Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 465: Assassinate

Geordak's house is on the outskirts of the city, just a street away from the slums. It was hard to imagine that, as Raffles' son, he lived in such a remote place. The house was a two-storey building with a wooden structure and no garden. It was not much better than an ordinary house. There were no servants in the house, only Georg lived alone. When he was young, his mother lived with him. After his mother passed away, he lived here alone.

Even though he was far from Raffles' circle, he was not valued. However, Jordak had been able to live a peaceful life for ten years.

Now, this kind of life had left him. When he decided to compete for the position of Lord, he knew that he would never be able to return to the past. But he did not regret it, because he was unwilling to live a mediocre life. And he did not forget how Lafus' other wives hated their mother and son, much less the humiliation his brothers had inflicted on them.

So he went to see Ellen and borrowed an expert like Regis.

Originally, he planned to arrange some actions to arouse the killing intent of his brothers when he returned. After that, he struck back. He didn't expect Sera to be defeated. He actually roped in Daniel's support and ruthlessly killed two of his brothers. This saved Jordak a lot of effort. He only needed to deal with Sylar alone.

When he got home, he opened the door and saw Regis sitting in a corner, lethargic and dazzling. Beside him were Zhan Tie and Zhu Jue. Hearing the sound, Regis raised his head and protested, "When can I act? I'm going to die of boredom!"

"Don't worry, Lord Regess. I went to the City Lord's Mansion just now. I believe my brother will make a move soon." Jordak said with a smile.

"Is that so?" Regis jumped up and said excitedly, "That's great. I hope they can send some experts over. My hands are itchy."

"Lord Regess, please don't kill him. I'm still waiting for them to testify against Sylar."

"You want to extort a confession?" "I'm not good at that," he said, spreading his hands. "That's Belmond's domain."

"No, no, there's no need for you to make a move. I have such a person under me."

'"Oh," Regis said, "I can tell you're ready. That's good, but don't forget what you promised Ellen. If you go back on your word, don't blame me for being impolite."

"Of course not, Lord Allen is a worthy man to follow, and my future depends on him. How can I dig my own grave?" Jodak smiled.

"It's good that you understand. I'm going to bed. Wake me up in the evening."

At night, there were few pedestrians on the streets. In particular, the street where Geordak's house was located was even quieter. A drunken man staggered a few steps and fell under a street lamp beside him. He took out a wine jug. However, he poured it into his mouth and didn't drink a single drop of wine. So the wine jug was empty.

"Bastard!" The drunkard scolded and threw the wine jug down the street. The wine jug rolled twice and was suddenly crushed by one foot. When the drunkard heard this, he suddenly saw two tall figures. The two men were wearing armor. The armor was very special, unlike the knights of Dawn Castle.

"Hey, who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?" The drunkard stumbled over to them and pointed at one of them.

The man only silently pushed away his hand and continued forward. The drunkard followed relentlessly and shouted, "Damn, I'm calling you. Are you deaf? All of you, stop!"

His voice was loud, especially when it was quiet, almost the entire street could be heard. In a nearby room, someone looked out of the window. The two men frowned. One of them suddenly put his hand on the drunkard's shoulder and pushed him away like an old friend. The drunkard wanted to break free, but he discovered that the other party was exceptionally strong.

The man pushed him to the side of the road, then reached out to pinch his chin and pulled him to the side. A soft snap of the neck sounded, and the drunkard's head immediately tilted down, and blood flowed out of his nose and mouth. The man put him down, put on a posture of sleeping on the roadside, and then clapped his hands to leave. After taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked at the house.

The people behind the window hurriedly left to avoid trouble.

The two men smoothly arrived outside Geordak's house. One of them said in a deep voice, "That Sylar said, kill him, and then put on a suicidal look."

Another person sighed, "We are Lord Daniel's knights. It's disgusting that we should actually come here to do this kind of assassin's business."

"Alright, stop complaining. Hurry up and get to work. After completing the task, we can go back."

The two knights made a gesture. One of them headed for the front door, while the other climbed to the second floor, preventing Georg from escaping. They came to Georg's bedroom with ease, and one got up from the door, and the other went in through the window. The sound of people sleeping sounded in the bedroom. It seemed that Georg did not know that he was in a great calamity.

The knights exchanged glances and quietly pulled out their swords. They carefully chose a position where the swords would not refract to the moonlight. They took a breath and arrived at Georg's bedside. Then, he slowly raised his sword and aimed it at Jodak's chest and neck. Just as he was about to stab down, Jodak's quilt suddenly lifted up and a ball of azure saber light shot out from inside!

The aura of Origin Energy swept over like a tide, and the two knights were immediately fooled. They were experienced and knew that they could not retreat at this moment. All of them shouted loudly, simultaneously activating their Origin Energy, their swords swinging towards the saber light with all their might.

A series of metal and metal sounds rang out, and the Origin Energy flames in the bedroom continued to intertwine, causing the sword and sword to rub against each other, causing the sparks to bounce non-stop. Suddenly, the saber-light and sword-shadows rose and fell, and the two knights retreated as if they were drunk. There were many knife wounds on their hands, and one of them even had a crack in his armor. The crack was surrounded by dots of blue chips, like thin pieces of ice.

However, these ice fragments were constantly emitting some strange energy that was corroding the knight's body. The knight didn't know that this kind of energy was called radiation. It was the power of the Star Saber.

Regis stood on the bed with a knife in one hand and an iron chop on his shoulder in the other and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, but I haven't come yet. Don't you know that I'm disturbing people's dreams at this time?"

The knights quickly exchanged glances. The man on the left activated his Origin Energy with all his might. The sword hummed and the tip of the sword spat out strands of Origin Energy light. He shouted and stabbed at Regis with all his might. As soon as he moved, another knight immediately crashed into the window. Seeing that they were no match for Regis, the two of them immediately decided to cut off one of them and run away, so that they could report the situation.

Regis let out a muffled harrumph and the engraving floated. The world suddenly lit up in the eyes of the knights who rushed forward with their swords. In the invisible light, he didn't know how to continue handing out this sword. Just as he was hesitating for a moment, the back of his head received a heavy blow, and he immediately fainted.

Another knight had already knocked open the window, but he was still in midair when a cold and dazzling sword light drowned him. The sword light was like a galaxy floating in the air, illuminating the entire street.

"Eh?"

Sylar sat up and looked out of the window at the city under the night. In the direction where Geordak lived, a silver light seemed to stretch across the world, appearing under the curtain of night. However, the silver light quickly disappeared, and the night returned to calm.

"What are you doing?" A plump girl below reached out and wrapped her hands around Sylar's neck. "My lord is so brave. I want more."

Sera laughed, "See if I don't feed you a goblin."

He fell down again and continued to cultivate on the girl's body.

Jordak ran out of the house and stared blankly at the street. A straight crack appeared on the street. At the end of the crack was the corpse of a knight. A wound appeared on his back and chest. The wound through his body took his life. Regis shrugged his shoulders with his saber and sword, "I can't help it. I can't hold back my hand in excitement for a moment. But I left you a living person up there. Isn't it enough for you to be alone?"

When he activated the flash just now, Regis didn't forget to knock the knights unconscious with the back of his saber. He didn't ruin Jordak's plan. Jodak looked at Regis with a bitter smile and nodded, "One is enough. It's hard work, Lord Regis. You can go and rest first. I'll let someone handle this."

At this time, a few men ran out of the streets one after another. They were dressed differently and belonged to the kind of characters that could not be distinguished by sneaking into the crowd. They quietly dragged away the knight's corpse, and one of them stayed behind. He was an interrogation expert appointed by Jordak.

Regis had completed his mission and was happy to leave.

On this day, Sylar looked restless. Neither of the two knights he had sent to assassinate Geordak had returned. Sarah felt that something was amiss and sent people to the vicinity of Geordak's house to get information. The news was that there had been fierce fighting at Geordak's residence, but Geordak himself was fine because he had openly appeared on the streets. However, the two knights sent out were like stones sinking into the sea. They were not ordinary knights, but the elites of Daniel's subordinates. Each of them possessed the strength of Level 12!

It was no exaggeration to say that if Daniel hadn't lent him these two knights, Sylar wouldn't have been able to afford it alone. But now, the two of them had disappeared, and Sylar could smell a dangerous scent.

When it was dark, a group of guards barbarously rammed into his house. Sera screamed, "You bastards, do you know who I am? Who gave you the right to break into my house like this!"

"I."

The guards separated, but a clan elder walked in. He looked at Sylar expressionlessly and said, "Mr. Sylar, now we have ample evidence that you killed Sir Raffles' two sons. And last night, you tried to murder your younger brother Jodak. Now, the Clan Elders will give you a chance to defend yourself and come with me!"
