The news that Renn was leading the knights on another expedition was like a drop of ink falling into the clear water of the royal city's noble families.
This immediately caused panic among the major families, and the heads of the families gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
"Who messed with him again?! Damn it, did he provoke that madman Ryan while Ferde was unconscious?! Are they looking for death?!"
"The target shouldn't be us, right? There's no curfew in the royal city today. Raine can't possibly storm the royal city now, can he?"
Upon hearing this, the noble chieftains in the royal city fell silent.
That seems... right.
They then sent out spies to inquire about Renn's whereabouts.
When it was revealed that Raine's targets were the Zeke and Becker families, many family heads breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyone is fine, as long as it's not them.
...
The Zek family.
Fortunately, the spies sent by the Zeke family to the Gray family's knightly headquarters left just as Renn arrived at the headquarters.
After observing the situation for a while, the Zeke family noticed that Rein was leading two knightly orders towards them. At that moment, the family head, Valen, immediately activated the second plan.
Family continuity plan.
Valen is now filled with regret.
If he had known that Renn had advanced to the sixth rank, why would he have betrayed them? He would have made sure the Gray family was completely satisfied.
After all, that's what he thought before.
With Ferde in a coma, the Gray family only has Jonas, a sixth-tier member, in charge.
If he could simply seize the Grey family's convoy transporting treasures, he, at the peak of the fifth rank, would have a very high chance of breaking through to the sixth rank.
He's a sixth-order rank, Jonas is a sixth-order rank, we're both sixth-order rank, why should I be afraid of you?
With a ruthless heart, he betrayed the Grey family and went it alone.
And that was indeed the case; after seizing the Gray family's treasure, he broke through to the sixth rank.
But who would have thought that kid Renn would go to the Misty Lands and come back from being a fourth-tier to a sixth-tier?
It's important to know that the sixth rank is a significant threshold; he spent a full eight years at the peak of the fifth rank before he was confident of breaking through.
What makes Ryan so special?!
But that was the truth. After Raine led the three knightly orders to destroy the Peyton family, Valen knew that one day Raine would come looking for him.
Therefore, the family secretly released its most promising offspring early on.
These people remained with the Zeke family to cover their tracks.
Before Valen could think much of it, Raine led two knightly orders to the Zeke family manor.
"Valen, who gave you the audacity to betray the Grey family!"
Raine flew through the air and berated Valen in the manor.
Faced with Ryan's questioning, Valen showed no urgency and instead sneered.
"Raine, it's all about the winner taking all."
“I admit that you are the greatest genius since the founding of the Essiah Empire, to reach the sixth rank at this age.”
"But... I don't regret anything I've done!"
"Raine! I know I'm no match for you, but you can never destroy my Zeke family! Never!"
Renn scoffed: "Ha, you mean those young people you secretly sent out?"
"I'm sorry, they may have met the God of Warriors before you."
Upon hearing this, Valen froze on the spot, his eyes gradually turning bloodshot, and he unleashed sixth-order battle qi as he charged toward Rein.
"Raine, I'll make you pay with your life!!"
