Chapter 1609: Finished

Yang Ming was currently leaning against the wall like a gecko. His hands clasped a gap in the wall with his feet pedaling strongly over it. Yang Ming couldn’t help but sweat because of this.

If Yang Ming was a little careless, he might follow in Jetson’s footsteps!

There were flaming and blistering hot coals burning under Yang Ming. This was the heat supply boiler of the entire Lancer Family! The place surrounded by the wall was the Lancer Family’s boiler room, and under Yang Ming was exactly the underground boiler’s exhaust vent!

Looking at the plumes of smoke coming out of the exhaust vent below him, Yang Ming quickly moved his body aside in fear, and finally landed on the ground next to the exhaust vent!

Before that, just the billowing hot air from the exhaust vents made Yang Ming’s body feel as if it were burning. Jetson’s situation was apparent from the moment he fell into it!

Everything burning inside was coal. The burning temperature could reach the thousands of Degrees Celsius needed for ironmaking. Cyborg Jetson who was mostly composed of metals most probably couldn’t escape it, and would become a pool of molten iron…

The problem was finally solved. Jetson was finally dead, and Yang Ming was finally relieved. When Yang Ming was running previously, he had observed this place with his special abilities, and decided to take a gamble.

Even if Jetson had lived in the Lancer Family’s manor for a while, he probably wouldn’t know that this was the boiler for heat supply to the entire mansion. As a distinguished guest of the Lancer Family, no one would tell him these things as there was no need! No one would have thought that this boiler would become the place where Jetson died!

So Yang Ming pinpointed the direction of the exhaust vent, remembered in advance a few protruding and indented gaps on the wall, and took a risk. After crossing over the wall, he acted like a gecko and attached himself to the inner wall. However, Jetson did not know. He directly crossed over the wall, jumped down, and was immediately done for.

Indeed, Jetson previously did not have any precautions against Yang Ming playing such a trick! In his opinion, Yang Ming was an outsider. It was impossible for him to understand the situation in the Lancer Family Manor. Even if he ran down a path full of obstacles before, Jetson thought that it was a path randomly selected by Yang Ming. Jetson didn’t question how Yang Ming had swiftly avoided these obstacles. He just thought that Yang Ming was nimble!

After all, even if he was familiar with the manor’s situation, it was impossible to memorize these tattered obstacles’ position. Even people who walk around the mansion all day couldn’t do this, let alone Yang Ming who had suddenly come here!

Jetson even thought that Yang Ming had unintentionally chosen this place when he ran to the open field here. He thought that Yang Ming had realized that he had no way to escape, so Yang Ming had panicked and jumped over a perimeter wall because there was no other choice. It was nothing special. So Jetson jumped in with Yang Ming without any precaution!

If it was somewhere Yang Ming could jump into, then what else was Jetson afraid of?

However, at that time, Jetson touched the wall with both hands and realized that something was strange because its temperature was a little bit higher. After all, there were vents under the wall, and hot gas was flowing from the vents. Even if it was cold at night, the heat could still be felt!

However, Jetson was a Cyborg, and his capacity to endure heat was obviously much higher than that of ordinary people. Therefore, the wall’s heat was nothing in Jetson’s eyes. Besides, he didn’t have much time to think about it at the time. His big secret had been discovered by Yang Ming. His only intention was to grab Yang Ming and ask the truth of the matter, then finally kill him!

Jetson really had no time to deal with the peculiarity on the wall when his heart was so anxious. As a result, he had become a tragedy.

After Yang Ming jumped down from the wall, he heard the faint sound of voices and saw the light from a searchlight not far away. People from the Lancer Family were coming over!

Previously, Yang Ming’s fight with Jetson had attracted these people’s attention, so they rushed to the scene of the incident. However, after Yang Ming and Jetson had exchanged only a few moves, they started running one after the other and their speed far exceeded expectations. They also took a path full of obstacles in the middle of the night, which caused the people of the Lancer Family to be unable to catch up. So now, they hurried over.

“Family Master, it’s just a little rascal. You actually personally came here…” Thomas was leading the team. After all, the person Jetson was going to kill this time had a direct connection with his grandson Goode’s interest. So Thomas personally volunteered and brought a team of people to Jetson!

Thomas never thought that this team could be useful After all, with Jetson’s extraordinary strength, he didn’t need these people to help him at all. He could completely handle Yang Ming by himself, so Thomas brought people with him just for formality.

Thomas was leading people in the direction of Yang Ming’s escape. He turned his head and saw that Family Master Kevithan was also rushing over with his men. Thomas did not dare to neglect his nephew. After all, Kevithan had, that super scary backer Jetson, so Thomas must be respectful to him.

“Cousin Jetson is showing his power, how can I not come to see it?” Kevithan laughed, “I have informed the kitchen to prepare a feast. We will celebrate once things here have been settled.”

“I don’t know if we can let the juniors join during the celebration?” Thomas thought of his grandson, Goode. Goode would probably be very happy to celebrate once Yang Ming was dead.

“Of course you can. This is a happy day for our Lancer Family. You can call Goode to come and discuss proposing marriage to Wang Songshan!” Kevithan nodded and agreed quickly.

Kevithan knew that it was a good time to win people’s hearts now that the family was taking off. Even though his Second Uncle Thomas was obedient to him now, it was because of his Cousin Jetson’s face! Everyone in the Lancer Family would respect him while Cousin Jetson was here. However, as soon as Cousin Jetson leaves, the situation would most probably return to the past.

Kevithan knew that Cousin Jetson could not stay here for a long time. He would most likely depart when the matter was resolved. Kevithan did not believe that Thomas and Lecroft would not take action at that time. Therefore, if he could win the support of the old Family Master Thomas now, he would be able to sit firmly in the position of this family master in the future!

After all, Thomas had controlled this family for decades and the forces built during that time were not small. If these people could support Kevithan, he would no longer be afraid of Lecroft.

Thomas was very happy hearing Kevithan agree to his request. After all, in any case, the final result was worthy of his grandson. Although he had lost his position as the family master, it had always belonged to a capable person. Now, Kevithan could do many things for the family, and the Lancer Family was likely to reach a higher level in the future. However, he was a little sorry toward his grandson, Wich. Thomas sighed. Nothing is perfect. There must always be gains and losses.

“Thank you, Family Master. I’m really happy for my grandson!” Thomas laughed and said.

“Uncle Thomas is being polite,” Kevithan smiled. “We’re all family. Skip those pleasantries. The Lancer Family will get better and better in the future. We will become the first family in upper-class society! Everyone will look up to us!”

“I believe that this moment will not be too far away!” Thomas nodded in agreement. “I trust that Family Master will become the greatest family master in the history of the Lancer Family!”

Although Kevithan knew that this was mostly nonsense, it was also a pleasure to be recognized by the previous family master, his Second Uncle Thomas!

Chapter 1610: Something Big Has Happened

“Uncle Thomas is joking. How can I bear this honor? On the contrary, it was during the decades that Uncle Thomas led the Lancer Family that our family really transformed from a small second- or third-class family into a part of the upper-class society.” What Kevithan said was true. The Lancer Family had started to really accumulate a lot of wealth because of Family Master Thomas. The firearms business became bigger and bigger, and the family grew rapidly!

Hearing that Kevithan didn’t take pride in himself, Thomas immediately rejoiced and said, “However, there is always a day when people become old. Now, this world belongs to young people! Second Uncle will carry out whatever commands you have in the future if I can do it!”

Hearing Thomas’ solemn statement for the first time, Kevithan was very pleased. It seems that Thomas really wants to decentralize. The forces he has cultivated will likely be handed over. this shows that I can continue in my position as the family master with no worries.

“Family Master, it’s not good. Something big has happened, something big has happened!” A disciple within the family rushed over, shouting loudly while running.

Kevithan was currently very happy. He suddenly heard this crying voice and frowned immediately. Anyone would be unhappy when their harmonious and warm atmosphere that was created with great difficulty was disrupted!

Especially now that Kevithan had just reached a consensus with Thomas. He was planning to continue his deep conversation with Thomas, but was interrupted abruptly. He could not help but be a little agitated, “What nonsense is this? Why are you screaming? What is the big thing? What can happen? The most important thing now is to wait for Cousin Jetson to come back and celebrate!”

“Yes-” The disciple didn’t dare to contradict Kevithan, and quickly lowered his head. He carefully said, “But family master, I have important things to report!”

“Hmph, just report. How is it appropriate to scream randomly?” Kevithan glared at him and said, “Remember, we are members of the Lancer Family. The current Lancer Family is different from the previous Lancer family. We are now a first-class family; how can we be so unruly?”

“Yes, family master!” The disciple was taught a lesson, so he could only lower his head and carefully say, “I’m sorry, Family Master. I will be more careful in the future. But this time, it is really serious. That’s why I’m so panicky!”

“Hmph, with Cousin Jetson here, what else can’t be handled? Is this needed?” Kevithan was still unhappy. He sneered before continuing, “Okay, what’s the matter? Hurry up and say it.”

“Family master, the servant in charge of Young Master Goode’s daily needs has found Young Master Goode… he…” The disciple paused when he said until here.

“What’s the matter? Hurry up and say it!” Kevithan asked impatiently.

Thomas was also stunned. Could my grandson have caused a huge problem? Seeing this nervous disciple, it is really possible! Thinking of this, Thomas was secretly stunned. He had just expressed goodwill to Kevithan and planned to have Kevithan support Goode in the future to make him the Douglas Family’s family master. Although Thomas was not the helm of the Lancer Family, he could also give some support to Goode. However, could something really have happened while this kid was not looked after for a moment?

“Young Master Goode is dead!” The disciple said in a hurry.

“What? What did you say?” Kevithan didn’t seem to understand the disciple’s words. He widened his eyes and looked at the, but the nervousness on his face told everyone very clearly that he had heard the disciple; he just couldn’t believe it.

Thomas was also shocked. He grabbed the disciple and asked loudly, “You said Goode is dead? My grandson is dead? Is there a misunderstanding? This is not a joke!”

“Family master, second elder, how could I dare to joke about this? Young Master Goode’s servant has called the doctor, but the doctor said that Young Master Goode has already died. So I hurried over to report it!” said the disciple bitterly.

“Goode, my grandson!” Thomas’s voice became stern and his eyes became blood red, “You tell me, how did Goode die? How did he die? There’s no reason for this. Wasn’t he fine before?”

“Second elder, please calm down first. I really don’t know what’s going on. According to the doctor, there was no trauma at all on Young Master Goode’s body, and he couldn’t see how he died. He can only know after a careful inspection!” The disciple carefully answered.

“You tell me about the situation at that time in detail!” Kevithan didn’t care about Goode’s life and death, but he had just used Goode as a bargaining chip with Thomas. Goode had died so strangely, so how could Kevithan not be filled with anger? He died too timely, right?

“Yes!” said the disciple. “It’s like this. Family master, didn’t you inform everyone that you will hold a large celebration party after Mr. Jetson returns triumphant? So the servants in the family didn’t know whether you would want the family’s younger generation to participate, but it was also necessary to prepare in advance! Therefore, the servant in charge of Young Master Goode’s everyday life took the hairdresser to find Young Master Goode. However, no one answered despite knocking on the door for a long time. At first, they thought that Young Master Goode was asleep, so the servant called for the old butler, Uncle Saltholm. He opened the room door with a spare key, only to find that Young Master Goode was lying motionless on the bed.

“At first everyone thought he was asleep, but nothing happened after calling him a few times. So the servant stepped forward to shake Young Master Goode awake, but when he took a closer look, he found that Young Master Goode was not breathing!

“At this time, everyone hurriedly asked the doctor to come over. After the doctor’s inspection, Young Master Goode was already dead…”

“This is impossible! How is this possible?” Thomas suddenly became manic, waving his hands as if he were crazy, “He was killed by someone. Yang Ming killed him! That must be it! It must be like this…”

“Second Uncle, calm down first!” Kevithan saw Thomas going into a state of insanity, and quickly held him, “Second Uncle, that Yang Ming is being chased by Cousin Jetson at this moment. How could he have the time to assassinate Goode? Maybe there’s a hidden story behind this? Or maybe everyone has misunderstood?”

” Yang Ming must have gone to Goode’s place first and killed my grandson before he went to Jetson! It must be like this!” Thomas didn’t believe Kevithan’s explanation; he shook his head and growled.

“Second Uncle, you also know how tight our family’s defense is. How could Yang Ming slip silently into Goode’s place and kill him? Also, no one found out along the way. Is this possible?” Kevithan said, “Also, I have not received any news of a disciple’s death so far. How did Yang Ming find Goode’s place of residence? How did he bypass the heavy defense to find Goode?”

Thomas calmed down a bit after hearing Kevithan’s words. After all, they were very reasonable. How did Yang Ming find Goode? How did he silently escape those patrol guards?

“No! In this case, how did Yang Ming find Jetson? Logically, he didn’t kill any disciples, so how did he find the place where Wang Songshan was held?” Thomas was not a fool; he was very clever. He immediately thought of something unusual!

“This-” Kevithan immediately felt that something was wrong upon hearing Thomas’s words. How did Yang Ming know these things?

“It must have been Yang Ming who killed Goode! I want him to be destroyed into millions of pieces!” The more Thomas thought about it, the more likely it was. Although he didn’t know how, he was certain that Yang Ming had done it when he connected every aspect of the situation!
