Chapter 2007 - 1825: The Primeval Forest
The next day.
Marquis Yineye originally planned to inform the Desla Family that Wolf Castle did not intend to cooperate with them and to ask them to leave.
Who would have thought that just as he stepped out of the castle the next day, he would see the Desla Family and the Dark Holy See confronting each other in the courtyard, with tensions high.
"Hmph, Desla Family, don’t think we don’t know. You secretly had Beni rush over from the UK, attempting to ambush and kill our people from the Dark Holy See. This matter has already been leaked."
"Stop talking nonsense, when have we ever done such a thing."
"Look for yourself, it’s clearly written on this paper. Is it possible that the names Beni and Keno are false? You think that with no marquis here from the Dark Holy See, you can rely on Beni to bully us? Impossible!"
"This paper is all fake, are you brainless? You actually believe this."
"What? Are you calling me brainless!"
"Giving you a random piece of paper and you take it as evidence. Even if you have a brain, your IQ isn’t high."
"It seems like the Desla Family doesn’t take the Dark Holy See seriously. You may have a marquis, but we have more than you. If we’re going to fight, then bring it on."
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, the butler beside Yineye said, "Master, what should we do?"
Yineye revealed a schadenfreude smile and said, "Let them fight. Neither the Dark Holy See nor the Desla Family are good."
"Hmph, do you think the Dark Holy See is so powerful? Let me tell you, our Desla Family has already recruited four of the Crown of Twelve."
Someone from the Desla Family suddenly shouted.
The Crown of Twelve!
Upon hearing this, the members of the Dark Holy See, who were clamoring, immediately shut their mouths.
Even Yineye, who was planning to temporarily avoid the conflict, stopped in his tracks.
Keno, who was leading the Desla Family on this mission, glared at the family member who spoke, obviously blaming them for leaking information.
Unwilling to say more, Keno said in a deep voice, "That paper, anyone with eyes can see it’s fake. If the Dark Holy See insists on pursuing this, our Desla Family will definitely accompany them."
After speaking, he looked towards Yineye’s side and shouted, "Marquis Yineye, it seems that the matter of seeking the Ice Crystal Holy Grail cannot be a cooperative effort among our three parties. The Desla Family will take their leave first."
With that, Keno led the members of the Desla Family away with grand strides.
The Dark Holy See was somewhat at a loss, still thinking about the matter of the Crown of Twelve.
It wasn’t until the Desla Family’s people had driven out of the manor that the Dark Holy See somewhat regained their composure.
"Marquis Yineye, it seems this cooperation cannot proceed. We from the Dark Holy See will also take our leave."
The people of the Dark Holy See followed shortly after the Desla Family, leaving the manor.
They must immediately send people to the Komi Primitive Forest and cannot afford to be slower than the Desla Family.
Yineye stood in place, never expecting that before he could issue an eviction order, both parties would withdraw on their own.
He remained silent for a while, his face showing a grave expression, muttering, "No wonder the Desla Family is so arrogant, it turns out they’ve recruited four from the Crown of Twelve. If these four fully assist the Desla Family, how should we respond!?"
In that moment, Master Yineye, who was always calm and collected, also furrowed his brows.
He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and told the butler, "Send those who have long been prepared to the Komi Primitive Forest, and do everything possible to obtain the Ice Crystal Holy Grail."
...
After the Desla Family left, they headed straight to a manor they owned in France.
At the manor, they found Beni severely injured.
The family members couldn’t believe their eyes.
As a lower marquis, Beni’s bat wings were destroyed, his left hand severed, and he was on the verge of death.
They already knew Beni was injured by Song Yun, so they didn’t ask much.
However, everyone was filled with doubts, as Song Yun was indeed strong, but could he really have beaten Beni so severely?
Moreover, the battle that happened in Bakaf Town ended instantly.
Could it be that Song Yun could crush Beni?
For a moment, the minds of the Desla Family were full of questions.
Keno couldn’t help but finally asked, "Master Beni, what exactly happened?"
Beni lifted his eyelids slightly and said weakly, "I thought all night and finally figured it out. That kid named Song Yun has a treasure that can release a wave of black energy with tremendous destructive power that even a lower marquis can’t withstand."
"Black energy wave?"
Keno was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned as he said, "Song Yun indeed has a broken sword that can release black Sword Qi. Could it be that Master Beni was injured by that Sword Qi?"
"It should be."
Beni nodded slightly.
Kenny said with a serious expression, "I knew that sword was powerful, but I didn’t expect that his broken sword could injure a marquis."
Beni said, "Last night, he had been preparing for a long time, waiting for my appearance, catching me off guard. It proves he definitely knew I would go. I suspect there’s a traitor among us."
A traitor!
The Desla Family looked at each other, all showing signs of caution.
"There’s no traitor."
Keno shook his head and pondered, "Based on my guess, Song Yun should have infiltrated Bailuode Manor last night, stole my and Master Beni’s email records, and that’s how he knew Master Beni would go to kill him. Furthermore, the data that the Dark Holy See had was probably also forged by Song Yun."
Hearing this, everyone was amazed.
"So we were played by Song Yun?"
"Yes."
Keno, although unwilling to admit it, had to nod.
For a moment, the expressions of the Desla Family members were more and more unpleasant.
