Chapter 273: Chapter 263: The Vow of Revenge!
“Lord Aldrich!”
When the battle ended, Byrne and Chris had hurried over from a distance. As soon as they arrived, they heard “Mr. Brandy” speak and knew this man definitely had no good intentions.
They couldn’t let him continue speaking. Although there was no evidence, it would inevitably make Aldrich and Zayne overthink.
The situation was dire, Byrne’s mind raced, trying to speak up and urge Aldrich to quickly kill that man.
“You’ve arrived,”
Aldrich gave Byrne and Chris a glance, then he heard the man in the white tailcoat continue to speak.
“The Songster will eventually descend upon this world, and all other false gods will utterly perish.”
“All beings will obtain eternal peace in Tranquility.”
“Lord Aldrich, actually, the Fischer family they…”
Byrne’s expression changed!
This was bad!
Suddenly, Aldrich’s body manifested Obsidian-like scales, and in an instant, he unleashed immense power of Bloodline, managing to blow up “Mr. Brandy’s” body!
“Mr. Brandy” used spiritual power to restore his body quickly, but Aldrich blew him up again and again without stopping, even as his opponent was on the brink of death.
In the end, the Monarch powerful expert of the Words of Tranquility Order, “Mr. Brandy,” was completely killed in front of them.
Not even an intact corpse was left behind.
Everyone was stunned.
Whether it was Byrne or Zayne, even Chris, none of them had expected Aldrich to act so decisively, abruptly killing a Monarch powerful expert right there.
The two surviving members of the Words of Tranquility Order were dumbfounded.
“Since what you were about to say is unfavorable to the Fischer family, better not say it… Remember, never say anything superfluous, because I absolutely do not want to listen,” Aldrich said calmly. Since the families had formed an alliance through The Oath, he did not want to know too much, as it would greatly affect the various relationships within the alliance.
Those secrets might not bring any future benefits, but they were highly likely to damage existing beneficial relationships.
After all, every major family has its dirty secrets. It’s not certain that the allies do not spy on one another, but actually knowing those secrets face to face would definitely be extremely awkward.
Byrne heaved a huge sigh of relief, the numerous lies and misleading stories he had been concocting in his head went unused.
He was truly grateful to Aldrich.
Aldrich’s thoughts were clear and simple; he wanted to avoid any rifts between the allied families, no matter what dark secrets the Fischer family held, he had no need to know them.
The Romann family only needed Byrne Fischer’s special abilities and the future support of the Fischer family’s influence.
Nor could he ever guess just how terrifying and exaggerated the true secret of the Fischer family was; at most, he only thought it involved dealings with the heretical cult, just like the Romann family.
To this day, the Fischer family was still transporting Forbidden rare artifacts for the Romann family.
Aldrich raised his hand, casually executed the two remaining members of the Words of Tranquility Order without turning his head to look at Byrne and Chris, and said calmly:
“You don’t need to explain anything, Byrne, I won’t be curious about your secrets. After all, each of us has secrets… As long as we can confirm they are from the Words of Tranquility, there’s no need to keep them alive.”
“Thank you, Lord Aldrich,” Byrne took a deep breath.
“Hmm.”
Zayne also nodded his head, since Aldrich said so, let it be.
But he couldn’t help questioning, “But you killed them all, what if they had some special arrangements? And you didn’t find out the exact purpose of this group, right?”
“No worries, Zayne, one of my Mysterious rare artifacts can manipulate the bodies of those who have just passed away, and then I can ask three questions.”
“Its only drawback is that it can only work on bodies killed by my own hands.”
Aldrich slowly extended his right hand, as a gray-white ring lit up with a faint glow.
Such a convenient thing, Byrne thought deeply. Aldrich’s reserves of Mysterious rare artifacts were truly vast, almost like one person could match the entire Fischer family.
He sincerely didn’t know what the Stars Mortal, Ariel, was thinking, to actually compete with such a character for the position of heir.
With a dark and spooky light igniting, one after another, the corpses of the members of the Words of Tranquility Order slowly stood up. They had hoped to find peace after death, but now they were disturbed and suffered immensely, wailing in agony.
Afterward, they were forced to answer Aldrich’s targeted questions one by one.
“Across the city, we’ve drawn special patterns to activate Arrays for a great ritual…”
As they received the most crucial answer, everyone’s expression slightly changed, the ultimate effect of a city-wide heretical ritual was certainly terrifying.
After pondering for a moment, Aldrich spoke:
“According to the oath made in the valley, the Romann family is to help the Fischer family. Your Excellency Bain, I found some Mysterious rare artifacts on these heretics, you can pick first.”
He paused briefly and continued:
“If you choose the Forbidden rare artifact, then all the other items are ours.”
“Alright.”
