choose to ignore it. After all, they would never go to great lengths to confront Lordsworth Estate just because of a mere Jennings family!”

Upon hearing these words, the faces of everyone present turned pale. A sense of shock and fear filled every corner of the hall.

“So what should we do… Can we still escape now?”

“Run, run quickly, get out of here, I don’t want to die here!”

“That despicable girl, Stella, if it weren’t for her, how could we have fallen so low? Even if I die, I won’t let her off as a ghost!”

Owain remained unmoved. “Run? Where could you possibly run to? With so many people in the Jennings family, if you were to flee, wouldn’t such a commotion be noticed by others?”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“So what do we do? We can’t just sit here and wait to die!”

Upon hearing this, Owain fell into a thoughtful silence, followed by a burst of cold laughter.

“Death? Do you really think death comes that easily? Do you think Lord will let us off the hook just like that?”

“What else do they want?”

“Judgment Island, have you heard of it?”

Upon hearing these words, the room instantly fell silent.

Judgement Island-a place known to all in Phison.

It was a solitary island on the outskirts of Phison, governed by the neutral faction.

All the serious offenders were confined there, most of whom were individuals guilty of the most heinous crimes.

Even though the neutral faction was in control, it was not difficult for Lordsworth Estate to plant some people inside.

And there, it was a place you could only enter but never leave, a veritable earthly purgatory. Once inside, every day was filled with unbearable torment, a place of extreme terror.

In the hall, everyone now fully understood their future fate, and a deathly silence permeated the surroundings.

Seeing that no one was making a fuss anymore, Owain solemnly said, “Now you understand why I had to send all the younger members of our family away, don’t you? We can’t escape, we can’t choose to die, and we can’t live well. From now on, our lives will be spent on Judgement Island.”

“The Jennings family cannot just end like this. How can we face our ancestors otherwise? We must carry on the legacy of our family! I’ve already sent people to make arrangements. The children of the elders have all been sent away, the further from Phison, the better!”

Someone began to sob quietly, another’s face turned ashen, while yet another seemed to have lost their soul, their mind in disarray.

Owain glanced over, heaved a deep sigh, and chose not to engage any further. He turned his attention to handling the matter at hand.

But he had calculated everything yet miscalculated the initiative of Lordsworth Estate.

Just as he was about to put his son in the car, suddenly, countless people in black swarmed from all directions. Numerous black sedans also appeared, completely surrounding the entire Jennings family mansion, leaving no room for escape.

The following day, at the crack of dawn, news that the Jennings family had been completely wiped out sent shockwaves throughout the entire Phison.

“I heard that the Jennings family wanted to send their younger generation away to avoid trouble. But they weren’t as quick as Lordsworth Estate. They all ended up being escorted to Judgment Island!”

“My goodness, being sent to the Judgement Island is worse than death itself. It’s even more ruthless than wiping out the entire Jennings family. The way Lordsworth Estate operates is both swift and ruthless.”

“Such a big incident happened last night, but why hasn’t the guild made any move? Lordsworth Estate even brought a large group of people to arrest someone on our guild’s territory!”

“D*mn, what’s the fuss about? Just pretend we don’t know anything. The guild isn’t foolish enough to risk a real fight with Lordsworth Estate over the insignificant Jennings family.”

“Speaking of which, why is Lordsworth Estate so nitpicky? They’ve already taken the life of the Jennings family’s head, yet they’re still relentless. Is it all because of the new head of the Gordon family?”

“Who knows…”

As people were engrossed in heated discussions, another piece of blockbuster news came out.

It turns out that not only the Jennings family but also the families who allied with them; participated in the use of firearms, and acted against the Gordon family were severely punished by the neutral faction, weakening their families’ power.

This incident indeed sparked a huge uproar.

These past few days, those families who once allied with the Jennings family had been extremely cautious, not even daring to step out of their doors for fear of being implicated.

But now, they were still implicated.

Suddenly, these families regretted their actions.
