Invincible! This person has lived for a billion years-Chapter 174 Dumbfounded!

Aaron and Russell thought that by dealing with Calvin and Charles, they would have the entire Turner family under their control.

However, upon entering, Sean's attention was constantly on Alice.

He wasn't really concerned about anyone else, but Alice, who had been an ordinary person just a few days ago, had surprisingly become an intermediate Soulmancer. Could it be that she had encountered some sort of fortuitous event?

The others present were just ordinary people, and Charles seemed to be nearing the end of his life, so there was naturally no need to be wary of him.

As long as Alice didn't intervene, everything would be fine.

While Alice was still hesitating about what to do, Travis Barnes suddenly burst in, shouting, "Everyone, stop!"

Travis had only just remembered that Alice was Charles's granddaughter! 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝒈

He had someone look into it further and found out that Calvin was Alice's father.

When he learned this, he was almost scared out of his wits.

He hadn't known, when plotting against Charles Turner, that Charles's granddaughter had such an extraordinarily skilled master. By the time he realized this, Russell and his group had already made their move.

Seeing the scene in front of him when he entered, Travis felt extremely unwell.

Having narrowly escaped death, he had caused such a big problem for Alice's family. If William found out about this, he might not even get the chance to be a human punching bag for Alice.

Sean was initially just guarding against Alice, but when Travis suddenly rushed in and shouted, he was completely baffled.

Wait a minute!

Wasn't Travis on their side?

"Mr. Barnes, what are you doing?" Sean looked at Travis with a puzzled expression, not understanding his intentions.

Travis had already seen Alice, and he had also seen Russell holding a knife to Calvin's throat. He pointed directly at Russell and yelled, "Put the knife down!"

Russell hesitated for a moment, then sheathed his knife, a placating smile appearing on his face as he said, "Mr. Barnes, what brings you here in person?"

"Don't act familiar with me; I don't know you." Travis replied, then jogged over to Alice, chuckling, "Miss Turner, I apologize for my tardiness. I hope these scoundrels haven't harmed you?"

"…"

A hush fell over everyone present.

What was even happening here?

How did the man pulling the strings backstage suddenly become the savior?

Alice also finally let out a sigh of relief, judging by Travis's demeanor, he still seemed wary of William.

"Let my father come over first." Alice didn't dare to be too arrogant, in case she angered Travis, and he did something drastic.

"Your father is Calvin, right?" With a smile on his face but shadow in his heart, Travis approached Calvin.

The terrifying strength of William weighed on his mind, making him increasingly apprehensive. "Mr. Turner, I sincerely apologize. This has all been a misunderstanding. Please, come here, let me deal with these scoundrels on your behalf." Realizing the reality of the situation, Travis was courteous to Calvin, not daring to offend Alice.

Having lived a long life, Travis knew the value of staying alive in this world, especially as a man of strength and vigor. He certainly didn't want to die.

Calvin knew Travis, but he was unsure of Travis's intentions. Was he trying to mock and humiliate him?

Russell was even more puzzled. He glanced at Alice and chuckled nervously, "Mr. Barnes, are you joking? The situation is under control. If you've taken a liking to my niece, it could actually be a good match!"

He knew Travis had a reputation as a womanizer, and the way he looked at Alice since entering was a clear indication of his interest.

However, with the current state of affairs, if Travis was genuinely interested in Alice, they might as well let him take her away.

"What are you talking about?" Travis's face changed drastically, and he raised his hand, slapping Russell across the face. The force of the slap sent Russell flying.

Damn it, this wretch Russell was trying to frame him again. How could he utter such nonsense?

It could be considered showing mercy that Travis didn't kill him outright.

The power of a mid-level Soulmancer is undoubted.

Russell was left seeing stars after that slap, his head was spinning, and his ears were ringing.

"You bunch of scoundrels! Mr. Calvin, as the head of the Turner family, and you all committing insubordination, it's utterly outrageous." Travis stood there, pointing at Russell and scolded, "You! You are even more inhumane, being able to raise your hand against your own elder brother and father, I beg you, stop acting like a beast, be a human."

After finishing his rant, he picked up the contract on the table and looked at it, righteously saying, "Forcing your own brother to sign over shares and coercing your father into signing a will? You really have no sense of propriety. Have you ever considered, without Dr. Charles Turner, would you be living such luxurious lives today? Even an outsider like me can't stand to watch this."

"But… Mr. Barnes! This is a bit unreasonable of you." Sean's face darkened, and he said, "You planned all this, and now you say we are shameless? Are we doing this or not? I've already offended Charles Turner; where will I stand if you back out now?"

Sean was getting more and more frustrated.

This whole thing was orchestrated by Travis. It was agreed that upon Russell's successful power grab, he would fully cooperate and hand over thirty percent of the Turner family shares to him. Why was he switching sides now?

All for a woman?

Travis didn't care whether others had a foothold or not. He only knew that if he let these scoundrels continue, he wouldn't live to enjoy this wonderful world.

Before Sean could finish, Travis had already appeared in front of him like a ghost, landing a heavy punch in his abdomen.

Sean was caught off guard.

There was a significant gap in strength between them, and Travis attacked suddenly, sending Sean flying with a punch, blood spattering from his mouth.

Travis composed himself, took a deep breath, and said to Charles Turner, "Mr. Turner, I trust you don't mind me disciplining them on your behalf? I've reduced Sean to an ordinary person; as for how to deal with him hereafter, it's entirely up to you."

Charles didn't know why Travis was suddenly helping him, but judging by his attitude towards Alice, it was probably because of William.

Alice managed to have a mid-level Soulmancer do such a thing for her.

"Thank you!" Charles said as he stood up, addressing the group of people in black, "Do you wish to follow Sean or continue to follow me?"

These individuals in black were actually Charles' bodyguards, but given Charles' advanced age, along with the instigation of Sean and Russell, and the previous intimidation by Travis, they had become accomplices.

But now that even Travis had switched sides, were they still going to follow Sean to their doom?

"We will follow your instructions, Mr. Turner," one of the leading figures in black stepped forward, expressing loyalty, and the others also stated their willingness to remain loyal.

Charles raised an eyebrow and said, "Take Russell and Aaron down... and lock them up for now."
