The houses collapsed one after another, and a beam was placed on the half-collapsed wall. Under the dim light of the fire, smoke rose. The Brandon family had fallen into chaos. As for the two men in black robes, they had already disappeared.
Butler Dyna was walking in the ruins, trembling. Looking at the tragic scene around him, he was in full grief, in which there was a trace of hatred.
“Master Brandon is dead.”
Clenching his fists, Butler Dyna’s eyes were full of killing intent. No matter who you were, the Brandon family would not let it go. They would definitely make you pay with your blood!
“Mr. Dyna, what should we do now?”
A guard asked with red eyes as he looked at the destroyed manor.
Butler Dyna took a deep breath, regained his former calmness and said calmly, “Wait… Wait for Mr. Count to come back!”
“Mr. Dyna!”
At the same time, a guard ran over in a hurry and stammered, “The magic crystal cannon… is missing!”
Hearing this, Butler Dyna gritted his teeth with strong hatred. That was a level-6 magic crystal cannon! It took the Brandon family a lot of money to get it. It had always been the secret weapon of the Brandon family, but now it was gone?
Just as Butler Dyna was burning with anger, another guard rushed up. The moment he saw the guard’s face, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
The guard’s face was extremely pale, and he was in a panic. He knelt on the ground with a flop and said in despair, “The treasure house is gone.”
With his eyes wide open, Butler Dyna grabbed the guard by the collar and grabbed him from the ground. He stared at the guard and roared, “What do you mean? The treasure house is gone!”
Under the murderous gaze of Butler Dyna, the guard sobered up a little. His voice trembled slightly and was about to cry. “All the things in the treasure house are gone!”
Boom!
Butler Dyna let go of the guard’s collar and staggered back a little, almost falling to the ground. The treasure house was the lifeblood of the family. It was all gone!
Puff!
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Butler Dyna finally couldn’t hold on and fell asleep.
Although the Brandon family had blocked all the entrances and exits, the huge flames and explosions could not be hidden. Half an hour later, all the other forces received the news that the Brandon family was attacked.
The Brandon family was attacked by a mysterious master!
The news spread among all the forces in an instant.
Everyone was shocked when they heard the news. The Brandon family was one of the most powerful families in Naton County. Now it was on the rise and could compete with the Hyman family. How could such a powerful family be attacked?
Besides, the Brandon family had suffered a great loss.
The Bazel family and other families, who had received the news and rushed to support the Brandon family, gasped at the miserable situation of the Brandon family. They knew the defense of the Brandon family, but even under such a strong defensive power, it was still so miserable!
When the Brandon family was in chaos, Locke and Athena, the two “culprits”, were enjoying their meal.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Thanatos.”
Seeing the person who opened the door for him, Mallory was a little surprised. He didn’t expect this cold-faced man to open the door for him. When he came to his senses, he craned his neck and looked into the yard. “Are Mr. Locke and Miss Athena there?”
Thanatos didn’t reply but turned around.
Although they hadn’t known each other for a long time, Mallory knew what kind of person he was. So he didn’t get angry but followed him to the courtyard.
In the courtyard, Locke was concentrating on grilling a piece of magical beast meat, while Sleipnir was taking a nap. The powerful girl was reading a book, but she would occasionally glance at the grilled meat in Locke’s hand.
The whole yard smelled like meat.
“Hey, Mallory, you have a good nose. How could you know that we are making barbecue?”
Locke concentrated on grilling the meat in his hand and sprinkled pepper on it.
After saluting Athena, Mallory slowly sat down beside the bonfire. He looked at Locke for a while and said, “The Brandon family was attacked just now.”
“Oh,” replied Locke, expressionless.
Didn’t he do it? Looking at the unchanged expression on Locke’s face, Mallory even doubted his guess. According to the information from the spy, there were two people attacking the Brandon family. The Brandon family used the level-6 magic crystal cannon, but the two were still safe and sound.
In the entire Naton County, except for Locke and the powerful young girl behind him, he really didn’t know that there would be anyone else who could have such strength.
Therefore, the moment he got the news, Mallory immediately came to Locke’s residence to find out what was going on.
At the same time, Mallory suddenly caught a glimpse of the bruises on Locke’s wrist.
It was this guy who did it! Mallory thought quietly.
“Most of the buildings of the Brandon family have been destroyed.” Seeing that Locke didn’t say a word, Mallory sighed and said, “This time it leads to a heavy loss.”
Locke still didn’t say anything. He picked up the roasted meat and put it on the plate on the table next to him. He cut it into 4 pieces with a knife and pushed the plate with steak in front of Athena. Then he gave one to Sleipnir and Thanatos respectively.
Then he picked up the last dish and put it on the small table next to Mallory. He asked with a smile, “Are you coming to ask me to celebrate with fireworks?”
Hearing Locke’s words, Mallory’s mouth twitched. He rolled his eyes, grabbed the knife and fork on the small table, cut a small piece of beef and fed it to his mouth.
The moment the beef was put into his mouth, Mallory was a little stunned and was impressed by the roast meat in an instant. Well, he had to admit that the roast meat in front of him was more attractive than the matter of the Brandon family.
Half an hour later, Mallory put down the knife and fork and said with satisfaction, “Most of the magic books have been copied. It should be finished before you leave.”
Just then, an owl flew into the garden. With a wave of Mallory’s hand, the letter from the owl’s mouth floated to his hand. This was the owl he used to deliver emergency messages.
There were only two rows of words on the letter, and Mallory finished reading in a few seconds.
After reading the letter, Mallory threw it into the fire. Under the fire, the white letter was rolled up, turning from white to yellow, from yellow to black at a visible speed, and finally turned into ashes.
After burning the letter, Mallory looked at Locke with a strange look on his face. “How cruel he is!” He thought.
The old count was killed, and the level-6 magic crystal cannon was stolen. The treasure house was emptied.
“The eventful time is coming.” He couldn’t help but sigh. Seeing that Locke didn’t respond at all and still looked as if it was none of his business, he didn’t stay long and left the courtyard.
“I am going to recover from the injury, too.”
Locke didn’t waste any time. He left the plate and went upstairs. Athena went on reading. Sleipnir was asleep, while Thanatos was clearing up the table in silence.
