Chapter 221: Your shamelessness is just like mine back in the day.

“Were you trying to trick that little kitty again just now? I noticed the way she looked at you was filled with adoration.”

After some time, the Knight of Vol Temple finally pieced together most of Nicole’s identity, but he truly couldn’t bring himself to harm such a naive and adorable little cat.

Little Will said indifferently, “It’s just a simple method of defection. It still requires a long period of accumulation and corruption to take effect.

She’s already preparing to leave Drakecity and return to the beastmen tribe. I plan to give her more delicious food, at least enough to ensure she eats well even in human territory. What do you think?”

“Excellent!” The Knight of Vol Temple gave a thumbs up.

If Little Will could really use gourmet food to entice a great beastman warrior to defect, it would be a groundbreaking event, and could even be promoted as a powerful weapon against beastman warriors in the future.

The second person in the Everything Store to recognize Nicole’s identity was Ice. Her strength was undeniable, and she naturally had her own way of judging powerful individuals.

Nicole’s disguised strength was a major flaw in itself, and being hired by Little Will for five hamburgers made her the laughingstock of the entire Everything Store.

“Later, quietly tell everyone else about Nicole’s identity, and emphasize that Nicole is a devout follower of the Beast God, staunchly resists hellish demons, and is irreconcilably opposed to those beastmen who have sided with the hellish demons.”

Little Will’s words made the Knight of Vol Temple exclaim in admiration. In the face of the great task of resisting hellish demons, all races and factions needed to unite.

This was the unspoken understanding of everyone on the continent. And now, a localized war orchestrated by hellish demons had emerged in Mabust County.

These invading foreign races were precisely on the side of the hellish demons. It was truly brilliant to have Nicole, a pure beastman, resolve the issue of beastman traitors who had sided with the hellish demons!

With this protective charm, no one would dare to lay a hand on her for a short period, otherwise, they might be considered a demon worshipper.

In fact, Little Will had also planned for Nicole to deal with the great wolfman warrior, and she had agreed. Siding with hellish demons was a betrayal of the beastman race and the Beast God, and Nicole strongly agreed with this point.

She was very grateful to Little Will for letting her eliminate such a traitor and promised to complete the mission.

The pursuit of the great wolfman warrior was not very smooth. The cunning great wolfman warrior evaded their searches several times.

However, a final intermediate wolfman warrior was not so lucky and was used as bait, falling into their hands, and was personally slain by Nicole.

Before executing him, Nicole severely announced his crimes, especially his betrayal of his race and faith, leaving the intermediate wolfman warrior unable to refute.

You say everyone is using each other? But don’t forget, in the face of hellish demons, all racial and internal conflicts must take a backseat.

This is something everyone knows. Not actively standing up against hellish demons is wrong, let alone colluding with hellish demons to jointly oppose the human race.

When he heard that the hellish demons had originally planned to perform a blood sacrifice on Mabust City to open the gates of hell, the intermediate wolfman warrior had little fighting spirit left.

He was very aggrieved and was beheaded by Nicole in three swift strikes.

“You truly have the potential to be a charlatan.” The Knight of Vol Temple gave Little Will a thumbs up.

If anyone were to say that Nicole herself came up with such grand pronouncements, the Knight of Vol Temple would surely give them a resounding slap.

That naive cat girl, that fool who was easily bribed by five hamburgers, would have such eloquence? Haha, whether you believe it or not, I certainly won’t.

However, my friend Will, if you teach her to be so righteous, how will she survive in the beastman tribe where practical interests are highly valued? Isn’t this clearly trying to force her to come back?

“Am I wrong to be a good person and establish a correct outlook on life for her?” Little Will’s righteous demeanor made Vol give a thumbs up: “Your shamelessness reminds me of my younger days.”

After three days and three nights of pursuit,

the poison on the great wolfman warrior had largely been worn off. With his battle qi just recovered, the great wolfman warrior immediately launched a counterattack.

However, the unfortunate great wolfman warrior was first severely wounded by Ice’s frost attacks, then a senior knight and two senior warriors teamed up to battle him for three hundred rounds.

Finally, even Little Will and the Knight of Vol Temple joined in to gain some experience.

When Nicole finally stepped forward to slay him, the bastard directly unleashed his innate ability and fled.

Hmm, he was still carrying an arrow from the police dog!

It was Little Will’s first time seeing Ice and a great warrior fight head-on, and only then did he understand why close-combat professionals disliked fighting spellcasters.

Ice’s crowd control ability was simply too strong. She could attack, defend, and control. An invisible freezing spell carried a powerful slowing effect.

A dense shower of ice spikes left no place to hide, forcing one to endure the blow. Want to get close? Haha, try the ice cone forest and thorny ice shield first.

This was Little Will’s first time witnessing such a major battle, and its inspiration for him was immense.

It’s important to know that Little Will’s innate ability was also magic-oriented, very similar to Ice’s abilities, yet even more comprehensive.

Mana shaping, what if it were transparent? Ice magic was also a type of magic and within Little Will’s control.

This kind of ability, capable of both crowd control and offense, was truly powerful. Ice was definitely the ace of the Everything Store.

It was both a coincidence and inevitable. On the fifth day of pursuing the great wolfman warrior, Little Will and his group passed by the triumphant army of Drakecity, only a dozen miles apart.

Actually, thinking about it, it was normal. The foreign assassin team couldn’t openly advance along the main road, otherwise they would have been discovered early on.

Nor could they take too long a detour, as their mission was very urgent and they couldn’t spend a lot of time exploring new routes, what if they got lost?

So, maintaining a certain distance from the main road, but never straying too far, was the best option.

Just then, a letter was delivered to Lyte Kendall and Molly Kendall.

Their father had been placed under house arrest by the Noble Arbitration Court due to his involvement in a noble assassination, and with no one in charge at home, the family’s assets were being encroached upon by many other nobles, resulting in heavy losses.

Lyte Kendall’s heart sank with a “thump,” and he suddenly had a very bad premonition.

What earth-shattering event had his foolish father done this time? The Noble Arbitration Court was not a good place, and this time it seemed the family was in a very unfavorable situation.

The Kendall family had great influence in Drakecity, so much so that even Count Bordeaux had to consult with their family on major matters.

He knew that being in a high position required diligence and caution, like walking on thin ice, considering everything three times, otherwise it would be easy to be caught with weaknesses and attacked by many.

At the same time, he also needed great achievements to support the family’s status, which was the main reason he and his sister Molly actively and proactively embarked on the expedition against the foreign races in Mabust County.

“Who was assassinated?” Molly, a senior knight, had no particular fondness for so-called nobles, considering them merely parasites whose removal would benefit Drakecity.

“Lord Will Declan.” The messenger, an intermediate warrior, spoke in a low voice, but his words struck Lyte and Molly like a thunderclap, leaving them stunned for a long time.

Lyte Kendall’s face turned ashen. He took a deep breath and said coldly, “Tell me the whole story, from beginning to end, honestly and clearly.”

The intermediate warrior was also very aggrieved. So he recounted how, after Miss Molly left, the steward responsible for renovating the youth activity center had embezzled and taken bribes by cutting corners.

And how the guards responsible for watching over that property conspired to bully the owner, who had no background, taking advantage of the situation to seize benefits worth tens of thousands of gold coins.

Then, how the young lord, with a group of people, forcefully suppressed them and refused to accept the substandard project, leading the resentful steward to directly report him to the Church of the Morning Goddess.

What followed was even more outrageous. Viscount Kendall not only did not come forward to handle the matter, but instead told the offending steward to “resolve” it.

Yes, the word he used was “resolve,” not “apologize.”

Then, that steward, along with the expelled guards, boldly investigated Will’s superficial information very thoroughly, and then by a strange twist of fate, ran into wolfman assassins who were in the process of assassinating a city guard captain.

The two sides hit it off immediately and planned to team up to eliminate the city guard instructor.

So, while Lord Will Declan was stationed at the city guard camp, they attacked the camp from one side, while the other side broke into the Declan family home.

As a result, they were instantly killed by a single spell, leaving behind a pile of corpses.

Afterward, Majes filed an application for noble arbitration. Count Bordeaux, upon receiving the investigation results from the city hall, placed Viscount Kendall under house arrest and simultaneously arrested several capable stewards of the Kendall family to assist in the investigation.

“Miss Lilith can currently only barely manage to prevent excessive family losses. Half a month ago, she ordered me to send a letter to the young master and young lady, but it was intercepted and burned by the patriarch.”

The intermediate warrior was truly aggrieved. He was just an attendant warrior, and both Lyte, Molly, and Lilith could order him around, not to mention the patriarch.

“Can you confirm that the despicable steward was indeed colluding with those foreign races? Is it possible it was a coincidence? That they just happened to appear together in front of Lord Will Declan’s house?” Lyte still held a glimmer of hope.

“The attendant sent by the steward to notify the Church of the Morning Goddess had no combat ability and was not present at the scene of the crime.

We found him afterward, and he knew everything from beginning to end. The steward found the expelled guards and personally admitted that the patriarch ordered him to ‘resolve’ Lord Will Declan.

He was also present when they colluded with those foreign races.” The intermediate warrior’s words completely shattered his illusion and made him truly realize the source of this crisis.

Son of Fortune, karmic backlash! While he was using others’ fortune to achieve success, his family wanted to kill their entire family.

It would be strange if there wasn’t a backlash.

“You mean to say, that steward wanted to kill Little Will’s entire family, is that right?” Molly, the senior knight, looked at the intermediate warrior attendant, enunciating each word, gritting her teeth.

The latter remained silent. As an elder of the family, he knew that Miss Molly had a very good friend who was Lord Will Declan’s mother.

“You said the old man has been under house arrest all this time, and hasn’t been immediately tried?” Lyte suddenly noticed something unusual.

“Lord Will Declan is leading people to hunt down the great wolfman warrior, the great wolfman warrior who assassinated three city guard captains.”

The intermediate warrior recounted how Will had captured all the elite foreign races and wolfman assassins, with only one great warrior escaping wounded, and Little Will had led people in pursuit and had not yet returned.

“He’s giving us time, a final effort before things become irreversible.” Lyte instantly understood his plan, but his heavy heart didn’t feel much lighter.

While he was stationed in the rear ensuring the city guard’s safety, and he was leading the city guard on the front lines, achieving great deeds, his family was thinking of annihilating the entire family of such a meritorious official.

Even more terrifying was that they also had a backer, the Wizard of Stardashan. This was a formidable obstacle that couldn’t be avoided.

“What would be the consequences if the Wizard of Stardashan knew his daughter was assassinated?” Molly, the senior knight, was very concerned about Majes, and also had a difficult relationship with her foolish father.

But blood was thicker than water, and Viscount Kendall was a relative she couldn’t abandon.

“Some people must make sacrifices, like sacrificing a rook to save the king.” Lyte was also helpless. He needed some time to make a decision. It was time to make a choice!

The Kendall family of Drakecity had reached a point where reform was necessary.
