Chapter 586

Lefferut House, old site.

Not long after, the place was surrounded by layers of people.

The heavy-armored knights of the Imperial Knight Regiment had already arrived and completely sealed off the area.

The Knights were searching inside, trying to find out why this place had become like this.

The unrelated people were blocked outside and not allowed to enter, but there were still people rushing over. Looking at the Lefferut House that had been razed to the ground, they looked at each other in dismay and fear, causing all kinds of whispers to appear.

No one knew what happened here.

No one knew who the culprit was either.

People only came to one conclusion.

"Lefferut is finished."

That was what happened.

This insufferably arrogant assassin family had vanished into thin air today.

The Imperial Knights found many mutilated corpses from the razed Lefferut House, and also dug out many dead people buried alive from the ground. After verification, it was confirmed that they were all from the Lefferut Family.

In particular, there were a few charred corpses that were completely unrecognizable. After a magic examination, a few of them were confirmed to be the Lefferut Family's elders.

As for the Patriarch, Dyrecis, he was nowhere to be seen.

Some people thought that he had died without a complete corpse.

Some people thought that he was lucky enough to escape.

But in any case, the Lefferut Family had disappeared from the imperial capital. This was an indisputable fact.

Perhaps there were still some fish that escaped the net of the Lefferut Family outside.

After all, tonight, not all the Lefferut Family members happened to be at home.

But the Lefferut Family had already been exterminated, and the remaining fish that escaped the net probably wouldn't be able to cause any big waves, right?

Therefore, the Lefferut Family was finished. This was the truth.

After understanding this, people's reactions were different.

Some people made an uproar, not daring to believe it.

Some people were gloating and laughing coldly.

Some people were surprised, some people doubted, and some people felt their hearts palpitate.

No matter what, the Lefferut Family was a Marquis family, a great noble with a very high status in the Empire. Now that it was destroyed overnight, it was really sad and terrifying.

People were guessing who did such a terrible thing, and who did the Lefferut Family offend.

Just who was that mysterious cloaked expert?

In addition, the unknown monster that was sliced into two by the mysterious cloaked expert was like a real mirage. Even its corpse disappeared without a trace.

Then, what kind of monster was that?

One question after another appeared in everyone's hearts, causing many people to ponder over it.

Many people saw the actions of the mysterious cloaked expert.

He could summon a meteor shower and wash the ground with meteorites.

He was able to slay monsters with a single slash of his sword and defeat unknown monsters.

With his own strength, it seemed that he had eradicated the entire Lefferut Family.

It was easy to imagine what kind of discussion and uproar such an expert was currently active in the Imperial Capital.

In short, the Imperial Capital would definitely be very lively tonight.

Gradually, even the common people in the imperial capital knew about such a big event, which caused a huge uproar.

Of course, it was impossible for the palace to turn a blind eye to this matter.

It was said that His Majesty the Emperor had hurriedly sent a few officials here to understand the situation.

One could imagine that in the following period of time, the rumors in the Imperial Capital would definitely change.

At this time, the culprit, Shien, appeared in an unknown alley.

There, Tilly was quietly waiting for Shien to return.

"Alright, let's go."

As if he had gone out to do something insignificant, Shien said this in a calm tone.

This made Tilly feel very complicated.

Looking at the culprit who had destroyed the entire Lefferut Family, Tilly finally couldn't hold it in.

"You're too reckless." Tilly said in a low voice, "If we destroy the Lefferut family just like that, it will definitely attract a lot of trouble."

Wasn't that right?

The Imperial Capital was already in a state of panic because of the strange thief. Now that Shien had destroyed such a large noble family in one night, one could imagine how lively and chaotic the Imperial Capital would become from tomorrow onwards.

The same went for the palace. Now that they knew that the Lefferut Family had been destroyed by a mysterious powerhouse, they would definitely come up with all sorts of countermeasures. They would either send out a large number of people to search for the culprit, or they would strengthen their security and defenses and launch comprehensive defense measures in the Imperial Capital.

Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult for Shien to hide in the Imperial Capital or even move around.

If things went awry, not only would Shien be unlucky, he might even cause trouble for the Bigusler Family.

"What's wrong?" Shien glanced at Tilly and said calmly, "Are you worried that the head of the Renitra Family will report you?"

It was no wonder that Shien would say that.

After all, it was only today that Shien appeared at the Bigusler Family as a mysterious powerhouse in a cloak and repelled Saliro.

With that, when the Lefferut Family's matter came to light, Saliro would definitely think that the person who attacked the Lefferut Family was the mysterious powerhouse who had appeared at the Bigusler Family's house today.

The Renitra Family was also on the Imperial Concubine's side, and could be considered on the same side as the Lefferut Family.

So, how could Saliro not report this matter?

"The Imperial Concubine's faction will definitely take this opportunity to make things difficult, right?" Tilly said with a worried expression, "Especially Saliro Renitra. He will definitely want to take this opportunity to accuse the Bigusler Family and slander us, forcing us into a corner."

Not to mention, this wasn't considered slandering them.

Shien had indeed appeared at the Bigusler Family's house and was indeed in contact with the Bigusler Family. He had also attacked the Lefferut Family. These were all real crimes.

One could imagine how difficult it would be for the Bigusler Family from now on.

Tilly was a little resentful about this.

Obviously, she was blaming Shien for attacking the Lefferut Family.

However, what Shien wanted to tell her was …

"What do you have to do with what I want to do?"

Shien's blunt words made Tilly's face darken.

As the daughter of the Bigusler Family and a well-known figure among the younger generation of the Imperial Capital, a heroine pursued by countless people, when had she ever been insulted like this before?

"You're the one who harmed us. Can't I say a few words?"

Tilly shot back at Shien. Even though she knew that the person before her was a powerhouse more terrifying than her father, she did not show any weakness.

Of course, Shien snorted disdainfully at such an attitude.

"I say, Missy, you must have had a good life in the first half of your life. You must have been held in high regard. You haven't suffered much, have you?"

Shien said with a faint smile.

"What do you mean by that?"

Tilly could tell from Sean's tone that he was looking down on others, and she was immediately infuriated.

Unfortunately …

"It's just the literal meaning," Shien curled his lips and said, "If it wasn't like that, why would you be so naive?"

As he spoke, Shien left the female knight behind and walked forward on his own.

"Wait," Tilly quickly reached out her hand and grabbed Shien's arm, saying loudly, "Speak clearly! How am I naive? "

Shien instantly turned around and looked at Tilly.

His gaze made Tilly's heart skip a beat. Her grip on Shien's arm also started to loosen.

Only then did Shien speak.

"Aren't you naive?" Shien said calmly, "Since you aren't naive, then please tell me. If it wasn't for me, would the Bigusler Family have survived today?"

His words rendered Tilly speechless.

But that wasn't the end of Shien's words.

"Do you think without the Lefferut Family, the Bigusler Family wouldn't be targeted by the palace and the Imperial Concubine's faction?" Shien sneered, "Whether I destroyed the Lefferut Family or not, the Bigusler Family's situation wouldn't have changed at all. Yet you're saying that I harmed you? That's the funniest joke I've ever heard."

At the same time, Sean pried Tilly's hand that was grabbing his arm.

"Do you think that great father of yours doesn't know that I'm going to deal with the Lefferut Family?

When I asked him where the Lefferut Family was, he already knew that I would make a move against them.

"But he didn't say anything. Do you know why?"

Because he knew very well that regardless of whether I dealt with the Lefferut Family or not, the Bigusler Family would still face the same predicament.

Rather than that, it would be better for me to take action and eradicate the Lefferut Family. That would also weaken the Imperial Concubine's faction. The Bigusler Family might face a lot of difficulties, but their enemies would be fewer.

"Also, regardless of whether it's your Bigusler family or Prince Harvey, you'll have to rely on me to break out of your predicament and fight for a chance of survival. That's why your great father wouldn't dare to say anything about what I'm about to do."

At least, he wouldn't dare to question and criticize me in front of my face like you did, because he can't afford to offend me.

Do you understand now? Naive young lady! "

Shien's words rendered Tilly speechless.

Only then did she remember what Proctor had told her.

"He's not someone you can afford to offend, and neither am I. Even the entire human race can't afford to offend him."

Those words reverberated in Tilly's mind.

Tilly was completely speechless.

Shien naturally wouldn't care about this stubborn young lady.

Originally, whether or not he wanted to deal with the Lefferut Family had nothing to do with Bigusler.

Just as he had said, if it weren't for him, the Bigusler Family wouldn't even be able to get past Saliro. How dare they try to restrict his actions?

Go home and eat by yourself.

"Let's go."

Seeing that Tilly was speechless, Shien also spoke in a bored manner.

"Bring me to the palace."

After saying that, Shien turned around and left.

Tilly clenched her teeth, but in the end, she still sighed and followed.

Whether or not she was convinced, only she herself knew.
