“I heard that the Lake family has Thirteen Guardians, all of whom have extraordinary skills. I wonder if it’s true?”
“It didn’t appear out of nowhere. I’ve never seen the Lake family’s Thirteen Guardians. But having secured their position as the top family in Ocean City, I believe that the Lake family must have something up their sleeves that we don’t know!”
“I don’t think the Lake family’s Thirteen Guardians… Have been seen in years.”
Looking at the confident Kennedy, some people who knew some secrets discussed it in a low voice. Their conversation also evoked many people’s memories.
When the Lake family was on the rise, established families in Ocean City sent many men to take down the Lake family. No fewer than ten of the Lake family members were said to have died in the siege of experts sent by the other Ocean City families.
Immediately afterward, the families who had sent men to assassinate the members of the Lake family were wiped out overnight.
Everyone knew that the Lake family had something to do with the downfall of these families, but no one found any evidence, and the matter was eventually dropped. Since then, a legend about the Lake family spread in Ocean City.
The Lake family was rumored to have a team of 13 top experts named the Thirteen Guardians. Each of them was capable of fighting 100 enemies alone.
“Old Master Davis, do you know what they mean by Thirteen Guardians?” Sean asked, looking sideways at Theodore next to him.
Theodore responded with a solemn nod, “The Lake family’s Thirteen Guardians aren’t fictitious. They’re real! The families who sent their men to assassinate the Lake family members were wiped out by these Thirteen Guardians. I’ve only heard about the Thirteen Guardians, but I’ve never actually met them.”
Sean nodded at this. His face was still calm as if the terrifying Thirteen Guardians did not perturb him.
“Dad, are you calling the Thirteen Guardians to come over?” Curtis asked, looking excited.
Kennedy smiled and nodded, indifferently saying, “The Lake family has been quiet for so long that many people seem to forget how terrifying the Lake family is. The Thirteen Guardians have been gone for so long that it’s time for Ocean City to get to know them again…”
Curtis’ face lit up as favonovel.com laughed and said, “Hahaha! If the Thirteen Guardians are striking, Knox and the rest are nothing. Even Optimus Security Services isn’t a problem, let alone Knox! Security guards don’t deserve to be compared to the guardians of the Lake family!”
Fabian, who was standing not far away, also heard the conversation between Kennedy and Curtis. When favonovel.com heard that the Thirteen Guardians were going to strike, Fabian was delighted.
As Ocean City’s mayor, favonovel.com knew more about the Lake family than anyone else. The Lake family’s Thirteen Guardians were much stronger than many thought.
If the Thirteen Guardians did strike and join Lake Security Services, his task would be foolproof. It was not that Fabian was doubting Optimus Security Service. Instead, favonovel.com approved of the Lake family’s Thirteen Guardians’ abilities.
Knox, Khalid, Zion, and Wren on stage heard the crowd’s comments, and the four looked extremely solemn.
“We’re no match for The Lake family’s Thirteen Guardians!” Khalid said solemnly, frowning.
Wren and Zion also looked solemn. Even their eyes had a hint of submission.
“That’s enough! Mr. Lennon spent so much money to give us our freedom back. Are we going to back down so easily? After all these years of the Thirteen Guardians not doing anything, who knows what they’re capable of doing? Maybe they’re worse than us.”
“I don’t want to let Mr. Lennon down. I hope you won’t let Mr. Lennon down either!”
