"You're colluding with the orcs, aiding the enemy and betraying your clan! You're using my father's life and the blood of the soldiers on the front lines to fill your filthy pockets! Is this the Karl royal family's 'grand plan', Your Highness the Third Princess?"

"Hiss——" The sounds of gasping for air came one after another.

The look in the eyes of all the nobles as they looked towards Irina's box completely changed.

Greed, shock, fear, contempt... like countless sharp blades.

The Kingdom of Karl has been fighting against the orcs for many years. Apart from the instructions of the Church of Holy Light, is it possible that the Karl royal family is deliberately delaying the war?

"Nonsense! It's all fake! Shadow Guard! Kill her!!"

Irina looked like a madman, and her sharp voice completely tore apart the dignity of the nobility.

The remaining shadow guards rushed towards the booth frantically.

boom!

The heavy gilded door of the auction house was completely knocked open!

The thorny griffin emblem of the Karl royal family shone brightly in the torchlight.

A team of fully armed and powerful royal guards rushed in like a torrent of steel. The leading knight's eyes were like lightning, and they instantly locked onto Monica, who was holding the evidence next to the booth, and Irina, who was pale in the box on the second floor.

The long spear flashing with cold light blocked all escape routes.

The air froze to freezing point.

The royal guards! They are the king's personal guards!

How did they get here so fast?!

Panic broke out again like a plague among the crowd whose chaos had subsided for a while.

These noble lords and ladies, who usually act high and mighty, only now truly feel the cold fear.

They seemed to be caught in a huge vortex that was enough to crush them into pieces!

About what happened here.

King Karl had indeed seen through it long ago.

When the first strange noise was heard from the west side hall of the auction house, and when the gray-robed wizard sent a brief message of "the situation has changed" in fear through the secret communication array, the king in the deep palace had already stood up from the throne.

There was no trace of surprise in his cloudy yet sharp eyes, only cold understanding and undisguised murderous intent.

"I knew Irina's dishonest actions would leave trouble. That evil creature will never rest in peace... The shame of the Bellucci family must be completely eradicated." The king's voice was low and dangerous. "Order the Royal Guards to immediately surround the 'Foul Cellar'!

"Don't let anyone at this scene go! Especially that red-haired woman... Find her, or her body! All the words that shouldn't be said will be rotten tonight!"

The order was instantly transmitted through the emergency communication array in the royal capital.

Therefore, when Monica just revealed her last trump card - "Karl's Royal Secret Order", the iron hoofs of the Royal Guards had already crushed the threshold of the auction house.

They have only one mission.

seal!

Use absolute force and royal power to nip this scandal, which could shake the foundation of the royal family, in the bud!

A cold murderous intent instantly enveloped the entire place, more suffocating than the previous chaos.

Long spears were like a forest, pointing at every figure that tried to move.

Just as this deathly silent terror descended, everyone was so overwhelmed by the pressure of the royal guards that they could hardly breathe. Just as the shadow guards were about to pounce on Monica,

"Fuck! They're going to kill us all!!"

A rough, panicked roar with a thick southern businessman accent suddenly exploded from the side of the hall!

It’s Mark who is mixed in the crowd!

He perfectly played the role of a frightened small businessman. His voice became sharp and inflected with fear, but it accurately pierced the oppressive silence:

"See?! We have irrefutable evidence and we must kill! The royal family and the Bellucci family are colluding with the orcs! If you kill us, no one will know! Run! Spread the word!"

"Spread the news!" These four words were like sparks thrown into boiling oil!

boom--!

The brief silence was completely ignited!

The panic gate that was secretly pried open by Mark's soul power suddenly burst open!

Noble dignity and royal majesty are nothing in the face of threats to one's own life and the survival of one's family!

"Get out!"

"Help!!"

“Get out of the way!!”

The crowd was in complete chaos, like a group of trapped beasts doused in hot oil, desperately pushing, trampling, screaming and rushing towards all possible exits!

Some people even tried to break through the seemingly tight line of the royal guards!

Now this is chaos!

But it is more thorough, crazier and more desperate than the chaos Enzo created before!

This was Mark using his ability as a soul harmonizer to arouse the nobles' desire to survive in the face of fear.

"Silence! Back off!" The Knight Commander's stern shout was drowned out by the noisy crowd.

Although the guards were well-trained, facing the crazy attack of hundreds of nobles and their guards who were in extreme panic and most of them were of high status, the formation could not help but experience a momentary delay and chaos.

After all, as a noble in the royal city, even if one's status is low, one can spend money to turn himself into a high-level professional.

Even if they are not combat professions, their basic attributes cannot be underestimated.

The shadow guard who rushed towards Monica was directly hit and blocked by the surging crowd, and the fatal attack was abruptly interrupted.

Now is the time!

At the same time as Mark shouted, an invisible force was accurately infused into Monica's body through the soul connection!

Now he no longer needs to touch his teammates one by one to add buffs to them. With a soul link, he can add the buffs of [Holy Light Healing■] and [Holy Light Protection■] to Monica.

He turned around and presented everyone present with the forbidden scripture "Judgment of Eternal Nightmare".

The attack hit rate of everyone present is reduced by 25%, and the spell failure rate is increased by 30%.

Let them continue to cause chaos. If they fail to kill anyone after a long time, it will only lead to a more chaotic situation.

With Mark's support, Monica felt more at ease.

Monica's eyes instantly became as sharp as a tempered blade!

She did not hesitate at all, nor did she try to escape from the chaotic ground exit, which was the focus of the guards' deployment!

After her body was blessed by Mark's BUFF, the colorful black light magic blessed by the mysterious existence seemed to have raised her shadow magic to a higher level.

The body lurking in the shadows turned into an afterimage that was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye. Taking advantage of the huge chaos and shadows created by the surging crowd below, his legs burst out with astonishing power!

Pound! Pound! Pound!

Her toes precisely touched the overturned display cases, overturned chairs, and even the shoulders of the nobles who were waving their arms in panic.

As if walking on invisible stairs, his body was almost parallel to the ground, and as fast as a dark red lightning that tore through the air, he rushed straight to the second floor - the box where Irina was!

Monica's goal has never changed!

Irina!

Right now!

The cold murderous intent penetrated the chaotic noise and locked onto the frightened woman who was standing behind the fence of the box, tightly protected by the gray-robed wizard and ordinary guards.

When Monica's figure emerged from the light again.

Her white arms tore through the air like a shadow storm, and the dagger pierced Irina's throat!
