Chapter 291

“Well done! Well done, indeed!” Edwin laughed boisterously. “This Substratumis may be expensive, but it’s definitely worth the price!”

While he was still chortling, another bodyguard rushed in anxiously. “Sir, something bad happened back home!” The guard fell to his knees, weeping.

“What?” Edwin frowned.

“We just received news from Swinton that Hummer Villa turned into a slaughterhouse last night. All our fighters are dead, and Ms. Hummer and Mr. Hummer were both killed as well. The Hummer family is gone!”

These words struck Edwin like lightning, and the Substratumis in his hand crashed to the floor, shattering instantly.

“Son!” Edwin wailed, collapsing to the floor.

The devastated man remained there for what felt like ages. When he finally staggered to his feet, he seemed to have aged ten years, looking extremely haggard.

“Get ready. I want to head to Boulderthorn’s branch right this instant!” Edwin seethed menacingly. He no longer had anything to fear; his children were dead. He only cared about avenging them, no matter the cost.

An hour later, in Boulderthorn’s branch meeting room:

“What? Joshua was killed?” A man in a green shirt shot up and roared. “Who the hell dares to touch someone from Boulderthorn?”

“It was Natasha Harmon and a man called Dustin Rhys!” Edwin growled.

The other man scoffed. “How dare a family like them challenge us! They must have a death wish! Gather our men. No matter what, we must avenge Joshua!”

“Yes, sir!”

The Boulderthorn disciples immediately left to carry out the order. Soon, the entire branch mobilized.

Boulderthorn had hundreds of thousands of disciples throughout Balerno, and this branch boasted the highest concentration of skilled martial artists. The reason was simple: their mentor was the guildmaster of Boulderthorn.

Boulderthorn had four branch leaders, eight guildmasters, and thirty-six second-in-commands. Besides the branch leaders, the guildmasters held the most power. With a single command, they could control thousands of disciples. However, each guildmaster fiercely resented the others, and they were extremely protective of their disciples. Therefore, whenever someone was in trouble, everyone immediately helped. Of all Boulderthorn’s disciples, Joshua was the most talented and skilled, earning the head guildmaster’s favor.

His sudden death shocked the entire guild. If Boulderthorn didn’t avenge him, their reputation, especially this branch’s, would be severely damaged.

Edwin felt relieved by the guild’s response. Without another word, he returned to his car and headed towards the Grants’ home.

No matter who was responsible for Jade’s disappearance, he would blame Dustin. Knowing the Grants, Dustin wouldn’t escape easily. With Boulderthorn and the Grants working together, even the Harmon family, one of the wealthiest families, wouldn’t last long. In time, the Harmons would force Natasha to take sole responsibility.

As for Dustin, he was a sitting duck for the Boulderthorn disciples.

“My dear son, I will avenge you soon,” Edwin swore solemnly.
