Ezra was screaming and laughing like a lunatic.

The man in black holding Ezra down frowned and struck him on the back of his neck, causing his eyes to roll backward as he passed out.

Although Ezra had already fainted, what he just said was still ringing in the ears of everyone present.

They didn’t expect Ezra to be so crazy as to inform the Peerless Martial Association to come over.

Hades’s corpse was still lying right in front of the Howards’ villa, and he had been shot by a sniper arranged by the Howards. The Peerless Martial Association would definitely be enraged and hold the Howards responsible!

The Peerless Martial Association was a massive organization with countless powerful experts. As one of the top eight families of DC, the Howards knew this all too well.

Hades alone had almost destroyed the Howards. No one had been able to stop him at all.

Now that Hades had died in their residence, the Peerless Martial Association would definitely send more terrifying big shots to hold them responsible. If the Peerless Martial Association vented their anger on the Howards, many Howards would probably die, and the family might even get eradicated!

How could the Howards possibly be able to resist?

All the Howards subconsciously turned to look at Lucas.

If the Peerless Martial Association’s powerhouses really came to hold the Howards accountable, Lucas was probably the only person who could protect them!

Florence looked at Lucas, gritted her teeth, and suddenly said, “Lucas, leave immediately before the people from the Peerless Martial Association arrive! Take Cheyenne and your daughter somewhere remote and live in recluse!

The Howards were all stunned.

They originally thought that Florence would get Lucas to stay and help them deal with the Peerless Martial Association since he was her son-in-law. They didn’t expect her to ask him to leave!

But if Lucas really left, what would happen to the Howards?

Hades had died in their residence, and since the Peerless Martial Association knew this, they definitely wouldn’t let them off easily!

Were they all going to wait for death?

“No, Mr. Gray can’t leave! He’s the only one who can fight against the Peerless Martial Association’s experts now. If he leaves, how can Howards withstand the Peerless Martial Association’s wrath?”

“Yeah, Florence, you’d better consider it carefully. Mr. Gray is the only person we can rely on now. He can’t leave!”

“The Howards are about to face our greatest crisis ever. If Mr. Gray leaves at this point, what are we supposed to do? What will happen to the hundreds of people who live here? We can’t possibly all escape. Are we supposed to just wait here to die?”

“Florence, quickly think of a way to get Mr. Gray to stay here and help us!”

…

The Howards were all panic-stricken as they requested Florence to get Lucas to stay in the Howard residence to help them deal with the people of the Peerless Martial Association.

Lucas was surprised.

He didn’t expect Florence to be worried about his and Cheyenne’s safety and tell them to leave quickly instead of asking him to stay and help resolve the Howards’ crisis.

It seemed that Florence was indeed different from before.

Facing the Howards’ request, Florence shouted resolutely, “No!

“I think you all know what we’re about to face. In the face of the terrifying Peerless Martial Association, the Howards are just like eggs and easily crushed!

“Although Lucas is powerful, he’s alone. How can he possibly defeat the thousands of experts of the Peerless Martial Association?

“So, the only way now is to leave the Howard residence immediately! Not only him, all of you should leave too!”

“Go back to your homes to take your valuables with you and flee immediately. Leave as fast as you can and run as far as you can before the people of the Peerless Martial Association arrive!”

Florence spoke loudly with a helpless and agonized look on her face.

She had just taken over as the head of the family less than half an hour ago. But now, the Howards were facing a crisis that could possibly annihilate them. How ironic.

Initially, only the people present were aware that Hades had been killed by one of the Howards in their home. If they had handled it properly, they could have covered it up.

But for the sake of competing for power and suppressing her and Lucas, Ezra had actually informed the Peerless Martial Association about this matter. Since the news had already spread, even Florence had no way to turn the situation around.

Thus, the only way to survive now was to flee as quickly and as far away as they could!

“Hah, you want to run away?

“Since you’ve killed someone from the Peerless Martial Association, none of you can escape today!”

Suddenly, an extremely cold voice sounded from the front, resounding clearly in the ears of everyone present.

As this hair-raising voice sounded, people clad in black robes landed quietly around the Howards like phantoms.

The word ‘Peerless’ was embroidered clearly on their robes.

These people were from the Peerless Martial Association!’

After seeing these terrifying figures, the Howards immediately turned pale in fright.

Before they could do anything, the ten-odd experts of the Peerless Martial Association had already completely surrounded them!

Although there weren’t that many people from the Peerless Martial Association here, they were all elites of the association, and their auras were extremely formidable.

In particular, the person standing at the front who had just spoken had a hideous scar on his face that ran from the corner of his mouth directly to the bottom of his cheekbone. A mere glance at it was extremely terrifying.

The terrifying scar-faced man, the leader, didn’t look at the Howards but instead at the corpse lying nearby.

The corpse was facing the sky with its back on the ground. His eyes were wide open and staring at the sky with an expression of realizing his imminent death on his face.

There was an obvious hole in the middle of his forehead, and the blood flowing out of it was slowly coagulating.

The corpse clearly belonged to Hades, the powerhouse of the Peerless Martial Association whom the Howards’ sniper had mistakenly killed.

“Hah, the Howards are really brave. You even dare to kill the top powerhouses of the Peerless Martial Association! It seems that you’re tired of living in luxury after so many years!” the scar-faced man hollered furiously, his voice as loud as a bell and full of a murderous intent that shrouded every single person present in an instant!
