Chapter 396 Playing in the Palm of Your Hand
The entire city of Weiger is under very strict martial law and a complete curfew has been implemented. Marquis Middle has issued an order requiring all ordinary people to restrict their travel.
And those extraordinary people under his command worked in groups, constantly searching for the figure of "Death" Chris Fisher.
"Ghost" Middleton didn't think that anyone other than himself would have the chance to kill or capture Chris Fischer.
Don't even think about that kind of thing.
However, among the extraordinary people leading the teams, there are those who have reached the qualitative change level, and they can at least destroy the surrounding buildings. As long as one of them dies, there is a good chance that they can make some noise before dying.
This will allow him to detect Chris's exact location!
However, they were on guard for the entire night without achieving any results.
Chris Fischer was like ice falling into water, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
In fact, they are completely unaware of one crucial thing.
Even now, almost no one outside the Fischer family knows the secret of Chris's "Pseudo-Ghost Playing Cards".
And that is one of the most terrifying abilities of the Path of Silence!
Chris could easily avoid all tracking by simply transforming himself into an ordinary local of Weiger City and then replacing the original person.
"Cousin..."
Outside the manor, the cousin of Marquis Middle arrived.
She was a middle-aged woman nicknamed "Ice Soul". She was slightly plump and wore intricate and gorgeous clothes. Even though her face showed obvious signs of aging, she still looked noble in her every move.
Marquis Middle nodded slightly.
"That Chris, he's here as expected."
The cousin frowned and looked at him, thought for a moment, and continued:
"I wonder if that 'Grim Reaper' Chris has left?"
Lord Middle did not reply.
So his cousin went on.
"Because he didn't show up again in a day and a night, and our barrier is constantly open, we have to continuously consume extraordinary materials, which costs money. I don't know how long it will take to consume them."
Marquis Middle shook his head slowly and said calmly: "The issue of money is the least important. It is always a good thing to be cautious. If we capsize due to carelessness, we will not have the chance to regret it."
He paused, then suddenly said:
"Back then, I should have avenged Viscount Garcia, disregarded the rules, and went directly to the East Coast to crush the Fisher family. Then there wouldn't be so many things happening today."
However, his cousin sneered after hearing this, shook her head, and laughed:
"Ha, even now, the fighting among the petty nobles has never stopped, but have you paid attention to it?"
After hearing this, Marquis Middel remained silent. This was indeed the case, because there were too many petty nobles related to the entire Syat and the "Ruins Song Spirit" family, and he simply could not manage them one by one, not to mention spending excessive energy on those petty nobles.
Regret for not taking action to crush the Fisher family is just a meaningless thought.
My cousin nodded slightly and continued:
"Yeah, there is no possibility at all. You and I are focusing on the big families of the same level. At that time, haha, our energy was still focused on stabbing the Huo Wen family in the back."
She paused and said doubtfully:
"Cousin, speaking of which, several members of the family are missing. Where did they go? Especially the children."
Marquis Middleton immediately said, "Don't worry."
"I hid them all. When I spotted the figure of the 'God of Death' in the city, I knew I would be assassinated, so I hid them in advance."
My cousin nodded and said:
"I see. That's good. Otherwise, I'm really worried that the battle at the monarch level would affect those children."
After his cousin left, Marquis Middle suddenly remembered something.
Back then, the Black Iron Duke of the Roman family publicly told the old king that Syat’s biggest problem was that the Yatli royal family was not strong enough and the power was not concentrated enough, which led to frequent internal strife that would inevitably consume a large amount of the overall national strength.
Indeed, he predicted correctly.
Because of the protracted civil war, too many people have died in Syat, and it is likely that it will soon become the weakest of the four countries. The other three countries may all come to take a piece of the pie. Everything is sliding in a bad direction.
However, Marquis Middle's face was cold and he muttered to himself grimly.
"Now that the fight has begun, it can't be stopped easily!"
Five days later, the famous "Grim Reaper" Chris Fischer seemed to have disappeared without a trace, with no sign of reappearing.
However, just when Marquis Middle was about to lift the martial law and curfew, Chris suddenly appeared in the city again!
So a new round of martial law and curfew began, and soon another eight days passed. This time, the troublesome Chris still hadn't shown up. Everyone was tired and nervous for too long, and they all felt dissatisfied deep down.
Marquis Middle's attitude was very tough. The second round of martial law was not completely lifted until thirteen days later, but he had a strong bad feeling deep in his heart.
"Oops, the situation is not favorable for us now, and he doesn't seem to lack patience."
"That Chris might want to..."
Sure enough, on the second day after the martial law and curfew were lifted, Chris suddenly appeared, killed some of Marquis Middle's subordinates with lightning speed, and then disappeared.
Although those people were insignificant members of the family, the fear they brought was effective and instantly made everyone in the city nervous again.
In this way, Chris played with the people of the entire city for more than a month. Almost everyone was scared of him, and Marquis Middle finally found a way to crack it.
The method to crack it was found by a "great lord" from the White Sea. People called him "the devil dog", and he was a transcendent at a level below that of a monarch.
He has the advanced bloodline of the "Hellhound" and possesses very powerful searching and tracking abilities. As long as Chris Fisher shows up again, he will definitely be caught by the "Hellhound's" ability.
In fact, as early as the second time Chris played a trick on everyone, Marquis Middle had already gone to Baihai to invite someone, but unfortunately the journey was too far and he was not invited until now.
But Marquis Middle also knew one thing deep in his heart: if Chris gave up the assassination and left now, he would really be broken.
But there was no other way, he really had no other choice.
The "God of Death" is really too difficult to deal with. Although there are many people in the world who can kill Chris head-on, there are probably not many guys more hateful than him!
Just like this, another whole month passed, and the "demon dog" said that the agreed time had come, so he took the forbidden object with a four-digit number and left Weiger City.
Because of the oath they had established, Marquis Middle did not stop the other party's idea.
He also believed that Chris Fischer should have completely left the city of Weiger and given up the assassination.
Even so, my inner mood is still very bad, and it feels bad to be completely led by others.
However, before the "Demon Dog" reached the port for sailing, it encountered the expressionless Marquis Middle at night.
In the darkness of the night, the "Demon Dog" narrowed his eyes and said very cautiously:
"My Lord Marquis, haha, what exactly do you want to do by coming here all of a sudden? Are you going to break your oath and take back the forbidden treasure?"
"Of course not."
Marquis Middle just walked towards the "demon dog" after he finished speaking, without a trace of emotion on his face.
The Demon Dog's expression suddenly changed drastically. He had already sensed that something was wrong, so he was about to activate his power while yelling, "Wait! Who are you!"
However, he was stunned just after he finished speaking, and the next moment a large amount of blood rained out from his whole body, and his whole body was shattered in an instant.
A great lord who ruled over hundreds of thousands of people in the White Sea died at the hands of the "Marquis of Middle", and the few people around him burst into screams.
"Marquis Middle" quickly disappeared, in the dark where no one knew, took off his disguise, and turned back into Chris.
He calmly held two forbidden objects in his hands, one was a pitch-black ring belonging to the "demon dog" himself, and the other was a dark blue book that was the reward paid by Marquis Middle.
The assassination was not over yet, but Chris knew in his heart that it had been largely successful.
