King's Awakening

I’ll tell you this – since the establishment of the Jones Family, the three branches have coexisted. Even throughout the tumultuous years, this balance has never changed!”

I know what you’re up to, you simply want to swallow up our third branch into your own to bolster your strength!

I warn you, if you dare to do this, the third branch of the Jones Family will resist even at the risk of death!”

Animated by his passionate speech, Legend stood up and turned to Evan Jones, the head of the second branch, “Evan, don’t you understand the principle that ‘when the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold’? If we from the third branch go down today, your second branch will be next.”

In not too much time, Andrea will be controlling everything in the Jones Family. At a time like this, aren’t you going to say anything?”

Upon hearing this, Evan didn’t respond. In fact, he calmly picked up his teacup and took a sip.

Legend, seeing this, was nearly infuriated to the point of explosion. He cursed, “Useless!”

After this, Legend turned his attention back to Andrea, who was sitting in the main seat: “Andrea, don’t think I, Legend Jones, am afraid of you. I’ve been seasoned by more hardships than all the roads you’ve walked.

You, a little girl, who hasn’t even fully matured yet, wish to deal with me? You are being overly confident.”

Seeing the cornered state of Legend, Andrea sitting in the main seat showed a look of disappointment. She then calmly said, “You misunderstood. I never had the intention to swallow the third branch. The third branch won’t disappear.”

Huh?

Legend was taken aback, soon asking in a cold voice, “What did you mean by what you just said?”

Hearing this, Andrea glanced at Legend again. However, her eyes revealed a sharp, chilly glare as she said indifferently, “The third branch indeed cannot disappear, however, the family head can be replaced.”

What!?

Legend was in shock, his body trembling momentarily, and he was instantly infuriated.

“Andrea! You’re pushing too far!” With an outburst of anger, Legend Jones unleashed his God of War level aura, which filled the entire hall.

After the display of his aura, the look on Legend’s face had become defiant, and he arrogantly stared at Andrea, saying, “Andrea, you forced me into this! From today onward, my third branch will officially separate from the Jones Family!”

If you want to play, I, Legend Jones, will play till the end!”

Seeing Legend’s reckless behavior, Andrea silently shook her head. Her face showed a trace of regret as she softly said, “We’re all one family. Why is there a need to come to this?”

“You’re the one who forced me to this!” said a cold-voiced Legend. Afterwards, he walked out the door, the aura of the War God he exuded never diminishing.

It was quite obvious that, in his view, escaping the Jones Family today would make it far more challenging for Andrea to deal with him in the future.

He had already secretly secured alliances with several prominent families in the capital city, precisely in preparation for such a situation.

He had no choice, as Andrea’s rise was too swift, embarrassing those of the older generation. Without making early arrangements, they might be swallowed up without even realizing it.

However, Legend was so absorbed in his calculations that he overlooked one thing.

That is, how could Andrea let him escape so easily?

Just as Legend’s foot stepped out of the front gate of the Jones Family, a slender beam of light, barely discernible to the naked eye, flashed behind him. In less than a second, it appeared right in front of his eyes.

At this moment, Legend Jones’s body was like frozen in place.

His pupils dilated, staring straight ahead, his face still held the anger from before.

However, anyone with discernment could sense that his aura was rapidly draining with terrifying speed.

It was only when a loud thud echoed that Legend Jones’s entire body crumpled to the ground.

In the middle of his forehead, a faint needle hole could be seen.

Watching this, Evan Jones, who had been pretending nothing was amiss, couldn’t help but tremble, a sense of fear filled his heart.

If he had shown even the slightest hesitation moments before, he might have ended up just like Legend Jones.

But no one else was to blame except for Legend Jones himself for being too arrogant and underestimating Andrea Jones’s moves.

After all, someone who showed no mercy even to her own father, could hardly be an ordinary woman?

Thinking about it, Evan Jones couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow for Legend Jones.

“Sigh…how pointless, wouldn’t it be much better to just follow the family’s arrangements obediently? Must it come to the point of drawing swords against each other?” Andrea Jones sighed, a faint hint of sadness on her pretty face.

Watching this scene, Evan Jones could only feel as if he was sitting on a pin cushion, no matter how he positioned himself, he was filled with trepidation.

“Uncle, don’t be nervous. The second branch didn’t do anything wrong. I won’t harm you. After all, I’m not a heartless person. I’m just a weak woman, just trying to protect the Jones Family.” Andrea Jones tried to console him.

However, her words were no less intimidating to Evan Jones than a threat.

Immediately, Evan Jones hurriedly expressed, “Andrea, you’ve been working hard. It’s hard for you to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Jones Family alone. But you can rest assured, our branch is loyal to the Jones Family, we will absolutely follow the family’s arrangements.”

Upon hearing this, Andrea Jones merely nodded slightly, and immediately ordered someone to bring over a stack of documents.

“Uncle, have a good look. These are evidence of the third branch’s contact with powerful families in Capital City. Until he decided to betray the Jones family, I didn’t want to believe these. I felt that my subordinates had made a mistake.

But, as you’ve seen, Uncle was determined to betray our Jones Family. I was forced to take action.” Andrea Jones spoke with a gloomy expression.

At this point, Evan Jones was staring at the documents Andrea Jones brought out, he couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.

Many of the information in these documents were classified, which ordinary people had no way of obtaining. He believed that Legend Jones wouldn’t be so foolish as to leak such important information.

And yet, Andrea Jones had found them, and even knew precisely what Legend Jones had said to those people, how many cigarettes he had smoked and how many sighs he had let out.

Clearly, Andrea Jones was well prepared today. She had already known everything and was just waiting for a suitable excuse to take out Legend Jones.

Thinking of this, Evan Jones’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat, and he felt more and more anxious.

At this moment, Andrea Jones looked at him again and asked, “Uncle, now that Uncle is like this, who do you think is suitable to take over the third branch?”

Hearing this, Evan Jones didn’t dare to say much, he hurriedly replied, “Andrea, you are the Family Head, it’s more suitable for you to decide this. As for my advice, I don’t have much interaction with the third branch, I really can’t give good advice.”

“Sigh… Alright then, since you said so, Uncle, the third branch can’t be without a leader for a day. Let me, the Family Head, make a decision once. ” Andrea Jones then ordered her subordinates, “I hereby announce, Sherry Jones from the Sayon branch will take over as the head of the third branch.

Give her the orders, she should wrap up affairs in Sayon within a week and come to take up her position in Capital City.

If there’s any negligence, she will be punished according to the family law!”
