Chapter 155 - Chapter 155: Chapter 148: The "Secret" of the Fischer Family (2/2)

“Salutations to you, Viscount Garcia!”

Many soldiers in the club stood up, their eyes filled with respect for this exemplary military figure.

Everyone was well aware that if it hadn’t been for his leadership in holding Black Mountain Town, the East Coast Province might have fallen during the Rhea People’s first assault!

During the war with the Rhea People, Viscount Garcia had even repeatedly ventured deep into enemy territory, successively assassinating three Rhea nobles and slaughtering multiple villages, carving out a fearsome reputation with his own hands.

Later, he also escaped the pursuit of a Monarch powerful expert for over a dozen days and nights, barely surviving to return to Cyart.

“We meet again, everyone.”

Viscount Garcia calmly nodded in greeting to the crowd.

Then he made his way to the VIP room of the Red Wine Club, seeking out an old friend of more than thirty years, someone who had once saved his life on the battlefield and faced a Monarch powerful expert together with him.

The owner of the Red Wine Club, “the most outstanding wine taster of the East Coast,” Mr. Samuel.

Samuel was an elderly man in black clothing, his white hair immaculately combed and his entire demeanor exceptionally elegant, the very image of decorum.

He held up a glass of red wine with a smile and said, “You haven’t visited in a long time, my friend.”

Viscount Garcia sat down beside him, picked up a cup of black coffee from the table, and without hesitation directly asked, “I’ve heard rumors about the Fischer family, do you know anything?”

He knew Samuel’s hidden identity; his old friend was also an important member of the secret organization “Black Eyes,” and might have key intelligence.

Samuel finished his wine with a smile and replied, “Are you referring to his relation with the Romann family?”

Viscount Garcia was silent for a moment before nodding, “Yes, I did hear some secret news regarding the Romann family, but I found it too incredible and simply couldn’t believe it.”

Some time ago, Viscount Garcia had bought intelligence from the secret organization “Black Eyes,” wanting to know what hidden power the Fischer family possessed.

What was the power that enabled them to turn peril into safety, time and again?

Then, he was stunned to learn that Byrne Fischer’s father, Lucius, was actually a lost member of the top-tier Romann family from East Coast Province!

Because it sounded too unbelievable, Viscount Garcia completely doubted the reliability of the information, knowing that “Black Eyes” had been wrong before.

However, Mr. Samuel nodded, affirming the reliability of the “Black Eyes” intelligence.

“Your guess is correct, Byrne Fischer’s real name indeed is Byrne Romann, and his father Lucius Fischer is blood-related to Duke Romann,” he said.

Viscount Garcia took a deep breath and shook his head slightly.

“I still find it hard to believe.”

Samuel smiled, a cunning light passing through his eyes unnoticed by others, and calmly analyzed the seemingly absurd truth of the intelligence.

“First, Viscount Bast is a man who puts interests above everything else. His fondness for Byrne isn’t without reason, and you should understand that the cunning fox wouldn’t even be so kind to his own son.”

“It’s said he provided the barrier for the Fischer family equivalent to Level Five Extraordinary materials, signifying his fear of anyone meddling with the small clan in Nasir Town.”

“Second, when Nasir Town was attacked by the Rhea, why did Duke Romann, whose power was not in the East Coast, arrive first to the scene? It was actually to save his own blood.”

“As one of the kingdom’s most prominent figures, he personally gave a mere commoner, Knight Byrne, a certification after the event. Doesn’t that strike you as odd?”

“Third, why is it that every time the Fischer family faces an attack from a powerful enemy, ‘miracles’ or ‘miraculous battle achievements’ seem to arise, allowing them to deal with their adversaries?”

Having fallen completely silent, Viscount Garcia listened as Mr. Samuel continued.

“People in the church have said that the last time they received a divine revelation was many years ago, and yet there were several so-called ‘divine interventions’ saving the Fischer family over the past decade or so, which now seem entirely implausible.”

Viscount Garcia entered a deep contemplation and questioned, “In reality, have they always been protected by the powerful members of the Romann family?”

“Yes, that’s exactly it,” Samuel said confidently with a nod.

“Moreover, there’s a fourth point. Members of ‘Black Eyes’ have already investigated in Emerald Lake Province, and decades ago the Romann family did indeed publicly search for a lost baby amid the chaos of war, whose age perfectly matches that of Lucius Fischer, who is said to be deceased within the Fischer family!”

Because the argument and evidence were so compelling, Viscount Garcia furrowed his brows, his inner doubts beginning to waver.

Yet, he still spoke with an icy voice:

“I still can’t completely believe it; something about the details seems off, but now I fully understand one thing – the Fischer family certainly is hiding some powerful force.”

“If one wants to annihilate them, one must be absolutely cautious and make the most thorough preparations!”

——

In the cellar of the Fischer family manor, the well-preserved silver dragon egg suddenly began to shake, and soon enough, cracks appeared one after the other on its silver-white, scaly surface.

A few hours later, the butler Theo, who descended to the cellar for a routine inspection, was surprised to find the situation.

“The dragon is about to be born!”

He quickly called Master Byrne over.

“It has been many years, and it’s finally about to be born. Theo, go prepare some hot water and a hundred kilograms of beef, the books say a dragon consumes a lot of large animal meat upon birth.”

Byrne gazed at the continuously shaking silver dragon egg, took a deep breath; dragons were a very powerful species, and this dragon’s quality was unlike anything recorded in the books.

It might have some very special traits, this silver dragon egg might just be the good fortune of the Fischer family!
