Jared explained to Jennifer, “If we were to act against the Henningsen family now, I’m afraid your father and brother would be in danger. Let’s not provoke conflicts with the Henningsen family for now. They are unaware of the current situation in the Summers family. As long as your Uncle Oscar cooperates with us, we have a chance to rescue your father and brother.”
Surprised, Oscar exclaimed, “Cooperate with you? How could he possibly cooperate with Jared?”
“You can choose not to cooperate, but the consequence of such a decision will be enduring extreme pain and gradually succumbing to death. Do you want to continue experiencing what you just went through?” Jared asked Oscar.
Recalling the recent agonizing experience, Oscar felt his body shiver slightly, then he shook his head. “What do you want me to do?”
“You just need to divert the attention of the Henningsen family. Tomorrow morning, I will accompany you to the Henningsen family and find a way to rescue Mr. Summers,” said Jared.
Surprised, Oscar asked, “You’re coming with me? I can handle that myself. The Henningsen family only asked us to join the Demon Seal Alliance. They won’t give me trouble.”
Seeing Oscar’s naivety, Jared flashed a cold smile. “You’re too naive. If the Demon Seal Alliance had no ulterior motives, why would they take away Mr. Summers?”
Oscar remained silent. He didn’t know why Ilias had taken away his older brother.
Oscar had disclosed the location of the Summers family sanctuary to express his determination to join the Demon Seal Alliance to Ilias.
By doing so, the Summers family and the Henningsen family would become one.
Jared said, “Trick the Henningsen family and get them out of the way. If a real fight breaks out, casualties are inevitable. Do you really want to see the Summers family suffering numerous injuries and deaths?”
“I’ll go,” Oscar said and walked toward the front yard.
Jared followed closely, while Jennifer stayed in the courtyard.
At that moment, the exterior of the Summers residence had already been fortified as if facing a formidable enemy. Various arcane arrays were activated, and streams of light enveloped the Summers residence!
“Deactivate the arcane arrays!”
After Oscar arrived, he hurriedly instructed the Summers family members to deactivate the arcane arrays.
However, no one paid him any heed. They knew Oscar had become a traitor and was no longer the second in command in the Summers family.
Seeing this, Todd spoke. “Deactivate the arcane arrays.”
Hearing Todd’s words, the Summers family members finally deactivated the arcane arrays.
Soon, Oscar’s confidant, along with the elders of the Henningsen family, arrived at the entrance.
Oscar’s confidant was a bit surprised to see Oscar standing at the door with all members of the Summers family present, including Todd.
“Mr. Oscar, this…”
The confidant walked up to Oscar, puzzled.
“Have you arranged everything as I instructed?” Oscar asked.
The confidant replied, “Yes. It was handed over to Mr. Henningsen, who sent the elders here.”
Russell Floyd, the grand elder of the Henningsen family, approached Oscar and greeted, “Mr. Oscar.”
“Mr. Floyd, it’s really trouble for you to make this trip. Initially, I was afraid of opposition from the Summers family, so I specially sent someone to seek help from the Henningsen family leader. Now, all members of the Summers family support me, and they all want to join the Demon Seal Alliance. So, Elder, this trip was unnecessary. I’m sorry about this. To express my apologies, I would like to invite you to rest at my residence tonight. Tomorrow, I will host you properly,” Oscar said apologetically.
Upon hearing this, Russell smiled faintly and glanced at the members of the Summers family. “Mr. Oscar, there’s no need to be overly polite. As there are no problems within the Summers family, I will return and inform Mr. Henningsen.”
“That’s great. Please inform Mr. Henningsen that I will personally visit tomorrow to discuss the possibility of joining the Demon Seal Alliance,” Oscar replied.
“Absolutely!” Russell nodded and departed with his group.
