Chapter 53 Tough Resistance
Back then, those who went to the Bennett family villa were the core members of the Four Great Families, as ordinary members couldn't access such secrets.
After the Bennett family was exterminated, the Four Great Families didn't mention a word about it.
However, rumors spread outside.
Some said Ryan committed suicide out of guilt and set the Bennett family on fire before his death to burn away his sins.
Others said the Bennett family offended a big shot, leading to their downfall.
However, no one knew the truth.
Now, Larry had issued a death notice: Kneel for ten days, then commit suicide.
That was impossible.
These people were now very wealthy, with millions of dollars in assets and endless luxury. It was impossible for them to kneel for ten days and then end their lives.
The heads of the three families left Roxanne's hospital room one after another.
Soon, Kevin's eldest son, Roxanne's older brother Henry, hurried to the hospital.
"Roxanne, what are you talking about? Kneel for ten days and then commit suicide?" Henry asked anxiously.
"Henry, don't ask. Just do as I say. Let them go. It's better for a few to die than for the entire Hall family to perish," Roxanne cried sorrowfully.
She regretted it deeply!
All of this was Frederick's arrangement.
If it weren't for Frederick, she wouldn't have approached Ryan, married him, or caused the Bennett family to fall apart for the Artwork of Moonlit.
However, where was the Artwork of Moonlit?
Roxanne didn't know. Because the only one who knew its whereabouts was Frederick. He was already dead.
"Roxanne, what are you afraid of? Who is the remnant of the Bennett family, and how powerful can he be?" Henry kept asking.
Hnery thought, 'Go to the Bennett family cemetery, kneel for ten days, and then commit suicide?
'That is absolutely impossible.
'No one would do this'.
"I can't say. If I do, the Hall family will be destroyed even faster. There are so many people in the Hall family. I don't want them to die because of me," Roxanne cried bitterly.
Henry's expression was serious.
He knew his sister's character well. She had never been afraid of anyone all these years.
He thought, 'Now, the remnant of the Bennett family scares her so much.
'How terrifying must this person be?'
Henry said, "Roxanne, let's go find Free King. Frederick was a trusted subordinate of Free King. Now that Frederick is dead, Free King will surely protect us for Frederick's sake."
"It's useless, really useless," Roxanne cried, "If it were useful, Free King would have acted already. Henry, don't you understand? The one who wants to destroy the Hall family is someone even Free King fears."
Her words were like a bolt from the blue, echoing in Henry's mind.
Henry took a few steps back, his face pale, her heart skipping a beat, breathing heavily. He exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible, that's absolutely impossible. Free King is the commander of the Western Territory, one of the five commanders. Someone more terrifying than Free King? That's impossible."
Roxanne said tearfully, "Henry, that's all I have to say. Whether you do it or not is up to you. I can't even protect myself now, let alone the Hall family."
Meanwhile, the heads of the other three families gathered together.
Zachary, the head of the Johnson Family, asked with a serious expression, "What do you think Roxanne is afraid of? The Hall family has a good relationship with Free King, and Frederick was a valued subordinate of Free King. But now she's so scared."
Harold Wilson of the Wilson Family said coldly, "I don't believe the remnant of the Bennett family can wipe out our Wilson Family."
"Exactly." Louis Garcia, the current head of the Garcia Family, agreed. "There's nothing to be afraid of. I have a good relationship with Dennis Barnes from the gang. Dennis has many subordinates. I'll give him some money to protect the Garcia Family for a while."
It was impossible for them to go to the Bennett family cemetery, kneel for ten days, and then commit suicide.
Now that the head of the family was dead, it was their turn to take charge. With billions dollars in assets, they would never abandon their dignity to kneel, nor would they commit suicide after kneeling.
The three gathered to discuss countermeasures.
After deliberation, they decided to resist.
The three families contacted people from the underworld, spending a lot of money to invite many gang members to gather at the three families. If the remnant of the Bennett family dared to come, they would ensure his death.
However, even the deputy general of the Western Territory and the elite Western Territory Army died at the Sunset City Hotel. Ordinary gang members couldn't possibly protect them.
However, at this point, they had no choice but to fight.
They didn't know how severe the consequences would be if they failed.
The Four Great Families were in a state of panic.
This was an internal matter of the Four Great Families, unknown to the outside world.
The outside world only knew that the Four Great Families were in big trouble. Kevin of the Hall family was brutally killed at his birthday party, and then Frederick of the Hall family also died.
Now it was the heads of the other three families.
Important people of the Four Great Families were all dead.
This was definitely a sensational event in Sunset City.
However, because of Free King's succession, these events was suppressed by Free King.
Now that Free King's succession was over, people began to discuss the matters of the Four Great Families.
"The Four Great Families offended a big shot. The Hall family is finished, and the other three families are about to be finished too."
"The power structure of Sunset City is about to be reshuffled."
"Who can replace the Four Great Families and become the new elite in Sunset City?"
"The Foster family has the qualifications. Their assets are comparable to the Four Great Families."
"The Smith family also has a chance."
As Free King's succession ceremony ended, the people of Sunset City were all paying attention to the Four Great Families, discussing when the other three families would be finished.
They were all discussing which family could replace the Four Great Families and become the new elite in Sunset City.
Rumors were flying outside.
Meanwhile, after notifying the Four Great Families, Larry returned to the Lewis family and became a househusband, cleaning the house thoroughly.
The current him was completely different from the one who went to the Four Great Families.
The Larry who went to the Four Great Families was like a grim reaper.
After cleaning the room, he saw that it was about time, so he went out to the supermarket to buy groceries and cook.
He rode his electric bike, humming a tune, leisurely heading to the supermarket.
Meanwhile, in a certain building in Sunset City, on the eighteenth floor.
This was a luxurious office. In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows stood a tall woman, arms crossed, looking out at the entire city.
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." The woman snapped out of her thoughts and sat down in her office chair.
She had a flawless face, with exquisite features, like a meticulously crafted work of art, so perfect and without blemish.
"Ms. Moore, we have found out. This person is named Larry, the son-in-law of the Lewis family."
"Larry?" The woman was taken aback.
She was Kelly Moore, from the Moore family of Aurora Citadel, responsible for the Moore family's business in Sunset City.
Yesterday, she was on her way to an important banquet. But on the way, her car was hijacked, her driver was thrown onto the road, and the hijacker ran red lights all the way to the Ella Group.
Kelly saw Larry storm into the Ella Group, knocking down a dozen security guards in an instant.
As for what Larry did after rushing in, she didn't know. But she knew that the police were dispatched immediately, followed by the military, and even Free King showed up in person.
Then, it was publicly announced as a drill.
Only Kelly knew it was definitely not a drill.
So, she had someone investigate the hijacker's identity and found out he was Larry, the son-in-law of the Lewis family.
Shetapped rhythmically on the desk.
She said, "Free King personally suppressed this matter. Who exactly is this Larry? Could his identity be more terrifying than Free King's?"
