Chapter 582

Imperial Capital, Lefferut House.

Unlike the imposing and majestic Bigusler House, the Lefferut House's mansion gave off a gloomy and cold feeling.

It was as if it was located in the shadows, in a dark corner. Not only were the outer walls covered with all kinds of thorns and vines, the vegetation inside was also a little dark. There were even some old trees that had already withered. In addition to that, there were crow-like birds that flew across the sky from time to time. Presumably, even in the imperial capital, this family was not well received.

In fact, this was the case.

Although the Lefferut Family had a high status in the circle of nobles in the imperial capital, they were the ones that were ostracized.

They specialized in training spies, assassins, and death warriors. They were the type that people did not like, and their style of doing things was somewhat unscrupulous. For the empire that revered martial arts, they were of course people who could not see the light of day, and only knew how to use sinister little tricks.

Such a Lefferut Family, other than those in the center of power who needed someone to do some shady work, naturally would not be welcomed by anyone.

This was especially so for those knights of noble character and unquestionable integrity. Their disdain for the Lefferut Family was already deep in their bones. Even if they did not say it out loud, they would still look down on them in their hearts.

However, it had to be said that the Lefferut Family was indeed very popular among the upper echelons of the empire.

After all, they really needed someone to do some of the dirty work.

Thus, the Lefferut Family had always been valued by the upper echelons of the empire. Since a long time ago, they had received the support of many of the upper echelons of the empire. They had always been a rather special existence in the circle of the empire's nobles.

Especially ten years ago, after the Lefferut Family received the support of the imperial concubine, the family's status rose day by day. Now, they were already nobles with the rank of marquis. Apart from those dukes who were like relatives of the emperor, they had the highest status in the circle of nobles.

And it must be known that even the Bigusler Family and Renita Family were only marquises.

In other words, even if it was just based on their title, the Lefferut Family was an existence comparable to the Bigusler Family and Renita Family.

Perhaps it was because of this that when Harvey had petitioned to go to the kingdom, the Lefferut Family could righteously intervene and send Wally, Harvey, and Lockett.

Although the Lefferut Family's purpose was definitely to monitor Harvey and Lockett, if their status was not high enough, how could they forcefully cut the queue and travel with His Highness and the Knight Commander?

When Harvey appeared in the kingdom, he only had Lockett and Wally by his side. This was enough to prove that Wally's status in the empire was at least not inferior to Lockett's.

Otherwise, did they really think that it was the position next to of the strongest Knight Commander of the Empire?

Under such circumstances, even though the Lefferut Family was unpopular in the noble circle and their base was located in such a gloomy corner, in fact, they were like the sun at high noon in the Empire.

At this moment, as the adopted son of the Lefferut Family's Patriarch, the most outstanding assassin of the younger generation, Wally appeared here.

This was the underground hall of Lefferut's house.

In the hall, there were five figures sitting around a U-shaped conference table. Their entire bodies were shrouded in darkness, and their faces could not be seen at all.

In the hall, there were five figures sitting around a U-shaped conference table. Their entire bodies were shrouded in darkness, and their faces could not be seen at all.

He didn't look at them either. Instead, he lowered his head in a respectful manner. No one knew what he was thinking, but his eyes flickered slightly.

In the next second, the five figures spoke one after another.

"Haven't you found Tierre Erbein?"

The one who spoke was the black figure in the middle.

Wally could not see his face, but he knew his identity.

"I'm sorry, Father." Wally said respectfully, "That woman is really too cunning. We have used all the means we can use to track her, but she always managed to escape. We were even tricked by her and stepped into her traps. We lost a lot of people."

Hearing this, the other four black figures immediately became restless.

"How long has it been? We still haven't caught her?"

"She's just a sixteen-year-old brat, and she's not even level 70. Shouldn't it be easy to catch such a person?"

"Family Lefeirut trained you for so many years, and spent countless resources and effort. In the end, you can't even complete such a small mission, and you even lost people?"

"If the Queen comes back and blames you, will you be able to bear the responsibility?"

Four enraged voices rang out one after another, hurling insults at Wally's face.

"Trash."

Even his adoptive father, who was sitting in the middle, said coldly. It seemed like he was also in an extremely bad mood.

Wally's eyes turned cold, but on the surface, he was still very respectful.

He had no choice.

These five shameful people in front of him were the ones with the highest status in the Lefeirut family. Other than his adoptive father, who was the head of the family, the other four were undoubtedly the higher-ups of the family. They were definitely not people that an adopted bastard like him could resist.

Moreover, Wally was quite annoyed about not being able to catch Tierre Albeyin for so long.

Recalling the incident back in the kingdom, Wally couldn't help but clutch his chest.

That woman had pierced through his chest.

Even though it was just a 'tentacle' that was pierced through, everything that the 'tentacle' had experienced was also something that he had experienced personally.

He, Wally Lefeirut, had been killed by that woman once.

Recalling the excruciating pain he felt at that time, those words echoed in Wally's ears once again.

"I will go to the Imperial City myself."

"I will find the things I need myself."

"Trying to trick me?"

"Then you guys have succeeded."

"But, whether you can find me, capture me, and achieve your goal, it will all depend on your capabilities."

"I am looking forward to the Lefeirut family's strength, and I am looking forward to the strength of the person who is driving you behind the scenes."

The cold words echoed in his ears, causing Wally to clench his hand over his chest, to the point that he could scratch his skin.

He was brought back from the outside and raised by the Lefeirut family.

Back then, he was still an abandoned baby.

In order to survive in that man-eating training facility, he trained with all his might and killed with all his might. In the end, he stepped over countless bodies of his peers and became the best killer. He was chosen by the head of the Lefeirut family and became his adopted son.

In order to climb up to this point, he had sacrificed a lot and lost a lot, but he had never suffered such a loss before. He had never been looked down upon like this.

The young lady's cold and merciless voice was like a sharp blade, piercing Wally's heart together with the weapon in her hand.

From that moment onwards, Wally had gone crazy.

It wasn't the kind of insanity that caused him to lose his mind, but the kind of insanity that caused him to lose his mind.

He had been thinking about that woman all the time.

He had been thinking about killing her all the time.

He wanted to pierce that woman's heart just like that time, making her fall in a pool of blood, screaming in despair.

But at the same time, he had a burning passion for that woman. He wished he could take her for himself and make her his.

There was a saying in the world, "Love begets hate."

Wally was different. Maybe his hate begot love.

After all, this was the only woman who was more merciless and cold than him. She could even make him suffer and die once.

Previously, Wally had looked down on Tierre. He had gone to the Kingdom to kill Tierre and deceive her. However, he was killed and deceived by Tierre instead. All the hatred he had for Tierre intertwined and formed a twisted obsession.

He wanted revenge.

He also wanted to take this woman for himself.

Therefore, when the Lefeirut family was preparing to ambush Tierre, as the leader, he had been hiding in the darkest corner until the other party revealed a flaw. Only then did he attack and pierce through Tierre's abdomen.

If it wasn't because he wanted to force that woman into a corner and take her for himself, Wally might not have pierced through her abdomen, but her heart.

Unfortunately, in the end, Tierre actually escaped.

This caused the Lefeirut family, who had received the order from the Queen to kill Tierre no matter what, to be in a difficult situation.

Just like what one of the elders of the family said, if they couldn't catch her, it would be hard for them to explain to the Queen.

This was the plan that the Queen personally came up with. If the Lefeirut family didn't execute it well, they wouldn't end up well when the Queen blamed them.

However, Wally couldn't do anything about it.

"I suspect that there is a person with very high attainments in magic supporting Tierre Elbein in the dark."

Wally lowered his head and reported truthfully.

"Whether it was that time in the palace or these days of pursuit, whenever Tierre Elbein was forced into a corner, there would always be some strange things happening. For example, people would suddenly disappear, or clues would suddenly be cut off halfway. Sometimes, there would even be a strange reduction in the number of people. All of these proved that Tierre Elbein wasn't fighting alone."

Wally realized this.

Unfortunately, the Queen didn't care.

"No matter what the reason is, if you can't complete the mission, you can't escape from the blame."

The head of the Lefeirut family said coldly.

"I'll give you two more days. Before the Queen returns, no matter what method you use, you must bring her back to me.

"If he's dead, I want to see his corpse."

If you can't complete the mission, you know what will happen. "

His words caused Wally to close his eyes.

Then, he made a response.

"Yes."

Thus, this secret meeting came to an end.

At this moment …

"Boom!"

All of a sudden, a strong vibration appeared.

"What?!"

"This vibration is …?!"

"What happened?!"

"Ah!"

The elders of the clan cried out in alarm one after another.

"…?!"

The head of the Lefeirut family also stood up.

Wally suddenly raised his head.

An earth-shaking tremor suddenly appeared, causing the entire underground hall to sway.

It was as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.
