Chapter 125 The Four Families
That night.
The four mysterious families consisting of the Polly, Wilson, Back and Peggy families had been ordered to come to Sherland.
In a deserted wilderness, the patriarchs of the four major families took the lead in meeting each other.
“I’ve never seen Max blow up like this! He got everyone from the four families involved. Talk about rallying the troops!”
A frail elderly man, adorned in exquisite attire, sported a petite goatee on his chin. His eyes squinted as a faint smile played on his lips.
This person was the patriarch of the Peggy family, known as Lucas Peggy.
The Peggy family worshiped foxes.
“Hehe! If your son died, you would probably be crazier than him!”
On the side, another old man with a sallow complexion sneered.
This
person was the patriarch of the Back family, known as David Back The Back family worshiped the weasel.
“I don’t have that chance anymore…” Lucas shook his head and smiled wryly. “My two sons have already been killed by me. My next step is to kill another grandson and live a few more years.” “It’s a pity. Victor was swallowed by the big green python raised by the Roberts family, leaving no bones left. Otherwise, even if he was seriously injured and brought back, I might be able to save him!”
On the other side, an old woman dressed in white and with silver hair shook her head regretfully. This person was the head of the Soler family, known as Janice Soler, and was good at witch doctor skills.
The Soler family worshiped hedgehogs.
“That big green python seems to have been subdued by Leones. It’s ridiculous that the Roberts family can’t even manage their own animals. They’re really useless.”
“It’s no wonder Max left the Roberts family out this time, lest they get in the way!”
In the gloom, an old man with short stature, a gray robe, and a sharp mouth smiled sinisterly.
This person was the patriarch of the Polly family, known as James Polly.
The Polly family worshiped mice.
In addition, the Roberts family, who did not come, worshiped snakes.
The five enigmatic families of Fatuma – the Peggy family, the Back family, the Soler family, the Roberts family, and the Polly family stood for the fox, ferret, hedgehog, snake, and rat, respectively.
Every major mysterious family was good at a secret technique.
For example, the Roberts family was good at domesticating snakes with spirituality and morality.
And the Back family had the ability to summon David, drawing upon his strength. “That man subdued Snake Fairy of the Roberts family. It would be very difficult if he used it against us instead.” Janice said with some concern, “Just in case, we should collaborate with the
Four Families
Roberts family.”
“Then let’s work together to slaughter that animal and make soup!” James salivated. “It’s been a long time since I tasted snake soup.”
“And it’s a hundred–year–old python.” David also began to drool. “It’s sure to be a great tonic!”
The five families discussed for a while and decided to rest for one night. They believed it would not be too late to start again tomorrow.
Then, they dispersed.
However, James walked not far and saw that the other three people had disappeared, so he whistled.
In an instant, there were rustling sounds and numerous figures around.
A dozen men, women, and children in gray robes quickly gathered around James.
They were all experts from the clan brought by the Polly family during this trip.
“This time, the Johnson family sent the four of us to deal with Leones. It is a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity. After this is done, the Johnson family will definitely not treat us badly.”
“So I decided, tonight, our family will act in advance to monopolize this great achievement!” When the tribesmen heard this, they were shocked.
“Mr. Polly! Isn’t this too risky?”
“Yes, the Roberts family has fallen into Leones‘ hands!”
“It’s better to act together with the other three families to avoid another accident.”
When James heard this, he showed a disdainful expression and scolded with a sneer, “Although the Polly family worships rats, we don’t want all of you to be as timid as rats!”
“What’s there to be afraid of!?”
“The Roberts family is in trouble because only one person from the Roberts family came. And with so many people here this time, can’t we still defeat Leones alone?”
“Besides, this time we are in the dark, and Leones is in the light! Tonight, we will make a surprise attack and get rid of him in his sleep!”
After hearing this, the tribesmen were still a little hesitant and seemed unwilling to take risks.
“Wealth can be found in danger!” James continued to encourage, “We have all the credit, and we only get a quarter of it. The difference is not even a tiny bit!”
“Besides, once we start working together tomorrow, maybe we won’t be able to intervene!”
“However, if we make a unique achievement this time, it is very likely that we will replace the Roberts family who fell out of favor and become the fourth of the five families, and we will no longer be at the bottom of the list.”
“Don’t tell me that you want to be ridden by the other four families for the rest of your life.”
These words instantly ignited the passion and spirit of the clansmen.
Of these five prominent families, the Polly family was always at the bottom in terms of seniority. They were often ridiculed by the other four major families. Even the Johnson family held disdain for the Polly family, referring to them as “rats” both openly and behind their backs.
James felt that if the Polly family could take this opportunity to make great contributions and climb up a step, they could indeed take the risk.

Chapter 125 The Four Families
Even a mouse had to fight for it!
“We will all listen to you, Mr. Polly!”
Seeing everyone’s agreement, James showed a satisfied smile.
“Okay, this time, let’s show the true strength of the Polly family!”
“All of you, follow me!”
As he spoke, James swayed, landed on all fours, and quickly merged into the darkness.
Other tribesmen also followed James and lurked in the darkness.
They went straight to Gloriland Manor.
At this time, at the foot of Mountain Gloriland.
Veronica was at the scene, conducting on–the–spot investigation.
“It should be here!”
Veronica took out criminal investigation methods and carefully inspected the scene. She found that there were indeed people here, with traces of fighting, and even residual blood stains.
However, Veronica did not find any sign of a large monster.
Because according to what Ariella said, the giant python swallowed all the assassins alive, but how could such a big beast leave no trace?
At least the nearby lawns, as well as the mountains and forests, should leave traces of the giant python running over it.
Besides, according to Ariella’s own words, the giant python came out of the ground.
But for such a big snake to burrow out of the ground, it would have to leave at least a deep pit.
Veronica searched the mountain for a week but found nothing.
Nothing was found.
It was as if the monster appeared out of thin air and did not touch the ground.
Hence, Veronica was about to give up and go up the mountain to find Kenton for questioning.
But then, a swish came!
There was jitteriness all around.
In the darkness, there were afterimages passing by.
Seeing this, Veronica immediately held her breath and concentrated, thinking, “Is that giant python going to haunt again?”
Thinking of this, Veronica didn’t dare to neglect and slowly took off a bow on her back.
In order to deal with the giant python, Veronica specially brought out the tiger bow used in the army during this trip.
Bow drawn, string taut.
This bow could unleash the force equivalent to hundreds of pounds, truly formidable.
Veronica aimed the bow and arrow at the depths of the darkness.
“Who is it? Playing tricks!”
“Get out!”
Veronica shouted and shot an arrow into the darkness.
