When Hashim saw Anselmo agreed, he looked at Albert and Ford.
Albert looked at Ford. After all, Ryan was Ford's son, so it would be better for him to speak.
Seeing this, Ford smiled bitterly and said.
"Lord Hartz's plan is indeed very good. As for Ryan... sometimes I can't stop him. After all, you all know that Ryan killed the imperial nobles. Sometimes he... doesn't follow the rules."
Hearing this, a trace of solemnity flashed in Hartz's eyes, and he said, "I can communicate with Master Ryan through some means. Duke Ford should persuade Master Ryan."
"As long as Prince Alder is alright, compensation is negotiable."
Ford nodded and said, "I'll do my best."
…
In the secret realm.
Ryan held Alder in his left hand, and the black imitator on his waist turned into a stream of light and flew to Ryan's skeleton hand, transforming into a long sword.
Alder looked at Ryan's livid face and said nothing. As the prince of the Golden Forest, his pride did not allow him to say those words of begging for mercy.
"Alder, weren't you arrogant just now? You even gave Ryan a last ditch effort..."
Ryan stood on the cracked ground, grabbed Alder's neck and lifted him up and said.
Alder sneered, "The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. I, Alder, lost. There's nothing to say."
"Okay, I didn't beg for mercy. I, Ryan, look up to you, Alde."
"In that case, I, Ryan, will give you a quick death."
After saying that, Ryan stabbed Alder's heart with the long black knife in his hand.
"Wait Master Ryan!"
A crisp sound was heard, followed by vines that grabbed Ryan's skeletal hands.
Ryan looked at the vines wrapped around him, snorted coldly, and the fire magic surrounding Ryan instantly burned the vines to ashes.
Then Ryan turned his head and looked at the elf princess Ophelia and said.
"What? Your Highness wants to stop me?"
Ophelia looked at Alder who was held in Ryan's left hand and said anxiously.
"Master Ryan, you can't kill Alder. He's the most outstanding offspring of the Golden Forest Elf King. You can kill him out of spite, but don't you consider the empire?"
Upon hearing this, some concerns appeared in Ryan's tyrannical eyes. As the heir of the imperial duke's family, he really needed to consider the empire.
Then Ryan's eyes turned fierce and he said.
"According to the continental alliance contract, the betrayed have the right to punish the betrayer. Even if Alde is killed, how can the Golden Forest justify this?"
"My father would support me in doing this."
Seeing that Ophelia wanted to say something, Ryan ignored her and spoke.
"Lucifer, keep an eye on them."
"Yes, my love."
Lucifer slowly descended from the sky and landed in front of Ophelia. His terrifying pressure instantly subdued Ophelia and other elves.
Ryan then squinted his eyes and looked at Alder.
The fire magic power gathered in his left hand, as if the wrath of thunder would erupt from his hand in the next moment.
"Die, Al..." Ryan said slowly with his eyes narrowed.
At this moment, a voice came from the sky, causing Ryan to give up the fire magic power condensed in his left hand.
That voice was obviously Ford's voice.
"Wait, Ryan."
