As a general in the city defense army, Hank's strength has naturally reached the silver level, and it is the fifth silver order, which is equivalent to Reynolds's strength, and he thinks that even if he can't defeat the other party, he can't stop the other party if he wants to escape.

"You can't stop me. ”

Hank was not surprised to hear that the other party was going to kill him, but the officials around the hall raised their hearts to their throats at this moment and looked nervously at the scene in front of them.

Balk sat firmly in the first seat, watching the duel between the two with great interest.

As a last resort, Hank gripped his sword in both hands, ready to fight Reynolds for a few rounds before looking for an opportunity to break out of the Duke's Palace.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that he had no chance of leaving alive at all.

Hank took the lead, and the sword qi quickly approached, and the battle between the silver middle ranks was powerful enough to shatter the wall and crack the stone. It's just that Reynolds faced this sword, and he actually gave way with a light flash, and at the same time, his left hand clenched into a fist and slammed out, hitting Hank in the abdomen.

Hank felt his internal organs shift and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

It's just that there is no time left for him, and a cold light has quickly cut down.

There was a thud, and the head rolled to the ground.

Only then did the headless male corpse stagger to the ground, a large pool of blood flowing out.

Reynolds wiped the blood from his face with the back of his hand, and his gaze swept to the powerful people present, and those touched by his gaze couldn't help but tremble all over, as if they were being targeted by a bloodthirsty demon.

At this time, Marquis Terrance was the first to react.

"Congratulations to Young Master Reynolds for being promoted to the Silver Sixth Order. ”

People finally found out that Reynolds broke through again during this time.

When Reynolds was still in the fifth order of silver, Hank was not his opponent, and now that the former has been promoted to the sixth order, it is reasonable to easily kill Hank.

Soon, the body was carried away by his subordinates, but the blood stains left on the ground had not been disposed of, and the smell of blood in the hall did not dissipate for a long time, like a spell, always reminding everyone of what had just happened, it seems that the people of the Victor family are really going to make a move, and I am afraid that many people will die.

Duke Balk slowly got up, turned his hands behind his back and looked at the crowd.

"Since everyone agrees with my decision, please don't forget that we are allies, and if I find out who is wrong, I will never show mercy. ”

When the words fell, everyone should be.

Although the Duke never made a move, they knew that Balk was powerful, so they were respectful, and even those who were disgruntled did not dare to bring it up, after all, it was just a living example.

Everyone understands how to kill chickens and monkeys, but the effect is still obvious.

"Okay, please come to my house tonight, and we will discuss important matters together. ”

The people gathered in the Duke's Mansion dispersed like a tide at this moment, almost no communication with each other, and the image of Hank's tragic death was still replayed in their minds, if Balk really held real power, would it really be a good thing for them?

"Father, we killed Hank, then Horace ......"

The coldness in Reynolds' eyes dissipated, and he turned to Duke Balk.

If there is anyone else who will be Balke's opponent, then there is only one candidate, and that is the 'number one master of the royal city' - Horace.

Hank is Horace's subordinate, not to mention that Reynolds killed Hank in front of everyone, this news will definitely reach Horace's ears, and it is very likely to set up a strong enemy for the Victor family.

The fifth-order Golden Knight is by no means so easy to deal with.

"Hmph, how is Horace, not alone?"

Duke Balk snorted lightly, "As long as we don't provoke the Mercenary Guild now, there is no one who can threaten us, and if Horace really dares to come to the door, I will entertain him personally." ”

Reynolds understood the meaning of the word "hospitality" in his father's words, and he couldn't help but feel more sure that even if Horace really came to the door, what would happen to him, what was waiting for him was a dead end.

But before he knew it, Reynolds thought of another person.

The young man who defeated Demps and defeated Isidore, especially the impression that the other party left on him in the secret realm, was already a nightmare for Reynolds for several days, that guy was ridiculously strong, he thought he would die in the secret realm, but he appeared in the royal city again, which made Reynolds have to investigate.

"Any news of that kid?"

Duke Balk turned his back to a few people and suddenly answered the question.

Reynolds's heart jumped, and then he replied: "He entered the Mercenary Guild early the morning before yesterday and has not come out again, and it is said that he borrowed the Guild's cultivation room. ”

"The cultivation room, that's Marcus's private training room, right?" Balcrow thought for a moment, "If I'm not mistaken, there's only one in the entire Norton Kingdom. ”

"Yes. ”

Reynolds didn't continue to interject because he knew that his father was thinking, maybe no one had taken that kid seriously before, but since his performance in public meetings, it was hard not to put him on the danger list.

Of course, the bigger reason is the relationship between Pierce and the Mercenary Guild.

Mercenary guilds are set up in various countries and regions, so the mercenary guild is a huge force, not a single individual, so Duke Balk did not consider involving the mercenary guild before he took control of the situation.

Even if Duke Balk is not afraid of Horace, he will have concerns about the Mercenary Guild.

"Send more men to keep an eye on the Mercenary Guild. ”

Duke Balk waved his hand, but still gave up the situation related to the Mercenary Guild.

Reynolds responded, but for some reason panicked, and when he left the hall to see Steele, who was molesting the young maid in the house, the maid was struggling in Steele's arms, but could not escape the other party's control.

Reynolds was furious when he saw it, and without saying a word, he stepped forward and slapped Steele in the head.

"Brother, what are you doing!?"

was slapped for no reason, Steele was very aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say anything, although Reynolds was only his cousin, he was already the young master of the Victor family, and there was no comparison between the status of the two.

"I'm idle all day long, and only when I'm dying do I know how to think about something!"

Reynolds snorted and walked away without further words.

Steele's face was full of inexplicability, and the maid in his arms had already taken the opportunity to run away, and he couldn't help but ponder what Reynolds had just said, but he couldn't think of a reason.

"Forget it, let's go out and have some fun. ”

Steele is a little resentful in his heart, so he likes to go out to drink and be happy, and it would be more comfortable if he found a few female companions.

"You have to come back early tonight, or you'll be punished again." ”

Steele whistled and walked out of the Duke's Palace, where several guards immediately nodded and greeted him, but he waved his hand casually to block them.

......

At the same time, the long-closed door of the cultivation room finally opened.

A young man stepped out of the room, took a deep breath of fresh air, and immediately felt refreshed, but soon felt empty and hungry.

"It seems that I still can't get rid of three meals a day. ”
