Chapter 570 Argument At The Frost Estate



After hearing Elisabeth's question, that imperial family subordinate looked at her accusatory, knowing that this woman had probably fought on Rebecca's side. Unfortunately, he had no proof of this and could not arrest this poison master.

He then said dryly. "Rebecca will stay in Peters City for a few days. Then, when she is found guilty of the destruction of House Vogel, she will be sent to one of the prisons of the empire."

Elisabeth clenched her fists upon hearing that, while those two youths beside her were somewhat moved by it.

The young man was shocked, fearful for Rebecca's safety since she was not weak and therefore would have to be sent to one of the high-level facilities, that is, a dangerous place. As for Rosa, she was pleased, feeling this was her chance to get rid of her rival finally.

'With this, I won't have to worry about you anymore, hehe.' She imagined taking the place of Elisabeth's foremost disciple.

Soon those people from the imperial forces in that city disappeared from the vicinity of Elisabeth's estate. Meanwhile, this woman ran to her car, intending to seek help from her associates at the Ritter Motor Company.

'Rebecca is one of Lothur's women, so it will be in his interest to rescue her from these people!' She thought, leaving her other two disciples behind, already driving through the streets of Peters City.

...

Meanwhile, at the Frost family estate...

This place had at least about three thousand people in its surroundings at the present moment, curious people watching the streets outside this headquarters dirty with the blood of hundreds of warriors.

At the same time, many corpses still lay around. After all, little time had passed since the situation at this place had developed.

With this, the mortals and cultivators watching the area had a chance to see the bodies of several important figures locally being carried off by the Frost family men.

Meanwhile, guards from the Becker, Christen, and Teusen families were on the outskirts taking care of perimeter security while their leaders were inside the inner area of this headquarters.

Unlike the family headquarters that House Koch had practically obliterated, this place had not had its outer walls torn down or suffered considerably from the battle.

There were traces of what had happened for several blocks inside that property, as people had fought there. But this was not damage that would concern a family the size of House Frost after an attack of the magnitude of today.

So as people who didn't know how everything had developed, such as Chris Waldeaur and August Klossner, entered, they were somewhat surprised to see the state of this place.

From what they had heard, a Transcendent had fought in this place with Mabel and several high-level Spiritual Warriors. But still, the place looked fine, with only a few fallen tree branches in the streets and minor nicks and cracks in structures here and there.

At the same time, the men of the Frost family seemed to be collecting only the bodies of enemies, which indicated this family had either had no casualties or few of them.

That was impressive!

Chris commented to August as he headed toward where Aiken and Mabel should be. "The Frost family not only countered the enemy attack well. They slaughtered their opponents."

"Yes, that is a shocking result," August said, surprised, for the men of the Koch family had not warned him.

Not all of Lothur's associates had received the communication from the Koch family. Some of these powers had no guards or armies, only a few cultivators of relevant power.

So to avoid risking the integrity of these weaker groups, the Koch family left them aside and favored the larger families in their society.

The Morning Star Academy had not been notified either since Luis could not act in concert with the rest of them. He was an envoy of the imperial family, not a local leader!

Anyway, those two soon arrived where Mabel and Aiken were together with Gomeric, Luis, the patriarchs Teusen and Christen, and some of the high-level elders of the Frost family.

Luis had just arrived, while the rest of those people had been there since the end of the battle, as they had actively participated in the conflict.

Chris and August saw the wounds all over the bodies of most of those people, each of them dirty with blood and dust, with tired expressions on their faces but victorious sparkles in their eyes.

"Patriarch and matriarch Frost, what happened here?" The Duke went straight to the point, questioning those he was obliged to question.

Aiken looked at that man, whom he had previously expected to join in an attack against his family. But, surprisingly, things had changed considerably, and now this person was no longer on the Frost family's enemy's side.

He replied tiredly, summarizing everything that had happened without reeling. "The Third Prince's allies attacked us with force. But luckily, we were able to discover the enemy's plans minutes before the attack by infiltrators in my family.

After that, we quickly communicated with our allies and got enough support to prevent the massacre of my family."

Chris understood how these people had found out that an attack would happen since he knew about the infiltrators in the Frost family. That's why he fully believed Aiken's words, not suspecting this family had committed crimes on this day.

If they were attacked, they had the right to defend themselves and exterminate their enemies. But if they had planned to ambush those people, there was room for them to be tried for infractions of the imperial laws.

But the evidence favored the Frost family, who had acted in the vicinity of their own headquarters.

That was evidence enough that the side that had been exterminated had been the one with hostile intentions, contrary to the emperor's laws.

But after he and August congratulated that local leader on the swift action and cursed the offenders a bit, someone not far from there shouted to Mabel and Aiken.

"Humph! What about what happened at the headquarters of the Vogel and Baier families? They were completely annihilated!" One of the Transcendents sent by the imperial family to accompany the Secret Realm said aloud.

Another person then commented. "The defense of the Frost estate is not against the rules. A person has to defend what is theirs. That is everyone's right in the empire. But what about the innocents in those two families? They were brutalized without having done anything!

You have committed serious crimes, Mabel, Aiken!"

After those words, the other two Dukes of Leopoldine in that city to buy cars also arrived there, curious to know how everything had happened and how it would end.

At the words of those people, Mabel finally lost her patience and said. "What does this have to do with us? Do you have any proof that we did anything against the headquarters of these families?

We were fighting in this place against people who are part of your faction, you bastard!

Uh? What are you going to say now? If you talk shit accusing us, I hope you also assume what the Third Prince's group did!"
