The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 2567

Tor years, the Lake family has been said to be the most likely to replace the
Hacks family-the lowest-ranked members of Janestown's top eight families. The
prospect of being called one of Janestown's top eight families seems to have
made the Lake family get ahead of themselves! Who gave them the nerve to go
after the ashes of a deceased member of the Yorker family? They have a death
wish!" Crystal said coldly with a lingering chill on her beautiful face.

Sean smiled and shook his head, saying, it's not easy to usurp Janestown's top
eight families."

Janestown's top eight families had existed for 100 years without breaking their
heritage. Most things have changed over 100 years, but only Janestown's top
eight families never changed. No matter how the world changes, Janestown's top
eight families will always stand proudly at the peak of Janestown and Dragon
Kingdom.

In the past 100 years, many proud families thought they were qualified to
challenge Janestown's top eight families, but no one succeeded. The families
who challenged Janestown's top eight families fell into ruin, while Janestown's
top eight families remained high and mighty, overlooking everyone.

Perhaps the Lake family in Janestown had become much stronger under Blaze's
leadership, but they're still no match for Janestown's top eight families. Even the
Hacks family who were ranked at the bottom of the top eight families, was not
someone a second-rate family could challenge.

Only those who had no idea what Janestown's top eight families were capable of
doing would spread such a rumor that the Lake family from Janestown was about
to replace the Hacks family and become a new member of the top eight families.
"Hmph, when I get back to Janestown, I'll ask the Lake family what they mean by
going after the ashes of a deceased member of the Yorker family! " Crystal said
after a cold snort.

Kennedy was now outside Max's room. At this point, he did not bother if Max was
still resting.

Kennedy shouted immediately, "Mr. Max Lake! Mr. Max Lake! We have a
problem!"

His voice entered the room and immediately woke Max, who was still sound
asleep. Max slowly opened his eyes, and a look of irritation flashed through his
eyes.

"Come in!"

Kennedy immediately opened the door and entered.

Looking at the anxious Kennedy, Max asked impatiently, "What happened?”

"Mr. Max Lake! Don... Don's dead!" Kennedy answered panickily with a slight
quiver in his voice.

As soon as he spoke, the dumbfounded Max instantly sobered up.

"Don's dead?" Max asked in disbelief.

Don was a Grandmaster Realm expert second only to Great Grandmasters.
There was no way he would die in a small place like Ocean City.

Besides, Don was an expert the Lake family had paid a fortune to hire from Sky
Sect. Ordinary Grandmasters were no match for Don.

Max stared at Kennedy and asked solemnly, "Who killed him? How is there such
an expert in Ocean City?"

Not daring to hold anything back, Kennedy immediately answered, "Mr. Max
Lake! Sean killed Don! Sean came to Lake Residence and insulted you. I wanted
to inform you about this, but Don stopped me."
