Kelin, whose temples had begun to gray, glared at him, "No way!"
He wanted to take the opportunity while Blanwen was injured to quickly get the Seal! Not to kill him!
The people around Blanwen were all protecting him, and now was the perfect time to seize the Seal!
The key issue was Blanwen’s ruthless methods over the years, which had scared him to cowardice.
The Seal was the symbol of the Reed family’s leader; whoever held it controlled the family!
Years ago, that kid Blanwen snatched the Seal from his father to become the new Family Head, didn’t he?
If he could do it, why couldn’t I?
"Second Master, think carefully. If you don’t kill him and you manage to find the Seal, once he wakes up, do you think he won’t take it back?"
"Besides, Blanwen has already uncovered all those things you did in secret. Once he wakes and retrieves the Seal, it’ll be time for reckoning."
"If Blanwen doesn’t die, you... you will have to die."
Kelin shivered, glaring at the person beside him, "No... are you doing this on purpose? You just want me to kill Blanwen!"
In his heart, he was terrified, "Whose side are you on?"
The beastman next to Kelin chuckled softly, "I’m on your side."
"We... are all in the same boat, aren’t we, Second Master?"
Kelin stepped back, "Who, who is in the same boat as you!"
"Second Master, you were involved in today’s matters too. You participated in poisoning Blanwen," he said with a smile. "If Blanwen doesn’t die, he’ll eventually know about the poisoning and your smuggling!"
"By then, given Blanwen’s ruthless nature, even if he spares your life, you... will be doomed to spend the rest of your days in the Undersea Prison!"
Kelin’s face turned pale, his fingers trembling as he pointed, "It’s you! You instigated me! From poisoning Blanwen to seizing the position of the Family Head, and even the smuggling... it was all you..."
The man brushed Kelin’s hand away, "Don’t put it so harshly. Wasn’t it a willing exchange? Don’t you envy Blanwen and want him dead?"
Kelin seemed to be hit at a sore spot, clenching his fists tightly.
The thought of that kid, nearly twenty years his junior, assuming the role of the Family Head made him jealous!
In his heart, he had always harbored a hidden hope for Blanwen’s death.
As long as Blanwen lived, he was a mountain weighing down on him!
"So? There’s a golden opportunity right in front of you, don’t you want it?"
"We’ve already arranged everything, once you go in and kill Blanwen, you’ll be the next Family Head!" He pressed forward with every step, "There’s not much time left."
With steeled resolve, Kelin said, "Alright!" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ noveⅼfire.net
Blanwen, don’t blame me! It’s because you stand out too much; the tallest trees catch the wind!
The beastman standing next to him let out a cold laugh.
Outside Blanwen’s ward, bodyguards stood densely, guarding it.
His ward was like a fortress; without the code, even a regular shell couldn’t breach it!
Suddenly, Kelin burst in, stumbling and covered in injuries, with his shoulder wounded.
"Quick! Someone has broken into the house! Go take a look! Someone’s definitely targeting Master Qi!"
Indeed, sounds of a fight came from outside.
Half of the bodyguards immediately went to intercept...
"I—I need bandages, let me in to see Master Qi! Get me a doctor!" Kelin pleaded, his face pale.
He didn’t expect the other party to be this ruthless; for him to sneak in, he ended up this injured!
"No way!" The head bodyguard stopped Kelin anxiously, "You can’t go in to see Master Qi here!"
Kelin smirked inwardly; it seemed true that Blanwen was poisoned and comatose! Otherwise, why would they be this anxious?!
"I’m bleeding so much, if untreated, I’m going to die! I’m your Seventh Master’s brother! If I die, how will you explain it?"
"The people outside are all coming for Master Qi! If not for Master Qi, would I have gotten injured? Quickly, let me in! If they break in, I’m dead!"
Kelin kept speaking, watching as the head bodyguard wavered, he added quickly, "How about this, one of you enter with me, that way you won’t have to worry about me, a seriously injured man, harming Master Qi?"
He emphasized the words "seriously injured"...
"Then... alright." The head bodyguard hesitated, "I’ll take Second Master in to bandage the wound, you guard well outside, don’t let anyone in!"
He unlocked the code, allowing Kelin inside.
A flicker of unusual excitement passed through Kelin’s eyes as he quickly went inside! Seeing Blanwen unconscious on the hospital bed filled him with joy and excitement!
Indeed, he was already comatose!
Kelin held his wound, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, "Hurry, bandage me up!"
It truly hurt, the injury was quite severe! He’d never been this badly hurt in his life! If it wasn’t to sneak in, would this have happened?! Damn it, Blanwen!
"Yes, Second Master..." The bodyguard took out a medicine box from the side, extracting a bandage, "Second Master, let me bandage you."
"Hurry, hurry!" Kelin urged.
As the bodyguard approached to bandage him, midway through, he suddenly felt a faint pricking sensation in his back!
The bodyguard’s eyes widened, "Second Master... you!"
He clutched his head, a wave of dizziness overcame him, and he collapsed to the ground with a "thud".
Kelin laughed triumphantly.
The bitter plan he executed wasn’t wasted!
Kelin stood up proudly, accidentally pulling his wound.
Grimacing and clutching his injury, he looked at the unconscious bodyguard on the ground and muttered grumpily, "Had I known, I would have let him finish bandaging before making a move!"
Once he seized the position of Family Head, he intended to settle accounts with the person who duped him!
Kelin looked at Blanwen lying in the bed and sneered, "Oh Master Qi, who would have thought you’d end up ?"
"Rest assured, for being my cousin, I’ll make it quick for you!"
Kelin approached him, swallowing nervously.
He feared Blanwen waking suddenly, so he prodded him. Seeing Blanwen unresponsive, no matter how he shook him, reassured him instantly.
"Master Qi, don’t blame me! If anyone’s to blame, it’s yourself! I’m your brother, yet you constantly overshadow me, scolding whatever I do!"
"If not for you, would I have dared to mess with things I shouldn’t have?"
Kelin straightened his back, placing his hands on Blanwen’s neck, incrementally applying pressure...
And just at that moment, a gun was thrust against Kelin’s chest.
Kelin froze, eyes widening, looking down at the muzzle, then looking up to meet a pair of cold eyes.
He stiffened, "You... Master Qi, you, you’re awake?"
