Smalley Castle.
Everyone in the Smalley family was dining in the restaurant. Suddenly, a servant hurried in, breathing heavily.
Earl Smalley frowned slightly and said with an unhappy look on his face.
"What's up?"
"Sir, Valentine... the Valentine family has been destroyed!"
"What, how is this...possible?"
Before Earl Smalley could say anything, Vincent Smalley had already exclaimed and looked at the servant who reported the news in shock.
The Valentine family was a viscount family that was entrusted to the Smalley family. There were fierce blood warriors in the family. How could this be possible that such a family was actually wiped out
"Is the news...reliable?"
"Master Vincent, the news was brought by the nobles of the Valentine family, and they are in the castle now. There is absolutely no mistake."
gasped the servant.
Knowing that the matter was of great importance, he rushed to report it as soon as he got the news.
"how come?"
Vincent Smalley was shocked.
Earl Smalley had already stood up and walked towards the living room, and Vincent Smalley quickly stood up and followed.
When they came to the living room, they met the person who reported the news.
This was a big, middle-aged man. The two of them had an impression of this man. He once came to visit the Smalley family with Viscount Valentine, and he was a baron entrusted by the Valentine family.
"Tell me clearly what's going on?"
Earl Smalley said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Lord Earl..."
The big middle-aged man nodded quickly, but his face was extremely pale.
His family was entrusted by the Valentine family. Now that the Valentine family has been destroyed, his territory will be taken back if nothing happens.
The efforts of several generations ended in his generation. One can imagine how he felt at this time.
"They were all killed, and their bodies were burned. Not even one person could escape... Could it be the hand of the Shadow Snake?"
Vincent Smalley looked shocked.
To destroy a viscount family without even a single person escaping requires strength that is definitely not something that ordinary forces can achieve.
He immediately thought of the killer organization Shadow Snake, which had continuously committed genocide in the Marquis of Sidney.
"No, why did the Shadow Snake attack the Valentine family?"
But he immediately became suspicious.
The Valentine family is a nobility entrusted by the Smalley family. Even if the Shadow Snake wanted to take revenge on the nobles of the Marquis of Sidney, under normal circumstances, it would not choose the Valentine family.
"Fergus family!"
At this moment, a voice sounded, and Earl Smalley, who had been silent after listening to the big middle-aged man's report, raised his head and said coldly.
"The Fergus family...?"
Vincent Smalley didn't know why his father suddenly mentioned the family he hated most now. The defeat at the hands of Gray was simply a shame for him, so much so that he didn't want to hear anything about Fergus now.
But he reacted immediately and understood the reason why his father said this family name.
Father, do you suspect that... the Fergus family took action? "
Vincent Smalley looked at his father in surprise, not knowing the basis for his father's judgment.
"Um."
Lord Smalley nodded.
"The last time the Fergus family's medicinal materials were robbed, I had someone investigate. It was the Valentine family who opened that pharmacy behind the scenes."
"It was opened by the Valentine family? In other words, the Valentine family was responsible for the robbery of the Fergus family's medicinal materials? Is that why the Fergus family took action against the Valentine family?"
Vincent Smalley frowned.
"But father, with the strength of the Fergus family, he shouldn't have this ability!"
"It is true that the Fergus family does not have that ability, but don't forget that the Fergus family now has a big support."
Earl Smalley snorted and said mockingly.
"The Ford family."
Vincent Smalley narrowed his eyes and immediately understood the reason why Earl Smalley said this.
The Fergus family does not have the strength to destroy the Valentine family, but the Ford family does. If the Ford family is willing to help the Fergus family, they indeed have the ability to destroy the Valentine family.
"Damn it, how dare the Fergus family do this."
Vincent Smalley clenched his fists, then looked at Count Smalley and said.
"Father, we can't let this matter go like this!"
"I know."
Earl Smalley had a cold expression on his face.
The Smalley family had no choice but to admit the fact that Gray Fergus made a big fuss in Smalley City before because of the solid evidence.
After all, this batch of medicinal materials was also related to the Sidney family, and it was considered important to a certain extent, so they did not send anyone to detain Gray Fergus in the end.
But now the Fergus family has actually destroyed all the families divided by the Smalley family. If the Smalley family can't show something, I'm afraid they will immediately become a joke in the aristocratic circle.
"Gather the two viscounts and follow me to the Fergus family."
…
In the Fergus family study, Gray, who returned to the Fergus family, recounted everything he had done in the past few days.
"Father, if we destroy the Valentine family, the Smalley family should be suspicious of our Fergus family. I'm afraid they won't let it go."
Bernal said slightly worriedly.
"Definitely."
Viscount Fergus nodded. With the character of the Smalley family, it is certain that the Smalley family would not let it go if the nobles entrusted by their family were destroyed.
"What should we do?"
Bernal worried.
"Since you dare to come, our Fergus family will pick you up."
Viscount Fergus snorted coldly.
When Gray asked Viscount Fergus to send Edge and others, he had also stated that he wanted to take action against the Valentine family, but Viscount Fergus did not stop him.
As he said at the beginning, no matter whether they are robbers or any force, if they dare to take action against the Fergus family, they will naturally have to pay the price.
Otherwise, other families or robbers will think that the Fergus family is weak and will become even more violent in the future.
"Even the Smalley family has learned a lesson. The Valentine family is a nobleman entrusted to the Smalley family. If the Valentine family does such a thing, the Smalley family is also responsible."
Gray snorted.
With four mad-level blood beasts in hand, he really isn't afraid of the Smalley family.
The current four blood beasts are no longer much different in appearance from the real blood beasts. Even if they are exposed, at most it will spread the fact that the Fergus family has mad-level blood beasts.
On the contrary, it can deter other families and attract the attention of the Sidney family.
As the supreme ruler of the Marquis of Sidney, the Sidney family naturally hopes that the nobles under their command will be as strong as possible.
After looking at Viscount Fergus and then at Gray, the worry on Bernal's face disappeared.
When he first heard that he had offended the Earl Smalley family, he subconsciously felt worried. After all, the other party was a powerful Earl family.
However, he reacted after hearing what Viscount Fergus and Gray said.
The Fergus family now is different from the past. There are four crazy-level blood beasts. If the Smalley family really dares to bully them, it is not certain who will bully whom.
A few days later, a special team entered the Viscounty of Fergus and marched toward Fergus Castle aggressively, raising a cloud of dust.
The entire team consisted of more than a hundred people, surrounded by soldiers riding horses and wearing high-end leather armor or bloody warriors in combat uniforms. Inside was a huge carriage.
This is a two-horse carriage.
The carriage was extremely wide. On both sides of the carriage, there was a conspicuous golden symbol. It was a clenched fist glove, shining with bright gold.
This is the hallmark of the Smalley family.
Among the carriages were naturally members of the Smalley family.
"Let's go and greet him. As a master, you still need to have the proper aristocratic etiquette!"
After receiving the report from the family spies, Viscount Fergus stood up, greeted Gray and Bernal and said.
Gray and Bernal looked at each other, stood up and followed.
In front of the Fergus family castle, a huge two-horse carriage stopped, and a man with long brown hair and a majestic air stepped out.
Then, a young man with brown hair and two older men walked down one after another.
"Lord Smalley, please!"
Viscount Fergus glanced at Earl Smalley, and at the same time glanced at the two men behind Earl Smalley, who were probably already fierce blood warriors.
There was no change on his face at all. After making a very cold gesture of invitation, he walked forward on his own.
Gray and Bernal followed Viscount Fergus without saying anything.
Seeing this, Vincent Smalley's eyes showed anger, and the two men also showed cold looks. The cold light in Earl Smalley's eyes flashed away, and then he returned to normal and walked forward.
