Chapter 369
“Grandpa, w-what should we do? Uncle is gone so David will definitely not let us off the hook!” Hank
asked in a trembling voice.
When Hanley heard David’s name, he also came back to his senses and asked anxiously,” Grandpa,
David will definitely come back to seek revenge on us this time, what should we do? You have to save
us.”
“You two should go pack your things. I’ll get you out of Somerland right away,” Joseph said.
“Oh! Okay… Okay!” The two brothers replied quickly.
“But this time we can’t use our ordinary route. I will find a way to send you to the border of Somerland
and you will go through the old-growth forest to get to the other side.”
“Huh? Why?” Hank asked.
“David is a member of Falcon. With Falcon’s intelligence network throughout Somerland, you will
definitely be detected if you follow the ordinary route. Even if you flee abroad, he can still chase after
you. Also, there are magnetic fields interfering in the old-growth forest so even planes don’t dare to
enter it. Hence, it’ll be safer to leave through there.”
“But… But the old-growth forest is so big, can we really walk through it?”
“You are already at the first-class peak level and you are about to enter Tiger Rank. Hanley is also at
the second-class peak level. Didn’t you always say you can’t break through it? This is an opportunity
for the two of you to pass through the old-growth forest, and it’s possible you’ll b e able to go further if
you manage to get through the forest. It will also be good for you in the future,” Joseph said.
“Grandpa, but…”
“No buts! If you don’t do this, you can only wait until David shows up at your door. When that happens,
no one will be able to save you.”.

“You don’t have to worry. When you get to the other side, I will prepare a lot of money for you. Then,
you can live well in any place you want. When this wave passes, I will find a way to bring you back.”
Joseph sighed inwardly as he watched the brothers frantically leaving.
He knew that this time it would be difficult for the Chasez family to cross this hurdle.
Hank was too radical and offended too many people during this time. He even offended the Warner
family which was an elite aristocratic family.
Joseph could have stopped it, but he did not expect his son Justin to be killed suddenly.
As long as Justin was at Dark Cape, the Chasez family would be fine.
What a pity…
He just hoped that the two brothers could keep the family name alive and return to Somerland one day
in the future.
Joseph got up and left the villa.
He still had a lot to do.
In addition to his eldest son, the father of Hank and Hanley who only knew to fool around outside, he
still had three daughters.
He needed to settle them down and try to distance them from the Chasez family so that they could live
a good life. It would be best if they could also leave Capital City.
At this moment, Joseph suddenly seemed ten years older.
The Chasez family, which he barely kept afloat, was finally in a desperate situation because of Justin’s
death.
At night.
After several transfers, Hank and Hanley were finally transported by truck to the old-growth forest on
the border of Somerland.
As long as they could get past this forest, they could reach a medium-sized country on the opposite
side. They would not get to Falconia if they started from here.
Since the distance here was shorter, they decided to walk there.
They each had a backpack strapped to their backs.
There was a simple sleeping bag and some food inside the backpacks.
It would take at least half a month to walk out from this point. Although there were many beasts in the
old-growth forest, they were not a threat to Hank, who was about to break through the Tiger Rank. The
only thing they needed to pay attention to was not to be bitten by venomous snakes and insects. This
would be rather troublesome.
With the help of the moonlight, the two stepped into the dark old-growth forest.
After walking a few hundred meters forward, they found flat ground and planned to rest here for a night
before setting off during the day.
It was extremely dark at night in the old-growth forest.
Even though the moon in the sky was big, round, and bright, it was blocked by the lush vegetation and
the moonlight could not pierce through at all.
To avoid being attacked by beasts while sleeping at night, the two took turns to keep watch.
The night passed quickly.
Early the next morning.
The brothers continued moving.
After two days in a row, the tension between the two of them gradually relaxed.
Although they had to stay away from home, they were okay with it as long as they could survive.
When they recalled the feeling of being on the verge of death when they met David about a month ago,
the scene played vividly in their minds.
They had no room for resistance in front of David at all.

bank card which contained a huge amount of money. It would be enough for them to spend for the rest
of their lives without worries.
“Hank, do you think we will ever have a chance to go back to Somerland?” Hanley asked as he walked.
“Of course, we can. I believe Grandpa will handle the matter well, but definitely not anytime soon. We
need to wait for this fiasco to pass,” Hank replied.
“How long will that take?”.
“How would I know? It’s all your fault, you bastard! If you hadn’t offended David, why would we need to
leave the country?” Hank scolded.
“How was I supposed to know that David was so skilled? He’s just an exchange student from SRU, and
even if we stayed home, we’d still suffer. So, I thought it was better to come out guns blazing lest we
became laughing stocks.”
“I told you a long time ago to not only think about women every day because they would sooner or later
be the end of you.”
“Celia is different from other women! If only my uncle was fine, then even if I forced myself o n Celia, I’d
still be fine too! Why couldn’t Uncle last for a few more days?” Hanley said with some regret.
He was about to go and abduct Celia from her house after the party his family hosted. However, his
Uncle Justin got into trouble while they were at the party.
‘Why are you still thinking about Celia right now? Are you nuts?”
“I’ll not give up if I don’t get my hands on Celia!”
“You…”
Before Hank could finish speaking, someone finished his sentence for him.
“You’ll never get the chance in this lifetime anymore.”
Goosebumps immediately appeared on the brothers’ arms.
“Who’s that?”
“Who’s talking?”
