Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 464: Be Extremely Cruel and Merciless

The four people Carrett brought were all chosen by Daniel, which made the old man look at the gorgeous woman behind him. Luca was an assassin's agent and was quite famous in the Viscount's territory. Although Luca wasn't as large as Carrett's Adventurers Association in terms of scale, her killers were all elites, and her business wasn't limited to viscounts, so her penetration wasn't something Carrett could compare to.

Daniel looked at her and said, "I hope Miss Luca can surprise me."

"Of course." Luca gestured and took out a delicate cigarette gun, gently bit her lips and sucked it in. When she spat out the first cloud of smoke, a person wrapped in a thick cloak broke the smoke and arrived in front of Daniel.

"Ceglis, I guarantee that he is the most brilliant assassin." Luca was so simple that she could not introduce him any more, but she was full of confidence.

Daniel said "Oh", "Miss Luca, please be more specific."

Luca put down her cigarette gun and said indifferently, "Because this guy killed all three of the killers I was going to recommend to you."

Daniel was instantly interested. He looked at this mysterious person with a completely different gaze. The faces of Carrett's four subordinates changed slightly. After they quickly exchanged glances, the red-bearded man said coldly, "You pretentious fellow."

A strange dry laugh came from the cloak, and the man named Ceglis stomped his feet. The red-bearded man seemed to have sensed something and suddenly shouted loudly. He turned around and drew his sword. The two swords crossed, blocking a shadow blade that had pierced through the shadows on the ground.

After the shadow blade struck, it retracted. At this moment, Ceglis's voice sounded from within the cloak, "Not bad, big guy."

His tone was very strange. It sounded like someone who had just learned to speak. She was vague and could not pronounce clearly, so she could only barely understand what she meant. Daniel was delighted to see him show such a move. He reached out and said, "Welcome to join us, Mr. Segliss."

A hand was stretched out from the cloak, and the skin exposed in the air was strangely pale blue. Daniel's expression stiffened. Everyone else saw the strange color of his skin. Carrett couldn't help but shout, "Mutant!"

Daniel's hand stopped in mid-air and his eyes suddenly became sharp. "I heard that a mutant attacked a knight in Ark Harbor not long ago."

"That's right, it's me."

"Discovering mutants in the empire is no small matter. Tell me, why are you here as a killer? The Principality of Shadow is your place!" Daniel's aura was imposing, and the origin energy within the viscount's body had already begun to be mobilized, ready to give Ceglis a powerful blow at any time.

'"I've heard a little about what happened in the Viscount's territory recently," said Ceglis, unhurriedly. "You've gathered so many killers for fear of dealing with Sir Allen, haven't you? What a coincidence, I want to deal with him too. That's why I'm here."

"What's the grudge between you and Alan?"

"Sorry, this is a private matter."

Daniel slowly relaxed. "Well, since our goals are the same, I'll pretend I didn't see you. But after the mission, I don't want to see you again."

Ceglis bowed stiffly to Daniel. "Of course, I won't make things difficult for you, my lord."

The smile in his eyes made Daniel feel a little uncomfortable. He snorted and looked at the others. "Like this gentleman said, I'm going to deal with Sir Allen. That's right, the one who killed Drouf. He's a real expert, and I need you to be careful. You only have one chance against that kind of person."

"We know, my lord. All you need to do is tell us, where is that brat?" Red Beard said murderously.

Daniel said in a deep voice, "He is in Finlier City now. You can leave tomorrow!"

Adjacent to the Hungry Wolf Territory was the territory of Dawn Castle. There was a river between the two territories. This river was a branch of the Sumara River, and it also became the natural boundary between the two knight territories. Relatively speaking, the territory of Dawn Castle was mostly plain landform, fertile soil and water, which was conducive to farming. This territory produced about 70% of the total grain of the Viscount every year, so it was also known as the "granary".

Although the name of Dawn Castle contained the word "castle", there was no castle in the city. There were only ruins of a castle that had been razed. A hundred years ago, there was indeed a tall and gloomy castle here. The lords of the castle ruled this territory with cruel methods, causing the people to suffer greatly and finally a war broke out.

Raffles' ancestors stood out in this war. In the end, the Lords were killed and the castle was knocked down. Only then did the war come to an end. In order to appease the people, the empire chose to ignore the burned lord and chose the ancestor of Raffles as the new lord, granting him a title. Thus, the Lafus Family had managed this territory for generations, and had made it vibrant with vitality.

Because of that war, the civilians saw the dawn of hope, so the later generations officially named this city that was rebuilt in the flames of war Dawn Castle.

Today, the ruins of the castle are a monumental landmark through which the ancestors of Raffles wished to warn their descendants not to follow the same path. Not far from the ruins was the City Lord's Mansion of Dawn Castle. At this moment, the elders of the Lafus Family were all present in the meeting room of the mansion. They sat at the conference table and looked at the young man standing in the middle of the conference room.

The young man looked somewhat similar to Raffles. He was Sera, Raffles' second son. Sera looked around and shouted, "Elders, I have gathered all of you today in the hope that you will acknowledge the fact that I will inherit my father's title and this territory!"

A gray-haired elder coughed softly and said, "Sarah, your big brother and third brother died violently in a row for several days. The reason is still under investigation. We cannot make this decision so easily until we have investigated it clearly."

Sera snorted coldly, "What's there to investigate? Besides, even if you investigate it clearly, can the two of them still survive? The current situation is that I am the only successor. Even if you are unwilling to accept it, this is the truth!"

"Sylar, do you dare to swear to the souls of your ancestors that you didn't do those two things?" Another elder slapped the table. He was originally the eldest son who supported Raffles. However, the other party's sudden death caused their original plan to be in vain.

Sera laughed and said, "Why not? The heroic spirits of my ancestors are here. I swear that I didn't kill my two brothers!"

"You" The elder was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

Actually, there was no need to deliberately investigate. Which Elder Council didn't know that Lafus' two sons were Sylar's murderous hands. Moreover, Sylar had brought two Daniel guards back. Obviously, the viscount wanted to interfere in the transfer of power in Dawn Castle. The elders didn't want Dawn Castle to split up, so they used the investigation as an excuse to drag Sylar along.

Sera put away her laughter and said coldly, "Alright, you old bastards, don't waste any more effort. I'll give you three days. In three days, I want to see the authorization document. Otherwise, I don't mind changing the group of elders. There are plenty of people who want to enter this meeting room!"

This was a blatant threat, but the council of elders, which lacked the support of force, could do nothing about it.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter sounded from outside. Then, the door was pushed open and a young man about Sylar's age walked in. He applauded, "Sylar, you are really impressive, but don't forget, I also have the right to inherit."

"Jordak!" Sera narrowed her eyes and said, "You bitch, there's no place for you to talk. Get out of here!"

"That's not up to you." As if he hadn't heard his insults, Jordak gracefully circled around and said to the elders on the table, "Honored elders, although my mother is of low birth." But there is no doubt that my body is also flowing with my father's blood, so I also have the right to inherit. "I hope that the elders can treat this fairly so that the Lord's position will not fall on those who are not qualified!"

"Who do you think is not qualified?" Sera sneered, "At least I'm a hundred times more noble than you. You're the one who doesn't have the qualifications!"

"But at least I didn't murder my own brother."

"What a joke! What evidence do you have? If you don't have it, it's dog blood spraying out!"

"Silence!" The oldest elder knocked on the table and said, "As Geordak said, he also has the right to inherit. So Sarah, you're not the only one. Now all of you go out and we'll make our own decision when we get to the bottom of this."

Hen Hen glanced at Jordak and Sylar slammed the door. Jodak smiled and was about to leave when the old elder called out to him, "Sera is ruthless. You have to be careful. But at a time like this, your courage to stand up and compete with him is truly commendable."

"Thank you, Miao Zan." Jordak bowed to the elder and left.

'"Damn it, why didn't I think there was such a bitch as Geordak? I was only one step away from jumping out of this clown. Bastard, if you deliver yourself to me, then you can die. All of you die! Only I can inherit everything from my father, I am Sir Sylar!" Sarah shouted hysterically as she returned to her residence.

He pulled the silver bell on the table, and a moment later, two steady-breathing guards walked in. They were the warriors that Daniel had lent Sylar. They possessed the strength of Level 12 and were capable of sweeping through all obstacles in this territory that lacked the support of experts.

Sera looked at them and said in a deep voice, "I want a person's life."

"May I ask who it is?"

"A guy named Jodak, he's my last brother. Kill him, and no one will be able to stop me and Lord Daniel's plan!"
