Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 330: Crazy

The atmosphere in the restaurant was awkward. Ethan suddenly remembered who he was and stood up, "What are you talking about, Edward? How did you get in? Why didn't the butler send a message?"

"Well, Sir Ethan, we don't have to act anymore. There's no harm in explaining." Edward pulled up a chair and sat opposite Ethan. Such a move was undoubtedly a disrespectful act towards Ethan's current identity.

Ethan's face suddenly became a little unnatural.

Edward pretended not to see it, and said indifferently, "We thought we could have a pleasant cooperation with Mr. Ethan, but you see, our previous cooperation went well." We helped you get rid of Sir York and put you in your current position, while you gave us a legal identity. Next, we should have worked together more happily. Unfortunately, Mr. Ethan can no longer hold back, or control his ambitions. "

"What exactly are you going to say!" Ethan said in a deep voice.

"Very simple. Our things are still ours." Edward took out a scarf and gently wiped his fair hands. "And yours, too, will soon be ours." We had no intention of doing so but to say that Mr. Ethan overestimated his abilities and crossed our bottom line. Are you going to let Baron Maud intervene? Not bad, just as stupid as Baron York. He clearly did not have the power to control the wolf, but he still wanted to bring the wolf into the sheep pen. Not only is this behavior unwise, but it also chills our hearts. That's why we decided to end our cooperation with you and officially replace you as the master of this city. "

"Don't even think about it!" Ethan clapped his hands and roared, "Sur City is mine. No one can take it away!"

"Then we'll see. When the sun rises tomorrow, you'll find that the city can't hold you anymore." Edward put the scarf on the table, smiled coldly, and got up to leave.

The white scarf was so dazzling that Ethan's eyes were bloodshot. His chest rose and fell sharply. Finally, he roared angrily, picked up an exquisite tunneling pistol, and ran out of the dining room. Edward sneered as he greeted Ethan. Without saying a word, Ethan raised his gun and fired.

The rumbling of fire/guns echoed in the corridor, scaring the two servants who were carrying the dishes to the ground. Ethan watched in surprise as Edward collapsed to the ground. He didn't expect it to be so easy, but there was actually a gun hole on Edward's forehead and blood was flowing down.

But when he fell to the ground, Ethan almost thought his eyes were dazzled, for Edward had turned into the old face of the butler. Even that wrinkled old face was filled with shock, as if he didn't believe that Ethan would shoot him.

What was going on?

Screams rang out in front of the corridor. Ethan raised his head and saw another Edward. Without hesitation, he raised his gun and hit the other party's chest. However, after Edward fell, he became a maid.

"Devil! Devil's trick!" Ethan roared and strode forward like an enraged bull. He had lost his mind and only wanted to kill the damned man at gunpoint.

Hearing the gunshots and screams coming from the City Lord's Mansion, Edward smiled. He walked to a carriage. The door opened and the gentle and beautiful Niro stepped out. "What happened? Why was there gunfire inside?" She said.

"Who knows?" Edward shrugged his shoulders.

"Did you say anything to father?" Niro asked curiously.

"No, I'm just telling him that we're still on vacation." "Isn't that what you wanted?" Edward smiled.

Niru smiled and was suddenly stunned, "Father?"

Essentials strode out of the City Lord's Mansion. Niro hurriedly got out of the car and greeted them. "Father, are you alright?" She shouted.

Hearing Niro's voice, Ethan looked over and saw that it was clearly Edward walking towards him with a cold smile. This ubiquitous devil! Ethan shouted, "The devil has to go to hell."

He raised his gun and aimed it at Niro. Niro's face turned pale.

At the critical moment, Edward threw Niro to the ground. Ethan's gun blew the windlight in front of the carriage, splintering everywhere. "Lord Ethan is crazy, Lord Ethan is crazy!" Edward shouted as he pressed down on Nero.

Many servants from the City Lord's Mansion saw Ethan and his daughter raise their guns. In addition, Ethan had killed the old housekeeper and a few servants for no reason. They also cried out to Edward. The sound of gunfire and people's voices from the City Lord's Mansion finally attracted the attention of others. A moment later, Matto arrived with a group of soldiers. "What happened?" Matto asked when he saw Edward, who was shrunk behind the carriage with Niru in his arms.

"I don't know, Sir Ethan is probably crazy. He actually wanted to shoot Niru just now!" Said Edward.

Niro couldn't help but cry, "Why, why did father do this to me?"

Matto looked at Edward doubtfully, still leading his men forward. As expected, Ethan's face was filled with madness as he pointed his gun at the surroundings and kept calling out "demons" or something. "Lord Ethan, please put down your gun. There's no danger here. I'm Mato."

Ethan looked at him, and in his eyes, everyone, including Matto, was Edward. He laughed loudly and pointed his gun at Matto. "You still want to lie to me? I won't be fooled by you. Everything here is mine! Mine!"

Seeing Ethan raise his gun, the city guards were a little nervous. Some soldiers even wanted to raise their guns at Ethan, but were stopped by Matto. Ethan suddenly pulled the trigger. Matto and the others hurriedly lowered their heads and dispersed, but they still hit a soldier in the leg. In this chaos, gunshots sounded from among the soldiers. Mato saw flashes of fire. Ethan's chest had been shot, and his clothes were slowly dyed red with blood.

"What's going on?" Matto hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and his mind went blank.

Niro also ran over with a scream and supported Ethan with Matto. Ethan still had that crazy smile on his face. After his breathing became intense, he suddenly stopped. Matto used his trembling hand to touch Ethan's nostrils. When he found that there was no breathing, he was shocked.

With Ethan dead, Matto had little idea how to deal with the problem. Edward patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's all right, Mr. Matto. We all know that Sir Ethan is crazy. As for the gun, it was just a coincidence."

Coincidence? Matto looked at Edward and realized that there was not a trace of panic in his eyes. He was so calm that it made people scared.

Was it really a coincidence? Matto didn't intend to pursue this answer, and didn't even think about whether the person who fired the gun was his subordinate. He only knew that the situation in Sur City had changed drastically. If he didn't make the right choice before this general trend, then this corpse would probably be his own fate right now.

Since too many people saw Ethan go crazy, no one doubted that. As for those who had doubts, they didn't dare to say it out loud. No one had thought that the turmoil in Sur City would be so intense. In less than two months, the previous two City Lords had died and the previous one had gone crazy. In the history of Sur City, there had never been such a frequent change of city lord.

Since Ethan was dead, he naturally needed a new City Lord. Under the empire's constitution, Nero was fully qualified to inherit her father's estate and title, and there was no shortage of female knights in the empire's history. Even now, in the far south of the empire, there was a duchess who was famous for her appearance and merits. However, Sur City was a small city, and Nero did not have the ability of a single knight. After an afternoon of confidential discussions among the clerks, they all recommended Nero's husband, who was also Edward's temporary position as City Lord. When the two of them have children and come of age, their sons will succeed them.

Of course, everyone knew that one day, Edward would not be able to hand over power. However, no one was willing to think about such a long-term matter, especially when several of the clerks' safe boxes were hiding a generous gift from Edward. They were even more reluctant to consider too many details at this time.

Sur City was too far away from the heart of the empire. As far as the change of city lord was concerned, there was no need to submit a banquet to the empire. It could be handled by the local authorities themselves. What the Empire cared about was whether or not the annual taxes would be paid as scheduled. As for who would become the City Lord, the Emperor would not care. After all, the Bailey Empire was vast, and there were countless Knights and Lords. There were endless battles between the nobles. If the Emperor wanted to inquire about them one by one, he wouldn't even be able to find time to sleep.

That day, when Alan returned to Sur with a team of Baymonds, it was just in time for Edward's inauguration ceremony. Alan was curious to see how Edward had managed to take Isaac down without a single blade.

Two days later, in the study of the City Lord's Mansion, Alan shook his head and said, "So your hypnosis can still be used like this."

Edward stood by the window with his hands behind his back and said, "My hypnosis can only be used on agitated people, like you that day. My ability is completely useless. It can only be said that Mr. Ethan is too agitated and loses his calm when he hears that I want to take away his property."

It turned out that Edward had used hypnosis on Ethan that day. The Maritans were born with this ability. It caused Ethan's eyes to be filled with Edward, causing chaos in every inch. Edward had naturally arranged for the incident where the gun was wiped and accidentally fired early in the morning. He sent a soldier to join Matto's team and ended Ethan's life at the critical moment, so he did it straightforwardly.

"Then, Niru, what are you going to do with her?" Alan asked.

"Niro " Edward said, "I will take care of her. If if she really loves me, I will accept her."

From beginning to end, Edward only talked about taking care of her and accepting her, but never mentioned whether he loved her or not. Allen had no right to interfere and would not mention it in that regard. Edward smiled and said, "So, when are you going to accept the title, Knight Allen?"
