Chapter 203 - 179: A Family of Three, Fighting for Sovereignty (First Update)

Chapter 203: Chapter 179: A Family of Three, Fighting for Sovereignty (First Update)

Without any warning, Evan Taylor suddenly announced an important matter the next day.

Chuck Taylor, who thought he could fully wield his power, was the first one to stand up in opposition when he heard what Evan Taylor was declaring.

"Father, if we retreat at this point, we would need to recollect all our connections in the medical world. Wouldn’t that be giving the Lynch Family a chance?"

"Exactly." someone agreed.

"Family leader, we are strongly against this form of retreat."

"Our success thus far has been due to our network and our experiences gained from outside ventures."

"It hasn’t been easy for our family to come this far, it would truly be the end if we were to retreat now."

They were indeed physicians, but if they held no power, they would find it hard to have a say within the medical world. Having strength does not necessarily mean you can do what you want.

How many people from ancient times had given up their medical profession in pursuit of power, have the family leader not seen this before?

"Father, why are you insisting on this retreat?" Chuck Taylor asked, gritting his teeth.

Evan Taylor waited for everyone to finish speaking before he slowly said, "This is my decision. Anyone who disobeys will be expelled from the Taylor Family."

This sentence showed how much of a deterrent it was.

Everyone dared not utter a word again.

Chuck Taylor clenched his fists tightly. He was so close to gaining control of the Taylor Family.

Retreating at this point was essentially giving up the fight.

If they didn’t vie for power, the Taylor Family wouldn’t have a chance to progress anymore.

Without any further unnecessary words, Evan Taylor gave the order and the preparations began.

"Retreat?" Amelia Taylor couldn’t believe what she was hearing, "What is Great Grandfather thinking!"

Chuck Taylor also wore a grim expression.

Jacob Taylor looked at his father and asked, "Father, are we really withdrawing?"

From three major families, it had now become two. It was as if they were retreating by their own accord.

"Retreat is synonymous with hiding."

They would need to maintain a low profile in anything they do.

Amelia Taylor was very unwilling.

She was on the verge of having access to more resources.

But now, she was being suppressed.

The claim of recuperation was all nonsense.

Once they stepped back, they would be giving others an opportunity to step forward.

The nation wasn’t made up of just the Taylor Family alone.

"It’s unfair that the mistake made by the fifth generation is inflicted on us."

She had been waiting for this opportunity for too long.

There’s no way they could retreat.

"From now on, everyone in the Taylor family must act low-keyly," Chuck Taylor looked at Amelia Taylor, "Anyone who disobeys will be expelled from the family."

Amelia Taylor turned pale.

Upon the issuance of this command, nobody dared to make a move.

Noon.

Adam Stephens specifically asked for Chloe Stephens to be brought over.

The three of them were currently sitting in a rest area.

The place was very private, with no one coming in to disturb them.

Excluding everyone else, the three sat down to seriously discuss their future plans.

Adam Stephens looked very seriously at Chloe Stephens and said, "Chloe, I want to ask you seriously this time. Are you really willing to enter the core of the Stephens Family and face these hardships?"

Yvette Foster wanted to stop him, but held back her words.

"I’m not going into the core of the Stephens Family. Instead, I can fight for the position of family leader on your behalf."

This was what Chloe could offer him.

Adam sighed and said, "Chloe, your grandfather is still around."

He was his father. No matter what, he couldn’t bring himself to act against him like others did.

Even if he had the heart to, he couldn’t carry out such an inhumane action.

Moreover.

Pierce Stephens was helpless most of the time.

Although there were times when he got extremely irritated,

That was certainly not a reason for him to kill his own father.

"I didn’t ask you to kill anyone," Chloe affirmed calmly, "It’s not uncommon for someone in a large family to give their spot to a worthier individual."

Adam responded, "Considering Father’s current state, he can’t just choose to..."

"Your hidden injury has been there for twenty years, right? I will heal it for you. And Mother, in this family battle, you must participate. When you joined the Stephens family, there was no escaping."

Yvette stared at Chloe in disbelief.

Seeing their strange expressions, Chloe said, "My brain is fine, so don’t see me as a disabled person. Mother can now generate strength, converting her to a half-ancient martial artist is just a matter of time. Have you ever heard of the ’Thirteen Needles’ technique?"

Adam was shocked, "The ’Thirteen Needles’ technique, even the Taylor family can’t use it at will. I’ve only heard it’s very complex yet powerful."

This is an exaggerated claim.

Yet, for most people, the ’Thirteen Needles’ technique is just a typical method.

They don’t genuinely believe the legend behind it.

"Ah," cried Yvette suddenly, "Adam, last time in the steam room, I managed to kick open the door easily. I didn’t apply much strength, yet I was able to send Tenth Sister-in-law flying."

Adam looked at her instantly, and then reached over to take her pulse.

Yvette looked at him, "What’s wrong?"

"Her pulse is indeed a bit strange."

Martial artists know how to read pulses, but they do not possess medical skills, except for determining if one is a martial artist based on their pulse.

"No need to check any more, her physique has been completely changed. From today onwards, she can learn ancient martial arts techniques or..." Chloe glanced at Adam, "Dual cultivation would be more appropriate."

"..."

Yvette blushed.

Adam became slightly uncomfortable.

"This is a dual cultivation manual I’ve prepared for both of you, which will greatly benefit each other."

Chloe took out a bottle of medicine from her schoolbag and handed it to Adam, "Firstly, finish this bottle, and then I will help Father overcome his hurdle."

Adam stared at his daughter, unable to react.

Getting up, Chloe said, "Since a decision has been made, anyone who hinders the path of the Stephens family only has one fate."

Reaching the door, she turned back to look at Adam, "Do as you wish, nobody in the Stephens family can threaten us."

She left, leaving the stunned couple behind.

"Adam, is she still our daughter?"

"Yes, of course she is."

The Lynch Family.

Liam Lynch’s cousin Michael Lynch walked in with a look of excitement on his face.

"The Taylor family’s influence has suddenly retreated, and our Lynch family has taken over. We’ve regained our footing in Sheffield city, and from now on, the interaction with all these families would be handled by the Lynch family. The Taylor family has lost a good chunk of their influence."

Liam Lynch was not that optimistic, "You must understand that our Lynch family’s medical skills are still far inferior to the Taylor family. What the Lynch family is really doing is selling medicinal herbs, not providing medical treatment."

Even though the Lynch family had replaced a significant number of influential positions, it would not reach the status of the Taylor family in a short period.

At the same time.

The pressure on the Lynch family would be immense.

If they don’t achieve success, it would only be inviting mockery.

Michael Lynch didn’t pay much thought, as long as the Taylor family backed off, the Lynch family’s opportunities would increase.

The initial stages were hard, but the rewards matched the effort.

"So currently, we must heavily invest in developing talent in this area. The preparations we made previously serve a purpose now."

The family has been training many individuals with medical talent.

Liam reminded him, "Don’t be too happy so early."

"I know!"

Michael Lynch went off to his tasks.

He couldn’t hide the smile on his face.

Liam gazing into the distance outside, felt that all these developments were exceedingly odd.

Just like that year when the Lynch family suffered a tremendous blow.

The memories of his childhood remained so vivid till today.

It was almost like a dream.

At that moment, Travis Fisher received a call at the Fisher household.

He squinted his dark eyes, a chill emanating from the bottom of his eyes: "The Lynch family is in such a hurry to climb to the top, let’s give them a grand gift in celebration."

The person on the other end received orders and went to carry them out immediately.

Travis Fisher tucked his phone away, a cold smile playing on his lips, "Emily, this time, you will come begging for my help."
