Leo Reeves turned his head and glared at his granddaughter. Why is it taking so long to tell her something so important?
He looked up at Lin Qianqian and the other two again, his heart pounding, wondering if he could take back what he had just said.
However, he dared not ask that question aloud, fearing that the other party would turn hostile and leave.
If he could truly retake Rivi City and capture those rebellious sons who betrayed him, it would be worth it even if it meant going bankrupt.
He cleared his throat and, suppressing his heartache, spoke again.
"As long as we can retake Rivi City, money and treasures are not important. What are your thoughts on this matter?"
"If you have no ideas, just go find your unfilial sons."
Lin Qianqian didn't want to waste her energy on such things. She had been in this world for several days and hadn't made a single deal yet, so she was getting anxious and didn't want to rack her brains for schemes.
I plan to resolve this matter in the most direct and forceful way.
Yunze had no objections; his wife could do whatever she wanted!
Their current soaring strength means they are no longer afraid of even the high-end combat forces of this plane, let alone the elves, dragons, and demons.
Actually, both he and Qianqian were looking forward to seeing these creatures.
Luo Zexuan had a few plans in mind, but seeing that his boss intended to use force to overpower him, he kept quiet.
Lin Qianqian asked Leo, "Do you know how long it will take for someone to come?"
"Although I was unconscious before, I would occasionally wake up. I don't know about other times, but someone should come around mealtimes."
"But the two servants who were there before complained that you were pooping everywhere and weren't going to come and feed you rice porridge anymore."
"Huh? This..."
Leo blushed, unsure of what to say.
My esteemed sir, is it really necessary to speak so directly?
Lin Qianqian didn't give them any face, since he had just blatantly tried to take advantage of them.
Although I know this is only natural, I still feel uncomfortable!
As they were talking, footsteps came from the hallway outside the room.
Lin Qianqian disappeared again, and Leo Reeves lay back down on the bed.
Besides the two male servants, a man and a woman, both around twenty years old, entered.
Belle Baker recognized both the man and the woman.
It was their seventh uncle, Edgar Reeves, and their seventh aunt, Rika.
Belle's seventh uncle and her mother were half-brothers.
Her mother and her two maternal uncles were all born to her maternal grandfather's first wife, but unfortunately her maternal grandmother passed away early.
Later, her grandfather's second wife died in an accident, and he then married his third wife.
As a result, his third wife left with his sickly sixth uncle, and then his maternal grandfather married a fourth wife.
My seventh uncle was my maternal grandfather's fourth wife, and also the son of his current wife.
She's only seven or eight years older than the siblings, and she used to play with them when they were little, but now...
We won't go into details for now, but we can see that after the man and woman came over, they didn't get too close to the bed.
Because Leo couldn't control his eating, drinking, and bodily functions before, the bed smelled very bad.
They had grown up in luxury and couldn't stand this, so they only glanced at it from afar and didn't approach.
Fortunately, that's how it is, so they didn't notice that Leo Reeves's complexion was no longer yellow, his lips were no longer purple, and he was no longer half-dead.
Rika covered her nose with a handkerchief and kept urging her husband on.
"Are you done? Let's go if you're satisfied."
"Hey, what's with the rush? I need to see things more clearly before I can give my fourth and fifth brothers an update on their father's situation."
Edgar turned and angrily rebuked his wife for urging him on.
"What's so interesting about it? It's still the same old thing."
Edgar glanced at it again, then turned to leave.
"I did this just in case. Although I have confidence in the Abyssal Serpent Poison provided by the Kingdom of Kaven, and believe the person couldn't possibly wake up, I still need to see it with my own eyes to be at ease. We meant well, using only a trace of the venom to spare his life and prevent him from dying immediately..."
"Well, thank you for sparing my life." A dignified voice rang out.
"There's nothing to thank me for, it's all for..."
Edgar turned around abruptly, looking at the figure sitting by the bed. His face turned visibly pale, as if he had seen a ghost.
Meanwhile, his wife Rika's screams, loud enough to flip one's skull open, rang out from the side.
"Ah..." But no matter how she called out, her voice couldn't get through because there was a soundproof barrier here!
At the same time, the things the two servants were carrying fell to the ground with a clatter.
The two were so frightened that they immediately knelt down, lying on the ground trembling all over.
They really didn't expect that the city lord would wake up.
They had long been bribed by the Fourth Young Master and were considered his men. They knew some inside information, which is why they were assigned to take care of the city lord.
Nominally it was to take care of him, but in reality it was to monitor him and report the city lord's situation to the fourth young master at any time.
But unexpectedly...
Do they have any chance of survival?
Hopefully, the city lord was truly unconscious and had no awareness of the outside world; otherwise, the two of them would have no chance of survival.
Seeing that Leo Reeves had stopped pretending, Lin Qianqian and the other four also deactivated their invisibility and appeared in front of the four.
Lin Qianqian snapped her fingers and said "Noisy!"
Rika's terrified screams stopped immediately. Her mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out, which terrified her even more.
At the same time, Belle, holding her wand and about to cast a silencing spell, turned her hand and hurled a wind blade at her seventh uncle, which instantly struck Edgar's leg.
Edgar fell to his knees with a thud, and then a sharp pain shot through his knees; his kneecaps were definitely shattered.
"Ouch...it hurts!"
He looked up and saw Belle Beck's gloomy face, and three strangers by the window.
He howled for a long time, but no one came in, which meant that the place was under a magical barrier, and no one would know if he died here.
Fear and terror crept into his heart. He crawled painfully to his father, grabbed his trouser leg, and stammered out his words.
"Father, it's...it's so good, you're finally awake. I...I was so worried about you."
Leo Reeves looked at his son, who was usually eloquent and well-liked by him.
He suddenly felt like a failure as a father because he was shocked that his fourth and fifth brothers dared to poison him together.
Leo kicked him away. "Worried about me? You should be worried that when I wake up, it will be your death day."
“Father, no,” Edgar tried to argue.
Leo Reeves had neither the time nor the inclination to listen to his nonsense, and knocked his own son unconscious with a single slap.
He was struck with just one palm, and his body, which had just woken up, could not withstand it.
He supported himself with his arms, looked at Belle and her siblings, and then at Lin Qianqian and the others.
Lin Qianqian understood what he meant, and waved her hand, signaling her to come over.
She walked up to Rika and pinched her chin.
First, they lifted her silence, then they used the Soul-Stealing Curse on her.
“Go tell Belle’s fourth and fifth uncles that the situation here at the city lord has changed, and ask them to come over immediately.”
A green glint flashed in Rika's eyes, she swayed for a moment, and then returned to normal.
She straightened her clothes and then hurriedly walked outside.
