Chapter 306 The Secret of the Dagger
Leones returned to his room.
He began removing his weapons one by one and placing them aside.
Just as Leones placed Aaron’s dagger down, suddenly, the demon blade reacted.
With a crisp clash, the two weapons collided.
They stuck together tightly like two pieces of magnets.
“Huh?! What’s going on?!”
Leones reached out and picked up the two weapons.
But he couldn’t separate them.
The demon blade and the dagger, one large and one small, were fused together, mutually attracted to each other.
Leones took a closer look and discovered that they were filled with a mysterious power.
And the eerie power within the demon blade was continuously being absorbed by the dagger.
In no time at all, the demon blade was completely drained and turned into an ordinary weapon. The demon blade fell to the ground and shattered.
“Huh?!”
Leones was shocked once again.
Because all the strange power within the demon blade was completely absorbed by the dagger! In a moment, the dagger calmed down.
It became just like usual.
Leones suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to feed Aaron’s dagger with blood today. Of course, Leones had originally thought that Aaron was joking when he said the dagger needed to be fed with blood occasionally.
But now it seemed that this dagger was even more peculiar than the demon blade!
He forgot to nourish it with blood today, but it suddenly drained the power of the demon blade!
“Could it be that this dagger also seals a powerful force? Or even a terrifying creature? “Otherwise, how could it easily devour the strange power within the demon blade?!”
Leones played with the dagger for a while but couldn’t find any clues.
However, when Leones reached out to grab it just now, he did sense an unusually powerful force surging within the dagger.
Perhaps Aaron had suppressed the terrifying power within the dagger.
“The secret of the dagger can only be clarified when I see Aaron again next time.”
But Leones didn’t know when he would see Aaron again.
Leones put down the dagger and tidied up the shattered demon blade.
Then he went to bed.
The next morning, Leones summoned Five Major Families to announce some appointments.
The executives of Five Mysterious Families arrived early, patiently awaiting this opportunity for a

reshuffle.
“Hehe, I’m close to Mr. Bloom. The new patriarch of Five Major Families will undoubtedly be me!” David said confidently.
David was one of the older members of Five Mysterious Families with considerable strength to take on such a responsibility.
But an elder from the Peggy family disagreed.
“In terms of age, qualifications, and strength… What can you compare with me?”
This person was an old patriarch of the Peggy family, Jonas Peggy. After Lucas was killed, Jonas took control and aimed to become the new patriarch of Five Mysterious Families.
“Mr. Jonas Peggy! You mentioned age and qualifications, and I won’t argue with comes to strength… hehe…” David chuckled. “I’m not weaker than you!
“You are not young anymore. You should rest at home!
“I will take care of Five Mysterious Families. You can rest assured!”
you.
But when it
Jonas snorted, “I can’t feel at ease with someone like you who is fickle and indecisive. I must take charge of the overall situation!
“There’s no point in arguing. We’ll see who Mr. Bloom chooses when he arrives.”
Seeing the Peggy family and the Back family at odds, Marie, who was sitting opposite them,
couldn’t help but sigh.
She remembered what Leones had said to her last night.
She wondered how these two would react after Leones made the announcement.
They certainly wouldn’t have expected that she would ultimately become the new patriarch of Five Mysterious Families!
As they debated, Leones walked in.
“I apologize for keeping you waiting.” Leones sat down at the main seat.
The members of Five Mysterious Families stood up, saluting and greeting Leones.
“Today, I gather you all here to reorganize Five Mysterious Families into one united family.
“Throughout history, unity brings prosperity while division leads to decline. Five Mysterious Families each have their own strengths but can’t stand alone. If you can work together with fewer internal conflicts, you will become a formidable force in Fatuma!”
Leones said directly.
“Hear! Hear!” David vigorously nodded and agreed, “Mr. Bloom, I have long had this idea.
“Max lacks ambition and foresight. He fears that if Five Mysterious Families unite, it will be difficult to control, so he has always been trying to divide us.
“We are fortunate to have you, Mr. Bloom. You have finally proposed the idea of uniting Five Mysterious Families!
“The Back family fully agrees!”
Seeing David’s enthusiastic performance, the people from the other four families were both angry and amused..
They would certainly not be able to retort him.
They just hoped that Leones wouldn’t be fooled by David.

“Ahem!” At this moment, Jonas stood up. “Mr. Bloom, you are right. The Peggy family also agrees. “But a family can’t have two patriarchs. After Five Mysterious Families unite, we can’t have different factions ruling independently. We must select a respected patriarch.
“Mr. Bloom, will you take on the role of the new patriarch of Five Mysterious Families? Or will you choose one among us?”
Jonas introduced himself, “Oh, right, I apologize for forgetting to introduce myself. I am Jonas Peggy, the old patriarch of the Peggy family, currently the oldest person among Five Mysterious Families!”
Jonas‘ meaning was clear. He was eager to become the new patriarch of Five Mysterious Families. “That’s senior abuse!” David muttered. “We are choosing the new patriarch of Five Mysterious Families, not conducting a longevity contest. Since it’s about the unity of Five Mysterious Families, we should give young people some opportunities.”
David naturally spoke for himself because he was younger than Jonas.
But Leones laughed. “Yes, this time I will choose a new patriarch from among you to lead Five Mysterious Families. And it will be a young person!”
Jonas was disappointed. He was the oldest person in the room and the first one to be eliminated. David immediately sat up straight, hoping to be chosen.
Then, Leones announced, “I declare that the new patriarch of Five Mysterious Families is Marie Roberts from the Roberts family!”

What?!
Everyone was stunned.
Except for Marie, no one expected Leones to give such an important task to Marie.
The Roberts family benefited, but they were also shocked and couldn’t understand why.
Perhaps Leones liked Marie.
The Roberts family thought it was possible.
“Why her?!”
Jonas stood up angrily and questioned.
“Mr. Bloom, are you joking with us?
“We are choosing the new patriarch of Five Mysterious Families, not a beauty! How can we let a little girl take on such a heavy responsibility?”
In Jonas‘ eyes, he would rather lose to David than to the little girl from the Roberts family.
Upon hearing Jonas‘ words, the others dared not argue, but they whispered in frustration.
How could such an important position be taken lightly?
“Mr. Bloom…” Before David finished speaking, he suddenly caught sight of Leones‘ gloomy face. He immediately shut up.
Leones stood up and said, “It seems that you still haven’t realized your position.
“I called you here not to consult with you, but to announce it to you!
“As for why…”
Leones glanced at Jonas.
It sent chills down Jonas‘ spine.
Suddenly, there was a loud crash.
The door of the hall was violently kicked open.
The terrifying head of Giant Python rushed in.
Wherever it passed, it left a mess!
Then, Giant Python opened its mouth, spit out its long tongue, and swallowed Jonas whole! Giant Python stared at the people present, its eyes like two searchlights.
It took a long time for them to realize that Jonas had been swallowed by Giant Python!
Everyone was frightened and fled in all directions, afraid that they would be swallowed by the snake the next second.
“Whoever can subdue this beast will become the new patriarch of Five Mysterious Families!” Leones announced publicly.
How could they possibly subdue this monster?!
The people looked at each other, their faces pale.
If it were still Giant Python the Roberts family had raised before, perhaps many people within Five Mysterious Families would have the confidence to subdue it.
