Chapter 210: Chapter 210 - Submission
I fainted again, like happiness had completely overwhelmed me.
For a moment, Mabel Sean couldn’t bring herself to leave.
She wanted to stay and keep me company.
But if she remained, my growth would practically stop.
"Miss, we really should be going now." A voice came from outside the door, urging them to leave.
Mabel Sean slowly nodded, stood up, and walked toward the door.
Every few steps, she would turn around to look back.
But this time, I didn’t wake up.
——
Mabel Sean returned to the Capital City, and the Martial Arts Association was still torturing Naomi Estelle mercilessly.
Naomi Estelle didn’t know how many times he had passed out, but each time, Roberts Joshua would forcefully rouse him.
It wasn’t until the evening that Roberts Joshua received a call from Mabel Sean.
"I don’t want to see him again." Mabel Sean said coldly on the phone.
"Understood, Miss Sean." Roberts Joshua said, fully grasping what she meant.
After ending the call, he looked at Naomi Estelle in front of him.
"Naomi Estelle, you are freed now." A murderous spirit burst from Roberts Joshua.
Facing death, Naomi Estelle felt surprisingly unafraid.
This kind of torment, worse than death, made him wish he could die sooner.
Naomi Estelle was killed, not even his corpse was left behind.
Within one day, Chuzzle seemed to have undergone a drastic change.
All the prisoners in the Martial Arts Association heard the news.
"Great! I knew that Mr. Raymond wouldn’t die!"
"Haha, have you heard? Naomi Estelle was supposedly dismissed."
"That son of a bitch, Naomi Estelle, has been abusing his power and oppressing others all these years, he should have been dismissed long ago!"
Jubilant cheers echoed throughout the cells.
On the other side, Conrad Schroeder’s face was extremely gloomy.
He was deeply terrified.
He was genuinely afraid of the aristocratic family of the Capital City.
"Master, I truly didn’t know that the Sean family would take action..." Uncle Leonardo knelt on the ground, pleading bitterly.
A ruthless light flashed in Conrad Schroeder’s eyes.
He stood up angrily and scolded, "It’s because of you, Tristin Schroeder died! The Schroeder family is now in a state of irreversible crisis!"
Uncle Leonardo shuddered, he said in agony, "It’s my fault, it’s my fault, master, please spare me for the sake of all the years I have served you..."
Nearly everyone in the Schroeder family begged for mercy on Uncle Leonardo’s behalf.
Conrad Schroeder was silent for a moment, glanced at Uncle Leonardo, and waved his hand, "Fine. I’ve already lost one son, I don’t want to lose anyone anymore."
"Thank you, master! Thank you, master!" Uncle Leonardo was immensely relieved, he bowed profusely.
Time swiftly slipped into the evening.
But Conrad Schroeder couldn’t sleep.
The dilemma the Schroeder Family was facing gave Conrad Schroeder a severe headache.
"Master, what should we do now?" Uncle Leonardo said, a tremble in his voice.
Conrad Schroeder sighed, muttered, "Given Mason Raymond’s talent, he will eventually become a tycoon. Since we couldn’t kill him, we must improve our relationship with him as soon as possible."
Rather than worrying about the Sean family, Conrad Schroeder feared the future Mason Raymond even more!
"Improve our relationship?" Uncle Leonardo was stunned.
"But...will Mason Raymond agree?" Uncle Leonardo was somewhat uneasy.
From what he knew about Mason Raymond, this guy would not let things go easily.
Conrad Schroeder helplessly waved his hand and said, "We can only amputate to save our life. No matter what he demands, we must agree."
The Schroeder family’s submission undoubtedly indicated a change in the structure of Chuzzle.
Probably from this point on, the Schroeder family would no longer be the dominant force in Chuzzle.
——
The next day.
I woke up in a daze from my sickbed.
Sitting in front of me were the top-tier caregivers from Shiglance City.
Seeing that I had awakened, they immediately stood up and asked, "Mr. Raymond, how do you feel now?"
I didn’t answer. My eyes scanned the room anxiously, "Where is Mabel? Where is she?"
The caregivers exchanged glances and respectfully replied, "Miss Sean has left; she made a remark for you."
"A remark?" My eyes lighted up, signaling them to continue.
"Miss Sean said she’d be waiting for you in Capital City," the caregiver replied truthfully.
Upon hearing this, I felt a surge of energy coursing through my body.
Belief may be the most potent force.
It can support anyone through their darkest times.
Just then, there was a sudden disturbance outside the door.
Turning my head, I saw Conrad Schroeder and Uncle Leonardo standing at the doorway, bearing gifts.
I squinted my eyes, "What are you here for?" I asked coldly.
Conrad Schroeder quickly walked to my side, waving a hand to send the caregivers away.
As soon as the caregivers left, Conrad Schroeder kneeled down abruptly.
"Mr. Raymond, I apologize for not recognizing your true stature. Please forgive my offense," Conrad Schroeder said respectfully.
This left me somewhat taken aback.
I eyed Conrad Schroeder, asking in a half-mocking manner, "Conrad Schroeder, what scheme are you up to this time?"
Conrad Schroeder genuinely terrified, hurriedly said, "I dare not, Mr. Raymond. I sincerely want to apologize to you."
"Apologize?" I mocked.
I sat up from my sickbed, saying coldly, "Now you know to seek peace? What happened to your arrogant demeanor from before?"
Conrad Schroeder inwardly lamented. He had no idea that I had a connection with the Sean family!
If he had known, Conrad Schroeder would have never offended me!
"Mr. Raymond, I underestimated your greatness. Please forgive me...", Conrad Schroeder sighed.
Looking at Conrad Schroeder before me, I squinted my eyes.
After some thought, I smirked, "I decline."
Conrad Schroeder’s face subtly changed and, gritting his teeth, he said, "Mr. Raymond, from today onwards, the Schroeder Family is willing to submit to you!"
I was taken aback.
This had entirely exceeded my expectations!
Did Conrad Schroeder willingly submit to me?
"Are you afraid of the Sean family, or are you afraid of me?" I inquired with a frown.
Conrad Schroeder was stumped and didn’t know how to reply.
"Answer truthfully," I ordered.
Conrad Schroeder raised his head, and after some thought, he said, "Both. But primarily, I see potential in you."
Conrad Schroeder’s thinking was straightforward. If I couldn’t be killed, it’s better to establish a relationship with me sooner rather than later.
Considering my potential, I would undoubtedly have a bright future. By then, the Schroeder Family may not be limited to a small Chuzzle!
After some thought, I nodded and said, "Alright, Conrad Schroeder, I hope you won’t harbor thoughts of rebellion. Or else..."
"I dare not!" Conrad Schroeder promptly bowed in respect!
I indeed had plans to exploit a faction.
With my current strength, my future practices would inevitably become more challenging.
Plus, the idea of breaking into Capital City alone was indeed impractical.
It’s spoken about as submission, but essentially, it’s mutual utilization.
I helped Conrad Schroeder up, and said gravely, "Let’s go. Since you’ve submitted to me, I will save your son."
Mentioning Tristin Schroeder, a trace of sorrow flashed across Conrad Schroeder’s eyes.
"No... no need." Conrad Schroeder waved his hand.
I frowned, puzzled, "You don’t trust me?"
"Mr. Raymond, the young master... he’s... already dead!" Uncle Leonardo sighed.
