Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 1218 Patricide And Fratricide 

“Stop messing around, Wanda. Have you been deceived by Alex, leading you to say such nonsensical things? Stop this, or I’ll get angry!” Hadriel implored with a mix of concern and exasperation.

A trace of restrained anger appeared on Hadriel’s face, giving him the appearance of a helpless elder brother. When they saw that, many disciples of the Raven Sect believed that Wanda must have been deceived by Alex.

“Stop with the pretense. No matter how you act, you can’t hide your ugly deeds,” Wanda said, pulling out a black dragon-shaped jade pendant from her pocket. The dragon carved on the jade pendant was incredibly lifelike.

“Everyone recognizes this jade pendant, right? It’s the jade pendant that my dad had been keeping with him all the time,” Wanda declared.

As the disciples of the Raven Sect laid eyes on the jade pendant, expressions of deep reverence appeared on their faces. The sight of the pendant evoked the image of Quintus himself, as it served as the symbol of succession for the Raven Sect.

After Quintus’ death that day, the whereabouts of Keith remained unknown, and there were no traces of Wanda either. Consequently, Hadriel smoothly ascended to the position of sect leader of the Raven Sect, stating at the time that the jade pendant had been lost and never found. Unexpectedly, Wanda returned. with the jade pendant in her possession.

When Hadriel saw the jade pendant, he instinctively wanted to snatch it. However, Alex had been closely observing him and promptly intercepted the attempt, swiftly taking the jade pendant from Wanda’s hands.

Wanda nodded, understanding that she had no choice at that moment but to place her trust unconditionally in Alex. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

hands,”

With the jade pendant now in Alex’s possession, Hadriel hesitated to openly attempt to snatch it back, fully aware that he was no match for Alex’s strength.

Annoyed, Hadriel reproached Wanda. “How could you hand the Raven Sect’s jade pendant to someone who provokes the secret forces? Earlier, I was still perplexed as to how Dad, who has always been healthy, could have died so suddenly. But now, I finally understand. It must have been your doing, wasn’t it!”

“You killed Dad and took away the jade pendant. Now, you’re aiding outsiders to attack the secret forces. No matter what, you can’t kill Dad for the sake of power. How dare you?” Hadriel continued to stir up the anger of the disciples.

That statement drew resentful glares from the disciples of the Raven Sect toward Wanda. They couldn’t fathom how the usually gentle and beautiful Wanda could commit such a heartless act. It was beyond human comprehension.

“Master Snyder, let’s finish them off!”

“She’s unworthy of being a member of the secret forces. We have to kill them. Let’s join forces and eliminate them.”

The disciples of the Raven Sect were stirred by Hadriel’s words, harboring deep resentment toward Alex

and Wanda. Their admiration for Quintus, who was known for his kindness, made the betrayal all the more difficult to accept.

It was heartbreaking and unbearable for those fellow members of the secret forces to find out that such a good man was killed by his own beloved daughter, whom he had loved for over twenty years.

As Wanda looked at her fellow disciples, with whom she had shared laughter and conversations, she saw that they were now ready to kill her. She felt an overwhelming pain in her heart, realizing that Hadriel had twisted the truth beyond recognition.

“No, it’s not like that. It’s not like that! This jade pendant was personally handed to me by my father. The reason he died was all because Hadriel poisoned him. Even Keith’s death was orchestrated by him. He was the one who murdered my father and Keith. He is the one who deserves to die the most.”

Tears streamed down Wanda’s face as she desperately tried to explain, hoping to clarify the truth.

However, her efforts were futile. The chaos within the Raven Sect had escalated to the point where no one would listen to her. As for Alex, he understood what Wanda was saying.

“Disciples of the Raven Sect, let’s avenge my father’s death together. Let’s attack and take those two down!” Hadriel commanded loudly.

At his command, everyone rushed toward Alex and Wanda!
