Chapter 414 - Chapter 414: Chapter 394 "Apostle of the Night" Promotion Ceremony (2/2)

“And then there is the Emperor of the Lorne people, His Majesty George Fryer who is called the ‘Supreme Monarch of the Ouden Continent, as well as the colonies of Pearl and Tuns’, but it is said that there are great conflicts between him and the current Prime Minister and the Iron Blood Marshal, a tripod stand that also represents the contradictions between the three parties.”

“There is also the last person, the long-standing Prime Minister of Lorne, the dominator of the Lorne Council for many years, and even for a time almost controlled the Lorne Empire, the ‘Diamond Man’ William Pitt, rumored to be one of the most powerful spellcasters in the world, possessing extremely exquisite spellcasting skills.”

After she finished speaking, she paused and continued:

“In fact, the strength of the Lorne Empire lies not only in these terrifying Extraordinary Exponents but in the advanced level of their overall civilization…”

“I’ve read many books from the Lorne Empire, their vision is extremely long-term, they have a natural great arrogance, even in the minds of many Lorne citizens, Cyart is just one of the small and insignificant countries, because it is not as large as their colonies on other continents, other worlds, so they never paid it any mind…”

“Our distance from the Lorne people is still too vast.”

Darren laughed haughtily, a hint of madness in his eyes, as he said, “That’s a good thing!”

“Because weakness is never a problem, whereas great arrogance will be the root of death, won’t it?”

Christine nodded gently and continued, “Anyway, let’s wait for my father to return first. As long as he successfully advances, at least Cyart will become something within our grasp.”

——

Emerald Lake Province, Wight City.

The Middell family, also known as the “Ruins Song Spirit”, is one of the several Extraordinary Nobility families of Cyart. The Family Head, Marquis Middell, is already a powerful Exponent at mid-level Monarch.

Apart from him, there is also a female in the family who is a Monarch Extraordinary Exponent.

In the dim corner of the manor’s study, light was fragmented by the heavy curtains, forming twisted and profound shadows, filled with an ominous aura.

Dressed in a white tailcoat, Marquis Middell, known as the “Ghost”, sat alone beside a large desk. The towering bookshelves, reaching to the clouds, could not conceal the intense unease in his heart.

“Chris…”

His eyes periodically swept across every corner of the study, each turn revealing extreme vigilance and fear.

It was a profound premonition of an unknown threat, as if an invisible assassin lurked in the darkness, approaching noiselessly. Marquis Middell’s fingers involuntarily clenched into fists, knuckles whitened from the force, betraying his inner tension and guard.

“Is it coming? Chris Fischer!”

He silently calculated possible escape routes and defense measures. Even though these thoughts flashed through his mind rapidly, they could not calm the deepest fears within his heart.

Not long ago, the Middell family issued a statement, still firmly supporting the Adley Royal Family of Southern Siyate and harshly condemning the king-slaying Fischer family and the Romann family.

Marquis Middell and his family had openly stated their position.

He thought long and hard before making such a decision.

It may have been a mad decision!

Because even the Cyart King had died on the East Coast!

Yet, Marquis Middell heard that the most troublesome Byrne was dead, and the Romann family had lost a “Blazing Fire” Amos. He understood that those two families were actually severely wounded.

So, he hoped to quickly integrate the other noble forces within Cyart, taking advantage of the two families’ lack of recovery, to jointly oppose the Fischer and Romann families.

However, after the declaration, there weren’t many who responded in Cyart, which greatly concerned Marquis Middell.

Finally, not long before, he discovered the figure of “Death God” Chris Fischer in Wight City through the city’s barrier!

It was the “Death God” who had assassinated the most nobles in over a hundred years of Cyart. Almost all nobility were terrified by his appearance, and even the powerful “Ghost” Marquis Middell was no exception!

As time passed, the atmosphere in the study became more oppressive, Marquis Middell’s heartbeat like a drum, each beat pounding his eardrums, making it impossible to ignore the imminent danger.

“I am now a mid-level Monarch… plus the barrier and the help of other family members, even the ‘Death God’ will be no match for me…”

“If he dares to appear, he will surely die.”

He tried to keep calm, attempting to find the assassin’s traces in the slightest clues, but there was nothing else to hear but his own breathing and heartbeat.

“Chris… are you really here?”

“Why do I have such a strong feeling, as if death has already come to my feet, ready to strike like a venomous snake and viciously bite my calf?”

In this long wait, Marquis Middell gradually realized something – perhaps no matter how much he prepared, he could not completely control the course of his fate.

If the information received not long ago was entirely true.

Then the Fischer and Romann families absolutely possessed terrifying trump cards, capable of eliminating a dozen Monarch Level powerful Exponents at the same time!

Even as a mid-level Monarch Extraordinary Exponent, perhaps he too could not escape death…

So, Marquis Middell took a deep breath, accepting his impending fate with an almost desperate stance.

Suddenly, the silver-haired man who had been hidden in the shadows for a long time, always expressionless, finally made his move!

“Death God” Chris Fischer!
