Chapter 185: Chapter 177: Sunshine Everywhere

Byrne took a deep breath, gazing at the figure of “Solar Gold,” and he still clearly remembered the words Viscount Bast had said to him.

“Do you know, Byrne, that hiding a grain of sand in a desert makes it impossible to find?”

“If you want to kill a few people without anyone knowing, the best way is to start a fire without motive, leveling the whole street to the ground.”

He certainly understood the meaning behind Viscount Bast’s words.

To keep the Lion clan from being suspected of killing Zavier and others, enough people had to die at the wedding banquet so that everyone would realize that the perpetrator was not solely targeting the Eagle clan and certainly couldn’t be from the Lion clan.

Therefore, a lot of people would die at the upcoming wedding banquet.

Byrne quietly watched “Solar Gold’s” movements and suddenly noticed that the expressionless man was also looking in his direction.

He had been noticed.

If it had been the old him, his heart would have fluctuated, but at this moment Byrne simply smiled calmly and walked forward, looking fearlessly at the Monarch Level powerful expert.

“Hello, I have always had an excellent memory, and I can remember most of the nobility on the East Coast, but I don’t seem to have ever seen you. Are you also a guest invited here?”

Instead of deliberately evading, he took the initiative to strike up a conversation with “Solar Gold” and even questioned his identity.

Byrne knew that Viscount Bast had given “Solar Gold” a portfolio in advance, within which some individuals were marked as those he absolutely had to kill, while others were those he must not.

Members of the Fischer family were definitely among the latter, and he was no exception.

If “Solar Gold” killed someone he was not supposed to according to the portfolio, he would be breaking The Oath, forfeiting his reward and suffering divine punishment.

So no matter what he said, he would not be in danger as long as he remained calm and “Solar Gold” did not recognize that he was “Mithril.”

No matter what, Byrne did not want to reveal his true identity in front of this extremely dangerous bishop.

The tall figure of “Solar Gold,” nearly two meters in height, slowly bent down to look into Byrne’s eyes, as if confirming his target.

His voice was magnetic and very steady.

“Respected Lord Byrne Fischer, I am a spice merchant who travels throughout Cyart, John. My family’s caravans have always conducted business with the Leone family, and having recently come to the East Coast Province from another province, I just happened to receive Viscount Bast’s wedding invitation.”

“It’s normal that you don’t recognize me, given that I only come to the East Coast Province once every few years and, by nature, am not part of your circle.”

“Solar Gold” calmly explained his situation. Spice merchant John was a false identity Viscount Bast has painstakingly prepared over a decade, and nobody could find any flaws in it.

“I see, it’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. John. Since you’re a friend of the Leone family, you are also my friend.”

Byrne nodded slightly, smiling as he clinked champagne glasses with “Solar Gold” before politely turning to leave.

“Look!”

Accompanied by cheers, the bride and groom from both families had made their appearance, and all eyes were focused on the two, with many fully absorbed in watching this historic moment.

Meanwhile, Byrne, along with Chris and Vanessa, had already moved to a distant corner ahead of time.

He knew that now all he had to do was wait.

Upon reaching the corner, Chris too quickly sensed something was off. He saw a certain gleam in Byrne’s eyes as if the events about to unfold required vigilance to handle.

So he squeezed Vanessa’s wrist, silently conveying his thoughts.

Vanessa gave a slight start, then nodded gently.

“Solar Gold,” tall and imposing, slowly pushed through the crowd, stepping forward, his face expressionless as he observed the people around him.

He finally stood still, calmly extending his hand towards the sky, while those around him instinctively looked at “Solar Gold” who was making the gesture, showing confused expressions, totally unaware of what the man was about to do.

Nearly a thousand people had gathered around the country estate, and among those standing near “Solar Gold,” intently watching the wedding ceremony, there were indeed hundreds.

He would confine the range of his power.

As the wedding ceremony continued, the bride and groom had reached the most conspicuous stage, standing in front of Acting Bishop Zayne.

Zayne, smiling, spoke gravely to the couple:

“Under the witness and blessing of the vast Tempest Overlord, you are about to become a loving husband and wife. I know that you will be responsible for each other’s families, and for this country, and that a century later, you will also express your gratitude devoutly to the deities, for their majestic protection has kept you unharmed throughout your lives.”

Viscount Bast narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Many around him wore smiles on their faces, even relieved, feeling that the East Coast Province was on the verge of complete peace.

The towering “Solar Gold” watched everything with an expressionless face, completely out of sync with the cheerful atmosphere, and a faint golden light suddenly appeared in the palm of his hand.

“Hmm?”

Ariel Romann, standing dozens of meters away, suddenly turned her head, fixing her gaze on “Solar Gold’s” position.
