The news about Supreme Road and Burning Dawn soon spread throughout Dawn City.
The important figures that gathered in front of the Burning Family's gate were too eye-catching, they couldn't hide from the eyes of those with ulterior motives. Moreover, the Burning Family didn't even have the intention to hide the news.
Therefore, soon, the legend of Kieran appeared in Dawn City.
That's right, it was a legend, not a rumor.
Whether it was one versus ten thousand or one versus an entire city, it was inconceivable to those who lived in a peaceful place for a long time.
Other than reading about it in epics and legends, no one had ever seen or heard of it before.
In addition to Kieran's identity as the peasant eldest son of the Burning Family, it added an extra layer of mystery to the legend.
The bloodline of the Burning Family wasn't a secret among the higher ranks of Dawn City.
The reincarnated devil.
The son of the devil.
Such a name, at first, only spread on a small scale.
But soon, as more detailed information came from the vicinity of Supreme Road, it was acknowledged by many.
After all, if he wasn't the devil, why would he kill his enemies?
All the higher ranks of Golden City were dead.
The captives that were left behind were only a tenth of the original number.
As for civilian casualties?
Sorry, in the eyes of these important figures, civilian casualties were never part of their calculations. They only cared about themselves or those with similar status.
2567 went against a noble's etiquette.
Such a saying soon won the approval of the higher ranks of Dawn City.
On top of that, they were still perfecting the saying, hoping to use it to gain more benefits for themselves.
It was true that 2567 was in Supreme Road and Burning Dawn's camp.
But the Burning Family was in Dawn City.
Soon, a highly respected old noble was selected and brought a thick stack of 'guilt letters' to the Burning Family.
They were ready to scold 2567 and the Burning Marquis.
But …
The old noble and the others who went into the mansion didn't come out.
Only a series of agonizing wails sounded in the audience's ears.
Everyone was stunned by the scene.
They couldn't imagine that the Burning Marquis would also disregard the noble's etiquette.
The nobles looked at the Burning Marquis' mansion in fear, their bodies couldn't help but shiver when they smelled the faint sulfuric smell.
However, more of the nobles were infuriated.
They started to band together.
Some did it on their own.
Some people were secretly adding fuel to the fire.
The spontaneous ones were filled with righteous indignation and felt that they had been offended.
Those who added fuel to the fire were secretly laughing, waiting for a good show to begin.
Even the common civilians and merchants living in Dawn City knew the Burning Marquis was in trouble. However, when everyone's attention was focused on the Burning Marquis' mansion, a battle broke out.
The battle took place in Grand Duke Dawn's mansion.
This sudden battle destroyed more than half of the Grand Duke of Dawn's mansion, but no one knew the details of the battle.
The battle started suddenly and ended even faster.
In just a few breaths, it stopped.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Grand Duke's mansion was in ruins, no one would believe that the Grand Duke's mansion was attacked.
The unusual Burning Marquis.
The Grand Duke of Dawn who was attacked.
Dawn City, which was already filled with undercurrents, became even more mysterious and unpredictable.
"The mansion of Grand Duke Dawn that was attacked?"
In the shadows, Kieran who had returned to Dawn City for a few hours muttered to himself.
A few hours wasn't enough for Kieran to familiarize himself with the whole Dawn City but it wasn't hard for him to get some useful information.
Especially when he wasn't lacking in gold coins.
Aside from his own achievements, the attack on the Grand Duke's mansion was what caught Kieran's attention the most.
When the Burning Family was about to become the target of public criticism, the Dawn Family was attacked. Let alone Kieran who didn't believe in coincidences.
Even those who believed in coincidences would notice that something was amiss.
Unlike the Burning Family, although the Dawn Family was also one of the families that formed Burning Dawn, the Dawn Family's bloodline was destined to be more acceptable.
Plus the compromise from the Grand Duke back then, Saint Cyanda imperial court didn't make things difficult for the Dawn Family.
Of course, it also caused the relationship between the Burning Family and the Dawn Family to turn cold.
Saint Cyanda imperial court was happy to see that.
For the next hundred years, they supported the Dawn Family and suppressed the Burning Family.
Even though the Dawn Family kept a low profile, they would always be pushed to the front stage by the imperial court at the right time, performing again and again.
Therefore, in Dawn City, the Dawn Family might not have enough heirs or forces but they were the one with the most honor.
For such a family to be attacked, there was an extraordinary significance to it.
"Who attacked the Dawn family?"
Or should I say … "
"Why did they attack the Dawn Family?"
Kieran was thinking but his eyes were looking at the inn further away.
When he saw the city guards swiftly gathering in front of the inn, Kieran frowned.
He wasn't angry at the inn owner for snitching on him, he knew the owner would do it before he asked around. What surprised Kieran was the speed of the city guards, it was faster than he expected.
The information that the scene revealed wasn't what Kieran wanted.
One needed to know such a swift group of city guards shouldn't have appeared in the city guards.
"Are they more apprehensive than I thought?"
"Any sign of trouble will attract the attention of all parties!"
With furrowed brows, Kieran blended into the shadows and headed towards his destination.
Even though the situation was worse than he expected, it wouldn't change Kieran's original plan.
…
Hundreds of city guards stood guard around the ruined Grand Duke of Dawn's mansion.
The city guards were either patrolling in formation or standing guard, preventing curious visitors from approaching.
Inside the ruins, some figures were shuttling back and forth.
They were from the Dawn Family.
They were wearing white leather armor with white longswords hanging on their waists and the sunrise emblem on their chest was very easy to recognize.
The faces of these people were filled with unspoken anger.
They didn't let go of any tiny traces.
At the same time, it was also because of their presence that the imperial and noble secret agents didn't get any results.
However, the secret agents wouldn't give up so easily.
In the dark, countless pairs of eyes were staring at the scene, paying attention to the ruins and every move of the Dawn Family.
As time went by, the number of eyes didn't decrease but increased instead.
Kieran was one of them.
However, unlike the hidden secret agents, with the interaction of Transcendence [Undercover] and [Dark Movement Technique], Kieran used the intertwining light and shadow to walk into the ruins.
