Chapter 287 - Chapter 287: Chapter 277: The 9th Fischer Family (2/2)
Karno suddenly approached, smiling and saying, “Don’t be nervous, the banquet will be over soon.”
Sunbelle shook her head and said with a smile, “No, I’m not nervous at all; in fact, I feel quite excited!”
She took advantage of the moment when there was no one around to suddenly try to hug Karno, but he deftly avoided her embrace.
With a smile across his face, he teased, “Act like a lady, Miss Sunbelle!”
Meanwhile, in another corner of the manor, Yeager, Archibald, and members of the Dagger Brotherhood, including Moore, were also gathering together.
Over the past few years, Yeager had divorced his former wife and soon after married a female member of the Lion clan, and just a few months ago, he finally became the mayor of Fein City.
In the eyes of others, Yeager was an important figure within the Lion clan, not a member of the Fischer family. Only those within the Dawn Church were well-aware that Yeager was the number one seat among the Daybreakers.
He had already reached the 3rd Rank Swords Brandisher and even had the chance to aim for the coveted 5th Rank, making him the most respected “big brother” among all the Daybreakers.
All this time, Yeager had, in various ways, assisted nearly every Daybreaker.
“Long time no see, Mr. Moore, I didn’t expect you to still be as sprightly as ever,” Yeager said with a smile, nodding towards Moore. However, Moore and the others were quite aware that Yeager had no good impressions of the Proselytes.
For more than a decade, Yeager had been continually trying to secure more benefits for the Daybreakers, always putting forward suggestions that were indeed correct and aligned with the interests of the Daybreakers, also subtly influencing the decisions of the Fischer family.
This led to most of the Dawn Church’s subordinate industries being in the hands of the Daybreakers, rather than managed by Proselytes.
Standing behind Moore were his two brothers, along with gang members who had joined the Dawn Church, and several descendants of Blood Receivers, all belonging to the Proselyte faction.
“Why do you always target us?” Moore asked Yeager in a low voice as he approached him.
Yeager shook his finger, indicating that there were foreign experts nearby, and he could not speak openly about certain words.
Thus, he took out a piece of paper and wrote down his response without hesitation:
“Because you are Proselytes and we are Daybreakers, it’s as simple as that.”
After pondering for a moment, Moore also wrote down a line.
“I don’t understand.”
Yeager laughed and said,
“If I am as good to everyone as I am to our own, then how can we differentiate our own people from others?”
Moore suddenly had an epiphany.
So that was it, Yeager’s true intention was to rally a group of people and oppose another, just as a means to draw in those people.
He couldn’t help but say, “You’re quite an ambitious person, Mr. Yeager; just how far do you intend to go before you are willing to let go?”
Yeager raised his hand high towards the sky, where the Blazing Sun was making everyone sweat!
He said,
“Not until my feathers are completely melted by the sun and I fall from the sky to my death!”

In the center of the banquet hall within the mansion, not including Chris himself, there were no less than nine Monarch powerful experts present.
Aside from the Hovern family of the Eight Great Families, each of the other seven families had sent a Monarch Level Extraordinary Exponent, while the Salvation Church dispatched a genuine bishop, and the Tempest Church was represented by the familiar face of Zayne.
Zayne was brimming with smiles, genuinely happy for Chris.
No fewer than nine Monarch powerful experts were conversing and smiling, and even those who were normally on good terms with each other engaged in polite formality.
However, everyone’s focus still lay on the somewhat mysterious Chris Fischer.
By now, every person in Cyart was intensely curious, all longing to know everything about the Fischer family!
“Mr. Chris Fischer! I have a question for you,” someone finally initiated.
All eyes turned towards the voice; it was a young man with brown hair who posed the question, accompanying “Hunter in the Fog” Jayern, a young master from Abernathy family, known as the “Fog Wayfarer.”
Chris remained silent, neither confirming nor denying.
The brown-haired young man had a very innocent smile and asked with great curiosity, “May I ask, what kind of power of Bloodline do you actually possess?”
“Also, have you truly reached the Monarch Level?”
Everyone looked back towards Chris, each one inwardly filled with doubt. Yes, the secrets that the Fischer family had hidden for so long—what would the answer be?
