Without a doubt, the news of Andrews failure had gotten back home.
Since Andrew who wanted to be baron was dead, it was easy to assume that The problems of the Frostbite Estate was over, but such was not so.
Apparently, Andrew was not alone.
As the soldiers appeared, the citizens of the Estate immediately rushed into their homes. Apparently, they also knew that something was about to happen.
In only about two minutes, the once bustling streets were now empty of life.
No one wanted to be caught in the cross fire.
Another thing of note was the fact that these soldiers did not wear the uniform of the frostbite Estate.
rather, they wore a different Uniform. This was the Uniform of the Crood family.
It wa one of two things. It was either these were the soldiers of the Crood family or they were the soldiers of the frostbite family that had betrayed their Baron and joined the crood family.
Either ways, it spoke volumes of the kind of influence that the Crood family had. After all, the Frostbite family were not also a weak family.
Lady frostbite rushed into the manor.
as she did, Eros activated his movement technique again.
he was so fast that no one saw him as he slipped through the gates.
He and Dan had entered into Enemy territory.
It was night time and therefore very easy for them to pick a nice spot to hide. Especially with the vast range of techniques that was available to Eros. this was quite a task for him.
Within the gates, there were also soldiers with their weapons drawn out, waiting in readiness.
Lady Frostbite saw this and it made her frown.
In front of the soldiers was A slim man. This man was not in the same uniform as the soldiers. In fact, he was in robes, but from his confident smile and well displayed mannerism of bowing to Lady frostbite the moment she arrived, it was easy to conclude that he was the one in charge.
"Lady Frostbite, I was starting to think you might not show up anymore. it so good for you to grace us with your presence." The man smiled like he was a father that was really welcoming his daughter home.
Lady Frostbite did not alight from the Frozen horse she rod.
She frowned the moment she saw the man, "who are you and what are you doing in my home? Where are my brother's and sister? What do you people want from my home!?"
The man chuckled a bit, "that's a lot of questions my lady. All of which will be answered in due times. I am Carpet. I'm a captain under the command of the Crood family!" he bowed once more.
"Your siblings are very fine. Of course that is not something we can say for our young master. Word reached us that you have already taken care of him at the border. this was indeed sad news to us. However, baron Crood has sent word that for you, he is willing to make an exception. After all, he has many sons. As long as you renounce your hold as Baron to this land and hand over the post to any of his sons, he is more than willing to let bygones be bygones."
Lady Frostbite frowned at this.
She was expecting to use Andrew as a bargaining chip for her siblings. However, news of Andrews failure had reached before her.
"Captain Cement or the fuck you call yourself, release my family and leave my home this instant or I'll..." As she spoke, her spiritual energy went up in the air and the eyes of the horses she came with turned white like they did before.
She had activated her bloodline ability.
Waves of spiritual energy blew from her body.
Lady Frostbite was just in the soul Disciple realm, but her bloodline ability made her a threat no one would want to mess with.
Her ability to Control the Frozen horses was a great advantage she enjoyed in battle.
There were only a few horses with her here, but the other horses in the barn within the manor could be heard neighing to the activation of her bloodline ability.
She was just one person but she could easily borrow the strength of many beasts to fight her battles.
This was an example of how bloodline techniques made for cultivation superiority.
However, Captain Cement in front did not seem moved by this. "Lady Frostbite, are you sure that this is something you want to do?"
The moment he said this, there were muffled sounds as soldiers behind brought forth three people that were tied up together.
The moment Lady frostbite saw them, her spiritual energy suddenly calmed down. How could it not? These were are her mother, younger brother and her immediate younger sister.
Knives were placed against their necks.
captain Cement giggled once more, "I am going to say it again. give the title of Baron over to the Crood family or watch as your family dies before your eyes."
Ladyfrost bite frowned. Things were playing out just like they had earlier on. Andrew too had also threatened her with her family and she had immediately become weak to the thought of harm coming to them.
She had instantly given up. However, back then, Eros was there to save her. Now that she thought about it, Eros had helped her and she had instead rewarded him with a slap to the face.
At the time she had been overwhelmed with emotion, but it still was the wrong thing.
Maybe if she had pleaded harder and not been too stubborn, she might have actually might have been able to convince him to come help her.
However, her stubbornness had taken a strong part of her.
These were the thoughts that flowed through her mind.
Just then, Captain Cement waved his hand and one of her loved one's was brought forward.
It was her younger sister.
This was a young beautiful girl that was around the age of fifteen.
She had tears in her eyes, and her clothes were torn at different points.
However, she looked to be in a better condition compared to her brother and her mother.
At least, she was not bleeding from any injury and did not have a swollen face.
Eros watched attentively.
Knowing Lady frostbite as well as he knew her, she was definitely going to give in to the threats again.
She was a very stubborn woman and could be brutish if the case demanded it, but she had a very strong weakspot for family.
She was the kind to give up her entire existence just for her family.
This was not a bad thing, but it did have it weak moments.
Eros was willing to enter into the fray and make his move. However, he had a weird forbidden feeling he did not understand. It was like something was wrong.
However, for the time being, he just couldn't put a finger on what was wrong.
It was as if it was staring him in the face, but yet, it was not there.
If he was to describe it, it was like a word about to be said, just hovering on his tongue but yet, it eluded him.
"Granddad! are you okay!?" Dan saw the look on Eros's face and asked.
Eros shook his head and pushed the thought temorarily to the back of his mind, "yeah! I'm good." his expression suddenly became a serious one.
"I will create a distraction an you will follow this path and free the prisoners." Eros directed Dan on what to do.
Dan nodded in understanding.
"When I give the other, I want you to sprint as fast as you can. All their attention would be on the distraction I will create. Make sure you take full advantage of it!"
Dan nodded as he brought out his knife.
He might not have cultivation, but he was tougher than he looked.
Eros suddenly touched the ground as he activated his soul energy.
*Earth Cyclone!*
Immediately, his soul energy rushed into the ground and slowly, a cyclone formed in the center of the court yard.
This sudden Cyclone took everyone by surprise.
Captain Cement frowned. He could tell that this was a technique but from where or who it came from was a different matter entirely.
The Cyclone became bigger and bigger and it attacked the first set of soldiers.
Sucking them into it's turbulent wind.
Captain Cement frowned, "destroy that thing!" he ordered.
many of the soldiers that had cultivation immediately activated their energies.
Meanwhile, no one noticed Dan that had taken a long route, running as fast as he could to where the hostages were behind.
He brought out the Dagger Eros had gifted him. The moment he got close enough, he threw the Dagger for the head of the first soldier holding down Lady Frostbite's mother.
