Chapter 112: Undercurrent Surging (Part II)
Hearing Kevin's words, the young man with a pointed hat was stunned for a moment, and then said with some hesitation: "In this way... It's not right... After all, Lord Earl had confessed that when the peak duel was over, he would kill that kid directly. Wouldn't the young master do this..."
"Amus. The young man in the pointed hat had not finished his sentence when he was interrupted by Kevin.
The young man was stunned for a moment, and then saw Kevin's slightly frowning brows, but he quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to say more.
Seeing this, Kevin snorted coldly, and continued: "I will not ignore my father's orders. But wouldn't it be a good thing if the boy saw the form, changed his mind, and was willing to submit and sign the contract?
As long as the contract is signed, no matter how rebellious that kid is, it is also a grasshopper in the palm of his hand, and it can be destroyed. At that time, I will have another master in the Aydra family, and I will be a young man with unlimited potential, and even my father will change his mind, and not only will he not blame me, but he will be rewarded heavily. β
In the end, Kevin was already smiling, as if he had seen the scene when Butian was desperate and obediently took refuge in signing the contract.
Seeing this, the young man named Amus wearing a pointed hat hurriedly seized the opportunity, flattered his tone, and said with a flattering face: "What the young master said is extremely true, but his subordinates are too rigid and ignorant. Listening to the young master say this, this matter is really promising, the young master is far-sighted, and his subordinates can't reach it. β
Hearing this flattering slap, Kevin's face showed a hint of self-satisfaction, and then he shook his head and said, "It's too early to say whether this matter will succeed or not." If it doesn't work, you can't say it, you have to do what your father told you to do, and kill the kid directly. If it becomes... Hmph..."
Kevin sneered twice, and then changed the conversation and said: "This is also the reason why I am not in a hurry to see that kid, think about it, that kid came to the imperial capital alone, except for us, no force will take care of him."
And forced by his father's previous agreement with him, that kid will definitely not go to other forces. Otherwise, I'm afraid that before he even stepped foot in someone else's door, Hawke would kill him directly.
In this way, you can fight alone. Faced with the threat of the Star and Moon Alliance and the Miso family's entrenched power in the imperial capital, and under the repeated assassinations, I don't believe that he will not take the initiative to come to me.
As long as he comes to me, he will be the one who asks for help. If you want to save your life under the encirclement and suppression of the Star-Moon Alliance and the Miso family, it depends on whether he is interested and willing to sign the deed of sale. A smug smile appeared on Kevin's face, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, as if he felt that the idea he had come up with was too poisonous, and it was simply seamless under the interlocking links.
"Ahh High, high! The young master is really smart. At first, Amus listened to Kevin's remarks, but after hearing it, he felt more and more that something was wrong, but he really couldn't remember what was wrong for a while. Seeing that Kevin looked at himself after speaking, he didn't care about it at the moment, and hurriedly patted his ass.
Listening to Amus's sycophancy, Kevin unconsciously touched his chin, and his face showed a look of self-satisfaction.
He is the heir of the Edra family, the son of a count, and now he is even more prosperous in the imperial capital, and has been given the title of viscount by His Majesty Habia, and has been favored by a royal princess.
Backed by a strong family force, it is also extremely good in its own right, and it is supported by his grandfather, the big man in the mercenary union. With so many auras, Kevin can be said to be the pride of the sky, if it weren't for his own strength not outstanding, I'm afraid that even Gaia of the Arthurian royal family would be much inferior to him in some aspects.
The respect of his status and the flattery of the people around him have also created his arrogant and conceited character. I always feel that I have amazing talents, similar to dancing knives and guns, and I disdain it, thinking that with my own resourcefulness, I can play those who are developed in force and simple-minded.
It can be said that Kevin is the kind of model of self-righteousness.
Now that his bullshit and self-feeling remarks have been pursued by Amus for a while, his self-confidence has skyrocketed, and he feels that with his strategy, he should be considered a last resort. What his father found intractable, in his opinion, was nothing more than that.
Just as Kevin fell into self-absorption and couldn't extricate himself, the door of the room suddenly opened, and the six imposing guards guarding the door were all stunned, but the one-eyed man wearing a black blindfold standing behind Kevin was the fastest to react, and pulled out the long sword at his waist with a thud, and suddenly stabbed out dozens of sword lights in a tenth of a breath.
These dozens of sword lights continued one after another, surging with black brilliance, as if a black veil was covering the doorway.
This place is located in the remote area of the western part of the imperial capital, and it is deserted on weekdays, and Kevin and others use it as a stronghold, often sending many masters to defend many corners of the courtyard. If you want to meet Kevin, whoever it is, you must inform it in advance, otherwise you will be punished with death.
The enemies of the Edra family do not know how to go, and Kevin, as the next generation of the Edra family, must of course take care of his own safety, otherwise he will be killed by the hostile forces of the family long ago.
Say it's too late, then it's too fast.
At the moment when the sword light shone, a figure suddenly appeared at the door of the room.
Before he could see the figure's face, he saw the figure swing out with one hand, and there seemed to be a cold light in his hand, which suddenly collided with the black sword that shrouded away.
The stirrups stirrups made a series of crisp sounds, and because they were too fast, if they didn't listen carefully, they seemed to turn into a concussive roar.
The short blade is handed over, and the fire is flashing.
The one-eyed man wearing a black blindfold was shocked when the sword in his hand bombarded the other party.
However, before he could react further, a surging force suddenly transmitted from his hand to his body, the sword in his hand was bounced away as if he had been electrocuted, and his footsteps staggered and he took a few steps back, but he still couldn't withstand the force of the rebound, and his body took off and hit Kevin, who had not yet figured out the situation.
Kevin screamed, and the two of them were knocked out with the table, but Amus reacted quickly and fell to the ground and escaped.
"Who is it... Dare to assassinate Master Kevin. β
"Up, what are you talking about, hurry up..."
The sudden scene made the six guards outside the door also react at this moment, and they all looked angry and rushed to the room. Even the several masters who stayed on the roof and outside the courtyard were also shocked, and hurriedly unfolded their bodies and were about to rush.
It was at this moment that the figure of the man who stepped into the room appeared.
A thick shadow enveloped the whole body, like smoke and mist, and the whole person did not have the slightest fluctuation of anger, as if he was dead. I can't see its appearance clearly, I can't see through its strength, I only feel horror, I only feel mysterious.
This person, Huo Ran is the hand of shadows - Hawke.
"The immortal god is his whole family! I ...... Hawk?... Stop me!" Kevin, who was lying on the ground, was about to scold, but when he raised his head and saw the figure at the door, his face changed suddenly. The six guards outside the door had already rushed into the room, the weapons in their hands flickering, and they all blasted towards Hawke, and they couldn't help but quickly change their words and shout to stop.
Standing in the center of the many attacks in the middle of the range, Hawk remained motionless, seemingly unconcerned about the many fierce attacks that were about to strike. And the six guards who had already launched the offensive suddenly heard Kevin shout to stop, and they all stopped attacking, and without much hesitation, they forcibly changed the trajectory of the attack in their hands.
With a bang, the six people temporarily changed direction of the attack, and made a move against each other, canceling out their respective attacks, and their bodies froze, and they turned their eyes to Kevin, with a puzzled look in their eyes.
The six of them were the subordinates that Kevin recruited after he came to the imperial capital, and they didn't know Hawke. And this is the first time that Hawke has come to the imperial capital, and almost none of the people who follow Kevin know Hawke, even the more cronies of Amus, who has only heard Kevin mention it, but he has not really seen it.
Regarding Hawke's arrival, Kevin said that he had already received a notice from his father, but Kevin did not know when Hawke would come to him, but he was just ready to greet him.
In fact, with Kevin's status in the Aydra family, in addition to Earl Warren and the eldest lady, he has the most right to speak. It's a pity that Hawke, for some unknown reason, only obeys the orders of Earl Warren, and the others, no matter whose orders they are, will not obey.
Therefore, Kevin is also quite helpless about Hawke, if this Hawke's strength is slightly worse, he will not pay attention to it. But Hawke is extremely strong, and he is his father's right-hand man, and Kevin is not good at putting a young master in front of him. And in this Hawke, Kevin has a lot of psychological shadows.
When he was in his twenties, his father, Earl Warren, handed him over to Hawke and forced him to learn martial arts. With Hawke's unkind Cheng dΓΉ, coupled with his stubbornness that he is reluctant to practice martial arts, there are contradictions between the two sides.
In the end, it was naturally Hawke's master, no matter how Kevin resisted, it was useless, and the cold-faced and ruthless Hawke only obeyed orders. A hellish training, in less than seven days, Kevin was trained from an ordinary person with no force at all to a low-level 1st level martial artist.
If he continues to train like this, with Hawke's high skills, Kevin will definitely have a promising martial arts career, and his strength will not be much worse than that of ordinary young junjie.
Unfortunately, the mud couldn't hold up the wall, and after Kevin's hellish training, he almost lost several layers of skin, and ran to his mother, the Countess, in search of life and death, but refused to train any more.
The loving mother has many defeated children, and the eldest lady of the earl is also soft-eared, and she can't withstand her son's plea, and seeing that Kevin has indeed suffered a lot, she dissuades Count Warren from forcing it any further.
After this incident, Kevin completely hated martial arts, and he had no talent for magic, so naturally he couldn't even learn magic. But because of Hawke's hellish training at that time, he also had a psychological shadow on the cold-blooded and ruthless Hawke, and he was quite afraid to meet on weekdays.
