Chapter 1651


    Charlie looked at the old man warily after he snapped out of his shock. “W–Who are you?”


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    “John Thompson,” the old man said coldly, announcing who he was.


    “What? Y–You’re a Thompson?”


    The announcement left everyone shell–shocked as though a bomb had gone off. Whether it was


    Charlie and Rick or Damian’s side, none of them expected an expert from the Thompsons to


    miraculously be present.


    Charlie looked at Roanne behind John, and his eyes widened. He quickly guessed who Roanne was.


    “Is that Roanne Thompson, then?”


    He might never have met Roanne before, but he knew who she was.


    Most of the ancient families had heard about how Roanne had been captured by Asmodeus a few days


    ago as well; it was just that very few people had seen Roanne herself.


    With John beside Roanne and protecting her, anyone would be able to guess that Roanne was the


    secretive daughter of the Thompsons.


    “I guess you do have eyes,” John said with a sneer.


    “That…”


    Charlie was thoroughly shocked when John admitted to Roanne’s identity himself.


    Even though he knew that the first line of descendants from the Scammells had some ties with the


    Thompsons, he did not know how close Leon was to the Thompsons.


    He could not understand why Roanne would be with someone as insignificant as Leon.


    This was all out of his expectation, so he waspletely caught off–guard…but that was not all.


    He had not dealt with the Scammells directly this time and spent so much effort in helping the second


    line of direct descendants stage a coup, mainly because he did not want to alert the Thompsons about


    the matter, but his worst fear was realized. Roanne had somehow appeared in the mix!


    This greatly disrupted all his ns.


    Suddenly, he found himselfpletely stunned, not knowing what to do.


    “That’s great! So Leon has asked for help from the Thompsons!”


    After finding out who Roanne was, Patrick and the others were ted as they smiled. It was obvious


    that they all thought Roanne was part of the reinforcements Leon had gotten.


    Even though Leon had not managed to get Yuri over, Roanne was more or less at the same level as


    Yuri, so the oue was favorable.


    They would be fine as long as Roanne was willing to help. Charlie and the second line’s coup would


    have failed, too.


    At that moment, their moods were drastically different from before.


    Of course, in contrast with how happy they were, Charlie and Rick’s side had sour looks on their faces.


    Rick, Eugene, and Nigel in particr had made it obvious they were enemies with the first line. If the


    coup failed, the oue was more than obvious for them!
