Previously, in order to squeeze out a few particularly important people, Wyft did not even hesitate to use assassination methods. Yodi knew a little, and knew that the young woman who accompanied Wyft was actually a killer. She was in charge of the assassination targets. Seeing her docile face, she thought that she was a harmless sheep, but who knew what kind of ferocious thing was draped under the sheepskin.
Yodi didn't want to uncover the sheepskin. He lowered his head humbly and answered Wyft, but he didn't dare to look at the woman. In fact, the woman used the angle to conceal her thigh and deliberately rubbed it against him. She was so obviously teasing that Yodi was even more afraid. The woman finally chuckled and let go of this boring merchant. At this moment, Wyft saw Bankin again and waved at the Governor of Security. The woman took the opportunity to whisper in Yodi's ear, "Trash."
Yodi dared not say anything, and in the end, he could only smile bitterly.
Bankin walked over with an angry expression.
Wyft narrowed his eyes and smiled, "What's wrong, old friend? You have to be happy tonight. Why do you have a bitter face?"
Bankin stopped a waiter who was passing by and drank three glasses of wine in a row. He exhaled and said, "That lord is so mighty that he has cut down the flag of the City Guard Barracks. Our chief was beaten to the point of vomiting blood. I'm afraid he won't be able to recover for ten days and a half months. "
This was naturally the news he had received afterwards.
Wyft's face flashed with surprise, and then he revealed a deep thought. Finally, he said with relief, "That lord is warning us."
Bankin looked at the old man in confusion.
"Judging from this lord's current actions, he should be selling our accounts. Otherwise, what we'll be waiting for tonight won't be a banquet, but that lord's private army. But obviously, he wants to show us his might, so he let someone smash the barracks. This lord is young, but his methods are shrewd and ruthless. I'll give you a stick first, and then I'll give you a piece of candy. Interesting, interesting. "
Bankin didn't find it interesting. After such a commotion, it would definitely take him a lot of effort to appease the city guards.
At this moment, a soft cry sounded from the venue. Bankin raised his head and saw that the lord had arrived.
Wyft picked up a glass of wine and smiled at Bankin and Eudy, "Let's go. It's time to curry favor with that lord."
The first to enter the venue was Allen, Baron Oz on his right, and Lola, who had just returned from the barracks with a murderous aura, was on his left. It was just that Lola did not carry a sword, but when she glared at them with her wild eyes, the men who were staring at her face immediately shrank back like mice meeting a cat. Behind the two of them were five Azure Dragon Knight. However, they wore cloaks and masks, and walked at the back, so they didn't attract too much attention. People would only think of them as Allen's personal guards. Who would have thought that the Naga Clan's palace guards would become Allen's guards?
At this time, Allen was already surrounded by the nobles in the city. Even Wyft had spent a lot of effort squeezing out of the crowd. This was all thanks to the docile female companion beside him, who was actually a killer. From time to time, he would "squeeze" through the crowd with ingenious strength, otherwise Wyft would not be able to guarantee that he would not be able to enter at the back.
"Lord Allen!" Wyft piled up a smile on his face. The usual haze on his face disappeared under the lights in the room. There was only excitement on his face, and he was almost in tears. Wyft shouted, "It is the fortune of our city that Lord has come to Fenrir City for the second time. If it weren't for Lord, there wouldn't be today's Radiant Ridge, much less our current good days. So I suggest that everyone give Lord Allen a toast! "
Wyft's flattery was extremely blatant. Many people cursed him for being shameless, but they could only raise their glasses in agreement. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Allen waved his hands gently, signaling for the crowd to be quiet. Then, he looked up and down at Wyft and smiled meaningfully, "Who is this gentleman?"
The crowd fell silent.
Wyft's face was filled with embarrassment. He had been acting for a long time, and he looked like "I don't know you". Wasn't this a warm face sticking to someone else's cold butt? Wyft thought about it a thousand times, but he never thought that it would be like this. He was furious in his heart. He didn't want this lord to come to Fenrir City for a whole day without knowing the existence of such a person.
The nobles below were also stunned, and some of them almost laughed out loud. Fortunately, he covered his mouth in time. Otherwise, he would have angered Wyft to death.
Oz, who was standing on Allen's right, said coldly, "Sir, this is Mr. Wyft. He is still my elder. "
"Oh?" Allen narrowed his eyes and asked with a smile, "Just now, this gentleman said that I had come twice. In other words, Mr. Wyft should have been in Fenrir City half a year ago when I forced my troops into it. It would be strange if it was Oz's elder again. Why didn't I see Mr. Wyft in this hall back then? "
Wyft was speechless for a moment. He couldn't say that I was so scared at that time. If I could escape from the city, I would have escaped long ago. How could I meet you again?
Allen asked again, "Could it be that Mr. Wyft was sick at that time?"
Seeing Allen throw out this step, Wyft hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes. I was indeed seriously ill at that time. Otherwise, even if I crawled, I would have crawled to see my lord."
Allen laughed and said to an old man who had flattered to the point of inserting needles, "Mr. Wyft's flattery is indeed first-rate. Oh, I remember now. When I came, someone seemed to have told me that a fellow named Wyft had been busy taking over our Sir Oz's power for the past six months. Could it be that Wyft is you? "
The corner of Wyft's mouth twitched, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. Even if he was an idiot, he could tell that Allen's tone was different. Wyft said coldly, "What does my lord mean?"
"Eh, they also said that Wyft is the smartest man in Fenrir City. When Duruf was alive, the gentleman chose to retire. Later, when I arrived at the gates of the city, Mr. Wyft, as a great noble of Fenrir City, was more willing to bury himself as a mole to avoid the calamity of facing the sword. Only when Baron Oz took office did the mole crawl out. What about buying people's hearts, eliminating dissidents, and taking over Sir's power? Just a little bit more, and Fenrir City will change hands. " Allen exaggerated for a while before asking Wyft with a smile, "Since you're so smart, why don't you guess what I mean?"
The music in the hall disappeared at some point. The band quietly left the hall. It was unknown who had closed the door, but no one in the hall could leave unless they jumped out of the window. At this time, even a stupid person could feel that there was no atmosphere of a banquet tonight. It was clear that the lord had come to question him.
Wyft rolled his eyes. At this moment, the situation was completely beyond his expectations. He could no longer figure out what Allen was going to do. He wanted to say a few more words, but Allen waved his hand and retreated a little. "Don't worry, Baron Oz still has something to say to you. Listen to what our baron has to say."
Allen retreated and Oz moved forward, becoming the focus of the room. Wyft looked at the boy coldly, looking at a lamb born of a wolf. He didn't believe that this docile lamb would dare to say anything to him. Wyft still looked at Oz coldly as usual. Usually, the boy would lower his head and avoid his gaze when he came into contact with it. But tonight, he resolutely looked her in the eyes, and then said in a slightly slower tone, "Tonight, I thought you wouldn't dare to come, but you came. Very good, Wyft. I don't know, you're a commoner. Why are you attending this banquet? "
Wyft was stunned.
The others revealed thoughtful expressions. Some of them came to a sudden realization, while others frowned.
Oz revealed his trump card for everyone, "You probably didn't take a good look at the invitation letter. Otherwise, you would have discovered that the invitation letter was titled 'Sincerely Inviting All Levels of Officials'. That's the last chance I'll give you. If you can understand the meaning of this and choose to leave, then I'll pretend that I didn't notice you and let you go. In that case, tonight would be a real dusty banquet. But if you come, it means something different. "
"Wyft, you resigned from your position when my father was in power. But when you received the invitation letter, you didn't find anything. You probably thought of yourself as the true master of Fenrir City in the past six months, right? "
"In the past six months, you have manipulated the officialdom, alienated and bribed, and even assassinated officials in our city in order to achieve your goal of stealing the sky and changing the sun." Oz emphasized, "I won't talk about anything else here. Just the assassination of an official is a capital crime according to the empire's constitution! "
Wyft said coldly, "Sir Oz, you can't splash this dirty water. Do you have any evidence?"
"I do!" Oz raised his hand and clapped lightly. The door to the hall behind him opened and a few people filed in. Jeff was walking at the front. Seeing Wyft's eyes turn red, he rushed forward and raised his fist to beat someone up, but was stopped by a Sea Dragon Knight.
Allen said indifferently, "Don't be in a hurry to make a move, Captain Jeff."
Jeff panted heavily and glared at the old man. He half-knelt down and said to Oz, "Lord Oz, Wyft came looking for me. If I didn't betray my lord by joining him, I wouldn't have agreed. This old thing ordered someone to assassinate me the next night. If it weren't for Lord Edward's arrangements, Jeff wouldn't be able to stand here now! "
Wyft couldn't hide the shock on his face. He glared at his female companion and said anxiously in a voice that they could only hear, "Didn't you say they were all dead? Why are they all standing here alive now?"
The woman was also at a loss for what to do.
Then, the others knelt down one by one and testified against Wyft. The officials in the hall and the nobles in the city began to retreat, so as not to stand too close to Wyft, as if they were covered in blood.
Wyft didn't know if he was angry or afraid. His entire body trembled and he shouted, "One-sided words, these are all one-sided words!"
Allen picked up a piece of cake and threw it into his mouth. As he ate, he said, "I told you that this old fox wouldn't give in so easily. Oz, don't hide it anymore. Call that man in."
Oz nodded and gestured. The door to the hall opened again and a person walked in from outside.
A person who should never have appeared here!
