Oliver Castle, Viscount Oliver's study.

"The Jason family was destroyed, suspected to be the work of the Shadow Serpent......"

After getting this news from the territory, in the study, Viscount Oliver and his eldest son Kepel both looked strange.

They are the only ones in the entire marquis who know the Shadow Serpent's whereabouts best, after all, the Shadow Serpent is now being settled by them in a secret residence in the realm.

And with their current relationship with the Shadow Serpent, the Shadow Serpent naturally wouldn't attack the nobles in their territory, but what's going on now? There are actually families in the territory who are suspected of being destroyed by the Shadow Serpent.

"Father, this must be the name of the Shadow Serpent in the name of another family to take revenge on our Oliver family."

Keppel said with a cold face.

"I know."

Viscount Oliver nodded, he could naturally think of this, and he could probably think of which families did it.

Over the years, he has repeatedly asked Hank Jason to assassinate the children of other viscount families, and it must be people from several other viscount families who will target him, but they don't know which viscount family did it.

"Father, will the family that attacked this time know about the Shadow Serpent from Hank Jason's mouth?"

Keppel worried.

"Probably not, I didn't let him contact the placement of the Shadow Serpent, he shouldn't know."

Viscount Oliver shook his head.

"But the last time the Shadow Serpent stayed in the castle, he came to the castle once, Keppel, wait a moment for you to inform the Shadow Serpent and tell them to be careful."

"Yes, father."

Keppel nodded, then worriedly.

"Father, now that we are so deeply involved with the Shadow Serpent, if the Shadow Serpent is captured, we will most likely be involved."

"There's no turning back."

Viscount Oliver shook his head and smiled wryly.

More than two months ago, he was placed in the Fergus family, and when he learned the news of the beast control drug, he immediately got up in his heart and used the beast control drug as bait to lead the Shadow Serpent to destroy the Fergus family.

Who knows, the movement of the Shadow Serpent is greater than imagined, and it directly takes this opportunity to launch a revenge against the Marquis of Sidney.

not only attacked the Fergus family, but also attacked many noble families in the marquisate, and even destroyed the Viscount Shelly family, which provoked the anger of the Marquis of Sidney, and surrounded the Shadow Serpent throughout the territory.

One can imagine what would have happened to the Oliver family if the Marquis of Sidney had known that the Serpent of Shadows had been brought in by the Oliver family.

"But maybe it's also an opportunity for us."

Viscount Oliver said as if he were comforting Keppel, and as if he were comforting himself.

"Chance, what chance?"

Kepel wondered, this is obviously a disaster that will lead to the extinction of the clan if you don't pay attention to it, how can there be a chance?

"A chance to go further!"

Viscount Oliver said mysteriously.

"How could it be, with the current situation of our Oliver family, even if it is not affected by the Shadow Serpent, it will not be able to compete with several other viscount families at all."

Keppel became more and more confused.

"It's really unlikely, but what if you get a lot of resources?"

The expression on Viscount Oliver's face became more and more mysterious.

"A lot of resources? How is it possible that the Sidneys will give us so many resources? ”

If it weren't for his father's normal speech now, Keppel would have almost thought his father was crazy.

"Naturally, it is impossible for the Sidneys, but other forces can."

Viscount Oliver's eyes flashed.

"Other forces? Father, you wouldn't mean the Shadow Serpent, would you? ”

Keppel wondered.

"Of course not, although the Shadow Serpent has the financial resources, it has no reason to do so."

Viscount Oliver shook his head.

"I'm talking about the forces behind the Shadow Serpent."

"Is there a force behind the Shadow Serpent?"

Hearing this exciting news, Keppel's face was full of shock.

"Of course, the Serpent of Shadow attacked the Marquis of Sidney, revenge is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also driven by interests, and it is this force behind them that drives them."

Viscount Fergus said.

"And this force also has a grudge against the Sidney family, and through the Shadow Serpent, I have been connected to this force."

"This force has promised that after this time, it will provide us with a lot of resources, and we will become a hidden nail buried in their Marquis of Sidney."

Viscount Fergus's study.

"The Serpent of Shadows lurks in Viscounty Oliver?"

Hearing Gray and Edge's report, Viscount Fergus tapped his fingers on the long table, frowning slightly, thinking about the credibility of the news.

Beside him, Bernal, who heard the news, also frowned, and spoke after a while.

"Father, it's impossible for the Oliver family not to know the consequences of being involved with the Shadow Serpent, could this be Hank Jason who wants to save his life and make it up?"

"It's possible."

Viscount Fergus nodded.

"But there's another possibility."

Speaking of this, the corners of Viscount Fergus's mouth sneered slightly.

"The Oliver family has something in the hands of the Shadow Serpent, forcing him to provide shelter to the Shadow Serpent."

"Handle?"

Gray's eyes lit up, if the Oliver family really had any tricks in the hands of the Shadow Serpent, then everything made sense.

Even if they risk being discovered by the Sidneys and destroyed by the Sidneys, they must provide a hiding place for the Shadow Serpent, because if the Shadow Serpent is captured by the Sidneys, the Sidneys are likely to learn of the "handle" and they will also be destroyed by the Sidneys.

"Father, what are we going to do next?"

Bernal's eyes also lit up, and he asked with a happy face.

The Oliver family is a rival of the Fergus family, and has also assassinated the children of the Fergus family, if there is a chance to bring down the Oliver family, the Fergus family is naturally not to be missed.

Moreover, if effective information can be provided in the matter of encircling and suppressing the Shadow Serpent, the Fergus family will inevitably be rewarded with resources from the Sidney family in the future.

"Let's bury ourselves in the Viscounty of Oliver and investigate secretly to confirm if the Serpent of Shadows is in the Viscounty of Oliver."

Viscount Fergus said.

"But before that, let's meet Hank Jason and confirm the truth."

The dark underground prison has a thick wall completely watered with molten iron, and the walls are covered with various metal shackles, and two people are being handcuffed to the molten iron wall like specimens.

One of them was a young man with blood stained in several parts of his clothes.

The other man was a middle-aged man, who looked even worse than the young man, his clothes were bright red as if they were stained with blood, and his two arms, his right arm was broken at the shoulder level, and his left arm was also broken at the wrist level.

Da-da-da-da!

The footsteps approached, and the two raised their heads, revealing bloodshot eyes, and when they saw Viscount Fergus walking in front, Garth glared at Viscount Fergus fiercely, while Hank Jason was weak.

Fergus ...... Viscount, good ...... Means. ”

There was hoarseness in his voice, he was interrogated by torture all night last night, and now he is exhausted, and it is difficult for him to even speak.

"You should have thought of this outcome when you assassinated my Fergus family."

Viscount Fergus said coldly.

"Give us ...... A pleasure. ”

Hankgas didn't argue, but said.

At this point, he no longer expected the Fergus family to let them go, but only hoped to suffer less.

"Yes, but you'll have to tell us if the news is true or not."

Viscount Fergus said in a cold voice.

A high-ranking blood warrior, even if he loses both arms, is very dangerous to be imprisoned for a long time, so killing him as soon as possible is also in line with his plan.

"Don't think about getting away with it for liberation, I won't kill your son for the time being, and after I confirm the truth of the news, I will decide to kill him directly, or kill him after torture."

"The message is...... Really, okay, can you give it to me...... A good one, right? ”

Hank Jason said hoarsely.

"Gray."

Viscount Fergus nodded, looking at Gray.

"Yes."

Gray answered, drew his sword from his waist, and walked towards Hank Jason.

"It's you...... The man last night ...... It's you! ”

Hearing Gray's voice and seeing the sword in Gray's hand, Hank Jason immediately judged that the person who cut off his arms and captured him last night was Gray.

Originally, he thought that the man was Bernard, but now it seems that it is the younger Gray.

He stared at Gray with a pair of eyes, shock and regret in his eyes.

Shocked that Gray was already a high-ranking blood warrior at such a young age, regretting that he couldn't kill Gray in the first place, or regretting participating in that assassination......

Burst!

With a soft thud, the tip of the long sword stabbed through his left chest, piercing his heart.

The look in his eyes slowly darkened, and after a few twists of his immobilized body, he softened weakly.

Gray, on the other hand, let out a breath of evil in his heart.

Because of the assassination that the other party might come at any time, he didn't even visit Fergus City, which was a few hundred meters away from Fergus Castle, and he had accumulated a bad breath in his heart, and now this evil breath has finally subsided a lot.

Of course, this is not the end, and the culprits are still the Oliver family.

This time, if the Oliver family is really involved with the Shadow Serpent, it will inevitably anger the Sidneys, and it will be a perfect opportunity for him to take revenge.
