Chapter 1715
Everyone on the 9th floor wanted to leave as soon as possible.
This was because the puddle Archimedes left was too pungent.
No one dared to cover their nose, so they could only endure the stench. They were worried that they would provoke
Archimedes and get themselves killed.
If someone from the Lightfoot family killed them, they would never be able to appeal for justice.
Their families would not do that for them at the risk of annihilation.
Hence, no one dared to do anything before Archimedes spoke.
The 9th floor became eerily quiet. One could even hear a pin drop.
up
After a while, Archimedes said, “I hope you will do as you said. If not, don’t blame me for being merciless. Don’t
think I won’t notice if you pull some dirty tricks behind my back. I will look all of you here and if word about this gets

today does not just concern this, this concerns my entire family. You should know how serious it will be if word gets
out.”
After he said that, Archimedes looked at everyone as if he wanted to remember their faces.
The ones whom he looked at lowered their heads unconsciously, not daring to look into his
eyes.
Then, Archimedes said, “Uncle Bernard, let’s go.”
Soon, he left one step ahead of Bernard while Bernard followed closely behind.
After Archimedes left the 9th floor, everyone let out sighs of relief.
It was pretty stressful to be around the first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family and a late Sovereign Ranker.
Everyone knew that if there had been less of them around, or they did not have as many Sovereign Rankers, things
would have ended badly today.
Archimedes had already shown his intention to kill, and he would have wanted to kill everyone in the room to
prevent any news of this getting out.
However, he soon realized he could not do so, which is why he gave up that thought.
If he had one more late Sovereign Ranker with him, he would have spared no one.
Soon, one of the mid-Sovereign Rankers stood up and said, “Everyone, we all know what kind of family the Lightfoot
family is. Not only do they control Splendor, one of the top five trading companies and have countless wealth, but
they also have a behemoth like the Ginger family backing them. Therefore, we can’t afford to offend them. So
please, keep what happened today a secret. If not, everyone will be in trouble. Don’t implicate others if any of you
want to court death.”
“He’s right! Master Archimedes is the first-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family, and he will be
the future head of the family, so he can represent the Lightfoot family. Plus, Cornelius, the second-in-line heir, died
mysteriously recently and they haven’t found the murderer yet. The Lightfoot family doesn’t have a place to vent
their anger, so if anyone provokes them now, they will surely be crushed to pieces and their family will also be
implicated. So please watch your mouths,” a beginner Sovereign Ranker added.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“This is related to your lives, and you’re not fools. Therefore, I believe you all know what to do. Keep what
happened today a secret and don’t tell anyone no matter how close your relationship is to them. Once it’s exposed
and the Lightfoot family is enraged, no one can bear the consequences,” another mid-Sovereign Ranker also said.
This person was the elder of the young man who fought with Louie just now.
Since the two mid-Sovereign Rankers had spoken, everyone chimed in to promise that they would not say one word
of what happened.
After everyone made the promise, they left.
This guaranteed that no one would talk about what happened today.
After all, this concerned they and their families’ lives.
They could not afford to offend the Lightfoot family.
At this moment, Angelica stood up suddenly and said, “Everyone, I have something to say but I don’t know if it’s
appropriate.”
“Just say what you want to say, sweetheart.”
“I think all of us here are on the same boat, so no one will be safe if something happens. I think we should get each
other’s contact details. If something happens, it’ll be easier to communicate and get in touch, or we can also warn
each other in advance. What do you all think?” Angelica asked.
