"Young lady...young lady... something happened to Axel."
"Speak slowly."
"Axel...was gravely injured and was hospitalized."
"What did you say?"
Mu Xue was taken aback when he heard the words.
Mu Lan described what had happened, and all she knew was that Axel had been gravely injured and was in the hospital.
"Where is the elder?"
"I didn't know she went out a while ago."
"Can we visit Axel in the hospital?"
Mu Xue's brow wrinkled as she spoke slowly.
"Not now; please wait for the elder."
She wanted to go see Axel, but the situation appeared to be complicated.
"OK."
************************
"What did you say?"
Edward's rage turned against Ethan.
Ethan slashed his blade without saying anything.
"Gale cut"
Ethan was a wind-type martial artist.
Edward was horrified by the sword attack. He couldn't protect against that attack.
"Rock shield."
In front of Edward, a shield of the earth-element was created to fend off Ethan's attack. Even that is not able to stop Ethan's attack.
Ethan's attack cut down the rock shield and slashed Edward. All of his defense treasures were destroyed, and he smashed the city wall in seconds.
The vibrations of their battle were felt across the city, leaving people in fear.
The city guards on the wall glanced at Ethan with terror.
Edward coughed blood from his mouth.
"You are a king-level martial artist."
Edward was terrified. He always assumed Ethan was a Grandmaster, but he was a King's rank.
"Edward, you know I've always thought you weren't a good thing."
"I've been wanting to get rid of you for a long time, but you always use David as a shield."
Ethan always thought Edward was a bad thing, but he never did anything about it. since he has never shown any hostility towards all these years and always uses David as his shield.
Edward took a step back after noticing Ethan's murderous aura.
"No, Ethan, you can't kill me. David made me the city lord."
"Are you defying his words?"
Edward knows that he must act or else he will perish today.
"I'm killing you because you were involved in our young master's attempted murder."
"What do you mean?"
"You gave Axel a gift, and you know what you did with it."
After hearing this, Ethan was frightened since he knew what he had done.
"No...you can't kill me..."
"Farewell."
Ethan cut Edward's head. Unwillingly, Edward lost consciousness.
Ethan looked for Edward's ring and took David's letter. Ethan felt relieved when he saw that.
According to an original letter, Edward has to hand over his position to Ethan when Ethan returns to Twilight Town.
Ethan was not in town at the time of the beast riot, or else Axel's parents would not have been injured.
Edward had been using forged letters to trick them for years. Ethan was unconcerned since he was uninterested in the position.
"Are you afraid to come out?"
A figure gradually appeared in the sky.
"Hello, senior."
Mu Yan spoke with fear.
She witnessed everything from the moment Ethan began fighting in the city.
"What brings you here?"
"I noticed someone fighting. I was curious as to who it was."
"You've seen enough, you should leave."
"Thank you, senior."
"Also, leave the city before your family gets caught in this whirlpool."
She spoke after hearing Ethan's words.
"I suppose there is something in the death of the former city ruler."
"It's a good thing you're clever."
Mu Yan hastily departed the location.
Ethan also went to see Thomas and Lucas.
"What are you doing, Ethan?"
They were terrified as they looked at Ethan, who was approaching them.
"Of course, to kill you."
"Ethan, we are a branch family of the country's big clans. Your town will be destroyed if we perish."
"I don't mind, but if your clans don't know how to act, I'm not afraid to destroy them."
Ethan chopped both of their heads, then proceeded to their homes and destroyed them.
********************************
"Elder, I heard Axel got hurt."
"Can I see him?"
Mu Yan stared at Mu Xue and spoke.
"We're leaving town."
"Elder, what happened? Why are we leaving?"
"Do you believe Axel will be hurt with a king-level martial behind him?"
"You think it was all a fake."
"I'm not sure, but something is connected."
"It's best if we get out of here before we become stuck in this whirlpool."
Mu Xue nodded after a brief consideration.
"All right, elder."
"Mu Fan."
"Yes, elder."
In Twilight Town, Mu fan was the head of the Mu family.
"Just do whatever Ethan asks."
"Don't do anything stupid."
Mu Fan looked puzzled and nodded.
"You'll understand after a while."
"Mu Xue, if you want to see Axel, you can see him last time."
"There is no need for that, elder."
Mu Yan was taken aback by her response and did not ask any questions. They left town after a while.
Not that Mu Xue didn't want to see Axel, but she believed that everything that happened was fake. She had fewer encounters with Axel, but she was unable to see through him. She believes it was all part of Axel's plan.
Mu Xue mumbled as he gazed towards Twilight City.
"I hope that we will meet again."
**************************
Next day.
"Have you heard the city ruler died?"
Ethan also shared all of the information he had prepared. He revealed everything about what happened yesterday.
Everyone was enraged after hearing the news.
"What a bastard"
"Deserved to die."
"We didn't expect city lord Edward to behave this way."
"Hmph...do you consider him a saint?"
"His greed killed him."
The following is the news.
The city lord collaborated with Walker and Cooper to assassinate Young Lord Axel, but he was saved at the last moment. Axel had been gravely injured and was being treated at the hospital.
Ethan also took the letter and posted it on the news, and when everyone saw it, they were furious that they had been deceived all these years. Ethan forwarded the letter to the government as well.
