Chapter 204: Chapter 147: Shocked Family Members, Alliance Forged (Part 2)

The family’s sense of cohesion was even stronger than he imagined.

Even under the influence of interests, they were still able to achieve this.

"Uncle Burn, I understand now!"

Taking a deep breath, Thor nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Alright!"

"Tomorrow I’ll help you persuade the others. With this piece of news, I believe the others should also be willing to stay."

"Let’s hope this isn’t a wrong choice this time!"

Burn nodded and spoke again, sighing softly.

Thor opened his mouth slightly but ultimately said nothing.

After all, he could be certain, but others might not be.

Saying more at this point wouldn’t hold any significance.

It would be better to just wait for what follows.

The night gradually passed.

A new day arrived quickly.

The three lords, who were supposed to arrive last night, were delayed by some affairs.

It wasn’t until early this morning that they arrived at Tono Territory together with their uncle from the North.

Four lords in total, three Baron Lords, and one Senior Lord.

Upon seeing these four,

Thor couldn’t help but be secretly astonished.

The strength of these four lords was extremely powerful.

The three Baron Lords were all Great Knights, each having a Great Knight by their side. The Senior Lord had similarly reached the Late-stage Grand Knight, but compared to Burn, he was much older, now almost sixty years old.

It’s likely difficult for him to breakthrough to an Earth Knight in this lifetime.

The identities of these four are two uncles and two cousins.

Facing Thor, the four were equally curious.

Residing in the Northern Province, even in the West, they had heard quite a bit about this younger brother, this nephew’s legends recently.

And upon seeing him, they couldn’t help but be shocked.

Of course, despite the shock, the four remained extremely enthusiastic.

Then everyone prepared for a banquet.

After the banquet,

everyone headed to the meeting room.

"Tono, what are you planning by gathering us this time?"

Someone couldn’t help but speak, a curious expression on his face.

As he spoke, the eyes of the others naturally fell on Tono.

Tono summoning them at a time like this filled them with doubt, as they had quite a few matters to deal with.

Especially when three had decided to evacuate, and they had started clearing resources yesterday.

"Let me explain to you all!"

Seeing everyone’s gaze converge on Tono, Thor spoke up.

As his voice rang out, everyone’s eyes naturally focused on Thor.

"Thor?"

Everyone was a bit curious, speaking subconsciously.

"It’s like this, everyone should know about the Divine Revelation during this period. Many powerful nobles in the West have already started evacuating..."

Faced with everyone’s curious looks, Thor didn’t beat around the bush but spoke directly about his plans.

And after hearing Thor’s words, everyone exchanged glances, subconsciously wanting to speak but held back, waiting for Thor to finish.

Until his words completely fell.

That uncle furrowed his brows and spoke.

"Thor, the matter of the Divine Revelation is no joke. If it erupts, we won’t be able to withstand it."

"And even if we occupy these places, should the Divine Revelation really pose no threat, they will surely return; we can’t hold on to it."

As he spoke, his brows were tightly furrowed.

He hadn’t expected that Tono summoned them over for this matter.

The other three frowned as well.

"Jerry, this is indeed our opportunity!"

And amid their frowning, Burn also spoke up.

"Burn?"

"What are you saying?"

Jerry, that uncle, couldn’t help but speak, looking at Burn with astonishment.

"Uncle Burn, you are also aware of the Divine Revelation, and even if we occupy these places, with the Dressrosa Family’s power, we can’t hold on to it. The risks are too high, and the benefits limited to just a few months."

Among the three, someone else couldn’t help but speak.

The other two were silent.

But the meaning was evident.

"Thor, the family wants to develop, risk-taking is acceptable, but such risks and benefits are completely disproportionate. Staying, our chances are slim."

"It’s better to leave. Although abandoning the territory requires some atonement costs, it’s unquestionably better than destruction. I know you’re reluctant, but choice is something a noble should learn."

Jerry spoke again, his expression tinged with regret.

He was naturally reluctant to leave unless absolutely necessary.

But the risks of staying at this moment are indeed too large.

The benefits, however, can practically be ignored, so the choice was inevitable.

"Uncle Jerry, my brothers, who said our Dressrosa Family couldn’t swallow this?"

Seeing their expressions and Jerry’s counsel, Thor spoke up again.

But these words, immediately made the four exchange glances and shake their heads.

"Thor, our Dressrosa Family is not weak, but within the Tulip Kingdom, it’s not the strongest. Across the Northern Province, the three Marquis Families are far stronger than us, not to mention descendants of two Duke Families. We can’t swallow it. Even as Counts, let alone Marquis, without a Sky Knight it’s impossible."

Jerry sighed, couldn’t help but explain.

He valued his genius nephew immensely, hence was willing to say more.

But his words had barely fallen.

Burn’s voice rose.

"Brother Engel has broken through to Sky Knight!"

The words weren’t loud, but enough for everyone to hear.

"Yeah, what Burn says is right, with a Sky Knight we can swallow it, but not now."

"No, what?"

"Burn, you!"

Jerry was still echoing along when suddenly he sensed something off and instantaneously turned his gaze towards Burn, voicing in astonishment.

Simultaneously, all three other gazes shot towards Burn.

"Father has indeed broken through to Sky Knight."

"Uncle Jerry, can we swallow it now?"

Thor spoke again.

"Shush!"

All eyes converged once more on Thor.

Each breathing heavily.

Jerry, couldn’t help but lick his lips.

"Thor, Thor, what, what did you just say?"

Jerry’s speech faltered with a stutter, his body trembling from shock.

The other three not much different.

At this moment, their inner turmoil was no less than yesterday’s for Burn and the others.

"When I left, Father had already broken through!"

Thor reiterated earnestly. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

And finally, sounds of chairs falling reached the ears.

The four stood, pupils contracting fiercely.

Overjoyed, excited, thrilled.

Flushed.

Their faces transformed rapidly.

This moment, everyone felt as though their brains were filled with blood.

It wasn’t until a moment later that the four gradually calmed.

But their hearts still couldn’t stop thundering, and the joy on their faces was impossible to hide.

A Sky Knight, that’s a Sky Knight.

Our family actually has a Sky Knight now.

How could this not excite them.

Even at this moment, their thoughts completely changed.

Just like Burn.

When the stance changes, when the situation changes, thoughts naturally undergo a fundamental shift.
