Episode 6: The Road to Revenge Chapter 28: The Life and Death of a Mother

Linley discreetly glanced a few times towards both sides and said in a low voice, “Your Majesty, please wait a moment while I screen out the people outside.”

With that, Linley headed out towards the door and directly barked at the two guards outside the hall door, “All of you go out, no one is allowed to enter the courtyard without my orders.”

“Yes, Lord Linley.”

The two guards respectfully left, and all of a sudden, only Linley, Clyde, Merit, and Ransom were left in the middle of the entire solitary courtyard.

“Squeak.”

Linley quietly closed the door to his room.

“Linley, what’s so mysterious that you have to close the door to your room?”

Clyde said with a smile.

Linley glanced at this Clyde and sneered in his heart. He himself knew very well that this Clyde had already been hit by the hemolytic poison, only the hemolytic poison wasn’t harmful to the body, it just hindered the operation of the fighting qi. As long as you don’t run the fighting qi you won’t realize that you have been hit by the hemolytic poison.

“This matter is indeed very important.”

Linley’s face was solemn.

However, at this moment, Ransome was quietly approaching Clyde, Ransome, as the king’s personal attendant, felt that the environment at this moment was a bit threatening, although in Ransome’s opinion, with His Majesty’s ninth ranked powerhouse strength, along with his eighth ranked powerhouse strength. No one here could threaten them at all.

But it was never wrong to be careful.

“Your Majesty.”

Linley looked solemnly at Clyde, “My mother died when I was very young.”

Clyde nodded, he had checked Linley’s birth message, Linley’s mother had died in childbirth giving birth to Linley’s younger brother, Little Walden.

“I don’t feel any motherly love in my memories. I only have a stern father in my memories, my father was very strict with me, whether it was warrior training or education in all kinds of knowledge in terms of nobility. My father’s ground was very demanding and strict.”

Linley looked at Clyde and said slowly.

Clyde was a little puzzled, he didn’t understand what Linley’s saying this had to do with the so-called very important matter. But as a king, Clyde had the decency not to interrupt Linley.

“I’m sure Your Majesty knows. My Baruch family, is the Dragonblood Warrior family.”

Linley had a proud look on his face.

“Yes, one of the four ultimate warrior clans, the Dragonblood Warrior Clan. It’s a very splendid and ancient family.”

Clyde marveled.

Linley shook his head and said, “That was only glorious in the past, my family declined to the point where it even lost its family land inheritance treasure for hundreds of years. For hundreds of years, my Baruch family’s successive generations have wanted to reclaim the treasure of inheritance. But it has never been realized. Your Majesty, do you know what my father said to me the day I was accepted into the Ernst Magic Academy and I left home?”

“Said what?”

Clyde looked at Linley.

“My father said that if I don’t retrieve the treasure of the family inheritance in the future. He, even in death, would never forgive me!”

Linley’s body trembled slightly.

Clyde, Melitte, and even Ransom, couldn’t help but open their eyes wide. A father, actually saying such words to his son. “Your father went too far.”

Clyde said.

“No.”

Linley shook his head solemnly, “I understand the desire in my father’s heart, my Dragonblood Warrior clan has been in a state of indolence for hundreds of years, and not a single truly strong person has appeared in hundreds of years. My father understands. I will be the strongest person in the family land for hundreds of years. The hope of the family for hundreds of years lies in me. Do you think that my father would tolerate my failure?”

Clyde understood somewhat.

“My father’s lifelong hope. It is the hope that this Warblade Slaughter returns to the family.”

Linley’s voice grew more and more stern. “I’ve been at the Ernst Magic Academy, and I’ve never dared to relax. Cultivating desperately. I’ve been anxious for my father’s hope, my father’s mandate!”

The three Clyde’s also somewhat understood what was going on in Linley’s heart.

“Just half a year ago, after the auction of my Dream Awakening Stone Sculpture, I went back, and that time, I went back with the Warblade Slaughter.”

Linley’s voice rose high.

Clyde, Ransom, and Merit also froze.

Because they knew that this time, Linley’s father had died.

“But when I went back with gusto, what greeted me was the news that my father had died, that he hadn’t even seen the Warblade Slaughter on his deathbed, and that I hadn’t even seen my father one last time. I cultivated hard for so many years in the hope that my father would be happy, but unfortunately ……”

All the muscles in Linley’s face began to twitch, his face horrifyingly pale.

The three Clyde people also understood the feelings in Linley’s heart.

“Linley, don’t be too sad.”

Clyde sighed.

Linley, however, smiled coldly, “But do you know how my father died?”

Clyde, Merit, and Ransom were all stunned.

“My father, was killed by Your Majesty’s your brother, Duke Patterson!”

Linley’s eyes began to redden.

“What!”

Clyde was shocked, and next to him, Merit and Ransom were also stunned.

“So, I killed Patterson!”

Linley’s voice seemed sinister.

At this time, Ransom was the first to sense that the atmosphere in the room was not right anymore, not by the fact that he leaned towards Clyde warily. Always on guard against Linley. However, it was at this time that Ransom felt a gust of wind, and Ransom, as a rank eight powerhouse, knew that it was too late to turn his head, so he could only swing his arm to block.

“Ka-ching!”

A sharp pain was transmitted, and then Ransom could not feel the existence of his ground hand. And at this time, Ransom also noticed out of the corner of his eye – a gopher-shaped demonic beast with a volume of half a meter long was in front of him with a mouth full of blood, and besides noticing the blood-filled fangs, he also noticed the sharp claws that were waved at great speed. In today’s close range, Ransom had no time to dodge.

It was too fast!

“Puff.”

The sharp claws directly slit Ransome’s throat, Ransome froze looking at this scene, and his eyes gradually dimmed.

He couldn’t understand when this half-meter-long magical beast rat had appeared. He had carefully observed the room the first time he entered it. He only noticed a small shadow rat only the size of a palm lying on the carpet.

Was a palm-sized black shadow rat a threat?

For an eighth level powerhouse, there was no threat at all. Ransom did not have the slightest caution, so, without preparation, Ransom, an eighth level powerhouse, was killed so easily by Bebe, the shadow mouse. In fact, his death was not unfair, with Bebe’s strength. Ransom was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to block a few moves even if he fronted up to the battle.

“Ransom.”

Clyde and Merit were both shocked.

A rank 8 powerhouse had died in a single shot. Both of them were so shocked that they looked towards the magical beast Shadow Mouse. Under their gaze, the shadow rat, Bebe, shrunk in size and returned to the size of a palm. It finally jumped onto Linley’s shoulder.

“Bebe. Well done.”

Linley stroked Bebe’s small head.

Bebe squinted his eyes in great enjoyment.

Linley turned his head and continued to look at Clyde, and that cold stare caused Clyde to be shocked in his heart.

“Linley, what are you doing?”

Clyde shouted coldly, while Clyde revved up the fighting qi in his body. But just at that moment, Clyde felt that the originally usual meridian avenues. Now it was as if it was completely blocked.

With Clyde’s ninth level strong fighting qi, in the past, it could be like waves, but now it can only be difficult to run like a small stream of fighting qi. Moreover, the flow of the fighting qi would be cut off from time to time. At this moment, Clyde’s fighting qi was only about one percent of his full strength.

“Your Majesty, don’t shout, don’t resist. To resist is to die.”

Linley said blandly.

Clyde instantly realized his situation.

Now, he was afraid that he could only rely on his physical strength, and with his current strength he could only barely catch up to a rank six warrior. But that little Shadowmouse on Linley’s shoulder. Even Rank 8 powerhouse Ransom could kill it instantly.

Clyde didn’t doubt for a second that Linley with his magical beast. Had the ability to kill him instantly.

“Linley, you dare. You dare to assassinate His Majesty?”

Terrified, Merit couldn’t help but shout.

“Shut up.”

Linley glanced coldly at Melite.

Melitte’s physical strength wasn’t strong. Now that his fighting qi was nearly completely inoperative, his physical strength could only barely catch up to that of a rank four warrior.

Meritt also instantly realized his situation. She didn’t dare to yell at Linley, but she continued to persuade, “Linley, you have a great future, in the future, you’ll become a high ranking member of the Illuminati, and maybe you’ll even become the new Illuminati Pope in the future. But why do you have to cut off your own future now? Linley, I’m sure that His Majesty won’t blame you for killing Patterson. He dealt with your father, and he is to blame.”

Saying that, Merit also looked at Clyde.

Clyde also nodded and said, “Linley, this time, I can pretend it didn’t happen. That Padson, dead is dead.”

“Linley, His Majesty has said it all, so don’t be confused.”

Merit said in a hurry.

“Shut up!”

Linley swung his hand violently.

The fingers of Linley’s right hand were like steel claws as they directly grabbed onto Merit’s throat, suspending Merit in an instant.

“Ah, ah, ah!”

Merit looked at Linley in horror, looking at Linley in supplication.

“Linley.”

Clyde immediately spoke out.

Linley, however, sneered as his fingers exerted themselves, and finally his hand loosened.

“Ka-ching!”

With a sound, that Melitte’s entire person fell to the ground, he kept covering his throat, hard to let out ah, ah sounds, in his dying moments, in his heart, he couldn’t believe …… that today, when he came over with His Majesty Clyde, that it would be such an end.

At the moment of death, Merit also recalled a scene in his life, and he thought of the most is still a woman.

“If I knew I was going to be killed by Linley, that day, I shouldn’t have let that Alice go.”

It was this that Meritt was thinking about in his final moments.

Linley looked at Clyde with a cold smile.

“Linley, why are you doing this to me? It seems like I haven’t treated you too badly.”

Clyde looked at Linley, but at this time, Clyde’s heart was expectant, “Snow Lion, bring someone quickly. Hurry, hurry!”

Clyde was a rank nine powerhouse, and he also had magical beasts.

The Snow Lion was a Grade 8 magical beast that originated from the north, the Ice Cold Snow Lion, and it usually stayed in the palace.

Because of the soul contract, the snow lion and Clyde shared the same mind. When Clyde encountered danger, the Snow Lion already knew about it. Clyde himself is very clear, what he has to do now is to …… stall for time as much as possible!

“Yes, you are treating me well! But what about my mother?”

Linley stared deathly at Clyde.

If Clyde hadn’t sent someone to take his mother captive in the first place, I’m afraid that his own father would still be alive, and his own mother should still be staying at home. Both of his parents should still be alive! But because of Clyde’s behavior, he was left without his parents.

“Mother, didn’t your mother die in childbirth?”

Clyde said in disbelief.

“A difficult labor?”

Linley laughed, laughed maniacally, and then looked coldly at Clyde, “That’s just a cover-up lie. Clyde, back when my mother gave birth to my brother, both my mother and father went to the Temple of Light to pray, but on the night of the day they returned to the hotel, they were captured.”

“Clyde, have you forgotten that twelve years ago, you had Patterson send someone to take my mother captive?”

Linley looked coldly at Clyde, “Don’t deny it, Patterson has already explained everything.”

“So, that was your mother?”

Clyde was completely stunned.

“What, come to think of it?”

Fury ran through Linley’s eyes, “Say, how is my mother now? Tell me, is she alive, or is she dead?”

Clyde said blandly, “Your mother, I handed over to another person. Someone you can’t afford to mess with, and someone I can’t afford to mess with.”

“Another person?”

Linley was completely baffled.

At the same time, a glimmer of hope rose in the bottom of Linley’s heart, that a figure that even Clyde couldn’t afford to mess with would want to take his mother captive. I’m afraid there’s some important reason, perhaps …… his own mother is still alive.

Clyde sneered and said, “But, I can tell you that your mother is dead, surely dead.”

“No.”

Linley glared. “You don’t believe it?”

Clyde laughed when he reached this point.
