Chapter 831

One announcement after another rang out as a dense crowd flooded in, shocking everyone present–Zephyr, the Stevens family from Bridgefields, and even Christina’s entire household.

One by one, their faces turned pale as fear set in.

Irene’s legs trembled so much she nearly lost her footing. WW–Why are you showing up uninvited? What do you want?”

At the front of the crowd, Dylan spoke in an eerily calm tone. “To kill.”

Irene was so terrified she almost let out a scream before collapsing onto the floor.

Leroy’s forehead was drenched in sweat as he looked desperately at Christina. “Christie, what do we do? What do we do?”

Both he and Irene were filled with overwhelming regret. If they had known this would happen, they never would have run their mouths in front of Zephyr.

Now, they had gotten themselves into serious trouble–trouble bigger than they could ever handle. Never in their wildest dreams had they expected to stir up such a storm, bringing so many powerful people straight to their doorstep.

Christina’s face had lost some color too, but she managed to keep herself composed.

Gritting her teeth, she reassured herself in her mind, ‘There’s nothing to be afraid of. Mr. Zephyr and the Stevens family’s top fighters are here. These people shouldn’t be here to start a fight. If they were, Mr. Zephyr would step in and ensure justice is served.‘

At the head of the main hall, Zephyr sat expressionless, silently watching the crowd pour in. Some of Jayrodale’s most influential figures were leading them. With so many of them had arrived all at once, he could not help but wonder what they were planning.

With a polite chuckle, Zephyr stood up, clasped his hands together, and addressed the group. “Everyone, I am Zephyr Stevens. It’s a pleasure to meet you all!”

As the head of his household, he had no clue why they had come, but he maintained his courtesy regardless. However, to his surprise, not a single one of the Jayrodale elites responded.

It was as if they did not even see him, completely ignoring his greeting. Without sparing him a glance, they strode into the Stevens mansion’s grand hall, making themselves at home as if they owned the place, choosing their

seats at will.

His tone carried a slight edge as he continued, “The Stevens family of Bridgefields came to Jayrodale for one purpose only—to deal with that brat Andrew. We have no past grievances with any of you. So tell me, what is the meaning of this?”

Dylan remained expressionless as he responded, “Mr. Zephyr, what’s there to be confused about? Haven’t you already made your intentions clear? You said you were looking to settle the score with our boss.”

Natasha let out a cold laugh. “Well, here we are. Why don’t you tell us how you plan to ‘settle‘ this?”

Rodney, from Madblade Martial Academy, sneered as he glanced at Zephyr. “Zephyr, have you forgotten? Jayrodale is our turf. Your family waltzed in here acting like you own the place, and now even you, the head of the family, are putting on airs?”

He scoffed in open disdain. “Honestly, you’re no different from that arrogant daughter of yours, Aspen–both of you are just too stupid to realize you’re asking for death!”

Zephyr’s expression hardened. He had not expected Rodney–a junior–to have the audacity to show him such blatant disrespect.
