Zhang Tie's act of donating porridge in the refugee camp didn't arouse people's doubt about his other motives. Celebrities like Leeb always looked brilliant even though they had ulcers on their heads and pus on their soles. Leeb would attend charity auctions and charity activities such as supporting orphanages several times a year. This was the rule of the game in his circle.
By donating porridge to Zhang Tie, people thought that Leeb was trying to eliminate the negative influence and bad gossips caused by the murderer "Peter" outside Gold Coin Pub a couple of days ago.
The corpses of Rein and his mistress were discovered by Rein's lackeys on the same morning. Of course, "Peter" was responsible for it.
"Peter" seemed to have escaped out of Upton City last night. "Leeb flashed away in a flash. Leeb flashed away.
/
All the people across Upton who cared about this event were waiting for the powerhouses dispatched by Leeb to bring back Peter's head. However, nobody knew that "Peter" had already become Leeb.
In the same morning, Zhang Tie had his steward evacuate all the women of Leeb in Upton.
Leeb never explained his reasons to his subordinates. Due to his temperamental temperament and terrifying and insidious means, his subordinates dared not ask him why he did that. As for those women of Leeb, Zhang Tie didn't know why. As Leeb's women met Zhang Tie, they became the luckiest batch among all the women of Leeb. Zhang Tie had the steward give 1,000 gold coins to each of those women and burn their indentures in front of them. After that, he arranged an airship to leave Upton on the same day and sent those women to the south so that they could regain their freedom.
Of course, it was very difficult for others to get a cabin on the airship; however, it was just a piece of cake for Leeb.
Because of the secret event that happened in the villa last night, the steward dared not ask Zhang Tie about it. The steward felt that there might be some unknown reason between the two events.
...
"Young master, I've arranged those women to leave!" Those women have been arranged to leave! "After dealing with all the affairs, the steward came to Zhang Tie's room respectfully to report the result.
In front of Leeb, the steward even dared not raise his head to look at Leeb's face; instead, he just lowered his head.
"Very good!" Zhang Tie nodded as he revealed a smile. At the same time, his eyes became as deep as a black hole. Even his voice carried an irresistible power, "Raise your head and look into my eyes!"
The butler heard this. She raised her head and looked into Zhang Tie's eyes. Closely after that, she was immersed in Zhang Tie's profound eyes. Not until more than ten seconds later did Zhang Tie move his eyes away. The steward found that he was staring at the young master. Only then did he hurriedly lower his head in fright. Cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead. He felt strange. Ah. How did he suddenly become so daring to stare at the Young Master? If he was unhappy, he was afraid that he would end up …
The steward slightly quivered. Even the steward himself didn't realize that his fear towards "Leeb" had increased a lot after over 10 seconds.
"Make the arrangements, I want to return to the Hunting Castle!"
"Yes!"
...
Seeing the steward off, Zhang Tie revealed a smile. Just now, he had already erased the steward's memory of meeting him in the study room and destroying the corpses. Additionally, he planted a soul seed in the steward's consciousness. The soul seed had already sprouted silently in the steward's consciousness.
Two days later, the steward would dismiss all the servants and guards in this villa in his own name. After that, he would silently escape to the south and live a new life. Of course, for that steward, it was not the order of others, but his own "conscience" and "awareness". Two days later, this steward would find that he could not stand Leeb anymore. He would feel that being on Leeb's side was full of danger. He would feel that he could not complete those tasks anymore. In order to protect himself, he would exert an unprecedented "courage" to escape from Leeb the Demon King and the Free Commercial Federation. After that, he would find a place where nobody knew him and treat this period of time on Leeb's side as a nightmare. He would never mention it to others and start a new life.
This was the terror of "Soul Forbidden Skill", which could change one's consciousness and behavior unconsciously.
As a steward of Leeb, Zhang Tie was almost 100% sure that if Upton City was not destroyed by the demon corps after 3 days, as long as Angus Clan's identity as a member of Three-eye Association was exposed, this steward would definitely be caught and interrogated about all the information about Leeb. 'However, the only loophole that could expose my identity is the steward's memory after contacting with me last night. ' As long as the steward described the looks of the two people of Arthur Clan and said that Zhang Tie had killed the two people of Arthur Clan, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of others.
Commoners might not be able to judge anything; however, many people could completely restore the looks of the two people of Arthur Clan according to the steward's oral description and memory. Actually, it was not difficult for them to confirm their identities based on the looks of the two people. As long as they confirmed that the two people of Arthur Clan also belonged to Three-eye Association, the biggest question would come — — why would Leeb of Angus Clan, a clan of Three-eye Association, kill the two people of Arthur Clan, a clan of Three-eye Association at such a critical moment? Such a conflict was strictly forbidden in Three-eye Association. Almost nobody dared disobey it. 'What's the reason behind it? '
It's already very absurd that I could get the intelligence that demons are going to raid Upton City 3 days later. How did I get such an absurd intelligence? Zhang Tie was afraid that the elders of Huaiyuan Palace would associate this event with me. "Zhang Tie was afraid that the elders of Huaiyuan Palace would associate this event with me.
Even if the elders of Huaiyuan Palace didn't think so, as long as this intelligence was known by Three-eye Association, more troublesome things would come — — how did I know the information of the two people of Arthur Clan when the two people of Arthur Clan had been killed? How did I know the identification code of the remote-sensing crystal and send back the false intelligence?
As long as the two questions combined, Zhang Tie's identity and many secrets would be exposed.
This was the only loophole that Zhang Tie had in Upton City.
Actually, the simplest way to cover this loophole was to kill the steward without demur.
However, Zhang Tie really couldn't do that. Because he knew that the steward was actually an innocent commoner who lived on Leeb's side. Zhang Tie really couldn't raise his butcher's knife to an innocent commoner who lived on Leeb's side for the sake of living on Leeb's side.
At the request of Leeb, the most "excessive" thing that this steward did was to help Leeb deal with the corpse using Corpse Dissolving Water. Perhaps this behavior was not noble; however, in this world, few commoners could say no to terror under the terrifying pressure.
If Zhang Tie was still that common teenager in Blackhot City, if there was no holy battle, if the castellan dispatched by Norman Empire to Blackhot City was Leeb, would Zhang Tie have the courage to resist the castellan?
Zhang Tie's answer was no.
If he could not do it, he would not ask others to do it. Therefore, Zhang Tie didn't choose to cover this loophole in the simplest way; instead, he changed a method and spared the steward's life.
Many people in this villa didn't know that their fates had changed greatly in such a short time.
Zhang Tie erased the only trace that might expose his real identity in Upton City. After that, under the escort of a team of guards, Zhang Tie left the manor in No. 16 Wealth Avenue and headed for Leeb's Hunting Castle in the south of Upton City.
...
The Hunting Castle that Angus Clan built near Kalay Mountain Range in the south of Upton City was the symbol of wealth and social status of this clan. Because there were many wild beasts and magical beasts in Kalay Mountain Range, the periphery of Kalay Mountain Range, where low-level magical beasts appeared, became the sacred hunting ground. This Hunting Castle of Angus Clan was built for this purpose. Angus Clan even trained a lot of wild hunters in this luxurious Hunting Castle so as to have these people accompany young master Leeb to hunt in the mountain every autumn.
Of course, this was just the impression in the eyes of outsiders. Zhang Tie knew that this Hunting Castle was actually the secret base of Three-eye Association in Upton City. Those wild hunters that Angus Clan trained in the Hunting Castle were actually a powerful action force of Three-eye Association in Free Commercial Federation. Being different than those servants and guards in the manor in No. 16 Wealth Avenue, each person in this Hunting Castle was clear about their status and that of Angus Clan. These people were all loyal to Three-eye Association.
The Hunting Castle was not only the place where Leeb hunted but also the place where Leeb cultivated.
The Hunting Castle was over 50 km away from Upton City. It was at the foot of a mountain. There was only a simple highway leading to here from Upton City. Only a part of the highway had been paved. When it was over 10 km away from the Hunting Castle, the simple highway had been cut off. At the parking place, a team of people in the Hunting Castle had been waiting for them at the foot of the hillside at the end of the highway.
Across Upton City, only the fleet of Angus Clan would come here along that highway. With a telescope in the Hunting Castle, they could easily observe the trace of the fleet. Therefore, each time Leeb came here, those wild hunters in the Hunting Castle would greet him on horseback.
