Chapter 286: Leo’s secret being revealed part 1 (1/2)

Every important member from the Williams Noble Household, including the Will Noble Household, has already meet with Barbara once. It was back at that time when they have first joined the Black organization, which was also the exact moment Barbara the Perfect Disguise was given the status of a Vice-president of Black organization.

At that time, because the Williams Noble House joining the Black organization and Barbara's recognition was given at the same time, Barbara decided that it must be Fate and hence took the Williams Noble Household under her wings, meaning they became one of her men.

When they became one of Barbara's men, she then gave the Williams Noble Household a necklace which was the necklace Paul is currently wearing right now.

”How did your Excellency, Barbara, suddenly arrived here?” Timothy quickly asked.

”Indeed! The Silver Kingdom is located at the very edge of the continent,” Jacob added.

”F*ck, that's not the important problem here, stupid brothers!” Arvin roared in anger at Timothy and Jacob before quickly rushing towards Barbara to help her. ”Your Excellency, Barbara, what happened to you?”

”Cough! Is this the Williams Noble Household?” Barbara coughed a mouthful of blood before standing up straight and shooting everyone a sharp glare.

Arvin who was coming to help Barbara stand up was stopped mid-motion as he can't move his body. He could only nod his head in confirmation of Barbara's question.

”Who's the leader here?” Barbara suddenly changed her question.

”I... I am...” Paul proclaims with fear evident in his voice. Although they were one of Barbara's men, in Black organization it was pretty normal to kill their own men once they are displeasing in their eyes.

”Cough! Why didn't any of you come to help us at the Southern Fortress?” Barbara asked while staring at the now trembling Paul.

”We... we...” Paul really wanted to reply, but the pressure his feeling right now was beyond what his body could handle, hence affecting his body's movement.

”Answer me!!” Barbara roared out, causing the entire palace to experience a short earthquake.

”W... we were blocked by the Blacksmoke Noble Household, and even if we can defeat them, we would still need to face either the Heart city or the Southwest Fortress. Regard... regardless of what choice we choose, we would still not b... be able to help,” Paul was having a hard time replying due to nervousness and fear.

”So you meant to say is, we can't help you so it's not our problem?!” Barbara exclaimed in anger while a powerful Magic power was bursting out from her body along with very heavy pressure, causing everyone's body to lower down to the floor. Although she was seriously injured right now, a bunch of Mages in the Star level were still something she can easily handle, or more appropriately, she can easily squash them like squashing ants.

”We...” Paul wanted to explain, but the moment he opened his mouth, a more powerful pressure pressed on his body, immediately making his entire body lay down on the floor.

”Excuses, excuses, excuses,” Barbara said while slowly walking towards Paul, who's looking at her fearfully. The moment she arrived in front of him, she put her hand on Paul's chin before suddenly pulling him up, ”Is this the so-called loyalty that your parents have sworn to me?”

”No... no...” Paul quickly replied.

”Oh, then what is it?” Barbara asked.

”This...”

Without waiting for Paul to reply, Barbara suddenly stabbed his heart using only her hand. And what followed after was Paul's entire life force being drained by Barbara.

”Atone for your sin with your life!” Barbara said as she let go of Paul, who's eyes were begging for mercy.

Noticing that Barbara wouldn't help him, Paul turned to look at his 3 brothers. What he saw after though finally made him give up on struggling because Arvin, Timothy, and Jacob were all looking away, afraid that Barbara might do the same thing to them if they show any hint that they care about him.

In Paul's mind right now, he can't help but hope to go back in time and tell his parents not to join the Black organization. Unfortunately, time wasn't something that people like him could control, so his hope is sadly going to the grave with him.

When all of Paul's life force was completely consumed by Barbara, Paul finally died, full of regrets and desire to live.

Noticing such a strong desire to live, Barbara can't help smiling before putting her hand up in front of her as a Dark Magic circle appeared, ”Night Bringer!”

Whooooosh!
