Novel Full Chapter 190 - Abestel Family's Secret Helper
"There's a high chance that he became ambitious and began eyeing the throne that your father currently occupies—that is why he got rid of you two," Albion said.
"I don't know if your tribe's tradition discriminates between genders when it comes to candidacy for the leadership position, but he was most likely trying to remove the successors before making his move on your father."
Human or not, it was evident that even if each race had its own code of moral conduct, there would always be a rotten egg within the group driven by greed and selfishness.
"If your uncle got rid of you himself, your people would talk and discover his ambition. But if you were to fall in the humans' hand and die in their lands, it would be a different story," Albion said before adding, "Still, you two were fortunate—because you met me."
"But the same cannot be said for the same for the rest of your siblings. If all your siblings also get kidnapped by humans, your people would also notice something is amiss. As such, your uncle will switch up his tactics."
"Perhaps the humans will launch a counterattack on the Glacia continent, and your other siblings will die one by one under the guise of falling to the humans in battle. Then, your uncle will ultimately take your father's head when he least expects it."
After Albion analyzed the hypothetical situation with an unfiltered mouth, he noticed that Fenriri had a look that was about to cry.
"Well—Of course, everything is just mere speculation! It might not come to fruition. Your uncle might not even be such a bad person I made him out to be. Perhaps, everything was just a coincidence."
Albion began speaking optimistically, but Fenriri's mood showed no signs of improvement as her eyes welled up with tears.
"Please don't cry… I cannot stand children crying… I said, don't cry, dammit—!" Albion stated firmly before he quickly softened up after seeing that it only made things worse, "Okay, okay, I will take you and your sister back to look."
"Perhaps, it's not too late and that they can still be saved. But if you cry, I won't take either of you two take a look, understand?"
Almost immediately after Albion stated his condition, Fenriri pursed her lips and held back her tears before they could overflow.
She nodded her head repeatedly afterward.
Phew!
'Crisis averted!'
Albion wiped the imaginary sweat on his forehead with relief before shaking his head with a sigh.
'I'm really not good with handling children. I need a caretaker who can look after them but also train them well,' he thought.
Glancing at Wuxin and Sally, the two seemed to have been shaken by the blood.
He patted their shoulders to soothe them before silently pondering, 'What kind of cultivation technique should I teach them, I wonder?'
'According to the Dark Emperor's memories, a powerful technique is not necessarily a good technique if it doesn't suit their physiques and attributes. So first, I should check their elemental alignment.'
Albion decided.
From time to time, Albion glanced in the directions of the three Bloodmoon Gang's groups to observe their situation.
'Still cornered but no reinforcement, huh? Seems like the Bloodmoon Gang won't be sending anyone else. I should wrap things up with them—Oh?'
Albion suddenly discovered a new arriving group before conflict quickly broke out between the hunters.
'Speak of the devil,' Albion smiled with an evil grin.
…
Meanwhile, Fenrira continued to dart from hunter to hunter at unbelievable speed thanks to her newfound strength before dishing a fatal blow to their hearts from behind like a true predator.
Ding!
<You have killed a Lv.22 Male Human (Elite)>
<You have gained 2290 EXP>
<You have leveled up>
<You have leveled up>
…
With each kill, her strength grew stronger.
None of her targets belonged to the other families. All of them were from the Abestel family—and only the Abestel family.
'Master did not explicitly state that I can't kill other humans, but I should not be greedy. I should only hunt those I have a feud with,' Fenrira thought.
Shortly after, she continued to pounce onto her next target.
At the same time, the sudden appearance of a cloaked figure 'assisting' the other hunters in their battle against the Abestel family did not go unnoticed.
"Such swift movements!" A Hunter praised before asking with a pleasant surprise, "Has reinforcements from the main family finally arrive?"
"That's shouldn't be the case. I don't see anyone else arriving, and the main family is not expected to come until they deal with the Abestel family's main force," another Hunter from the Vinci family spoke.
"Dammit, why is it taking so long for so many families to deal with a single Abestel family?" a Hunter said with frustration.
"You're asking me, but who do I ask? I would also like to know that!" a Newman family's hunter stated with equal frustration.
…
Silvercove city, Central District
At the new estate of the Abestel family, the main force of ten collective families gathered. With the overwhelming numbers and strength, it should have an easy victory.
However, reality never went according to one's expectations.
Ever since the hunters from the ten families entered the Abestel family's territory, they have experienced nothing but traps after traps—whether it was explosive traps or poisonous traps.
The damage they sustained was not little.
"Dammit, it's only been two days since the Abestel family moved into this compound! How could they have the time to set up so many traps?!" A Hunter spoke frustratedly.
After the group finally entered the building, they were led to an underground path—which the Abestel family's main forces used to retreat.
"This underground route isn't something that can be built in the span of two days either!" Another Hunter stated before they all arrived at a single conclusion.
"The Abestel family is working with someone very familiar with Silvercove city's layout and secret passages!"
In other words, it can only be a local—and not just any ordinary local either.
"Who is it? Who is conspiring with the Abestel family to scheme against our families?"
Bang!
Suddenly large steel doors slammed shut in the underground passageways before the group of hunters was effectively divided with their path of retreat cut off.
"Crap, it's a trap! We've been purposely lured here!" A Hunter exclaimed.
