Antoine's butler's heart was cold, and it was the little Count Anthony who walked in at the door, and the golden hair passed down from generation to generation by the Antoine family highlighted the little count's extremely pale complexion.

"It's time, the glory of the Anthony family has been lost for too long!" The little count's voice was as cold as the heart of Antoine's butler.

Antoine's left hand pressed the escape button, but there was no response, and drops of cold sweat appeared on his face. A pair of eyes twitched from side to side, from the Shadow Assassin to the Little Count to the Gate, calculating the possible reaction time of his guards: "Colin, what do you mean?" Are you going to break the contract? I signed a contract with the Shadow Assassin Order! You can't kill me! ”

"I'm not going to kill you, I'm a man with a work ethic." The Shadow Assassin shook the object in his hand: "It's just, I'm an assassin after all, I'm always interested in some strange things, yesterday I saw that the device on your chair was quite interesting, so I studied it, and accidentally added a part when I put it back on, I'm really sorry, I did my best." ”

Throwing the parts in his hand on the table, the Shadow Assassin bowed like a little earl: "My lord, it's your time, I've done what you told me before, those two demon hunters have no chance to stop your business, everything will go as smoothly as you expect." ”

"You're doing a good job, the Shadow Assassin lives up to his reputation. This is the key to the treasure vault of the Lord's Palace, whatever you take, it doesn't matter to me anymore. As he spoke, Little Count Anthony took out a key from his waist and threw it to the Shadow Assassin Colin, then took out a dagger, cut a wound on his arm with an expressionless face, and handed it to the Assassin with a handkerchief stained with blood.

As if it was not his own flesh that was divided, the little earl continued to move forward without looking back: "The door lock of the treasure house needs the blood of the heir to be voluntarily sacrificed before it appears, and it is all yours." ”

The Shadow Assassin's excited voice trembled: "Thank you for your generosity, my lord, if you have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, I will give you a huge discount!" ”

"There won't be that chance! I'm going to let all of this be buried in history once and for all, and all of us will be turned into dry bones in pain! The little count waved his arm, and with a brief spell, Antoine found himself confined to a chair, as if an invisible rope bound him, "Antoine, this table!" Everything here is mine! I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and if it weren't for dragging this city to hell, I would have torn you to pieces! ”

"Are you crazy!" Antoine writhed his fat body unwillingly, and shouted loudly, trying to make a loud enough voice to attract the attention of the others in the castle: "The contents of the treasure vault are the wealth that your father has accumulated all his life!" You're just handed over to a villain who makes a living by fraud and assassination! ”

The little lord blew at Antoine's words: "What, do you want to leave it to you?" My Uncle Antoine? I hate you, I hate every nobleman, every man in this city! They should have been loyal to my father! My family! It was my father who founded the city, and if the city was no longer ruled by the Anthony family, let it be completely destroyed at the hands of the Anthony family. ”

Antoine's eyes widened, and he realized that eradicating himself was only the first step in the Little Lord, that there were others helping him, and that the whole city was his goal: "Little Anthony! You're really crazy! That group of Chaos Believers is secretly supported by you behind the scenes, so that you can successfully avoid the search of the city guards again and again! ”

Seeing that the young count's young face did not change at all, Antoine knew that there was no reason to talk to a child full of hatred. Heavenly mercy is visible! Antoine felt that he had done his best enough, and he had not treated the Anthony family badly except for wanting to replace the old earl!

The wealth of the Anthony family, he does not take a penny, if he succeeds in obtaining the title of earl and becomes the lord here, he will even let the Anthony family enjoy the wealth of this city forever! Just like he did with the little earl now, no matter what the request was, no matter how big the amount, he would sign it without changing his face.

Compared to himself, look at the old earl who only knows how to fight one day, he is simply an orc warlord! What does he know other than being reckless? Antonio Port can have today, all thanks to its own credit! He recruited outcasts, pacified pirates, widened ports, introduced preferential policies to attract merchants, contacted the supply of goods in the New World, and negotiated with various associations on the Old Road!

Without him, there would be no Antonio Port today! Why didn't a single nobleman stand up for the old count after his death? Because they all know that the city can do without the old count, but it can't do without him Antoine! Without him, half of the trade routes would have come to a standstill! Without him, the orcs outside the city would have begun to besiege the city long ago! Without him, the pirates outside the harbor would have sunk half of the merchant ships in the sea!

Therefore, he had the opportunity to become the acting lord of Antony Port, and only then did he have the opportunity to replace the title of the Anthony family, and even the knights under the old earl, who also had muscles in their heads, took a huge amount of compensation and never said a word more, and obediently went to other places to be a pioneer knight, I am the uncrowned king here!

Antoine, who had hinted at himself countless times in his heart, felt that he had a complete conscience after obtaining the tacit approval of the church, and even in front of the little count, he did not have a trace of guilt. Although, most of these things are to appease the emotions of other nobles, and they don't want to show too ugly appearances, after all, they can acquiesce to their own misappropriation of power for the sake of profit, but if they completely cut off the blood of the Anthony family, I am afraid that there will be members of the council to investigate the reason, which is also one of the reasons why he is afraid of demon hunters.

"Colin!" Antoine's little eyes turned rapidly, trying to save his life by all means: "I'm your employer, you see, the little friction between us is just a matter of money, trust me!" No matter how much wealth the Anthony family has in their treasury, I can pay double the price! As long as you get me out, I'll give you as much money as it costs! I'm going to rot in my stomach forever what happened today! And do you hear me, those cultists are going to destroy the whole city! Even a shadow assassin won't sit idly by! ”

Antoine pinned his last hope on the conscience of the killer in front of him, staring at the Shadow Assassin's face with wide eyes, trying to convince him to change his mind in his own words.
