“Lord Count…”
Saken stared blankly at Colin, who had collapsed on the ground with blood seeping from his seven orifices, completely dumbfounded.
He thought he had clearly warned him that the book, “Origin of the Golden Tail Butterfly Badge,” concealed deadly smog and should not be opened…
But why would Count Angler insist on opening this particular book?
While Saken was at a loss, a pair of hands suddenly pressed on his shoulders, pulling him back a few steps.
“Stay away, make sure you don’t inhale the smoke.”
Saken turned around and saw Cadina, who had somehow appeared behind him, watching Colin collapse on the ground with satisfaction.
Colin’s state was pitifully pathetic.
His face was red as a cooked crab, with large amounts of blood pouring out of his eyes, nose, and mouth. His chest washeaved violently like a broken bellows, but it seemed he couldn’t take in much air. With gasping sounds coming from his mouth, he looked as if he would die at any moment.
But his eyes were still staring intently at Cadina, as if he was using all his strength to ask:
“You… Who are you… ”
Cadina gave a slight smile and said, “Count Angler, I just swore loyalty to you not long ago. Have you forgotten me so soon?”
Colin, panting heavily, continued to stare at Cadina, as if unsatisfied with her response.
Cadina, watching the agony of her enemy, reveled in her victory and couldn’t help but gloat:
“Remember my name, Colin Angler – Cadina St. Sean! When you’re in hell, make sure not to curse the wrong person.”
“St… St. Sean!” Colin’s eyes widened in horror and disbelief.
Cadina, further delighted, laughed, “Yes, Colin Angler, did you ever expect that you, who repeatedly disrupted the plans of the St. Sean family, would finally get your just rewards!
My father will be very pleased if he knew I have succeeded in killing you!
“Your father… is…” Colin struggled to ask.
“You don’t know my father?” Cadina smirked mysteriously, “You’re one of the people he most wants to kill.”
Colin’s eyes widened with sudden understanding: “Mr… Mr. Ji…”
Cadina merely smiled, neither confirming nor denying.
Saken, who had been stunned, couldn’t help but ask: “Knight Cadina, what is your real purpose in coming to the Morrison family?”
The hand Cadina had on Saken’s shoulder tightened slightly, adding a hint of threat to her tone, “Of course, my presence in Phoenix Butterfly Fort is to uphold the friendship between the Morrison and the St. Sean families. What else could it be?”
Saken couldn’t believe that anymore.
Mr. Ji is now synonymous with the devil in the Empire of Glory.
To say that his daughter infiltrated the Morrison family under a pseudonym just for the sake of friendship between the two families was laughable.
Saken quietly clenched his fists, his previous suspicions about Count Angler now mostly confirmed. He asked again:
“How did my father die after all?”
Cadina’s gaze flickered. She said impassively, “Of course he was forced to death by Colin Angler. That’s why we’re seeking revenge on him.”
“Is that so?” Saken was grinding his teeth.
Cadina gave a slight smile, her dark eyes staring into Saken’s, saying in a forceful tone, “Knight Saken, you know who stripped the Morrison family of its nobility and territory, don’t you? Your enemy is right in front of your eyes, so don’t make a misconception at this moment.”
“How did my father die after all?” Saken kept his gaze firmly on Cadina and asked persistently.
Cadina seemed somewhat helpless. She said coolly, “Since you insist on knowing, let me tell you the truth. I poisoned your father.”
Saken’s eyes widened at her words. He roared, “I’ll kill you!”
However, their strength was mismatched. Cadina twisted Saken’s arm with the hand on his shoulder, dislocating it, then landed a punch in his gut, causing him to kneel on the ground retching.
“Saken, If you can’t see the situation clearly and distinguish friend from foe, don’t blame me for not being polite. Your father serves as a warning. If you don’t want to follow in his footsteps, cooperate with me.”
Cadina reached out and grabbed Saken’s chin, forcing him to look at her. She continued coldly:
“With Colin Angler’s death in Phoenix Butterfly Fort, your Morrison family will inevitably become the public enemy of the North Territory. At this moment, the only people who can provide your family with a lifeline are us, the St. Sean family.
So, let go of that senseless hatred and obsession, face reality.”
“Saken… don’t believe her… St Sean… they can’t possibly protect you…”
Hearing Colin’s struggling advice, Cadina turned her head and said to him triumphantly:
“Count, you don’t need to worry about that.”
Then she turned back to Saken and said, “Cooperating with me is the only way out for the Morrison family. Colin Angler is dead, and the Blood Knight Army will surely go wild. So, if you don’t want Floral City to turn into a human hell, you must strike first.
You go and fake a command from Colin Angler, order the officers of the Blood Knight Army to gather in the Knight Hall of Phoenix Butterfly Fort. My people have filled the basement of the Knight Hall with Wildfire, which could blow all these officers to death!
With the leadership system crippled, no matter how fierce the Blood Knight Army is, they will be in chaos. And then, the Morrison family will have a chance to regain Floral City!”
Upon hearing this, Saken still glared at Cadina angrily, seeming unwilling to cooperate.
Cadina frowned, about to threaten again, when she heard Colin’s voice:
“Is that your plan?”
Cadina was about to retort, but then she was taken aback. She noticed that Colin’s voice was full and smooth, completely devoid of the gasping quality it had before.
She turned around in surprise to find Colin, who had been on the verge of death, standing up as if nothing had happened.
“You! How can you…”
Colin wiped the blood off his face and said indifferently, “Do you really think the officers of the Blood Knight Army are idiots? Fake my commands? Heh.
“If you can come up with such a clumsy plan, then Mr. Ji must not be in Phoenix Butterfly Fort.”
In fact, the main reason that Colin faked his death using the Blood Clan’s immunity to poison was to determine whether Mr. Ji was in Phoenix Butterfly Fort or not.
After all, the only person in the St. Sean family who posed a threat to him was Mr. Ji.
He didn’t want to experience having his heart burst again.
Cadina widened her eyes in disbelief as she looked at Colin, but then she quickly recovered, turned around, and tried to flee at a fast pace.
“Think you can escape?”
Colin laughed. In an instance, he was behind Cadina. He reached out and pressed down heavily on her!
Bang!
