Leading My Family to Glory

After dinner, Winifred Zea and Heather Quelch took the plates into the kitchen to do the dishes together. The two of them were like a real mother-daughter pair, they were closer than before. Connie Yorke also helped to clean up, but she felt as if her position as a daughter was in danger.

“Let me help as well,” she said, rolling up her sleeves and quickly walking into the kitchen, ready to help with washing the dishes.

Before this, forget about washing dishes, Connie had never stepped foot into the kitchen even once.

“Go, go, go,” said Heather, chasing Connie away. She asked her to play somewhere else, then continued to happily talk to Winifred.

After being treated like that, Connie felt like crying. She stood with her arms akimbo, a displeased expression on her face.

“Mom, now that you have Sister Winifred, you don’t love me anymore?” she said as she angrily walked out of the kitchen.

It could be karma for trying to steal Winifred’s husband. The outcome was that she failed in stealing Tyr, and her mother got stolen instead.

Tyr and Winifred would not be going back to Khanh City that night, they had prepared to stay for the night. Coincidentally, Winifred wanted to visit Autumn Field Group’s Prime City branch, to check out the state of affairs.

At the same time, Winifred planned to hide her identity and drop by anonymously. That way, she could accurately assess the branch, as well as the company’s situation.

Even though cleaning up the dinner table and washing the dishes were a women’s job to begin with, they usually had maids to deal with it. However, today, Heather insisted on doing things herself. This was because she wanted to feel this feeling of doing housework that she had not felt for many years.

After dinner, Tyr and Carson went out of the house.

“Tyr, remember what I told you about Zeppelin Wayne?” asked Carson.

“Yeah, I remember.” Tyr nodded, of course he remembered.

Once Zeppelin heard about Tyr beating Sword Freak with two moves, he wanted Tyr to take him on as an apprentice. Tyr had rejected him. This was not possible.

Carson went quiet for a few seconds, then said, “Yes, you cannot accept him as your apprentice. However, this brother of mine has been obsessed.”

“Obsessed?”

“Yes, obsessed with swords,” said Carson. “After his injuries healed, he locked himself in his villa and continuously trained his sword techniques. Even I don’t know why he’s being this obsessed. Maybe it’s because after Sword Freak died, he lost a rival.”

Even though Southriver’s Blade Maniac and Northriver’s Sword Freak were rivals, they still cherished each other.

They both trained hard with the goal of defeating one another. All they thought about was training and their rival. With Sword Freak dead, and not even by his own hands, Zeppelin did not feel satisfied with the result. Now that he could not accomplish his goal, he could only take it to his grave.

Or maybe, Zeppelin was grieving Sword Freak’s death. This was a way for him to vent out his sadness and anger. This type of feelings could not be explained, only true professional warriors could understand it.

“Riverdale is too small.” Tyr sighed. “ If Sword Freak and Southriver’s Blade Maniac were to challenge the world, what level could they achieve? Uncle Yorke, where is Zeppelin now? Take me there.”

“Alright.”

Well aware of Tyr’s intentions, Carson immediately took Tyr to a courtyard not far from the Yorke family’s house.

Zeppelin had stayed in the Yorke residence this entire time. Even though Yoshua Murray and the other experts stayed in the Yorke residence for most of their days, they still had their own family homes.

For Zeppelin, the Yorke family’s courtyard was his one and only home. This was the most simple and fresh area in the Yorke residence.

The entire place had been designed by Carson. There was a simple and small wooden cabin with a decent-sized yard. The yard was not filled with flowers and grass, but with a bunch of wooden dolls.

These wooden dolls were inserted into potholes in the ground. If a wooden doll got destroyed, the next day, someone would exchange it with a new one.

Tyr and Carson arrived at the door of the wooden cabin. They saw Zeppelin swinging his sword non-stop in the middle of all the wooden dolls. Each swing made a powerful blow. It did not matter if the wooden dolls were thick or thin, he easily sliced them into two.

Carson was about to ask Zeppelin to stop, but Tyr stopped him. He just stood there and watched Zeppelin, observing his performance. After about five minutes, the more he watched, the deeper Tyr frowned.

Noticing Tyr’s expression, Carson got worried. “Tyr, your expression isn’t good. Is Zeppelin’s situation bad?”

Tyr did not answer directly, he just nodded lightly and said, “Uncle Yorke, can I trouble you to go in and ask Zeppelin to stop now?”

“Ok.”

Carson walked into the yard. It looked messy from all the broken pieces of wood.

There were over ten broken wooden dolls that Zeppelin had slashed, some of them were even slashed in half like a matchstick.

“Zeppelin, stop. Look who I brought to visit you,” said Carson as he walked towards Zeppelin.

Suddenly, Carson could feel a berserking aura approaching him. He felt as if he was trapped in a layer of bloodlust. He felt like his life was in danger, as if he was surrounded by a pack of hungry wolves.

“Zeppelin!” Carson shouted loudly, but Zeppelin was already approaching with his sword in hand.

Zeppelin’s face was a mess and his eyes were red. He swung his sword with great speed.

Carson’s skills were not on Zeppelin’s level, in fact, the latter was way stronger than the former. Carson could not dodge Zeppelin’s attack in time. Zeppelin’s sword was about to hit Carson’s head and chop him into two like the wooden dolls.

Tyr immediately appeared beside Carson and reached his hands out, grabbing Zeppelin’s sword to stop his movements.

At that moment, Zeppelin’s sword was a few meters away from Carson’s head. Carson could almost feel the pain on his forehead, as if the sword had already touched him.

However, Tyr had effortlessly stopped Zeppelin’s swing.
