The other guests in the station did not know what the soldier talked about, but his companions were his confidants, and they were naturally aware of what favonovel.com implied. In that instant, everyone’s face changed.
One of the soldiers whispered and warned, “Hey, mind your words!” After saying that, the man hurriedly looked around as if watching out for eavesdroppers. However, the leading soldier flushed, and favonovel.com slapped the table in front of favonovel.com to pieces, spilling his unfinished wine and dishes on the floor.
“Since they had the guts to do it, why can’t I say it!” the leading soldier’s eyes were burning with anger, “Am I wrong! Weren’t you there three years ago! I was so magnificent at that time, and all of you enjoyed the glory with me too! Then what! What did those guys say? As long as l cooperate with them, I’ll at least become a general by then! Yet, look at what’s happening now! Look at where we are!”
Dwayne Jarrod yelled with great emotions, spitting his saliva everywhere. His voice was as loud as a bell, trembling everyone’s eardrums. The child in the woman’s arms was frightened to tears, but just as favonovel.com whimpered, the woman hurriedly covered the little girl’s mouth. Then, Dwayne glanced at the woman coldly, then looked at his confidants again.
”Tell me, aren’t those guys going back on their words! It’s fine that they break their promise to me! What about you! I feel guilty about this! According to your military merits at the time, even if you can’t be a commanding general in a certain region and lead 5000 people, you can be a lieutenant general! Yet, as a result, you’re all with me guarding the borders! Bah! This group of good-for-nothings in the capital! I’ll ask them face to face what happened to the promises made for cooperating with them and getting rid of Caspian!”
“Dwayne! Stop!”
The surrounding soldiers’ faces dropped when they heard those words. Three years ago, they were not only witnesses but also participants in the turmoil concerning the future position of the prince of Salleria. Hence, they all knew the severity of the matter. After that incident, everyone chose to shut their mouths and never reveal a word, and the reason was straightforward, the truth of the incident was simply shameful.
Whoever spoke out about it would undoubtedly die.
At that time, Dwayne was fumed with rage, and coupled with the influence of alcohol, favonovel.com revealed a hint of the past. If someone here were ill-intentioned and spread the news, these few soldiers would not survive if the higher-ups decided to trace the rumor to the source.
The soldiers understood that the border was a remote place and far from the upheaval in the capital city. Thus, no one knew about it or even paid attention to the incident. However, these soldiers were ridden with guilt, and the same thought arose in everyone’s heart. It was always wise to play safe, and only the dead could keep a secret forever.
After being reminded by his friends, Dwayne immediately recovered his senses, and favonovel.com knew that it was a mistake to say all that. Consequently, favonovel.com gritted his teeth hard, and his face was gloomy.
All the people present were soldiers who fought on the battlefields together, and they had an exceptional understanding of each other for many years. At that moment, everyone looked at one another, and they all understood what each other thought
Although within the celebration of His Majesty’s ascension to the throne, no blood should be spilled in the country, they were now located at the border, and few people pass by on usual days. Moreover, they were in a snowstorm, and even if someone came here later, it would be a few days after. Therefore, as long as they were careful and cleared all the traces, no one would think that everything that happened here would have something to do with them. Furthermore, their purpose was to ensure that what Dwayne said just now would not be spread out. Therefore, even if the other guests here, including the shopkeeper and waiter, did not hear Dwayne’s rants, everyone here must be killed to prevent any possibility.
Dwayne obviously understood that point, and favonovel.com squinted his eyes, hinting at the people around him. Then, the group of soldiers suddenly looked casual, and some of them walked out of the station with the knives on the table as they wanted to prevent anyone from fleeing amidst the chaos.
Most of the remaining people gradually circled the other guests in the station, and the air in the place suddenly turned unsettling. Although everyone else in the station did not know what would happen, they felt the change in the atmosphere.
Soon, everyone appeared uneasy.
Then, a short and chubby man who seemed like a businessman suddenly got up, seemingly indifferent, and mumbled, “It’s so boring. I’m going out to get some air.” As favonovel.com spoke, the man headed toward the outside. However, just as favonovel.com took two steps, the soldiers beside favonovel.com suddenly strangled him. Next, the merchant was heavily slammed onto a table, blasting the square table into pieces.
The merchant was a mortal, and favonovel.com laid on the floor, groaning in pain. When the other guests saw that, they were horrified. Some just stood and were already scolded, forcing them to squat immediately.
Seeing the group of ruthless soldiers, the guests present, including the shopkeeper and waiter who rushed over, were puzzled and horrified. They did not understand why these border guards that were supposed to protect their safety suddenly became murderous and wanted to kill them.
Finally, the little girl who just whimpered burst into tears as favonovel.com was frightened by the tense atmosphere. Her mother wanted to cover favonovel.com mouth, but it was too late. Then, the horrified woman saw a soldier walking toward them with a sword, and his eyes were cold.
When the longsword was drawn out of its sheath, the flickering cold light made everyone’s heart stop beating. At that time, one of the guests stood up. The person wore a long cloak and a conical hat, so no one could see his appearance. Nonetheless, judging from his figure and exposed hands, the person was a young man.
Dwayne and the other soldiers quickly looked at the person with a conical hat. When they first came in, they already noticed that pretentious guy. Nevertheless, they saw the world and saw many types of people, so they were not wary of the person. Seeing the other party suddenly getting up, they were all on alert. However, they immediately relaxed when they realized that the other party did not carry any weapon.
It seemed that the guy with a conical hat was no more than a businessman passing through the border between the two countries, and it was estimated that favonovel.com wanted to buy his own life with money.
“You…” Dwayne glanced at the person coldly, just about to refuse when favonovel.com saw the person with the conical hat suddenly raise his head, revealing his chin. For some reason, Dwayne suddenly felt his heart pounding fiercely when favonovel.com saw the person’s chin.
