The Grey family members strolled into the Watson's mansion with arrogance, their heads held high as they viewed everything in this mansion as garbage. They even thought that its an extreme privilege for them to come here if it wasn't to take over.
A man wearing grey robes stopped as he led this group, his voice ringing loud as the entire mansion was alerted.
"Is the Watson family so inconsiderate that they don't even welcome their guest?"
When these words spread out, many family members and guards of the Watson household came out from different directions as they held faces of disgust and anger. They knew the Grey family was arrogant, but they had to strength to be.
"Haha. What a surprise for the Grey family to stop by; it seems that news does spread in the wind. Why don't you come inside and have a chat?"
Everyone heard Words no less domineering than the previous one was as they resounded in the atmosphere; everyone knew it was the patriarch.
The man had a face of annoyance when he heard these words. Shouldn't the Watson family be weak and humble? Shouldn't they be in a panic state because of their young miss' kidnapping? Why are they all so calm?.
As they strode to the guest hall, these questions popped into his mind. Entering the guest hall that seemed ten times bigger than it looked on the outside, some group members gaped.
"Please sit."
Julius spoke as he sat at the top of the hall facing the door. The grey family members took the invitation as they each sat down; there were ten of them, five of which were guards, and the other five the blood members of the grey family.
"May I please know why brother Austin visited this late? and what is so important that can't wait for the next day?"
Julius asked as he held a smile on his face.
Seeing his face, Austin, the current patriarch of the Grey family, became even more confused as he replied.
"There have been rumors that my future daughter-in-law went missing, so I came to ensure our agreement was still in check."
"Sorry, but our previous agreement no longer stands as Athena is already married."
"..."
The entire hall fell into silence. The Grey family's patriarch put on a dark and cold face as he perceived those words as a proclamation of war; he didn't react much as he never placed the Watson family's miss in his eyes. He only needed her to bring the Watson family under control, after which she would be the family sex toy.
But the other members overreacted as one got up, a sword dagger forming out of the wind element as he released a murderous aura.
POP!
The next instant, a body exploded as the sword dissipated into the air; his party held faces of shock, disbelief, and despair.
Austin got up as he asked in a cold tone, not releasing any ferocious aura as he saw that his family member died because of that.
"Julius, what is the meaning of this?"
Julius sat on his chair with a dull expression as he spoke lazily.
"Ohh, Austin, I forgot to warn you, but any enemy demonstrating killing intent towards my family will automatically die regardless of rank."
"I said my granddaughter is married, so our previous agreement became invalid. But your son displayed his killing intent leading to his death. Am I to be blamed for his incompetence?"
Austin, hearing this, became even more afraid as he raised his hands, signaling for the others to stop as he decided on a strategic retreat.
"Julius, this insult, the Watson family shall surely pay for it in full."
Austin turned around to leave, but the next scene shocked him as he saw Jacob standing at the hall's exit with a sword floating by his side.
"You think you can come to my territory and leave as you please? I never liked your family as you used your strength to threaten other families, but today your Grey family shall be wiped off this earth."
POP.POP.POP
Austin did not even comprehend the series of events as he heard deadly words come out of Jacob's mouth. He was about to react as pop sounds rang behind him, turning to see all his remaining members exploding because of their killing intent.
He was about to explode out of anger when he felt something go through his body from his head down; moments later, he fell in different directions as each side of his body went their parts.
Jacob had used his devouring elephant ice sword as it went through the Grey family's patriarch-like air.
"Father, I would be taking care of the Grey family."
Julius nodded as he watched Jacob disappear in the air.
"Sign"
"I will be organizing the power structure of the world after this"
"I wonder how Athena could associate with a being like that. Forget it; it will only bring trouble to think of matters that don't concern me."
"Let's see how reality will change, as he said"
Everything was going smoothly without no one knowing today would be the end of the Grey family.
Grey family.
The family members were living their daily lives. In a room full of deadly auras, over 20 people sat in a round setting as a voice came out.
"Austin will be taking over the Watson family; our goal realized."
Boom!
But then, outside the family estate, a loud boom was heeded as it drew the attention of everyone, multiple energies appearing from all directions as a voice rang out.
"Who dares to cause trouble in the Grey family's territory?"
"Today is the Grey family's doom."
Jacob spoke as he slashed his sword in the air. Space trembled the next instant; the entire Grey household vanished from existence. The S and SS+ awakened, not even getting the chance to react. All that was left was a black void that quickly mended space back together; the area returned to its original state as if nothing existed in hundreds of miles.
The once-powerful Grey family is now reduced to nothing but air.
Jacob watched the scene as he held a shocking expression, realizing that this sword his daughter gave him was more than just any sacred weapon; he also felt his used-up energy refilled as he returned to his full power in a few seconds.
"What a terrifying treasure, capable of tearing space and time, and can replenish energy. Doesn't this mean I can fight as much I want as I never run out of mana? Because I will return to my full strength seconds after."
His energy does not take weeks, days, or even hours but seconds to recover. Most powerhouses must retreat to recover their used energy for months or even decades, but it only takes seconds.
Jacob smiled as he vanished from space.
Leaving the once-powerful Grey family as nothing be an empty void.
