Chapter 397: The Bart Family!
In the Bart Family, Bart stood respectfully behind an old man. He did not even dare to breathe too loudly.
This old man was the strongest member of the Bart Family, Barr.
“Did Mike really say that?”
Bart’s face was gloomy as he nodded.
Barr’s face also became gloomy as he coldly said, “Hmph, he thinks that just because he is strong, he can look down on everyone else. This kind of person really deserves to die!”
Bart said, “City Lord, I think we should sit down with Mike and have a face-to-face talk. Isn’t that what he wants? At worst, we’ll just give him what he wants.”
Barr turned around and glared at Bart. “Idiot! Do you think he really wants those locations? What’s over there at those locations that he chose? What he wants is the control of those treasuries. Once we fall out with the Dragon Castle in the future, they will lay claim on those treasuries! Most importantly, if he sends someone to infiltrate the Bart Family and bribe the core disciples, he could plant a spy in an important position. Then he won’t even need to make a move! You are too short-sighted. If you can’t continue in this position, tell me as soon as possible. The other houses are all eyeing this position and won’t let go. Their sons are all more promising than that bastard of yours!”
Hearing this, Bart’s face instantly darkened. He shouted angrily, “If that’s the case, why don’t you go and talk to Mike personally and see? You don’t even know Mike’s strength, so why are you making things difficult for your own grandson here!”
“What did you say?” Barr suddenly released his spiritual power.
Although Barr was releasing his spiritual power, Bart still persisted.
Barr looked at Bart with a surprised expression, then it turned to disappointment.
The difference was too great. In his opinion, Barr and Mike were too far apart. When he resisted Barr’s spiritual power just now, and although it was difficult, he could still resist it. As for Mike, Mike had only used one finger, and it crushed all of his confidence. Bart recalled Mike’s last words to him: ‘When Dragon of the Dragon Castle steps into the Bart Family!
Bart was afraid, and also disappointed with his own City Lord. He decided to do something, at least to preserve a part of the power of the castle.
Bart said to Barr, “City Lord, I will resign from his position as the head of the family today. You can choose whoever you like. I’m going to take my useless son to travel around the mountains, drink, and have fun.”
After Bart finished speaking, he tore off his robe and took out thirteen seals from his interspatial ring. He placed them on his robe and then walked out in large strides. “You!” Seeing Bart walk out of the door without any hesitation, Barr had doubts about his decision for the first time. However, he shook his head and all his doubts and doubts were thrown out of his mind. He looked at the thirteen seals, took out the teleportation portal, and said, “Call Buck over.”
An hour later, a man who looked a lot like Bart walked out of the door in high spirits, with a pile of seals in his hands.
Jess was called to the gate of the Great Castle, and he was a little depressed. When he came here, he found that his hall, his aunts, and uncles were all called here. Even his cousin, who had not come out of seclusion for many years, was here.
Jess looked at the gate of the Great Castle and then at the group of people at the gate. He said, “What are we going to do?” Bart patted Jess’s head and said, “I’ve never brought you little guys to hunt. Now that we’ve entered the Cang Mountains, we’re going to hunt for three months.”
When the other youths heard this, they shouted excitedly. Even their cousin, who had yet to come out of seclusion, clenched his fists in excitement. However, Jess was not happy at all. He looked at Bart, his heart filled with questions. He vaguely had an answer.
An inexplicable fear bloomed in his heart. He glanced at the crowd, and he noticed that some of their faces were also filled with worry.
Jace recalled Mike’s appearance. He could not understand why his family was so nervous when that person clearly looked about the same age as him.
After half a day, the group finally left in a grand manner. The Gem Auction Couse and the Dragon Castle received the news at the same time, but their reactions were different. The man walked out of the window, looked at the vast and mighty group in the distance, and said, “Looks like a big piece of meat will be gnawed off from the Bart Family this time.” Mike was eating porridge while listening to Little Jerry’s report. When he heard that Bart had brought all his people into the mountains to fight against the magical beasts, he laughed out loud. “This Bart doesn’t look too stupid. If he hasn’t shown up for the final battle, then we’ll let him go.”
Little Jerry nodded.
Keeping this matter in mind, he looked at Mike and said, “The newly appointed leader of the Bart family is called Buck, the guardian of the Castle Lord. He is also the person with the highest approval rating other than Bart.” Mike nodded and said, “I hope this Buck won’t disappoint me.”.
Little Jerry looked at Mike and also smiled gently.
In the next few days, the atmosphere became even more oppressive. It was so oppressive that the entire Northern Region could smell the arrival of a great battle.
Ordinary people were trembling in fear as they fled. Those with little divine power and the rogue summoners fled even faster. In the blink of an eye, the entire Northern Region seemed to have become a dead city.
The commotion caused by the two great divine powers of the Bart family and the Dragon Castle attracted the attention of many outside divine powers. Some of the divine powers that had originally supported the Bart family were now being used as sacrificial offerings.
The current patriarch of the Bart Family, Buck, looked at the report on the table and said, “We enter the city in two batches. Bart is too timid. He should have attacked with lightning when the first batch entered the city. If we hurt them and scared them, they wouldn’t have dared to interfere with our business. Pass down my orders. Other than the people guarding the treasury, everyone must stay in the castle. Send some people to call Bart back. A great battle is imminent, why would he go hunting?” “No need.” Barr’s voice appeared. “Just let him go. We will prove to him who is
right.”
“Yes…
Although Buck was reluctant, he did not dare to go against Barr’s wishes.
Barr looked at Buck and sighed, saying, “You are now the chief. Everything in the castle is up to you. You have to understand that as the chief, you have to not only command the members of the castle to complete your goal, but also shoulder the important mission of leading the castle to prosperity. Do you understand?”
Buck instantly became excited. He knelt down with a heavy thud and said solemnly, “Please rest assured, City Lord.. I will definitely not let the family down!”
