Chapter 84 - Chapter 84: Chapter 82: Execution (Vote for us!) (2/2)

A sudden and terrible thought emerged, startling the old servant himself!

Upon reflection, for the great god, it doesn’t really matter who serves as the proxy, then…

He swallowed hard, suddenly feeling an overwhelmingly vast and irresistible will, like an unending gray eroding the night, nearly crushing his meager and feeble soul.

“Mercy! Mercy! I was just thinking, just envying the Fischer family! I have never been disloyal to my lord!”

The old servant knelt on the ground in extreme fear, frantically pleading for mercy.

Finally, that great will that had appeared for just a moment vanished from his mind, covered in sweat, hardly standing, he hastily left.

On his way home, the old servant suddenly saw a familiar black figure.

It was Madam Irene!

The mysterious Madam Irene, clothed in an exquisitely made black dress, stood silently in the shadows.

Her face expressionless, her charming eyes harboring an inextinguishable darkness, almost all members of the Fischer family feared her.

“Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!”

The old servant suddenly realized something and screamed out, turning to run away, only to be grabbed by the arm by a man behind him.

Byrne, under the moonlight with golden-rimmed glasses and dressed in a dark brown coat with a vest, looked more composed and restrained than he had more than three years earlier.

“Mercy, mercy, please spare me!”

Byrne just shook his head, adjusted his glasses, and said indifferently, “Come with me, don’t worry, it’s alright.”

The young man’s words seemed to have a strange power, and the old servant inexplicably calmed down.

He was very aware that Byrne was a person who valued past relationships and was deeply sentimental, and he immediately felt he might survive this.

Captain Theo, the Guards Captain, had been waiting in a carriage on the other side of the street, not giving the old servant even a glance.

Once the two men took him onto the carriage, the old servant began to feel uneasy again, and when he realized they had stopped in the northern forest, he immediately fell to his knees in fear, begging and clinging to Byrne’s legs.

“No, please, no, I have a son and a daughter, Patriarch Byrne, Young Master Byrne, don’t kill me, I served you for several years in the past!”

“Hmm, I’ll take good care of your children, don’t worry.”

After ensuring calmly, Byrne freed himself from the old servant’s grip and returned to the carriage.

The old servant ran towards the forest like a madman, internally cursing the Fischer family, wishing that wretched lot would all go to hell!

“Theo, you and Byrne wait for me here.”

Irene said casually, and then calmly made her way into the forest, carrying the same shovel she had used in earlier years.

Captain Theo nodded, silently waiting for Madam Irene to reemerge from the woods, looking as pristine and composed as ever.

The problem was completely resolved.

Back in the carriage, Irene looked at Byrne, who seemed a bit uncomfortable.

Irene spoke very calmly, “This is the first time for something like this, but it won’t be the last, if you ever feel too upset about it, let me take care of it all.”

Byrne shook his head and smiled slightly, saying, “There’s really no need for that, Irene, I’m certainly not like a child who needs protecting.”

“Even the Blood Receivers may not be entirely loyal, we must absolutely remember what happened today.”

He paused before continuing, “Tomorrow night, we will witness the first batch of Blood Receivers cultivated from children, they will become an aid to the Fischer family.”

“Currently, several families in the region of the four towns have their sights set on our Nasir, and the situation of the Fischer family is anything but safe.”

The two baronial families closest to Nasir are the Kesse family in the west and the Leander family in the south.

Their territories, lying between Nasir and the three other towns of the region of the four towns.

The Kesse family has two Extraordinary Exponents who’ve reached Transmutation, possessing three villages and effectively controlling five surrounding villages.

The Leander family has only one Transmutation-ranked Extraordinary Exponent, owning two villages and effectively controlling three.

Since the power vacuum in Nasir, the Kesse family has been particularly interested in the resources of Nasir as a harbor, and they are filled with envy towards the Fischer family ruling over the entire town.

Byrne’s gaze was piercing, his voice full of determination and belief:

“And I have touched the 3rd Rank, soon stepping into an even higher position, and then everything will be entirely different.”
