The Game of Demon Hunter

Chapter 37 The Little Earl's Revenge

Butler Antoine's heart was icy cold. It was the little Count Anthony who walked in the door. The blond hair passed down from generation to generation in the Anthony family highlighted the pale complexion of the little count.

"It's time, the glory of the Anthony family has faded for too long!" The little count's voice was cold, just like the heart of Butler Antoine.

Antoine's left hand was pressing the escape button vigorously, but there was no response, drops of cold sweat emerged from his face. A pair of eyes flicked from side to side, from the Shadow Assassin to the little Earl to the gate, calculating the possible reaction time of his guards: "Colin, what do you mean? Are you going to betray the contract? I signed a contract with the Shadow Assassin organization. Agreement! You can't kill me!"

"I don't intend to kill you, I'm a person with professional ethics." The shadow assassin shook the object in his hand: "It's just that I'm an assassin after all, I'm always interested in some weird things, yesterday I saw your chair The device on it is very interesting, so I studied it casually, and I accidentally added an extra part when I put it back, I’m really sorry, I tried my best.”

Throwing the parts on the table casually, the Shadow Assassin bowed like the little count: "My lord, it's your time now, I have done what you ordered before, and those two witchers have no chance to stop it." Your career is over, and everything will go as smoothly as you expected."

"You did a good job. The Shadow Assassin really lives up to its reputation. This is the key to the treasure house of the lord's mansion. Whatever you take, it doesn't matter to me." Little Earl Anthony pulled out a bag from his waist. Throwing the key to Colin the Shadow Assassin, he took out a dagger, cut a wound on his arm expressionlessly, covered a handkerchief with blood, and handed it to the assassin together.

As if it wasn't his own body that was severed, the little count continued on without looking back: "The lock on the door of the treasury will only appear if the blood of the heir is voluntarily donated. It is all yours."

The Shadow Assassin's excited voice trembled: "Thank you for your generosity, my lord. If there is a chance to cooperate in the future, I will give you a huge discount!"

"There won't be that chance! I want all of this to be completely buried in history, and everyone will be reduced to dry bones in pain!" The little count waved his arm, and with a brief incantation, Antoine found He was imprisoned on the chair, as if he was bound by an invisible rope, "Antoine, this table! Everything here is mine! I have been waiting for this day for a long time, if it wasn't for dragging the whole city into Hell, I've already ripped you to pieces!"

"Are you crazy!" Antoine twisted his fat body unwillingly, and shouted loudly, trying to make a loud enough voice to attract the attention of other people in the castle: "The things in the treasure house are your father's savings. A lifetime of wealth! You are handing over to a villain who makes a living by fraud and assassination!"

The little lord sneered at Antoine's words: "Why, do you still want to leave it to you? My Uncle Antoine? I hate you, every nobleman in this city, everyone! They should have been loyal to me Father! My family! My father established this city, if this city is no longer ruled by the Anthony family, let it be completely destroyed by the Anthony family."

Antoine's eyes widened. He realized that eradicating himself was only the first step of the little lord. There were other people helping him, and the whole city was his goal: "Little Anthony! You are really crazy ! That group of Chaos Believers is supported secretly by you, so they can successfully avoid the city guard's search again and again!"

Seeing that the young count's youthful face didn't change at all, Antoine knew that there was no reason to talk to a child full of hatred. God can see it! Antoine felt that he was benevolent enough. Apart from wanting to replace the old earl's title, he did not treat Anthony's family badly in other places!

He doesn't take any money from the wealth of the Anthony family. If he successfully obtains the title of earl and becomes the lord here, he will even let the Anthony family enjoy wealth and honor in this city forever! Just like how he treats the little earl now, no matter what the request is or how much the amount is, he will sign it without changing his face.

Compared to myself, look at the old earl who only knew how to fight all day, he is simply an orc warlord! What else does he know other than militarism? Anthony Dagang can have today, all thanks to himself! Recruiting refugees, pacifying pirates, expanding ports, introducing preferential policies to attract merchants, contacting sources of goods in the New World, and negotiating with various associations on the old road were all facilitated by him!

Without him, there would be no Anthony Dagang today! Why didn't a nobleman stand up and speak for the old earl after his death? Because they all know that this city can live without the old earl, but Antoine cannot live without him! Without him, half of the trade routes would be at a standstill! Without him, the orcs outside the city would have already besieged the city! Without him, the pirates criss-crossing the port would sink half of the passing merchant ships in the sea!

That's why he had the opportunity to become the acting city lord of Anthony's Grand Port, and had the opportunity to replace the title of the Anthony family. Even the knights under the old earl who had the same muscles in their minds received huge compensation and didn't say anything more After a word, obediently go to other places to be a pioneer knight, I am the uncrowned king here!

Antoine, who had hinted at himself countless times in his heart, felt that he had a clear conscience after gaining the acquiescence of the church. Even in front of the little count, he did not feel guilty at all. Although, most of these things are to appease the emotions of other nobles, and they don't want to be too ugly. After all, they can tacitly allow themselves to embezzle rights for the sake of profit, but if they completely cut off the blood of the Anthony family, I am afraid that members of the parliament will come to investigate the reason. , which is one of the reasons why he is afraid of witchers.

"Colin!" Antoine's small eyes rolled rapidly, trying to do everything possible to save his life: "I am your employer, you see, the little friction between us is just a matter of money, trust me! No matter how much wealth is in the treasure house of Anthony's family, I can pay double the price! As long as you rescue me, I will give you as much as you want! I will rot what happened today in my stomach forever! And Did you hear that, those cultists are going to destroy the entire city! Even if they are shadow assassins, they won’t just sit idly by!”

Antoine pinned his last hope on the conscience of the killer in front of him, staring at the shadow assassin's face with wide eyes, trying to persuade him to change his mind with his own words.
