Chapter 95 - Chapter 95: Chapter 91: Capture (Vote for Monthly Tickets!) (2/2)
Today, in the magical system, to recreate a crime scene, in most cases, the intact body of the victim is required.
Only a handful of people on the Monarch Level can recreate the initial scene without the body.
The Wolf Knight continued, “According to the plan, we’ll kill a few more people in the next ten days.”
“Then we’ll suggest to the Fischer family that if they do not give up control of that village, it will mean complete enmity with the Kesse family.”
“By that time, it won’t just be a few insignificant commoners dying.”
The Kesse family took some time to confirm that the sudden appearance of the Assistant Priest was an accident and finally decided to take action.
The brown-haired female Spellcaster nodded and said, “Actually, we should have taken action a long time ago. Now that the Fischer family has become a true baronial family, it’s not so easy to move against them.”
The Wolf Knight shook his head and said, “There’s no choice. Before, we didn’t know about Baron Hovern’s complete mental breakdown, nor were we clear about the specific situation of the Hovern family. How could Baron Kesse dare to meddle with the governor’s stuff?”
The situation of the Hovern family?
The brown-haired Spellcaster fell into thought. Indeed, according to reason, after Baron Hovern lost his mind, the Hovern family would not just abandon their estates; they should have sent someone to take care of it.
Why is it that the Hovern family has completely ignored this enclave on the East Coast?
She found it very strange, but when she asked, the Wolf Knight only chuckled and refused to say anything about the Hovern family, leaving the brown-haired Spellcaster utterly speechless.
Just then, the Wolf Knight’s nose twitched!
“Hmm, someone is approaching, and there are quite a few of them. We’ve been discovered, run!”
The brown-haired Spellcaster panicked and shouted, “How is that possible? They shouldn’t be able to find us!”
However, further hesitation would be life-threatening, and although the two of them didn’t understand the situation, they immediately slipped out through the back door of the inn.
Having run to another street, just as they were about to take a moment to rest, the Wolf Knight noticed several commoners with daggers watching them from a distance, who ran away as soon as their eyes met.
The Wolf Knight immediately said, “Wrong, there are Fischer family pawns here too!”
They moved again, planning to escape Nasir Town as quickly as possible and head into the wilderness outside.
But soon, both stood still in the pouring rain, looking in terror at the man not far away.
Byrne was dressed in black, standing expressionlessly in the torrential rain, while Guards Captain Theo held an umbrella over his head.
It was the Extraordinary exponent of the Fischer family, Baron Byrne, who had reached Level 2!
Damn!
The Wolf Knight’s sweat mingled with the rain as he trembled and said,
“According to the information given by that Lord, the head of the Fischer family is not good at fighting. Let’s fight him!”
The brown-haired Spellcaster shook her head vigorously, advising with eyes full of fear,
“Just the two of us can never beat him. We should surrender. He shouldn’t kill us — after all, we only killed a commoner.”
The Wolf Knight’s expression was torn and he struggled internally, still frantically debating whether to surrender or flee immediately.
He couldn’t surrender because his family was deeply tied to the Kesse family. If he surrendered, his entire clan would be implicated.
The Wolf Knight charged at them with a roar, getting closer.
In the raging storm, Byrne simply extended his hand calmly and snapped his fingers.
“Flame.”
In an instant, the Wolf Knight’s body burst into hellish orange flames, and the immense pain went straight to his soul, forcing him to roll in agony on the rain-soaked ground.
“Aaaaah!”
Luckily, the heavy rain had caused the streets to fill with water, which quickly extinguished the flames on his body.
Byrne didn’t look at him, just staring ahead emotionlessly, and although Flame Manipulation didn’t require him to speak incantations, he still decided to say the word “flame” in front of others.
Over time, many would come to believe that he had to chant in order to release fire, which might lead them to use a Silence Spell or other such magic against him.
Then, to their shock, they would find out that he didn’t need to utter a single word to unleash roaring fire.
“I surrender!”
Seeing this scene, the female Spellcaster kneeled on the ground in fright, not daring to resist. Soon, numerous guards from the Fischer family surrounded them.
The badly burnt Wolf Knight was powerless to resist, and the female Spellcaster was easily captured. While the family guards were initially fearful of the Extraordinary opponents, they gritted their teeth and moved in to tie them both up.
Captain Theo immediately asked, “Lord Baron, how should we handle them?”
Byrne considered, and before he could speak, Vanessa came forward holding an umbrella over Irene.
Irene’s gaze was icy as she said,
“Interrogate them first for any important information, then tie the pair up in the center of Nasir Town and let the townspeople watch and punish them.”
Byrne had no objections, but asked, “What is the purpose of this?”
He felt Irene wasn’t one to vent her emotions recklessly.
Irene explained, “This way the townspeople will be more grateful to us, and on the other hand, it will publicly humiliate whoever is behind these two.”
As for the mastermind, the female Spellcaster soon confessed.
Unsurprisingly, it was the Kesse family.
Their objective was simple and clear, to intimidate and warn, hoping to make the Fischer family “voluntarily” give up control over the territory of Ourde Village.
Now that the culprit behind the scenes had been identified and the evidence was complete, what to do next?
Because the victim was just a commoner, both the church and the East Coast Governor would find the event ultimately unimportant and not worthy of concern.
They wouldn’t punish an Extraordinary overlord over such a trivial matter, as there was still a fundamental social gap between Extraordinaries and commoners.
So having evidence of who ordered the two to kill the elderly worker didn’t fundamentally matter.
If the Fischer family wanted retaliation, they would have to figure it out for themselves.
