Chapter 114 Epilogue
As the night passed and the morning came, the exhausted Fischer family urgently held a family meeting.
In the basement of Fisher Manor, the three core members of the family were reviewing the whole incident and thinking about what to do next.
Byrne breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a little apprehensive. He said with a sense of luck: "Fortunately, we notified the Lion Family in advance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Then confusion appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't help but look at Irene and continued:
"What are those so-called followers of the Lost Lord mentioned by the Black Lion? According to him, there was a town on the east coast that was sacrificed by the Lost Lord followers, and all the people in the town died."
The news of the destruction of a town had not yet spread, but Byrne knew it was only a matter of time before it did, and then "The Lost Believers" would become a hot topic.
"Despicable imposter!"
Irene's eyes were full of anger, and she almost gritted her teeth when she talked about the topic of "other believers of the Lost Lord".
How could there be other believers of the Lost Lord? Those who suddenly appeared are undoubtedly liars and fakes. It's disgusting!
She was just about to say that those who pretended to have a false faith must not have a good death and must go to hell forever, but she suddenly remembered that the Fisher family at night was actually also pretending to be the Poseidon Cult and doing things, so she was suddenly unable to speak.
"It seems we have the same idea."
Byrne nodded and said very seriously: "Just like we are pretending to be members of the Poseidon Cult, there are also some people pretending to be followers of the Lost Lord."
"They sacrificed an entire town in the name of the followers of the Lord of Lost. I don't know which evil being they sacrificed to, and what kind of gift they will receive. This matter has not yet been fully spread, but it will surely shock several major churches and the entire Siat Kingdom in the future!"
He recalled everything he had experienced in the Alchemy Council and took a deep breath.
Although the specific reasons are unclear, some people have already begun looking for the traces of the Lost Lord in the four eastern countries, and now they can further narrow the search scope.
"By then, more and more forces will head to the East Coast Province. Some hope to find followers of the Lost Lord, while others want to pretend to be followers of the Lost Lord and do some secret and dark things."
He fell silent after he finished speaking. A tense and depressing atmosphere spread in the basement. Everyone knew that the Order of Dawn needed to be more secretive and cautious in the future because the possibility of being discovered would become increasingly greater.
Irene was not afraid of the more chaotic situation and asked the next topic:
"What should we do next? We have destroyed the Case family, but the subsequent finishing issues have not been completely resolved."
Byrne thought for a moment, nodded and said:
"There is indeed a lot to do. We must occupy the territory of the Case family and cannot give any chance to the Leander family or even the Garcia family."
He paused here.
"I had actually anticipated what would happen to Theo's son, but I was unable to offer a solution at that time. Now, I have a channel for him to vent his hatred."
Irene also sighed for Theo's matter, and then instructed: "In addition, you must remember to reward Vanessa and the others. Although everyone has been loyal, we can't be negligent in rewards and punishments."
"Well, of course I understand."
Byrne responded immediately.
This temporary family meeting ended here. Chris stood by and listened silently without saying a word.
At the same time, Carl, floating high in the sky, listened silently to the entire family meeting.
When he heard that the followers of the Lost Lord had sacrificed an entire town, he had a very strange feeling.
Where are the lost believers?
Why don't I know about them?
Then Carl realized that someone must be pretending to be his believer and doing things that were not allowed.
The situation on the East Coast is becoming increasingly complicated.
It's not just this force that suddenly appeared and pretended to be his believers. Other secret organizations include the Poseidon Cult, the Alchemy Council, and the force that tried to kidnap Chris not long ago.
They each have different goals and ideas, and they all emerged at the same time, taking advantage of the divisions and civil wars among the major churches, secretly trying to make the East Coast Province even more chaotic.
There is no doubt that for the extremely weak Fisher family, the future environment of the East Coast Province will become even more harsh and chaotic.
They also need more caution and more strength to overcome the difficulties that will eventually come.
The only thing that really concerned Carl was the "star" that tried to take Chris away.
"That" seems to be something that does not exist in this world but is located in another world.
All Chris saw was a projection.
However, just by revealing his projection, he is already an extremely huge and exaggerated existence. He is even a huge threat to the entire world of Krad.
"The God from the outside world?"
——
After the family meeting, Byrne left Fisher Manor immediately to look for the depressed Theo.
Theo's condition was indeed very bad. He was drinking rum like crazy in a bar in the West City District, and his whole body was full of the strong smell of alcohol.
"Captain Tio, drink, keep drinking, you'll be fine once you're drunk."
Many of Fischer's family guards gathered around him, doing their best to comfort this respectable captain who had lost his son in middle age.
Theo said nothing, but just kept drinking in silence, drinking, and drinking.
While they were in the tavern, the rest of the Nasir remained silent.
Everyone could see that Mr. Theo was very sad, so no one dared to laugh.
There are unwritten rules in several taverns in Nasir Town. No matter what kind of alcohol certain people drink when they come to the tavern, the tavern will give them free drinks without charging any fees. The influential Tio is clearly one of them.
Seeing that Mr. Theo of the Fisher family was obviously not right, the tavern owner consciously asked the waitress to bring glasses of drinks.
Byrne suddenly pushed the door open, ignored the people around him and greeted him, and calmly gave orders.
"All of you get out."
After hearing the order, everyone in the tavern left quickly and efficiently, and no one dared to question a word.
The tavern owner came over respectfully and bowed his head and said, "Dear Baron, may I ask you..."
Without even glancing at him, Byrne said calmly, "You guys get out too."
"Yes, sir."
The tavern owner and the servants had no doubts and quickly left the place that actually belonged to them.
The family guards were already standing on both sides. Byrne slowly walked up to Theo and looked at the drunken middle-aged man. He felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
But he still tried to speak calmly:
"The family still needs you, Tio, to take people to those villages to take over them. We must act quickly. We must do everything before the Garcia family reacts."
Theo continued to drink in silence. One painful thing that happened after becoming a superhuman was that it became difficult to get himself drunk.
Seeing his family's confidant become so decadent, Byrne couldn't suppress the pain deep in his heart, and knew that he had to let Theo find something to vent his inner feelings.
Otherwise, he will be completely devastated.
Byrne leaned over and whispered in the middle-aged man's ear:
"The Keith family is gone, but many of the managers of those villages are their relatives, and there may be people among them who are related to your son's case."
"If you go too late, they will all run away. No one will wait for you to take revenge."
Theo was stunned for a while, then stood up suddenly and turned to look at the family guards standing on both sides.
"You all, follow me!" He yelled and led everyone out of the tavern.
Byrne raised his unfinished glass of wine and drank it.
For more than twenty years, he had never allowed himself to get drunk.
Byrne actually has a deep-seated resistance to being drunk and unable to control his consciousness.
In that state, his sanity was almost gone, and he felt that it was even more terrifying than temporarily losing the power of the sequence.
"I'm sorry, Theo..."
"No matter how hard I try, I can't handle everything. I can only do what I should do within the scope of my power."
Vanessa and others who participated in the destruction of the Case family were rewarded with fifty gold coins.
They may not care, or even think that it is natural to fight for the Fisher family, but Byrne knows that he cannot really not give them rewards.
Byrne has read many history books, and many dissatisfactions and even betrayals in history often started from small things.
The action of taking over the Case family's territory began immediately.
Before the nearby Leander family and the further Garcia family could react, the Fischer family had already quickly occupied several villages.
The two knight families that were vassal families of the Case family still wanted to resist and even hoped to seek shelter from the Garcia family. The Fischer family showed no mercy and immediately sent them all to see Baron Case.
At the same time, a knight family fled with their entire family and left the four towns directly, and another knight family chose to surrender to Fisher.
They are the Abbott Knight Family, and in the family there is a pair of brother and sister knights in their thirties.
Since the Case family had always wanted to swallow up the Abbott family's property, they had long been dissatisfied and supported Fisher's actions.
The Fisher family's greedy actions soon shocked every family in the four towns.
Baron Leander wrote a letter to Byrne, in which he expressed great surprise at the sudden demise of the Case family, and then denounced the abominations of the Poseidon Cult.
He also hoped to gain control of a village, thinking that the two families could be considered allies and that he had at least contributed to "pointing the way" for the Fischer family.
But Byrne simply ignored the letter. He just thought Baron Leander was quite humorous.
In the study, Byrne called Vanessa to tell him an important matter.
"Vanessa, I have something for you to do. Remember to do it well."
He said solemnly: "The spoils we have looted from the Case family these days, including those mysterious objects and precious jewels, are all sent to the Lion Family as gifts."
"Just say that it's to thank them for their guidance in setting up Fisher's factory in town."
Vanessa was not surprised at all. She lowered her head slightly and asked, "Master, should we send 30% or 50%?"
"all."
Byrne spoke without hesitation, emphasizing his tone.
A few days later, word spread of the Case family's demise and the Fisher family's movements.
The most shocking thing was the disappearance of a town in the southern part of the East Coast Province.
It really disappeared out of thin air, leaving no trace at all in the world, and people soon heard a horrifying name, the "culprit" of this cult sacrifice.
"Lost believers!"
A few days later,
The Garcia family's carriage slowly arrived at the town of Nasir. They arrogantly ignored the people who came to greet them and drove all the way to the door of the Fisher family, intending to call them to task.
However, when they saw the Lion Family emblem on the carriage parked outside, they drove the carriage away from Nasir Town in silence.
Never came back.
