Rewinding back to the phone call at the auction hall.
_________
"HELP! The Sloan Family is under attack!"
Daniel, one of the elders, finally called Jevon to inform Ainsley.
Why? Because a sacred beast from the Aretha Family joined the battlefield!
Daniel didn't think that they could survive. Thus, he immediately decided to let their family head rally some external help to help them.
"Jevon, listen. Please tell the family head to get as much help as she can to help our family! Return quickly. Else the Sloan Family will vanish!"
Daniel didn't say anything about the Aretha Family attacking and instantly cut off the call.
Since he called Jevon in secret, he couldn't stay too long, afraid that Grandpa Yofan would hear him.
Jevon, who was still baffled, almost threw his phone to the wall.
Wait, what?! What the heck– what do you mean, elder?! Someone is attacking our family??
Even those around Jevon, who overheard the call, were also baffled.
Since when the Sloan Family is under attack?
Evan, Jake, and the big shots tilted their heads, still in shock, especially Evan.
If the Sloan Family is under attack, my family should know about it since the Sloan Family is still my family's ally even though it's just an ordinary alliance.
But I didn't get any call about this?
Evan's face darkened. He immediately called his men back home while Ainsley looked up at Jevon in a daze.
"W-what? Jevwon, what...what's gwoing on?" The baby wobbled to Jevon's legs, not caring about her new subordinate anymore.
The baby's adorable smile already vanished, leaving a grim face behind.
Jevon was stunned for a few seconds, still holding his phone before he snapped out of his daze. He looked down at the baby and spoke in a trembling voice.
"B-boss. It seems that o-our family...is...is under a-attack."
BOOM!
Something exploded in Ainsley's mind. Her ears were buzzing. Her sight was spinning around. Her mind blackened for a second.
My family...my family, is under attack?
Ainsley's blood turned cold. Her heart beats like mad as she dashed to Elliana and the others, who weren't that far away from Jevon's place.
"Quick! Quick! G-go home! Hurry!"
Ainsley didn't care whether her family was indeed under attack or not. At this point, her priority was to go home as soon as she could.
My family...my family...might be in danger!
Elliana and the others were also alarmed. They couldn't snap out of the news until Ainsley shouted at them.
"Guys, hurry!"
Only then did the others finally embrace reality. All of them gritted their teeth and nodded.
"Yes, boss!"
The situation became chaotic. Ainsley's bodyguards went to get Axelle and bring him into the carriage.
On the other hand, Ainsley begged the auction host to let her delay the payment because of an emergency.
Thank God Jake was there. Thus, the casino host made an exception for Ainsley and let her go with Axelle.
At the same time, Evan had just finished his call. His face was now so dark that one could squeeze an ink out of it.
The Sloan Family is indeed under attack! And the assaulter is the Aretha Family.
But my men didn't call me because they don't think it's worth it to mobilise the Walter Family troops just to aid a small family like the Sloan Family!
Evan's blood rushed to his head. His teeth clamoured against each other as he clenched his fists tightly, almost releasing his special ability without warning.
Damn. Without me at the main territory, the Walter Family troops can't be mobilized so easily if it's to aid other families!
Evan hadn't put on the proposal to lift the Sloan Family's status as the Walter Family's sworn ally yet because it needed inspections and other complicated procedures.
However, it was exactly the reason why the Walter Family only sent a small troop to help the Sloan Family even though the Sloan Family was attacked from all sides!
Evan regretted it. He regretted that he didn't immediately push the proposal ahead. He didn't work fast enough...and it resulted in this!
Evan gritted his teeth once more as he looked at Ainsley and her group, who was already exiting the auction hall.
Seeing Evan's face was not looking good, Finley, who had been trying to keep calm, couldn't hold it back anymore.
He immediately pulled his dad's arm and asked.
"Dad, dad? Is the news true? Who attacked the Sloan Family? And if it's true, why didn't our family help them until they had to call Ain?"
Finley fidgeted as he dragged his dad into following Ainsley and her group. Even Jake already followed right behind Ainsley.
Evan paused a bit. He kept walking fast, but he didn't speak for a few seconds until he let out a sigh.
"Yes, son, the news is true. The Sloan Family is indeed under attack, and the enemy is from the Aretha Family!" Evan explained the situation to Finley.
When Finley heard of it, his eyes darkened. He almost crushed the floor under his feet.
The Aretha Family! My men didn't come back last night...and I checked what's wrong with them but found no trace of their situation, whether dead or alive.
It must be the Aretha Family doings! My men must be silenced because they know about the invasion plan.
In that instant, Finley felt a pang of guilt. He suddenly felt so hopeless and useless that he thought that he better be dead right away.
If...if my network system is better than now, I would have discovered the plan and could stop them!
The Aretha bastards wouldn't be able to attack the Sloan Family out of nowhere…
Fck! Fck!
Quick. I must help Ain. I must help the Sloan Family!
