Chapter 592

A turbulent and uneasy night finally passed.

The next day, there were all kinds of heated discussions in the imperial capital.

"A meteor shower destroyed the entire Leffelut family."

"The Leffelut family was wiped out in one night. Its glory is gone."

"A mysterious powerhouse descended in the Leffelut family and fought against a terrifying monster."

"The Imperial Knights were dispatched, the Royal Knights were dispatched, and all the nobles fought to be the first to investigate the Leffelut matter."

"The Emperor was enraged and flew into a rage. He issued an arrest warrant throughout the night, determined to catch the culprit."

Such topics continued to appear in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, in exchange for a burst of heated discussions, and in exchange for people's exclamations and shock again and again.

"I didn't expect that Leffelut to actually …"

"Although I don't like that marquis' family, they are so terrifying. How could they be destroyed in one night?"

"Who is that mysterious powerhouse? How can he be so powerful? "

"To be able to summon a meteor shower, he should be a very powerful Legendary Mage. I just don't know what magic he used."

"But I heard that he used a sword when fighting the mysterious monster. He even split the dragon's breath with one sword and cut the monster's body that was hundreds of meters tall."

"If that's the case, then it should be a Legendary Warrior that's even stronger than Bigusle, right?"

"Oh my god, a great magic that can summon a meteor shower, and a sword that can split a huge monster that is hundreds of meters tall. Is there such an all-rounded Legendary powerhouse in this world?"

"Who knows."

"Anyway, Leffelut is really gone this time."

"This can be considered a kind of retribution."

The people were having such conversations. At first, it was quite true, but later on, it became more and more outrageous. Some people even claimed that a powerhouse from the Demon Realm had attacked the Leffelut family.

And this heated discussion brought about two changes.

One was that the previous rumors against Harvey and Lockett were replaced by this hot topic, causing many nobles to temporarily shift their attention away from the Bigusler family. Finally, the Bigusler family was no longer criticized.

The other was the existence of Shien, who had become the object of curiosity and pursuit of everyone in the imperial capital.

The imperial capital had always revered the strong, and there was a natural respect for the strong.

Now, a mysterious powerhouse who could single-handedly destroy the entire Leffelut family appeared in the imperial capital, which naturally caused all kinds of discussions.

Especially since the Leffelut Family's reputation in the Empire wasn't very good, and an inexplicable malevolent monster had appeared in their territory. This led many people to believe that the Leffelut Family might have done something that caused the wrath of the heavens and the people to be resentful. That was why the mysterious expert came to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens and eradicate the sinful Leffelut Family.

This infuriated many people in power in the empire.

The people were disgusted with Leffelut, but they still needed Leffelut to do some dirty work for them, providing them with death warriors and spies to eradicate those who were unfavorable to them.

As a result, Lefferut was destroyed. This was a huge loss for the higher-ups of the empire.

"Search!

"

"Find out who the culprit is!"

"He actually destroyed the Leffelut family. Damn it. In the future, how are we going to deal with the work of the empire that can't be brought into the light?"

"Damn it!"

The empire's upper echelons were furious.

Under such circumstances, just as Shien and the others expected, Saliro immediately thought of the mysterious powerhouse who forced him to retreat at Bigusler's house yesterday.

Both of them were wearing cloaks, and on the night that they appeared, the Leffelut family was destroyed. Even a fool would link the two together.

Thus, Saliro immediately reported this matter, making the empire's upper echelons even more furious.

"Lockhart, so it was really the Bigusler family that colluded with the enemy and committed treason!"

"Immediately send troops to surround the Bigusler family!"

"We have to teach them a lesson!"

Many of the upper echelons were clamoring.

However, just like what Proctor had said, after the excitement, they all calmed down.

"If Lockhart really colluded with that mysterious powerhouse, then this matter will be troublesome."

"We can still use Saliro to restrain Lockhart, and I don't think he would dare to really attack the empire. As long as we mobilize the empire's knights and use the Bigusler family members that are in custody to threaten him, we won't have to worry about him causing trouble."

"But that mysterious powerhouse is different."

"He dared to make a move against Lefferut in the Imperial Capital and even managed to destroy him in a single night. Not only is he able to summon a meteor shower magic, but he is also able to slash a giant monster that is hundreds of meters tall with a single slash. If he were to really launch an attack, and Lefferut wouldn't stop him, then even if we could deal with him, wouldn't we suffer heavy losses?"

"This …"

The upper echelons hesitated.

Even Saliro did not dare to say anything about this.

There was no other way.

Lockhart alone had suppressed him for a whole 20 years, and now he had to deal with both Lockhart and that mysterious and terrifying powerhouse. Only a fool would think that he could do it.

However, among everyone, the one who wanted to make a move the most was Saliro.

Originally, he had already suppressed Lockhart, and victory was almost in his grasp. Now that such a mysterious powerhouse had suddenly appeared and seemed to be connected to Lockhart, if he let them go, who knew what would happen next?

Could it be that the Renitra Family would be annihilated tonight?

At the thought of this, Saliro felt uneasy.

So, he really wanted to make a move and get rid of this uneasy factor as soon as possible.

The problem was, whether it was him or the upper echelons of the empire, none of them dared to make a move.

They were afraid.

They were afraid that if they made a move, not only would they alarm the other party and cause the people they sent to be killed, but the other party would also hold a grudge and attack their families.

They did not want to become the second Leffelut.

They also did not think that their families were much stronger than the Leffelut family. In a situation where the Leffelut family had been destroyed, their families would be able to resist the other party's attack.

No one was willing to offend a powerhouse who could easily destroy the Leffelut family, or even draw him here.

Under such circumstances, the upper echelons of the empire could only choose to temporarily bide their time.

"Let's wait for the Imperial Concubine to return first."

"Such a big thing happened to Leffelut, the Imperial Concubine will definitely receive the news."

"Let's wait for the Imperial Concubine to come back, then take our time to think about it."

"For now, send people out to continue spreading rumors. Just say that the mysterious powerhouse who destroyed Leffelut is from the kingdom and is in cahoots with Bigusler. Because Leffelut had offended Bigusler before, he was ordered to destroy Leffelut."

"This will at least continue to attack Bigusler's reputation and change the people's impression of him."

"That's right. To actually worship such a hateful guy as a hero, what a bunch of fools."

Just like that, the actions of the upper echelons of the empire were completely predicted by Lockhart.

They did not dare to rashly alarm such a terrifying and mysterious powerhouse. Knowing that the Bigusler family was connected to that mysterious powerhouse, they would not dare to act recklessly against the Bigusler family.

Although public opinion could still be manipulated, compared to their previous predicament, the current Bigusler family could instead fight for a period of time to struggle.

Using this opportunity, Lockhart was also prepared to secretly contact some loyal subordinates of the empire's knights to fight for some combat power, support, and hope for the future of the Bigusler family.

Under Lockhart's orders, Tilly was also making contact with the nobles who supported Harvey.

If they knew that the mysterious powerhouse was the support that Harvey had invited, they would begin their counterattack. The nobles' morale would probably be greatly boosted, and they would start moving again, right?

If they could use this to pressure the palace and make the palace make some compromises, that would be for the best.

At the very least, they would have to think of a way to get the detained members of the Bigusler family out first.

Lockhart was taking action for this reason.

As for Shien, under La Xia's care, he was holding Lilith, who was sleeping soundly. While the capital was bustling with activity, he woke up late.

"Hah ~"

Yawning, Shien ate the breakfast that La Xia had prepared in a half-awake state.

"Ah ~"

Beside him, Lilith was obediently opening her mouth, accepting La Xia's feeding.

The three of them were in a hidden room in the Bigusler family, living as if there was no one else around.

"Right, La Xia." Shien ate leisurely, and at the same time asked La Xia, "Any news of Lésia?"

"No." La Xia was still feeding Lilith, and expressionlessly answered Shien's question, "Miss Lésia has not come looking for us."

"Not yet?" Shien's shoulders slumped, and he said unhappily, "What is that guy doing?"

He had thought that after last night's huge commotion, Lésia would come looking for him soon.

After all, others might not know, but Lésia definitely knew that the person who destroyed Leffelut last night was Shien.

In Lésia's impression, there was no other mysterious powerhouse who could use celestial magic, apart from Shien.

In this way, once she heard that Shien had appeared in the imperial capital, that young lady should come looking for him immediately.

And once she came looking for him, Shien would know where Tierre was and find her.

Who would have thought that there was still no news of Lésia?

"Don't tell me he failed miserably and something happened to him?"

Shien frowned.

To this, La Xia gave a negative answer.

"That's not possible." Hua Xia said calmly, "With First Miss's ability, she should be able to escape even if she can't beat the three goddesses and the six demons, unless she encounters existences on the same level as them."

"That's true." Shien agreed, but said, "Then why is she not here yet?"

"I'm not sure." La Xia did not seem to care, and said, "Maybe something happened to the young lady, and she's being held up."

This was the only explanation.

What could Shien do?

He could only continue to wait for news.
