Chapter 277 The Gate of Hell (3)
Hiss! Apart from the sound of people sucking in their breath, there was no movement around. Every face was filled with shock, and every pair of eyes was staring so wide that they were almost popping out of their sockets.
Looking at the body on the ground that was still twitching like a centipede that was still alive, the shock in my heart was like an overwhelming sea and I couldn't calm down at all.
This... this is the Grand Duke of the kingdom.
This is the legendary six-star master who is almost invincible in the world.
Just, just die like this? Just being grabbed by the head, smashed to pieces on the ground? Is this real? Even though this scene happened before their eyes, everyone still felt unbelievable. The impact of this scene was too great, and it really made these people unable to react.
Looking at the figure standing next to the body of Grand Duke Egbert, and seeing the filth dripping down his fingers, everyone's scalp tingled, and they felt shocked, terrified, and all kinds of emotions kept surging in their chests.
After nearly half a minute, suddenly, thunderous cheers rang out from the crowd. The mixed sound was louder than thunder and earthquakes, almost blowing the roofs off the surrounding houses. The glass on the buildings on both sides of the street was shaking and crackling.
Dead, finally dead.
The Grand Duke, who had committed numerous evil deeds in the royal city for many years, finally died.
Retribution, this is retribution.
Some even knelt on the ground and cried loudly, perhaps some of their relatives or friends had been harmed by Grand Duke Egbert or someone in the Grand Duke's family.
And now, at last, the Grand Duke was dead.
The Egbert family, a behemoth, will inevitably decline.
Then, a figure was seen tremblingly walking out from the crowd, with one of his legs twisted in a strange posture. He was a middle-aged man, but his hair had already turned gray.
He walked step by step towards Butler who was lying on the ground and still squirming.
His eyes were filled with extremely intense, unresolvable resentment.
He will never forget that day, the day he married his childhood sweetheart. Just because he met Butler on the way to pick up the bride, the young master suddenly had an idea and wanted to taste what the bride tasted like, and then he arranged for a group of lackeys around him to kidnap his wife who had not yet married.
The girl who grew up with him was humiliated in the Grand Duke's mansion and eventually committed suicide.
He wanted to seek justice for his wife, so he took Egbert to the Granville Supreme Court. Granville was the highest legal institution that claimed to severely punish anyone who committed a crime, whether a member of the royal family or a noble clergyman. The court sentenced Egbert to false accusation and broke his right leg.
The reason why he could still survive was not because Butler had a change of heart, but simply because this young master wanted to see him, even though he hated him so much, but could do nothing about him.
From then on, he could only drag his broken body and live in pain worse than death.
He wanted revenge, but he had no power.
But now, God has eyes, and he finally sees Butler and the day when the Egbert family will be in trouble.
He suddenly realized that these high and mighty nobles didn't seem to be that big of a deal. They were just like ordinary people. They would be afraid, get hurt, and die.
The deepest hatred in his heart supported him and made him gradually forget his fear of the nobles. At this moment, he only wanted revenge, revenge with his own hands.
Even if it means suffering crazy revenge from the powerful and wealthy afterwards, it doesn't matter.
Dragging his right leg, he walked towards Butler step by step. It was obvious that this man did not have any special powers. He was just an ordinary person, and a disabled one at that.
But those cold eyes made Butler feel a deep fear. His body couldn't help but tremble, and his scalp was numb.
"You, what do you want to do? I am a noble. Think about the consequences of hurting me. You can't afford it..." Butler howled in intense fear. He still wanted to use his noble identity as his life-saving talisman.
In this world, in the Dusk Continent, commoners do not have the slightest qualification to rebel against the nobles. That is considered treason and the entire family will be hanged.
Normally, these lowly civilians were always timid in front of him, afraid of offending him accidentally. But why were their eyes so ferocious now, as if they wanted to eat him up?
The next second, the man suddenly let out a beast-like howl from his throat, and pounced directly at Butler. He opened his mouth and bit Butler's nose. Blood spurted out from the bridge of his nose instantly.
The teeth bit Butler's nose with such force that it actually bit off.
“Ahhhhhhhh…”
The severe pain made Butler's body twitch and he screamed continuously.
On the other side, a ragged woman came out with a look of resentment. Her daughter, who was just sixteen years old, was kidnapped to the Duke's Mansion by this damned beast. After being tortured for three days and three nights, she was handed over to his lackeys...
More and more figures gathered around.
They seemed to have turned into a group of zombies, having lost all their ethics and morals. At this moment, they just wanted to tear a piece of flesh and blood from this beast. They were all people who had been hurt by the Duke of Egbert's Mansion, and even by the little beast Butler.
At the beginning, Butler could even make bursts of screams, but at some point, even the screams were gradually drowned out and disappeared completely.
To be fair, the scene in front of us can definitely be described as horrifying.
But Ron showed a faint smile on his face.
After being enslaved for eight thousand years, they still had the courage to resist. This at least shows that these people can still be saved.
Countless people kowtowed to Ron and Agnes, worshipping them like gods.
Agnes also smiled softly, even though their original purpose was just to deal with Apu and Holt.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Just to rescue Dolores.
But now, Agnes felt that what she had just done seemed to have brought some other, different meanings, and she did not hate this feeling.
But there was another person in the crowd, his face full of fear.
His entire face had turned extremely pale, without a trace of blood.
He was a slender, short young man, a member of the Granville Royal Guards and a thief by profession.
His strength was not as good as those stationed outside the city, so he was responsible for staying in Adams City to prevent Ron and Agnes from sneaking into the city. When there was a big commotion here before, he had already noticed the existence of Ron and Agnes. He wanted to go directly back to the palace to inform His Majesty the King, but he was attracted by Ron's actions and has stayed there until now.
He could even be considered a minor noble, with the lowest title of lord.
Seeing a large number of civilians overwhelming Grand Duke Egbert and Butler, and scrambling to eat their bodies, he felt as if every part of his body was in severe pain, even though it was not happening to him.
It seems like I am the one being eaten.
Such a bloody and crazy scene made his scalp tingle. He had never thought that the civilians who had always been docile would reveal such sharp fangs.
He was awakened by the blood in front of him, and his body shivered. He finally remembered his mission and did not dare to stay here for too long, as if if he stayed for a few more minutes, he would be eaten by these out-of-control civilians.
He turned and ran.
I ran all the way to the end of the street, but I could no longer hear any sounds from the other side and I could no longer see any scenes from the other side, so I stopped.
One hand was holding onto the wall, and his throat was still gasping for breath.
Even though I had walked a long way away, I could still feel my legs trembling.
It was only after a long time that he recovered a little. He stood up again and prepared to report to the palace. But as soon as he raised his head, he saw two figures in front of him.
In an instant, a dense layer of small bumps appeared on the thief's body.
Who were those two people, if not Ron and Agnes, who had just killed Grand Duke Egbert and caused Butler to be eaten alive by many civilians? At that moment, the thief felt that his heartbeat seemed to have stopped at this moment.
An unprecedented feeling of fear suddenly surged through his body. Although there were clearly two people in front of him, he felt as if he had arrived at the gate of hell!
