Chapter 721 Surrounding the King’s Residence

“What’s there to worry about, then?” Jerry asked.

“We have only three hours to daybreak, and we’ll be in a very disadvantageous situation when it’s dawn!” Kelvin said.

“Everyone’s asleep during this time, and recruitment of the King’s guards hasn’t been concluded yet. If we move quickly now, we can surely capture the King

before daybreak!” Jerry said.

“Everyone in Skyarch Palace is an experienced martial artist. They can definitely deal with the King’s guards easily!” Zane added.

“That’s good, then.” Jerry nodded.

Kelvin asked, “What happens after we capture the King, though, Dad? What do we do?”

“You told me before that we have someone skilled at witchcraft in Skyarch Palace. He can perform spells on other people and control them, right?”

“Yes. He’s the head of Three Poisons Hall. His skill in witchcraft is beyond what we can imagine!” Kelvin answered.

“The first thing we do after capturing the King is to perform a spell on him so that he’ll obey us. After that, we can compel him to issue any commands we want, “Jerry said.

“That’s such a great move, Dad! The King will become our puppet, and our family will get to do anything we want, right?” Zane asked excitedly.

“Yes! When the time is ripe, we can have His Majesty step down. Diatoran will be ours, and you two will be my successors! This is just a fantasy at this point, however. We should take action quickly. The operation tonight will impact the future of our family greatly!” Jerry said.

“I’ll convey our orders to Skyarch Palace so that they can enter the King’s residence and capture him as soon as possible,” Kelvin said.

“Sure. You should go do that quickly. We must succeed in tonight’s operation, and we aren’t allowed to fail. If we succeed, our family will rise to heights

unimaginable. If we fail, our family will collapse!”
