The Yggdrasills were currently celebrating Shawn’s wife’s birthday.
The family had some status within the city. Moreover, one of their daughters had been accepted as a Plenilune Sect disciple, who was in charge of the area. Hence, with this, the Yggdrasills surpassed their reputation.
In the morning, nobles within the city arrived to give their felicitations. Then, even more people came at noon. Traditionally, celebrations here were normally held during noon, so most guests arrived during this time.
“The head of the Ganji family has arrived, bearing a gift of three million spiritual stones, wishing the old madam wonderful health and longevity!”
“The Crystal Smiths has arrived with a ten thousand year old reishi!”
“The Divine Larcenist clan has arrived with ancient royal apparel!”
As more powerful figures arrived, the atmosphere in the Yggdrasills home was vivacious. The guests that attended this celebration were of higher status than those who attended Shawn’s birthday last year too.
The reason for this, it was rumored that the alchemist that worked for the other pharmacy in Starborn City would be passing soon. Hence, the best alchemists in the city were all within the Yggdrasill family now. If anyone wanted to get their hands on some pills, they’d probably have to ask from this family from then on. However, Madam Mona was an exception. She wouldn’t make pills for just anyone, even if they begged her.
This was exactly why people decided to come here and flatter the Yggdrasill family. They might just be able to get themselves a favor if they needed it.
“Seeing this many guests coming to our party makes me feel so much more relieved!”
“That just means that that alchemist is actually dying soon.”
Shawn and his wife stood between their two sons, smiling brightly throughout the celebration. He had completely forgotten about meeting up with Alex, despite his warning from before.
“Let’s go and talk to the old lords of other families. The servants can welcome the rest of those middle-class families instead.”
Suddenly, the gates to the Yggdrasill manor were kicked down.
Two five-meter tall steel gates flew into the air as if they were enormous birds. They then crashed into one of the walls of the main buildings within the manor, instantly creating two humongous holes.
Two unlucky people even fainted after getting hit by the flying gates.
“Ah!!!”
“What’s happening?”
“Who dares to come and mess with the Yggdrasill family?”
Shocked by the abrupt shift in the atmosphere, everyone looked towards the entrance.
Kavan was infuriated. He slammed his palms onto the table as favonovel.com stood up abruptly, lunging towards the gates. In just a second, favonovel.com flew back in with greater speed, falling right on his sister-in-law.
The impact on his sister-in-law’s chest was so powerful that favonovel.com rolled favonovel.com eyes back and fell unconscious.
“You insolent bastards! How dare you? Guards, seize them!” Dylan screamed.
Fifty or so guards rushed out immediately, yet they were all puzzled as soon as they reached the entrance.
All of them were stunned in place, none dared to move a muscle.
Dylan was enraged. He was wondering if his power within the family had started to decrease. Otherwise, there was no other reason why the guards wouldn’t listen to him.
“What are you all doing?”
“Why are you just standing there? Are you all logs?”
“Just capture the culprits!”
One of the guards in the back seemed to be petrified. “Master, we can’t!”
“What do you mean you can’t? I’d say that you’re just a good-for-nothing…”
Dylan rushed over but was unable to finish his sentence. ‘Oh f*ck, we actually can’t!’
The entrance was filled with thousands of people in black suits. All of them looked malicious, wearing black apparel and a black mask. They weren’t moving at all, just standing there, looking back at them. The silver guns in their hands were enough to send chills down everyone’s spine.
‘Are those even human?’
‘They look like robots.’
These were the Usoro family’s infamous three thousand Shadow Guards.
