Chapter 1214Chapter 1214 A Ruthless World
“Ha! The Norton family wants to cause a commotion in Jadeborough?” Zion snorted. “The head of the
Norton family is in seclusion, so it must be his son’s doing.”
One elder asked, “President Zeigler, what should we do next? Aren’t we going to do anything to stop
these families from taking the Norton family’s side?”
“Since Skylar is ambitious, we shall let him be. Let’s see how he’ll teach Jared a lesson. It’s a ruthless
world, and we can enjoy the show from aside.” Zion smirked.
Meanwhile, Skylar was sitting in the patriarch’s seat in the Norton residence.
His father, David Norton, was in seclusion, so he was in charge of all affairs related to the Norton
family.
Skylar had always been in charge of the Norton family’s affairs, but he had never sat in the patriarch’s
seat.
However, things were different today.
The Norton family had destroyed the Village of Villains and captured The Villainous Four alive.

They knew the Norton family had taken advantage of the situation, but Skylar’s courage and the Norton
family’s capability were known to all.
Thus, many martial arts families started forming alliances with the Norton family.“The head of the Lionhead family from the south of the city, Mr. Peter Lionhead, requests a formal
audience!”
“The leader of Dark Sun Sect, Mr. Terry Sheepler, requests a formal audience!”
“The head of Stabilis, Mr. Manuel Hirsh, requests a formal audience!”
That very day, many martial arts families had requested a formal audience with Skylar, and he had
welcomed them all with a pleasant smile.
Skylar was inwardly pleased.
He was young, but many prestigious martial arts families had come to ally with his family.
Skylar knew that even his father couldn’t achieve this feat.
A total of thirty martial arts families ended up joining the Norton family that day.
Skylar was tired, but it was a fruitful day.
“I’ll figure out a way to subdue the martial arts world in Marsingfill, too. By then, no one in Jadeborough
can defeat me!”
Standing at the highest point of the mansion, he lifted his head to stare at the sky. Obviously, he was
too full of himself.
Everyone knew what Skylar had done, but no one stopped him.
They seemed to be waiting for something.
Back in the Dunn residence, Lachlan was wearing an ugly scowl.The Dunn family was at odds with the Norton family, and they used to be of similar strength.
Now that many families had chosen to seek refuge with the Norton family, the Dunn family was no
match for them.
“Why are you still up this late?” Lachlan’s wife asked.
“I can’t sleep!” Lachlan lit a cigarette and took a long puff. “Where is Howard?”
“Howard is in his room. He never came out or spoke a word ever since you took action against Jared,”
his wife grumbled and glared at him.
“Well…” Lachlan exhaled sharply. “I did that for his sake. Why doesn’t he understand?”
“You took someone else’s thing for his sake? Howard told me Jared is his friend, but you ended up
asking him to trick Jared into coming here. You’re nothing but a thief!”
“Women like you know nothing!” Lachlan snapped.
He tossed his cigarette away and went to Howard’s room.
novelbinKnock, knock!
Lachlan knocked on the door and said, “Howard, come out. I need to talk to you.”
“I don’t have anything to say to you! Just leave me alone!” Howard’s furious voice rang out inside his
room.
It had been days, but he still couldn’t get over it.
It was all my fault! I never knew my father was someone that despicable.“I know you’re still upset, but I did that for your sake. Get up and put on some clothes. Bring your
mother to your grandfather’s house. No matter what happens here, don’t come back!” Lachlan ordered
in a stern voice.
