Karl's bland words echoed throughout the room, instantly making the place deadly silent.
Caroline's body even trembled.
For she felt an icy murderous aura, which also burst forth instantly, sending chills throughout her body.
Lydia, Aurora even looked at Karl with incredulous eyes.
In fact, Lydia noticed something strange very early on.
The people sent by various families were the younger generation like Ariella, Cindy and Hayden.
And the Henderson family was led by Karl, the head of the Henderson family.
This inevitably raised suspicions.
Was Karl, the head of the Henderson family, going to compete with juniors like Ariella and Olly?
But now they knew that Karl himself had come to Hopkins, not at all for the Northernland Conference.
The Northernland Conference was just a springboard to the main objective, which was to kill Leo.
So, he took half of the Dark-dragon Guards with him.
Leo was also accompanied by his very powerful female bodyguard, Nadine.
With this half of the Dark-dragon Guards, Nadine's strength could be largely ignored.
All that remained was for Karl to take a shot at Leo.
"Don't you dare hurt him!"
Lydia was furious to learn the truth, her neck was covered with veins, but her eyes were both angry and frightened.
Aurora's eyes also sank: "He is the one I protect, have you asked me if you want to move him?"
"No need to ask you!"
Karl looked straight at Aurora without the slightest fear in her eyes, "When I want to do something, it never depends only on."
At those words, the faces of everyone present changed.
William and Caroline's eyes became even more awe-inspiring.
This was Karl.
The rules were a showstopper in front of him.
It was only about wanting to do it, not about being able to do it.
How dominant was that?
Lydia immediately turned back to Leo and said, "Don't be afraid, Leo, with me here, he wouldn't dare to hurt you."
Having said that, she didn't have the slightest bit of confidence.
Because she was in front of Karl, she was nothing but relying on Karl to be guilty of her.
It was because of the guilt that there was unconditional satisfaction.
But what about the day when Karl didn't feel that guilt anymore?
Leo, however, put down his chopsticks, his eyes faintly looking at Karl, narrowing dangerously.
"Looks like you know something, huh?"
Leo's tone was indifferent as he slowly stood up.
The moment Leo stood up, everyone felt a dramatic increase in pressure.
It was as if they were standing in the middle of a battlefield.
The aura was so overwhelming that they could hardly breathe!
Leo keenly noticed a remark made by Karl.
What kind of forces were involved with it?
Was it 'Phantom'?
Everything pointed to Karl.
Was Karl a member of the 'Phantom'?
Killing intent coalesced as Leo came to the conclusion.
"What is your relationship with the 'Phantom'?"
Leo spoke coldly and walked towards Karl step by step.
Maisy stepped back in horror.
Apart from the horror, there was excitement in her eyes.
Because Leo and Karl, at last, were going head to head against each other!
This was a death wish!
Karl smiled lightly, "Want to know? Then get into the ring at the Northernland Assembly, fight me, and I will tell you when you win."
Leo's eyes narrowed even deeper.
"Are you challenging me?"
Karl rubbed his chin: "It's you challenging me because I'll be standing in the last round."
Leo smiled gently, except that smile, which did not contain a bit of warmth.
"Interesting. ...... OK, I'll take it, but I won't spare mercy."
"To live and to die, each according to his own fate."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's face became horrified.
"No!"
Lydia and Marie both exclaimed at the same time.
After shouting it out, they themselves froze for a moment.
The two sisters looked at each other, both with awe-inspiring gazes.
Lydia stood beside Leo, clinging to Leo's arm.
And Marie stood beside Karl, holding his arm tightly.
It was all subconsciously shouted out by them for a moment just now.
No one wanted their loved ones to get hurt and bleed, or even lose their lives.
Inadvertently, however, they also came to opposite sides.
When they realised this, both Lydia and Marie's faces turned pale.
"How did it come to this ......"
They muttered.
If Leo and Karl really met at the Northernland Conference, no matter who lived and who died, in what form should the two sisters meet again in the future?
Enemies?
Or friends?
"Leo, you promised me that you wouldn't participate in the Northernland Assembly, and you've been banned from the Martial Arts Association, so how are you going to participate?"
Lydia asked anxiously.
Leo smiled gently, "I'm not going to participate, but there are things that I'm going to do, and I'm not going to lose!"
While Leo was confident, Lydia kept shaking her head.
"It's not a matter of losing or not losing ......"
Lydia wanted to say something else, but found that Leo's gaze was not on her at all.
His pupils reflected Karl's shadow, as if, only he and Karl were left in the whole world.
Leo said lightly.
Now instructor were to greet them?
Lydia also stayed behind to feed Emilia.
"Then you stay."
Maisy smiled coldly, "Those people are heroes that many big shots can't even meet, you have no idea what you are missing out on."
Leo stopped responding and ate his food alone.
The group of them then walked out.
Everyone's face was tinged with excitement.
Even Karl had to get on good terms with the Wyverns.
After all, the Henderson was a newly promoted royal family, and its heritage was certainly not comparable to those of the established royal families.
The reason why the Newman family was the favourite to win the Northernland Conference this time was that the Newman family was on good terms with Cassius, the Guard of the Westernland.
The benefits of getting on good terms with the big shots of the war zone were unimaginable.
Flags were erected on both sides of the road and even on every tree.
All the cars were out in formation.
Behind them were densely packed squares, already standing in position.
At the head of the group stood none other than Nicolas.
With a serious expression, he was waiting.
Not far away, several helicopters slowly fly towards the area.
"That's spectacular."
Maisy watched for a moment, looking excited.
Although Karl remained calm, he could not hold back the joy in his heart.
So were William, Caroline and Marie.
They didn’t see a scene like this once in a lifetime!
Karl led them to General Nicolas: "Mr. Nicolas, I am Karl, come along to welcome the heroes home."
Nicolas had long heard of Karl's name, and was polite in his manner.
"Thanks."
They also stood in the welcoming parade.
Not far away, a few more cars came.
"It's the car of the Lord of Hopkins, the Lord of Hopkins is here!"
Caroline pointed at the cars and exclaimed.
A middle-aged man hurriedly got out of the car, followed by many other large people in suits.
"Even people from the three great giants are here."
Caroline exclaimed again.
Ernie Palmer, Lennon Grant and Alan Watts all came too.
But they didn't see William and the others.
Everyone looked up at the helicopter parade above.
A huge wind blew and everyone's hair was lifted.
Helicopter was landing!
The Wyverns alternates were getting off the plane!
