“Grandpa, is it truly possible for you to just watch as the Williams family takes over everything we’ve built?” Lucien voiced his disbelief and frustration.

In a stern tone, Calvert retorted, “I’ve told you before, we’re out of options. Leaving is our only way forward.” He considered any attempt to take on the Williams family directly as utterly foolish.

“I have faith in our cause!” Lucien replied confidently.

“Impossible,” Calvert responded, viewing Lucien merely as a child, too young for such risky decisions.

Lucien’s expression darkened. Maren had previously advised discretion around Calvert, and he now realized why Calvert was firmly against confrontation.

Calvert’s prudence and aversion to risk were becoming obstacles.

Previously, Lucien had always trusted Calvert’s leadership. However, aligning with Maren’s perspective this time, he felt that escape was not the answer but rather a retreat for the fearful.

The two nearby states–Fleotho was entirely controlled by the Williams family, and half of Criala was also under their influence. Therefore, there was simply no place for them to escape to.

Furthermore, even assuming Calvert and others could hold off the enemy temporarily, the likelihood of surviving was slim. The Williams family’s grasp was too strong, and they could be pursued relentlessly for life.

To Lucien, the idea of surviving in fear and disgrace felt more unbearable than death itself. He’d rather take a chance and fight.

Maren’s strength and unshakable resolve always left him in awe, as if she could shoulder the weight of the world.

If Maren was so confident, then that was reason enough for Lucien to believe as well.

More than anything, the thought of leaving Calvert to die so he could get away tore at him.

“I’m sorry, Grandpa,” Lucien said suddenly.

Before Calvert could process what was happening, he lunged and reached for the token at his grandf waist.

After Lucien was caught sneaking out earlier, Calvert had stripped Lucien of all authority. But that token held power over the Marshall family’s elite forces.

“You little fool! Have you lost your mind?” Calvert shouted, trying to block him.

Chapter 339 Battle With The Williams Family (Part Three)

But age had dulled his reflexes, and Lucien was far too quick

In just a few sharp, clean movements, Lucien knocked him off balance and brought him to the floor. He didn’t hesitate–he seized the token and bolted.

“Lucien! Stop! What are you doing?”

Gasps filled the room. The rest of the family stood frozen, too stunned to peak, unable to grasp what they had

just witnessed,

“Don’t just stand there–go after him! Now!” Calvert barked, fury in his voice, as someone helped him back

onto his feet.

Never in his wildest thoughts did he expect Lucien to act so boldly. He gave the order to pursue, but Lucien was already a blur in the distance–untouchable.

Lucien’s combat skills ranked among the best in the entire Marshall bloodline, and it showed.

With practiced ease, he outran the ones chasing him and led nearly a thousand elite warriors straight to Shueso

Town.

As soon as they arrived, Maren took one look at his soaked clothes and winded breath and instantly understood the trip had been rough. She said nothing about his delay.

“Catch your breath. We’ll move out shortly,” Maren said while handing him a drink.

Without hesitation, Lucien passed command of the troops to her and tossed back the drink in one gulp. “I’m putting everything on the line for this. Please don’t make me regret it.” After all, he had taken an enormous risk cooperating with Maren.

“You worry too much. The Williams family isn’t even worth the trouble,” Maren replied with a calm smirk.

“Good.” At that, Lucien let out a breath. Her certainty steadied him, easing the storm inside his chest.

“Get ready.” Maren gave the order to the artillery team ten minutes later.

Turning to the rest of the fighters, she laid out her instructions. “Once the first rounds land, start firing. Don’t waste your energy charging in. We’ve got more than enough bullets. Anything too far–let the mortars deal with

it.”

Rather than brute force alone, her plan focused on control–using firepower to dominate the field and keep their people alive. That was how they’d prove to the Williams family that the Marshalls weren’t easy prey.

With her commands in place, she casually tossed a camera toward Lucien.

He caught it, brows raised. “What’s this supposed to be for?”

…n.

“Capture the highlights,” she replied, smiling. “Your family could use something to believe in again.”

Even though she’d seen the Marshall family’s situation herself, she could picture what things looked li likely, they were already scrambling for exits or waving the white flag. Courage, she suspected, had run “Didn’t think you’d be this considerate,” Lucien said, his eyes lighting up. She was right. What the Marshall family needed wasn’t just strategy–it was a win.
