Episode 8: Walking a Miles Road Chapter 20: A Fire in Summer

In the quiet of the night. The shouts and screams of the Holmer family seemed more and more clear and piercing. Those sounds traveled far. Even Jenny and Keane, who lived in the castle, heard them clearly.

“What’s wrong?” Keane ran out wearing her robe, Jenny’s hair also ran out with her hair draped, the two siblings looked at each other suspiciously and walked directly towards the castle door. And extremely vigilant old servant Lambert at this moment has long been to the castle door.

“Madam has an order, no one may leave the castle at night.”

The two guards of the castle crossed their lances in their hands. Said coldly to Lambert.

“What’s going on? You two get out of the way.”

Keane chided.

The two guards saw Jenny and Keane coming over. They looked at each other. Everyone in the castle knew that this Keane was the heir of the city lord, but everyone also understood that Mrs. Weed would not let go of her power easily.

“Young master Keane. Miss Jenny. I’m sorry. Her Ladyship has ordered that you are not allowed to leave the castle at night. It’s better for you guys to go back and rest first.”

One of the taller ground guards spoke out.

Keane’s face turned cold, “Get out of the way.”

The tall guard still did not allow it. At the same time, he pleaded painfully, “Young Master Keane. Don’t make things difficult for us. You’re forcing us like this. You’re asking us to die. We really can’t disobey Madam’s order.”

Keane’s heart burst with irritation.

Next to him, Jenny persuaded, “Alright, Keane. It’s better than making things difficult for them. They are also quite pitiful.”

“Thank you Miss Jenny. Thank you Miss Jenny.”

Both of the guards said in a hurry, and in their hearts, they were also grateful to Jenny. Jenny looked like a holy angel, and her heart was just as kind.

Jenny gently inquired, “May I ask what is going on outside. I can hear that screaming, it seems like it’s so noisy in that direction to the east.”

The tall guard whispered, “Miss Jenny, just a short while ago. The Dame left the castle with her people, and there were quite a few city guards passing by the castle gates just now.”

“Dame? City guards?” Jenny and Keane were both puzzled.

Such a late night. What was Lady Wade doing out with a large number of city guards.

“Miss. Young master. Rest here for a while first.”

Lambert pointed to the stone chair on the ground next to him and said, Keane and Jenny nodded and walked over, the three of them just sat down.

Jenny, Keane, and Lambert were all annoyed. Merchant.

Mrs. Wade’s presence. It was like a fishbone stuck in their throats, making them miserable.

“That stinking woman, on the grounds that I’m not yet of age. Hardly want me to wait for another two years, hum …… two years. Two years down the line, I’m afraid I would have been killed by her long ago.”

Keane cursed in a low voice.

Jenny also nodded her head.

The siblings knew very well that they couldn’t let Mrs. Weed go on like this.

“Miss. Young Master. The First Lady has been managing Chilshire Castle for a long time now, whether it’s the city guards or the guards in the castle and so on. All of them listen to the words of the Great Lady. The Great Lady her prestige is already very, very high, if Young Master Keane doesn’t inherit the position of City Lord. It’s really hard for us to fight her. After all, the people here who …… fully support us. Too few.”

Lambert was also helpless.

Jenny, Keane, and Lambert were all silent.

In the Chill County City. There were really very few people who supported them, and I’m afraid that even if someone wanted to support them. They didn’t have the guts to do so, in Chiltern County City. Mrs. Weed was a landed emperor.

“Hoo.”

A wind sound rang out.

“Who?” The two guards both looked up alertly, only to see a man in a black warrior’s power suit floating down to the ground, and he was carrying a heavy greenish-black sword on his back.

“It’s me.”

Linley glanced back at the two guards.

The two guards immediately didn’t dare to say anything. They had heard of Linley’s strength. With the strength of their two guards. They couldn’t even stop Linley to the extent of stopping him.

“Big brother Lei.”

Jenny and Keane both stood up.

Linley turned his head to look.

It was now early in the morning. The temperature at night was still considered relatively high, and Keane and Jenny were both just wearing simple robes. Their hair was all a bit messy.

“Big brother Lei, what the hell is going on outside? Why is the sound so loud?” Keane was the first to inquire.

Linley casually said, “That Mrs. Weed led the men of the city guards and copied Holmer’s family right out of the house, do you think that it would not be noisy?” “Plagiarize the family?” Jenny and Keane were dumbfounded.

“Holmer’s family?” Lambert, the old servant on the ground next to him, was also horrified.

Linley casually made his way to one end of the bench and smiled, “You guys just rest here. Later on, just wait to hear the good news.”

“Good news? Did that stinking bitch copy the money from the family’s land and give it to me?” Keane let out a low curse.

“Boom!” At this time, a deafening explosion was heard from the east, and the sound of that explosion was loud. It was almost as if dozens of thunderbolts were roaring. It was feared that this single explosion had woken up most of the people in the entire Chill County City.

“What’s going on?” Jenny, Keane, and Lambert jumped up in fear.

The surrounding ground guards. There were also some attendants and maids of honor who were all shocked and puzzled as they looked out to the east, which at the moment had sky-high flames.

“Why are the flames so big. Such a loud explosion?” Linley also looked towards the east in confusion.

Everyone in the castle was confused for a moment. Everyone was waiting quietly, waiting for the city guards to return, waiting for Mrs. Weed to return, and perhaps then they would be able to find out why there were such large flames. Such a loud explosion.

After a while – neat hoofbeats sounded outside the castle gates, and the hoots and hollers came one after the other. What followed was a sharp knock on the door like raindrops during a thunderstorm.

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” ……

The knock on the door was sharp and piercing.

“Open the door, open the door.”

An angry and anxious roar came from outside.

The two guards didn’t dare to delay. Immediately, they opened the door to the castle grounds, and Linley, Keane, Jenny, Lambert and the others all looked towards the door.

The castle door was wide open. A large number of knights and valiant warriors had gathered in an open area outside the castle. At the head of the group was a blonde man holding a lance.

“Get lost.”

The blonde man scolded the two guards away.

However, when he saw Jenny and Keane’s siblings, the blonde man was stunned, and then immediately said respectfully, “Vice Captain Li Te of the city guards, I have met Miss Jenny and Young Master Keane.”

Vice Captain Li Te. He was considered the second-in-command in the City Guard. Second only to the first captain. Not long ago, at the banquet. Lieutenant Lieutenant was at the banquet. Naturally, he knew Jenny and Keane.

“Mr. Little. What happened that you are so impatient?” Keane spoke out.

Little immediately kneeled down on one knee. Agonizingly, he said, “Young Master Keane. My subordinate was not able to protect her well, and Mrs. Weed and her two brothers were killed in the explosion just now.”

“Oh …… ah!” Keane’s eyes widened all of a sudden, and Jenny and Lambert were also stunned. Even the surrounding ground guards were astonished.

Mrs. Weed was dead.

While Jenny and Keane were troubled. Mrs. Wade and her two brothers died so suddenly. Her death only made Keane and Jenny’s hearts more and more excited.

Keane and Jenny looked at each other. There was ecstasy in their eyes.

“What the hell is going on. You give me a detailed account.”

Keane was speaking with an air of superiority at the moment.

The blonde man, ‘Liet’, immediately reported, “This time, my subordinate brought hundreds of people from some of the city guards, following the order of the countess. I went directly to raid Holmer’s house.”

“When the plagiarism was completed. The Countess will get all the treasures, cars and so on. All of them were concentrated in the middle of the Holmer family’s inner hall, at that time, the Countess drove all of our soldiers out, leaving only the Countess and her two brothers to stay there.”

When Keane heard this, his mouth cursed in a low voice, “This stinking bitch, is really shameless.”

That Liet continued, “We were outside catching those Holmer family land people, but no one expected, suddenly that Holmer family’s mansion caught fire, this together with the fire, everyone immediately had to go to save the countess.”

“But we didn’t have time to go in. We heard a horrible explosion. More than half of the entire Holmer family’s buildings were completely destroyed.”

Liet agonized, “When we found the bodies of the Countess and the three of them, the bodies of the Countess and the three of them had long since been broken apart by the explosion. All three are dead.”

“Good, then you send someone to bring in the corpses of my eldest mother and their land while you go back to rest.”

Keane directly ordered.

“Yes.”

Liet answered the order extremely crisply at this moment.

Everyone understood. With Mrs. Chengde dying like this, the entire Chill County City would definitely fall to this child who was only fourteen years old.

Seeing Li Te’s group of people, they sent over the corpses that had been blasted black and broken.

Keane, Jennie and they were then completely sure …… that they were not dreaming. That dastardly Mrs. Weed was truly dead, and from today onwards, they were completely relaxed.

“Brother Ray.”

Jenny suddenly snapped out of it to look at Linley. “Thanks.”

Lambert also reacted. Looking towards Linley, he said gratefully, “Mr. Lei. You told us to listen to good news, and this is indeed good news, life-saving good news.”

“You guys are?” Keane froze. “What good news or not, ah!” Keane also reacted.

“Brother Ray. Did you come in from outside just now?” Keane asked in a low voice.

“Right.”

Linley nodded.

“Then you …….”

A smile appeared on Keane’s face.

Linley smiled back, “Seeing as you guys are so annoyed with the ground. Just stopped by to help you guys out with this root of annoyance. Alright, sleep well. Wait to inherit the position of City Lord.”

With that, Linley turned his head towards his own residence.

Jenny, Keane, and Lambert all looked at each other with some consternation and surprise, and they really wanted to cheer loudly, but the bodies of the three Mrs. Weeders were still there next to them. It was also a bit inappropriate for them to cheer now.

“Boss. Solved it?” Bebe was lying on the ground, his eyelids drooping.

Linley smiled, “Yes, solved.”

As far as Linley was concerned, a person of Mrs. Weed’s level wasn’t worthy of being an opponent at all. Mrs. Weed’s so-called little schemes were simply jokes in Linley’s eyes.

Who cares what schemes you have, just kill you directly. One hundred percent.

“Why is there an explosion?” Bebe inquired suspiciously.

“How would I know.”

Linley shook his head, “I struck out and killed Mrs. Weed and her two brothers outright. And then a fire magic ignited the house. After that …… I rushed back alone, but who would have thought. I had just returned to the castle when I heard that violent explosion.”

Linley didn’t realize. In fact, the mezzanine of that mansion contained Holmer’s experimental chamber. Many strange and bizarre materials, ingredients are in that experimental chamber. When the fire that Linley had set burned into the chamber, it had ignited some special materials. Ignited some special materials. This was what caused the violent explosion.

“No?” Bebe was stunned. “Oh, then sleep.”

“Eh. Sleep.”

Linley also casually laid down on the bed and rested directly.

The three siblings of Mrs. Weed had died just like that, quite suddenly in one night, and this sort of thing was like a big earthquake for the county town of Chiltern, and for Jenny and Keane, it was even more exciting for them to not be able to sleep through the night.

And for Linley. It was just a small matter.

And at this moment, the fire at the Holmer family’s mansion was still burning. Many of the city guards were still working hard to extinguish the fire ……
