Holler's dried body was like an inflated balloon, under Kieran's gaze, it swiftly turned from a half-dried corpse to a normal man.
A person who was breathing and had a ruddy complexion.
"Damn the Burning Family, I will …"
Holler muttered when he opened his eyes.
Then, Holler saw Kieran standing in front of him, looking down at him from above.
His threatening words stopped abruptly.
Kieran looked at Holler, who had reincarnated in a corpse, calmly.
Everything before his eyes was within his expectations.
When Kieran saw the approaching robbers through Fire Raven's sight, things became obvious.
The secret room inside the dwarf's wine cup and rice bowl was the supply station for the robbers.
Eddie Merchant Group was doing the work that common merchants wouldn't do.
Even Mayor Holler was part of it.
In fact, it was the mayor who seemed fair and just on the surface who ordered the Edi Merchant Group to complete the mission.
During the process, Sheriff Beadles might have noticed something was wrong, but he was swiftly killed by Holler and faked his death to be killed by the robbers.
Because he was afraid of being exposed, Holler treated the sheriff the same way.
All the way until Kieran appeared.
Or in other words, Kieran coincidentally appeared when the robbers were about to massacre Shatterstone Town, hence the mayor became impatient and made his move on the very same day.
As for why Holler killed the goose that laid the golden eggs and cooperated with the robbers to massacre Shatterstone Town?
It wasn't hard to guess.
A soldier who spent his life in the army wouldn't have the chance to learn the abilities that Holler displayed.
How could he learn such abilities without paying a price?
In simple words, Holler was nothing but a chess piece, similar to the Eddie Merchant Group.
Did you say Holler was born with such abilities?
That was impossible.
Although some people were born extraordinary because of their bloodline, Holler was definitely not one of them, otherwise, he wouldn't have left Burning Dawn and returned to Shatterstone Town.
"Who is the one behind you?"
Kieran asked calmly.
"How do you know I will …"
"I won't tell you!"
Even if it's just a word!
We will take revenge on you!
"I'll let you taste fear and despair!"
Hall was stunned. It seemed that his brain had suffered some kind of damage after he had been reborn. He was a little dazed and almost subconsciously asked a very stupid question.
However, as soon as the words left his mouth, Hall reacted to it.
The mayor immediately roared in anger out of humiliation.
Facing such a roar, Kieran stared straight into the other party's eyes.
The enraged Holler swiftly calmed down.
His gaze changed from resistance to obedience.
"Yes, my lord."
"I will tell you everything you want to know."
Hall got up from the ground and knelt on one knee.
As soon as he finished speaking, the mayor immediately prostrated himself on the ground and kissed Kieran's boots.
Kieran wasn't surprised at all since he already knew the effect of [Mesly Ring], he turned around and headed back to Shatterstone Town.
The tightly shut door immediately opened.
Everyone made way for Kieran. At the same time, they stared at Kieran with dull eyes, as well as … Hall, who was walking respectfully behind Kieran.
What happened?
Everyone was asking themselves the same question.
Judging from the scene just now, Town Mayor Hall was inextricably linked to everything that had happened. However, Hall's subsequent actions puzzled everyone.
"Son of the Moon!
The Son of the Moon that can control people's hearts! "
Scattered murmurs could be heard from the crowd, causing fear to appear on the faces of the people around them.
Son of the Moon, it wasn't a good term for those who made a living around Supreme Road.
Although the moon always represented romance, Son of the Moon wasn't.
Unless one had a death wish, no one would want to run into a terrifying being like the Son of the Moon.
Among the crowd, there were a few others who were dressed similar to the others but had a slightly different temperament. They looked heavy as well.
However, it wasn't because of the scattered mutterings but because of Holler's shout.
"A member of the Burning Family?"
"His hair and pupils aren't red … It's the peasant eldest son of the Burning Marquis!"
"Should I say, as expected of the person that Dawn City loved to talk about?"
A few of them exchanged gazes before swiftly blending into the crowd.
…
In a shadowy spot outside Shatterstone Town, a large wagon was hiding in the shadows.
Wright, who was standing beside the wagon, witnessed everything that happened in Shatterstone Town from the start to the end.
From the hundreds of thieves getting their heads blown off to Holler's submission, the butler of the Burning Marquis saw everything with his own eyes. Wright's stern and stiff face showed an extra smile.
"Just as Lord Marquis expected …"
"You've prepared everything."
"The burning flame doesn't fear the darkness."
"The burning will doesn't fear fear."
"The burning soul doesn't fear despair."
"Please, take care."
The butler bowed in the direction of Shatterstone Town.
He didn't stop there.
The large wagon drove out from the hidden spot and headed towards Dawn City at an unimaginable speed. Under the moonlight, the emblem of fire on the side of the wagon looked like a real blazing flame. It wasn't just dancing, it was burning fiercely and amidst the blazing flame, a head with two horns could be faintly seen.
…
The gazes that followed Kieran were getting lesser and lesser. When Kieran returned to the security office, the last gaze vanished as well.
Kieran wasn't moved by the gazes.
Kieran was always the same towards gazes that didn't have malicious intent or killing intent.
Otherwise, with his sharp Intuition buffed by the Chosen One's Spirit attribute, it wouldn't take him more than a few days to become a paranoid lunatic.
However, Kieran still remembered some of the gazes from before.
Because those gazes were stronger than common ones.
The strong ones were always eye-catching.
Sitting back on the chair, Kieran looked at Holler in front of him.
Before Kieran could say anything, Holler went straight to the point.
"My lord, a man named Modi contacted me through a single line.
"He will give me some missions and teach me some Secret Techniques as payment."
"At first, it was just some unimportant things, but then it became unacceptable. But I can no longer turn back."
From the moment I used his secret techniques to heal my own wounds, I can't turn back anymore. "
Kieran nodded and signaled Holler to continue.
That person called 'Modi' didn't have any unusual methods. It was as if such things were common in some grey areas.
Every time, he would offer some benefits, including but not limited to money and women. When the man fell deep into the trap and couldn't extricate himself, he would slash the knife down and bleed the man.
"This time, Modi needed enough fresh lives so that I could work with the robbers and slaughter the whole town!
"That guy had this plan from the very beginning."
And I didn't notice anything. "
Holler, who was controlled by [Mesly Ring], broke free from the shackles of the past and showed heavy guilt on his face.
"Is there anything else you know about the man called 'Modi'?"
Kieran asked.
"He's very mysterious.
He didn't just contact me through a single line, he never really met me.
"I've tried to follow him but failed every time. After another warning, I completely gave up on the idea."
However, he seemed to be unfamiliar with the area around Supreme Road, so he would make some common mistakes. "
Holler answered.
"Unfamiliar?
"Common sense mistakes?"
Kieran squinted his eyes.
