Chapter 1932: How Dare You, Sean

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Mag already knew that he couldn’t kill Sean tonight before he went to the city lord’s castle.

It was the eve of the peace meeting now, and the giant dragons had chosen peace unexpectedly. With Chaos City’s mediation, the goblins, dwarves, and the orcs with the Falk Tribe in the lead would choose to continue to sign the peace treaty.

Making Andre sign the peace accord and maintain another 100 years of peace for the Norland Continent was the most important issue now.

Slicing away Josh’s ear was still within Andre’s tolerance. He could even still pretend nothing had happened and send Mag an invitation.

However, if Sean—who was representing the Roth Empire for the peace negotiation—died in Chaos City, then Andre would have a good cause to start the war.

The 1,000,000 knights of the Roth Empire would ride southwards, and their first target would be Chaos City.

Mag couldn’t let the millions of innocent Chaos City’s civilians get ravaged by war because of him. Even if he wanted to kill Sean, he had to do it beyond Chaos City, removing Chaos City from the incident completely.

As for that arm, it was just a little interest that Mag collected in advance.

He wanted Sean and everyone to know that was a price to pay for people who tried to antagonize him, even if he was the first prince of the Roth Empire.

“Leader, that is the retreat signal!”

“Let’s go, get out of the city now!”

“But that child could be in there…”

“Obey the orders!”

“Yes!”New chapters are published on Noᴠel Fɪre.net

In Chaos City, the dark figures saw the dark red skull that exploded above the city lord’s castle. They gave up on their target, and began to evacuate out of the city.

To the members of Black Eagle Team, who were well-versed in stalking, even though the Chaos City’s walls were high, it wasn’t difficult for them to leave by scaling over the walls as long as they grasped the Gray Temple’s patrol teams’ patterns.

On the city wall, the Gray Temple’s patrol team had just left when a flying claw hooked onto the wall, and five men in black scaled up the dozens of meters high city by grabbing the ropes. Then, they hooked the claws onto the other side of the wall and scaled down.

Crack!

With a crash of thunder, a silver flash of lightning crashed down under all the black-robed figures’ terrified gaze.

The ropes instantly broke, and before they could even scream, they were turned into burnt crisps by the lightning. They fell and landed in pieces.

“Why was there thunder out of nowhere?” A member of the Gray Temple’s patrol team looked around in befuddlement.

“Did you hear anything weird during the thunder just now?” someone asked softly.

“No. Wasn’t that thunder simply a little loud?”

The patrol team members were in a discussion. They didn’t notice a giant figure in the sky had secretly gilded over the city in the cover of the dark night.

That night, a series of thunder sounded in Chaos City.

The lightning flashed beyond the city, causing everyone to have a restless and unsettled sleep.

The city lord’s castle, in a room.

Sean listened to those roaring thunders, and clenched the fist of his remaining arm. His pale face looked even worse as he said through clenched teeth, “Damned Alex!!!”

It could be foreseen that the Black Eagle that he had painstakingly nurtured for years was going to be completely eliminated tonight.

That was his great reliance to compete for the throne. Alex eliminating them was equivalent to chopping off another arm of his. How could he not be furious!

Mag flicked a glance at the last burnt corpse, on which fire was slowly diminishing, patted Ah Zi’s back, and said, “Let’s go. We should return now.”

Ah Zi flapped its wings, and soared into the clouds before returning to the city. It let Mag down in a deserted part of Aden Square. It rubbed its head against Mag coyly, and flew back to the textile factory after Mag promised to bring it good food tomorrow.

Mag returned to the restaurant.

Irina was already in the restaurant. She turned to Mag, who had just entered, and said, “I have already sent the children to the textile factory. There will be people taking care of them.”

Mag removed his mask, and said, “I didn’t kill Sean. I only cut off one of his arms, and killed all those men in black.”

“Mm-hmm. That’s equivalent to cutting off both of his arms. It can be considered as an interest.” Irina nodded, and smilingly said, “That’s quite good. I was still worried you would kill him too fast and easily, and I wouldn’t even get a chance to act. Next time, let’s charge to Rodu straight away, and get back at that father-and-sons trio once and for all.”

“Alright.” Mag nodded with a smile too.

“Let’s rest early.”

The city lord’s castle.

Michael’s study was still brightly lit. He had just received a few urgent reports on his desk.

One of the reports was regarding the raging thunders beyond Chaos City. The Gray Temple’s patrol teams found hundreds of charred bodies that were suspected to have been struck by the lightning. Due to the severe burns, they couldn’t be identified.

There was another report regarding a few brutal murders in the city tonight. Many couples were found dead in their homes, and they all had a common feature: they were all married couples consisting of an elf and a human with a three to four years old half-elf daughter. The half-elf daughters were all missing from the murder scene.

Combined with Alex’s earlier sudden raging appearance at the city lord’s castle, and the fact that he almost killed Sean, Michael already had a rough judgement.

“Bastard!”

Michael shattered the desk with a slap. He was so furious that he was trembling. He grabbed the longsword hanging on the wall, and prepared to go out.

“My Lord, what are you doing?” Dicus quickly asked.

“Killing Sean, that bastard!” Michael said gravely.

“Calm down, My Lord. What’s going on? You were just asking Alex to be magnanimous.” Dicus quickly stopped him. He was afraid Michael might do something foolish in the heat of the moment.

“If I’d known earlier that Sean had been sending people to murder the common people in Chaos City without any regards, I wouldn’t have stopped Alex, I would’ve even stabbed him and given him two holes with my sword,” Michael said furiously.

“Are you saying that Sean instigated the murders tonight?” Dicus was shocked to hear that. He soon sorted out what happened, and he looked equally furious. However, he still tried to calm Michael down. “My Lord, Lord Alex has already cut off Sean’s arm, and killed those murderers to avenge those innocent residents who died. If you go to kill Sean now, the Roth Empire will definitely send its troops southwards. You have to look at the big picture on the eve of the peace meeting now.”

Michael looked at Dicus silently for a while before tossing his longsword to the floor, and gravely said, “Let the Gray Temple investigate this matter. We have to find absolute evidence to prove that Sean has instigated this matter. We’re not going to let him leave Chaos City easily after he has recklessly killed Chaos City’s residents at will. There will be no difference even if he is a prince of the Roth Empire!”

“Yes!” Dicus replied solemnly, and strode away.

Michael looked towards the guests’ accommodation, and coldly said, “How dare you, Sean. If Andre didn’t teach you how to be a human, I, Michael, will teach you that..”
