Maynard could barely whisper. He was poisoned, and he only knew of one poison strong enough to do that. Crow"s feet. How the h.e.l.l did they get their hands on something so powerful? While it could theoretically kill a level twenty or higher over a long period of time there is an antidote for it. Hence when somebody uses that poison, they can run even a level twenty through quite easily as a level fifteen, which was what exactly happened. He knew he was dying and there was no way he could be saved. The worst was he didn"t have any real allies. Like Angus, he ruled with a certain amount of fear, but most of all he just wanted their money so he could live a lavish life. Karma came around and bit him. The only guy he ever trusted was his strategist but thanks to the final magistrate he knew his power was gone as well.Adrian twisted the dagger for good measure and ripped it out. It was all done so covertly that all Adrian had to do was gently lay the man back down. Adira took this moment to distract Joftel who was on the other side of the hall keeping a watch over proceedings, but he had a sharp eye. He noticed the dimming light in Maynard"s eye. He could only smile, his life of bending the knee was at an end. He was always forced to do the things Maynard needed to be done, due to a ma.s.sive debt he acc.u.mulated. He looked at Adira and smiled, "Thank you, now I can finally leave this G.o.dforsaken h.e.l.l hole."
Adira smiled, "So you noticed. You aren"t going to retaliate?"
"The only reason I haven"t retaliated myself is due to the fact that that man was a level twenty-one and I am a level fifteen. You guys figured out a way to kill him with little conflict. I call that a win-win. So, what now?"
Radley sat quietly to the side enjoying some cold-cut meats and some mead. One of the few things he actually enjoyed. A popup came up. It was the motherlode of achievements. Achievement achieved: Doing the impossible: Defeat beings fifteen levels or higher than the host by any means possible. 50 000 Invo points. 20 diff points. Achievement achieved: My tenth achievement. 10x5000=50 000 Invo points. 10 Diff points achieve ten achievements. Multi achievements achieved: 10 000 Invo points for each achievement. 10 000x3 = 30 000 5 Diff points for each achievement 5x3=15. Quest completed: Due to the high risk of the quest user had received fifty percent bonus Invo points and diff points. 75 000 Invo points, 30 Diff points. Radley stood there transfixed looking at his new rewards then a sudden surge of pain brought him to his knees. Elita was standing next to him as she saw him fall. She feared the worst as she noticed the steam. This scared the living h.e.l.l out of her. She is witnessing another level up from Radley! How does he keep doing that!
Maynard"s strategist whispered into his ear but only then realized he was dead. This sent him into an immediate panic as he checked his pulse. It must have happened when he turned around for a moment to greet someone.

He stood up and shouted at the top of his lungs, "WHO DARE KILL OUR BELOVED MAGISTRATE!"
The entire crowd roared in laughter, "THIS ISN"T A LAUGHING MATTER!!!"
A random person shouted from the crowd, "Oh, but it is! It"s his greed that started this war in the first place! If it wasn"t for him there would have been no war. Finally, some really good news!"
This reaction surprised even Adrian who thought he might have turned the ma.s.ses against him. The strategist wasn"t having any of it, "THE COUNCIL WILL HAVE ALL YOUR HEADS FOR THIS!"
Again, the entire group laughed as Joftel appeared in front of the Strategist, "You"re an idiot if you think the people care about the council."
"These people killed the personally selected magistrates of the council!"
"For a guy that is supposedly supposed to be smart, you really are dumb. The council wants their money and couldn"t care less. All the magistrates are, are agents that reinforce the rules that the council set up. At best there will be an investigation, no one is going to tattle. So that will be a dead end. Your position currently means nothing. You lost the bit of influence you had."
Joftel moved faster than the strategist could react as a sword stabbed through his throat, "With this, my debt is cleared."
This time it was Adira who was surprised.
Adira walked up to him, "You do know I have to take you in. I am still a magistrate."
"The rules fell to s.h.i.t when this war was still a thing."
She slapped him real hard as he was sent flying. She walked up to him and gave him a hand, "Punishment served."
His jaw was pretty badly dislocated but he laughed it off none the less. The night wore on as there was even a time when a really uncomfortable orgy went on. Radley decided to head back to the B&B to sleep because he needed to get ready for the next day. He was going to leave again the following day. It was time to move on. Adrian caught him just as he was about to leave, "And where do you think you are going, young man?"
Radley turned to face whoever it was, "Oh Adrian. I just wanted to get an early night, and besides, that is making me super uncomfortable." He pointed towards the orgy.
Adrian laughed, "Well at least the girls didn"t see it because they already left."
Radley remembered the phone, "Oh yeah. I forgot to give this back."
He gave it to Adrian who refused it, "As I said before. Keep it. I need to look at proper funeral arrangements. Have you considered my offer by the way?"
"You mean your daughter?"
"Yes."
"I don"t think that"s a good idea. She needs proper experience with much higher-level accomplices. Not me. Tell you what. Give her some training first then send her my way. That way she can experience cohesive teamwork."
Adrian smiled, "Well then, don"t let me keep your bed waiting."
Radley nodded and waved goodbye.
