Why was this guy so difficult to deal with?
After the family suffered significant losses, Bobby Layne, who hadn't taken the opponent seriously, finally felt a strong sense of urgency in his heart.
Neither he, who wanted to climb higher with the help of the Ryan family, nor Yang Xin, who wanted to regain power through the Ryan family, could allow this family's decline.
However, just as Leon was helpless against his three thousand lives, the young man whose ability centered around "Domination" also had no immediate way to harm Leon. He could only direct "pawns" to besiege him while guiding key "pawns" to retreat in advance.
But to Leon, whose speed was much faster than an ordinary person and could attack from over a hundred meters away, this approach was ineffective. The core forces of the Ryan family continued to dwindle rapidly!
Damn it! Why were there so many useless constructions in the manor?
In the young man's soul vision, a soul filled with demonic aura repeatedly shook off pursuers using the complex terrain and numerous landscape buildings, darting back and forth all over the manor.
As soon as it got within a hundred meters, a deep purple soul flame would instantly burst open. Immediately after, another version of himself, following closely, would gleefully catch the fragments and devour them like a whale swallowing a river.
In this highly efficient individual massacre, only two or three minutes had passed before more than a dozen people fell to his "toxic hands." Many who retreated in advance were just reaching the ground floor.
Unstoppable, absolutely unstoppable!
Controlling the hundreds guarding several important members, but still seeing them all killed from a hundred meters away by the opponent, the young man who had always acted confident finally panicked as he watched Leon move toward the residential area on the west side of the main building.
Compared to those who had been eliminated before, those residing near the main building were the true core members of the Ryan family! If even these people were eliminated, let alone advancing to replace the royal family, the Ryan family would be torn apart within a month!
This couldn't go on! He had to deal with him immediately!
Instantly pinpointing the location of a certain blond middle-aged man through his domination authority, Bobby Layne directly took over the body of a nearby steward, snarling ferociously at him,
"Why hasn't that guy named Leon been entered into the family registry yet?"
Startled by the sudden roar beside him, the blond middle-aged man turned his head, preparing to scold but abruptly realizing it was Lord Bobby controlling the steward's body to talk to him.
"Right away! It'll be done right away!"
Hearing the "old steward's" voice, full of urgency and anger, Thomas couldn't help but shiver violently, immediately responding,
"The name was just entered, but the elder managing family member identities isn't around, so no one has stamped to seal it. I am taking the registry to find him, it will only take a few minutes..."
Just then, the blond middle-aged man heard a loud bang, and the window on the sixth floor of a small building three hundred meters away shattered. An old man with a head of white hair, bare-legged, agilely leaped out the window, crashing to death on the stone pavement below.
"Now you are the new manager of identities."
With a cold expression, the possessed "old steward" said to the stunned blond middle-aged man,
"Use your seal! If you don't have him entered in ten seconds, I'll replace you!"
Hearing the "old steward's" urging, Thomas, trembling all over, felt his knees buckle, collapsing to the ground with a thud. He then crawled toward a servant, seized the family registry, turned to the last page, and forcefully stamped with his own seal!
Seeing the crooked seal in the family registry and sensing the new member now "connected" into the authority, the "old steward" finally regained his originally confident expression.
His current strength was not comparable to his peak, and he barely had a good strategy for dealing with someone with such standout individual ability.
However, as a former Great Demon, his hierarchy level was astonishingly high. Once enveloped into the corresponding rules of his authority, under a True God, no one could remain unaffected!
With consciousness extracted from the old steward and entering a new body, Bobby Layne controlled the elderly body to walk to the window, opened the window on the third floor, and shouted confidently at Leon seventy to eighty meters away,
Accompanied by this hoarse, chilly shout, Leon's figure paused in the distance as he felt his soul pulled away instantly, placed inside a "pyramid."
Inside this non-physical pyramid stood nearly a hundred thousand souls from top to bottom. From the second tier, a soul was sending an irresistible decree…
But it seemed not to be mandatory?
Upon inspecting his soul's position and discovering he too was on the second tier, Leon's soul wavered slightly before instinctively returning the gesture and retaliated with a mental needle.
How could this be! Why were you on the second tier too?!?!
The command failed, and Bobby Layne widened his eyes, unable to utter a question before his right eye suddenly darkened. He immediately lost control of the body, marking its death at the opponent's hand.
Spotting something amiss, he quickly re-entered the old steward's body, angrily shouting at the panting blond middle-aged man sitting on the ground,
"Huh? I...what did I do?"
"That Leon Laine! He's now one of those eligible for inheritance, not counted as my subordinate! Damn it! I told you to enter him as a collateral line, not to give him inheritance rights!"
"No...I didn't! I didn't!"
Hastily unfolding the family registry, turning to Leon Laine's page, he held it out to the "old steward," the blond middle-aged man quivering as he defended,
"I registered him as a collateral, Lord Bobby! Look! It's truly a collateral line!"
It truly wasn't registered incorrectly?
After examining the registry's seals and confirming no errors, Bobby Layne thought momentarily and realized that damn guy was indeed a member of the Lane family, with inheritance rights too!
The absence of a trigger for his ability before was because his name hadn't been entered into the registry, and his identity hadn't been recognized. Now that his name was in, his inheritance rights were acknowledged.
Even though his succession rank was rather low, under the rules sorting by authority, he, merely a current heir, indeed had no eligibility to command him!
In that case...there was no other choice!
Looking at the thick family registry in front of him, the expression of the "old steward" became uncertain before he took a deep breath and collapsed forward.
Meanwhile, a maid, sleeping outside the Duke of Lionheart's room, suddenly opened her eyes and got out of bed, adeptly pulling a pair of scissors from the cabinet and swiftly heading towards the Duke of Lionheart's bedroom...
