Chapter 911

"They're even going after the young lord. Is there anything they wouldn't dare to do? "Once the five elders strike and defeat the young lord, they'll be lawless. Even the Lord of Summerland will have no choice but to tolerate them," Nicole said. "Cecilia, take your parents and leave with Zoey's family. My jet has enough room," Margot said. Staring at a photo of Cyrus on her phone, Cecilia couldn't help but sob. She walked over to the window, wiping her tears as she peered down at the tens of thousands of patients kneeling below, praying for him. "Are the gods blind?" she spat. "Why does Cyrus have to suffer like this? The five families have done nothing but evil. The Sykes family is creating poison and venom puppets, as well as oppressing the people. Yet, they get to enjoy all the wealth and luxury." But Cecilia knew it was meaningless to say such things. Zoey wasn't the only one regretting not having sex with Cyrus. Cecilia felt equally regretful for not taking the initiative to get intimate with him. Due to her psychological issue, Zoey couldn't get intimate with Cyrus, but Cecilia could've given him a child—Zoey had even tacitly allowed it. The more Cecilia thought about it, the more she regretted it. Crouching by the window, she burst into tears. Her breakdown triggered the others, and they began to spiral into turmoil again. A world without Cyrus seemed bleak and empty. Just then, Mira came out of the room and curled up in her mother's arms. "Mommy, will I never see Daddy again?" Zoey hugged her tightly and said, "You still have me." "But I want Daddy. I miss him so much," Mira sobbed. Ever since her biological mother caused a scene, she learned the truth about her background. Zoey indeed treated her better than her biological mother ever did, and she loved Zoey deeply. But still, losing her father left a void in her heart. Thinking about Mira, Zoey found the strength to pull herself together. "Cecilia, stop crying!" she shouted. "Go talk to your father now and let him know we're leaving tonight." This time was different from the last. Against the five major families, Innerzen Medical Center stood no chance of mounting a successful resistance. Jace suddenly entered. Lately, the Secret Realm had been receiving a lot of information regarding Innerzen Medical Center. Without even pausing for a sip of water, she said, "Margot, you should leave with your family too. Seraphine has already arrived in Jorsproburgh, and she's now lurking in the shadows. She'll probably come looking for you guys soon." "Is Seraphine still alive?" Margot asked. She had seen the livestream and knew what kind of monster Seraphine was. Considering her relationship with Bella, she was bound to be tortured if Seraphine got to her. "Not only is she alive, but so are Derek, Palmer, and Joseph." They were all Cyrus' enemies. After fighting each other on Cobra Island and surviving the ordeal, they would definitely seek revenge on those close to Cyrus. "Apart from the Olsens, the flight information we acquired shows that the Shaws, the Andersons, the Draigs, and the Sykes will arrive soon. The five elders might also come to Jorsproburgh as well. Whatever you do, don't contact Jordan. He's Owen's grandson and has likely betrayed us." Once she was done, Zoey asked, "Jace, is there really no news about Cyrus?" "No. The last message I received was from the supreme leader, saying that Cobra Island had sunk. He ordered me to collect money from the five families." Margot was reluctant to leave. The businesses of the four families she was in charge of had a total net worth of 300 to 400 billion dollars, and just liquidating 1% was enough to make them live comfortably for the rest of their lives. But if they left now, the five families would undoubtedly seize her businesses—something they had long been coveting in the Jorsproburgh market. "Jace, can you provide us protection while I sell my shares? Otherwise, we might struggle to survive if so many of us flee abroad." Jace shook her head. "I don't have the power to counter the five families unless you can get in touch with the young lord."
