The sharp and piercing voices came from Glaucus' lineage.
They were eager to see Matthew dead.
That way, Glaucus would control the family again since Pontus had entrusted him with the family affairs. Being part of Glaucus' lineage, they could benefit most from his leadership.
Jelson and Jaydon frowned at their words.
"It's our fault in the first place. The others are not to blame."
"Keep quiet! Even Old Mr. Mirren chose to leave the family. How could you not take the situation seriously?"
Instead of calming the group down, the reprimands frustrated them.
"Geez. Look! The newly-appointed head patriarchs are exercising their authority on us!"
"Who would've thought some people actually believed the old geezer's words?"
"Exactly! Master Pontus isn't dead yet! How dare you two dream of taking over his position?"
"You should've fought the enemy instead of scolding us if you're capable!"
Little did they know, Glaucus had gone crazy. He was screaming and running around the hill, constantly frightened.
His lineage's words that dripped with venom made Jelson's and Jaydon's faces turn dark.
"Lock the criminals up. We'll punish them according to the family discipline after this."
Their announcement shocked Glaucus' lineage.
The group glared at the pair and growled, "Who do you think you are? You two can't decide to lock us up!"
"Master Glaucus won't forgive you once he finds out what happened!"
"Are you trying to drive a wedge between the family members and stir up conflict?"
They kept roaring, but the two middle-aged men turned a deaf ear to whatever they screamed.
The pair paid no attention to those who were being dragged away. Instead, they focused on the battle outside.
Now, the heavy rain was enough to make one feel pain when it dropped on them.
As the rain gradually became heavy, Pontus exerted force on his knuckles and shattered the sword energy.
"What if he gets injured?"
"Touch wood!"
The members of the Mirren Family exclaimed in surprise.
Even Jelson and Jaydon didn't dare to blink as they stared intently at the battle.
"What an enjoyable fight!" Pontus roared as he surged from the other end of the sword energy.
He moved as fast as a cheetah. Instantly, he appeared before Matthew and fiercely swung his fist at Matthew.
Matthew gave up on using Bloodreaper. Instead, he used the twelve techniques of mixed martial arts Flynn told him.
The two men kept exchanging blows. Dull sounds were heard whenever they hit each other, and the other party blocked their attempt.
A joyful smile appeared on Pontus' face. He could feel his skin crawl with excitement.
He had been expecting such a thrilling battle for years.
Matthew fought him with the Bane Family's techniques of mixed martial arts.
