The patriarch of the Andre family was devastated by the news of his sons' deaths. He grabbed the butler by his collar, shaking him violently, saying, "What the hell were you doing? How could you let someone just walk in and kill people in this house, without even knowing who he was?"
"I, I..."
Cold sweat broke out on the butler's forehead. He was already scared out of his wits.
In fact, they were all also very confused. Who could enter the mansion without anyone noticing?
All the guards and maids at home did not notice any strangers entering the mansion.
Most importantly, when the three young masters died, nothing could be heard at all.
By logic, the person who came to kill them must be at least a tier 4 expert because only an expert of this level could enter the mansion silently and kill the three young masters.
"Trash!"
After hearing the butler's guess, the patriarch could no longer hold back his anger. He raised his palm, and a cold and terrifying magic power circulated in his palm, slapping towards the butler's chest.
"Master! Master, please spare my life!"
When the butler saw the patriarch raise his hand, he already had a bad premonition. He hurriedly begged for mercy in shock.
But before he could finish his words, the magic power had already left the patriarch's palm and turned into an ice arrow, which then pierced through the butler's chest.
The huge force sent the butler's body flying out of the hall and into the stone pillar outside the door, turning into a bloody mist.
When everyone looked over, the butler was already dead.
Only his eyes were wide open. He had died with a grievance.
"The descendants of all four families have died at the same time. How could there be such a coincidence?" Adventurer Bick's entire body was exuding a chilling aura.
He said coldly, "That's right. How could there be such a coincidence in this world? It must be Laylen's doing!" The eyes of the leader of the mercenary group were cold, and his body was boiling with killing intent.
The patriarch of the Duke family's tone was similarly cold. "If I don't behead him myself in public, the hatred in my heart will never resolve!"
In the end, Archbishop Shadow, who had lost more than ten followers, said, "Let's all go to the mayor's residence and work together to break that magical formation outside. We'll then capture Laylen and tear him into pieces."
After saying that, he even didn't ask Creed in the leader's seat for permission and just left the grand knight's mansion.
The remaining people looked at each other and followed Shadow out.
They had an irreconcilable enmity with Laylen.
After they left, Grand Knight Creed sat on a chair and stroked his chin. He said to himself, "I gotta admit, Laylen has helped me a lot."
These old men. Although all of them had agreed to divide the resources of Vader City evenly, none of them wanted to contribute more than they had to in overthrowing the current mayor.
They were afraid that Mayor Nelly would still be alive. If he were to recover, he would definitely seek them out for revenge and kill them all.
Therefore, whenever it was their turn to attack the magical formation, they would not put in much effort. If they had all been willing to put in more effort, the magical formation would have been broken long ago.
Now that their sons have all been killed, the anger in their hearts has finally been ignited. With the five of them working together, the magical formation, which had already been riddled with holes from the previous attacks, would definitely be broken today.
"Laylen, oh Laylen, I really should thank you properly." Creed looked into the distance with a smile.
Laylen's return had seemingly accelerated Vader City's change of ownership.
Thinking of the magical formation being broken, Nelly dying, and him controlling most of the knights in the city, a heroic spirit instantly rose in Creed's eyes.
Vader city was about to change its name to Knight City!
On the other hand, the five experts, led by Shadow, had all come to the sky above the mayor's mansion. Terrifying auras spread out from their bodies. Even ordinary people who did not cultivate magic could feel them.
Countless people poked their heads out from the windowsill of their homes, their gazes locked onto the five people who were the source of the auras.
"Are they not planning to hide anymore?"
Most people were deep in thought.
In the past, these few experts would take turns to attack the formation of the mayor's mansion, only coming at night as well. Few people saw them actually attacking the formation, and so nobody dared to talk about it.
But now, they had all directly come to the sky above the mayor's mansion, without even trying to cover their actions at all.
In Vader City, hundreds of thousands of people looked at the sky above the mayor's mansion.
Would today be the day that the mayor's mansion got destroyed?
Grand Knight Creed would then become the new mayor and take control of Vader City.
Many experts who had received the mayor's kindness and wisdom couldn't help but look worried. However, most of them remained calm.
To the commoners, as long as there was no war, it didn't matter who the mayor was.
To the experts, as they had already lived for many years, with the breakthrough of each tier granting them increased longevity, they had already seen such power change hands many times.
They had long been used to this.
Only by constantly becoming stronger could they protect the things around them.
"Laylen! Get the hell out there!" The patriarch of the Andre family stood on the top of the spire and let out a roar filled with anger.
This roar was like thunder that echoed in the ears and spread out in all directions. Even the people standing more than a hundred meters away felt uncomfortable.
"Today, I will definitely cut you into pieces!" The leader of the mercenary group was also furious.
A few people stood around the mayor's mansion, looking down at the mayor's mansion from above, looking for Laylen's figure. They wanted nothing more than to chop him into pieces and get rid of him as soon as possible!
The surrounding spectators had puzzled expressions. Who was Laylen?
Why did this name sound somewhat familiar?
Only a small number of people knew about the situation, such as the spectators who had just left the arena of life and death.
The Duke family's young patriarch and the gold-tier adventurer's son had both died in the arena at the same time.
In the mayor's residence, there were still many guards who had no idea that Laylen had set up the Berserk Thunder Cage. When they saw four peak tier 3 experts and even a tier 4 one gathered outside, their faces turned pale.
It was like the end of the world.
"Wow, you have come so quickly." Laylen had just come out of his father's room when he heard the roars from outside.
He was slightly stunned, then stood up and went outside. He raised his head and saw the five people.
Evelyn and Liszt followed him on his left and right.
"Oh, good afternoon, everyone." Laylen grinned.
Shadow's voice was like a snake's and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you Laylen Vader?!"
Andre's eyes were burning with anger, "Did you kill my three children?!"
Bick and the leader of the Duke family didn't say anything. Their eyes were fixed on Laylen, wishing they could tear him into pieces.
"That's right, it was me," Laylen didn't deny it. Instead, he admitted it straightforwardly with a bright smile, "Your sons are too weak, like little chicks. They couldn't even withstand one of my attacks."
"You killed my followers too?" Shadow asked.
"That's right, it was me too."
"You! How dare you! I'm gonna kill you!"
Seeing Laylen's arrogance, the five experts could not contain their anger.
"Hahahaha! Come on then! I'm right here! Come on in here and kill me if you have the guts! Hahaha!" Laylen laughed wildly.
