Chapter 160: The Destruction of the William Family

Seeing that Edna had left, Alan put away his smile.

What happened today was too sudden. The Prince would most probably take revenge on him since he had been humiliated at the castle in the suburbs.

His current situation was very bad.

“Sigh, I’d better stay at home for the time being,” Alan sighed and walked towards the William Family.

What he did not know was that Prince Seidan had already been killed in the Forest of Magic Beasts, and his situation seemed to be much worse than he had imagined.

Not long after Alan entered the William residence, Thor’s figure appeared in the air above the William Family.

“Lady Emily asked me to destroy the William Family, but how should I do it?” Thor bit her finger as she looked at the huge William family, suddenly feeling a little lost.

As an old family in the Imperial Capital, the William Family had a very solid foundation. They were rich and their residences were also extremely vast. Just the castle they lived in alone would take an ordinary person a whole day to explore.

Exterminating such a large family wasn’t something that an ordinary person could do.

As night fell, the William Family was brightly lit, a symbol of great wealth and nobility.

“Fire!! Quick! Come and put out the fire!”

It was unknown whose voice it was, but the William Family suddenly became lively on this quiet night.

Alan walked out of his room in a daze. He grabbed a servant and asked, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

“There’s a fire on the east side of the family. The fire is so big that it’s almost reaching the center of the castle,” The servant said in a panic. This was not a small matter. If Family Head Lowe’s sleep was disturbed, it would be the servants who would suffer.

“There’s a fire?” Alan was quite puzzled at the moment. Most of the buildings in the castle could not be burned. Why would there be a fire?

Something must be off, perhaps the fire was an act of arson!

Could it be Prince Seidan? Was he that eager to find trouble with him?

“Bring me there, I want to take a look,” Alan said. If it was really an act of arson, these servants would not be able to put out the fire because it would most probably be a spell.

He wanted to go take a look and notify Family Head Lowe if necessary.

Alan was dumbfounded the minute he reached the place where the fire had started.

Not only was the castle burning, but even the bluestone floor was also burning.

How was this just any simple fire?

Alan secretly cursed at these servants, they were each more useless than the last. They didn’t even know the most basic common sense.

How could the bluestone floor be on fire? It was obvious that the family was being sabotaged by someone!

In the William Family, the flames soared to the sky. The air they breathed in seemed to be burning as well, making it so that the family members who were putting out the fire had difficulty breathing.

“Hurry up and inform the Family Head! Also, get the water element mages from the family!”

Alan knew that this matter was not as simple as putting out the fire. If there were any powerhouses behind it, he would not be able to handle the situation. Therefore, he had to get Family Head Lowe over to handle this matter.

Looking at the fire spread, Alan could only watch on anxiously.

He was a knight, not a mage. Ordinary water simply couldn’t put out such a fire.

As time passed, the fire quickly engulfed more than half of the William family.

At this moment, Family Head Lowe finally rushed over with the mages.

“What’s going on?” As soon as he arrived, Family Head Lowe frowned and asked.

The spread of the flames seemed to have exceeded his imagination. Wherever the flames burned, no one survived.

How was this a simple fire? It was clear that someone wanted to destroy the William Family!

“Family Head, this isn’t an ordinary flame. I’m afraid it’s probably an advanced spell. Ordinary water is just useless against it,” Seeing Family Head Lowe, Alan hurriedly explained the situation to him.

“Hurry up and cast the spells!” Seeing that the mages he had brought with him were stunned on the spot, Family Head Lowe immediately barked.

The William Family was almost burnt to the ground, yet this group of trash was still standing there in a daze. What a bunch of trash!

With this, only then did the water element mages come to their senses and start condensing the spells on their magic staves.

As they cast their spells, the originally hot air finally seemed to cool down, and the light blue elements began to condense into a huge ball.

The light blue water ball did not seem much, but it contained pure water elements, and each element particle represented an ocean.

Light blue water balls condensed on the tip of the mages’ magic staves. With a wave of their staves, the water balls that contained water elements pounced towards the flames.

When the flames came into contact with the water elements, they shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Seeing this, everyone could not help but heave a sigh of relief. If the flames had been left to burn like just now, the entire William Family would have been burned to a crisp in less than an hour.

If that happened, the foundation that the William family had accumulated for many years would also be reduced to ashes.

“Hmph! Who is it that dares to behave atrociously in the William Family?” Family Head Lowe knew that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, so he looked around and said in a deep voice.

His voice echoed in the air, but no one responded.

“Fire! The fire is burning again!” A moment later, someone in the crowd cried out in fear, causing the relief in everyone’s heart to be gone again.

They looked over, and the flames that had subsided just now had started burning again!

This time, the flames seemed to be even bigger. The hot airwave was of such a temperature that many couldn’t open their eyes. Some low-ranked people even had their skin burned.

The few mages looked at each other and cast the same spell again.

However this time, the cool feeling did not appear. The water balls that contained water elements smashed into the flames and were swallowed in an instant.

They had no effect at all.

This scene caused the expressions of the few mages to change.

“What are you still standing there for? Quickly cast your spells!” Alan was a little anxious when he saw this scene and shouted at the few mages.

“The person who cast this spell is too powerful. Our spells are completely ineffective,” The few mages lowered their heads and said with shame.

The moment these words were said, everyone’s expressions changed greatly.

Family Head Lowe’s face couldn’t help but tremble. These few mages were all tier 6 powerhouses, and some were even tier-7 mages. The spells cast by these few people combined should at least cancel out the spells cast by a peak tier 8 powerhouse, right?

But now they were saying that their spells were ineffective?

If that was so, then what tier was the opponent at? Was he or she an existence that surpassed tier 8?

Who was it that had cast the fire spell? Or rather, why was he or she making a move against the William Family?

“Family head, let’s leave now. Judging from the spell the opponent cast, it doesn’t seem like the opponent intends on sparing our lives!” Someone said to Family Head Lowe.

William’s expression was somewhat ugly as he stared blankly at the burning flames. After a long while, he said, “Hurry up and inform the other family members. Take the precious things of the family and leave this place!”

The family had been around for such a long time, they had quite the foundation.

They could abandon the castle, but they couldn’t abandon their treasures and gold coins.

When the family members heard Family Head Lowe’s words, they began to pack up.

Family Head Lowe took a deep look at the castle and walked away without looking back.
