"What is your lord's connection to the Serpent of Shadows?"

Taking a few steps forward, and Edge's encirclement of Hank Jason in the middle, blocking the direction in which he could escape, Gray looked at Hank Jason and asked.

Originally, he was disguised as a Shadow Serpent assassination operation, but he accidentally heard the news of the real Shadow Serpent, and it seemed to be related to the Oliver family, which couldn't help but shock his heart.

"Your voice ......? Who are you? ”

Hank Jason looked at Gray in surprise.

Because he was wearing a hood and Gray was showing the strength of a real high-ranking blood warrior, he had always thought that Gray was an adult.

But when I heard Gray's voice at this time, I couldn't help but be surprised, the other party's voice was too young, and it obviously didn't look like an adult's voice.

"You don't need to know, say, what the Oliver family has to do with the Shadow Serpent?"

Without the intention of answering the doubts in the other party's heart, Gray still said coldly.

"Ahh

At that moment, the young man Garth was kicked down by Watt and put a short knife on his neck.

When Hank Jason saw it, his face suddenly became anxious, his face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said.

"I can tell you, but you'll have to let us go!"

Edge's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Gray.

Originally, they were tasked with assassinating Hank Jason, but they accidentally learned about the Shadow Serpent, and they used the news as a threat.

This made him feel a little difficult to handle, the news of the Shadow Serpent was indeed important, but the task of assassination was equally important, after all, after this time, it may not be easy to assassinate.

From Edge's gaze, Hank Jason saw that Gray should be the highest-ranking person in this team, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Gray.

"I don't know which family you belong to, but this news is enough for you to make meritorious service to the Marquis, let my son go first, and then I will tell you the news."

Gray thought for a moment, looked at Hank Jason, and spoke.

"I—refuse!"

As he said this, Gray moved.

Sou!

The power of blood poured into his legs, and his legs swelled suddenly, crossing the distance between him and Hank Jason in an instant, and the long sword flashed like a cold light.

Gray's sudden approach made Hank Jason's heart sink suddenly, and he secretly said that it was not good, and he hurriedly raised his short knife with his only remaining left hand to resist.

But before he could raise his dagger, the cold light swept across his arm.

Burst!

Hank Jason's only remaining left arm, severed from the wrist, splattered with blood.

"Ahh

Hank Jason snorted in pain and hurriedly ducked to the side.

Gray, on the other hand, faced the splattered blood, threw off the long sword in his hand, and rushed forward quickly.

Disheveled!

Hank Jason, who was dodging, was directly kicked down by Gray, stepped on the ground, and could no longer move.

No matter how hard he exerts, it is difficult to move a single bit, after all, in terms of strength, Hank Jason is obviously inferior to Gray.

"Tell me, what does the Oliver family have to do with the Serpent of Shadows?"

Putting his foot on Hank Jason, Gray asked.

A deal with Hank Jason to gain information on the Oliver family's relationship with the Shadow Serpent was abandoned after it flashed through his mind.

Even if the transaction is successful, and the information on the relationship between the Oliver family and the Shadow Serpent is indeed obtained, it will inevitably make the Oliver family vigilant and make targeted arrangements, and it is still two to say whether this information will be useful at that time.

As for pretending to release people, and then deceiving Hank Jason to tell the information, how can Hank Jason be defenseless, and there will definitely be a way to confirm whether Garth has really escaped.

So he chose to capture Hank Jason and then ask for the corresponding information.

"Ahem, do you think I'll tell you in this case?"

Hank Jason, who was trampled under Gray's feet and coughed repeatedly, raised his head, looked at Gray with resentment, and snorted coldly.

"Do you have the means to torture and interrogate?"

Gray asked, looking sideways at Edge.

"Indeed, young master, do you want to ask here?"

Aitch asked, nodding.

"No, take it back and ask."

Gray shook his head.

The movement of the fighting may have alarmed the people in the town, and they must be evacuated as soon as possible.

"Young Master, what about this guy?"

Watt asked, pointing to the young man he was holding to his neck with a knife.

"Take it away."

Thinking that if he couldn't ask, it would be useful to get this young man, Gray decided not to kill for the time being, and then he thought about it and commanded again.

"Gather everyone's bodies here, find people about the size of Hank Jason and his son, put them on their clothes, and set them on fire!"

Watt nodded knowingly.

Gray's purpose in doing this was apparently to mislead the Oliver family into believing that Hank Jason and his son had been killed.

A few minutes later, a raging fire broke out in the dining room, and dozens of corpses, including guards and servants, were doused with grease and burned.

Gray and the others took Hank Jason, who was tied up and gagged, and his son to retreat out of the town, and even Hank Jason's two severed arms were taken away.

The town had already been alarmed by the fighting, but there were few people who actually opened the door to check on the situation.

The people of this world know how to avoid good fortune very well, and they can guess just from the movement of the fight, which is by no means a good thing, so almost no one opens the door to check the situation.

This is a lot of trouble, if people really see it, Gray and they can only kill the people they see.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, he carefully left Viscount Oliver without leaving a trace, and then rode back to the village where Gray and the others had set out.

It was past midnight, and Gray took a shower to wash away the smell of blood, and was arranged to rest in a decent bedroom in the village.

The next morning, while Gray was having breakfast in a modest dining room, Aitch hurried out.

He had dark circles in his eyes, and apparently he hadn't slept all night last night because of the interrogation of Hank Jason.

"Master Gray!"

When he saw Gray, he saluted respectfully, more respectfully than he had been yesterday.

Last night, the strength that Gray showed was a real high-ranking blood warrior strength, and what surprised him the most was that the opponent's combat power was obviously stronger than him, who had been a high-ranking blood warrior for many years.

In the whole battle, he was supposed to be the main force, but he was almost reduced to a foil, it was Gray who cut off Hank Jason's arms, and it was Gray who captured Hank Jason.

"How's it going, did you force it out?"

Gray asked hurriedly.

When it came to the Oliver family's information on the Shadow Serpent, Edge's face was straight.

"I've been forced to ask, but I'm not sure if this news is true-"

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, obviously not sure whether the news he had forced him to ask was true or false.

"What the hell is the news?"

Gray asked, confused.

"According to Hank Jason's guess, the Shadow Serpent may be hiding in Viscount Oliver right now!"

Edge's face was strange.

"The Shadow Serpent is hiding in Viscounty Oliver? This, this...... Is it possible? ”

Gray's face was shocked, and he couldn't help but stand up.

This news was no less shocking than the news that Viscount Shelly's family had been destroyed by the Shadow Serpent, if not more.

What is the Shadow Serpent?

It was an assassination organization that angered the Marquis of Sidney's family, the public enemy of all the nobles of the Marquis of Sidney.

The Oliver family dared to hide the assassins of the Shadow Serpent in their own territory, and if they were discovered, they would be exterminated by the Marquis.

Why did the Oliver family do this?

Forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, Gray raised his eyebrows and asked.

"You just said this was Hank Jason's guess, what do you mean by that?"

"The Oliver family didn't intend to let him know, he knew by chance."

Aitch explained.

"When he went to report to the Oliver family, he found a group of strangers in the Oliver family, and on the left arm of one of them, he accidentally saw a black snake tattoo."

"Have you double-checked with him if it's the Shadow Serpent's black snake tattoo, and not anything like that?"

Gray asked, frowning.

"I've carefully confirmed, according to his description, it's indeed the Black Serpent tattoo of the Shadow Serpent."

Edge's affirmative nod.

"Master Gray, we need to inform the Viscount as soon as possible."

"Well, this matter has too much impact, and I really need to inform my father as soon as possible, find a carriage, take their father and son, and return to Fergus Castle with me."

Gray nodded in command.

Such a major event is no longer in his control, and he needs to tell Viscount Fergus as soon as possible, and then Viscount Fergus will decide what to do next.
