“We’re probably already in the crosshairs of the Erudian government. It’s going to be risky if we target Levi now.”
Black Phoenix agreed. “We should work sowing discord between him and the Four Great Families.”
“You got it.” The smile on Kuro Dragon’s face was filled with gleeful vengeance. “We need to put the plan into action as soon as possible, though. After this is done, we can leave Erudia for good. Prince William has already granted The Avengers eighteen islands, a colony, and the titles of noblemen. There’s nothing the Euradian government can do after we leave here.”
“Don’t worry,” Black Phoenix said confidently. “I know exactly what to do.”
Over the next three months, the Four Great Families established their presence in the society, having gained control of all the other influential families and clans in Erudia.
Shaun and his gang could access the most prestigious clubs and places of gatherings in the country. They made acquaintances with members of the Great Families of Forstford and Southford.
As their social circles widened, they became increasingly arrogant, thinking themselves as the top one percent of the population in the country.
They looked down on everyone else. Even if Levi were to become the God of War, they would not have taken him any more seriously than they did currently. Likewise, they were also now holding Morris Group cheap.
Whenever someone spoke of Levi, Shaun would scoff in disdain. “He’s nothing but a piece of trash.”
They indulged in the privileges with blitheful glee, lording the fact that they belonged to the Great Family of Westford over others while ignorant that Levi was the one who owned the family.
Recently, however, the Four Great Families was under fire by a mysterious attacker.
Seven from the Great Family of Frostford suddenly went missing; their bodies were found only several days later.
Their deaths marked the beginning of a slew of killings. Seventeen from the Great Family of Westford, including nine who were ranked God-class, were brutally murdered. Meanwhile, the body of an Ultimate-class warrior from the Great Family of Southford was discovered in a ditch, and thirty-four members of the Great Family of Eastford were found floating in the sea.
The attacks gradually worsened as time passed.
An entire clan under the Great Family of Frostford was wiped out overnight.
A family belonging to the Great Family of Westford was attacked, severely injuring and killing most of the members.
More and more members of the Great Families of Eastford and Southford were assassinated.
The assaults occurred without warning or preamble. The Four Great Families, who were initially dismissive, felt threatened. They grew increasingly fearful and angry as the situation gradually went out of control, vowing to find out the person behind it.
Back at the Lopez residence, Thierry slammed a fist on the table in frustration. “Who did all this? This is outrageous!”
“Grandpa, should we consult the Crown King?” Judy asked.
He was about to reply when his subordinates arrived with a piece of shocking news. “Sir, a credible source from the Great Family of Frostford said Levi Garrison did the recent killings. They have secured evidence against him.”
“That’s nonsense!” Thierry scowled darkly. “Sire would never turn against his own!”
“Yes, sir, but…” The other hesitated. “The Great Family of Frostford swore he did it. They are now calling for his demise in the name of the Four Great Families!”
