Although it is a bit shabby, this heroic spirit is super strong

This was the first time in many years that Byron looked so miserable and downcast.

His voice trembled with fear, and his tone, which had always been somewhat arrogant even when confronting nobles, now became a humble plea.

"They bribed the restaurant owner to poison us eleven times, and tried to use threats to force us to pay our debts three times. And that doesn't even include the time I deliberately made them go to the casino and lose money."

Xiao clearly reported how many times Byron had secretly tried to attack Crystal and the others, which frightened Byron, the mastermind.

"W-why are you…"

He stepped back in panic and accidentally fell to the ground.

Even so, he continued to crawl away from Xiao.

Byron felt it was really weird that the other party seemed to be more familiar with the past than he was.

"As for me, I know quite a bit about medicine. So it was easy for me to spot the inferior medicine you were using."

"What?! That kind of medicine is..."

"As for the people you sent out, they were very obedient and told me the entire plan."

Looking at Xiao's extremely cruel and sneering expression, Byron could easily imagine what his men had been through.

Demon, monster! Why, why did I have to provoke such a thing?

Byron, who was extremely upset, no longer regarded Xiao as a human being and kept scolding Xiao and himself.

But it was too late, and he had no way to calm his anger.

"I, I promise I will never have any ideas about your woman again. Please let me go."

Anyone who knew Byron would be surprised to hear this hoarse and fearful plea.

Unfortunately, Akatsuki was the only one present, and the last person he saw was also Akatsuki.

"Why? Aren't you the one who's always been particular about getting rid of the problem completely?"

"Please."

"Okay, now you know why you're committing suicide. You can go die now."

Xiao put away his original smile and swung his sword at Byron with an expressionless face.

"Okay, time to check on Mr. Reg. I don't think it's going to be resolved smoothly..."

Xiao thought of how Reg begged him last night and smiled bitterly.

Even though Xiao knew that Reg had no way to solve Langdon's problem, he still agreed to let him face Langdon.

Xiao was going to make the final arrangements for Reg and Landon's affairs.

"I didn't expect it to be a sub-dragon species. I've never seen this kind of creature before."

Lucy, wearing a pure white feather dress, flew high in the sky above Helen Els, staring at the black flying dragon on the ground that had not yet completely broken free from its shackles.

She was more curious than surprised.

This was the second time she had seen a dragon creature. Unlike Sera who exuded spirituality and noble temperament, this black flying dragon only had a savage aura.

(But if Sera comes, wouldn't it be easier to lure and drive this big guy? No, it's still too dangerous, and it wouldn't be good for little Sera to see such a scene.)

Lucy pondered and took out the magic item that Akatsuki had given her.

Hoarse Flute.

The sound produced by this strange flute would make people feel unpleasant, and the sound of the sub-dragon species divided into dragonborn and sub-dragonborn would make it feel provoked.

As she played, she remembered how Sera gnashed her teeth in anger when she heard the sound, and Lucy couldn't help laughing.

Crystal and Rose have already gone to the border of Wyatt Territory to meet up with Duke O'Neill's army.

Her next task is to take this flying dragon to Wyatt's castle to cause chaos.

Unlike Macaulay and Warhol, the Wyatt family's base is not located in the capital city of the territory.

The reason is very simple. In the history of Wyatt Territory, rebellions by the people were very common, so the people of the Wyatt family were accustomed to living in a strong fortress.

"But Xiao, Crystal, and Hildreth are all amazing. Even Rose..."

Lucy thought back to the plan Akatsuki and the others had made, and felt a little guilty as a member of the elf royal family.

Rose and Crystal are responsible for contacting the O'Neill army stationed on the border, and Owen should have completed the preparations for inciting rebellion among the people.

As soon as she leads the dragon to Wyatt's castle, the plan will officially begin.

Although for some reasons, the empire did not interfere with the private fights between noble lords for territory.

But it is an unwritten rule that nobles of higher ranks cannot invade nobles of lower ranks.

Of course, there are exceptions if there is a suitable excuse.

Xiao and Hillilite planned to create problems in Wyatt Territory so that the neighboring O'Neill Army would have an excuse to intervene in the situation and bring all the problems in Wyatt Territory to the court of justice.

Imperial law also explicitly stipulates that lords must protect their subjects, so in disputes between lords and subjects, subjects with a lower position are not at an absolute disadvantage.

Even though this law is useless in most cases, the rebels in Wyatt's army this time have the support of the entire O'Neill faction.

With Hillilite's skills, it would not be difficult for her to take advantage of this opportunity to directly eliminate the Wyatt family and control their original territory.

Ever since the attack on the inn, Akatsuki had been planning this plan to uproot the Wyatt Family as revenge for what happened to him and others.

Whenever someone around him is threatened, Xiao will suddenly become a different person and eliminate the threat in an extremely rational and cruel way.

This made Lucy and Rose feel a little worried, but...

Unlike Rose, Lucy does not have the ability of Holy Heart, but sometimes she can do similar things.

Like her sister, she was well aware of the darkness buried deep within Akatsuki's heart, a darkness that even he himself probably didn't know about.

(Let’s finish the current task first. After all, solving that problem will not be completed overnight.)

Lucy watched the dragon break free from its last restraints and fly towards her, and immediately adjusted her thoughts and moved towards Wyatt's castle.

Chapter 141 The severing of the relationship between the adoptive father and son

"Uncle Reg, why did you bring me to a place like this?"

Deep in the Ouroboros dungeon, after clearing out the surrounding monsters, Langdon asked a question in great confusion.

He was filled with anxiety, always feeling that something big was going to happen next.

In fact, even as he said this, Helen Els was already in chaos because of the flying dragon released by Byron.

"This is the last sum of money we will give you. From now on, I am no longer your adoptive father, and you are no longer my adopted son."

Reg threw a savings card on the ground as a last living allowance for Landon.

"W-What are you talking about..."

Reg's sudden severance of his father-son relationship left Langdon frozen in place.

If it were in the past, he would definitely cheer for this matter.

But he hasn't gotten Wendy through Byron yet, and he absolutely can't sever the father-son relationship with Reg just like that.

"I've made myself clear, don't you want me to say something so heartless?"

Reg answered bitterly.

He was also troubled by what happened today for a long time.

In order to save the life of this brat whom he and his wife had taken care of for more than ten years, he begged Xiao to let him handle the affairs of Langdon.

"Why, why are you saying this so suddenly..."

There was no fierce rebuttal, and Langdon himself felt very guilty.

"You know the reason very well, do you still need me to explain it?"

"What are you talking about all of a sudden? How can I know what you mean if you don't explain it clearly?"

Seeing that Langdon was going to play dumb, Reg decided to confront him.

"You've actually been colluding with Byron, planning to get my wife and daughter."

Reg was extremely angry when he said this.

But this anger was not directed at Langdon, but at himself.

He regretted that if he had not spoiled Landon too much when he was little because of his guilt towards his older brother, and had been a little stricter with him, would things not have turned out like this?

Even though he knew it was meaningless, Reg couldn't help but think so.

"W-What are you talking about? How could I possibly do such a thing? Wendy is my sister, and I've always considered Ms. Odelet my mother.

How could I possibly do such a thing?!"

"Do you still want me to show you the evidence?"

Seeing that Langdon had no intention of admitting it, Gray took out the things Xiao had given him with great heartache.

It was a contract with the terms and signatures agreed upon by Byron and Langdon.

"Where did you get this thing from?!"

"Xiaoxian, this is what Master Xiao gave me. Byron is finished, so you should leave here quickly and don't let us see you again."

Reg remembered that Xiao seemed to have a close relationship with the Acting Duke, and immediately changed his words to use a more respectful address.

Although he didn't seem to have aristocratic status, he felt that Xiao might become a prominent figure, so he couldn't help but address her respectfully according to the etiquette taught by his wife Odelette.

"Again. That guy again! Why do you all like that guy so much? Even Wendy! I'm the one who grew up with her, and I like her so much!"

Reg didn't quite understand what Landon meant, but he felt very angry when he heard him say that he liked his daughter.

"Wendy doesn't have those kinds of feelings for you, and I don't think your possessiveness towards Wendy is love."

"Huh! What nonsense are you talking about? If you damn couple hadn't stopped me, I would have been with Wendy a long time ago."

"Is that what you think? We originally planned not to stop you from developing a romantic relationship with Wendy.

But now it seems that no matter what you say, Odelette and I will not hand our daughter over to you. Besides, Wendy doesn't like you at all, right? "

Although Wendy herself was not very aware of it as it was her first love, her parents Reg and Odelette had already understood their daughter's thoughts.

Although the first encounter with Xiao was very awkward, the contact during this period made the couple's opinion of Xiao change greatly.

And with the girls around him, Reg felt that Xiao might be a good match for Wendy.

Even though their daughter might end up becoming a concubine in the future, the couple decided not to stop their daughter if both parties were willing.

Wendy had romantic feelings for Xiao, and Langdon could see it, which was why he became increasingly anxious.

"If you allow me to be with her, she won't fall in love with that kind of man with unknown origins."

"What are you talking about permission or not? When did you ever tell us that you liked Wendy? When did you confess your feelings to Wendy?"

"Isn't that kind of thing obvious at a glance?!"

"I have nothing more to say to you. Take this money and leave quickly."

"I don't want it. I don't want anything. As long as I don't get Wendy..."

"Don't make trouble here! Take this money and get out of here!"

This was the first time Reg had scolded Langdon like this, and it was also the first time Langdon had been scolded so harshly.

"Are you really doing this to my father? He's clearly helped you and that woman so much!"

"I'm sorry. But I'm not sorry for kicking you out, big brother. I'm sorry for raising you into such a fool."

"You, you actually..."

"Get out of here."

"I, it's all your fault, it's all your fault, it's all your fault..."

As if possessed, Langdon suddenly drew his dagger and tried to stab Reg.

"Brat, have you forgotten who taught you your fighting skills?!"

Reg dodged Langdon's dagger by moving sideways, grabbed his wrist and threw his body away.

"puff!"
