Grimshade was strong, but compared to Jordan, he fell short.”
“Jordan? I’ve heard of him, but I doubt he can help you now,” Gage said calmly.
“Jordan! Please come out!” Caden shouted in the direction of the mountain. After a long silence and no response, he raised his voice again.
“Caden, there’s no need to shout. Jordan is already here,” Gage said. He took out a cardboard box and casually tossed it on the ground. The box burst open, and a severed head rolled out. It was a bloody head with white hair, expression frozen in shock and terror.
“Is that… Jordan?!” Caden gasped. He backed away several steps, and his face contorted in horror. The others reacted similarly, fear and shock written all over their faces. Horror paralyzed their bodies.
“No, it can’t be! Jordan is dead?”
“Jordan was a grandmaster. How could he end up like this? What happened?”
“Shit! It’s over now. If Jordan is dead, the Murray family is in grave danger!”
The members of the Murray family trembled with fear. It was difficult for them to accept the unbelievable sight.
They had never imagined their most powerful asset would meet such a gruesome fate.
“I have to admit, Jordan was strong. If we hadn’t ambushed him, it would have been challenging to overpower him,” Gage admitted.
His weak smile sent shivers down the spines of onlookers. It made them realize the true horror of Gage’s plot against the Murray family.
“No! It can’t be!” Caden shook his head in disbelief. “Jordan was strong. How could Grimshade manage to kill him?”
“He wasn’t alone,” Gage replied casually. He added, “Have you forgotten that Grimshade and Duskfang have always been inseparable? If Grimshade is here, where do you think Duskfang might be?
“Duskfang?” Caden’s eyes widened in surprise. “Is he here as well?” Duskfang, a grandmaster like Grimshade, was renowned for his tremendous strength.
“Bingo!” Gage snapped his fingers.
Behind him, another figure in a black robe revealed a foreign face- Duskfang, a grandmaster martial artist from Eskus. “If Grimshade couldn’t defeat Jordan, how about him and Duskfang together?
‘Gage asked with a smirk. Caden felt a sense of despair wash over him. His legs buckled, and he slumped to the floor with a hopeless look on his pale face. He knew that this was the end.
Jordan was dead, and the Murrays had no more cards to play. With Gage backed by two grandmasters, the Murrays had no chance once the fight began.
The Murrays were facing an impending disaster. At that moment, the Murray family and their guests were overwhelmed by despair and a sense of helplessness. No one had expected that the once- proud Murray family would find itself in such a dire predicament.
“Father…” Gage looked at Christopher with a piercing gaze. “Your pride is broken, and your trust is gone. Now, it’s my turn to be in charge.”
He continued, “Explain what happened in the past, or the Murrays will cease to exist from today onward.”
