Panlong: Science Comes to the Magical Universe

Chapter 8: The Bold Ryan Family

Just as the emperor of the empire was arguing angrily with his ministers, a storm was also brewing in the territory of the Ryan family.

In the family hall, the current head of the Ryan family, Walker Ryan, sat in the first seat with an imposing manner, and below him was the chief elder of the family, followed by the other elders who took their seats one by one.

"Master, that Seward is so bold that he dares to reject our request like this! We must do something!"

The great elder below was the first to speak, and he pointed the finger directly at Seward, his tone filled with some anger.

Not long ago, their family approached Sayward to discuss the grade of a batch of goods.

As a result, Seward did not give any face at all and refused without saying a word. He also said that this was the rule of Xuanshen Island and no one could break it.

This made the Great Elder very angry. In his opinion, a businessman dared to humiliate their family like this, so he deserved to die.

"But, since Seward has Xuanshen Island behind him, it's not easy for us to take direct action."

A different voice sounded, speaking hesitantly.

"He, Saiward, has the Xuanshen Island behind him. Does that mean our Ryan family is afraid? We are a family of the Lingest Empire!"

The Great Elder immediately glared at him, as if he wanted to fight with him.

"Okay, Great Elder, we are having a family meeting. Even if someone said something wrong, you shouldn't be so excited."

Patriarch Walker looked at the scene and interrupted.

The Great Elder nodded, didn't care, and sat down directly.

Moreover, the head of the family just said that he was wrong on the surface, but in fact he implied that the elder was wrong, which was equivalent to defining the matter, that is, being tough.

The head of the family did not scold the elder just now, but directly expressed his opinion that the elder was wrong.

The Ryan family, since the establishment of the Lingest Empire a hundred years ago, Ryan, who followed Lingest, obtained the title of Duke and then settled in the coastal province of Hyde.

Ryan was a mercenary in his early years with a casual personality. Later, he followed Lingest as an attendant, and finally became a general until he became a sanctuary.

Everyone in the Ryan family takes Ryan as an example and has always learned Ryan's style of doing things. They treat people around them in a strong and harsh manner and always keep their word.

Until twenty years ago, a marquis could not stand their family's attitude and taught a dandy boy in their family a lesson.

Although that dandy young man usually bullies the people in the village, he is a member of their Ryan family after all, so how can he be bullied by outsiders?

Marquis? Ninth level strongman? They didn't care. Not to mention that their ancestor Ryan was a Saint Domain strongman, there were five ninth level strongmen in the family, including two direct bloodlines and three mercenaries.

In order to ensure that everything went smoothly, Chief Walker personally led two level nine warriors and a large number of mercenaries into action.

However, what Walker didn't expect was that the guy was so difficult to deal with. He was able to hold back the three of them for a quarter of an hour, allowing an old guy and a child to escape.

Because of this incident, the family issued a hunting order and searched for a long time, but to no avail.

Until that day, the ancestor Ryan, who had been in seclusion for a long time without any breakthrough, came out to relax and happened to hear about this matter, so he investigated it.

After checking, I was shocked to find that the old man named Bernas had broken through the holy realm.

Ryan instantly felt murderous intent because he knew very well the difference between the Sanctuary and the Ninth Level.

Even if Bernas remained in the early stage of the Sanctuary for the rest of his life, he could still kill everyone in the Ryan family except Ryan.

What's more, if Bernas continues to break through and reaches the middle stage of the Holy Domain, or even the peak of the Holy Domain, then Ryan himself will be in danger.

Ryan would not allow such a hidden danger to exist around him, so he went directly to attack Berners.

However, what no one expected was that Lord Huo Si would show up and save the two men.

Fortunately, Lord Lingest also stepped in at that time, and the matter came to an end with both sides not aggressing against each other.

Walker recalled the past briefly and continued to issue instructions:
"Pass my order to the head of the family. Arrest Saiward and his butler. Announce that they are missing and suspected to have been attacked by robbers. Then arrange for someone to find a way to take over their property."

"Even if their corporate headquarters doesn't believe us, we can still argue with them. As long as we don't make things public, Xuanshen Island can't say anything."

"Remember, check for crystal balls during the operation. It must not be recorded."

"Back then, the god-level masters jointly set a rule that god-level masters cannot attack the Holy Land without reason. As long as this matter is not made public, Lord Huo Si cannot take action casually."

"Don't kill them after you take them with you. They know a lot of useful information. Let them tell you everything they have learned before you deal with them."

"Don't worry, Master. I guarantee that no one will know about the entire operation, unless they have something that can record our actions without using a crystal ball."

The Great Elder nodded in a self-righteous manner, indicating that it was no problem.

As the patriarch's order came out, the elders inside the hall nodded secretly.

This style of doing things is exactly the overall style of their family and also reflects the will of many elders.

Only the elder who had opposed before opened his mouth, but finally closed it. However, he had a bad feeling in his heart. He felt that Xuanshen Island would not let it go this time.

Over the years, he actually had some opinions about some of the family's practices. In his opinion, the family was not a mercenary and their style of doing things should change. The family could be fearless, but they should not mess around. Sooner or later, they would get themselves into a fatal disaster.

Unfortunately, his influence was insignificant and no one cared about his ideas. In the end, he could only sigh and leave everything to fate.

As night fell, several figures moved forward at a rapid speed.

At this time, Sayward, who came to inspect the branch, was checking the data analysis report.

During this period of time, he was almost busy like a top. A fast-expanding company has very high requirements for the person in charge, and he dared not slack off at all.

Sayward knew very well that this was an opportunity for himself and his family to be reborn. As long as the task was completed well, he could transform himself from a low-status merchant in the empire into a top entrepreneur on Xuanshen Island.

Although entrepreneurs are also businessmen, they have an additional background guarantee compared to the past, and can be said to be no worse than those imperial nobles.

Naturally, he had to seize this opportunity and complete all the tasks, not daring to relax at all.

"Ok?"

The next second, Sayward suddenly raised his head, put down the pen in his hand, his eyes full of surprise.

As a businessman who has been in the world for many years, he is not a useless person without vigilance. On the contrary, he is a man who has seen blood.

Business war is not a game of house. If the Chamber of Commerce wants to grow bigger, it will inevitably have to shed blood. The enemy will use any means possible, so he is particularly sensitive to possible attacks.

Just now, a slight groan was heard in the darkness, as if it was caused by an assassination attempt but the person did not cover his mouth in time.

As someone who had been assassinated more than once, he was well aware of this voice.

"Damn it! It must be them!"

Seward's brain worked quickly and he immediately realized who the attacker was. It must be someone from the Ryan family.

Although he had few guards, they were all level seven or eight fighters arranged by Xuanshen Island. If he wanted to assassinate them silently, he would need the cooperation of at least two level nine warriors.

In Hyde Province, the only family that can do this is the Ryan family, and they are the only ones who have this motivation.

He had anticipated that the Ryan family might take action. Before, someone from the Ryan family had come to him to discuss the order prices of some goods.

When he refused, he guessed that the Ryan family would not let it go.

I just didn't expect that they would be so bold and dare to assassinate directly. Aren't they afraid that Xuanshen Island would intervene? Who gave them the courage to provoke Xuanshen Island? Provoke Lord Huo Si?
While Seward was thinking, his hands moved very quickly and turned on the button of the indoor surveillance camera.

This was a copy specially given to him by his son Charles, and he placed it directly in his office.

The surveillance footage here can be transmitted to the headquarters of Xuanshen Island.

"You certainly didn't expect the existence of surveillance cameras. As long as we send the video back, we will have evidence. Xuanshen Island will definitely make you pay the price."

A cold light flashed in Seward's eyes, and then he quickly burned and destroyed the documents in his hand.

He did not try to escape. The other party had made sufficient preparations. As a level six warrior, there was no possibility for him to escape under such circumstances.

"Wow! You didn't run away, you have some courage!"

As Walker's voice came, more than a dozen figures appeared in the house at the same time.

"It seems that my guards have all been killed. I never thought that the Ryan family would actually carry out an assassination. Aren't you afraid of Xuanshen Island and Lord Huo Si's blame?"

Seward stared at Walker's face and questioned with an "angry" look on his face.

Of course he was not really angry, or rather, with his shrewdness, even if he was really angry, he would quickly suppress it in this situation.

He was just trying to trick them into saying something outrageous.

"Xuan Shen Island? Do you think our Ryan family cares about this? As for Huo Si, if he dares to go against the will of the world and violate the rules, he will naturally trigger the siege of other god-level strongmen. Huo Si is not afraid of death, so he can give it a try!"

Walker answered directly with disdain.

"How dare you insult Lord Huosi like this."

Sayward continued his questioning, trying to get the other party to say more.

"You talk too much, take me away!"

Walker waved his hand and said no more. Although he had checked before that there was no recording crystal ball here and there was no one else here, so he could talk nonsense, but it would be better not to say too much about insulting the god-level strong men.

"It's a pity, but what he said is enough."

Saiward thought to himself, but he still looked extremely angry and kept cursing.

What Walker didn't know was that just after Sayward was taken away, with a flash of red light, a video file was transmitted back to the headquarters of Xuanshen Island via the Internet.

And what he said in this video would make him, the Ryan family, and even the Lingest Empire pay a huge price.
