Chapter 009: Aftermath

"Why didn't your guards follow today? I'm afraid it's because you've captured the saint and you're afraid of being known? If your guards follow, I'm afraid it won't be so easy for me to clean you up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Kaplan took the dagger and walked towards Stonenier again.

Stonier's face was filled with horror. He said in a panic: "The disappearance of the Holy Maiden is really none of my business! I am with you at noon today, how can I have so much time to do it?"

"I remember, the people of the Cult of Light only announced that the Holy Maiden was missing, and did not say exactly when she disappeared, right? How do you know? Actually, it's useless if you don't admit it, I've already found the Holy Maiden, isn't it in the basement?" Kaplan grabbed the collar and lifted the upper half of Stoniel's body, and said with a sneer.

Knowing that he no longer had the possibility of perfunctory past, Stonier immediately lost his usual arrogant image and began to beg for mercy: "Fourth brother, I am just confused for a while and have done something wrong! For the sake of our brotherhood, you must help me!"

"Help you? Do you know how powerful the Cult of Light is? Do you want the whole family to bury you?" Kaplan put a dagger to Stonier's heart, and he still didn't say a word: if there was still brotherhood, how could you blame me after the incident?

Sensing that Kaplan really had the intention of killing him, Stoniel suddenly became anxious and shouted, "I am your eldest brother, you can't kill me! My father is not in Maple Leaf City, how can you kill me without my father's permission? and...... And I can't leak out the matter of my kidnapping of the Holy Maiden, there is not enough reason, how can you explain to the people in the family if you kill me?"

"Do I need to explain anything to your family? As for the way to win my father's trust, I'm ready, you see what it is?I know you want to stall for time, but why do you think I'm talking so much to you?" Kaplan said, gesturing to the side.

The effect of the Blue Moon Grass is not long, and since Kaplan has already decided to do it, he will naturally not give the other party any chance!

Stoniel's eyesight had mostly recovered, and he turned his head to realize that the guard Kaplan had brought was holding an engram in his hand! - It was another item that Kaplan had taken out of the vault, which could record sounds and images for a period of time. This is a very precious thing, and it is often priceless.

Kaplan will never show mercy to Stoniel's men, and let things twist again: what if they are killed, and their father relents?

In order to prevent someone from stopping him this time, Kaplan specially ran out of the manor.

However, the impact of killing his eldest brother is still very serious, and although he knows that his father loves him the most, Kaplan thinks it is better to give his father a sufficient evidence.

"You actually dare to kidnap the Holy Maiden? It's crazy! Although our Deduwa family is the most prosperous family in the Lanya Kingdom, the Kelanya Kingdom is only a small country on the Holy Light Continent! The strength of the entire Lanya Kingdom is not comparable to the Light God Sect! You are simply going to kill everyone in the family by doing this! Since you have done such a thing, I will not say anything if I kill my father, who made you do something wrong?" Kaplan shouted a few times, and after holding the short sword against Stoniel's chest again, he asked again, " I just can't figure it out, why do you want to attack the Holy Maiden? If you really want a woman, why is it difficult to find a woman?"

After feeling the tingling in his chest, Stonier knew that he had no way to live, and instead of answering Kaplan's question, he yelled: "I don't accept it! Father has always protected you! I am the eldest son, I have followed the rules since I was a child, and I strive to meet my father's strict requirements, and I am the best in all aspects! And you are merry everywhere, and you are a notoriously gentleman! Why did your father choose you as his heir! You are just an illegitimate child! I don't accept ......"

I really didn't expect it.

Isn't it okay for others to get what you can't get? To be honest, Kaplan doesn't understand why his father chose him as his heir. He himself knew that the original Kaplan really didn't have any good performance before.

Maybe it was his father's eyes that saw the selfish and vicious nature of Stoniel?

Kaplan no longer had the idea of continuing to communicate with the madman in front of him, and without the slightest hesitation in his heart, he stabbed the dagger into Stoner's chest! When Stoneil stopped breathing, Kaplan subconsciously touched the artery in Stoner's neck with his hand. -- This was a habit he developed when he was on the run.

Kaplan breathed a sigh of relief, but a sense of loss and uncertainty about the future rose in his heart.

Before he was reborn, he had been trying to find out who was behind the framing of the Deduwa family, and after discovering his ability to "read files", his biggest goal was to kill Stoniel. Now that the goal is finally played, what should I do next?

"Master, what should we do now?" asked Eric as he walked over to Kaplan's side with the engram that had stopped. He hadn't fully reacted to what had just happened: Kaplan made a sudden move, learned that the saint was being held hostage by Stoner, and Kaplan didn't hesitate to kill his eldest brother!

If it weren't for the fact that the magic crystal didn't have to bother to control it after it was opened, Eric might have missed a big deal.

Eric will do everything he can to please Kaplan, naturally, in order to live a better life and gain a higher status. He is not very capable in the protection of the Deduwa family, how can he have a chance to get ahead if he does not do this.

As for choosing to curry favor with Kaplan, it wasn't that he thought Kaplan had much potential, but he didn't have a choice: he wasn't assigned to Kaplan's personal bodyguard.

Kaplan may not be the ideal allegiance, but at least he is loved by the head of the family, and Eric has a lot of benefits by his side.

He was also very surprised by the mutation just now: but he was surprised that Kaplan was determined to kill the killer, and he did not object to Kaplan's killing of the traitor in the family. - In Eric's eyes, Stonier is a traitor to the family.

He was not so naΓ―ve, and would think that after killing the blasphemous Stonier, the Church of Light would not be angry with the Deduwa family. What is it that Stonier of the Scourge family is not a traitor?

Although the Deduwa family is the first family of the Karan Kingdom, the Karan Kingdom is only a small and emerging country on the Dawn Continent. Compared to the real old aristocrats, they are nothing. It will not be taken into account by the Bright God Sect, whose power is almost all over the continent.

There is still a trace of excitement in Eric's heart about Kaplan killing Stoniel: Stoniel died by himself, and after he died, the possibility of Kaplan becoming the head of the family is higher, right?

Kaplan wiped the dagger clean with Stonier's clothes and put it back in its scabbard in his arms. He said to Eric: "You dig a pit in the woods by the side of the road and bury the body. ”

Eric asked in surprise: "Young master, are you going to hide this matter?" The eldest young master is innocent this time, presumably the master will not blame you." ”

"It's not my fault. Kaplan explained, "If you let others know that the fourth young master of the Deduwa family suddenly killed the eldest young master, will you be curious about the reason for the killing? I'll tell my dad when he comes back. ”

He didn't plan to tell anyone other than his father about Stonier, not even the second uncle who was temporarily in charge of the family affairs. After all, the more people who know, the easier it is to leak.

Eric didn't say anything more, dragged the body directly into the woods, and then planned to start digging a pit with a long sword.

"Wait a minute. Kaplan stopped Eric, and suddenly realized that it was not appropriate to bury it like that.

It's too unsafe to bury the body here.

His father wouldn't be back until five days later, and after discovering that Stoner was missing, the second uncle would definitely send someone to look for him during this time. Kaplan couldn't guarantee that his killing of Stonier would not be found out. - He didn't mind being misunderstood for a few days, but he was worried that after the matter became bigger, it would attract the attention of the Illuminati Cult.

After thinking for a moment, Kaplan thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, and ordered again: "Eric, you dispose of the blood stains on the corpse. Then put it in a sack and put it back. ”

Eric was taken aback and persuaded, "Young Master, are you going to bring the corpse back?" Putting it back in a sack will raise suspicions. ”

Kaplan smiled and said, "It's not the first time you've helped me pack 'things' back, how can anyone be suspicious?"

In the past, Kaplan was indeed a standard scourge! He did not fail to rob the people's daughters. As far as he can remember, Eric had "invited" Kaplan's favorite civilian girls several times, and those girls were in sacks at the time. -- There are many people who know about this, and if you bring back a sack today, no one will really suspect anything.

On the Holy Light Continent, the nobles never put the lives of commoners in their eyes. Gleason, the head of the family, only said that he was messing around, so that he would not lose the face of the nobles after being discovered, and he would not have the idea of upholding justice for the commoners at all.

When Kaplan first crossed over, he felt very uncomfortable with what his predecessor had done. But in this world, the values of all nobles are like this, and he is powerless to change them at all. All you can do is stop doing these things yourself.

He didn't expect that the bad deeds of his predecessor would also come in handy: who knew who was in the sack? With his father's doting, no one else would be interested in Kaplan.

In addition, it is impossible for Karina to hide for too long when she suddenly appears in his bedroom, and it is impossible for her to hide all the time. This time it was just the right time to solve the problem of her identity. -- Naturally, those subordinates were not qualified to see the Holy Maiden, and they would not associate the people who had been robbed by Kaplan with the Holy Maiden.
