Chapter 688 Message
"Locate the rest and kill them."
"Yes, Lord Avalon."
The atmosphere in the Ravenstein main control room was cold.
Across sector 3, many people still hadn't grasped the full significance of what the Ravensteins had just done. Instead, they focused on something else—the message the Ravensteins were trying to send.
It was a warning. One that the other tiered families in sector 3 received loud and clear. There was no mercy for traitors.
However, the people in the control room, along with a select few, knew exactly what had just transpired.
The Ravensteins had annihilated the entire Vermore family, erasing their estate from existence. This wasn't limited to their warriors and armies but included every single person who carried the Vermore bloodline.
Every woman, every child, every youth. Dead.
Of course, not all the Vermores had been in their estate or even in Dusktown, but Avalon was determined to make sure the remaining members were hunted down.
Heavy bounties were placed on each of their heads, spanning the entire human domain. Half of the underground world was already on the lookout.
Even the Vermore family members in the military couldn't escape. They were part of the Ravenstein military faction, making it easier to hunt them down.
The Ravensteins had wiped out their entire family, leaving the surviving members a cause for vengeance. The worst thing they could do was leave the obvious problem to grow and become a threat, even a small one, in the future.
Unfortunately, even tier one families couldn't kill within the academy, meaning the Vermore youths there were the only remaining members of the family. But that wouldn't last long.
It was brutal—ending the lives of an entire family, even the members who likely knew nothing of their kin's sins—but this was the harsh reality of the world. One wrong move, and an entire lineage could be obliterated. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
The worried look on Anastasia's face had disappeared, replaced by a cold expression. She might seem like an overprotective mother to Atticus, but everyone in the room knew her cold blooded nature.
"Who dares?"
An intense wave of killing intent radiated from the elders, engulfing the entire room. The operators in charge began to sweat profusely, their bodies trembling under the weight of the pressure.
"It's the Stellaris!"
The large screen suddenly shifted, displaying an armada of orange airships moving through the air.
Etched on each side of the airships was an insignia that everyone in the control room knew all too well: an orange man holding a sun with one arm.
Avalon's expression darkened. He wasn't focused on the sheer numbers of the army but instead their location!
"They've surrounded the estate!"
Avalon's gaze turned icy. The Stellaris had appeared out of nowhere, right in the heart of their sector!
He didn't bother wasting time trying to figure out how they had managed to do it. Instead, his gaze met the other elders, each of their expressions equally cold.
No one needed to say anything. Avalon turned toward Anastasia and gave her a reassuring nod. Without wasting time, Avalon and the elders strode out of the building.
As they reached the entrance, Avalon's gaze softened when he saw a blue-haired woman standing by the door.
The woman smiled warmly. "Be careful. I'll stay here and help."
"Thanks, Mom."
The woman was none other than Freya Ravenstein, Avalon's mother and Magnus's only wife. Avalon had insisted she stay out of war matters and rest. But considering the current circumstances, it was best that she was here.
Freya gave Avalon a deep hug before walking into the building.
Avalon's expression instantly shifted, his killing intent flaring once more.
The Stellaris had dared to attack their home—he would make sure they paid the price for that.
