After a thousand years of weathering, in a study filled with the antique charm of antiquity, Aide Medici was stunned by a sudden piece of news, almost unable to believe his ears.
"What? Saerfu is dead?"
"Yes, Lord Star Lord, not only young master Saerfu, but also all the core members of Elder Maisili's lineage have perished, their deaths all identical."
A middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of the Dynasty of Stars's ' Star Guards ' reported with his head bowed.
As the direct line of the dynasty's Fate Master, the Star Guards are extremely powerful, far surpassing most large Fate Master Sect.
However, due to the vast territory of the Dynasty of Stars, the Star Guards' strength was greatly reduced after they were dispersed, and they could only serve as a surveillance force, transmitting enemy intelligence to the central government of the dynasty.
However, judging from the Star Guards's respectful attitude towards Aide Medici, he has clearly been completely subdued by the latter, losing his supervisory function and instead becoming a member of the Medici Family, even providing central intelligence to local forces. This is a reversal of the Heavenly Gang's authority.
This also shows that Aide Medici's abilities were not bad; it's just that the opponents he faced were somewhat beyond his capabilities.
Who could it be?
Aide stood up, his gaze solemn, yet devoid of much hatred, as if the dead were insignificant people.
Ultimately, for Aide, who received a traditional aristocratic education from a young age, illegitimate children were not valued by him at all. In the eyes of the old aristocracy, only legitimate sons were worthy of inheriting their bloodline and will.
Only when all legitimate sons are dead, or when a son has a serious defect, will an illegitimate son come into view.
Saerfu, the illegitimate son, was undoubtedly lucky because his elder Luoni Medici was mentally challenged, which gave him the opportunity to inherit the position of patriarch.
But he was also unfortunate. At the crucial moment, Lancelot, an extraterrestrial, arrived, shattering all his delusions, and he quietly ended his short life in resentment and terror.
"According to our investigation, the attacker used the ' Fang of Nightmare ' Fate Art from the Radiant Echo Cult," the Star Guards said, bowing his head.
"Radiant Echo?"
Aide's eyes widened suddenly, a wave of panic washing over him. He instinctively retorted, "You must be mistaken. How could Radiant Echo attack the Medici Family? Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"Nothing is impossible, Father. Saerfu and the others simply paid the price for what they did."
Lancelot suddenly walked in, his expression indifferent, his brows revealing a strength beyond his years.
"Luoni? What brings you here? And what do you mean by that?" Aide's expression changed slightly, and he questioned him seriously.
Lancelot found a seat and sat down. Kuliya followed closely behind him, expressionless, like an old servant. Upon seeing this, Aide and the Star Guards beside him both narrowed their eyes slightly, and many speculations arose in their minds.
"If Father wants to know the answer, then call Mother over first. Then I will explain everything clearly."
Aide didn't speak, but after giving his son, who had regained his wisdom, a deep look, he waved his hand, and the Star Guards withdrew. A moment later, Medusa rushed in from outside.
As you can see, compared to Aide's complicated expression, Medusa's eyes undoubtedly held joy. With Saerfu dead, there was no one left to compete with her son for the position of heir.
What's even better is that she didn't do it, so even if Aide is angry, he can't blame her.
Aide glanced at his smug wife, his face darkening slightly. He then looked at his son, Luoni, who sat there with his arms crossed, Earth Dao, "Now, can you tell me what you know?"
"Certainly."
Lancelot nodded slightly, then stood up, looked around, and said directly, "The people of Saerfu and Maisili's lineage were all killed by the Radiant Echo Cult, and the reason they acted was because they were authorized by me."
"What?!"
The moment Aide and his wife heard Lancelot's words, they were both startled, their gazes instantly focusing on the familiar yet unfamiliar young face.
After a long silence, Aide said in a deep voice, "Why would the Radiant Echo Cult listen to you?"
He didn't ask Lancelot why he killed Saerfu and the Maisili family members; the reason was obvious: revenge was perfectly justifiable.
Aide was even quite satisfied with his son's decisive and ruthless actions.
The problem is that it was the Radiant Echo Cult that made the move, which is very unusual.
Looking at Kuliya's attitude towards Lancelot, Aide sensed something was wrong, as did Medusa. After her husband finished asking the question, her eyes were fixed on her precious son.
"It's just a promise of some benefits, such as relinquishing some cultivation resources and promising not to pursue certain responsibilities of the Radiant Echo Cult," Lancelot replied pointedly, without revealing the contents of the contract he had signed. Otherwise, Medusa might have been furious, and Aide Medici might have died of anger on the spot.
"Did Radiant Echo confront you? And take the initiative to ease tensions?" Aide asked thoughtfully after hearing Lancelot's words.
Lancelot smiled, neither nodding nor denying, which was tantamount to tacit agreement.
Seeing this, Aide didn't press the matter further, but the way he looked at Lancelot changed considerably.
Half an hour later, the conversation ended, and Lancelot, having 'explained' the cause of Saerfu's death, left the study.
Inside the room, Aide's expression shifted as he said to his wife, "Do you really think we nobles can escape the control of the Fate Master Sect?"
Medusa fell silent, a rare occurrence. After a long while, she sighed softly, "Let's take it one step at a time. Without force, all talk is just empty words."
"Kuliya, why do you think the Medici Family only has one direct descendant, and that descendant is an idiot?"
On the gravel path, Lancelot suddenly spoke up and asked.
Kuliya paused, then his expression shifted, and he said, "Luck, I guess."
"Hehe..."
Lancelot smiled and didn't say anything more about the matter. He shifted his attention to the All-Region Map in his mind, and his eyes slowly lit up.
"Now, it's time for the Slaughter! Participants of Light Arrow Star, are you ready?!"
After the initial adjustment period, Lancelot had come to understand the two inevitable stages of the Fate War.
In the Tier One, which is the current phase, the participants are not divided into factions, but fight each other to obtain Fate Gold Coin and restore their strength as soon as possible.
In the Tier Two, the participants, having regained their strength, began to band together, and the two major factions officially clashed, striving to complete the "ultimate mission."
If an advantage can be established as quickly as possible in the Tier One, it will definitely be very beneficial in the Tier Two.
Therefore, in the current Star God Realm, the participants are trying every means to obtain Fate Gold Coin, and their various actions have dazzled the Astral Realm audience.
Although Lancelot started a little late, he found a very suitable assistant.
With Kuliya by his side, Lancelot left the Medici Family and embarked on his hunting adventure.
The participants from Light Arrow Star were unaware that a man with Legendary combat power was approaching them, sharpening his sword and wielding All-Region Map.
