Chapter 2923 Lure It with Benefits
The light of the knife is like a cold light, which can kill people if it blows in the face.
Thousands of adventurers fell to the ground like cut grass.
Blood was flowing and body parts were everywhere. In front of the Keppel family castle, it was like a hell on earth.
After a few minutes, I stopped, cut off a relatively clean piece of cloth from a relatively clean corpse on the ground, and gently wiped the blood stains and minced meat on the knife.
In front of the castle gate, only two people from the Keppel family are still alive. They are the mayor and the steward.
"If this is the only heritage of the Keppel family, I will be very disappointed, what do you think?"
Turning my head, I looked at the butler.
The housekeeper was already so frightened that his legs were trembling and he was speechless.
After a moment, two lines of unstoppable tears flowed out like a fountain, and soon wetted the tie on his chest.
A man, a mature man, cried in broad daylight.
A man's tears will only flow in two situations: tears of joy, or complete despair.
His trump card was that nearly a hundred adventurers of around six levels from the Keppel family were all killed by me. This blow would not surprise him, but would only make him despair.
At this moment, he felt as if he was on the edge of a cliff. He might fall off the cliff at any time and fall to pieces. His death would be as miserable as corpses lying everywhere.
The key to whether he lives or dies lies with me, and the key to my behavior lies in my mood and his next answer.
At this time, the housekeeper was tangled and broken in his heart. He must have wished he could go back in time, preferably back to the day when he blocked my way, and then use the most pious and humble gesture to complete the task entrusted to him by the master of the family.
I believe that in this way, the killing god in front of me will definitely not take his own life.
But now, what should he do and say to turn the bad impression into a good one in a very short period of time?
The housekeeper was thinking at high speed, trying to resolve the dead situation in front of him, but I didn't intend to give him any chance.
There is only one specific reason - he scattered the copper coins I bribed him with on the floor and ridiculed me.
Although I am not a person who values face very much, why do you dare to ridicule me?
You may not accept my bribe, or you may even ignore my good intentions, but if you are far inferior to me and dare to ridicule me, then you must bear the corresponding consequences.
An old proverb goes: If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
This sentence can also be used here.
After waiting quietly for a while, I still didn't see the housekeeper speak. My patience finally ran out, and I swung my knife casually, and the light of the knife flashed past.
At the same time, the housekeeper opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something, but it was already too late.
When his head fell to the ground, his voice died together with his life.
"I'm tired of waiting." I shook my head and murmured to myself, "Your fate has already been determined. What's the point of delaying it any longer?"
After saying that, I stepped forward, stepped up the steps, came to the door, swung my sword and slashed, all at once.
The door was evenly broken into dozens of pieces and fell to the ground.
As soon as the door shattered, hundreds of wind-shattering sounds roared out, those were - arrows and crossbow bolts!
They thought that by taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared, they would be able to achieve a complete victory, but they overlooked one thing, that is, if they want to win by surprise, they must first ensure that the opponent's strength is equal to theirs, or that the opponent is only one step ahead.
If the opponent's strength is already so strong that it is difficult for us to match it, no matter how ferocious the attack, it will be in vain - unless it can be airtight, it may not even be able to hurt the opponent.
Ignoring the arrows and crossbows coming towards me, I sneered and swung my sword. A simplified version of the draw sword flashed past. The afterimage had not yet dissipated. All the adventurers who were blocking the gate and shooting arrows had their heads. Fly up and die here.
"Good formation." Shaking off the scraps of meat stuck to the blade, I murmured: "It's just that the strength is a little weak. If it can be stronger, it may cause some hindrance to me."
After saying this, they started killing each other.
For a time, the castle was filled with screams, wails, screams, and cries. The magnificent castle instantly transformed into the most terrifying and cruel hunting ground. Its tragic state was even worse than that of the Roman Arena.
Just when I was about to kill, a loud shout interrupted my movements: "Stop it, An Xiaoyi!"
The sword flashed and cut off the head of the person in front of me. I put away the sword and stood up. I followed the sound and saw a tall, thin man with squinting eyes standing more than ten meters away from me. He was holding his arms and staring at me with interest. Holding me.
After pondering for a moment, I spoke first: "Are you the head of the Keppel family?"
"Yes, it's me." The tall, thin man with squinting eyes said with a smile, as if he was chatting with a friend, and he didn't take the corpses everywhere seriously.
"Since you are the head of the family, you must already know the purpose of my visit, right?"
"I know." The head of the family nodded with a smile and said, "It is precisely because I know that I have to show up."
"Then what is the purpose of your appearance?" Looking up at him, I said calmly: "Do you want to kill me yourself?"
"No, no, no, I didn't mean that." He shook his head and said, "I just want to make a deal with you."
"Make a deal with me? Why?"
"Because you passed."
"Passed?" I sneered and asked, "Do you think you are the marking teacher?"
"Although I missed it, it's not far away." The head of the family said with a smile: "Looking around this town, I'm afraid there's no one who can surpass you in strength. So the first time I saw you, I developed a love for talents. Heart."
"Love of talent?" I frowned slightly, and I pointed at him and then at myself: "You versus me?"
"Exactly" the head of the family said: "I hope you can cooperate with me and do things for me. Don't worry, I will never treat you badly. As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, money, power, beauty, reputation, and countless other things will come to you." All the benefits will come rolling in. Just think about it, you only need to nod your head to become the most powerful person in this town, and all the resources here will be used for you!"
"What a good deal, aren't you tempted? Don't you even have the slightest desire?"
The owner of the house led me step by step, trying to lure me into the trap.
If I were not from Zefeng Continent, if I didn't have everything I have now, maybe I would really consider his suggestion for a while, but now, I don't even have the slightest idea to consider it.
I really want to tell him that the endless money you mentioned is just a drop in the ocean to me. You mentioned having countless beauties, but you don’t know that I already have a group of fiancées. You mentioned the power, but you don’t know. I am both the future talker of Fort Vicky and the future boss behind Moonlight City. Maybe I don’t have the reputation you mentioned in the world, but do you think a person like me who values reality will care about a little fame?
