Chapter 104 Fisher Fears Enemy
After getting up, Theo didn't talk to his wife or eat. He went straight to Fisher Manor and soon saw the guy who informed the cultists.
He is the cousin of the former chief of Urd village.
Now the man was tied up with ropes and kneeling on the lawn outside the mansion, his eyes wide open and his whole body trembling.
Byrne and Irene stood nearby, staring at the man silently. Then Byrne looked up at Theo and told him the whole story.
“This is actually what happened.”
Theo finally understood, because the Fisher family's carriage stopped once in the village of Urd on the way from Nasir to the city of Fein.
The managers of Urd Village were originally from the Case family. After the Fisher family gained control of the village, they immediately replaced the managers with members of their own family.
Then they exiled anyone who had discontented thoughts.
However, even after achieving this, there were still relatives and friends of the vested interests in Urd Village who were dissatisfied, which was regarded as an oversight by the Fischer family when handling the matter.
There was no way. They couldn't control the thoughts of every person on the land. Besides, many people in the village were related to each other, so if they were all exiled, the scope would be too large.
Irene actually remembered that the village chief's cousin had no malicious intentions towards the Fisher family.
He was even happy that his cousin was exiled, because his cousin was extremely arrogant with the support of the Case family and did not take others seriously at all.
It can be said that at that time, the man welcomed the Fisher family's move to drive out the Case family.
However, people's hearts are always prone to change.
In recent weeks, he had become resentful of the retaliation against him by those in the village whom Fischer had helped to rise to power because of his previous arrogance and domineering behavior.
That day, some men who were short of money happened to see the Fisher family's carriage, and ran to the Case family to exchange this information for money.
He was rewarded with a gold coin.
And the man certainly never thought that he would end up dying because of this incident.
"How was he discovered?" Theo was surprised. Urd was some distance away from Nasir Town, but this man was caught so quickly.
Byrne replied calmly, "I have already told Uldre's supporters of Fischer that there will be rewards for reporting suspicious people. He was targeted and reported when he came back with the gold coins to drink."
He shook his head, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and said in a low voice: "The whole thing is a conspiracy of the Case family. It's really ridiculous to think about it. The Fisher family almost perished because of a gold coin."
"It's a pity that we don't have sufficient evidence to report them to the Church of Storms, and this man's words alone are meaningless."
He turned around calmly, came to Theo and whispered:
"Since reporting is not an option, there is no need to keep the person."
Theo soon heard the man, whose face was flushed and whose whole body was shaking uncontrollably, shouting.
"Don't kill me! I know I was wrong! I'm willing to pay compensation. I'll do anything you ask me to do. Just don't kill me!"
Byrne shook his head and left, then stopped and said solemnly:
"Tio, when you go and solve it, be sure not to let the children see it."
"Um."
Theo nodded calmly, then grabbed the man by the shoulders, lifted him up, and dragged him across the lawn.
"Please, ahh! Don't kill me, ahh! I beg you!"
Theo could feel the other person's struggle, so she punched him in the back of the head and yelled:
"Come here, asshole!"
The man fell to the ground immediately after being hit hard, but after a while he got up groaning and begging for mercy incoherently.
"Bastard, you should have thought of today when you betrayed Fischer!"
Theo dragged the man to a corner, found a rope and tied it tightly around his neck. He held it tight for a long time until his struggling body stopped shaking, then he suddenly let go.
The body fell to the ground and lay motionless.
"Damn it, this is such a hassle!"
He just felt a nameless anger in his heart today. He picked up the corpse and walked towards the cart parked not far away. He first put the corpse on the cart, and then covered it with a large white cloth.
Then Theo left the town of Nasir as if he knew the route well, and went all the way to the beach on the east coast, where he threw the body into the sea from the cliff.
"What a heavy fat pig. I am so tired."
Theo did not go back immediately, but sat on the cliff by the sea and watched the tide for a long time, silently staring at the turbulent sea water and the splashing waves.
“Aaaaaaaaah!”
He suddenly roared a few times, and his voice traveled very far.
Theo suddenly felt much better.
It is normal that my wife does not understand me. After all, I have never really communicated with her.
And he really couldn't tell her what he really did every day. All this time, he had been suppressing all the killing and darkness in his heart.
I thought about talking to my family but I knew I couldn't do that.
She did her part, and I had to do mine.
Theo figured it out.
He wanted to ask for a long vacation from Mr. Byrne, then go to Finn City to find his stupid son, and then the whole family would have a good rest for a while.
I also need to have a good talk with my wife and children about the future.
Mr. Byrne would agree to the request because he has always been very kind to his relatives and friends, and Theo is well aware of this.
When he returned to the Fisher family, Theo suddenly saw his wife's thin figure in the hall again.
"Why are you here?"
Seeing his wife's red eyes from crying and Mr. Byrne's hesitant look, he suddenly had a strong premonition of something extremely ominous.
"What happened?"
"Tio, it's bad news."
Byrne shook his head silently, then took out an opened letter from his arms and handed it to Theo.
The middle-aged man with gray hair on his temples took the letter, lowered his head and stared at the contents inside. His confused eyes gradually widened, and fear and anger gradually surged up!
His son was kidnapped by the Case family.
Although the letter stated that the Case family invited his son to be a guest, even the most obtuse person could understand the true meaning of the letter.
"It seems that the Case family wants to continue to put pressure on us. Since they can't kidnap the Fisher family, and Vanessa and the others are orphans, so..."
Byrne stopped talking after this analysis, took a deep breath, and patted Theo's shoulder seriously.
"Relax, Theo, don't be nervous, we won't let anything happen to him."
"Yes, I understand..."
Theo took a deep breath. It was okay. Her son should still be safe.
Because the other party kidnapped him just to threaten the Fisher family, they would definitely not kill him, otherwise he would become worthless.
Although his mind told him so, Theo still felt chest tightness and even difficulty breathing, and he couldn't say anything.
"Go save him! What are you still doing here?"
His wife suddenly rushed up and hit Theo on the chest, and he could only let her hit him in silence.
Byrne immediately waved his hand, and several servants came up to pull Theo's wife away and persuade her carefully.
"What, what are you going to do?"
There was an unprecedented pleading look in Theo's eyes when he looked at Byrne. Byrne took a deep breath and could fully feel the sincere desire of this man who was both his teacher and friend.
What exactly is the Fisher family going to do?
Byrne has also been thinking about the whole thing. Even with the support of Viscount Best, how can the Fisher family fight against the Case family?
Under normal circumstances, the Viscount families would not directly participate in the underlying struggles.
If Byrne asks Viscount Best to take action, the Garcia family behind the Case family will also take action, and finally even the eight major noble families of Syat will get involved, and the whole thing will escalate to an even more uncontrollable level.
Moreover, he could sense that there was some unknown reason behind Viscount Best's kindness, and he did not want to owe him a major favor as much as possible.
What would happen if the Fishers went to war directly with the Cases?
He assessed the strength of both sides in his heart.
The Keith family has two bloodline knights who have degenerated into a lower rank, and there are more than ten Origin Transcendents within the family and under their command.
Although numbers are not everything, at least in terms of surface strength, the Fisher family has no advantage at all.
Even if the disadvantage can be reversed by relying on tactics, Fischer's family members will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
Suddenly, Byrne discovered that Chris had quietly come to a location not far away.
He was stunned for a moment, then shocked and alert!
Although it was in his own family manor, Chris could have taken the opportunity to kill himself if he wanted to.
In the battles between low-level transcendents, sneak attacks and first-hand attacks have huge advantages, and even weak transcendents may be able to kill stronger beings.
Chris walked silently to Byrne's side and finally said something in his ear.
"real?"
Byrne looked at Chris with great surprise, and the taciturn boy nodded.
"Um."
Byrne was so happy that he could hardly control himself. Chris' words just now were so surprising. It turned out that he had already digested the potion more than a year ago and successfully found a way to advance to the third level!
If Chris is given a few more months, he will be able to be successfully promoted, much faster than Byrne!
"That's great, Theo, I'll leave for a moment."
After Byrne finished speaking, Theo was stunned for a moment, as if he had just come to his senses, and lowered his head and said, "Well, I understand, Master of the Family."
Afterwards, Byrne, Chris and Irene gathered in the Fisher family's basement.
What happened in just a few days was extremely serious. The Fisher family must take countermeasures, otherwise they may be destroyed at any time!
Byrne quickly stated his specific countermeasures.
"We'd better learn from the Leander family and express our weakness and compromise, so that the Case family will think that we have completely surrendered."
Irene thought for a moment and continued, "And then? When are you going to turn against me?"
Byrne immediately replied, "Of course, after Chris successfully reaches the third step."
"What?"
Byrne immediately told Chris that he would be promoted in a few months, and asked Chris to write down the path to promotion so that he could record it in his notes.
Irene looked at Chris in surprise.
Chris had never told anyone about such a big thing, and only revealed it now.
But since it was him, it made sense.
Byrne took a deep breath and said, "I think that out of prudence, the Fisher family should not easily make enemies with others."
"I was afraid of making enemies because I hated the Meyer family who killed my father."
He was silent for a moment, then continued.
"After the death of the members of the Leander family, they submitted to the Case family out of fear, but secretly wanted to kill them all the time."
"We must be more cautious, so we must not learn from the Case family and must not create long-lasting hatreds... Once the war starts, we must make the Case family disappear completely and put an end to all the seeds of hatred in advance!"
