Chapter 2320: Watching the Winds and Clouds Rise



Mattie Brown sat silently at home for a long time, pondering. The news that Peter Brown had sent someone to deliver— that the New Emperor planned to take action against the Windsor Family— filled him with doubts, making it hard to believe.

Impossible, right?

Mattie Brown simply did not believe this news. However, since it was delivered by Peter Brown, he was forced to accept it as true.

"Family head, it's not good. Nour Walter has been arrested, accused of assaulting the princess."

"What?" Mattie Brown's expression instantly changed dramatically.

Even if Nour Walter was a hedonistic member of the family, he would never assault a princess.

Recalling the message sent by Peter Brown, Mattie Brown's heart was already tumultuous with waves of emotions.

This is bad!

Mattie Brown was a perceptive man and instantly realized that actions against the Windsor Family had begun, targeting Peter Brown through Nour Walter!

While contemplating, the Windsor Family elders arrived, with Nour Walter's elder anxiously demanding that the family go rescue him.

Once everyone was seated, Mattie Brown handed over the letter delivered by Peter Brown's men.

After taking turns reading it, everyone's expressions changed abruptly.

"Impossible?"

An elder exclaimed in shock.

"If this is true, our Windsor Family is finished!" More people began panicking. The reason for their family's significant development was entirely due to Peter Brown. They had intended to leverage his influence to become one of the top families in the Capital City, but unexpectedly, the Royal Family decided to target them.

"Alas, I always said Peter shouldn't have relinquished military authority; without it, he lacks the power to resist!"

Stone Brown stomped his foot and sighed.

"What should we do?"

Everyone was at a loss for a solution.

Mattie Brown said, "Peter Brown mentioned that if our Windsor Family reaches the final moment, he will help us escape."

"On what basis?"

Everyone doubted Peter Brown still had such great power.

At this moment, outside chaos ensued as a house servant rushed in, shouting, "The Imperial Guard has come to surround us."

Ah!

Everyone was shocked. Their faces turned pale, realizing that a thunderous move had arrived.

Sure enough, troops marched in aggressively, led by one of the New Emperor's most trusted generals.

"General Carter, you?" Mattie Brown looked at the general in surprise.

General Carter, who used to be quite polite to Mattie Brown, snorted today and said, "Nour Walter has confessed. Despite the royal favor, your Windsor Family did not think of repaying it and instead plotted rebellion. Men, arrest them all."

The massive troops stormed into the Windsor Family house and immediately arrested everyone.

"You!"

Fear visible in Mattie Brown's eyes, he instantly thought this was an all-out attack against the Windsor Family.

An elder shouted, "You dare arrest us, what about our Peter Brown!"

"Hmph, Peter Brown is the mastermind. Naturally, Marshal Hodges has gone to capture him. No one will escape!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Windsor Family fell silent. Thinking that these were the Emperor's direct orders made them speechless.

Laughing loudly, General Carter commanded, "Take them away!"

Unexpectedly, all the soldiers turned to look at a Deputy General, someone who defected to the Emperor but originally hailed from Peter Brown's Northern Army.

The Deputy General smiled and said, "By Marshal Wang's orders, escort the Windsor Family out of Kingston."

After saying this, several people swiftly moved, instantly striking General Carter to the ground.

After this, the Deputy General looked at Mattie Brown and said, "Sir Mattie, by Marshal Wang's command, please gather your belongings. We will escort you out of Kingston. Chaos is imminent here."

Only then did Mattie Brown and the others react, quickly gathering their valuables and following the army out of the city.

As it was the Imperial Guard, this army faced no resistance and left Kingston swiftly.

Throughout the journey, Mattie Brown was engulfed in disbelief, turning to the Deputy General, "Was this all arranged by Peter Brown?"

Mattie Brown said, "Since Peter already knew and has you and your army, why doesn't he directly attack the Imperial Palace?"

The Windsor Family members were indeed harboring rebellious thoughts now.

The Deputy General smiled, "Marshal Wang naturally has his own plans. We simply follow orders. Your new residence is ready. Stay out of court affairs in the future. Marshal tells us you are not suited for politics and promises you prosperity."

That's how Genetic Soldiers are, speaking bluntly.

Another elder inquired, "What about Nour Walter? He's still detained."

"Don't worry, someone will bring him."

As they conversed, the village where Peter Brown resided suddenly became surrounded by a massive number of troops.

Marshal Hodges, as the Commander of the Imperial Guard, spearheaded the capture of Peter Brown. If they couldn't seize him, this endeavor would likely fail.

A dense army encircled Peter Brown's dwelling. Confident, Marshal Hodges viewed his troops as personal loyalists, believing there would be no issues.

Moreover, numerous watchmen had long been dispatched around to monitor Peter Brown, who had not left.

"Peter Brown, come out!"

Marshal Hodges shouted forcefully.

The portal opened, and after some emerged, Peter Brown stepped forward.

"Peter Brown, despite the royal favor, you thought not of gratitude but treason. Now that evidence is solid, what do you have to say?" With the army at his disposal, Marshal Hodges was not concerned about Peter Brown's resistance, with many arrows aimed at him.

Peter Brown chuckled, not bothering to argue, merely ordered those following Marshal Hodges, "Seize him."

"What?" Before Marshal Hodges realized, his most trusted generals swiftly stepped forward, knocking him down.

Peter Brown glanced towards the Imperial City. Even though he had the power to storm it now, he refrained, waiting for enemy nations to invade.

"Let's go!"

At Peter Brown's command, the entire army headed north.

Tens of thousands of troops, initially sent to capture Peter Brown, immediately became his personal guards, rolling northward.

The next step depended on how those with Killing Energy acted. In the Vastsea Nation, such happenings made Peter Brown sure that they would misjudge the situation, assuming that with the loss of the Emperor's support, his power drastically diminished, inevitably launching an attack.
