The maid Sara took the snow-white ceramic tray and placed a plate of chopped avocados, a few freshly baked and steaming snacks on his desk, and a glass of grape and fruit wine, which was said to be healthy, and after carefully putting these things down, she straightened up and was about to leave—

"Wait."

"Master, what's the matter?"

"I seem to notice that I haven't seen Sidney in a while."

"Ahh......h

Speaking of the young master of the Collins family, the maid Sara seemed to be suddenly shocked, as a confidant servant who had served Maddock for many years, she had the heart to talk about it, but she didn't know how to say it-

In the City Lord's Mansion, there are already quite a few people who know the recent whereabouts of Young Master Sidney.

"He and his wife had a fight that day, and then they moved out of the City Lord's Mansion."

"That day? What day is it? He's back in his fiefdom? But why didn't I get a report from the Knight of Dardanelle? ”

"I—I don't know."

Sarah's reply was a little flustered. The Earl sent out a barrage of questions in an instant, but she knew very well that these questions were not easy for her as a maid-in-waiting.

She knew the Earl's temperament: what he feared most was for someone to meddle in something other than his identity.

"Go look for that kid and say I just wanted to see him."

Maddock frowned, he had occasionally heard of some of his son's actions and actions in the city of Karthas—

Frivolous and debauched, greedy for beauty. However, these things are not bad or unforgivable acts among nobles, as long as he has outstanding force or excellent mind, he is a qualified nobleman.

Sidney's mother was a noble lady he liked very much when he was young, and even if Princess Lina married into the Collins family in those years, she did not take away half of his affection for that young lady, but after a sudden and incurable serious illness, Si died, and he gradually became more and more doted on the only son left by the young lady.

Many years later, the adult Sidney is not a martial artist, his personal strength is far inferior to Andrew, and his demeanor and demeanor are also far from Alpha-

This time Princess Samantha came to Karthas, and he felt it necessary to call Sidney in front of him to discipline him well, lest he cause any accidents during this time and damage the face of the Collins family.

……

"Their direction seems to be the City Lord's Mansion?"

"I think you finally got it right this time. The cavalry of the City Guard, who had opened the way for martial law in the streets, had just passed, and it was clear from the route they were traveling. ”

"Andrew has been by the side of Her Royal Highness the princess, and he doesn't seem to be leaving for the time being."

"So, we have to be patient."

In the dark alleyways on one side of the street, the sound of conversation continues—

At this moment, a passer-by passed through the alley and saw such a sneaky figure, and the passerby's face showed a look of panic - generally speaking, the guys who gather in these secluded, dark alleys at night are often not good people.

Most likely, it's a gang of ruffians, hooligans, or wandering mercenaries engaged in shady business.

He stopped, then quickly turned.

"Stop."

The "wandering artist" in fancy costumes let out a high-pitched voice and stopped the passerby.

"Did you hear us?"

"No, no."

"Heh, anyway, you've come here, and all you can say is that you're unlucky today."

"What do you want to do?"

The passer-by showed an extremely frightened look, and he saw that the "wandering artist" instantly turned into a vague, almost invisible shadow, and in it, there seemed to be a cold cold light.

Like a gust of wind, it blew past him.

A bright red line appeared on the skin of his neck in an instant, and passers-by had the intention to shout - he knew that the security cavalry of the city guard was in the street outside, but his throat seemed to be stuffed with something, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make the slightest sound.

Sharp pain that tears a nerve.

He suddenly saw the figure in front of him, it was this "wandering artist". An arm like a poisonous snake wrapped around his neck, and with a casual twist, the red line burst open, and blood splattered, staining the ground in the alley and the walls of the buildings on one side a terrible red.

The headless corpse, and the head, the head that rolled to the corner of the wall, left a long trail of blood on the ground.

The bloody head slammed against the wall with a muffled thud.

"Just killing someone, is it necessary to make such a big move?"

The old mercenary glanced at it and saw that the "wandering artist" had put away the dagger that had just been used to cut his throat, and said unhappily.

"Hehe, Mr. Congreve, it's just a trivial personal hobby."

"The smell of blood is very likely to get you into trouble."

"Are you lecturing me?"

The "wandering artist" looked at the old mercenary with bad intentions, and a smile that resembled sarcasm appeared on his face.

"Tang Di, stop arguing."

The "mustachioed merchant" stopped between the two, took a deep breath, and said in a fair tone, "We have been hired by Mr. Congreve, and we must be worthy of our share of the commission. ”

"So what? When it comes to fighting, I'll never back down. ”

He looked at some of the figures around him and said, "Not like those useless cowards." ”

"You!"

These words were undoubtedly a map cannon that hurt the onlookers, and suddenly, several pairs of eyes cast unkind glances at him.

The response was a cold laugh.

"Pablo Bloodstab" is a loose and cruel organization, they have never forbidden, even acquiesced and encouraged members to fight each other, countless life and death battles, and the living ones are the real strong.

Tang Di is the top ten bounty hunters of "Pablo Bloodstab", although the other people are not weak, but when it comes to killing, there is still a big gap compared to this guy's brilliant record.

The "mustachioed trader" tried his best to mediate, and it was only after this unexpected conflict that it was finally calmed down temporarily.

The old mercenary, on the other hand, withdrew his gaze from the distant street scene beyond the alleyway. The scene just now made him nostalgic for "Gray Vulture" Hunter, compared to Tang Di in front of him, the "Gray Vulture", who was once ranked first in "Pablo's Blood Thorn", is not only stronger, but also has such a bad personality.

It's just that kid seems to have broken off all ties with the organization. Ever since the day the Silver Leaf Town was farewell, he was like a stone that sank to the bottom of the sea, and he has not been heard from since.

The ribcage rises and falls slightly.

In the cold night wind, a few canine barks could be heard in the distance.

Princess Samantha and her entourage faded away through the streets.

After a few brief discussions, several black figures, like agile tanuki, quickly climbed the walls and roofs, and disappeared into the night.
