128 – Killed
Archduke Fernandro’s eyebrows creased slightly and he said with some dread: “Weaver, I have never said that I would betroth Jessica to you. Is this a misunderstanding?”
Weaver smiled arrogantly, swept Yang Feng with a gaze full of contempt and then threatened coldly: “My uncle is Scarlet Hands Blitz. Your Fernandro Family should feel honored that I fancy Jessica. Since I’m fond of her, then she’s my fiancée. Yang Feng, you waste, scram! If you dare fight over this woman with me, then you’ll die without a burial to show for it. And Steel City will follow you suit!”
After listening to Weaver, the complexions of everyone changed greatly. Those aristocrats that originally felt like speaking out swallowed their words.
Scarlet Hands Blitz was a peerless expert of Warlock College Antalya, only second to Great Warlocks. Warlock College Antalya’s Great Warlocks were all practicing cultivation and studying all kinds of knowledge in seclusion, with everyday affairs being handled by Blitz. If Great Warlocks didn’t step in personally, it could than be said that Blitz was Warlock College Antalya’s uncrowned king and his status comparable to Black Dragon Empire’s Emperor, Solomon.
With regards to a lot of states of the Southern States Coalition, Blitz’s orders were not to be violated. The Warlock families which violated his orders, they all had been ma.s.sacred by him. The nickname Scarlet Hands was also given to him after ma.s.sacring six or seven Warlock families.
Archduke Fernandro’s face turned red and was slightly twisted because of his anger, yet he didn’t say a word.
Fernandro Family’s biggest backer was Warlock College Antalya; therefore, they didn’t dare offend Blitz’s nephew.
In fact, there weren’t many people in Southern States Coalition that dared offend Blitz’s nephew.
Jessica was also so angry that her pretty face became pale. She clenched hew white teeth gloomily, not knowing what to do. As Warlock College Antalya’s level-2 Warlock Apprentice, she was very clear about Scarlet Hands Blitz’s power and terror. Fernandro Family was not stronger than those few families that he had ma.s.sacred.
The entire banquet fell into a peculiar silence.
Weaver smiled proudly as he continued with his shamelessness: “Yang Feng, I’m quite fond of your mechanized infantry divisions. Hand me control over them and then get lost.”
Yang Feng, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly showed a smile: “Under such circ.u.mstances, I’m sure that Scarlet Hands Blitz Daren will see the big picture.”
Finished speaking, Yang Feng flipped his hand and a pistol appeared in it, before aiming at Weaver’s head.
“Stop!!”
Bang!
Following the gunshot, Weaver’s head instantly burst open, red and white sputtered on the ground and his headless corpse weakly fell to the ground. Right until his death, he didn’t believe that someone would actually dare kill him.
A figure flashed and Leimix appeared with a gloomy expression. Looking at Weaver’s corpse, his eyes flashed with endless horror and despair.
In his wrath, Scarlet Hands Blitz might destroy the entire Fernandro Princ.i.p.ality.
“Little Lord!!”
“f.u.c.k, you even dared kill the little Lord!!”
“Bring it on!”
"…"
The complexions of the four guards beside Weaver immediately turned extremely pale. They erupted with life force comparable to level-3 Apprentice Warlocks and then silently recited incantations, intending to cast their spells.
Yang Feng ordered with a faint smile: “Leimix, get rid of them! Otherwise, your Fernandro Family will be an enemy of Steel City! The things that Scarlet Hands Blitz is capable of, Steel City is as well.”
Leimix shuddered and then erupted with the terrifying life force of a Level-2 Warlock, before casually pointing and at once firing four gray radiances at the four guards. The bodies of the four guards withered in a flash as their life force disappeared and they turned into four dried up corpses.
Leimix had a bitter expression, followed by a long sigh: “Yang Feng, you’re too impulsive.”
Although Weaver was arrogant and domineering, but he was Scarlet Hands Blitz’s kin. Now that Weaver was publicly killed by Yang Feng, Blitz would never let him off. And even Fernandro Princ.i.p.ality would be implicated.
Yang Feng said with a slight smile: “Leimix, do me a favor. Kill all the guards brought by Weaver and then send his corpse back to Blitz. In the face of this life or death juncture, I think that he’ll see the big picture and will bear with it. My followers are relatively belligerent and may be very displeased if you don’t heed my words. If there’s an insurgence, I won’t be able to stop them from acting out.”
Leimix felt a slight chill within, before smiling bitterly. He was in a dilemma. Yang Feng was forcing him to make a choice, either choose and join Steel City or remain allegiant to Warlock College Antalya.
If Fernandro Family remains allegiant to Warlock College Antalya, then the mechanized infantry divisions stationed in Narona City might immediately turn on them and raze Fernandro Family.
Leimix hesitated for a moment and then said through greeted teeth: “Yang Feng, the other side has Great Warlocks.”
Great Warlocks were at the peak of Turandot Subcontinent. Just a single Great Warlock could raze a small princ.i.p.ality like Fernandro Princ.i.p.ality.
Forces that have and forces that don’t have Great Warlock rank experts overseeing them shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence.
Yang Feng said with a slight smile: “Steel City has secret weapons capable of contending with Great Warlocks.”
Leimix felt startled within. His eyes flashed with a touch of determination and he said through clenched teeth: “Alright, I’ll do as you say.”
The matter with Blitz would have to be dealt in the future, while Yang Feng was right here and now. Steel City’s mechanized infantry division wasn’t something that Fernandro Family could deal with; therefore, Leimix couldn’t make any other choice.
Before long, a group led by a level-1 Warlock stormed the hotel that Weaver and delegation resided, killing all of his guards.
Several days later, Weaver’s corpse had arrived at St. Kaulin City.
After seeing Weaver’s corpse, the entire St. Kaulin City was fuming with rage.
St. Kaulin City’s, bouleuterion of the council of elders, the huge s.p.a.ce capable of accommodating thousands of people was already at full capacity.
In the wake of the Holly War between humans and the allied forces from the under world’s races, those Warlocks that were traveling outside, searching for opportunities and exploring all kinds of ancient ruins had already returned to Warlock College Antalya.
Scarlet Hands Blitz was sitting in the seat of honor, beside him sat tens of formidable level-3 Warlocks faintly diffusing traces of terrifying fluctuations of power.
