"Iznario Farid!! Do you know your crime?! "
A stern voice of reproach reverberated in the spacious meeting hall.
Amidst this voice, the insignia of the Seven Star Families swayed slightly, as if responding to the stern voice that reverberated in the meeting hall.
Beneath the flags, apart from the empty seat beneath the golden wolf flag that represented the Farid Family, the other six flags were filled with the six leaders of the Seven Star Families.
They had gathered here for no other reason.
It was all for the sake of investigating whether or not the sudden revival of Disaster Sacrifice was caused by someone else.
Moreover, the person who had caused all this to happen was the head of one of the Seven Stars Families, the Farid Family, Iznario Farid.
In the hundreds of years since the end of the Calamity Sacrifice, the Seven Star Families had been fighting openly and covertly over the authority of Lars Horn and the Seven Star Families.
However, none of this needed to be said.
No matter who it was, they had all wisely set a bottom line that everyone tacitly understood.
Now, this boundary seemed to have been breached.
However, the culprit who caused all of this turned a blind eye to the pressure from the six lords. He stood there calmly, looking at the six lords led by Duke Baquran.
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't? Duke Baquran. Does all of this surprise you and everyone else? "
Iznario Farid revealed a faint smile, completely unconcerned about the situation he was in.
"If it really was you who caused the revival of the Calamity Sacrifice, then you are the sinner of the Seven Star Families, Lars Horn, and even humanity! As the leader of the Farid Family, one of the Seven Star Families, the descendant of the hero who ended the Calamity Sacrifice, you actually committed such a heinous crime!! "
Duke Baquran's voice rumbled like thunder in the meeting hall.
That voice was so loud that it hurt one's ears. It was hard to believe that Duke Baquran was an old man with white hair.
"Crime? Duke Baquran. I don't think this is a crime! A wise man submits to circumstances! The times have changed! Duke Bagulan, as well as the leaders of the Seven Stars Clans. "
Iznario Farid chuckled softly. He was not afraid of Duke Baguran's reproach, nor was he afraid of the blame he would receive if he admitted that he was the culprit behind the revival of the ritual.
"Lord Farid! Are you admitting that you are the culprit behind the revival of Doom Sacrifice? "
Seated to the right of Duke Baguran was a middle-aged man with a large beard. A sharp glint flashed through his eyes as he stared intently at Iznario Farid.
"Didn't I tell you? So what if he was? So what if he wasn't? Prince Arion. You, who I've always regarded as my opponent, won't still persist in such a boring topic? "
Iznario Farid sneered as he faced his greatest opponent, Lesdar Elian.
At this moment, Iznario Farid's performance finally made the six leaders of the Seven Star Clans realize the truth.
"Everyone. It seems that our Seven Stars Clans have become fewer in number. "
Duke Zangong of Baqur Orchid had a dark expression on his face as he slowly said these words.
"Wait! Duke Bogulan! Iznario Farid's actions are personal and have nothing to do with McKillis Farid. Moreover, we were able to discover Iznario Farid's crimes thanks to McKillis Farid's righteous actions. "
As soon as he heard Duke Bogulan's suggestion to revoke the Farid Family's honor, Family Head Badwin was the first to speak up.
"McKillis, is it? Fine! Then … "Duke Bogulan frowned.
Duke Baquran frowned, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Iznario Farid's sudden laughter.
"Hahahahaha! Ridiculous! Utterly ridiculous! I thought that I would see something different happen when I walked right into the trap. But the result is still the same! Lars Horn is already dead! No matter what happens in the outside world, Lars Horn will still follow in his rotten footsteps. "
"How ridiculous!"
"Iznario Farid!! What nonsense are you spouting? Since you've already confessed, you should obediently accept your trial! "
The youth who had just taken over the Kuzan Family as the head of the Seven Stars Family, Ioghu Kuzan, finally couldn't hold himself back any longer. He pointed at Iznario Farid and cursed.
However.
Ordinary people might fear Kuzan's name, but Iznario Faried was not intimidated by Éogu Kuzan, who was still young and immature, and who still had the indiscriminate attitude of a young man who was obsessed with what he believed to be the right thing to do.
"Hmph! Since when is it the turn of a dog who only knows how to wag its tail at Arion to bark here! "
"You! Iznario Farid!! You dare to insult the name of Kuzan! "
As expected, Iznario Farid only needed to provoke the young Kuzan a little, and he immediately flew into a rage. He wanted to jump down and teach this sinner a lesson!
"Calm down! Ioghu! "
Fortunately, Lesdar Arion, who was sitting next to him, stopped him.
"Ioghu. It's not your turn to speak. Isn't that right? Iznario. "
The first half of Lesdar's sentence was to appease Ioghu, but the second half was directed at someone behind Iznario.
"Hmph! My good son. So it was you who leaked it? "
Iznario snorted coldly. He didn't even turn his head. He knew that the person who had leaked his secret had already arrived at the conference hall.
"Yes! Brigadier General Farid. As a soldier of Lars Horn, it is his duty to protect the citizens. Brigadier General Farid's actions are undoubtedly trampling on Lars Horn's mission and the glory of the Seven Stars Family. "
MacGillis's determined voice came from behind Iznario Fareed, echoing in the air above the assembly hall.
"In order to prevent Brigadier General Farid's crimes from worsening, and in order to make my beloved father turn back, I don't hesitate to cast a shadow over Farid's name to prevent my father from continuing down the wrong path!"
Hearing McGillis' words, the cold smile on Iznario's lips deepened, and his demonic charm grew.
"That sounds very much like it! Farid's son! But can you really hold on to Farid's name? McGillis. My beloved little lamb! "
Boom!
Just as Iznario finished speaking, a thunderous boom suddenly assaulted the conference hall.
The moment the rumbling roar reverberated above the assembly hall, a large piece of the ceiling wreckage smashed down without warning.
Amidst the billowing dust.
The broken pieces of the ceiling smashed down the seven flags in the meeting hall, and even enveloped the leaders of the six Seven Stars Clans.
"Lord Arian!!"
In the midst of the sudden accident, Éogu reacted immediately and subconsciously pounced on Arian who was beside him.
"Father!! Dodge!! "
On the other side, Galio, who had come with McGillis but hadn't said anything, also rushed to the flag and threw Barduwin to the ground to protect him.
Apart from that, the other three leaders were either rolling on the ground or watching the ceiling debris come crashing down, plunging them into endless darkness.
"Duke Baquran!"
Kalta was half a step too slow and was about to take a step forward when McGillis pulled him back.
"Kalta! Don't go! It's too late! "
McGillis glanced at the flag that had already fallen, and then looked at the place covered in dust. Iznario Farid wasn't covered by the debris of the ceiling.
"Crack!"
At this moment, a soft sound came from the broken ceiling.
It was a long mechanical arm.
The mechanical arm extended down from the hole in the ceiling and reached Iznario Farid's position.
"Not good! Iznario is about to escape! "
McGillis' gaze flickered as he subconsciously took out a pistol from his waist and raised it to shoot.
"Hahahaha! McGillis. If you want to shoot, go ahead! Now, the name of Farid will belong to you!! "
But as he watched the man being grabbed by the mechanical arm and brought to the ceiling, McGillis didn't shoot. He only silently watched as he left.
Until Ioghu Kuzan screamed.
"No!! Lord Arian!! Wake up!!! "
"Not good! Duke Baquran! "
As soon as he heard Éogu Cousin's scream, Kalta ignored the still tumbling sand and the danger of the debris of the ceiling that could fall again at any time. He rushed over to Éogu Cousin.
Then, Kalta's panic-filled voice came.
"McGillis, Galio, come over quickly! Duke Baquran … is dead!! "
Perhaps no one in Lars Horn had expected such a dramatic turn of events.
The speed of the change was beyond the common sense of most people.
Firstly, Iznario Farid, the leader of the Farid Family, one of the Seven Star Families that ended the War of Calamity, was actually the main culprit behind the revival of modern Calamity Sacrifice.
Secondly, as Farid's successor, McGillis Farid, placed righteousness before family and took the initiative to expose Iznario Farid's scheme to Lars Horn's headquarters.
In the end, when the leaders of the Seven Star Families who controlled Galalhorn tried to interrogate Iznario Faried, their scheme was exposed, and the enraged Iznario Faried decided to kill him. He killed the oldest member of the Seven Star Families, Duke Bagullan Zan, and injured Lesdar Elian and Duke Falk Faried. Only Ioghu Kuzan, who had just taken over Kuzan's authority, and the surviving Badwin and his son, Karta Yethew, who had been rescued, and McGillis Faried, who had placed righteousness before family, were left to clean up the mess.
Even though Duke Baquran, who had reacted, immediately sealed the news.
However, the glaring hole in the roof of Galalhorn's headquarters was undeniable proof. Coupled with the mysterious body that had appeared out of nowhere and taken Iznario Farid away, the rumors of the leaders of the Seven Stars Families being attacked soon spread throughout Earth.
"This is troublesome! Galio, McGillis. I didn't expect the situation to turn out like this. Now, the entire headquarters is lacking in manpower, and even the people are starting to feel uneasy. "
Duke Baquran, who couldn't wash away the fear he felt after almost stepping into Duke Baquran's shoes, let out a long sigh.
In front of him stood the son and future son-in-law that he was most satisfied with.
"Father. Could it be that even you can't calm everyone? "
Galio hesitated for a moment before asking.
Duke Baquran shook his head and sighed.
"The other families are still fine. But it's hard for me to speak to the Farid Family and the Baquran Family. McGillis. You know the reason. "
Now, Duke Baquran pointed the spearhead at the silent McGillis.
Even Galio knew that Duke Baquran was forcing McGillis to make a decision.
Either use this opportunity to seize Farid's name, or completely cut ties with Farid and become a member of the Baquran Family.
Choose …
Actually, McGillis had already made his choice.
He wanted both!
"I understand! Father. Now, I'll go and calm the Farid Family, and give the Baquran Family justice in Farid's name. "
Looking at McGillis's unwavering back, Duke Baquran suddenly felt as if he couldn't see through the son-in-law he had personally chosen.
His ambition …
It seemed to be very big!
So big that he couldn't see it clearly.
"Galio! Help me send a message to Kalta Ishu. The most important thing now is to integrate the Earth's Outer Orbit Command Fleet as soon as possible. Iznario Farid will probably launch another attack very soon. "
"Yes! Father! "
Galio paused, somewhat hesitant.
"Galio, is there anything else?"
"Yes! Before coming here, McGillis mentioned to me that Éogu Kuzan's side seems to be a little unstable. "
"Éogu Kuzan?"
At the mention of this overly young Duke Kuzan, Duke Baquran's head hurt even more, but there was nothing he could do.
"Forget it! Let him be! Right now, our mission is to stabilize the situation as soon as possible. As for Duke Kuzan, let's see what he chooses. "
Galio opened his mouth, but in the end, he remained silent.
His father's reaction was just as McGillis had said to him in private.
Right now, among Lars Horn, there was probably no one who could control Éogu Kuzan.
The one who could control this mad dog, Lesdar Elian, was unfortunately injured and unconscious. He was lying in the hospital, and it was unknown when he would wake up.
In other words, in the current situation, apart from Iznario Farid, the biggest variable was Éogu Kuzan, this dog who might become even crazier because of his master's injury!
