Chapter 320: The Larson Family’s Worst Situation
The next day, rumors began to circulate that young master Clark had disappeared following the fight between two mysterious king-stage cultivators. Many people wondered if the rumors were true, but the Larson family chose not to address them.
Instead, the public received another piece of news directly from the Larson family. They claimed that all the recent problems related to the devils were the work of an external organization. According to them, the remnants of the Duclan family were the true perpetrators. The Duclan family had returned, seeking revenge against the Larson family, whom they blamed for their downfall.
The reasoning presented by the Larson family was quite logical and seemed reasonable. However, without concrete evidence to prove that the remnants of the Duclan family were responsible for the devil-related incidents, it was difficult to convince the masses.
Many people scoffed at the claim, dismissing it as nothing more than an attempt by the Larson family to shirk their responsibility. Despite this, the Larson family paid no attention to public opinion and continued to push the narrative that the remnants of the Duclan family were to blame.
This continued for several days, with the Larson family presenting "evidence" each day, claiming that members of the Duclan family had actually become devils.
Although doubt lingered in the minds of many, the evidence presented by the Larson family felt like a bitter pill forcefully shoved down their throats. Gradually, the masses began to shift their opinions, wondering, "Could it really be the remnants of the Duclan family behind all of this?"
While the Larson family had not completely escaped their predicament, the growing shift in public opinion was enough to give them some breathing room and the opportunity to move forward.
-------------------------
At this time, in the Larson family’s meeting room, only three people were present: the grand duke and two of the family’s grand elders. Although the Larson family now had some breathing room, Grand Duke Larson’s expression remained grim. For several days, there had been no sign of his son.
He still suspected that the mysterious group was behind the disappearance, believing they would eventually contact him with demands. But no such contact came. The group remained silent, offering no clues or explanations.
It was a confusing situation, and the uncertainty surrounding his son’s fate was truly infuriating.
