The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 255: Secret Toasts

In the central region of the Cromwell Kingdom, where the Chambers family headquarters were located...

While the three Spiritual Kings left to investigate the surroundings of that base from before, Kevin's situation had already turned the entire Chambers family upside down!

In fact, several people were talking about Kevin's death all over the city ruled by the Chambers family, creating a rumor that had already reached thousands of people in a short time!

A day ago, when the lamp containing the sign of Kevin's soul went out, the entire headquarters of this young man's family was shaken by the patriarch's violent reaction.

He, a level 56, Spiritual King, had unleashed all the anger generated by this news, destroying a cultivation room made for the 6th stage cultivators!

Such action had generated tremors throughout the city, and even the various experts of that power had thought this was an enemy attack.

In the end, even the old patriarch had shown up and found out what had happened right after he had stop Kevin's father.

The former patriarch was disappointed to learn what had occurred because he would likely be unable to obtain the item that would have extended his own life. However, as an old man who had already accepted death, he didn't react in the same way as Dean.

Anyway, due to the commotion generated in the middle of the night, many people already knew the reason for that incident the next day's morning.

Some people liked to talk in every community, and it was no different in this town. Captives spoke to each other, listened to conversations, and then talked about it with their masters. But, not only this, the subordinates and direct family members did this as well.

One would inform another, sometimes a close relative, a wife, a husband, or other close family members. The latter would tell others, eventually creating a cycle that grew to thousands in a matter of hours.

And the population of the city ruled by the Chambers family was shocked!

In just one year, the two foremost geniuses of this family had been killed, one the son of the supreme elder, the other the son of the patriarch!

Such reality made some people secretly laugh.

Seeing these talented, proud youths, who lived as if this city were their backyard, where they could do whatever they wanted, getting killed one after the other...

It was gratifying for the standard population, who were generally oppressed by the rulers of this place, to have such news.

In fact, some even secretly toasted the 'respective' responsible for the deaths of Kevin and Leroy...

But not everyone was happy about these deaths. Some people didn't have the displeasure of being the Chambers' actions' targets, so they didn't completely hate them.

Therefore, some even felt sorry for what had happened.

Of course, no one felt sorry that Leroy or Kevin would be missed in this world. No, that was definitely not the reason behind the feeling of pity that some had. What made them feel bad about these deaths was the fact that two talented young men, who were likely to reach the apex of regional power, had died so prematurely!

It was really a huge loss when individuals with everything to become Spiritual Kings in a few years die like that, suddenly, still in their youth, without having had the chance to accomplish anything.

And while the population that had no direct relation to this sovereign family of this place, secretly celebrated, or lamented, the atmosphere was quite heavy among the Chambers.

The Supreme Elder had been in a bad mood for some time now because he could not avenge Leroy's true murderer. Even the death of the bodyguard, Jeff, who had previously fled, hadn't eased Wallace Chambers' bad temper.

And now, with Kevin's death, the entire family was in a state of mourning. This was evidenced by any direct member of that power, who had dark, sharp expressions as if they were capable of murdering anyone who made the slightest error...

Anyway, amid this heavy atmosphere, several conversations were taking place in the corridors of Chambers headquarters.

"Ah, what a tragedy! I heard that young Kevin had gotten such a precious item... But what a twist of fate." An elder said in a low voice while he had a sad look on his face.

Beside this old man, there were some young men following him when one of them asked. "Grandpa, what do you think will happen now? Young master Kevin was the main member of the family in the competition for the patriarchal position, but now..."

"Who knows, Patriarch Dean still has a long way to go, so there's no need for a candidate to come up right away... But it's unfortunate. It will set our family back for many decades..."

...

Elsewhere in Chambers Headquarters, seven men were sitting around a long wooden table, while one of them was at the end of that place, with a beautiful woman sitting beside him.

The woman had deep dark circles in her eyes, which still showed that she had a high-level beauty even though she looked exasperated.

On the other hand, the man beside her had a sharp eye and a dark expression, with his brows tightly drawn together.

This man is the current patriarch of the Chambers family, the father of the late Kevin.

On his side was his first wife, Kevin's mother, Eleanor Chambers, level 53.

As for the other people in the room, they were all members of the Chambers family, Spiritual Kings who led this entire organization.

In addition to some critical elders from this family, there was also the supreme elder, Wallace Chambers, level 55, and the former patriarch, Vergil Chambers, level 57.

They had all talked about Kevin's death as soon as the news had arrived, and the elders had to leave to calm the family patriarch.

However, there were so many possibilities in a situation like this that they couldn't help but come together again, at a time when everyone was calmer.

And at that moment, the former patriarch, who was on Dean's left side, across from Wallace, he then said in a deep voice. "Dean, I know you're mad at losing little Kevin, but let's take this situation calmly. I'm also very upset about what happened, but we have to put the family first. Our revenge will naturally come if we do this calmly!"

Hearing this, Wallace immediately agreed. "The old patriarch is right, Dean. I know what you're through, as I lost my beloved son a short time ago, but let's investigate this murder of little Kevin and bring justice to our family!"

"That's right!" The others Spiritual Kings in the room commented in one sound.

Finally, young Kevin's mother decided to intrude on the conversation when she said painfully. "I know family comes first, but he is my son! They killed my baby when he should have been inside one of our posts! How do you explain this to me? Now, does our family allow murderers into our homes?"

"Eleanor, calm down. Let's talk calmly." The patriarch said, holding his wife's hand. "First, Elder Alvin, we sent a group of them to that base. Where were they when this happened?" He said while looking at one of those people who were in that place.

Hearing the question, a white-haired man coughed a little and then looked in the direction of Dean and Eleanor. "Patriarch, the group we sent could not have arrived at that post before the death of the young master Kevin." contemporary romance

"Oh? So the base was raided even before that…" Another person commented in a low voice.

"But where did this group come from, who could even break down a barrier and kill that young man, ehhh, Jamie? There shouldn't be any power capable of doing that so fast in that region!" A level 54 elder made this comment, trying to understand this story.

"It's really weird. We used the fastest beasts of our family, and yet someone even arrived before us... Could it be that a Spiritual King was passing by, by coincidence, in the city of Hadia and heard the information about the Spring of Life?"

"It's possible. We'll send an investigator to look into this in Hadia..."

...

"We'll send another one to Farmland. This is a place our enemy may have passed too..."

...

"Finally, send another group to that post. The three Spiritual Kings we sent out earlier must have already started their investigations, so I want to know as soon as possible what they find out!" The patriarch finished speaking after listing everything he hoped would be done to resolve this matter.

'Whoever it is, I will completely destroy them!' He thought as he held his wife's hands and looked at the people in front of him.
