Book 8, The Ten Thousand Kilometer Journey – Chapter 28, Flower-Like Sisters

Dawn The air was clear and fresh

Ruskin [Luo’si’jin] was leading his two subordinates as they h speed in the direction of the ht

“I must make sure that we take excellent care of Lord Lale word froet us all proh “Unfortunately, it see extrele attendant to enter the manor”

As he was thinking these things, Ruskin walked to the gate

“What’s going on? The gate isn’t shut?” Ruskin frowned He knew that Lampson and the other lords were on a very important matter They definitely wouldn’t leave the door open

He entered the courtyard As he did, he felt that the courtyard was a bit too quiet

“Milords” Ruskin called out

But his voice echoed out in the courtyard without any response

“The two of you, look around for o upstairs and see what I can find” Ruskin had a very bad feeling about this He immediately headed to the second floor, where Lampson and the others’ rooms had been located

Every single door on the second floor was open None were closed

Entering Lampson’s room, Ruskin immediately frowned The bed was in a used state, clearly not made At the same time, at the head of the bed, there was a backpack

“This isn’t right”

Ruskin immediately entered another room Indeed, the bed there was also in a messy state, and a backpack was on a table As of yet, Ruskin hadn’t seen any probleht

“Lord Lampson didn’t even have the time to put on the backpack, and the same was true for the other lords as well Could it be that so Lord Lampson and the others to immediately depart?” Ruskin frowned

“Milord!” A frantic call from downstairs

Ruskin’s face changed, and he immediately rushed down the hallway, then jumped down directly from the balcony to the courtyard

“What is it?” Ruskin looked at his two subordinates

“Milord, there are bloodstains here” The two of them pointed at the wall

Originally, Zassler had ordered his undead minions to destroy all traces of the deceased Virtually all traces, including bloodstains, had indeed been removed But when the Blackcloud Panther, Haeru, had smashed open that Special Executor’s skull with one paw, blood had splattered everywhere Although those undead minions were very industrious and careful, there were still a few tiny traces re

“Bloodstains And the lords have all disappeared?”

Staring at the quiet courtyard, Ruskin felt as though an enorainst his chest “A battle occurred here As for the lords, could it be that they are in pursuit?”

Ruskin kne astonishi+ngly powerful the six of these lords were He didn’t believe that someone could kill these six lords

Ruskin instructed his two subordinates, “The two of you, head out immediately towards the provincial capital of Basil Report this news back”

“Yes!”

But before the two subordinates had even reached the provincial capital of Basil, Linley’s group had already encountered the second squad mid-way

“It’s the in sorass by the roadside

Zassler looked at the four knights surrounding a carriage Nodding, he said, “Right It’s thee”

“Inside the carriage?”

Linley frowned, then looked at Bebe “Bebe, I expect that the carriage will have uarding the girls as well Bebe, you are physically sh speed and kill those guards”

Zassler nodded “This squad should also have six people, all e”

“Did you hear that, Bebe? Kill the two hed as he rubbed Bebe’s head

Bebe hopped onto Linley’s shoulders, lifting his little head up confidently as he squeaked at Linley “Boss Have I, Bebe, ever let you down?”

Linley chortled lovingly

“Let’s do this” Linley said to him mentally

Bebe ie with his little eyes And then, he quietly snuck through the tall grass, drawing closer to the carriage…

Within the carriage, there were two beautiful, jade-haired identical twin sisters Their eyes were slightly red and swollen, and they were staring hatefully at the two men opposite of them

“You bastards” One of the two, the one whose eyes were slightly larger, cursed in a low voice

The two htest

“Rebecca [Li’be’ka], don’t curse anyy And to think, we believed in the Radiant Church all these years and prayed to the Lord to bring us happiness Who would’ve thought that they would be this vile” The other girl’s eyes were also filled with hatred

“Big sis” Rebecca miserably clutched at her older sister’s hand

Rebecca and Leena [Li’na] hailed from the 48 Anarchic Duchies They had followed their father in believing in the Radiant Sovereign, but ould’ve thought that the Radiant Church would kill their parents, then abduct them

With their parents dead, Rebecca and Leena were noithout family

And now, their future had turned to ashes They couldn’t see any hope

“Father Mother” Rebecca and Leena began to treht of their parents All these years, their parents had protected them, no matter how much chaos and war there had been in the Anarchic Lands

But this time…

“Leena Take your little sister and run” Their father had tightly held onto a combatant of the seventh rank at the lasta warrior of the fifth rank, their father had er

But unfortunately, the Radiant Church’s forces were too strong
