Episode 6: The Road to Revenge Chapter 10: Capture
The halls of the Debs family land were clamoring.
“This, this ……”
Many nobles were shocked as they looked at Alice. The reason they were able to instantly recognize that Alice was the heroine of the stone sculpture ‘Waking Dream’. It could only be blamed on the fact that Linley’s carving skills were too high.
Linley had already surpassed the ‘skill’ stage. Through the stone carving, he had completely brought out a woman’s charisma and charisma, and when these nobles saw Alice for the first time, their hearts were 100% confirmed that the woman in front of them was the goddess of their dreams.
Many nobles looked at Alice. And then they turned their heads to look at Linley.
Silence! Very suddenly, the entire hall fell into absolute silence, almost all of the nobles had guessed something, and they understood that it wasn’t good to say it now.
But that silence. But it caused Alice to panic in her heart awkwardly.
Alice glanced at Linley out of the corner of her eye. Linley, who was standing next to His Majesty King Clyde. He was still so calm. Just calmly looking at her.
For Linley.
Alice’s heart was also very complicated. There was remorse, and there was also resentment. Resentment that Linley’s stone sculpture had caused her to fail to become a proper Qin. She was even in an awkward situation, but this same stone sculpture. It also made her realize Linley’s feelings for her.
Karan also felt a little embarrassed.
“Gentlemen, let me introduce you.”
Bernard’s voice rang out, Bernard still had a smile on his face, “My son, Karan, is holding an engagement ceremony with Ms. Lorraine and Ms. Alice today.”
Said Bernard as he walked over to Karan. Then pointing at Rolene, he said, “This is Miss Rolene, my son Karan Di Zheng Qin, and this, Miss Alice.”
At once the entire hall resounded with the sound of suppressed discussions. From time to time, these people also turned their gazes towards Linley.
“All of you. You may take your seats.”
Bernard said smilingly.
The entire hall of nobles and tycoons took their seats in turn. At the banquet, some members of the Debus family land were still very enthusiastic. It was just that quite a few of the nobles often looked at Alice, and from time to time, at Linley.
With his wine glass in hand, Linley walked to the nooks and crannies of the hall floor and casually sat on a sofa.
“Boss, I’ve heard a lot of people talking about you.”
Bebe jumped onto Linley’s lap.
Linley gently sipped the wine in his cup, “Let them talk about it, I’m fine, just …… Alice, I’m afraid I don’t feel good in my heart.”
Now treating Alice. Linley was already calm.
He now also understood that his own stone sculpture ‘dream awakening’ had indeed brought a great deal of influence to Alice.
Sitting in a nook, Linley quietly watched as the three of them, Karan, Alice, and Luo Lin, circled the guests. A man poured himself a drink.
“Lord Linley, why are you here drinking mulled wine?” A long-haired turquoise beauty with very fair skin walked over and naturally made her way to the side of Linley’s land, while also stretching out the wine cup in her hand.
Linley clinked glasses with her as well.
“My name is Sasha. I wanted to talk to Lord Linley before the banquet. But Lord Linley seems to be very popular with the girls. I didn’t even have the slightest chance.”
Sasha said with a smile.
Linley looked at Sasha.
Sasha was tall and had a touching plumpness even as she talked and laughed. There was also a touch of heartwarming charm between those eyebrows. This kind of woman had a more feminine flavor than those noble ladies.
“A girl? Could it be that you’re not a girl, Sasha?” Linley inquired with interest.
Sasha gently drank a bit of red wine before saying with a smile, “A girl? I’ve been married for eight years now, and I’m still a girl?” Linley couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
“However. My man was on his wedding day. Died.”
Sasha gave Linley a wink and said softly.
“Uh…….”
Linley looked at Sasha in surprise.
Sasha couldn’t help but laugh chirpily when she saw Linley’s reaction, then sipped the red wine in her glass again. Smiling, she looked towards Linley, “Lord Linley. You’re really, really cute.”
Linley couldn’t help but laugh.
This Sasha, she was really ticklish enough.
“Sasha. What are you doing here?” Duke Patterson walked over with a smile.
Sasha glanced back at Patterson. Pretending to be angry, she said, “Lord Duke, I just chatted with Linley for a while. And here you are, eh. You guys chat.”
Sasha said and threw a wink at Linley. And then she left to go.
Duke Patterson looked at Sasha’s back for a moment. Only then did he make it next to Linley.
“Linley, how does it feel?” Duke Patterson said to Linley.
“How about what?” “Sasha.”
Duke Patterson gave Linley a wink, “Linley. Sasha is a beautiful woman who is sought after by many in the aristocratic circle, look at Sasha’s body, her eyes, and her little mouth. Oh……”
Linley could only smile.
“I can tell you that Sasha should be very interested in you oh. Seize the opportunity and you’ll be able to get her into your hands.”
Patterson tapped Linley on the shoulder and whispered.
Linley glanced at Patterson, “Not interested.”
Patterson gave Linley a surprised look.
“Linley.”
Patterson suddenly lowered his voice and said to Linley. “After the banquet tonight, you shouldn’t be in a hurry to leave. I have something to talk to you about.”
Linley was stunned.
Why so mysterious? “Wouldn’t not give me face.”
Patterson pretended to be angry.
Linley glanced at Patterson and said in his heart, “I’d like to see what you’re up to.”
Linley was still really worried about finding a chance to get close to Padeson.
“Please rest assured, Lord Duke. I’ll wait a little longer tonight.”
Linley replied with a smile.
By the time it was past eight o’clock in the evening, many of the nobles had begun to leave. And Linley wasn’t in a hurry to leave. Because he still remembered the agreement that Patterson had made with him.
“I’d like to see what you’re up to.”
Linley stayed quietly in the hall.
“Linley. I’ll leave first.”
Clyde said to Linley and left, and the entire hall was becoming less and less crowded. When Linley, who was a little anxious, then walked out of the hall, blowing the night’s frightening wind outside the corridor.
And it was at this time. A male attendant quietly walked over.
“Lord Linley. Lord Duke has asked you to come over.”
The male attendant said quietly.
“So mysterious?” Linley was surprised in his heart.
“Lead the way in front.”
Linley was still calm on the surface. And Bebe had been curled up in Linley’s arms. This male attendant led Linley into a very narrow and gloomy path, and just by looking at the traces on this path alone. It was clear that very few people walked along it.
“Where to?” Linley said in a low voice.
This male attendant respectfully said, “Lord Linley. It was Lord Duke who ordered this. Don’t let anyone else see Lord Linley.”
“Oh?” Linley’s brows furrowed. However, Linley didn’t flinch, but continued to follow this attendant onwards, and the two of them passed through a narrow ground path one after the other, while also weaving through a small forest. Opened a secret door. Only then did they arrive at a small building.
“This Debus family. There’s such a hidden place.”
Linley said in his heart.
Unless someone else could fly, it was really a bit difficult to find this small, hidden building.
The male attendant led Linley directly towards the living room of the small building.
“Lord Duke. Lord Linley is here.”
The male attendant stood at the entrance to the living room and said respectfully.
“Haha. Linley is here?” Dressed in black robes, Patterson walked out from the inner room of the parlor. Patterson’s eagle eyes let out a light of surprise when he saw Linley. He hurriedly walked over. “Linley. Come in quickly.”
The male attendant on the ground next to him immediately said respectfully, “Lord Duke, I’ll be excusing myself then.”
“You retire.”
Patterson said casually.
The male attendant respectfully turned his head and was about to leave. However, the originally smiling Patterson abruptly stabbed out his right hand at great speed, and Patterson’s right hand was like a sharp knife that ruthlessly plunged into the male attendant’s left chest cavity position from the back.
“Ah!” The male waiter turned his head with difficulty. Unbelievably, he looked at Duke Patterson. He couldn’t understand why Lord Duke Patterson, who was so high and mighty, wanted to kill him! Unfortunately, his eyes completely darkened in just a split second after his heart completely ruptured.
“Lord Duke, what are you doing?” On the side, Linley was still calm.
Duke Patterson was a rank seven warrior. It was indeed very simple to kill an ordinary attendant who only had the strength of a rank two warrior.
Duke Patterson took out a handkerchief from his pocket. He wiped the blood from his hand. And then casually threw it on the ground.
“Linley. It’s nothing, I just don’t want anyone to know. The matter of your meeting with me.”
Duke Patterson said with a smirk.
Linley looked at Duke Patterson in confusion, “Not letting anyone know?” Duke Patterson nodded confidently, “Don’t worry, this secret place is something I had Bernard arrange. Bernard only knows that I want to use this place. But he doesn’t know who I’m going to meet, as for the only attendant who knew that you and I were meeting, he is also dead. So. No one knows about my meeting with you.”
Linley’s heart was certain. Then he stepped inside the parlor.
“Duke Patterson. This matter seems very important.”
Linley smiled and looked towards Patterson.
Patterson nodded, “That’s natural, and I’ve already arranged for a double. In the eyes of others. I’ve long since returned to the middle of the duke’s mansion. Other than Bernard, and my butler, I’m afraid only you know that I’m here.”
“A double?” “Duke Patterson, what exactly is it that you want to see me for in such secrecy?” Linley inquired with interest.
Duke Patterson looked around for a moment and instantly closed the door to the living room.
“Come. Let’s talk inside.”
Duke Patterson pulled Linley, and then brought him towards the interior room of the living room, and after entering the interior room. Patterson turned on the mechanism, only to hear the sound of ‘rattling’ rocks moving, and a stone door appeared.
There was also a closed secret room within this small building.
“Linley. Come in.”
Patterson smiled at Linley.
Linley nodded and stepped into it.
The secret room was dark, and Patterson lit three candles before smiling at Linley.
“It can’t be helped, whether it’s my ducal residence or yours. There are too many eyes of others to be safe.”
Patterson said with a long sigh of relief.
Linley also knew that his mansion had actually been under the watchful eye of the Illuminati and Clyde’s men.
Because the residence was arranged by Clyde. Because the residence was arranged by Clyde, the servants were also sent by Clyde, and it was normal for there to be Clyde’s eyes inside, while the guards were from the Illuminati, Linley’s actions in the residence had actually been exposed to the eyes of both sides. Was always exposed to the eyes of both sides.
“Duke Patterson. The matter to be talked about today seems to be very important, say, what is it.”
Linley said with a smile.
Patterson took out a magic crystal card from his pocket, “Linley. Inside here is ten million gold coins.”
“Ten million gold coins?” Linley waited for Patterson to explain.
Patterson said helplessly, “Linley, to be honest with you. After my elder brother asked me to take up the position of ‘Minister of Finance’ of the Finlay Kingdom, I’ve been utilizing the power in my hands. I’ve been seeking money for myself. All along. I’ve been doing it perfectly, but this time the smuggling I’ve been doing with other families is too big. With my manpower scouting, my big brother he …… might have already noticed it.”
Patterson was still very trustworthy and didn’t give away the Debus family.
“The scale of smuggling is too big? But what does that have to do with me?” Linley looked at Patterson with a smile.
Patterson hurriedly said, “Of course it has something to do with it. Although I’m a blood brother to Clyde, I know very well that he strikes without mercy. I had to find a way back for myself. After all, for so many years. I have done too many things. This matter was found out. Many things in the past will be found out.”
“So. I want you to help me talk to Young Master Yale of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, I know. You and Yale are good brothers.”
Patterson squeezed out a smile.
“Yale?” Linley somewhat understood what the other party meant.
Padson said helplessly, “In the future, things will happen. To be able to save me from the royal capital of Finlay City. There aren’t a few forces in the entire land, and the Dawson Chamber of Commerce is definitely one of them, and the Finlay Kingdom hasn’t dared to mess with the Dawson Chamber of Commerce! And the Illuminati. It definitely won’t go against the Dawson Chamber of Commerce just because of an embezzlement case.”
“As long as the Dawson Chamber of Commerce intervenes, it can very easily save me. But. I’m in contact with the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, and they’re not willing to piss off Clyde for me.”
Patterson looked at Linley expectantly.
“Linley, Yale is the son of the president of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, his words are very useful. And the Dawson Chamber of Commerce also holds you in high regard, so as long as you speak for me, there’s absolutely no problem.”
Patterson said thirstily. “If you don’t save me, I’m afraid I’ll die in the future, please, help, no one knows what you talk to me about.”
“As long as you save me, ten million gold coins will be yours, Linley. Please.”
Patterson’s tone was sincere. That gaze was filled with expectation! Linley smiled.
“No one knows?” Linley smiled brightly.
“Yes, no one knows.”
Patterson nodded repeatedly, joy already in his eyes.
Suddenly Linley’s entire appearance began to metamorphose at breakneck speed, black dragon scales began to emerge on his body, and black ground spines sprouted from his forehead. The hands also turned into dragon claws. The original eyes also turned into the dark golden eyes of the Spineback Ironclad Dragon.
“You-”
Patterson’s face changed drastically, realizing that it was not good, he immediately had his fighting qi rise up in his body. The muscles of his entire body also began to grave up.
“Whew!” Linley’s tail, which was like a long steel whip, pierced through the air. With a terrifying whistling sound, at a speed that Patterson couldn’t even react to. It fiercely lashed at Patterson’s body.
“Splat!” The seventh level warrior Paderson was directly lashed to the ground and flew up, blood flying about.
In the same instant, that long steel whip bound Patterson’s entire body. There was a sound of bones trembling. Patterson’s entire body was tightly bound. He couldn’t move in the slightest. Patterson desperately exerted himself. However, his arms simply couldn’t break free of the restraints.
Linley controlled the dragon’s tail. Carrying Patterson to his eyes.
The fully ‘dragonized’ Linley. Those cold, merciless dark golden eyes stared at Patterson. A cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, ”You say that no one knows? Haha. That’s just perfect, I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.”
“You. You ……”
Patterson was completely stunned by the sudden change.
That’s close to 10,000 words for both chapters combined today, huh? Tomato begs for an update ticket, if you have one, smash one for Tomato!
