Chapter 494 - Chapter 494: Chapter 462: Ambushing Darren Fischer (2/2)
“After all, I’ve been so high-profile, and my identity is so important. They are very aware that the most effective way to break through is to kill me.”
Aldrich nodded slowly and said, “Although I don’t agree with the notion of ‘the most effective solution,’ it indeed has a higher chance of success. So, shall we just wait for them to take the bait?”
Darren also nodded and continued with a smile:
“Yes, if they choose another method, it would only mean I’ve made the wrong bet, or perhaps there’s some information we’re unaware of. At that time, we’ll have to play it by ear.”
He suddenly narrowed his eyes and said, “But according to the intelligence held by ‘Black Tide,’ Flamme’s favorite tactic is the decapitation strategy, so he will definitely come.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Aldrich had an epiphany and finally understood why Duke Darren was so confident. It was apparent that the “Black Tide” had thoroughly researched the Meyer family.
He gradually realized that Darren’s wisdom was no less than Byrne’s from the past.
Moreover, Aldrich couldn’t help but consider that this man before him was even more ruthless and crazed, posing a far greater danger than his father, Byrne.
He knew very well not to offend such a person.
Fortunately, our Romann family and the Fischer family are allies, not enemies.
“Ah, time…”
Aldrich couldn’t help but feel deeply moved; just a few decades ago, the Fischer family was nothing special, yet in just a few decades, the positions of the two families had almost completely reversed.
Now, the Fischer family, without a doubt, was about to become the backbone of the Romann family!
“Time is indeed filled with wonders. Its passing can change everything.”
Darren did not notice Aldrich’s thoughts but was absorbed in contemplation concerning Flamme Meyer.
This man could be said to be the Fischer family’s unseen mortal enemy!
For decades, starting with his grandfather Lucius, many members of the Fischer family and the Dawn Church had died because of the Meyer family, and now the chance for revenge was in his own hands!
He let out a chuckle, his eyes unabashedly filled with madness and anticipation.

Above the vast land, the twilight after a battle was like a silent painter using the sky as a canvas and light and shadows as brushes, slowly sketching out a painting that was both magnificent and poignant.
The setting sun, like a weary traveler, slowly sank into the horizon, the afterglow no longer dazzling but casting a pale golden-red hue over the land that had been baptized by war.
At this moment, Flamme Meyer along with many members of the Meyer family, and numerous Rhea nobles had already left the vicinity of Black Gold City.
The Monarch powerful experts left first, their formidable flying abilities making their mobility unmatched by other Extraordinary Exponents.
Based on intelligence, they successfully ambushed Darren, who was moving in his dragon form, thirty-five kilometers south of Black Gold City.
Seeing himself suddenly surrounded by four people from two directions, Darren, flying all by himself, couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Hahahahahaha, Rhea People! I haven’t even come looking for you yet! But here you are, coming to me on your own!”
Darren wore a black robe that clung tightly to his body; the robe did not flutter with the wind, as if even the air respected this quietness. He was surrounded by an indescribable aura of solitude and decisiveness.
His figure intermittently visible through the thin clouds, resembled a crazy and proud lone wolf, and even in adversity, his eyes still sparkled with a light that seemed to devour anyone it fixed upon.
The three Monarch powerful experts behind Flamme felt inevitably nervous at that gaze.
Only the “Blood Flames King” was fearless and expressionless.
“Darren Fischer, we finally meet… Patriarch of the Fischer family, the Cyart demon, the mortal enemy of all Rhea people,” Flamme said.
Flamme’s face was stern and resolute, his sharply defined features showing no expression, except in his eyes, deep as a cold pool, assessing the situation calmly.
“I’m glad to meet you here and resolve our fateful dispute.”
He bowed slowly, as if paying homage like a king of knights.
“Being able to reach this point under the gaze of fate, Darren Fischer, you and your family deserve my respect… worthy adversaries of the Meyer family all this time.”
Upon hearing this, Darren couldn’t help but burst into wild laughter, his tone devoid of any respect or honor, filled instead with the most naked of murderous intents and frenzy!
“Hahahahahaha! I’m also delighted to see you here, Flamme Meyer! I have been eagerly awaiting this day! Because now, I can tear your head off and feed your insides to your kinsmen!”
