Chapter 188 The Old Mrs. Mason
If they were merely tricked by Bernardo, they would just accept it and let it go!
And now!
Due to Bernardo’s deliberate concealment, they lost all the Dark Energy fighters they had sent to Hilshire except for Old Lewis. There was no way they could endure it!
So they decided to endure it no more!
The people they sent to Hilshire were all their elite forces. The worst of them were Middle Stage fighters. Compared to the Mason family, maybe they didn’t really send that many people. Some families sent four, some families sent eight, but they didn’t have many Middle and Late Stage fighters to begin with, and those people were the best they had!
They lost their best people, so what should they even do to survive in this huge city going forward?
And the scariest part was…
Sean was not dead!
In case Sean came to the capital and came to them for revenge, what would they do to protect themselves???
“Mr. Mason!”
The four of them came towards him with big steps and finally just surrounded Bernardo. Those vicious, fierce eyes fell on Bernardo, and they didn’t even bother to call him “Brother” anymore!
If they were not in his place, if they were not afraid of the power of the Mason family, if it were simply someone else, they would have rushed up and cut Bernardo into pieces!
Damn it!
Damn it!
“What do you all mean by this?”
Bernardo knew that Old Lewis was not dead, so he guessed Rocco and Benedict and the others had already learned the results of the battle over in Hilshire. He met their fierce gaze, and Bernardo was not afraid at all. He coldly said, “Are you guys trying to make a move on me?”
Although he knew it was his fault, Bernardo was still fearless!
This was his place after all!
His voice was like the rumbles of thunder, which instantly traveled hundreds of meters away and covered almost the entire villa!
Whoosh!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Soon, they all heard some whistling sound as countless shadows came sprinting from all directions. In the blink of an eye, over twenty Mason fighters appeared behind Lewis and the others!
They were immediately surrounded!
Those Mason fighters simultaneously released their dark energy, and instantly, an incomparably oppressive aura enveloped Rocco and Benedict and the others, and they almost felt like they were about to suffocate!
In an instant, all their faces turned ashen!
The Mason family’s foundation was far beyond their imagination. Even though they had sent over a hundred Dark Energy fighters to Hilshire, they still had quite a few fighters in the villa!
These twenty fighters around them were all in the Middle or the Late Stage!
Bell was among them!
His icy gaze swept over them one by one before asking, “Master, what do you need us to do?”
What he meant was clear. Were they going to give them a beating? Or just kill them?
“Huh!”
Bernardo hooked up the corners of his lips and smiled morosely as he hummed, “It’s not what I want to do but what they want to do to me!”
The four of them immediately looked at each other, and they all saw a strong fear in each other’s eyes!
On their foreheads there was instantly a fine layer of cold sweat!
Grunt!
They all couldn’t help but quietly swallow their saliva!
‘We did want to do something to you at first, but now you’re just so fucking shameless. You called for help? Then what the hell are we going to do to you?’
“Mr. Mason.”
Benedict hesitated for a moment and said stiffly, “Over a hundred people died in the battle of Hilshire, and only one of the people we sent to support you, Mr. Lewis, survived.”
“Don’t you think you should give us an explanation?”
A lot of people died in the Battle of Hilshire, and among those people, there was only one Complete Stage fighter, and he happened to be the old Mr. Young!
Of course Benedict couldn’t just forget about it!
But, in the current situation, he could only force down the anger in his heart and keep his tone as calm as possible. For he knew, if he didn’t, he might easily anger Bernardo and might not be able to walk out of the villa today!
“Explanation?”
Bernardo looked at Benedict and asked, “What explanation do you want?”
“The vast majority of the people killed there were from my family. If we need to talk about losses, did you guys lose more than we did?”
“If you want to share the cake with me, you have to be prepared to share the defeat as well!”
“You guys are happy when we win, and when we lose, you come to me for an explanation. What do you guys think I am?”
The aura was awe-inspiring and aggressive enough!
As Bernardo said, the Mason family had suffered heavy losses this time, and now compared to Benedict and the others, he should be far more angrier!
He even wanted to go to Luna to ask for an explanation!
When they heard his words, those Mason fighters around them, including Bell, all froze, and their hearts jolted fiercely. They had sent so many Dark Energy fighters to Hilshire, and as a result, they had actually lost?
They really felt unbelievable!
Many of those people who were sent to Hilshire were their relatives, friends, brothers, and uncles!
“But…”
Benedict was still unwilling to give up and said, “But you knew that Sean was still alive and they had ambush in Hilshire, so why did you hide it from us?”
Sean!
When he heard Benedict’s words, Bell’s eyelids jumped violently!
Apparently he was also shocked by this news!
“So what if I just had to hide it from you guys?”
Bernardo was a little impatient. If he were to mention anything about Sean, he would definitely mention the Porter family. Of course he wouldn’t tell them that he had been tricked by that little girl from the Porter family as well, right?
He didn’t want any more shame.
“How can you…”
Benedict gritted his teeth.
“Send them away!”
Bernardo grunted.
“What happened today, you’d better let it rot in your stomachs and don’t talk nonsense to anyone if you don’t want extra trouble!”
“Otherwise!”
“You will all be like this phone!”

At that, Bernardo threw the phone, which he had crushed into a pile of scrap metal, at Benedict’s feet!
Benedict and the others were extremely angry!
They still wanted to argue, but Bernardo didn’t give them a chance to speak. He turned around and walked away, while Bell immediately came forward, reaching out his hand, “Gentlemen, please!”
Then he looked at those Mason fighters around him, “Send these gentlemen back to their homes!”
At that he then went after Bernardo.
Those four men all clenched their fists, but in the face of the twenty Mason fighters around them, they did not dare to say more, much less make a move easily. They could only glare at Bernardo’s back, gritting their teeth and leaving…
…
“Master.”
Bell followed behind Bernardo, worried, “So Hilshire…”
Bernardo reached out his hand and stopped him.
But Bell still couldn’t help saying, “We lost so much in the Hilshire battle. Perhaps Mrs. Mason might have a problem with that.”
Since his father passed away five years ago, the entire Mason family was under the sole control of the old Mrs. Mason. In the past two years, although she had handed over many family affairs to Bernardo and focused on cultivation hoping that she might reach the Complete Stage one day, Bernardo still had to report to her every day.
No matter when something big happened, Bernardo still needed to ask her for instructions!
“I will go and explain to my mother.”
The direction Bernardo was walking now was leading to the pavilion that his mother had been using for cultivation, and as he walked, he said, “I need you to personally keep an eye on Luna’s whereabouts, and I want to know if she has returned to this city.”
“And!”
“Tell the people over in Crane Town! I must know when and how Sean escaped from Luna’s place!”
He had to get these things straightened out as soon as possible!
“Yes, Master!”
Bell nodded his head. He didn’t know what had happened, but he didn’t have to be a genius to guess that Sean’s sudden appearance in Hilshire must have something to do with Luna!
After Bell left, Bernardo arrived alone outside the door of the pavilion where his mother was. He took a deep breath, and then… Poof! He knelt down and shouted through the door of the room, “Mother!”
“I’ve lost!”
“We lost one hundred and twenty-seven people in Hilshire, and they were all killed by Sean!”
