Chapter 564 Turnaround
While Mabel and Aiken were ready to act, the man and woman about to free Simon arrived at this man’s house as if nothing strange was happening.
They usually went there to bring supplies to this family since they had to deal with such matters daily as servants of House Frost.
Because of this, when the two entered that house, at first, Mabel and Aiken just frowned, thinking that they were there by coincidence.
The guards on the outskirts of that residence did not suspect anything either, allowing them to enter without difficulty.
After entering, it didn’t take long for them to move toward where Simon was smiling in anticipation of his freedom.
The man said in a low voice. “We must act quickly. The allies of our group are already waiting for the moment to begin the attack. We must incite the flames of rebellion urgently!”
The woman began manipulating the formation sealing Simon’s cultivation while this man asked. “How are our inner allies? Ready for what comes next?” 𝐞𝐨𝘃𝐞𝐥.
“Yes, his supporters within the Frost family just need to see you free, and they will join the rest of us.” That man commented as he saw the three residents of that house smiling with the good development of their affairs.
Hearing that, Mabel clenched her fists as Aiken narrowed his eyes, noting that these people were the enemies they had been expecting.
‘Are there still more infiltrators?’ He thought angrily, noting the number of enemies within their property.
Mabel realized this as well but no longer held back.
In a flash, she went towards those people, appearing behind the woman about to release Simon.
“What?” The man in front of Simon, informing him about the situation in this family, was surprised that Mabel appeared there.
Simon and his family members also opened their eyes in shock at this change in events before Aiken appeared behind that man who looked like a mortal.
“Shit…” The woman about to release Simon said in a low voice as Mabel crushed her neck.
She was a cultivator and not a mortal. But still, she was only at level 12. In the face of Mabel’s overwhelming power, this infiltrator into House Frost met her end in a few moments!
“Worms, you’re all going to die!” She said as she let go of the body of that woman dressed as a servant, looking at the other people there while Aiken was already overpowering that man.
He was a little stronger than the dead woman at Mabel’s feet. But still, he was at level 14, weaker than Aiken, who was at the peak of level 15.
Thus, this man faced difficulties withstanding Aiken, who had acted unawares against him and already landed a blow on him.
Aiken quickly removed the mobility of one of that man’s legs with his initial blow and was now trying to overpower him on the ground.
Simon paled as he realized their situation, still with his cultivation sealed, unable to do anything.
But he managed to shout to his wife and son. “Run!”
“Humph! Do you think you have the right?” Mabel asked coldly, tired of these people who continued to have dangerous ideas against their family even after being caught in treason.
She then moved, throwing two blows, one in the direction of Simon’s wife, the other in the direction of the son.
Since these people had conspired with Simon, they had no salvation. Even if they were both fragile in front of her, this woman would have no mercy on their souls.
And with that, as those two feared the end, crying out for Simon’s name, their bodies were crushed by Mabel’s attacks, signaling the end of their existence.
Simon saw this and screamed with all his breath as tears of blood began to flow from his eyes.
He fell to his knees on the ground but was faced with the power of a Silver-grade formation; he had no chance to free his cultivation and try to do something about the situation.
Mabel did not pity this traitor, nor did she expect him to deliver the location of the infiltrators in this family. So after showing the end of Simon’s wife and son, she took him by the neck, looking into his eyes as she strangled him.
“That’s your end, worm.”
Those were the last words Simon heard before he died at Mabel’s hands, having departed this world extremely disappointed and full of bitterness.
As his body fell to the ground, a small glowing dot momentarily appeared below him, falling to the underground of that area…
No one in the surrounding area paid any attention, setting Simon’s lifeless body aside.
Mabel looked at the other man, already practically immobilized by Aiken, and used her spiritual pressure to finish overpowering that opponent.
“Tell me who the other infiltrators in the family are, and I will release you alive.” She said in a tone charged with a desire to kill as Aiken went to her side.
He said. “Make the right choice. My family and allies know your faction’s plan to act against us through a rebellion and invasion. Then we will not be defeated. It is your group that will be exterminated today.
But you don’t have to die with all of them!”
That man felt suffocated not only by Mabel’s cultivation pressure but also by his discovery.
He couldn’t help but shiver in fear as he thought more about it.
‘Even if he is lying, Simon is dead! Without him, the Frost family nobles will not rebel and be able to rally against the invasion about to happen.
In this situation, my chance of dying will significantly increase, and even if I survive, the losses from this event will cost me punishment from my family!’ He concluded that he could lose less if he accepted the deal these people had for him.
“Very well, I will tell you who they are as long as you assure me I can leave this place alive!” He said with difficulty.
“We promise.” The two said simultaneously, signaling that they would not break their words.
That man saw that and felt he had no choice but to follow through with this so he could live. “There are other infiltrators in that family, but they are not many. They are…”
That man quickly delivered the identities of each person placed within that family by powers from the empire’s capital.
After hearing that, Mabel immediately left from there, heading towards the likely locations of those people, something this man also gave them.
As for Aiken, he looked disgustedly at that man before making a final decision about that person.
“I will release you, Mark, if that is your name. But before that, leave your cultivation behind!” That man said angrily, feeling his calm personality cooling a few degrees as a blade of ice appeared between his fingers.
Then, as that person trembled with fear, pale to the extreme, Aiken ripped the spiritual gland from the base of that man’s head, not killing him but crippling him.
“Nooooooooooooo!”
