“Miler, I didn't expect you to still have strength left in that old body of yours! Why are you being so stubborn just because of a little girl who is not from our family?” The silver-haired middle-aged man stared intently at the white-bearded old geezer who was standing beside his female colleague's corpse.
"Diroth! Have you all gone mad?! Do you two know that this little girl is the bloodline left behind by our benefactor?! Ten years ago our Dorl Family was going through an extermination crisis, but it was all averted because of his parents!”
"Of course I know all of that, not only do I know that even everyone in the Dorl Family knows it!"
“But Elder Miller, this is all our duty. As the main descendants of the members of the Dorl Family, the only obligation we have is to follow the orders of the head of the family. As long as the order is for the welfare of the Dorl Family, I won't even hesitate to sacrifice myself!” The silver-haired middle-aged man spoke in a cold tone.
Then the silver-haired middle-aged man named Diroth continued his sentence with a look in his eyes that seemed to belittle the white-bearded old geezer's actions, “We are all doing this for the welfare of the Dorl Family! But what about you Elder Miller?! Do you really want to sacrifice people from your own bloodline instead of sacrificing outsiders like that little girl?!”
When Grandpa Miller heard those words, he felt a slight pain in his heart. Grandpa Miller knew that no matter how he argued, it was all true.
Unlike the other elders, only he alone had no bloodline at all. It wasn't that Miller's grandfather had an abnormality in his body, it was just that he had once loved someone. But unfortunately, the woman he loved had been killed while the two were running errands together, then Grandpa Miller has never loved anyone other than that woman.
Just when Grandpa Miller thought he would die of old age with no one by his side, he witnessed the birth of the little girl with his own two eyes. Then a year after the birth of the little girl, the two benefactors entrusted their baby, Claris Lily, to the Dorl Family.
Then with his own two hands, Grandpa Miller took care of the little girl from infancy to her present age. But that peace didn't last long after the people of the Dorl Family found out how special the little girl's Battle Soul bloodline was.
When the silver-haired middle-aged man named Diroth saw Elder Miller's reaction, a smirk immediately appeared on his face. Then he glanced slightly at his comrade who was wearing a bow and gave a secret signal.
The middle-aged man wielding a bow immediately understood the meaning of the glance and responded by nodding his head. Then the middle-aged man who wielded a bow started to aim at the small figure that was behind the wreckage of the wooden carriage of the horse carriage.
"Unlucky!"
By the time Grandpa Miller reacted, the black arrow had shot out of the middle-aged man's bow.
Swoosh!
The black arrow quickly headed towards the little girl who was still in the wreckage of the wooden carriage of the horse carriage.
Puffs!
Before the black arrow could hit the little girl's body, a flame suddenly lit up and began to burn the black arrow to ashes.
“I really feel very sick of hearing all of you talking! Sacrificing yourself for the welfare of others? Bullsh*t! Didn't you accept this little girl's pursuit mission because of the generous reward your family heads have offered you?"
“Damn, who was it that just interfered with our business?! This is a private matter belonging to our Dorl family!”
The middle-aged man holding the crossbow was annoyed when he saw that his black arrow had been easily crushed by an unknown fire attack. With a look full of anger, the middle-aged male archer began to look carefully at his surroundings.
Then the middle-aged male archer saw a human figure wearing a black robe leaning against a tree trunk. The figure stared at him with her two beautiful eyes like ruby gems. That's right, this figure was William who was camouflaging his height using a black robe.
“The Dorl Family's personal business? The actions of all of you are really very brave! Don't you know that this territory belongs to my Family?”
When William finished saying that, the voice immediately resounded throughout the camp.
“Your Family Territory? Are you a descendant of the Lux Family?”
Not only was old geezer Miller stunned by what he had just heard, but the two remaining pursuers had grim expressions on both of their faces.
The atmosphere at the campsite which was originally filled with chaos and noise slowly began to turn into a gloomy silence.
"As I thought, borrowing someone else's great reputation can actually manipulate the opponent's psychological fear." William was talking to himself as he tightly gripped the book of cause and effect in his hands.
If the opponent didn't stop at all after he announced the Lux Family's background, then there was only one outcome left for William. It was using the book of cause and effect ability to attack the two.
If indeed the Lux Family's reputation couldn't frighten those two pursuers, then it would mean that the power possessed by the Dorl Family was stronger than the power possessed by the Lux family.
“That's right, I am Liam Lux who comes from the main bloodline of the Lux Family! In charge of the entire southern region of the Feysac Kingdom!”
The bold statement issued by William's mouth instantly quickly made the silence at night even more terrifying.
But the eerie silence didn't last very long.
“Liam Lux from the main lineage of the Lux Family? Too bad I never heard of that name!” The middle-aged man named Diroth shook his head, then he glanced slightly at the archer not far from him and started to continue his sentence, “After all, it doesn't matter what status you have in this world, as long as no one knows who killed you then the Lux Family doesn't care. will never be able to find the answer!”
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Unlike the previous black arrow attack, this time the sound vibrations that covered the black arrow had a different rhythm.
The first one has a very low sound vibration rhythm, this black arrow is slower than the other black arrows. It was like a boulder but contained a terrifying power that could break iron easily.
The second has a very fast sound vibration rhythm, this black arrow has twice the speed of the other black arrows. It was like a high-caliber sniper bullet that could easily pierce thick iron.
The third one had a normal sound vibration rhythm, the black arrow actually moved very normally without the slightest fluctuation. But even though it looked normal, this black arrow with a normal rhythm of sound vibration contained a more terrifying power than the previous two black arrows. The calm and normalcy surrounding the black arrow were like the last seconds before the explosion.
William asked permission from the head of the Dorl family to marry himself to the little girl. He made up a lie like he would allow the two families to cooperate if the little girl was given to him.
