Chapter 255: Chapter 113 “The Lantern Bearer” Vince
Translator: 549690339
The three-headed Demon God’s Phantom behind the blindfolded Vince Lane became clearer and clearer. He ignored the old butler’s words, instead saying, “Young Master Kane, I apologize for meeting you in this manner. I have investigated your deeds… your death is insignificant.”
“However, before that, you have the right to receive a fair trial.”
Then, as though in the midst of a mysterious judgment ritual, he once again pulled out a card, chanting, “My word is justice… Spell-Judgment Day!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, the angelic face of one of the demon gods behind Vince turned to look at him.
It looked at Kane, who was already scared enough to wet himself, and extended an illusory hand.
The old butler wanted to stop it, but found that under the oppressive power of the demon god’s phantom, his spirit was shocked, rendering him unable to move, let alone do anything else.
Everyone watched helplessly as the hand reached into Young Master Kane’s chest, seemed to pluck something out, and placed it back onto a scale.
Looking closely, what had been torn out was actually a soul!
One side of the scale carried a feather, and the other bore Kane’s soul.
The moment the soul was placed on it, the scale immediately tilted to Kane’s side.
Seeing this, Vince Lane’s laid-back demeanor disappeared.
He suddenly became expressionless, acting like a fair and impartial judge, and sternly shouted, “As you can see, you, are deserving of death!”
At his words, the three demon faces behind him suddenly turned into that of a demon, and swung the longsword in its hand, severing something unknowable.
Young Master Kane in the distance kicked out his legs and drew his last breath.
This scene left the onlookers speechless.
From the outset, they were spectators, then shocked, and finally plunged into indescribable terror.
Watching the previously unknown “Demon God’s Phantom” effortlessly kill Young Master Kane, they only then realized that the mysterious blindfolded man before them was a top-level card master.
No one could have imagined that under so many watchful eyes, someone could kill the legitimate young master of the Lionheart Family, Kane, despite heavy protection!
In terms of status, this Young Master Kane was a noble of higher rank than Lord Stan Miller.
Now that he was dead, this was a big deal!
The old butler and the Fierce Beast Legion guards had faces as grey as death.
Their young master was killed before their eyes, and they felt as if the sky had collapsed.
Even though they knew the enemy was powerful, they had to fight.
The old butler’s face hardened, and he was the first to surge out, shouting, “Attack!”
As his voice fell, gathering fireworks exploded in the sky.
At a distance, the Knight Group that was originally chasing the “assassin” saw the fireworks and immediately realized a great mishap had occurred.
They disregarded the pursuit and converged rapidly towards the direction of the fireworks.
Meanwhile, during his frantic escape, Leonard Churchill happened to see the gathering fireworks explode in the darkness behind him.
He didn’t know what had happened.
But he knew that several Third Tiers were chasing him and that a large force was closing in from all sides.
Fortunately, he had already predicted that this chase would carry great risks and had prepared several plans.
His original plan was to flee to the edge of a broken cliff deep in the ruins.
If the Fierce Beast Legion’s experts relentlessly chased after him, they might still catch up.
During this chase, Leonard Churchill never hoped that he would definitely escape.
However, he never expected that in the middle of the pursuit, the pursuers behind him would pull out!
Leonard Churchill found it hard to believe.
At first, he thought it was a diversion tactic by the enemy.
But after running a bit further, he realized there were actually no pursuers left.
Looking at the gathering fireworks in the distance, he suddenly realized that something major might have happened.
“The ones chasing me have abandoned the chase to provide reinforcement instead… Could it be that someone is trying to assassinate Young Master Kane?”
A thought struck Leonard Churchill, and the corner of his eye twitched.
His killing of Kane was spontaneous.
With the current situation, it seemed as if there was another party deliberately waiting to kill him.
Furthermore, the location of the fireworks seemed to be outside the camp.
In other words… did someone intentionally wait for Kane to leave the camp before they acted?
“Looking at it this way, it seems my trouble isn’t that big anymore…”
A series of thoughts ran through Leonard Churchill’s mind and he found himself smirking..
