Chapter 388 - Chapter 388: Chapter 368 My Name is Bast (2/2)

“`

The alcohol slid down his throat, bringing a hint of spiciness and bitterness.

He stared at the reflection in his wine glass, which seemed to mirror the loneliness deep in his heart, as well as the regrets from the past that he could not let go of.

“So many people in the family have died over these ten years, not just because of the Calamity of the Dead, but also the rebellion stirred up by the Stars Embrace Order, and that murder by Chris…”

Marquis Vlad trembled with anger and fear, even flames starting to burn upon his body!

Chris Fischer!

You low-life, disguising as an ordinary person to assassinate my family members, I will forever despise your soul!

The ancient portraits and weapons hung on the walls around him, each bearing the history and glory of the castle, but now they all seemed colorless and blurred in his eyes.

Marquis Vlad tried to find some solace in alcohol, but the more he drank, the more lucid he became, his worries and sorrows overwhelming him like a tide.

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

He crushed the wine glass, closed his eyes, and took a trembling deep breath, trying to calm the tumult in his heart.

However, those memories of loss and missed opportunities were like sharp blades, carving deep and irreparable scars in his heart.

And at that moment, a voice sounded.

“Go to Nasir.”

When had a second person appeared in the wine room?

Marquis Vlad looked over and saw a person wrapped in a black cloak and said with furrowed brows:

“Who are you?”

He could clearly feel that the other person was an Extraordinary Exponent at the Monarch Level, albeit just a low-level Monarch, still weaker than himself.

The person under the black cloak let out a cold laugh.

“Bast Leone, my lord Marquis, you definitely don’t recognize this name, because I am now an unknown nobody, hardly worth mentioning in the presence of the powerful Fischer family, although I believe they will never forget me.”

“However, I am already a member of the Words of Tranquility, and you need to join us, too.”

Marquis Vlad’s face showed a tyrannical sneer as he chuckled, “You mean the Words of Tranquility, hahaha! But I have no interest in collaborating with those who lurk in the shadows!”

“Very well, then let me reveal my true face.”

The cloak was as night itself, tightly enshrouding his body, and after he removed it to reveal a pale and lifeless face, with hollow and profound eyes that seemed to penetrate the nature and soul of all things.

His skin emanated a faint blue glow, the unique hue granted by death, which instantly conveyed the chill of the netherworld.

Marquis Vlad’s eyes widened in shock!

“A Wraith!”

Bast Leone smiled as he pulled out a rune stone from his body, from which an indifferent voice came.

“This is an order, Marquis Vlad.”

It was the voice of the New King of Siyate, and Marquis Vlad recognized it instantly.

“I see, so it’s true, the Adley Royal Family is now under the control of the Words of Tranquility? Heh, how unsurprising that is.”

Marquis Vlad closed his eyes and fell into deep thought, remaining silent for a long time.

Bast clapped his hands calmly and said, “Why do you hesitate? This matter has already been settled, your family and the Fischer family, no matter what, only one will survive.”

“Or rather, perhaps neither will survive!”

Marquis Vlad suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the persuader, this so-called “unknown nobody” who had a very special aura about him.

He, most certainly, should not be just an unknown nobody!

“Do you also have a grudge against the Fischer family?”

Bast was silent for a while before revealing a smile that was cruel, desperate, and fearsome.

“It’s a long story.”
