Chapter 1107: Chapter 339: 503 Heavy Machinery Factory_3 Chapter 1107: Chapter 339: 503 Heavy Machinery Factory_3 Lew Williams did not speak, only sighing softly in his heart.

How could he not blame himself.

Although it was due to irresistible reasons, the Song Family had still faced the brink of collapse under his watch; that feeling of powerlessness was indescribable.

Nothing he said now could salvage the situation anymore.

As Lew’s thoughts were in turmoil, suddenly, in an indifferent tone, Mr. Dove said, “Young master, as you know, you actually still have a better choice to preserve the Song Family. But you’re too kind-hearted and unwilling to choose that path.”

“…”

Listening, Lew abruptly looked up, staring at the old man who had served the Song Family loyally for a hundred years, as if guessing what he was about to say next.

A smile hung on Mr. Dove’s face, but his eyes revealed an unfamiliar sharpness, and he spoke impassively, yet resolutely, “Madam has left, but that does not necessarily mean she is unmonitored. In ten minutes, I will find an excuse to leave from the back door of the Mechanical Factory. My departure will certainly attract their attention. Young master, you… find a way to escape.”

Hearing this, Lew was so disturbed that he couldn’t help but shake violently. “Mr. Dove, you…!!!”

Right!

This was actually the best plan!

Using Mr. Dove, the great steward of the Song Family, to draw the enemy’s fire, was indeed the best ‘decoy’ to facilitate the others’ evacuation!

The same applied to Lew!

It wasn’t that Lew couldn’t think of it, but rather, he had never considered it.

Because this way, all the firepower would be concentrated on Mr. Dove, and the old man would undoubtedly die.

Since Mr. Dove was proposing this plan, he was naturally aware of what his actions would mean.

Yet the old man’s face betrayed no fear of death, only a resigned smile: “Miss knew that you, Young Master Lew, are kind-hearted, and she once entrusted me to explain a principle to you when the time was right. There was no opportunity before, but now is the moment.”

As he spoke, he looked at Lew and said solemnly, “Miss said that in the position of a decision-maker, one often has no choice. It’s good for a businessman to value affection and righteousness, as it is your humane advantage. But sometimes it is also a weakness. You can’t always have the perfect choice to take care of everything. Your hesitation will not only harm yourself but will also kill many others.”

“…”

Lew’s expression turned stern as he listened.

He understood this point very well.

Mr. Dove, like a cold scalpel, laid humanity bare and continued, “Like your Uncle Qi, who was double-dealing, colluding with officials, and betraying the family’s interests. According to family laws, he should have been dealt with, but your second grand-uncle pleaded on his behalf. Out of respect for blood ties, you only expelled him from the family. That act led to many problems later, including the collective defection of the Dragon City officials, causing huge losses to the family and many deaths. All because that Qi harbored revenge and caused trouble from the shadows. Later on, it was I who had him dealt with…”

“…”

Lew, like a student earnestly taking a lesson, listened quietly.

This incident, indeed, was the result of his indecision.

In the end, Mr. Dove only added, “But from today onwards, it is up to you alone to make the decisions, Young Master.”

Saying this, he glanced at the pocket watch with peripheral vision.

The punctual old man then bowed deeply to the family head he served: “I am leaving now. Young Master Lew, take care.”

Lew called out softly, “Mr. Dove!”

However,

Mr. Dove did not put Lew in a difficult position.

He didn’t even leave him any room to refuse.

Having finished speaking, he left the room without hesitation.

Leaving Lew staring blankly at that departing figure, feeling as if a large void had been carved out in his heart, empty and hollow.

This scene was like watching his beloved great-grandmother pass away.

The caring old man had gone.

…

On the pitch-dark wilderness, a small recon team of two hundred had stealthily approached.

This was a purely industrial city, its lights blazing brightly through the night.

The steam boilers thudded on relentlessly, while tall chimneys spewed out gas.

In the dark expanse, it sounded like a snoring, slumbering steel beast.

Eyes hidden in the darkness were fixated on the city, now revealing greedy and murderous gleams.

Mechanical technology was taboo in the Southern Continent.

Other cities might face sacking, but Machinery City could only expect annihilation.

“We’re approaching ‘Starfall City’. It is an important mechanical town in the East Wilderness. Intelligence suggests that there might be a production base for the Titan Mechanical Battle Armor hidden here. Spread out and infiltrate quietly; do not engage just yet. Mark any suspicious targets. Wait for the main forces to catch up before we sack the city!”

“Yes, Captain!”

“…”

Having heard the orders, the assassins dispersed into the darkness.

Hidden among the troops, Leonard Churchill whispered as he observed the machinery city that was still operating normally, “I should not be too late…”

If production was still going on, it meant that nothing major had happened in the city yet.

Catherine Carter said that the Song Family had a secret workshop here.

Coincidentally, the people of the Southern Continent had also set their sights on this city.

He had originally planned to come alone.

But he had run into a military operation and decided to accompany them.

Leonard had guessed that the Southern Continent wouldn’t be able to eliminate or would not choose to eliminate the Orlan Royal Court just yet.

Therefore, the current military objective would be to specifically uproot various mechanical factories.

They could wait for the New King of Orlan’s kingship to strengthen further.

But they would certainly not allow the mass production of the Titan Mechanical Battle Armor, a threat to the top-tier strong of the Southern Continent, go unchecked.

Without further thought, Leonard’s figure also vanished into the darkness, speeding toward the machinery city.
