Chapter 111: Whos more cunning? (1/2)

”Stop!” Elora cried, her eyes widened in shock and fear for her brother's safety. She could not bear to see him in such a condition either.

”Haha, if you want your brother, come, take him by yourself.” Ish mocked and kicked Kadyn in the abdomen and pressed his feet on his head. While staring at their group with a mocking expression.

Elora gritted her teeth and stepped outside the shop. Others sighed and followed her. They could not let her go alone and fight with her enemies by herself. ”Stay away from him!” she said with a cold tone. However, others just laughed; she was helpless, as she had no offensive spell and could not attack them even though her belly was full of fire. She wanted to burn them alive for what they had done to her brother, her face was red in anger.

”Hahaha, they are out!” a peal of laughter came from behind everyone, and Llyris the so-called second lord of House Wynner walked towards them, grinning. Beside him stood four more figures: two of them were middle-aged men while two looked rather old with white hair and beard, with weak looking bodies and frail skin. However, no one dared to look down at them, after all, they could stand side by side with Llyris. A top Rank 1 mage.

Llyris stared at the people in front of him mockingly and then his gaze stopped over Elora. ”You should have listened to your elders, girl. Now, everyone would die just because of your stupidity.”

”Release my brother!” Elora squealed at him.

”Oh, you're talking about him,” he pointed at the man on the ground, covered in blood, limbs broken and clothes tattered, twitching helplessly. Llyris grinned. ”He is not your brother.”

Everyone widened their eyes and stared once more toward the body on the ground. Elora snorted. ”Do you think I'm blind? He's my brother. Release him this instant!”

”Look again, and this time more carefully,” the man chuckled as if he was looking at his most favourite play.

Elora's face clouded with confusion hearing his words and she once more looked at the body on the ground. Then Kadyn's figure started to vanish. ”Wha-what's happening here?” everyone was baffled when they saw such a scene; in no time, Kadyn's entire body had vanished completely. There was nothing left in front of them, except cobblestones and dirt and grass here and there, and the people who kicked him just now also vanished. Everything was an illusion.

At this moment, a man walked out from behind five Rank 1 mages. ”What a disappointment.” He shook his head. ”You ask me to make a move by myself for just this bunch of clowns.” His gaze roamed each of the figures in front of him.

”Leader, where is that brat?” Llyris asked. ”I can't find him.”

”I couldn't find him in the shop, or at least, my perception failed to detect him. Are you sure he is inside?” He looked at Llyris in confusion.

”We've confirmed it. He should be inside the shop.” Llyris said with an uncertain expression.

”You can't even handle a single task decently,” Enwyld Wynner snorted disdainfully at his brother's incompetence. Llyris flushed in embarrassment and clenched his fist into hatred as a vicious glare flash through his eyes. He had endured his big brother's mockery since young, but he could not do anything about it. After all he was the weaker one, and power was everything in this world. Furthermore, Enwyld was now House Leader. There was no match between them. So he swallowed his humiliation.

”Anyways,” Enwyld began, ”Now, we have his sister, and according to what I've heard from the rumours, he is very fond of her. He won't let her die like that, would he?”

Their group chuckled as they peered at Elora and others as if they were nothing but lambs at the chopping board. Barret came out of his shock and shouted towards others. ”This was a trap. Move inside, hurry!”
