Beside the collapsed tailor's shop, a family of three came down from an old wagon.
A husband, a wife, and a son.
The three of them were travel-worn. The adults had the joy of surviving a disaster and returning home, while the children were biting their fingers, looking at the scene in a daze.
They didn't understand the look on their parents' faces.
Piece by piece, the items were moved down from the wagon and the locked door was opened again.
It had only been a few days since they left, so most of the things didn't need to be cleaned. Only some dust was swiftly cleaned by the hardworking wife.
The items were arranged neatly by the husband.
However, one of the tapestries was missing a piece of hardwood.
You said nails?
Stop joking.
As one of the most valuable items in the house, neither the wife nor the husband would destroy the tapestries with nails.
Even though it wasn't even a third of the size of a normal door curtain.
"Go get a piece of wood.
Old Jamie's place next door should have a lot.
The house is in ruins, it's not too much for us to take one or two pieces. At most, we'll invite him for dinner when he comes back, "said the wife.
The husband nodded and walked out the door.
The husband nodded and walked out of the door. When he passed by the child, he even touched the child's head and revealed a gentle smile.
"Stay here. If there's anything, just call your mom."
I'll go get two pieces of wood. "
The husband then walked to the ruined tailor's shop.
The husband couldn't help but sigh when he saw the ruins.
"Hope Old Jamie doesn't see this.
No, no.
It's better to see, at least he's still alive. "
The moment the words escaped his mouth, the husband realized he said something wrong, so he quickly changed his words. He then walked into the ruins, hoping to find one or two pieces of wood that could be useful.
Obviously, this was not an easy task.
The husband spent more than 10 minutes picking up two pieces of wood that were considered intact.
He shook the dust off the wood and turned around, ready to go home.
However, when he turned around, he realized his son, who had been squatting in front of his house, was gone. The husband's body shook.
But at the next moment, he walked back to his house as if nothing had happened.
"Little Jimmy! Little Jimmy! "
The husband called out as he walked, but there was no reply.
Not only did his son not reply, even his wife didn't reply.
"What is he doing?"
The husband grumbled and moved on.
But when he was a meter away from the door, the husband threw out the two pieces of wood in his hands.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sharp sound of something breaking through the air was like a javelin being thrown.
The husband, who threw the two logs, did not move his upper body. His toes touched the ground, and he shot backward like an arrow.
But right away, he flew back with an even faster speed.
Bang!
The husband broke through the door of his house and crawled on the ground, trembling.
Ouch!
A piercing pain spread from the area where he was kicked to the rest of his body.
With just a single kick, the other party knew that the person who had attacked him was not only fast, but also familiar with the structure of the human body and knew where to strike.
Then, when the husband gritted his teeth and prepared to get up to fight to the death, he finally saw the situation in the room clearly.
A young girl was sitting on a chair.
His' wife 'and' child 'were lying unconscious at his opponent's feet.
"Mary James!"
When he saw the iconic blonde hair and blue eyes, he cried out in surprise.
Of course, Mary wasn't the reason why he panicked.
It was because he knew that Mary's appearance must be followed by someone else.
The Devil!
When the corner of his eyes saw the black figure, his body couldn't help but tremble. The poison hidden in his teeth almost touched it, but he gave up in the end.
It wasn't that he was afraid.
It wasn't that he was afraid of death.
It was just that he remembered the fact that the Devil controlled bodies and souls.
It was a very clear record!
He had seen it more than once.
Because of that, he felt fear.
He couldn't even escape death, what kind of misfortune and despair was that?
And when such despair spread, how could he not tremble?
"What are you doing?"
The man shouted.
Kieran's answer was a karate chop.
Pak!
The man fainted on the ground right away.
There was no need to ask.
Or more precisely, it wasn't the time to ask yet.
Mary watched in confusion as Kieran tied up the three captives, but she didn't say anything. She knew Kieran must have his own reasons for doing so.
Following Kieran, Mary saw Kieran bring the three captives back to the palace.
Likewise, she also saw Maxim and Celty bring a group of men to the entrance of the palace.
There weren't many of them, even fewer than the previous battle, only around 10 men.
"My lord.
This is all the men I can gather. "
Maxim said shyly when he saw Kieran walking closer.
If it was possible, Maxim wouldn't even want to face Kieran directly, even though he knew Kieran didn't ask him to gather all the men for a test.
However, when he left, he was full of confidence.
Those who didn't belong to the same branch as him couldn't be gathered, but the men under his command, Maxim thought he had a 90% success rate.
However, reality gave him a loud slap in the face.
When he sent out the signal to gather, other than the 10 men beside him, the others either didn't respond or rejected him outright.
They even told Maxim to go under someone else.
Maxim couldn't accept such a result.
However, the cruel reality forced him to swallow the bitter fruit.
He knew why this had happened.
However, because of that, it made him suffer even more.
He didn't have the decisiveness of a leader.
Maxim faced his own mistake and lowered his head in pain. He didn't dare to look at Kieran's expression.
Any contempt or mockery would be fatal to him in his current state.
"Well done."
Kieran's voice sounded.
Maxim was stunned.
He looked up at Kieran in disbelief, hoping to notice something.
However, Kieran's constant expression prevented Maxim from noticing anything.
"My lord, you don't have to comfort me."
Maxim shook his head with a bitter smile.
"I didn't comfort you.
There are at least 10 more men, much better than I thought. I thought the number would be a single digit or not at all.
10 men, it means you are much kinder than I thought. "
Kieran then walked into the palace.
He had more important matters to attend to, so he didn't have time to chat with Maxim. The reason why he was able to talk to Maxim was because the number of men he brought exceeded his expectations.
Looking at Kieran's back, Maxim opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when the words reached his mouth, they turned into gratitude.
"Thank you."
Maxim said as he waved his hand.
His friends and men followed Kieran into the palace.
Then, the sky slowly darkened.
Strange figures were approaching Warren Palace with the help of the darkness and shadows.
The leader of the group looked at the heavily-guarded Warren Palace and let out a disdainful cold laugh.
"Frog in the well!
You will never know who you have offended! "
Puk!
