Chapter 92: Capture (asking for monthly ticket!)
The sky was covered with thick, dark clouds. Thunder rumbled from the clouds. The rain poured down heavily and rapidly, as if a lake was pouring from the sky to the ground.
"The head of the Fisher family is here!"
Hearing that Lord Byrne was coming, the workers stood up and walked over, and the leading workers surrounded him excitedly.
The family guards quickly distanced themselves from Byrne, and the workers' leaders all kept talking loudly and followed Byrne's footsteps.
Vanessa and the guard captain Theo were both around, and Theo was holding an umbrella for Byrne.
Byrne could see that the gray-haired captain of the guard remained silent, while Vanessa, with rain on her face, quickly recounted what had happened in the sound of the rain.
"The deceased was an old man named Abbott. When we were counting the number of people, we found that old Abbott was missing. It is very likely that the remains of the body belonged to him."
Byrne walked through the water with an expressionless face, listening to what Vanessa said in her ear.
The impact of dismembered bodies is much greater than that of a simple death. The people in the construction factory are now panicking and are reluctant to continue construction for a while.
Some people say that the existence of the factory has attracted some mysterious entity, causing the whole thing to be full of bad luck, and more people will die if it continues.
Finally, Byrne and others arrived at the place where the body parts were found. He went forward personally to check the body parts that had been covered and not washed away by the rain.
The extraordinary ability of "deconstruction perspective" was activated, and a light blue halo appeared in Byrne's eyes. He easily judged that it was indeed human flesh and blood tissue.
“…”
He was silent for a while. This might be due to the existence of a murderer in Nasir Town, or it might be the revenge of the Poseidon Cult, or it might be a warning from the Case family.
If it turns out to be the last one, then the Case family will let them know who the murderer is after a while, otherwise there is no point in killing them.
If a warning is given, the person concerned must be informed.
"Vanessa, go get Chris."
Whoever the murderer was, Byrne felt the Fishers needed to take control.
If they allow the other party to kill people indiscriminately on their territory, it will be troublesome. Not only will the Fisher family be in a very passive position, but their reputation will also be seriously damaged and everyone will be in danger.
Grassroots connections are still very important.
He had thought clearly about Zain’s words.
It is basically impossible for mortals without blood and talent to become extraordinary people in the world. After Zain has seen the top strong men who can destroy the army by themselves, he naturally has an indifferent attitude towards the connections of mortals.
In fact, most extraordinary people are like this, and it is extremely correct from their perspective.
But the situation with the Fischer family was quite different.
The Fisher family possesses the formula for the potion of sequence power. The huge potential power of this family lies in the fact that, in theory, as long as they have enough resources, they can make everyone a transcendent.
Therefore, they also need to pay attention to the elites among ordinary people, like Vanessa, Eric, and Archibald.
Vanessa nodded and went to call Chris.
On the way from Fisher Manor to the scene of the incident, Vanessa told Chris everything that had happened. Even in the heavy rain, the girl still spoke very clearly.
The silver-haired boy just listened silently without saying a word from beginning to end.
“Chris.”
Suddenly, Vanessa's tone changed a little. Instead of saying "Master", she called Chris directly.
He looked at the girl.
She stopped too.
Chris stared at the beautiful girl with short hair and found that there was a kind of pure anger in her expression.
That was an emotion that the core members of the Fisher family rarely expressed to outsiders nowadays.
She was angry for the innocent, sad for the weak, and anguished and determined for the strangled hopes.
"Find that damn bastard, Chris, please. I beg you."
The girl's body was trembling slightly as she pleaded earnestly in the pouring rain.
He didn't say anything, just nodded.
certainly.
Chris suddenly felt happy. It turned out that Vanessa's deepest heart had not changed. She was still the same girl as before.
He smiled slightly.
When the two arrived at the scene, the family guards made way for them.
Byrne patted Chris on the shoulder and said calmly, "Vanessa should have told you everything. It's up to you now, Chris."
Chris's hair was wet from the wind and rain. He lowered his eyes slightly and looked calmly at the remains of the body, then nodded.
He activated his extraordinary characteristic "Tracking Senses", and all kinds of colorful auras appeared in front of him.
Although they were all diluted by the rain, Chris was still able to find the breath he needed to lock onto.
"Found it." Chris said lightly.
——
"They'll never find us."
Inside a hotel in Nasir Town, a man and a woman sat on chairs and drank tea silently.
The man was a black-haired half-orc with wolf ears and a tail, he looked very wild, and he was wearing civilian clothes.
The woman had brown hair, a collar around her neck, and bracelets on her wrists and ankles. She looked to be a young female spellcaster in her twenties.
Both of them are extraordinary people who are attached to the Case family. They come from two different knight families and their strength is at the top.
A few days ago, they received instructions from the Case family to cause some trouble for the Fisher family.
When the Case family and the Leander family were fighting before, they had done something similar. They picked the old worker and killed him, crushed the body, and threw it where it would be easy to find.
The Wolf-Eared Knight exhaled, as if doing this kind of thing still made him a little nervous, and continued:
"We have already investigated in advance. There are no spellcasters who can manipulate corpses among the Fisher family and their vassals, let alone those who are good at prophecy."
In today's magic system, if you want to restore a crime scene, in most cases you must have an intact corpse.
Only a few powerful monarchs can recreate the original scene without a corpse.
The Wolf-Eared Knight continued, "According to the plan, we will kill a few more people in the next ten days."
"Then hint to the Fisher family that if they don't give up control of the village, it will be equivalent to becoming the enemy of the Case family completely."
"By that time, the people who die will not just be a few insignificant ordinary people."
The Case family took some time to confirm that the sudden appearance of the assistant priest was just an accident, and finally made up their minds to take action.
The brown-haired female spellcaster nodded and said, "In fact, we should have taken action a long time ago. Now that the Fisher family has become a true baron family, it is not easy to take action."
The Wolf-Eared Knight shook his head and said, "There's nothing we can do. We didn't know that Baron Hoven was completely insane before, and we didn't know the specific situation of the Hoven family. How could Baron Keith dare to get involved in the Governor's things?"
What about the Hoven family?
The brown-haired female spellcaster fell into deep thought. Well, logically speaking, after Baron Hoven became mentally ill, the Hoven family would not have abandoned this territory. They should have sent someone over.
Why did the Hoven family completely ignore this enclave on the East Coast?
She felt very strange, but after asking, the Wolf-Eared Knight just laughed and refused to mention anything about the Hoven family, leaving the brown-haired female spellcaster completely speechless.
At this moment, the Wolf-Eared Knight's nose moved!
"Yes, there are people approaching, and there are quite a lot of them! We have been discovered, let's run!"
The brown-haired female spellcaster was horrified and shouted, "How is this possible? It's impossible for them to discover us!"
However, any further hesitation would put their lives in danger, so although they didn't understand the situation, they immediately slipped out the back door of the hotel.
They ran all the way to another street. Just when the two were about to take a break, the Wolf-Eared Knight noticed several ordinary people with daggers looking at them from a distance. After their eyes met, they immediately ran away.
The Wolf-Eared Knight immediately said, "No, there are also pawns of the Fisher family here!"
They moved again, intending to escape from the town of Nasir as quickly as possible and directly into the jungle outside.
However, the two soon stopped in the pouring rain and looked at the man not far away in horror.
Byrne was dressed in black and stood expressionlessly in the pouring rain, while the captain of the guard, Theo, was standing beside him holding an umbrella for him.
He is a powerful man who has reached the second level, Baron Byrne of the Fisher family!
Oops!
The wolf-eared knight's sweat and rain mixed together and he said tremblingly:
"According to the intelligence given by that gentleman, the head of the Fisher family is not good at fighting at all. Let's fight him!"
The brown-haired female spellcaster kept shaking her head, her eyes filled with fear as she advised:
"There is absolutely no way we can defeat him with just the two of us. Let's just surrender. He probably won't kill us. After all, we just killed an ordinary man."
The Wolf-Eared Knight's face was full of struggle and confusion, and he was still frantically thinking about whether to surrender or escape immediately.
He couldn't surrender because his family was deeply tied to the Case family. If he surrendered, the entire family would be implicated.
The Wolf-Eared Knight roared and rushed forward, getting closer and closer to the two.
In the heavy rain, Byrne just stretched out his hand very calmly and snapped his fingers.
"flame."
In an instant, the Wolf-Eared Knight was covered in hellish orange-yellow flames. The immense pain penetrated his soul, and he could not help but roll around in the rain in agony.
“Aaaaaaah!”
Fortunately, there was a lot of water on the street due to the heavy rain, and the flames on his body were put out in a short time.
Byrne didn't look at him, but just stared ahead expressionlessly. Although there was no need to chant any spells to perform fire manipulation, he still decided to say the word "fire" in front of everyone.
Over time, many people would think that he had to cast a spell to release the fire, and perhaps use spells such as silencing to counter him.
At that time, the other party will be surprised to find that he can release the raging fire without even chanting any spell.
"I, I surrender!"
Seeing this scene, the female spellcaster knelt on the ground in fear, not daring to resist at all. Soon many guards of the Fisher family surrounded her.
The wolf-eared knight with burns all over his body was unable to resist, and the female spellcaster also surrendered. The family guards were originally afraid of the extraordinary people, but they gritted their teeth and went up to capture the two and tied them up.
Captain Tio immediately asked, "Baron, how should we deal with them?"
Byrne was thinking, but before he could say anything, Vanessa came up to him holding an umbrella for Irene.
Irene's eyes were extremely cold, and she said:
"First, interrogate them strictly to get important information, then tie them up in the center of Nasir Town and let the townspeople of Nasir watch and punish them."
Byrne did not object, but simply asked, "What is the purpose of doing this?"
He felt that Irene was not the type to vent her emotions wantonly.
Irene explained, "This way, the townspeople will be more grateful to us, and on the other hand, we can also publicly humiliate the mastermind behind those two people."
As for who was the mastermind behind the scenes, the female spellcaster quickly confessed.
Not surprisingly, it was the Case family.
The purpose is also very simple and clear, which is to intimidate and warn, hoping that the Fisher family will "voluntarily" give up control of the territory of Urd Village.
The murderer behind the scenes has been found out and all the evidence is available. The question is what to do next?
Because the victim was just an ordinary person, in the eyes of both the church and the East Coast Governor, it was completely insignificant and not something that needed to be taken seriously.
It is impossible for them to punish a supernatural lord for such a small matter, because there is still an essential difference in social status between supernatural people and ordinary people.
Therefore, whether there was any evidence that instructed the two men to come and kill the elderly worker is essentially unimportant.
If the Fisher family wants to fight back, they must find a way themselves.
