Chapter 62: Chapter 60: Fischer is on Fire

“The person you want to kill is called Emil, right?”

Upon hearing and confirming this name, Byrne immediately fell into deep thought.

He had occasionally heard of Emil before, seemingly a spellcaster from Nasir’s silver descendant clan with high-level Beginning strength. His talent for casting fell under “Transformation”.

It was said that Emil was quite talented and had the opportunity to reach Level 2 “Transmutation” in the future.

Byrne had no real interaction with him, and the thought of unhesitatingly killing a stranger with whom he bore no personal grudge still brought some psychological pressure.

“Byrne, I know your personality; you’re not someone who would take another’s life for personal gain so easily,”

Irene said calmly from the side, her gaze toward Byrne unwavering, as if she had long been prepared for this step.

“Let me take care of this matter. You don’t have to get involved,”

Aaron asked in surprise:

“Oh? You’re not choosing to stand together? I thought people from the Fischer family always put their full effort in the same direction.”

“You think you bear him no grudge, but you’re wrong,”

Byrne slightly furrowed his brow, listening as Aaron continued.

“By choosing me and the Fischer family, you have already blocked his path. The grudge is set; sooner or later he will come after me!”

The middle-aged silver descendant sneered coldly, with a look in his eyes as though he were a wild animal, a demon, or even more sinister!

“And should I die or lose power, the three hundred Gold Coins you invested will be washed away completely. When that time comes, you will regret your inaction and regret not doing more for your family.”

Byrne’s brow remained tightly knitted, silent, but deep down he knew that the other party made sense.

However, the Class 3 Extraordinary Material pledged by Aaron was still there, so it wouldn’t be a total loss.

The Fischer family had already blocked the candidate Emil’s path—there was indeed a grudge between them!

In the end, I was still too naive, having been unprepared for such things all this while, yet now I had no choice but to confront it.

In truth, there was something Irene hadn’t mentioned, which was her recollection of Emil, that detestable man.

He always disliked Irene’s visits because he had to hurriedly pay her after the clan elder received treatment, just to show respect; hoping the elder would recover.

But through her Extraordinary trait of “Listening for Malice”, she could discern Emil’s true thoughts.

Silently, he had wished the elder would die quickly so he could become the new elder. It was always tough for him to express his bitterness, nearly at the point of wanting to kill Irene, who kept treating the elder.

Irene always saw that man’s undisguised threatening glance and heard the malice deep within him.

She even highly suspected that if it weren’t for Emil’s reluctance to provoke the Fischer family, she might have already faced threats from him.

Just then, Byrne and Irene suddenly felt a sense of alarm!

It was the will of the Lord of the Lost!

Every time they heeded a divine warning, something extremely dangerous happened. The two of them instantly changed complexion, not knowing what was about to unfold.

Irene was certain that it wasn’t Aaron harboring hostility, as her Extraordinary trait “Malice Perception” had no reaction.

She soon saw a servant running to the outside of the living room in panic, not daring to come closer, shouting in extreme anxiety: “Masters, something terrible has happened!”

All three turned their heads toward him. The Fischer family’s rules had become increasingly strict in recent years, and servants would not normally interrupt conversations. The urgency of this servant certainly meant the situation was grave.

“What’s wrong?” Irene asked immediately.

As family matters were mostly handled by Irene, the servants held her in some awe and quickly bowed their heads to say:

“Many people from the silver descendants clan have arrived, and they’ve brought a lot of torches. I fear they intend to set this place ablaze!”

Irene and Byrne immediately looked toward Aaron, whose brow also furrowed in confusion.
