Chapter 137 (2/2)

An evil smile broke out on Kaunitz’s face before he continued to ask in a soft tone, “Then do you know where he was headed to?”

Just then, the young boy who had shown Fang Xingjian the way earlier slapped off Kaunitz’s hand which was holding the girl’s hand, and stood in front of her, “How do we know that you guys are his comrades? And if you are, then why would you need to ask where he was headed to? Don’t you even know this?”

Hand at his chin, Kaunitz looked at the people before him, gave it some thought and then suddenly smiled again.

“Originally, I just wanted to come up with a lie.

“But after some thought, I realized that you guys are just commoners. You are not even worth to be lied to by me. ”

Kaunitz stood up slowly and coldly asked, “Where did that b*stard head off to?”

Everyone present immediately tensed up. The white-bearded old man trembled as he made his way up, saying, “Lord, that Knight had left just like that. We really do not know where he went.”

With a pfft sound, Kaunitz blew on his fingers and a hole was made through the elderly man’s head as he fell to the ground. It seemed as easy as killing a lamb or cow to him.

Rebecca and the others stood behind him, completely indifferent to what had just happened.

This was the Miracle World. In this era, which was even darker than the Middle Ages, these villagers and commoners were no better than lambs or cows in the eyes of aristocrats such as Kaunitz.

“Each time I ask, I’ll kill one person.” Kaunitz let out a faint smile and said, “Where did that b*stard go?”

With another pfft sound, another person fell.

Some people screamed out, thinking of escaping, “Noooo!”

There were people who dropped to their knees, “I beg of you, my lord, please spare us. We really don’t know anything.”

Amidst the panic and chaos, the little boy clenched his fists, his pupils unceasingly contracting and expanding, as if he had entered a state of contradiction.

Kaunitz’s gaze landed on him, and with a smile, he appeared behind the little boy. He pat the boy on his shoulders, whispering next to his ears, “You seem to know something.”

The young boy trembled suddenly, saying, “I… I don’t know anything.”

But how could a boy of ten years or so hide from Kaunitz and from the First Prince within Kaunitz? He patted the boy on the shoulder and with a pffft, another old lady dropped to the floor.

The boy shivered and cold sweat covered him yet again. Terrified cries kept ringing in his ears accompanied by Kaunitz’s voice,like a devil’s croon, asking, “The one behind you, is she your younger sister?”

“Don’t!

Kaunitz grabbed his youngster sister. The red silhouette was like a ghost, suddenly appearing ten meters away. Looking at the boy’s nervous expression, he grinned, “I’m asking one last time.” His palm caressed the little girl’s head as he asked, “Where did he go?”

The boy was but a kid of ten years or so. How could he possibly bear experiencing such a catastrophe and facing such great pressure? He dropped to his knees right there, making great efforts to speak out, “He… he went to… Kremlin Coast.”

Kaunitz smiled, “You’re clever for not lying to me.”

The next moment, the girl in his grasp turned into a ball of flames, and in less than a second, she turned into ashes.

“Ahhh!”

The young boy cried out, his eyes wide open and the blood vessels in his neck all popping up. He charged towards Kaunitz, but at the next moment, he was lit up by a spark, nothing but ashes left of him, in the blink of an eye.

The slaughter started and ended at that same moment. Kaunitz nodded. This time around, their secret operation had not respected the Empire’s laws. So how could they not wipe out all witnesses?

Moreover, doing it here would allow them to conveniently push the blame onto the Black Devils.

Rebecca spoke up, “That little b*stard really did go to chase Mumukeya. Kaunitz. The person you prepared also followed the troops and is heading in the same direction, right?”

“Of course.” A twisted expression appeared on Kaunitz’s face. “This time around, there’s no escape for him. He is just a Windstorm Sword Hero who has barely transitioned three months ago. But even if he suddenly surged to first transition level 19, he will still be dead meat.”

“Hmmm?” The First Prince in his body let out a dissatisfied cold grunt.

Kaunitz immediately reacted, and channelled his thoughts to the First Prince, “Of course, he won’t really die. After receiving our ‘great hospitality’, he will only fully bow down to you, becoming your most loyal dog, your most docile blade. I promise.”
