Chapter 315 Death
Byrne, who was left alone, was full of vigilance. If the president suddenly attacked, he might be killed with one blow, and he might not even have time to react or negotiate.
Although he was very nervous, he still nodded respectfully and bowed with a smile.
"Excuse me, Master President, what do you need me to do? You actually want me to stay alone."
Sitting in his seat, the mysterious president was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I am about to break through to a higher level, and I will need your strength to use it at that time."
After listening to this, Byrne was silent for a moment, then he took a deep breath and said with a firm look in his eyes:
"Are you referring to my destiny?"
The president nodded slightly and continued, "Well, I can see it. Your key can help me overcome the first difficulty."
"I see."
It turns out that his own power is also effective in breaking through the apocalypse. After remembering this information, Byrne still shook his head.
He said calmly: "The Treasure Key of Destiny must be cast voluntarily by me to take effect. If I don't want to, no one can force me."
"I'm sorry, Master, you are too powerful, and my 'Treasure Key' will consume my lifespan."
"If it's a 'huge help' to break through the apocalypse level, I'm afraid it will directly cost me my life...so I don't want to do that."
After speaking his mind, Byrne was thinking in his heart, wondering what the president's attitude would be next. Would he threaten him or lure him with bargaining chips?
Both developments will reflect the president's true character and will allow Byrne to respond differently.
After all, he didn't want to violate the contract with the Roman family and other families. If he sacrificed all his lifespan for the president, even if he could make a lot of profit, it would not be in line with Byrne's personal principles.
The president's voice came again, still ethereal and deep like an elusive cloud.
"Mithril, you haven't heard my specific requirements and conditions yet, why are you so eager to refuse? But it doesn't matter, you can always come to me again when you need this deal in the future."
“…”
Byrne was silent for a moment, then nodded gently and said, "I understand."
There was no intimidation or inducement, but instead he felt an even greater sense of danger.
Before Byrne was sent away, the president's voice was heard one last time.
"And you have to understand one thing, I don't necessarily need your entire lifespan..."
When Byrne heard this, his heart was slightly moved.
——
South of Syat.
In a manor in Emerald Lake Province.
The interior of the manor is lined with neatly manicured lawns, many gorgeous fountains, and powerful marble sculptures.
Wide paths wind through the estate, leading to scented gardens.
The floral gardens are filled with very different flowers, filling the entire estate with an intoxicating scent.
The fragrance is very pleasant and can make people feel comfortable and firm. Just standing in any corner of the manor, one can feel the peace and tranquility, as if time has stopped here.
The old man, dressed in black and with a resolute look, stood calmly in the manor, gazing at the sun in the sky indifferently.
The "Dragon Tamer" Aldrich, the "Star Man" Ariel, and the "Fire" Amos who is about to break through to the monarch are also standing here.
They all stood together, looking with sad faces at the old man whom they admired in their hearts.
The Iron Duke.
Syat's most legendary legend, the most respected person by many people in the four eastern countries, even his enemies have to praise him.
But now, he is preparing to arrange his funeral affairs.
In fact, since he was defeated by the Loen people and expelled, no one has ever truly defeated the Duke of Black Iron, and his final death was definitely not a defeat to someone, but a defeat to time.
Just like many legends.
The old man, who was praised countless times, looked indifferent and slowly said:
"The time when I was most disheartened was when the ten major families were defeated by the Loen people a hundred years ago. At that time, many strong men from our ten major families died in the battle, and the apocalypse strong men from the Hoven family and the Yadley family were also made to disappear without a trace by trickery..."
"To this day, no one knows their whereabouts."
"If the gods had not issued an oracle to end the war, the ten major families in the East would have been wiped out by the 'Iron Marshal' Horatio Wesley. At that time, I had just become a monarch, and I witnessed the death of most of my family members in the war. I was almost in despair."
"I am full of hatred towards the people of Lorne, but I don't understand that I am completely powerless on my own. I must pass on the family legacy so that I will have a chance to make a comeback in the future."
He paused and continued, "To take revenge on a giant empire, it may take hundreds or even thousands of years..."
"So King Syat and I supported each other and began to fight side by side. We led the people in those territories to migrate to the east of the continent, wiped out those barbaric natives, and finally created a brand new country."
The three of them listened silently. They all knew that history, and every Syat was very clear about it.
"Today, my life span is coming to an end, and the situation in the east of the continent that has lasted for a hundred years is probably finally going to change... Hehe, Fisher's little guys did a great job!"
The Duke of Dark Iron took a deep breath.
"In fact, I must tell you one thing, that is, King Syat's mental state is not right."
“This matter is very important!”
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then Aldridge immediately asked calmly:
"I want to know what exactly is wrong with you?"
Duke Black Iron turned around, stared at the three people and said, "In the war with the Rhea people, he used a powerful forbidden artifact, but the price was a permanent distortion of his spirit."
Aldridge nodded slightly and began to think.
"I see, that's how it is..."
"No wonder you haven't visited him in recent years, and there are rumors that you two are not getting along..."
Suddenly, the old man, who was still in good spirits, raised his voice and his words were full of power.
"No matter what, you must remember one thing, that is, be loyal to Syat and our king. The Roman family needs to help the king manage the country. This is the mission of our Syat nobles!"
"Even though he is a little mentally unstable, I know very clearly that King Syat's love for the country is absolutely unchanged. No one cherishes this country more than him!"
Aldrich nodded and said seriously: "I understand. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the Roman family will never betray King Siat."
The Dark Iron Duke spoke slowly in a low voice, "If there is room for loyalty, it is not true loyalty, Aldrich."
Loyalty that is not absolute is absolute disloyalty.
However, Aldridge said firmly:
"If King Syat betrays us first, I will not allow the Roman family to fall into hell!"
"All right."
The Duke of Black Iron finally compromised, and then continued: "Ariel, from today on, you are the head of the Roman family. You must always remember not to act out of anger, but to think for the benefit of the family."
Ariel took a deep breath, opened her mouth, and finally nodded, her eyes slightly moist.
"I see."
The old man nodded slightly and looked at the youngest one, "Fire" Amos.
"Go out on your own way."
He did not close his eyes, but gazed at the sun in the sky again.
Many years passed by, and I experienced countless things, whether it was the enemies I killed or the relatives and friends who passed away, they all appeared before my eyes one after another.
What the old man could not forget the most was actually the time when he migrated eastward with King Syat. The Duke of Black Iron always remembered what the other party said.
"Don't be blinded by hatred and frustration, Roman. You are a strong man. You should forget your failed past and use your strength to create a new future."
The Duke of Black Iron was still a young man at that time. He looked at the man who was equally young, confident and proud, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Who are you?"
The young, confident and proud man laughed and continued.
"Actually, we have met before. I didn't expect you to have forgotten who I am?"
"Okay, I'll officially tell you that I'm the new head of the Yadley family, and I'll be the future King Syat. I'm a man with the blood of the God of Redemption flowing in my veins. Romen, let us build a new country together!"
"And you will become a legend together!"
