Chapter 939 Twilight Crow

“Yes.” Gladys Dawson nodded as disappointment flashed in her eyes. “If only Draco were half as filial as you are!” Draco Summers abhorred Gladys’s obsession with Buddhism. The main reason for this was her superstitious belief in Buddhism that drove Tyr Summers out of the Summers family back then. The relationship between mother and son had gone cold from the moment Tyr was cast out of the Summers family. There had been no room for reconciliation since then. So, Gladys had been frustrated by Draco over the years. The latter, in turn, had always loathed Gladys’ callousness. The Summers family of today would seem powerful to outsiders. They were indeed the top family of the north. However, the fact of the matter was that the Summers family had already been torn apart and in a disastrous state. Afterward, Gladys Dawson and Lyra Jade took advantage of the cover of night and strolled around the garden for a while before they each went back to their residence. When Lyra had returned, Mother Roxanne was waiting for her at the door as per usual. Seeing that Lyra had arrived home, Mother Roxanne rushed to her side with a serious demeanor. “Miss, the messenger from the Willow family has arrived.” Lyra’s complexion changed in an instant at Mother Roxanne’s words. “Have you gone mad? Why did you allow the Willow family to come to us at such a critical time? We’re finished if this is discovered. “Draken Willow as well. What the hell does he want? Haven’t I already told him before that it’s better not to contact us right now?” Mother Roxanne hurriedly soothed. “You do not need to worry about it, Miss. Master Willow sent Twilight Crow. No one can track down Twilight Crow at night. No one will find out that he snuck into the Willow house. “Twilight Crow also brings an important message that must be personally conveyed to you, Miss. “Come with me and take a look.” Lyra, who Mother Roxanne closely accompanied, proceeded toward the hall as quickly as she could. At that moment, a woman shrouded in black with half her face tattooed with a crow totem sat in Lyra’s residence’s hall sipping tea. She was none other than Twilight Crow, a queen of the night. She was also an expert by Draken Willow’s side. And who was Draken Willow? He was second only to the north’s Summers family and the second master of the Willow’s, another powerful family. At the same time, he was also a kingpin figure in the north. His methods and abilities were far beyond Draco Summers. As for why Lyra was associated with Draken was a huge conspiracy hidden in their connection. It was a horrifying secret, and if it were ever to be exposed, it would cause an earth-shattering shift. Twilight Crow immediately stood up to pay obeisance to Lyra as the latter entered. Although Twilight Crow was someone on Draken’s side, she was very respectful of Lyra. “Twilight Crow greets the madam!” “No need for pleasantries,” Lyra said. “What made you make this particular trip here, Twilight Crow? The Summers family has not been peaceful for the past few days. You should not be here at such an occasion.” Twilight Crow fished out a token and handed it to Lyra. “This is what the Second Master wanted me to give to you.” “What is this?” Lyra was puzzled. “This is the Second Master’s exclusive token. Two people in the Summers family are men placed by the Second Master. Show them the token at a specific time, and they will fully cooperate with you, Madam.” Lyra put the token away before inquiring in surprise, “Could it be that Excalibur Willow is about to leave his seclusion?” “That’s right.” Twilight Crow nodded. “Five years ago, Excalibur Willow and Shaun Yarn battled. After losing badly, Excalibur went into seclusion for five years. He has greatly improved and will be coming out. “Second Master has arranged everything. Excalibur Willow will come to the Summers family in a few days to make a war declaration to fight Shaun Yarn again. As for the location, it has to be Dragon King Mountain.” At this point, Lyra’s face also showed great excitement. “Excalibur Willow of the Willow family and Shaun Yarn of the Summers family are thorns in our sides. The plan had failed five years ago, and we couldn’t deal with them permanently. But now we’ve been given another chance.” Lyra asked grimly, “Is Draken ready?” “Everything is going smoothly,” Twilight Crow answered. “Once the plan succeeds, Master’s intention for the two sides to strike at the same time, and then we’ll be able to take the Willow and Summers families down in one fell swoop.” “Good!” Lyra nodded excitedly. “Then, you guys keep an eye on Excalibur Willow. As for Shaun Yarn, I’ll deal with him.” “Yes, Ma’am.” After explaining this, Twilight Crow did not linger for a moment longer. She marched straight out of the hall and vanished in the blink of an eye. Lyra and Mother Roxanne stared at each other as they laughed. Their cackles were extremely heinous. Meanwhile, in Draco Summers’ courtyard. A full moon hung high in the sky. Draco was nestled in the courtyard with a bottle of white wine in his mouth. He had emptied three bottles yet still could not vent the bitterness in his heart. He then opened another bottle. Raiden Black approached, grabbed the bottle in his hand, and advised, “Master, you can't drink anymore. If you keep drinking, you would definitely get into trouble.” “Let go, Raiden Black.” However, Raiden ignored Draco’s command and held the bottle firmly in his hand. Draco’s countenance turned unsightly as he said coldly, “What, Raiden? So, even you can disobey my orders now? You must think that I, Draco Summers, am easily bullied, am I right?” Raiden was stunned and withdrew his hand. “Master, that was not what I meant. I was just…” “Forget it.” Draco waved his hand and set the wine bottle in his hand aside. “Raiden, do you think I’m useless? “I, Draco Summers, am still the head of the Summers family. Outsiders see my position as being unparalleled. Yet, the fact of the matter was that I could not protect my son. “It’s not just that. Look at the Summers family. Who pays me any respect? The old woman connived Lyra and Kirin all these years. They’re nearly done devouring the Summers family’s power. “Wouldn’t you say I’m a wimp?” Raiden, who stood on the side, did not know how to answer. Speaking of which, Draco had been living like a good-for-nothing all these years. He was obviously the head of the Summers family, yet could not do anything. Despite having many suspicions, he simply could not find out what was going on. Draco Summers was one thing. Even Raiden sometimes felt anger in his heart yet had no way of venting it. “Master, since Young Master Tyr has returned, do you want to go meet him and have a proper discussion? “What happened back then was not your fault, and you had put in your best effort. It was just that the old madam had made up her mind. No one could do anything about it.”
