“You’ll let us go? Very well! Remember your promise!” Patrick wavered and immediately hurried toward

Leon.

The Libertons were always the Scammells‘ enemies and Patrick wanted to seize the chance to

eliminate the Liberton, but it was impossible.

Ever since Rick and members of the second bloodline were removed from the family, the Scammells

lost their former glory.

Patrick brought two elders and close to thirty skilled martial artists to help Leon, leaving only three

elders in the family mansion. Meanwhile, there were at least forty martial artists on the Libertons‘ side,

giving the Libertons an advantage over the Scammells in terms of numbers and strength.

The difference in power was so distinct that Patrick knew for certain that the Scammells and Leon were

the ones who would suffer in the end if they refused to release Willie.

Since Crowley offered to let the Scammells leave unscathed once Leon let go of Willie, it was a deal

that Patrick was more than happy to take.

He took a few long strides toward Leon. “Leon, Willie already has both his legs broken, so you have

gotten your revenge! I think you should just let him go and call this a day,” he said, trying to hint that

Leon would be putting himself and the Scammells at risk if the situation escalate further.

“No. I can’t let him go!” Leon shook his head and rejected Patrick’s advice without hesitation

“Why not?” Patrick was surprised.

He brought the Scammells here mainly to rescue Leon and prevent him from dying at the hands of the

Libertons. Since Leon successfully rescued Cynthia and Crowley agreed to let them go, he could not

understand why Leon would refuse to free Willie.

Naturally, he was unaware that Leon intended on destroying the Libertons once and for all and did not

seek the Scammells‘ help simply to rescue Cynthia.

“Elder Scammells, Willie is a vicious, despicable man. He deserves to die for raising his hands at

Cynthia and Ruth! I’m going to kill him today to make it right by Cynthia and Ruth!” Leon said with

determination.

Mercy toward one’s enemy was nothing but cruelty toward oneself.

Leon knew that letting Willie go would only cause him more trouble in the future; considering the

despicable nature of Willie, his action would only escalate and he might attempt to harm them in even

worse ways.

Leon refused to let a potential danger go.

“What?” Patrick was stunned, and so were Benedict, George, and the others.

They all knew Leon to be a merciful and forgiving man, so none of them expected Leon to murder for

the sake of Ruth and Cynthia.
