Chapter 178 Sunshine
Byrne took a deep breath and stared at the figure of "Sun Gold". He still remembered very clearly what Viscount Best said to him at that time.
"You know what? Byrne, if you hide a grain of sand in the desert, no one will find it."
"If you want to kill a few people who need to be killed without anyone knowing, it's best to set a fire without any motive and raze the entire street to the ground."
Of course he understood what Viscount Best meant.
In order for the Lion Family to clear themselves of suspicion of killing Xavier and others, enough people must die at the wedding banquet so that people will realize that the visitor is not targeting only the Eagle Family, and is even less likely to be from the Lion Family.
So, a lot of people will die at the wedding banquet.
Byrne silently stared at the movements of "Sun Gold" and suddenly found that the man with lifeless eyes was also looking in his direction.
It was noticed.
If it were him in the past, he would definitely be moved, but at this moment, Byrne smiled calmly, walked slowly forward, and stared at the monarch-level strong man without fear.
"Hello, I have always had a good memory and can remember most of the nobles and celebrities on the East Coast, but I don't think I have ever seen you. Are you also a guest invited here?"
He did not deliberately avoid it, but took the initiative to talk to "Sun Gold" and even questioned his identity.
Byrne knew clearly that Viscount Best had given Sun Gold a picture album in advance, and some of the people on the album were people he must kill, while others were people he absolutely could not kill.
The important members of the Fischer family are all the latter, and I am no exception.
Once a person who is not allowed to be killed in the atlas is killed, "Sun Gold" will be considered to have violated the oath and will no longer be rewarded. Otherwise, he will be punished by God.
So no matter what I say, there will be no danger. I just need to stay calm and not be recognized as "Mithril" by "Sun Gold".
In any case, Byrne did not want to reveal his true identity in front of this extremely dangerous bishop.
The tall "Sun Gold" was nearly two meters tall. He slowly lowered his head and stared into Byrne's eyes, as if confirming the target.
His voice is magnetic and very steady.
"Dear Lord Byrne Fisher, I am a merchant who travels around the country of Syat selling spices. John, our family's caravan has always had a trading relationship with the Lion Family. Recently, I came to the East Coast Province from another province and happened to receive an invitation to Viscount Best's wedding."
"It's normal that you don't know me. After all, I only come to East Coast Province once every few years. Essentially, I don't belong to your circle."
"Sun Gold" calmly narrated his situation, the spice merchant John, that was a fake identity that Viscount Best had spent more than ten years preparing, and no one would be able to find any flaws.
"I see. Nice to meet you, Mr. John. Since you are a friend of the Rhine family, you are also my friend."
Byrne nodded slightly, smiled, drank a glass of champagne with "Sun Gold", then politely turned and left.
“Look!”
Accompanied by the cheers of the people, the bride and groom from the two families appeared. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the two people, and many people were staring intently at this historic scene.
Byrne had already walked to a far corner with Chris and Vanessa.
He knew all he had to do next was wait.
After arriving at the corner, Chris quickly realized something was wrong. He saw a gleam in Byrne's eyes, as if he needed to be vigilant in order to deal with what was about to happen.
So he squeezed Vanessa's wrist, silently conveying his meaning.
Vanessa was slightly stunned, then nodded slightly.
"Sun Gold"'s tall body slowly squeezed through the crowd, stepped forward, and observed the people around him with an expressionless face.
He finally stood still and calmly stretched out his hand towards the sky. Everyone around him subconsciously looked at the "Sun Gold" who made the gesture, with a puzzled look on their face, not knowing what this man was going to do.
Nearly a thousand people gathered in various places in the suburban manor, and there were actually hundreds of people standing near the "Sun Gold" watching the wedding ceremony.
He will limit the scope of the power's influence.
During the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom had already come to the most conspicuous stage and stood in front of Acting Bishop Zain.
Zain smiled and said solemnly to the two men and women:
"Under the witness and blessing of the Lord of the Vast Storms, you are about to become a loving couple. I know that you will be responsible for each other's families and for this country. At the same time, a hundred years later, you will also express your gratitude to the gods devoutly, because His majesty will protect you from harm throughout your lives."
Viscount Best narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Many people around him had smiles on their faces, and were even relieved, feeling that the East Coast Province was about to usher in complete peace.
The tall "Sun Gold" observed everything around him expressionlessly, completely out of tune with the cheerful atmosphere. Suddenly, a faint golden light appeared in the palm of his hand.
"Um?"
Ariel, who was standing dozens of meters away, suddenly turned her head and stared at the location of "Sun Gold".
“Bless you!”
The next moment, the crowd waved flowers in their hands, smiled, the music gradually sounded, the atmosphere of the banquet became warm and cheerful, and the guests applauded spontaneously.
Countless white doves and petals flew into the sky.
Ariel's expression changed drastically, and great fear was revealed in her eyes.
An object that looked like a miniature sun appeared in the lifeless palm of "Sun Gold". The next moment, endless golden sun light burst out from his palm to all around!
It was as if the sun was rising slowly, its warm light penetrating the sky and illuminating the earth; the golden light gently fell on the crowd and trees, dyeing everything with brilliant gold.
Those people who were smiling and applauding were gradually swallowed up by the golden light.
Byrne and Chris looked at this scene in amazement. It was a powerful force that they had hardly ever come into contact with. The golden light swallowed up hundreds of people in the blink of an eye.
The golden light gradually dissipated, and people finally came to their senses, looking blankly at the place where the sunlight burst out a few seconds ago.
Everyone was surprised to find that the people covered by the sunlight had disappeared.
"It's such a bright light, but it's not blinding at all. What's going on? What happened just now?"
"Those people, where did those people go?"
"Sunshine, gentle and strong sunshine, as if the sun fell from the sky..."
The husband was looking for his wife. She had just been standing beside him, but now there was no trace of her in the world.
He was at a loss and couldn't understand the current situation.
Among the hundreds of people who just disappeared, there were not only two important members of the Eagle Family, but also a direct blood relative of the Lion Family, who was one of Viscount Best's beloved grandchildren in recent years.
All the people disappeared, leaving only "Sun Gold" with lifeless eyes standing there.
There was still a hint of golden afterglow in the center of his palm.
Ariel Romen's face was serious, and her eyes looked away in astonishment, hundreds of meters away, staring at "Sun Gold".
"Sun Gold" knew full well that she could get away, and looked at the other person calmly.
If anyone could get in his way, it was only that woman.
A drop of cold sweat appeared on Ariel's beautiful cheek, and fear surged in her heart.
"A middle monarch? How could he be a middle monarch? Why would such a strong man suddenly appear in the East Coast Province of Syat?"
Among the monarchs and powerful men in the entire Siat, including the heretical sects, there are only seven or eight people who can reach the middle position.
Her mind was racing, but her abilities and appearance just didn't match up. She simply couldn't understand who the top expert was that man with lifeless eyes?
Viscount Best was horrified, Viscount Xavier looked stunned, and the eyes of the rest of the people were filled with panic. They stared in disbelief at the top powerhouse who suddenly appeared.
“Just now, Mr. Xavier’s two younger brothers seemed to be there, but they disappeared after the sudden burst of sunlight!”
"And there is also the grandson of Lord Best, and even the head of the Dawn family..."
People's hearts were filled with despair and fear. In just a moment, several major viscount families had suffered heavy casualties!
Although the range of the sunlight just now was not very large, the powerful force contained in it could be clearly sensed by all the extraordinary people!
Everyone knew very well that he was a top-level powerful person at the monarch level, and they had no way to contend with him!
"Everyone, don't panic! Cooperate with Master Ariel!"
Viscount Best shouted without hesitation and solemnly recited the spell to activate the barrier. The barrier covering the city of Fein was very advanced, and even a powerful monarch would be suppressed by the great force.
Suddenly, a ray of golden sunlight penetrated Viscount Best's body, and the spell to activate the barrier was interrupted.
In full view of everyone, a huge, hideous wound appeared on his chest, and his body trembled and fell down, as if he was dead.
"ah!"
"Viscount Best is dead!"
Everyone was completely panicked. When they came to their senses, they were still thinking about whether to resist or not. But after seeing Viscount Best fall down, they were all panicked and could only place their hopes on Ariel Romen.
They then witnessed a desperate scene. Ariel, a powerful monarch, disappeared out of thin air and left first, leaving only broken bubbles on the ground.
In the corner, Byrne and Chris looked at each other. Even though he had expected it, he still felt cruel and shocked.
Viscount Best was merciless to his old friend and his grandson, and even put himself on the verge of death.
Only in this way, no one will doubt that the sudden massacre is related to the Lion family, and "Sun Gold" will soon be given a well-known identity, making the logic of this crazy attack reasonable and self-consistent.
Byrne took a deep breath and said to Chris and Vanessa, who were unaware of the situation, "Run away."
