Chapter 343 The Ashford Family's Order
The sky over Imperial City suddenly changed dramatically.
Thunder rumbled, creating a terrifying atmosphere.
Lightning flashed, illuminating the thick clouds.
Within moments, the once clear sky became enveloped in a blanket of dark clouds, casting an eerie darkness over the entire city.
The lightning that pierced the heavens directly illuminated the entire Henderson Manor and lit up Aloysius's face, which showed anger, coldness, and endless killing intent!
As the head of the Henderson family, he had dominated for decades and finally secured his position. He was in his prime and fearless. How could he be scared by a single sentence from William?
"Destroy my family? You're the first person to say that! Arrogant!" Aloysius roared, letting out a beast-like growl from his chest!
Dozens of bodyguards quickly closed in behind him.
At the same time, more people surrounded Henderson Manor, sealing it off completely.
Raindrops began to fall, and then quickly formed a downpour.
Alan opened a black umbrella, standing beside William and shielding him from the rain.
Opposite, Aloysius also had a butler holding an umbrella for him.
The rain poured down, creating a tense atmosphere within the manor.
To outsiders, William seemed to be courting death.
Daring to cause trouble at the Henderson Manor was like digging their own graves!
Raindrops drummed against the umbrellas, creating a rhythmic thudding sound.
The two groups faced off.
William calmly said, "Aloysius, it seems you've forgotten something."
Aloysius, with a cold expression, stared at William and said coldly, "You insolent fool. How dare you trespass onto Henderson Manor? No matter who you are, you will face severe consequences!"
Aloysius was furious. For many years, no one had dared to say they would destroy his family!
William was so ignorant!
William stood under the umbrella, with twelve men behind him, including Benjamin. He took a drag of his cigarette, exhaled the smoke, and looked up at the lightning in the sky.
"The Henderson family has always been dispensable in my eyes. Since you don't believe it, I'll let you see for yourself," William said.
His calm words, combined with the thunderous momentum, sounded incredibly shocking to Aloysius!
Aloysius burst into wild laughter.
He looked at William as if he were an idiot, surrounded by black-suited bodyguards, which were the core and indestructible force of the Henderson family!
How dare this arrogant guy want to destroy the Henderson family?
Aloysius said coldly, "I have no idea where your overconfidence comes from, but your arrogance is undeniable. It's no surprise you harmed my son, but this is where it ends. You are dead today!"
William calmly said, "Aloysius, it seems you really are old. Have you forgotten who crippled your eldest son's legs?"
A roar of anger shook everyone and stunned Aloysius!
A hint of doubt flashed in Aloysius's eyes as he stared at William's face, and suddenly he remembered!
He was the one who crippled Thurlow's legs!
"It's you! William!" Aloysius roared, his eyes bloodshot.
Thurlow was his eldest son, the most promising candidate to inherit the family head position. But because of an incident eight years ago, his legs were crippled, and he had been confined to a wheelchair, away from the core of the Henderson family.
Now, Archibald had also been castrated and could no longer have children.
And the culprit was the very same person who hurt Thurlow back then!
Moreover, the Henderson family had fallen from grace because of that incident eight years ago and had only recently managed to rise again.
But now, William had reappeared.
In an instant, doubt flashed through Aloysius's mind, but it was quickly drowned out by anger. He stared at William under the umbrella and shouted, "William! You've gone too far! I will never let this go! Today, you won't leave here alive. You will pay with your life!"
"Arrest them all!" Aloysius roared, his eyes full of rage.
With his command, several squads quickly surrounded William.
William glanced around, a faint cold smile on his lips, and said, "Are you confident?"
Benjamin stepped forward and said, "No, but I can get out myself."
William's face changed, and he stared at Benjamin for a long time.
At the critical moment, several speeding black Audis suddenly rushed in from the end of the crowd!
The license plates would shock anyone who knew their worth!
These were definitely top-tier family figures.
The cars ignored the Henderson family members, drove straight in, and stopped in front of everyone.
The car doors opened, and several men in suits respectfully stepped out, holding black umbrellas, escorting an elderly man from the central vehicle.
The old man, with a sharp glint in his eyes, immediately focused on William, a slight smile appearing on his face.
He was Emrys Ashford from the Ashford family, which was considered the top hidden family in Imperial City!
Emrys's arrival cut through the tension, exuding authority, making everyone stepped back in respect.
Aloysius, seeing the newcomer, raised an eyebrow and lowered his status, saying, "Emrys, I never expected you to visit my family."
Emrys was definitely a heavyweight figure!
However, Emrys directly ignored Aloysius, leaning on his cane, and walked up to William. With a kind smile, he said, "It's been eight years. You've grown taller."
William, with a humble expression, slightly bowed to Emrys and said, "You picked a bad time to come."
Emrys rolled his eyes at him and said, "Are you truly willing to cause such chaos? This is the Henderson family."
William shrugged, completely unconcerned, and said, "So what? I don't take it seriously."
Emrys sighed and shook his head helplessly, knowing that William was telling the truth.
To the Jones family, nothing in this world could be taken seriously.
"Alright, leave this to me," Emrys said, then turned to Aloysius and said, "Aloysius, for my sake, let's call it off, shall we?"
Aloysius frowned, clearly not expecting that Emrys, who hadn't appeared in years, would come for William!
Was William really that formidable?
The incident from years ago was a taboo for the Henderson family, and only his father, Tavish, knew the details.
Due to that incident, Tavish resigned as the head of the Henderson family. He distanced himself from the core of the family, living in seclusion in the suburbs, no longer involved in family affairs.
Aloysius, with a furrowed brow, stared at William and Emrys, sneering, "Emrys, this is a matter for my family. Are you going to interfere?"
Aloysius sneered, his eyes constantly shifting between William and Emrys.
Emrys showing such favor to a young man was definitely abnormal.
From this alone, it was clear that William had an extraordinary identity.
But, did that mean he wouldn't avenge his two sons?
Although Aloysius was wary of Emrys, knowing that Emrys's background was three levels higher than his own.
But now, in his territory, if it came to a fight, it was uncertain who would win!
"Archibald must have done something wrong. We should investigate this matter thoroughly," Emrys said, his eyes filled with authority.
However, Aloysius laughed loudly, pointed angrily at William, and shouted, "I want to take him, and it's not up to you to interfere!"
In an instant, the entire Henderson Manor was surrounded by a fully armed, well-trained special security team.
These men, upon receiving the order, quickly surrounded the Henderson Manor, preventing anyone from approaching.
The atmosphere was extremely tense.
Moreover, more people in black berets, combat uniforms and boots were continuously rushing out from nearby in an orderly manner!
The sound of combat boots stomping in the puddles was deafening!
The rain intensified, merging the sky and earth into an indistinguishable gray.
The entire manor was filled with a chilling coldness.
Aloysius stood among his guards, his eyes cold as he stared at William and said to Emrys, "Emrys, you should go back. I will not let it go today!"
William still stood calmly under the black umbrella, with only twelve people behind him, but they were extremely calm.
Indeed, these were talents carefully selected by Alan!
They were promising and would be capable of handling things independently in the future.
William, looked coldly at the well-prepared special security team surrounding them, a cold smile on his lips as he said, "Emrys, didn't you bring anyone?"
Emrys shook his head with a helpless smile and said, "Yes, I did."
"That's good," William said with a faint smile, leisurely flicking his cigarette butt to the ground.
With a clap of thunder, Aloysius roared, "Take them all down!"
After all, if the Ashford family's people arrived, things would get messy. That was why they needed to act swiftly and decisively!
In the next second, Emrys shook his head, pulled an item from his pocket with a trembling hand, raised it high, and commanded, "Guys, let's go take down the Hendersons!"
