My Descendants Are My Power

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Dennis's Fear

Dennis's palms were sweaty as he felt the malevolent aura above Olivia's head drawing closer as she became more gentle.

"How strange, this woman is like a plague."

Dennis was on high alert, not daring to stay any longer in Olivia's presence. He always felt a sense of danger, but just before leaving, he couldn't help but say to Olivia, "Niece Olivia, your literary talent has arrived. You observe the heavens and earth, all things, and the joys and sorrows of many families, perhaps gaining some insights."

After saying this, he quickly led his people towards the venue of the full moon feast, not daring to linger any longer.

Beside him, Declan saw Dennis's demeanor and couldn't help but laugh, "Master Dennis, even when facing enemies, treats them with such gentleness, haha, if Forest Town were to be incorporated into Jubilee County, it would indeed be a blessing for Forest Town!"

But no sooner had he spoken than his expression changed.

Dennis stared at him lightly, "Are you trying to guess my thoughts?"

"I..."

Before Declan could explain himself, sweating profusely, Dennis had already hurriedly left with his people.

Meanwhile, Olivia was still standing there, frowning as she watched Dennis's retreating figure, "He sees my dilemma, does he think the same as I do? Is this to please me, Blackwood?"

She quietly took out the Forebearer Cards, murmuring, "Forebearer, should this man be kept?"

...

The full moon feast was crowded, including elders from Gratitude Village.

As Dennis arrived with his people, everyone fell silent.

Nathan and his wife were still in the main hall, and upon learning of Dennis's arrival, showed no respect.

"Hmph!"

Seeing the arrogance of the Blackwoods, Declan squinted and said, "Master Dennis, I am also a town leader, and if the Blackwood couple won't show respect, then I need not show it either. Please wait, Master Dennis, I will go..."

Before he could finish.

Dennis, ignoring everything, shouted towards the main hall with a smile, "I am Dennis, the owner of the Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion! Passing by, I heard that the Blackwoods have a new blessed child, so I shamelessly came to visit and make some friends."

"Here are three gifts, wishing the Blackwood family prosperity and a smooth path for the blessed child!"

With these words.

Everyone at the full moon feast was stunned; they thought Dennis had come to cause trouble or to intimidate, but he was just there to give gifts!

Meanwhile, outside.

Hidden in the Forebearer shrine, Lucas, who had placed two Sky Star Psychic Ability AI Bionic Robots at the entrance and was ready to activate the treasures given by the Forebearer at any moment, was even more vigilant to prevent any mishaps.

Julian and his wife had already taken out the psychic equipment to summon the Silver Iron Forest, where the Boar Monarch Pete and psychic beasts had already gathered at the edge, ready to assist and bury the enemy with a single sound of the suona!

Daniel and the Seven Warriors were ready for battle, prepared to activate the great formation!

But they had originally thought Dennis was bringing some bloody gift.

They even prepared for gifts like human heads or murderous spells.

But unexpectedly.

"This is the first gift, wishing that between my Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion and Blackwood, there are no such opportunistic, talentless scoundrels!"

Dennis's voice echoed around Blackwood.

At the full moon feast, a head fell.

It was the head of Declan from Forest Town, beheaded by Dennis with a single palm strike, his eyes still filled with confusion and disbelief.

"This second gift, the sword of Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion, whoever receives this sword, the people of Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion will consider them a friend, not an enemy!"

As Dennis smiled and lightly waved, a long sword at his waist floated up, its blade engraved with a nine-story building under the psychic power.

"This third gift."

"A sand table map, Jubilee's three gates are about to completely occupy Forest, Horizon Falls, and Silverwood towns, all attack plans are included!"

As he finished speaking, the wind stirred around him!

Above Dennis, a psychic diagram was drawn, showing the three gates' attack routes on Tranquil County, visible to everyone's eyes!

His face was all smiles, full of confidence.

But no one knew the turmoil he was facing!

In the grand hall of Blackwood, Nathan and his wife presided with an air of terrifying authority. Dennis glimpsed something formidable—a rock that seemed unbreakable, atop which a fox demon snarled menacingly.

And then there was the newborn...

Barely a month old, yet already exhibiting Developing Skill!

To be enemies with Blackwood meant being prepared to annihilate them completely, or else face a future fraught with peril.

Just moments ago,

He had also seen his own aura, which had been on a steady rise, suddenly plummet, nearly costing him his life...

"Blackwood... what kind of cursed place is this?"

Dennis watched as the couple emerged from the hall, holding their child, and managed a strained smile.

Surrounded by crowds, with red lanterns and streamers everywhere,

He felt no joy, only a longing to return to his pavilion and resume his role as its master.

"Boss, are we just leaving like this?"

After a long conversation in the inner hall at the Blackwood full moon feast, Dennis and his wife Nathan had just left. In the sky, a psychic-powered flying craft carried Dennis at the prow, who dared not look back at the seemingly ordinary little mountain village below.

His subordinate couldn't help but wonder. Their boss, Dennis, was extraordinary in his actions; every battle usually ended with a massive haul of resources, or a bloody cleansing on the spot. It was rare for them to leave empty-handed like this.

Standing against the wind, Dennis exuded an aura of a sage, "The way of survival for Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion is to make friends all over the world. The people of Blackwood are wise to the times; they are now willing to serve our Cloudrise Oceanview Pavilion."

"So that's it, our boss truly has unmatched wisdom!"

Hearing this, Dennis's silhouette seemed even more imposing to his subordinates. He continued, "Send the word down, inform all the families in Jubilee County about this trip. Blackwood is no longer a threat, and the matter of the Dragon Tiger Gate's destruction will no longer be pursued. Blackwood will offer up... one hundred thousand primary Energy Stones every year."

His subordinate was stunned again, "One hundred thousand primary Energy Stones? Boss, the tributes from other families have never been this low."

"..."

Where could his subordinates see Dennis's expression?

At that moment, he was sweating profusely, far from the transcendent and detached appearance seen from his silhouette, gritting his teeth, only managing to keep his voice calm and light, "It's just a small favor for my appreciation, next year it will be two hundred thousand."

"Our boss's wisdom is unparalleled in the world!"

The massive psychic-powered craft flew faster and faster.

But everything Dennis encountered in Blackwood, and when he met Lucas of Blackwood, the hundred-meter-tall azure blade above his head was still vivid in his mind. And that deep within Blackwood, the Forebearer's shrine where dragons and phoenixes sang together, such celestial and strange phenomena were unseen even in the Xuanwu Gate.

There were two unknowable beings inside; he merely wanted to peek, but in an instant, it cost him ten years of his life.

Having toured around Blackwood, he lost twenty years of his life!

And those two AI Bionic Robots brought by Lucas, each one was a freak capable of taking his life.

As the psychic-powered craft soared through the high sky and clouds, like encountering wild waves, Dennis watched as his energy increased after leaving Blackwood, and finally, he smiled.

"Let the world's storms and disasters come; they will always be just a step away from me!"
