She Has Three Little Treasures: Fake Heiress, Yet Captures The Tycoon's Heart-Chapter 957: Here to Ask for Help
It was precisely because such events had occurred that Elias Hawthorne instructed Quinn Thorne to keep a close watch on The Dark Tower.
Although The Dark Tower is now under his command, there are always some old-timers still lingering in their past glory. Yet, they lack any real power and the only plan they can come up with is to meddle in his marriage affairs, hoping to regain their former status through manipulation.
If that was all, Elias wouldn’t care about them at all. But even at this point, Uncle Coleman wouldn’t give up. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Not only did he kidnap the entire Willows Family from Azuria intending to threaten Raina North, freeing Claire Lowell, but he also refused to distribute the pills suppressing the Insect Venom to force the sole surviving man to complete the task swiftly.
Understand that when the Insect Venom activates, the pain is genuinely unbearable, a top-notch Martial Artist couldn’t endure it, let alone the elderly, women, and children. Prolonged suffering would cause them to die from sheer pain!
And it’s not just one person, but over a thousand.
Over a thousand elderly, women, and children, even Elias Hawthorne, known for being ruthless, couldn’t set his blade against this group.
Yet Uncle Coleman not only did it but did it as casually as crushing an ant.
Upon hearing this, Raina North immediately became furious.
After discussing with Elias, she led The Celestial Alliance and elite members of The Dark Tower to relocate this entire group under the cover of night.
Next, Venerable Elder Rivers was in charge of their treatment.
Fortunately, the Insect Venom they had wasn’t particularly severe, so curing it wasn’t difficult. After having them drink the herbal concoction to temporarily suppress the venom, Venerable Elder Rivers quickly dove into the research process.
Raina North instructed Lune to personally oversee the work and then waited for the man’s arrival at The Celestial Alliance.
Unexpectedly, he arrived openly.
Instead of using the Willows Family Head to threaten Raina North to plead Elias to release Claire Lowell, he brought the Willows Family Head to seek help.
He begged Raina for a solution to save his family and the families of his deceased brothers.
When Raina looked at the man kneeling and pleading before her, she couldn’t quite identify her feelings.
She thought, Uncle Coleman could never have imagined that those he regarded as ants would have the courage to betray him.
Raina did not refuse.
No matter how deserving of death this man was, the others were innocent. Moreover, even if he hadn’t come pleading, Raina wouldn’t just stand by and watch so many people die due to private greed.
She wasn’t a saint but still had a basic sense of conscience.
Just then, a knock came on the door, and Pip Finch entered the room loudly saying, "Orion, we’ve successfully rescued them."
Raina’s eyes lit up, she immediately stood and rushed out of the room like a whirlwind.
Pip, who was waiting for some praise from Raina, could only watch as she vanished like a gust of wind through the door.
Pip’s expression froze, full of resentment inside, wondering how urgent it must be to completely overlook this little cutie here.
No.
No way. He needs to make Orion praise him thoroughly, so that Lune wouldn’t have the cheek to flaunt before him.
Thinking thus, Pip quickly perked up and followed after.
...
When Raina knocked on the door and entered, she saw Miss Willows holding Silas Willows and crying by the bedside.
Silas Willows’ small face showed no expression, but his eyes remained fixed and unblinking on the injured and unconscious Willows Family Head.
This kind of demeanor in a child like Silas is indeed rare.
