Chapter 517 The Two-Man Team Preparing to Fish in Troubled Waters Two hours had passed since the Peyton family was wiped out. After distributing all the treasures and resources within the Peyton family, Renn led the three major knight orders away from the Peyton family.
Only a mess was left on the site where the Payton family had been.
The faint, indelible bloodstains on the ground and the broken stone bricks scattered everywhere reveal what the Peyton family went through under the impact of the Knights.
All the nobles in the East District watched in trepidation as the three great knightly orders of the Grey family marched into the streets.
They were afraid that the Knights would be the next to visit them.
Fortunately, the Knights did not linger in the East District for long, but headed straight for the South Gate.
After the knights left the royal city, the spies employed by the noble families came to report, which finally put the weight off the hearts of these nobles.
The still-shaken nobles turned their attention to the location of the Peyton family.
They felt a chill run down their spines at the sight of the Payton family's dilapidated state.
The nobles gathered in groups to discuss countermeasures.
Otherwise, if Renn's knife falls on their heads again, they will end up like the Peyton family.
A century-old family was destroyed in an instant.
...
Inside the palace, Albert marveled at the ten large boxes of treasures that Adrian had just delivered.
"Raine asked you to deliver this?" Albert looked at Adrian with one eye bigger than the other.
It was as if they suspected that Ryan was up to no good, like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken.
Adrian bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, it was Young Master Renn who instructed me to bring the treasure to you."
Albert asked, "Didn't that kid Ryan say anything else?"
“He said that without Your Majesty’s order to maintain order in the capital, he could not have done so smoothly, so this is his way of showing his respect to you.”
Albert smiled in amazement upon hearing this: "When did this kid learn that trick too?"
"Alright, I understand. You can go now."
“Go back and tell Renn that he just wants me to take the brunt of the pressure from those nobles. He puts it so nicely.”
Adrian bowed again: "Yes, Adrian takes his leave."
After Adrian left, Albert gently raised his hand towards the ten large boxes.
All the boxes opened instantly, revealing the treasures inside.
Albert reached out and grabbed an ancient scroll from one of the boxes, which flew into his hand.
“The Peyton family land deed!?” Albert raised an eyebrow.
"This kid is quite generous," Albert said with a smile.
After making a rough estimate of the treasures in these boxes, Albert was slightly surprised by the wealth.
"Someone come here," Albert said.
As soon as he finished speaking, two guards entered the palace and knelt down to pay their respects.
"His Majesty!"
“Take these ten large chests away and fill my treasury.”
"yes!"
"Oh, by the way, don't see anyone who comes to the palace today. If anyone does come, just say I'm sick and recuperating, understand?"
"yes!"
...
The nobles of the royal city quickly formed the 'Anti-Grey Alliance', and the alliance sent two representatives to the palace, hoping that Albert would reprimand the Grey family for their behavior.
Representatives Furni Collins and Hans Diaz arrived at the palace gates, wanting to meet Albert.
"I apologize, Earl Furni and Earl Hans, but His Majesty has been unwell recently and has ordered that no one be seen for the time being. Please return home."
The two guards standing at the palace gate bowed and shook their heads at Hans and his companion.
The two chosen by the alliance are naturally not as mediocre as Julian Payton, the head of the Payton family, who is not very intelligent.
Upon hearing the guard's words, the two men looked at each other and shook their heads.
