Chapter 17: Murder in the Night
At 1 o'clock in the morning, it was the dead of night.
A thick fog has risen in Birmingham, filling the bustling city and making the city's roads damp.
Tap··· Tap··· Tapping····
The horse's hooves cracked, and a blackened carriage emerged from the fog.
In the carriage was Dylan, who had just left the banquet and was heading to the hotel where he was staying.
Inside the carriage, Dylan was tirelessly breathing Miss Maria. I don't know why, every time I see Maria's cold expression like Hannah, Dylan can't help but feel a little uneasy.
However, because he was afraid of Maria's strength, he only dared to use some verbal skills. At this point, Dylan was saying, "If you can catch me, I'll let you..." Hey, hey, hey. ”
After the joke was finished, Maria's face was still as pale as frost, but she just gave Dylan a cold look and ignored him.
Laughing all the way, the carriage returned to the hotel where he was staying. The two got out of the carriage and were about to knock on the door, when Mary suddenly reached out to stop Dylan, who was about to enter the door, and said "There is an ambush".
The property has been booked for a month and no other guests are allowed. If there is an ambush inside, then the enemy will only come at him.
Thinking of this, Dylan shouted inside: "Come out!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw more than a dozen men in leather clothes burst out of the dark room. The weapons in these people's hands were all frosted, and it seemed that they had been waiting here for a long time.
"I didn't sleep at night, and I ran to the hotel where I stayed, and it didn't seem that he came to play with me. Say, who sent you, and I will spare you from dying. Dylan patted the rapier at his waist, intending to talk to them.
The other party didn't seem to have the intention of talking, but he saw a man in front of him, whose face was full of scars, sneered twice, and then waved his hand forward, and a group of leather-clad men all rushed towards the two.
At this time, Maria, as Dylan's nominal bodyguard, rushed forward. Maria intercepted 10 of them, leaving 3 to lunge at Dylan.
This is the second time since Dylan came into this world that he has really fought the enemy. Dylan's face sank like water at the moment, and his eyes had become a hologram. The demeanor, the angle of the sword, the position of the enemy, everything was imprinted in Dylan's eyes. The butler calculated and listed eleven ways of fighting in an instant.
And after receiving the housekeeper's message, Dylan did not choose to fight head-on, in his thinking, killing the enemy at the least cost and in the most effortless way is the way of a smart man. The Blood Clan is supposed to be an assassin and killer in the night, and hiding in the shadows to hunt prey is the best way to fight.
As soon as he rolled over, Dylan jumped into the shadows of the street, and the enemy chased after him without thinking.
In the darkness of the night, the fog became heavier.
A beast hiding in the dark is about to start hunting.
Thin stabbing swords poked out of the darkness like a poisonous snake and stabbed one of the men in the back. Dylan's sword came so quickly that it ended the enemy's life when he didn't feel pain, and there was no more merciful way to kill.
Hearing the sound of the corpse falling to the ground, the other two reacted, only to see a cloud of scattered mist and a corpse that had fallen to the ground and blood from its throat.
Atomization, this is the talent that Dylan awakened when he entered the baron. An ability that doesn't have any attack abilities and is only available for assassination. However, in the dark, this ability made Dylan a feared Grim Reaper.
With Dylan's current blood energy, he can only remain atomized for about 20 minutes. So, he had to do it quickly. But the two people who had been frightened by his elusive killing methods raised their vigilance to the highest level. The two men stood in place with their backs to back, neither daring to move.
None of them noticed that a scattered cloud of mist was slowly approaching the two of them from the ground. In an instant, Dylan emerged from the mist, and he leaned low and broke their calves with a sword.
The two men who were more than 1.8 meters tall were holding their legs and howling, and the two of them, who had already broken their guts, did not dare to fight back. Dylan slowly got up from the ground, glanced at the two of them, who were no longer motivated, and walked towards the hotel.
The fight in the hotel seems to be much more intense than on Dylan's side, and Maria's ability is to manipulate the wind, and she doesn't use a weapon, but just lifts a series of wind blades with her two hands.
The destructive power of the wind blade is very terrifying, and anyone who dares to directly resist with weapons will be divided into two halves with their weapons. Flesh and shattered weapons flew everywhere, and the inns and streets were also cut by the scattered wind blades.
The man with a scar on his face at the head has a good scimitar in his hand. After a few hard strokes of the wind blade, there was no trace. Leaning on a scimitar, he struck a few blows of the wind blade and charged at Maria.
The moment he approached, Mary disappeared in front of him. Scarface's heart sank, and he hurriedly turned around and slashed back. The hand, which had always been beautiful, was joined by the scimitar, and Maria's five blood-red nails were as unscathed as steel claws.
Just as Scarface was amazed at the toughness of this hand, five fingers of the other hand fell from his head and plunged straight into his head. The hardest bones in the human body could not resist the invasion of this little hand in the slightest. After Maria withdrew her hand, Scarface stepped back with a convulsion.
Her face was red and white, and her eyes were about to burst open with fear and pain, and she was bloodshot all over her eyes, looking straight at Maria, who was looking indifferent.
Poof!
The corpse fell to the ground, and the battle ended.
There is no doubt that this is a battle in which the two sides are not equal in strength at all. The two of them were unscathed, and they solved these killers in leather clothes.
Dylan and Maria looked at each other, their eyes unfazed. This is the look of a predator, no excitement, no excitement. It's just a very ordinary activity, no different from a kitten catching a fish in the water.

4 a.m
In an estate on the western outskirts of Birmingham. Inside a richly decorated room,
Sir Wilson was anxiously walking back and forth, it was a great crime to attack the nobles, especially since the other party was the person favored by the Earl of Fairman. Once discovered, his political life was over.
"The feast ended at about 12 o'clock, and the place where the country nobles lived, was only an hour from the Earl of Fairman's court. If all goes well, Scarface Lake should have returned. Wilson looked up, his muscles twitching, and muttered, "Could it be that country nobleman has some master by his side?" ”
Thinking of the consequences of the revelation, Wales's originally flustered eyes gradually became fierce. He said viciously: "Anyone who dares to rob Isabella from me will all die, and "you" will not be an exception. ”
