However, by doing so, it was as if the pretense had been completely torn away.
After all, if the baron's son died, it would be a serious matter.
At the moment when the atmosphere reached its peak of tension,
Cao Xing inadvertently glanced at the young man's attributes.
[Son of Baron August: Fitz Walker]
[Belonging Force: Ice Crystal Kingdom]
[Level: 21 (third-tier Ordinary Creature)]
[Life Value: 15339/15339]
[Attack Power: 736~778]

(Character Introduction: Fitz Walker, as the third son of the baron, was often ridiculed by his siblings due to his poor aptitude, which contributed to his dark personality from a young age.
During his growth, Fitz Walker used various means to cause his brothers to die one after another, thus becoming the sole baron heir.)
Although this guy's personal introduction was brief, it highlighted his ruthless methods.
However, what caught Cao Xing's attention more was this person's name.
Cao Xing had a feeling that this name seemed familiar.
Just then, it seemed he suddenly remembered something, a look of realization appearing in his eyes.
Cao Xing looked at the young man with brown hair, a faint smile playing at his lips.
Being watched by Cao Xing's smile, the baron's son felt a peculiar sensation.
He frowned and asked: "What are you looking at?"
Cao Xing smiled and shook his head, "Nothing much, I think we might need to have a private conversation..."
Before he could say more, the Knight Captain at his side reprimanded: "How dare you!"
"What status do you have that you think you can converse alone with the baron's son?"
At this moment, Cao Xing took something out from his backpack.
He exposed a corner of it, giving him a quick look.
Upon glimpsing what was in Cao Xing's hand, the baron's son's pupils constricted sharply!
He immediately turned to the Knight Captain beside him and angrily snapped: "Shut up!"
Then, he directed his gaze to Cao Xing, sizing him up.
After a moment, he slowly said: "What do you want to talk about?"
Cao Xing smiled, "It's inconvenient to talk here. How about we go to the tavern to discuss?"
The baron's son pondered for a moment, then nodded.
Behind him, the Knight Captain tried to dissuade him: "Young Master... you mustn't go in there..."
"In there, it is the territory of these Otherworldly Lords. What might happen, we cannot predict..."
But the baron's son merely gave him a cold glance and questioned: "Do I need your consent to do things?"
The Knight Captain seemed to have a realization of some sort.
Instantly, he became as quiet as a mouse, not daring to say another word.
After a moment, the baron's son continued: "Stay here quietly. No one is to make any unnecessary moves."
"And do not do anything disrespectful towards this Otherworldly Lord's subordinates."
"Or else, when I return, the punishment will be severe. Do you understand?"
Hearing his stern tone,
everyone present was utterly confused.
They seemed not to know what had suddenly happened, why the attitude of this proud baron's son had changed so drastically?
In their bewilderment, the baron's son had already dismounted his horse and come to Cao Xing's side.
"My lord, let us proceed."
Cao Xing smiled, "All right."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Cao Xing led him into the tavern within the territory.
Inside the tavern within the territory.
Cao Xing and the baron's son named Fitz Walker sat face to face at a booth.
After sending Rach away,
only he and this baron's son remained in the tavern.
When no one was there, the look in the baron's son's eyes held undisguised excitement.
He seemed to be confirming something, then in a suppressed voice, he said: "In the light of the Lord's revelation, He brings us redemption, hope..."
Cao Xing nodded, "Light God above!"
When Cao Xing spoke this phrase, the baron's son's eyes gleamed with surprise.
He took out a mask from his backpack, it was the mask of a Black Robed Priest.
Meanwhile, Cao Xing also took out a Red-Clothed Archbishop's mask from his backpack...
