To Allen's surprise, Yopuni did not fly into a rage out of humiliation, nor did he launch an attack. He smiled bitterly as if he had already predicted the answer, but he still said gracefully, "Then Lord Allen, please agree to one of my requests."
"Apart from not letting you go, I can promise you everything else." Allen nodded.
"I just want a chance to end my own life." Yopuni flipped his hand and a dagger appeared in his palm. He looked at Remington and said, "I don't want to die at the hands of a mad dog."
Remington laughed sinisterly.
Allen nodded, "I'll watch. Help yourself."
"Thank you very much." Yopuni bowed and took a deep breath. The dagger turned upside down and the tip of the dagger aimed at his chest with a brilliant smile. He suddenly exerted his strength and pressed down on the dagger, causing blood to seep out of his chest. He gritted his teeth and pushed again. The dagger had no handle, and Yopuni's entire body trembled. He didn't know whether to laugh or to be angry. He just glared at Remington and said, "I'll wait for you in hell."
He pulled out the dagger again, and blood gushed out like a spring. He laughed heartily and suddenly fell silent. He fell to the ground in a pool of blood.
Remington's chest rose and fell. The changes tonight were too great. Even though he was mentally prepared, he still felt chaotic. At this moment, Allen walked over and turned Yopuni's body over. Blood was still slowly gushing out of his chest. Yopuni's face was already pale and green, and he was not breathing. Ellen smiled and took out the devil's praise from behind his waist. He whispered in his ear, "I'm a cautious person. I don't know if you're really dead or pretending to be dead." In short, it's always right to prevent accidents. "
He raised his hand and the knife fell.
When Remington saw the dagger in Allen's hand pierce into Yopuni's chest, his big brother's fingers twitched, and then he stopped moving. Allen put away the dagger. No matter what, Yopuni was dead. Obtaining a trace of blood essence from the devil's praise was the best evidence. The Origin Tool wouldn't lie. Allen didn't care what Yopuni had been calculating before. After all, with this slash, everything in this world had nothing to do with him anymore.
Looking at Yopuni, Remington's Adam's apple slid up and down. Then he said to Allen, "Parson ran away. I didn't let him go. Someone saved him."
"Oh, Earl Rackett still has a death soldier beside him?"
"I'm not sure about that, but it doesn't matter. I'll do my best to find this guy."
Allen shook his head. "There's no hurry. Young Master Parson has a crush on that singer named Ollie. Even if he wants to leave the city, he will most likely go to Ollie. You can use this songstress to lure Young Master Parsons out. But before that, there is another thing that you need to do personally. If you succeed, you can wash away your previous image and pave the way for taking over Mountain City. "
"I'll listen to you, my lord." Remington smiled sinisterly.
"Follow me."
The explosion and collapse of Coiling Snake Mountain Road awakened the residents of nearby mountain cities, and the lights that had been extinguished lit up one by one in the middle of the night. Some residents boldly ran out of their houses to see what was going on, but apart from seeing the darkness of the mountain path, they couldn't see anything. On the contrary, the Mountain City Guards who had been urged to rush home, and a few of them even suffered a few kicks. Normally, Hilo, who was in charge of the army, would definitely teach the soldiers who kicked him a lesson, but now he was not in the mood.
Hilo, who was originally in the barracks, immediately led a troop over when he received news that Coiling Snake Mountain Road had been attacked. When he stood at the entrance of Coiling Snake Mountain Road, he frowned as he looked at the exploded sentry post and the two charcoal-like corks that were left. Seeing the ravine that Allen had blasted out with a bolt of lightning, Hilo sucked in a breath of cold air.
Not long after, a soldier at the foot of the mountain path reported the discovery of Earl Rackett's corpse, and the Guild Leader's mood fell to the bottom. Just as he was about to bypass the ravine and head to the City Lord's Mansion, a figure appeared on the mountain path. As the figure approached, Hilo could see that it was Remington.
What made him feel strange was that Remington was actually dressed in armor with a solemn expression.
"Young Master Remington, what's going on?" Hilo asked with a frown.
Remington shouted, "It was the outsiders of the Shadow Duchy who attacked the City Lord's Mansion. They also killed my father and big brother, and even Parson was taken away." Commander Hilo, don't you know what's been hidden in that independent camp in the barracks for the past six months? That place is filled with filth. No matter who brought it in, today I will clean that place up in place of my dead father and brother! "
"Mountain City is the empire's Mountain City. I swear in the name of the future Mountain City Lord that there will not be any traces of outsider activity in Mountain City!" Remington changed his usual image of a hedonistic young master and shouted righteously, "Who's coming with me?"
He pointed his sword at the distant barracks.
The soldiers looked at each other, and Hilo knew that the independent camp was set up for the outsider soldiers that Earl Rackett had recruited himself. Hilo had offended the count for this camp, and he had been almost idle for the past six months. The soldiers in the barracks also vaguely knew some inside information, but no one dared to talk about it because the gag order was suppressed level by level.
Now that the count's own son had called it out, Hilo felt that it was extremely ironic. Moreover, from Remington's tone, it was clear that he was going to take over Mountain City. Thinking about it, it wasn't surprising. After all, if the count and Yopuni were dead, and Parson was missing, then the only one who was qualified to inherit Mountain City was Remington. However, was the inside story that simple?
Hilo didn't want to think about it any further. Just because he disdained those conspiracies didn't mean that he didn't know the powerful relationships inside. Especially when it came to the transfer of power, he wasn't a member of the Remington family. It was better not to interfere in such matters.
At this moment, Remington looked at him.
How could Hilo not understand? He immediately shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Didn't you hear Young Master's words? Prepare a horse for Young Master!"
Remington nodded in satisfaction.
Allen saw all of this clearly from the Lord's Mansion. Everything was going according to plan.
Parson was thrown onto the hard and cold ground, and he hurriedly removed the sheets covering his body. After a moment, his gaze adapted to the current environment and he could clearly see that this was a narrow and dark room. The walls were made of wood, and a single bed and a few tables and chairs were the only furnishings in the room. Then he saw a figure. The man who had brought him out of the Lord's Mansion was standing in front of him, but the part above his chest was hidden in the shadows of the room.
Parson couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I won't hurt you. You just need to know that. "The man said in an indifferent tone.
Only then did Parson remember the ferocious appearance of Remington wanting to kill him in the bedroom at home. He said in a trembling voice, "Remington wants to kill me. No, I can't stay in Mountain City any longer. I have to leave this place."
He was going to get up.
A short blade without a handle suddenly appeared between the fingers of his palm that was propped up on the ground. The short blade could be nailed to his palm a little further. Parson's entire body trembled as he heard the man in front of him say, "If you go out now, I guarantee that Remington will arrest you immediately. Then you will wait to die in some secret corner and your corpse will become fertilizer for some flowers and plants."
Parson's face turned pale.
The man continued, "Remington has probably launched a citywide search for you, so this is the only safe place right now. If you don't want to die, stay here obediently. I don't want to go through so much trouble to save you and let Remington take advantage of you. If that's the case, I might as well kill you here and save myself some trouble. "
"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving." Parson thought for a moment and begged, "Can you bring Ollie here as well? Remington will definitely do something to her."
"You also know that Remington will attack your beloved singer, so you should know that if I bring Ollie here, Remington will be able to touch this place. Young Master Parson, the world outside is already turning upside down. Please don't think about a singer at this time. If you still want to live, if you want to take back what belongs to you, then listen to my advice. "
"Snatch? How? " Parson smiled bitterly, "Remington will kill me if he finds me. Besides, father is dead now. If something happens to Yopuni, Remington will definitely take over Mountain City. Oh, that's why he wants to kill me, right? Then did he find the killer who attacked the City Lord's Mansion tonight? "
"Looks like you're not too stupid. That's right, that's about it." The man said indifferently, "Now let me ask you, do you want to return to the City Lord's Mansion as the Lord of Mountain City?"
A complicated expression surged in Parson's eyes. The man did not urge him to think carefully. Parson didn't hesitate for too long. A moment later, he gritted his teeth and said, "Of course I want to. If Remington wants to kill me, then I'll kill him. As long as I have that strength! "
"As long as you have that thought, I will give you that strength."
Parson was puzzled. "Who are you? Why do you want to help me like this? "
"I can't tell you my identity. It's for your own good. What I can tell you is that Earl Rackett ordered it. Of his three sons, you are the one he is most worried about. Originally, it was just a precautionary arrangement, but I didn't expect it to be used tonight. Let's do this first. Have a good rest. Someone will come into contact with you. Young Master Parson, you don't know what kind of power the count has left you. "The man left the room.
Belmore closed the door and walked through a long corridor into the bright hall. Inside the hall, Spraiden was already waiting. Belmore nodded to him and said, "Young Master Parson, I'll leave it to you. Follow the plan."
"I know what to do," Spraiden said with a smile.
