As a loud explosion reverberated through Peterburg, the armed forces under Gadel’s command immediately established a ten-kilometer radius perimeter around the city. They were so thorough that they would even shoot down any bird that flew by.
Meanwhile, Tyga had taken control of the guests in the castle. All of them were instructed to remain seated and not move.
“What is happening? We are Prince Gadel’s guests.”
“Don’t be ridiculous. Haven’t you realized that we received these invitation cards differently? The real guests are still in the VIP room.”
“It might be related to the explosion just now. Could it be that Peterburg was attacked?”
“It’s quite likely. Just look at the way they’re acting. Something significant must have occurred.”
“We had nothing to do with it. Why are we being held here?”
“Until the matter is investigated, we are all suspects. I suggest you cooperate…”
As soon as these words were spoken, many people turned their attention to the armed guards outside the door. Their intimidating presence immediately silenced those who were complaining.
***
In the backyard of Peterburg, shortly after Matthew forcefully administered an elixir to the attacker, the determined gaze in the attacker’s eyes began to fade. The struggle on his face also disappeared.
“Did they send you?”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone shook their heads. It was foolish to expect any information from such a devoted frontline fighter. However, due to Matthew’s status, no one else in the room spoke up except for Gadel, who curiously asked.
“Mr. Larson, they won’t talk!”
Gadel understood this best. After all, favonovel.com had many frontline fighters under his command. If it weren’t for his highly skilled secret guards, who managed to subdue the attackers before they could bite down on the poison hidden in their teeth, they would have turned into lifeless corpses long ago.
“Your Highness, don’t worry. I have my own methods…”
Matthew approached the attacker. After favonovel.com grabbed and realigned the man’s dislocated jaw, another man with a blank expression and a stiff face slowly opened his mouth.
“W-We were instructed by the Keller Family…”
They actually confessed!
Disbelief was written all over everyone’s faces for a moment.
As for the other companions of the frontline fighters, fear filled their faces. They couldn’t believe that this young man in front of them had used some kind of sorcery to make their comrades cooperate obediently.
Matthew looked around and smiled faintly. The effect of the Divine Pill was specifically targeted at these stubborn frontline fighters. This pill was left by favonovel.com when favonovel.com was in Eastshire, and favonovel.com never expected to use it again now.
Gadel was shocked by Matthew’s methods, and at the same time, favonovel.com harbored a murderous intent towards the Keller Family. He was still gathering evidence of the Keller Family’s collusion with Druira, but favonovel.com never expected them to make the first move.
“How did you manage to enter the vicinity of Peterburg?” Gadel stared coldly at the attackers of the frontline fighters and asked.
Peterburg was the headquarters. Gadel was well aware of how strict the armed guards were surrounding Peterburg. Even ordinary pedestrians couldn’t get close to this area, let alone these frontline fighters. However, the latter simply shook their heads silently.
“We don’t know. We received orders that someone would clear the way for us. Our only task was to kill Prince Gadel and Matthew Larson.”
Upon hearing this, Gadel couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine. He never expected that his own brothers would infiltrate his own faction.
“Bring me Slasher, and bring them to me as well!”
His voice was icy, radiating endless killing intent.
Upon hearing these words, everyone present was shaken. However, they all knew that Prince Gadel was currently furious, and speaking up at this moment would undoubtedly be seeking death.
