Book 1: Believers of Light Chapter 19: Revenge

This summer rain came and went quickly, and the sky that had just been covered with dark clouds and heavy rain was now as blue as a wash. This heavy rain is like a god washing away the dirt of the sky and the killing of the earth by the way.

Shortly after Cowell left, the guards of Banyas City finally appeared. The leader of the squad looked at the corpses and the burned houses behind the corpses in disgust, he understood that this was just an ordinary vendetta in the muddy alley, and he had no interest in checking the scene in the slightest. The squad leader covered his nose and said to the soldiers behind him, "You guys clean up here." Then he turned and walked away. It was as if one more look at the corpses would pollute his eyes. The soldiers under his command also reluctantly walked up to the corpse, and one of the soldiers also viciously kicked the head of one of the corpses, but he did not expect that his kick would actually kick the corpse's head away. Looking at the heads that were rolling far on the ground, the other soldiers stopped for a moment and looked at each other hesitantly.

"My lord, these corpses seem to be a little strange. One of the attendants next to the squad leader saw the state of the soldiers and hurriedly reported to the squad leader. "Huh?" the squad leader glanced at his attendant dissatisfied. Of course, I know that these corpses are strange, but the boss has already explained it, so I don't need to bother with it. Besides, even if there is no explanation, there is no oil and water work, so what are you doing with your heart? It's a pity that these can't be said to the people under you. The squad leader had no choice but to cough, then turned around and said to the soldiers under him, "You don't have to worry so much, quickly clean up this garbage." With that, he walked away without looking back. The soldiers under his command sighed and began to carry the corpses. It's just that they didn't expect that all the corpses' heads had been cut open, and the wounds were extremely flat. Although they were a little shocked, the soldiers reluctantly accepted it. Anyway, they don't care, they don't care what they do, at most they will bother to clean up those heads.

Unbeknownst to Cowell, he was in a wooded area on the outskirts of Banyas, standing in front of a small grave bag with no tombstones. The sand in his hand fluttered on the grave bag in the wind, and Colwill squatted down and put three long swords, four dolls and three shields in front of the grave, "Jack, Tom, Cole, I brought you the weapons you wanted, Eileen, Ida, I bought new ones for you, you have a good rest here, I'm going to find Arthur and Alice!"

Cowell stood up, and then his figure suddenly flashed, and the man standing behind the tree observing Cowell felt that his eyes were not aware of Cowell's presence, and when he felt it again, Cowell was already standing in front of him, and the dagger in his hand was already on his neck. "I came on command, and with no malice. The man felt that if he didn't explain his actions well, then the man in front of him would kill him in an instant without hesitation. "I know, or you'd be dead. As soon as Cowell pulled his right hand, the dagger in his hand was put away, and the man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Cowell put the dagger away. It's just that he didn't expect that Cowell's right hand turned into a knife from his palm and slashed directly at his neck, and then his eyes went black and he passed out.

When he woke up again, it was already in a dilapidated house, and Colwell was in front of him, looking at him coldly. Before Cowell could open his mouth to ask, the man hurriedly said, "My name is Sangyi, and I was sent by the Grand Butler of Fukuna!" It's just that since he left the Adomondo family, he has severed ties with the Adomondo family, why is the Grand Butler of Fukuna contacting him at this moment, could it be that the matter of Mud Lane is related to the Adomondo family?

Thinking of this, Cowell Sangyi's eyes were a little unkind, and Sanyi also felt the change in Cowell's eyes. He hurriedly said, "The Grand Butler of Fukuna said that the head of the house already knows what happened in the mud alley, and the head of the house said that the Adomondo family is willing to help you, as long as you are willing to return to the Adomondo family. "Really?" Cowell looked at Sami suspiciously, "How do I know that what happened in Muddy Alley wasn't done by the Adomondo family to force me to go back?"

Colwill looked directly into Sonny's eyes, and Sunny felt as if he was being told by a poisonous snake that his life was in danger at any moment, and his gaze shifted slightly. Cowell straightened up in disappointment, and then said to Sangyi, "I don't need the Adomondo family to intervene in my affairs, if I find out that the Adomondo family is involved in this matter, then please be ready to accept my wrath." With that, Colwell left the house.

After Cowell left, Sang felt that the rope that had tied him had been loosened, and after untying the rope with his hands and feet, he hurried to the door, and Cowell was no longer visible outside the door.

As for how to find the mastermind behind the Mud Alley incident, Cowell has no idea for the time being. Cowell was also shocked that the other party could know his true face so clearly. Assassins who join the Shadow Council wear masks to hide their identities when they accept missions. And most of the enemies he knows so far are not in Banyas City, after all, his nest is in Banyas City, and when choosing tasks, Colwell carefully selects tasks that are far away from Banyas City. Although he occasionally does some small business in Banyas, Cowell knows that this kind of behavior is not enough to make the other party issue a task to kill himself at the Shadow Council, especially to provoke himself with the act of killing children, which is simply stupid!

And the immediate priority is not to find the mastermind behind the scenes, but to rescue Arthur and Alice first. Since the bodies of the two of them were not found in the rubble, Cowell had reason to believe that Arthur and Alice should have been caught as bargaining chips to threaten him. Cowell retrieved information about the enemies he knew to see which one might be trying to turn it against him. It's just that after thinking about it for a long time, Cowell didn't think of a suitable target. Could it be the gang of those people who killed a few days ago? Cowell had a flash of inspiration, but in the blink of an eye, Cowell gave up this idea, and that day Cowell quickly and neatly killed everyone, coupled with the help of heavy rain, Cowell believed that there was no trace of himself at the scene. And the gang that the group of people belonged to, Cowell had learned, was just a small gang that bullied men and women on weekdays, and its forces refused to reach the level of the Shadow Council at all.

Cowell thought about it for a long time, but still didn't have the slightest clue. Instead of wasting time here, you might as well ask someone to help. Thinking of this, Cowell's eyes became firm, Arthur, Alice, you wait, I will rescue you soon.

It was night, in front of a tavern. A man dressed in black and wearing a viper mask banged rhythmically on the tavern door. The tavern, which had long been closed, opened the door after the man knocked on it, and a head poked out, and after glancing left and right to make sure that there was no one, he said to the masked man: "This guest, I'm sorry that we have closed." "I'd like to buy a glass of wine. The masked man replied. "Sorry for this guest, we only have Berdog's wine. "Let's have a drink, then. The head inside the door saw that the man had already answered the code, and turned sideways to make way for it. The masked man didn't go in immediately, but stretched out a finger and pointed at his mask before entering the tavern.

The tavern may be small, but it has a lot to offer. After the person who opened the door saw the mask man pass the last code, he no longer doubted it, and directly opened the secret passage hidden behind the counter, and the mask man was not ambiguous, and directly got into the secret passage.

After crawling in the dark passage for a long time, the end of the secret passage gradually became bright. After crawling for a while, the masked man finally climbed out of the secret passage and into a hall.

After slightly adapting to the light in the hall, the masked man, who was already familiar with everything here, walked directly to a house, and the people sitting in the hall were a little uncomfortable when they saw the poisonous snake face worn by the masked man, and some even held weapons in their hands, while the masked man turned a blind eye to it.

When I opened the door, I was greeted by an old man sitting behind a desk writing and an empty chair. The masked man unceremoniously pulled out a chair and sat down, while the old man behind the table just looked up and continued to write.

The masked man sat in his chair and didn't speak, just looked at the old man quietly. After a long time, the old man finally stopped the pen in his hand, and he leaned back and said, "What are you looking for me?" and "I want to know who did what happened." The masked man spoke. "You know the rules. The old man glanced at the masked man and said. "I'll pay the price for it. The masked man responded. "You can't afford it. For the sake of our long-standing friendship, I can only tell you that your enemy is the most powerful presence in Banyas. Leave, or I'll be interested in earning the thousand gold. The old man closed his eyes and recuperated.

The masked man knew that he would not get any more news, and he didn't bother with it, so he just stood up and walked outside the house. The masked man who walked outside the house squinted at the people sitting around him, sneered, and then slipped into the secret passage.

Under the bright moonlight, the masked man walked leisurely down the street. Suddenly, the masked man stopped walking without warning, and the dagger appeared in his hand out of thin air, and was then thrown by the masked man in an empty direction. With a muffled grunt, a corpse emerged from the shadows.

The masked man walked up to the corpse and stomped on the dagger with his foot, and the assassin, who had wanted to pretend to be dead and wait for the opportunity to attack Cowell, immediately screamed in pain. "If you want to take the 1,000 gold coins, the premise is that you have a life flower. The masked man took off the viper mask and revealed that it was Cowell.

Cowell's lips twitched slightly, and the small turquoise snake that appeared before resurfaced from Cowell's right palm, "Go ahead." With Cowell's order, the little emerald snake swooped down on the face of the Assassin who was still wailing on the ground.

With a scream, Colwell no longer paid attention to the life of the Assassin lying on the ground. Look to the east of Banyas City, where the most powerful people in Banyas live, and where the Adomondo family also lived.

The bewitching Flower of Vengeance will bloom in Banyas City!
