“Tssk! ”

Unflinching, Milton Cheney slashed open the throat of the black-clad man before him, fresh blood spraying across the ground.

“That makes twelve.’

“More Death Warriors, the Black Robe Seekers’ Club methods are getting more rudimentary. ”

Milton Cheney put away his Knight Sword, muttering to himself.

At first, the ones who went near the estate were sDeath Warriors of Official Knight Level.

In recent days even the Official Knights were nowhere to be found, all that’s left are Death Warriors at the Quasi-Knight Level.

That these Death Warriors could approach the estate was clearly orchestrated by Earl Arthur. Without him, these cannon fodder wouldn’t be able to get anywhere near the Golden Lion Family’s core area.

“Are they planning to numb us with these Death Warriors? Then attack when our guards are down?”

That was a possibility Milton could think of.

However, Milton felt that the possibility was small, as whatever he could think of, Earl Arthur could naturally think of too.

This kind of tactic was too juvenile. At this point, no one would let their guard down.

Suddenly, a man in black appeared behind Milton Cheney.

Milton, who was aware of the man’s presence, made no reaction. The man in black leaned in and whispered a few words in Milton’s ear.

“Now? Fine, I get it.”

Milton nodded in understanding, then put away his Knight Sword and headed towards the Golden Lion Estate.

He was somewhat taken aback; hadn’t the family conference just been held yesterday?

With only a day between, Earl Arthur had called for another family conference. It must be something significant.

Milton walked swiftly, quickly arriving at the family conference room.

Upon seeing Milton enter, Earl Arthur looked at him and nodded slightly.

Milton also took notice of everyone present in the conference room.

“William and Elm are here too.”

Milton was slightly surprised.

Including him, there were four people. The last conference with all four of them was held over a dozen days ago.

At yesterday’s family conference William was not present, as he was needed to watch over the Underground Palace.

With everyone present this time, it must be a matter of importance.

“Everyone’s here, let’s begin the conference.”

As Milton took his seat, Earl Arthur began the meeting in a soft voice.

“Elm, you speak first.’

The conference started. Earl Arthur looked at Elm and spoke.

Elm, solemn-faced, nodded slightly.

Then he began, “The Black Robe Seekers’ Club’s Wizard Apprentices have started to move.

According to the secret information from the Dark Web, traces of Black Robe Seekers’ Club’s Wizard Apprentices have been found in Four Seasons City, in the south of Far East Territory, and in Konnay City in the north.

These Wizard Apprentices aren’t disguising their traces at all, and their target is directly the Golden Lion Family!”

Elm’s voice was grave, and Milton, seated at the Round Table, was listening with full attention.

Completely undisguised, are they that confident?

Milton was startled. He didn’t doubt Elm’s words. As Elm said this in such an important family conference, the information must be accurate.

Milton was also familiar with the Dark Web, a vast intelligence organization operating in the Far East Territory, and Elm was in charge of this organization.

“Were only these two cities found with the Wizard Apprentices’ traces? How many people in total?”

After Elm finished speaking, Earl Arthur continued asking.

Milton realized that his father probably already knew this. What Earl Arthur asked Elm now, was for his benefit as well as William’s.

“Four Seasons City and Konnay City are confirmed spots where the Black Robe Seekers’ Club’s Wizard Apprentices were discovered. A total of four people.

Elm spoke word by word, Milton and William were listening very seriously.

“Four people? Shall we make the first move and intercept them directly?”bender

William spoke up, a kill intent in his voice.

Hearing William’s words, Earl Arthur shook his head and said,

“Impossible. Their deliberate exposure of their tracks could be a bait to draw us out. There might be an ambush hidden in the darkness.”

Finishing his sentence Earl Arthur looked at Milton Cheney and continued,

“Milton, any common factor between the locations of confirmed and suspected

Wizard Apprentices’ traces?”

“Common factor?”

Milton looked back at Earl Arthur, pondering.

The several places Elm had mentioned emerged rapidly in his mind, then Milton started connecting these places.

However, after sconsideration, he did not find any special common factor. If there was a common point, it could only be…

“They are all far away?”

Milton asked rather uncertainly.

His rationale was simple. Both Southern Four Seasons City and Northern Konnay City were at the very edge of the Far East Territory, very far from the Golden Lion Family’s core area.

As for Easton Plain and Blackstone Tavern, they were beyond comparison. Strictly speaking, these two places weren’t part of the Far East Territory.

Without any doubt, all the four places were very far from the core area of the Far East Territory, the Golden Lion Estate.

Hearing Milton’s words, a hint of praise appeared in Earl Arthur’s eyes.

“That’s right, they are all far away. So why did they choose to expose their positions in cities so far from the Golden Lion Estate?”

Earl Arthur asked Milton again.

Milton knew it was his father’s deliberate guidance, so he pondered a bit.

The people from the Black Robe Seekers’ Club could entirely hide their traces, but instead chose to expose them. Moreover, they did it in the two farthest cities from the Golden Lion Estate.

To say it was due to their arrogance, disregarding the Golden Lion Family entirely and not caring about their exposure, Milton wouldn’t believe it.

So, what could the reason be?

Suddenly, an idea cto Milton.

“Could it be a feint? The Wizard Apprentices in Four Seasons City and Konnay City deliberately exposed their tracks.

At the stime, there could be Wizard Apprentices who have hidden their tracks, and these Wizard Apprentices, maybe…”

At this point, Milton paused, and then continued, “Maybe they’re already nearing the estate..”

Milton didn’t know whether his guess was correct. He just thought of it on a whim, and thus he voiced it without hesitation. “A feint? That’s a fitting description.” Earl Arthur responded surprisingly.

“Pretty much, my thoughts are similar to Milton’s.

The Wizard Apprentices who voluntarily exposed their own traces in Four

Seasons City and Konnay City might just be attempting to let our guard down.

Since they can willingly expose their tracks, they can also naturally hide them. As I know, there are far more than just four or five Wizard Apprentices in the Black Robe Seekers’ Club.

An attack from the Black Robe Seekers’ Club might occur within the next few days. Milton is right, the Black Robe Seekers’ Club’s Wizard Apprentices might already be close.”

Earl Arthur scanned the room and spoke. His voice might have been soft, but everyone heard it clearly.

“As expected.”

Milton’s guess was correct. His thoughts overlapped with Earl Arthur’s..
