Chapter 22: You Want to Step on the Leon Family to Get Higher? Then We'll See If You Have the Ability!
Editor: Henyee Translations
"Neil, come with me."
Mikhos immediately stood up with a wave of his hand and prepared to walk out.
The old butler Neil didn't say much.
He knew that once Old Master Mikhos decided on something, no one could change it.
Mitchell wanted to persuade him, but Mikhos had already said that this matter concerned the Leon family's reputation.
Since that was the case, it was not convenient for him to persuade him anymore.
However, this matter had started because of him, so Mitchell naturally couldn't just stand by and watch.
"Since this matter started because of me, I'll go with you."
With that, he stood up and followed Mikhos out.
Mikhos initially wanted Mitchell to stay, but all he saw was Mitchell's determined gaze.
Seeing that look, Mikhos understood.
Mitchell, like himself, had a personality that wouldn't change his mind once he'd made it up .
"Good, my nephew is indeed a real man. Then, let's go meet the Kerr family together. I want to see just what sort of confidence the Kerr clan has to dare oppose our Leon clan!"
***
After all, the Leon clan had a big household. They quickly gathered a group of experts and headed towards the Kerr Clan's territory with great fanfare.
Along the way, Mitchell observed that the people summoned by Mikhos were almost all very powerful mages. There were only a few warriors.
It seemed that humans were more focused on affinity with the elements, so learning magic was more mainstream than learning battle techniques.
At the same time, people also thought that mages were much more noble than warriors.
Mitchell could not help but consider. Since he had already obtained the genes of elemental affinity, why not try to learn magic?
Just as he was thinking, their entourage had already arrived at the Kerr residence.
Although it was also very luxurious, Mitchell could tell at a glance that this residence was still much inferior to the Leon Family's residence.
From the looks of it, Mikhos was not bragging when he spoke of being the number one family in Storm City.
***
When the guards saw them coming over aggressively, they could tell that they did not come with good intentions. Hence, they immediately went in to report.
Before Mikhos could step forward, the other party sent his men out.
Mikhos looked at the person who came out with befuddlement.
"Lionel?"
The man named Lionel now was looking at Mikhos with a smug expression. He had no intention of backing down.
"Lord Leon, how have you been?"
Mihos snorted when he saw this,
"Tell your family head to come out. You are not fit to speak to me!"
"Family head?" Laina sneered and said proudly, "Excuse me, I am the family head of the Kerr family now."
!
Mikhos frowned at that.
No wonder someone in Storm City dared to not give him any face. It turned out that the Kerr Family had changed their family head.
When a young man became the head of the Kerr family, he would naturally be flexing his muscles. He would be fearless.
However, Mikhos didn't bring his people here to reason with them.
"Little Lionel, since you've become the head of the family, your every word and action represents the Kerr family. Do you understand what I mean?"
Mikhos was not an unreasonable person but he cared a lot about his reputation.
He knew that the other party was high-spirited and proud of himself right now, so he wanted to subtly give him a warning.
However, Lionel did not take Mikhos, the head of the Leon family, seriously. He simply sneered,
"What? Is the Leon Clan trying to steal something from my Kerr clan outright now?"
By this point, Mikhos' face had grown cold.
Even if the Leon Clan was extremely powerful in Storm City, it was not to the extent of openly robbing people in Storm City in broad daylight.
However, most families would give the Leon Family some face.
Many things in Storm City would be very convenient for the people who were on good terms with the Leon Family.
However, if they were to go against the Leon Family, then the Leon Family would have ten thousand ways to make that family suffer.
Even if Mikhos returned right now, he was completely capable of toppling the Kerr Family and rendering them unable to survive in Storm City.
However, this became a matter of pride now.
Since Mikhos had already declared that he was going to get the Storm City's rare beasts for his nephew Mitchell, then he wouldn't be going back now!
Looking at the high-spirited young man in front of him, Mikhos said coldly,
"It looks like we, the Leon Family has been keeping a low profile for too long that any Tom, Dick and Harry dares to sh*t all over all heads now. Do you know the consequences of going against us, the Leon Family?"
Just as Lionel was about to say something, a masked man beside him lightly touched his hand.
Then, Lionel paused for a moment and corrected himself,
"We, the Kerr Clan, naturally do not dare to oppose the Leon Clan. However, the Leon Family couldn't be robbing others in Storm City in broad daylight either, right?"
With that said, he paused and smilingly suggested,
"I don't have much experience so I don't know just how formidable the Leon Family is. But, we, the Kerr Clan, don't want to become enemies with the Leon Clan. How about this? You and I will send our experts out for a competition. If the Leon Family wins, then I will hand over whatever the Leon Family wants. However, if the Kerr Clan wins, then we would like to ask the Leon Clan to give us control over the eastern marketplace. How about that?"
Now, anyone could tell clearly that Lionel Kerr had already planned this for a long time.
They wanted to step on the Leon Family to become the number one family in Storm City!
The value of the eastern marketplace wasn't something that could be explained in a few words.
The Leon family would suffer a great loss if they lost control of the eastern marketplace.
Moreover, if the Kerr Clan won this arranged competition, the Leon Clan wouldn't be able to retaliate against the Kerr Clan.
Otherwise, the entire Storm City would look down on them.
By then, all the clans in Storm City would be secretly discussing that the Leon Clan was a sore loser even though they wouldn't dare to say it out right.
Overall, the terms of this competition was rather unfair towards the Leon Family.
In other words, this was clearly an unfair competition.
However, Mikhos Leon laughed out loudly before replying,
"Great, great! I never expected that someone in Storm City would dare to challenge us, the Leon Family. I accept this challenge!"
How could Mikhos not see what was going on in Lionel's mind?
However, he was still extremely confident in this competition.
The Leon Family didn't become the number one family in Storm City by simply depending on the soft power of money.
When it comes to hard power, Mikhos was extremely confident too!
You want to step on the Leon Family to climb up the ranks? Let's see if you have the ability!
However, Mitchell could see it clearly from behind.
Lionel's face broke into a winning smile right then.
