Tantric family to divine dynasty

Chapter 48 The gun on the forehead
  After the auction is over, it stands to reason that the guests will not come back, but leave in a hurry without wanting to stay, as if escaping from a dangerous cave.

Byrne, however, was one of the few guests who kept coming back.

When he made the request to buy the alchemy mask, the silver-faced waiters quickly responded.

A very tall silver-faced waiter walked up, bowed slightly, and replied in a very polite manner.

"Sorry, our masks are limited to one per invitee and will never be sold in excess."

"So that's it, I understand."

In fact, Byrne was not surprised by the answer, and his whim was just an attempt.

Because the "concealment" effect possessed by the alchemy mask is too practical.

The leading silver-faced waiter continued with a soft voice and a hint of smile:
  "Dear guest, there is one more important thing I must tell you. The 'concealment' effect of the alchemy mask can only take effect here. It is best not to use it to deal with problems outside."

Byrne fell into deep thought, feeling deeply disappointed with the alchemy mask.

He could immediately understand why.

Otherwise, people would wear the mask of the Alchemy Council every time they wanted to do something they didn't want to see anyone doing, and then the so-called secret organization would be made known to almost everyone.

Leaving the dark alley, Byrne came to the prepared carriage, took off the dark gold mask and put it in a special box.

The coachman responsible for driving is Tio, the guard captain who has worked for the Fisher family for many years. He has been Byrne's swordsmanship teacher in the past.

Tio was a boatswain who worked for John the Trader for more than ten years. Later, he refused to go to sea again because he almost died in a shipwreck.

A few years ago, his savings were dwindling. In order to support his wife and children, he came to the Fisher family for re-employment under the introduction of John. Because of his good skills and rich experience, Lucius appointed him as the family's guard captain.

After returning to the hotel, Byrne did not go to bed immediately, but thought about visiting Mr. King tomorrow, planning to discuss things about the food processing factory.

The money has been spent, and what he has to do is to completely reject the investment invitation from the food processing plant.

It was already dark now. Byrne went to bed after thinking about it and got up at around eight o'clock in the morning.

However, Mr. Jin is an "inverted person" who has no morning and noon at all, gets up in the afternoon, and is extremely active at night, so now is not the time to visit him.

He thought about what to do next:

"The guards and servants are very tired after traveling for so long from Nasir to Fein City. We should have another day of rest tomorrow and visit the father-in-law and Baron Hoffmann of the Hoffmann family the day after tomorrow."

The long journey is indeed a troublesome thing, but unfortunately there is a limit to the speed of the carriage. Byrne couldn't help but think that it would be much faster if he had the luxury of using magic to travel.

The Fischer family spent a lot of money at the auction, and the goods will be sent to Nasir within half a month.

Waiting until after three o'clock in the afternoon, Byrne, his guards and servants set off in a carriage and arrived in front of Mr. Jin's villa in the city center.

"I'm Byrne Fisher. I'd like to meet Mr. King. I have something I want to discuss in detail."

Byrne announced his name, and soon he was greeted by the butler and went to the living room to wait for a while.

The polite butler walked up, smiled and said to Byrne, who was already familiar with him:
  "Mr. Byrne, we meet again. Mr. Jin just said that he can meet you in the study in about ten minutes. At about five o'clock, Mr. Jin will receive other guests, so you will not be left to have dinner."

Leave yourself more than half an hour, Byrne thought, it should be enough.

Because the cooperation with the Fisher family was very successful in making money, the two parties naturally looked at each other more and more favorably.

Over the past four years, his relationship with Mr. King has only gotten better and better.

Byrne knew very well that a lot of the money earned by the Fisher family for Mr. King actually went to Viscount Best.

Viscount Best Leon is the head of the "Lion Family", Mr. Jin's brother-in-law, and the lord of Fein City. He is just fifty-three years old this year and is still in the prime of life.

He has already reached the second level, and has even reached the metamorphosis of a powerful knight, but it is basically impossible to reach the monarch further in his lifetime.

The two extraordinary bloodlines that the Leon family has steadily inherited are the "Bronze Lion" and the "Blue Stone Giant Ape", both of which are bloodline powers derived from high-level monsters.

At the same time, the Leon family also has a 17% chance of inheriting the "protection" type of spellcasting talent.

The entire Lion family has been operating in Fein City for hundreds of years, and there are nearly a hundred core family members. In comparison, the Eagle Family's background and power are much weaker. It can basically be said that the strength on paper is no match for the Leon Family.

Their biggest trump card is the support of Earl Hoven, the governor of the east coast.

Although Count Hoven and Viscount Best were always laughing and joking at the banquet, the two of them were even close friends who had known each other for many years.

However, everyone in the upper class circles on the East Coast knows very well that the private quarrel between Earl Hoving and Viscount Best has already exploded and scattered all over the ground, and now the various industries owned by the Lion family are being eroded step by step. .

But so far, Viscount Best and the family behind him have not been hurt, because Mr. Jin has extremely strong business and financial abilities and has been responsible for handling various major businesses of the Lion family.

Ten minutes later, Byrne looked up at the naval clock on the wall. The time was now a little after four o'clock.

He arrived at the second floor of the villa in a familiar way and knocked gently on the study door, but did not hear Mr. Jin's deep voice calling "come in" at all.

Byrne was stunned for a moment. The "profound memory" showed that Mr. Jin would shout "come in" every time. Today's situation was a little different.

Then he heard a "crackling" sound of something breaking and felt something was wrong, so he pushed the door open and entered.

"Mr. Jin..."

Byrne wanted to speak just now but hesitated. His eyes gradually became lowered and he frowned slightly.

broken.

A huge body weighing hundreds of kilograms lay on the ground, his bald eyes staring at the ceiling. His eyes were full of anger and lingering fear, as if he had seen something the most terrifying thing in the world. things.

There was a clearly visible bullet hole in his temple, and blood was flowing out.

An extremely delicate alchemical flintlock gun fell into Mr. Jin's hand, and there was still the smell of smoke in the air.

died!

"Damn it!"

Byrne took a deep breath, not wanting to touch anything, and stepped back alertly, even suspecting that the murderer might still be nearby.

"Mr. Byrne, why are you here?"

The sudden sound not far away stunned Byrne for a moment, and then he turned around and saw the two of them.

One is the housekeeper of Mr. Jin's family, and the other is the local sheriff of Fein City, the "metamorphic" knight extraordinary of the Lion family, and the third brother of Viscount Best, Renzo.

Sheriff Renzo was wearing a black leather coat, with a beard, and looked very serious.

Why did they come here suddenly? After a moment of silence, Byrne said calmly: "Mr. Jin is dead, and the murderer may still be nearby."

The butler and Sheriff Renzo were completely stunned after hearing this.

"Mr. King is dead? What on earth are you talking about!" Sheriff Renzo growled.

The two quickly walked into the study and looked at what happened in shock.

Mr. Jin's heavy body is right in front of you, everything is too shocking!

The housekeeper immediately started crying and kept shaking his head: "Lord of the Redeemer, why did such a thing happen! It's impossible!"

Byrne paused and reminded again: "The murderer may still be nearby. We must be careful. He is likely to attack again."

"It'll be okay, Mr. Byrne. I won't let the murderer succeed."

Sheriff Renzo quickly calmed down and then comforted him with a calm voice.

Just as Byrne was about to nod, he saw Sheriff Renzo decisively and quickly take out the alchemical flintlock gun from his waist, and put it on his head without hesitation. The cold and hard touch was terrifying.

"do not move!"
