Chapter 1162


    Henry had been bragging about the psychic grandmaster and praising the grandmaster to the moon and


    back. He also imed that the grandmaster could be traced back to the Yard Dynasty thousands of


    years ago. The ‘grandmaster’ title had been passed down from generation to generation, and the


    grandmaster’s powers were boundless. As long as the grandmaster used his powers, Sophia and her


    party members would bepletely wiped out, all the ghosts and monsters would have to retreat, and


    the Ronney Group would quickly return to normal.


    However, the employees were very doubtful. Will this really work?

    The ritual went smoothly. Using Sophia’s hair as a guide, the grandmaster used the Yard Family’s


    Dragon Blood to write a magic spell that would suppress her vitality. In the future, she would never


    threaten the Ronney Group again!


    “Bow to the heavens!” The psychic grandmaster’s voice rang out like a huge bell. He took the lead and


    knelt on the ground, bowing in the direction of the altar. The Yard twins followed suit, and the rest of the


    employees followed their example. The core staff of the Ronney Group, as well as several other


    employees, paid their respects in unison. It was quite a spectacr affair.


    “Again!” Everybody bowed again.


    “Again!” They bowed again.


    The employees that did not understand Cethosian culture seemed to be confused while those that


    understood were feeling ashamed. All of a sudden, they smelled gunpowder in the air. A firecracker flew


    from somewhere andnded on the altar.


    Boom! The firecracker blew up on the altar. The animal offerings, the spell, and everything else on the


    altar exploded. Pork and beef were scattered everywhere, and the Ronney Group’s employees were so


    scared that they fled while screaming.


    Shocked, Henry left the rooftop under the protection of his bodyguards. He had wanted to calm the


    people’s hearts, but they were now more distraught than before. It seemed as if Sophia and the JNS


    Group had reached a point where they could no longer be suppressed by the Dragon Blood. After this


    fiasco, the entirepany was shrouded in greater panic. The Ronney Group was going down! Even the


    psychic grandmaster could do nothing!


    The ritual had failed and the rooftop was aplete mess. Subsequently, the psychic grandmaster was


    caught and dragged to Henry for questioning. “Speak! Were you the one who secretly sabotaged the


    ritual?!”


    Somebody had thrown a firecracker at the altar while everybody was kneeling, which led to the ensuing


    commotion. Standing in front of the altar, the grandmaster was in the perfect position to do that!


    Looking at Henry’s savage expression, the grandmaster began to tremble. “I wouldn’t dare, Young


    Master Henry!”


    Henry interrupted him furiously, “Who else, if not you?!”


    The grandmaster was so scared that he prostrated himself. “I don’t know either… It was perfect!


    Something must have gone wrong! Somebody must have sabotaged the ritual!”


    “Believe me; I’m going to throw you off the roof! I’ll make sure you die painfully!” Henry exploded


    violently. His emotions were out of control, and he was like a wild beast.


    The ritual had failed. Contrary to his intentions, it terrified the people in thepany even more. Henry


    dragged the fifty-year-old psychic grandmaster to the window and held him out of the window. It was a


    steep drop to the ground from the ss window. Therefore, the grandmaster was so scared that he cried


    and begged. “It really wasn’t me!”


    Unfortunately, Henry did not believe those words. Gripping the grandmaster’s neck tightly, his nails tore


    into the grandmaster’s skin. His eyes were bulging out of his sockets, and he hadpletely lost control


    of himself.


    “That’s enough!” Ryan stopped Henry in the nick of time. “There are surveince cameras on the rooftop.


    I’m sure we’ll catch the culprit!”


    Unfortunately, the surveince cameras on the rooftop had been turned off. As this was supposed to be a


    superstitious activity, Henry did not want to leave any evidence of the ritual that could make people’s


    tongues wag. Therefore, he had turned the surveince cameras off. I can’t believe that somebody took


    advantage of that loophole! He was so furious that his veins were bulging. It felt as if there was a


    cannibalistic beast inside him that could jump out at any time. Then, he suddenly thought of somebody.


    “It must be his doing!”


    At that moment, Sophia was battling inside the Swordsman Game. She was carrying Callum and Cade


    while fighting monsters. These two areplete noobs! I’ve never met such noobs before!


    All of a sudden, Callum said, “Excuse me, I need to answer this call.”


    He paused his game and answered the call. However, he did not turn off his mike. Moreover, he left his


    phone on loudspeaker… as if he deliberately wanted Sophia to listen in on the conversation. Thus,


    Sophia perked up her ears and listened to the soundsing from his side. The first thing she heard


    was an angry roar; that person had lost all control of his emotions. “You were behind the firecracker


    thrown at the altar, right?! You did it on purpose! You’re afraid that I might take hold of the Cethosian


    market and affect your standing in the Yard Family! You… are such a schemer!”


    Sophia could not tell whether it was Henry or Ryan. Aside from the color of their hair, she could not find


    another aspect to differentiate between the two of them. Based on voice alone, they were even more


    indistinguishable. Callum seemed extremely surprised after listening to the rant. Then, he looked worried


    and confused. “Altar? Firecracker? Henry, what are you talking about?”


    Sophia nearly burst intoughter. So, Henry really did set up an altar to cast a curse on me! Moreover,


    Callum threw a firecracker at the altar?! Not bad; not bad. If it were me, I would have done the same


    thing!


    Henry sneered and nearly grounded his teeth to dust. “Who else could it be but you?! My beloved elder


    brother… do you think I wouldn’t know about what you did?”


    Callum clicked his tongue and pretentiously said, “Although I don’t know what happened, it seems like


    you did something you shouldn’t have done, Henry. How many times have I told you before? Cethos is


    different from other countries. If you want to integrate yourself into Cethos, you must first understand


    theirws and regtions—”


    “That’s enough!” Henry coldly cut off his sentence. “I don’t need advice from you. Who do you think you


    are?!”


    In return, Callum pretended to be angry. “Since you won’t listen to my advice, then I can only give you a


    stern warning as your elder brother. Back when you vowed to take control of the Cethosian market, Cade


    and I provided you with the resources and money that you wanted. I gave you everything you wanted! If


    you still can’t produce results, then go back to school and study for a few more years.” After that, he


    rudely hung up and continued ying his game.


    On the other side of the phone, Sophia finally spoke up. “Wow; are you not going to confess to your


    crime?”


    He continued ying his game as he replied, “What crime? All I did was ask somebody to throw a


    firecracker.”


    Listening to him, she found it rather strange. It seemed like Callum had ced many of his men around


    his two younger brothers to act as his eyes and ears. “You’re pretty amazing to ce spies among


    Henry’s men. So, why won’t you make a move yourself? Could it be that you can’t bear to do it yourself?”


    His smile stiffened slightly. A long while passed before he quietly replied, “Mom has taught me this since


    I was young: ‘On the path to greatness, even family can be sacrificed’. What are two younger


    brothers?” The main reason is that we still don’t haveplete control over the Yard Family right now…


    Sophia hurriedly interjected, “Shh. Don’t say that out loud; Cade is listening!”


    However, Callum didn’t seem to mind. “Don’t worry. That’s what Mom taught him too.”


    “You’re weird.” Sophia could not understand their family and the way they did things at all.


    After she finished ying her game, she left her study and went back to the bedroom to sleep. When


    Carmen heard Sophia moving about, she ran out of her room. Hugging a small frog plushie, she pouted


    cutely and said, “Mommy, I want to sleep with you.”


    Sophia happily picked Carmen up and went into the bedroom. Then, she ced Carmen on the bed


    between her and Michael. Michael was sleeping deeply. Even so, he noticed the two of theming in.


    Rolling over, he held Carmen in his arms as he slept. Sophia studied her husband and her daughter, a


    tender and loving emotion washing over her. On the path to greatness, even family can be sacrificed?


    Bah! Some people might be willing to sacrifice their families for the sake of power and wealth. But, I only


    want my family and the people I love to be safe and sound. I have to forge ahead bravely and fearlessly


    for the sake of my happiness!
