Chapter 230 The Four Noble Lineages‘ Decision
“Just you wait, Celestia! Mr. Lynch will make you pay for this!” Geoffrey fought through the pain and sna
rled at Celestia.
“Hahaha! If he dares to show himself, I’ll make sure that’s when he breathes his last! You should worry
about yourself instead!” Celestia scoffed scornfully.
She did not have enough people with her the last time, but that was not the case now.
Geoffrey had more to say, but the Yorks‘ men had dragged him out of the office.
They hung him up outside the branch office.
All at once, all the employees in Southlake Corporation’s branch office were terrified.
“What next, Ms. York? Should we head over to the headquarters of Southlake Corporation?”
Ivan asked.
“No. Let’s stop for the day. We’ll attack the headquarters tomorrow,” Celestia instructed.
“Yes, Ms. York,” Ivan replied.
“Since you offended me, Caspian, you’re going to die!” Celestia growled menacingly.
She needed to formulate a plan to seize the entire Southlake Corporation.
It was time for her to settle the score with Caspian!
Over at Mahayan Pavilion in Easton, Homer gave Wylie an update.
“Lord Jennings, the Yorks of Dhord City have taken action in the Two Lakes area. I’m guessing they’ll s
oon take over Southlake Corporation.”
“Good. Let’s see how Caspian handles the situation,” Wylie said with a laugh. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
“What’s our next step, Lord Jennings?” Homer asked.
Rising to his feet, Wylie exuded a murderous air as he said, “Now’s not the time for us to declare war o
n Celestial Sanctum. First, we’ll deal with his supporters. Since the Four
Noble Lineages chose to stand against us, we’ll start with them!
“Give the order. From now on, focus all our resources on wiping out the Four Noble Lineages! I want th
em to disappear from Easton for good!”
Wylie could already see victory in his hands.
“Yes, Lord Jennings!” Homer answered. He immediately made the arrangements.
Easton was fraught with tension. Few people roamed the streets,
The Luckerman family was the most mysterious of the Four Noble Lineages. They usually kept a low pr
ofile.
A century ago, the Luckermans were indisputably the top elite family in Easton.
As the situation in Easton continued to evolve, the family’s
glory declined over time. However, they were still the mightiest of the Four Noble Lineages!
Inside the living room at Luckerman Residence, the heads of the Four Noble Lineages gathered to disc
uss the present circumstances.
“Howard, now that we’ve decided to stand with Celestial Sanctum, Mahayan Pavilion will certainly com
e after us!” Herman said.
“That’s right. Since Celestial Sanctum is more powerful, Mahayan Pavilion will choose to attack us first.
We can’t just sit around and wait for that to happen,” Jaxon chimed in as he nodded in agreement.
“Howard, the Luckerman family has always been the top among the four of us. Even though we
fight among ourselves sometimes, we need to stand united now! I hope you can help us decide our bes
t move,” Jon said as he looked at Howard.
All three pairs of eyes were on Howard, whose eyes glinted as he sat there with a serious expression.
As he was over 60 years old, he witnessed all kinds of crises in Easton.
Though the Luckermans were not as powerful as they once were, no one dared to underestimate them.
He looked at the three men who were waiting for his answer and said, “Based on strength alone, we ca
n’t stand against Mahayan Pavilion. However, we have another option!”
“What is it?” the three men frantically asked.
“If we choose this option, we will all be saved. What we need to do is make our position clear to Mr. Lyn
ch!” Howard declared.
Jon, Herman, and Jaxon were startled.
“Haven’t we made ourselves clear enough the other day?” Herman said puzzledly.
The other two also looked at Howard in confusion. They did not understand what he meant.
Howard said, “I secretly had someone investigate Mr. Lynch. He seems to be nothing more than the St
ewart family’s matrilocal son–in–law, but he used to serve in the army.
“Not too long ago, he stirred up huge waves in Southlake City. Even John Anderson, a high-
He continued, “Mr. Lynch’s wife, Willow Stewart, is the CEO of Southlake Corporation. Right now, the c
ompany has full control over the Two Lakes area’s business market. I’m guessing they came to Easton
to expand their business.
“Even though we’ve met Mr. Lynch, we haven’t shown him enough sincerity. We must prove to him that w
The more he said, the more confused the others were. They could not figure out what he was trying to s
Knowing that they were confused, Howard explained, “Right now, all of the businesses in Easton are in
“Since Southlake Corporation wants to expand its business into Easton,
we, along with Mahayan Pavilion, are its biggest obstacles. Under these circumstances, what we need t
“And how do we do that?” Jaxon asked. He was still confused.
How could they give Southlake Corporation a boost?
“To prove our sincerity, every one of us should give Southlake Corporation 50% of our business assets a
Everyone was stunned. They did not expect Howard to come up with such a plan.
The Four Noble Lineages had a great deal of influence in Easton, 50% of their business assets equaled
an unthinkable amount to invest in Southlake Corporation!
“Are all of you so short–
sighted? We won’t be losing from our investment. We’ll even be making a profit. Either way, you can cho
“Which one of you is sure that your family can go up against Mahayan Pavilion?” Howard asked.
The others began to ponder in silence.
Even if the Four Noble Lineages combined forces, they still

Mahayan Pavilion was filled with skilled fighters, while the Four Noble Lineages focused on their busines
Still, it was hard to stomach the idea of giving up half of their assets.
