Chapter 1471 Killing Them All (1/2)
Grady was not some nobody. It didn't matter what his relationship with Seth was; the one who killed him was in deep trouble.
Unfortunately for Todd, a powerful warrior working for the West King had him framed by making use of his sword intent to kill the frenzied Grady. In this way, when Seth investigated the case of Grady's death later on, he would definitely investigate Todd.
This infuriated Todd so much that he felt like his eyes were going to pop out of his skull. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't be so afraid to be attacked by a king. But since he was being framed, he felt blatantly wronged. It was only natural that he responded in anger.
”How dare you frame me? You must be courting death!” Todd said to the man who killed Grady through gritted teeth.
”What are you talking about? You killed Grady right in front of all of us. How could you blame me for something you did?” The man smiled in a sinister fashion, his eyes flashing mischievously.

The three men all knew that Juan was a weak-minded man and would avoid war at all costs. Therefore, it was only under the instructions of their respective kings that they dared make trouble for Todd. They all believed that Todd would not try to kill them.
As for why those kings didn't do it themselves, that was because never in their wildest dreams would they dare! They all feared each other. The moment they walked out of their territory and confronted another king, all hell would break lose until either party died.
Therefore, the kings seldom did things personally. Instead, they usually ordered their competent subordinates to do their biddings.
Hence, despite the importance of capturing Darren, none of the kings had come in person.
Then, it dawned on Todd what these men were up to. Sighing heavily, he willed himself to calm down before saying anythin
