After explaining to Fade, Romeo's gaze swept back to Eamon. He stared at him and questioned, "Eamon, do you really want the entire elder association to go against your Pei family just because of the Dragon Mausoleum's treasures?"
"This is neither beneficial to you nor your family. If you leave now, I can pretend that all of this has never happened."
When he heard Romeo's words, Eamon narrowed his eyes and fell silent for a while. Then, he grinned and suddenly burst out laughing. "Are you threatening me? Do you really think that you can bring the Pei family down on your own? What a joke!"
Upon hearing this, Romeo's expression fell. He shouted, "Eamon, are you really going to be so stubborn? You might be stronger than me, and your Pei family might also be stronger than my Hsing family. However, as long as you dare to attack us, the elder association is going to look for you. By then..."
"There's no need for that," Eamon interrupted him as he grinned. "I'll kill you right here, right now. Then, nothing will happen at the elder association!"
"You..." Romeo paused. He did not expect him to be so ruthless. His expression immediately darkened as he gritted his teeth and said, "My family knows that I have come to explore the Dragon Mausoleum. It is impossible for you to kill me and keep this a secret. The elder association would definitely come knocking on your Pei family's door!"
"Really?" Eamon sneered, then took another step forward as he replied, "Even if we can't hide it, it's not a big deal."
"What do you mean by that..." Romeo was both surprised and confused, and his gaze was cold.
At this time, several cold voices sounded again.
"He's just a disciple of a branch family. Eamon, why are you talking so much to him? Just kill him!"
"Eamon, don't waste time. Let's move now!"
"They're just a bunch of ants. Just slap them to death. There's no need to go through so much trouble!"
As he spoke, everyone's attention was drawn towards the source of the voice.
They then saw several men who were in their thirties walking over to Eamon.
The looks of these men were arrogant, and their auras were terrifying, with an oppressive momentum. Moreover, behind them, there was a group of martial artists with a terrifying aura.
"W-What's going on?"
"More people are coming? They seem to be no weaker than Eamon. Who are they exactly?"
"What are they trying to do?"
Amongst the voices of surprise and doubt, Romeo's gaze shifted towards them, and his face instantly fell. He exclaimed, "Jairus, Adam, Lachan... W-Why are you here?"
When he heard how confused Romeo was, Fade could not help but look over at him with a puzzled look on his face.
Romeo's expression was grim. With his teeth clenched, he said, "They are all members of the hidden family. Their families' strengths are about the same as the Pei family. I originally thought that the Pei family had acted on their own, but I didn't expect that they would be acting together. If that's the case, things would be troublesome."
Just now, Eamon, a third-rate hidden family, had brought enough pressure to everyone. But now, there was a second-rate hidden family, and he was also a Martial Arts Master. The tension rose again, and everyone felt helpless.
Even Romeo's expression was grim.
He was able to threaten Eamon with the elders' association, but he couldn't do that with Raleigh.
Even if this matter was brought up to the elder association, the Chiang, Pei, Huang, Hu and many more families were involved in this. At most, the elder association would just issue them with a light punishment.
Therefore, Romeo's heart was filled with worry. He came to Fade's side and whispered, "Instructor Chen, the situation is critical. If a fight really does break out, please find an escape route and leave
first."
"I'll hold them off. Although I'm definitely not a match for them, I'm still a member of the Hsing family after all. They probably won't kill me," he suggested in a serious tone.
When he heard this, Fade could not help but feel moved. He patted Romeo on the shoulder and answered, "Don't worry, I'm here. Nothing will happen. From now on, you are my brother. You don't have to call me Instructor Chen, just call me Brother Fade."
"Well..." Romeo was taken aback and had a smile on his face, but then his expression sank again and he continued to say worriedly, "Brother Fade, but..."
Without waiting for him to finish, Raleigh and Eamon chatted for a while and learned about the entire situation. Looking over, they stared at Romeo and sneered proudly. "For the sake of the Hsing family, we can allow you to leave. Get lost!"
