Chapter 753: Chapter 684: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes_2
On the wild road, the train clattered along, and after more than half a day, it burrowed into a city through the opening in the thick city walls.
This iron city standing in the border wasteland is Black Fla City, with cannons mounted at intervals on the city walls, nacing any would-be invaders.
“City Lord, I heard you were attacked on the way.”
“Just a bunch of petty thieves. Gray, lock the captives from the train in the dungeons and wait for my disposal.”
“Then—”
“No need to do unnecessary things, I have it under control.”
Gray, the chief guard of Black Fla City, had already beco a confidant of the City Lord, considered as a mber outside the Black Star Legion. He was well aware of the City Lord’s true power and wasn’t worried about the City Lord being injured.
What concerned him more was the internal spies around him, he must conduct a thorough investigation.
However, Savammi wasn’t willing to act recklessly, so he temporarily let it go.
What he didn’t know was that the reason Savammi was acting this way was to confirm if those behind the scenes would choose to lay low or openly confront upon receiving the new information.
This was very important to Savammi.
Indeed, Savammi had already interrogated the captives on the train, employing so other thods taught by the Divine Venerable. He knew who the mastermind behind this attack was, which was not much different from his guesses.
Two days passed in a blur.
That morning, a large troop arrived at the gates of Black Fla City, but as it was not yet the designated ti to open the gates, this group was naturally blocked outside.
“Are you blind!”
“Look carefully, this is the second young master from the Virginia Duke family. Open the gates and welco us imdiately.”
Gray, who rushed over upon hearing the news, fixed his gaze, noticing that the noble riding the unicorn indeed sowhat resembled the City Lord, but was far less imposing.
Seeing Gray’s monkey-like deanor, the people below cursed again.
“Are you deaf? You’re the Captain Gray, right? Open the gates quickly, or you’ll be in trouble.” The group below was clearly prepared, knowing even the details about Gray.
“What’s all the noise? Without the City Lord’s order, no one can open the gates early. Be careful or I’ll bomb you with cannons.”
“I don’t care who you are, step back, all of you, at least five hundred ters back, standing at the gate like that is unacceptable.”
Gray didn’t indulge the other party, scolding back on the spot. With his gesture, many cannons on the city wall adjusted their angles, all aid at the group below.
Whatever the second young master of the Virginia Duke family was, it didn’t matter here. He only listened to Savammi’s orders.
This statent left the faces below darkened, and soone gave a subtle signal towards the city wall.
“Commander, this really is the second young master of the Duke’s family, Tiedeng Virginia, I’ve seen this man from afar before, should we open the gates to let them in first, considering he’s the City Lord’s younger brother?”
“Kerr, are you sure?”
“Yes, I’m very sure.”
The city guard captain nodded without hesitation. As soon as he finished speaking, he was t with a fierce kick from Gray, flying a distance and falling to the ground, grimacing in pain.
“I hate traitors the most. Detain him, and I’ll report to the City Lord before further action.”
“Brute!”
The scene on the city wall fell into the eyes of the people below, and seeing that Gray was serious, the group thought for a mont before choosing to temporarily retreat, simply staying away from the city walls.
They didn’t want to be stared at like criminals.
“Young Master Tiedeng, no need to be upset, wait until we enter the city, then we’ll settle this.”
“Do you think Savammi has noticed sothing?”
“So what if he has? Everything he has was obtained with the help of the Virginia family, Young Master Tiedeng naturally deserves a share.”
“That’s right, without the family, Savammi wouldn’t have everything he has today.”
From their conversation, it was clear that the second young master of Virginia had co to reap the benefits, whether it be the train, the new city, the new vein, or even the Duke’s position; too many interests were at stake.
Too many people didn’t want to see Savammi on the rise.
After waiting for more than an hour, Tiedeng and his group finally entered Black Fla City, heading straight for the City Lord’s Residence.
“Dear Hayden, I’m not happy you could co to see your elder brother so quickly. Better obediently stay with in the cell for so ti.”
“What?”
Upon reaching the City Lord’s Residence, before Hayden could make a move, the previously soft-tempered Savammi exploded first.
Hayden was montarily stunned by what he heard, and when he snapped back to reality, he found the elder brother already donned in armor, transford into a fierce iron tiger, striding towards them.
“City Lord, how majestic!”
Gray, who followed along, saw it and his eyes shone brightly. Without saying a word, he opted to assist the City Lord, having long wished to thrash these disgusting guys.
“Bastard! You struck first.”
Hayden wasn’t easy to deal with either, being the inheritor of Virginia’s divine armor, he soon transford into an iron rhino, appearing equally matched with the opposing giant tiger.
Unlike him, others’ iron armors could only partly transform, far smaller in size.
After the clash began, the iron tiger struck with a paw from the left and another from the right, those blocking it couldn’t withstand, all being knocked to the sides.
Next ca the iron rhino, when it showed up, it was similarly slapped away, dazed by the heavy tiger paw.
Hayden was bewildered by the paw strike.
Sothing’s not right!
How could the armor inheritance obtained outside by his elder brother compare to the family’s divine armor?
Before he could figure this out, the iron tiger advanced, slapping down with another paw, knocking him completely unconscious, others quickly followed suit.
Thus a farce ended.
After repairs and cleanup at the City Lord’s Residence, it was as if nothing had ever happened.
Ti passed day by day.
“The third brother is smarter than the second. He knows not to casually step into soone else’s domain, even if that person is his brother.”
Many days later, the person Savammi truly waited for still hadn’t arrived, leaving him both disappointed and sowhat relieved.
He’s a grateful person, no matter how the Duke’s family disregarded him, his identity was still the legitimate eldest son, with life superior to 99% of people in this world.
He had long seen clearly that too much effort was invested in the second and third brothers by the Duke’s residence, and there was no place for him there.
Moreover, his vision had broadened now, with the protection of the Divine Venerable, he no longer needed the Duke’s small support. Of course, a prerequisite was the Duke’s family not eyeing his belongings.
“Brother Savammi, Father is here, aren’t you going to quickly co with to welco him outside the city.”
A month later, the third brother still appeared in Black Fla City, even bringing the old Virginia Duke, looking proud.
This sowhat caught Savammi off guard.
These people were indeed aggressive, leaving no room for retreat, sharing the sa surna and family, why couldn’t they stand seeing him rise again?
“Brother Savammi, you’re not going to see Father, are you?” Seeing his gloomy face, Wild continued.
“Go tell Father, I’ll be waiting for him at the City Lord’s Residence, this matter should co to an end.” Savammi shook his head slowly, speaking with unusual seriousness.
“Alright, you’re gutsy, I’ll listen to you this ti, Savammi.”
For so reason, Wild had an inexplicable bad premonition after hearing this, but he soon dismissed it, cheerfully heading outside the city.
One can imagine the Virginia Duke will erupt in rage, a furious Duke at the ‘Saint Realm’ level will likely shake this entire city.
There’s good drama to watch!
Savammi understood this as well, but before the Divine Venerable, he was determined to perform well, even if the Virginia Duke, whom he once feared the most, ca.
