Chaos in Oga City (III) (Eighth Update)

Patur had suffered repeated losses at Andres's hands and had long wanted to find an opportunity for revenge.

Knowing he was no match for Andres, he decided to target Andres's family instead.

However, he had reservations about the Mitchell Family being part of the Goblin Merchant Guild.

Gallo's eyes lit up when he heard his father's words. He, too, longed to Revenge on Andres.

Gleb smiled slightly and said, "Andres is a guest elder of the Goblin Merchant Guild. Strictly speaking, he is not a member of the Goblin Merchant Guild. As for his family, they are even less so. Dealing with them is of course no problem."

"Haha, Brother Gleb, I'm relieved to hear you say that," Patur laughed.

Gleb did not stay long before Patur arranged accommodations for him and sent him to rest.

After Gleb left, Gallo excitedly said, "Father, I'll send someone to the Goblin Merchant Guild right away to capture the Mitchell Family!"

He had wanted to deal with Alex for a long time, but he couldn't do so before because Andres was Saint Domain.

Now that they've broken ties with Yasen City and sided with the Beastmen, they naturally have nothing more to worry about.

"There are Level Nine Expert in the Goblin Merchant Guild. You can't go there to capture people; I'll have to go myself," Patur said. "You gather a team of men and come with me."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

Just as Gallo was about to leave, a waiter came in to report.

"Lord Patur, Prince Gallo, Mars of the Demian Family requests an audience."

"Mars? Inori's older brother? What's he doing here?" Gallo frowned.

Ever since he learned that Inori had designs on the throne, he had no fondness for Inori.

And naturally, the Demian Family, to which Inori belonged, was also on his blacklist.

However, he has been too busy these past two days, and the Demian Family has been keeping a low profile, so he hasn't had time to deal with it yet.

"Let him in," Patur said.

"Yes."

The waiter bowed and withdrew.

Soon, Mars, dressed in white, entered the hall.

As soon as he entered, he knelt down and kowtowed, performing a grand ceremony.

"Greetings, Lord Patur and Prince Gallo."

"Mars, I haven't even bothered your Demian Family yet, and you've come to see me first. Tell me, what brings you here?" Patur said with a faint smile, also somewhat curious about Mars's purpose.

Mars didn't even raise his head, and respectfully said, "I've come to swear allegiance to Lord Patur and Prince Gallo."

"Oh?" Patur raised an eyebrow. "Your sister Inori covets the throne, yet you want to swear allegiance to me? Interesting."

Mars said, "My sister doesn't represent the Demian Family."

"Really? She was supposed to be the next Duke Demian's successor, yet she doesn't represent the Demian Family?" Gallo mocked.

Mars's face revealed undisguised hatred. "She's not. I am the rightful heir to the Demian Family. She was stolen from me!"

Gallo's expression froze.

Patur was also somewhat surprised and looked Mars up and down a couple more times.

Mars continued, "I knew long ago that she would lead the Demian Family astray. Please, Your Excellencies, understand that Inori has no relation to the Demian Family anymore. Now, I am the sole heir of the Demian Family."

Gallo gave a cold laugh and said, "You're saying this because you saw the fate of the Balzan Family and are trying to save your own family, aren't you? Do you think we'd be so easily fooled?"

"Absolutely not," Mars said firmly. "I have brought all of Inori's most trusted guards and handed them over to you two to deal with."

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand behind him.

A group of guards escorted several people who were tightly bound by iron chains into the room.

The people who were tied up were Gerant, Pat, and other members of the Inori Guard.

Seeing this, Gallo wavered somewhat, but Patur only glanced at him and said indifferently, "Sacrificing a pawn to save the king is a common tactic used by powerful families, and it doesn't prove anything."

Mars seemed to have known all along that Patur wouldn't believe him so easily, and continued, "Back then, during the Battle of Black Mountain City, Inori was assassinated by a Dark Elf Assassin. Afterwards, everyone thought it was an assassin hired by Beastmen, but that wasn't the case. I was the one who hired the assassin to kill Inori!"

Upon hearing this, Gallo's eyes widened, and even Patur's expression changed slightly.

Mars said, "I have wanted Inori dead for a long time, but I never had the chance. This time, she coveted the throne and offended the two lords, almost plunging the Demian Family into utter ruin. Today, the Demian Family has decided to expel Inori from the family, and the Demian Family will swear to be loyal to the two lords to the death."

Gallo was somewhat persuaded by Mars, especially since he saw in Mars a similar experience to his own—both had had their successor positions taken away by Inori.

But he knew he wasn't in charge here, so he couldn't help but look at his father.

Patur gave Mars a deep look, thought for a moment, and said, "We are planning to go to the Goblin Merchant Guild to capture the Mitchell Family. Since you say you are loyal, then bring your men and come with us."

"This is an honor for the Demian Family!" Mars quickly kowtowed.

"Gallo, go and make the arrangements. Let me know when it's time to leave." Patur glanced at the sky; the night was growing deeper.

"Yes."

Gallo led Mars away from the main hall.

Night had fallen. Oga City, at the Goblin Merchant Guild.

Arnold is still awake.

"Why haven't the Human Saint Realm arrived yet?" He had been paying close attention to the situation in Oga City, and so far, there was still no news of the Human Saint Realm arriving, which made him wonder.

The average speed of Saint Realm expert is over a thousand miles per hour.

The Oga City is less than three thousand miles from the western coast of the Noah Continent, and the sea between the two continents is more than a thousand miles away. Yasen City is located at the easternmost edge of the Sacred Tree Continent, and is only a few thousand miles away from Oga City.

At the speed of Saint Realm expert, they can arrive in a few hours.

And yesterday, Arnold had already sent the news back to Yasen City.

Logically, reinforcements from Yasen City should have arrived long ago.

"Unless, this upheaval is far greater than we imagined." Arnold's mood grew heavy.

Just then, a cry of an eagle came from the sky. Arnold looked up and saw Gaston's magical beast, the Gale Eagle.

"Why is Gale Eagle back? Did it discover something?"

In order to find out what was happening in Oga City, Gaston had his Gale Eagle circle high above the Oga City to Oga City for any unusual activity.

Although the Gale Eagle cannot speak human language, it is Gaston's magical beast and can communicate with Gaston through their souls.

When Gale Eagle returned, Arnold guessed that Gale Eagle had probably discovered something.

Not long after, Gaston rushed over and, upon seeing Arnold, said, "Arnold, Gale Eagle has seen the army from Oga City heading this way, most likely towards the Mitchell Family!"
