Upon witnessing Jared effortlessly break the arcane array, Jennifer felt a wave of relief wash over her.
“Catina, I’m entrusting these individuals to you. However, make sure to keep this old man alive. He still has his uses!” Jared glanced at Catina and instructed.
“Don’t worry. I assure you the task will be completed…” Catina’s lips curled up in a smile.
Having reached the Seventh level of Tribulator, Catina could easily annihilate these members of the Summers family if she wished. They were all merely at the Fifth level of Tribulator. Even if they joined forces, what could they possibly achieve?
When Vilhelm saw Catina leaping towards him, his eyes narrowed slightly.
“If we were to join forces, what does it matter if we face a Seventh Level Tribulator…” Vilhelm roared.
Catina gazed at the few people before her, scoffing coldly. “In all my life, I’ve despised people like you the most those who bite the hand that feeds them. Today, dying under my divine whip could be considered your fate…”
Suddenly, Catina lashed out with her whip, causing a flash of radiant light to shimmer into existence instantaneously!
Swoosh!
The whip moved as swiftly as lightning, emitting a crisp sound.
Vilhelm and his companions only saw a blur before their eyes. Before they could react, Catina’s whip had already arrived.
With a single lash, all four cultivators let out a horrific scream, their bodies instantly torn and bleeding.
Everyone was covered in blood.
Even though Catina had only whipped them once, these people reacted as if they had been subjected to severe torture, as if they had been whipped countless times.
The intense pain had the four individuals writhing on the ground incessantly. The sight was so dreadful that it sent shivers down Vilhelm’s spine.
On the other hand, Catina gave a cold laugh and once again drew out the whip in her hand.
Smack!
Another crisp sound rang out.
The four screaming cultivators abruptly ceased their cries. Their eyes were wide open as they were already dead. Upon witnessing this scene, Jennifer couldn’t help but feel pity for them.
“Ms. Summers, there’s no need to pity these traitors anymore. They will only lead your Summers family to irreversible ruin!” Jared tried to persuade Jennifer.
Jennifer nodded in agreement. She was well aware that under the current circumstances, the only way forward was to employ a forceful approach to intimidate the other members of the Summers family. By preventing them from causing trouble with Oscar, he alone wouldn’t be able to stir up any significant turmoil.
“Do you want to give it a try?” Catina glanced at Vilhelm and asked.
Vilhelm was dumbfounded. This wasn’t what he had anticipated. Initially, he had planned to trick these four individuals into stalling Catina while he made his escape to call for reinforcements.
However, unexpectedly, when Catina made her move, the four individuals didn’t even have the ability to retaliate.
Vilhelm fell silent, slowly lowering his head.
Upon seeing the situation, Jennifer stepped forward and said, “Mr. Vilhelm, where are my father and brother being held? Please take me there so I can free them. You’ve been with my father for so many years, so why would you help Uncle Oscar do such a thing? Do you realize the extent of the damage your scheme has caused to our Summers family? It’s not too late to turn back now. I will plead with my father to spare your life.”
Jennifer tried to persuade Vilhelm.
Jennifer didn’t want to continue this self- destructive conflict any longer. Otherwise, the strength of the Summers family would be greatly diminished.
Upon hearing Jennifer’s words, Vilhelm slowly raised his head. However, there was no regret in his eyes, only a hint of frostiness. “If your father were to continue as the head of the family, do you think our Summers family would still have a future?” he asked.
“I must inform you, Mr. Oscar has taken over as the head of the family and has already established contact with the Demon Seal Alliance. The Summers family is on the verge of becoming a subsidiary of the Demon Seal Alliance. By becoming a subsidiary, the Summers family would gain access to unlimited resources, as well as status and influence. No one would dare to disrespect the Demon Seal Alliance throughout the entire Celestial Realm. However, your father has repeatedly refused to cooperate with the Demon Seal Alliance. If we want the Summers family to thrive and succeed, we have no other option but to proceed in this manner!”
Vilhelm displayed no remorse whatsoever. He believed that his actions were justified, all in the interest of the Summers family’s prosperity.
