The price of betrayal (Jack and Ashley) novel Chapter 629

Everett was stunned by the news.

He looked at Hosea and asked, "What happened? Did the Norbergs fight among themselves for the Spirit of Life Serum? Or did something go wrong with Myth Group?"

No matter how much he thought about it, Everett never imagined that the Norberg family had almost been wiped out.

It wasn't that Everett lacked the courage to consider such a possibility. It was just that the Norberg family, while not as powerful as the Benton family, was deeply rooted and influential in the Eastern State. As a result, no one would casually think of their downfall.

Hosea's expression was grave as he spoke, "According to the latest reports, the Norbergs have been nearly annihilated. Even Mr. Norberg Senior is dead. The person in charge now of the family is Harper."

Everett's expression turned serious, and in a deep voice, he asked, "What happened? Explain it to me now!"

Hosea immediately relayed everything he had learned, including the execution of Owen's alliance members, the number of Norberg family members who had died, and who was now in charge. He also mentioned the deaths of Hound and the Duo of Doom.

Everett listened to all that with a deep frown on his face. He could hardly believe his ears.

"Mr. Frye, you must be kidding me, right? The Duo of Doom are dead too?"

Hosea nodded gravely. "Mr. Benton, how could I joke about something like this? It's true. The Duo of Doom are indeed dead. And it was Pierce who personally took them down."

Everett's expression darkened.

Hosea sighed and said, "There's not much Pierce wouldn't dare to do. I'm sure you know that he is known as the invincible powerhouse of the Tiger Ranking. That's not just empty talk. According to the latest information, he recently fought Forrest Ashland, who's tenth on the Dragon Ranking.

Although the outcome wasn't officially announced, our sources indicate that while Pierce didn't win, he didn't lose either. This means he has the strength to challenge a Dragon-ranked powerhouse, so his reputation as the invincible powerhouse of the Tiger Ranking is well deserved."

Hearing this, Everett said angrily through gritted teeth, "So what if he's invincible or gets into the Dragon Ranking? My grandfather is eighth on the Dragon Ranking. Does Pierce really think that just because he didn't lose to Forrest, he can challenge my grandfather? That's simply outrageous!"

Everett slammed his fist onto the wooden table beside him, shattering it into pieces.

"If I were the same age as Pierce, I would kill him like he was nothing! Ugh! I hate him! I hate him so much!"
