Expert Down The Mountain Chapter 67

There were three prestigious families in Clouspring. There were the Whitmans, the Allens, and the Waltons. The three families had absolute power over Clouspring, and they were the ones that supported many companies from the shadows. Therefore, most of the famous people in Clousprin were related to them. Hendrick from the Whitmans was a great man. He was famous in Clouspring, and his name was also widely known by the people in Skyspring. His words were the absolute orders back in his prime.

Even though he had retired and passed everything to his son, Michael, he was still someone to be reckoned with, and no one dared to go against him despite his old age.

Even until now, although Michael was already in his mid-40s and had full control over the resources and connections of the Whitmans, some people still claimed that the Whitmans’ pillar was Hendrick instead of Michael.

Whether this was actually the case or not, no one knew.

However, the assassination attempts that Hendrick faced never stopped. Not only that but those assassins that came after him were one stronger than the last one.

The last assassination attempt happened around two and a half months ago.

It was Raymond who had stepped forward and foiled the assassination attempt. He had wanted to capture the assassin alive, but he failed. When he decided to kill him, the assassin ran away.

Raymond was certain they would send someone stronger than him this time.

Initially, he wanted to ask for help from Kayson, but due to Hendrick’s identity, he might not agree to it if Raymond suddenly dragged a stranger into the team. As such, he could only hope that he could hold off the assassins this time.

The sky was getting darker. A dark cloud drifted by and slowly blocked the bright moon. As soon as the moonlight was gone, a few figures flashed rapidly in the darkness, as if they were cheetahs.

Meanwhile, at the Whitman mansion…

The two bodyguards felt a chill down their spines all of a sudden.

Just when they were about to raise the alarm, two dark figures appeared in front of them and lashed out at them.

“Incoming!” One of the bodyguards shouted at the top of his lungs and began fighting the assassin. Seizing the chance while the two bodyguards were distracted, a few more figures appeared.

When they were about to kick the gate, a group of people landed in front of them from the sky.

Raymond was in the group, but he did not make any moves. “A bunch of cowards who can only move in the dark. I must find out where you guys come from tonight!” The men beside Raymond dashed forward and began fighting the intruders. At that moment, a figure appeared from the darkness and said in a hoary voice, “Captain Raymond Campbell from Team Azure Dracon?”

Raymond was stunned. “You know me? Who are you?” “Hah, a dead man doesn’t have to know who I am.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked the ground and threw himself at Raymond at lightning speed.

‘He’s fast!’ Raymond’s expression changed, and he raised his arms in a defensive posture. However, the massive force still sent him banging straight into the door, leaving a dent in it. His opponent threw successive punches while Raymond roared and maintained his defensive posture. The silence of the night was broken by the clashing of their fists and limbs. After a long while, the Whitman mansion’s gate was pushed open forcefully. Raymond fell to the ground with blood lining his lips. Michael and his wife’s faces turned pale, but Hendrick was able to keep his calm. Two figures emerged from the darkness. Apparently, they were the ones who had defeated Raymond. One of them looked at Hendrick and said coldly, “Elder Master Whitman, we’re here to take your life!”

Hendrick nodded indifferently and asked, “Can you spare my son and my daughter-in-law?” “Are you kidding me, Elder Master Whitman? If I spare your son, everything we’ve done so far will be in vain.”
