Chapter 324: Chapter 297: Better to Kill by Mistake than to Let Go (10 updates)

In Building 3.

The family was having dinner.

Adam talked occasionally with Alex about the allocation issue at today’s family meeting.

"Everyone has come back, so the issue of allocation has become diluted. Your studies here can’t compare to Rowan’s."

Alex nodded in understanding.

"I know."

It was inevitable, as they just happened to encounter this issue.

Adam’s power was also reduced and distributed to others.

Those who went out were also contributing to the family.

They couldn’t favor one over the other.

Yvette Foster and Chloe Stephens didn’t take any resources from the Stephens Family.

Besides cultivation, Yvette usually talked with Nicholas Lincoln.

The company in Mountain County was enough for her to manage.

"Chloe, the family mentioned the Slaughter Squad. Be more careful yourself."

"Mm."

Yvette looked over, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Alex also looked at Chloe.

Riley Downing returned home with the Lynch Family after dealing with the aftermath.

It was already the next night when they arrived.

"Uncle Lewis, thank you for your hard work this time. Don’t worry about me; I can take care of myself."

"Riley, we didn’t encounter danger this time because we were lucky, but next time we might not have such luck."

"Didn’t we also think at the beginning that the Winston Family couldn’t possibly fall? But now, didn’t the Slaughter Squad take care of them?"

Looking at Riley, who was trying hard to act like an adult, Patrick Lewis felt a pain in his heart.

Having lived with Riley for so long, he had long regarded her as his own daughter.

Seeing Riley work so hard to move forward, how could he not feel heartache?

Just as he was about to say something, Patrick suddenly pulled Riley behind him, and she also looked alertly in the direction of the sound.

Filbert Fisher walked out with a cold face.

His deep eyes stared directly at Riley, then swept over to Patrick.

"So, you went out this time to meddle in the Lych City incident?"

Hearing Filbert speak in an elder’s tone, Riley clenched her face and scoffed, "So what if we did?"

"Do you think the Fisher Family isn’t troubled enough, even participating in such a thing?"

"We were doing the right thing, not like you, only acting in secret," Riley stood up, facing Filbert like a little adult.

Filbert’s icy gaze swept over, looking at this little one, his eyes full of evil, "Don’t think that just because you’ve been to Sheffield City, you’ve grown knowledgeable and lost all sense of propriety. If you harm the Fisher Family, neither of you will escape. At that time, I will personally put an end to both of you."

Riley said coldly, "On what grounds? Even the family leader has no right to kill people at will."

"Because I am your brother."

"I don’t have a brother like that," Riley sneered, "My brother wouldn’t want my life, let alone my parents’ lives."

Filbert’s eyes narrowed and he stepped forward, raising his hand to slap.

Riley raised her hand and knocked his hand away.

It caused Filbert’s palm to tingle with numbness.

Filbert couldn’t help but squint, staring intently at Riley.

Just now, her strength seemed a bit too strong.

Had Riley’s blockage been cleared? It looked as if her cultivation hadn’t backtracked, but rather progressed.

Impossible.

This kind of blockage was a lifetime thing, and it could very likely cause her premature death.

This time when she came back, Filbert found that Riley was much more spirited, even the swing she just made carried strength.

Intending to test her again, Filbert prepared to take action, but Patrick stepped forward, "Young Master Filbert, the Old Madam is still waiting for Riley."

Filbert slowly withdrew his movement.

Riley also wanted to fight with him, but she had been helping outside for the whole day, and her petite body couldn’t bear such a large pressure.

Now she was also exhausted and weak.

If she fought with Filbert, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.

Just wait.

Her sister said that the Fisher Family would be destroyed within half a year.

She was waiting for that day.

When that day came, if Filbert didn’t die, she would make a move herself.

With only half a year left to grow, she couldn’t afford to slack off for a moment.

Filbert stared at the departing Riley with furrowed brows.

Upon returning home.

Filbert glanced around and didn’t see Zachary Fisher, so he asked a servant and found out that Zachary had gone out.

The servant said, "It seems someone came in from the Imperial Capital."

"My aunt?"

"I am not so sure about that."

Filbert had no choice but to wait at home for Zachary to return.

Zachary indeed went to meet the person sent by Yancy Fisher and didn’t know what they talked about, but his expression was a bit tense.

"Dad, did Aunt come back to Sheffield City?"

Zachary shook his head: "Your aunt seems to be taking care of us, but she still blames me for what happened back then."

"Did Aunt argue with Dad again?"

"Not really," Zachary said, "It’s just that your aunt suddenly sent someone back to Sheffield City to tell us about the happenings in the Imperial Capital, and there’s one more thing, about you. She wants you to go to the Imperial Capital to develop and choose a future wife from those famous ladies."

Filbert frowned, "Doesn’t my aunt know about me and Ella Stephens?"

"Your aunt’s intention is to let you have more options, this marriage is set, but it can also be withdrawn."

Withdrawing from the Stephens Family’s marriage wasn’t the first time.

One more withdrawal wouldn’t be a big deal.

Ella was very good, but there were better than her, too.

As Filbert’s father, Zachary naturally wanted his son to marry a wife who can support him rather than a wife who needs help.

Just after the marriage was arranged, the Stephens Family couldn’t wait to ask for benefits from their Fisher Family.

"I won’t go to the Imperial Capital," Filbert firmly refused, "If I leave, we wouldn’t know who our Fisher Family would be under in the future."

Zachary said: "I let her person return to the Imperial Capital first, and we will discuss it ourselves."

"Dad, wouldn’t Aunt have sent someone back to talk to us for no reason?"

This kind of thing hadn’t happened before.

Zachary pondered for a moment, then said, "Let’s wait for some news from your aunt."

Filbert swallowed his next words.

Then he told his father about his suspicions.

Riley’s behavior after returning this time was indeed strange.

"She really participated in the Lych City incident."

"I heard them talking about it myself."

Zachary said coldly, "Just as well, let her come over tomorrow morning, we’ll pry the situation at the time out of her mouth."

"Dad, do we really want to let her grow like this?"

"After damaging her cultivation vessels, she can only live for a year or two at most, how can she grow from here?"

"I tried today and it felt a bit off. If her meridians are unblocked, Dad, we must not let her go this time, even if we make a mistake."

Letting Riley grow made him feel uneasy.

"But Grandma..."

"So what if she finds out after the fact? In the end, it will still be nothing. Granny will still have to rely on us for survival, and even if she knows, can she turn against us?"

Zachary was thinking about how to carry out this matter.

Riley being around was indeed an eyesore.
