Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1020: Noble Daughters of Wealthy Families

The door of the carriage opened and Alan jumped out of it.

Elyse's face was filled with joy. No matter how proud she was, she had no choice but to ask Ellen for help, "Help me!"

Alan smiled and said, "Sure, double the reward."

"You're taking advantage of this!" Elyse shouted angrily and then added unwillingly, "I owe you first."

"Deal. Get in the car." Alan turned away.

Elyse took the opportunity to dodge into the carriage. Edward raised his hand expressionlessly and the door closed automatically.

"Damn it!"

The assassin leader who was chasing Elyse out of the shop selling fur saw this scene. Their assassin organization was also quite famous in the Dark World. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to take on such a mission. Originally, everything had been calculated by the leader, but only the slightest detail of luring Elyse into the mansion had been omitted. However, this was nothing. With the strength of the top killers in their organization, it was not easy to surround and kill a woman below Level 20.

However, what he never expected was that Elyse actually had such a powerful killing weapon in his hand. This caused the leader to be shocked and furious. In the information provided by the employer, it did not state this point. If they knew that Elyse was furious with lightning, they wouldn't dare to close in on him and would instead use long-range sniping or other methods to complete the mission. More importantly, thunder rage wasn't something anyone could possess. At that time, the employer only told them that Elyse was a child of a wealthy family, but did not say which family he came from. Now that Elyse had taken out his Thunder Rage, the only clans in the empire that could possess such a military strategy-level killing weapon were the few clans in the empire. Regardless of which one of them was involved, none of them could afford to offend this assassin organization.

Only then did the killer leader know that the employer had secretly set him up. Now, even if he didn't complete the mission, he would still be hunted down by the family behind Elyse. Therefore, the only choice left was to continue to complete the mission and take the money. Only by leaving the empire would there be a chance of survival.

That bolt of lightning raged and killed most of the elites in his hands on the spot. Only because of the distance between him and the other two killers, they were able to avoid being caught in the heart of the explosion in time, could they escape the calamity. Now that she was about to catch up with Elyse, she saw that she was "flirting" with the young man who got off a carriage in the road. After hearing their words, the so-called deal was completed, and Elyse got into the other party's carriage. The killer leader's eyes almost spat out fire. How could he fail such an incomparably important task for them? Seeing that the man had the intention of blocking the path, the leader screamed, "Kill him."

On the other hand, he moved sideways and flashed, wanting to bypass the man blocking the way and rush into the carriage.

Red King didn't bring Alan with him when he went to the banquet tonight. However, the devil's praise was still there. He immediately touched his waist and held the dagger in his hand. When the devil praised him, he had already turned into a black and a red, a long and a short knife.

Death hymn!

Without seeing how he moved, a black mist suddenly emerged from the middle of the street. The black mist condensed and did not disperse, slowly rising. In just one breath's time, it had risen to several meters high, forming a mist that could not be blown away by the wind, enveloping the killers. The red blade in Allen's hand swirled, and he sank into the black mist with ease. Then a few shrill cries came from the mist, with an indescribable fear, as if they had seen something terrible.

Elyse's eyes widened. Even the outlaws weren't so scared when faced with the fury of thunder. She racked her brains to think of nothing in Allen's black mist that would make them cry out like this. She could only see red light flickering in the black mist from time to time. They drew a tense arc, and after a few strikes, there was no movement in the black mist at all.

Then the black mist began to dissipate. When the mist completely disappeared, Alan was the only one standing in the middle of the street. As for the three killers, they were all lying on the road. Two of them shrunk into a ball like dried corpses. The battle clothes that originally fitted them looked a little empty at this moment. As for the leader, before he died, his mask had already fallen off, revealing a wrinkled face that looked like an old man.

Elyse was stunned. His voice didn't sound as old as it was now. Looking at the two dried corpses, Elyse shivered for no reason. She guessed the connection between the two.

Alan squatted down and asked, "Who wants to kill her?"

The leader laughed dryly and answered the wrong question, "You dare to make a move even if you don't know who you will provoke. Haha, I will wait for you in hell."

"Oh, alright then. But I probably won't go to that place so early." Allen's body lit up with a flame mark and pressed his hand against the leader's body. The leader's entire body immediately turned red, and then flames sprayed out from his eyes and mouth. It wasn't just him, even the two dried corpses began to spit out vermilion sky flames from the inside out. When the city guards heard the news, there were only three charred corpses left.

The captain of the city guard was a Bucks officer. After whispering a few words to him, he saluted Allen and said, "Sir Alan, what happened here?"

Ellen glanced at Elyse on the carriage and said indifferently, "I just passed by. These people wanted to kill me, so I had no choice but to make a move. Unfortunately, I don't know where they came from, but I'm sure the Bucks will be able to find out the truth."

The officer wasn't stupid either. He knew what Alan was hiding and didn't even forget to drag the Bucks into the water. However, this happened in Sardinia City. Even Slyn could not reveal the attack on an Empire viscount, let alone an officer like him. At this moment, he could only bravely say, "Sir, please rest assured that the Bucks will thoroughly investigate to the end."

Ellen nodded and smiled, "With your words, I'm relieved. After all, I still have to stay in Sardinia for a few days."

He climbed into the carriage and bowed slightly to the Bucks before closing the door. The officer had to stand straight and salute the carriage. Only when the carriage was far away did he let out a sigh of relief. Then, with a frown, he looked at the charred corpses on the ground and shouted, "What are you still waiting for? Bring the corpses back first, and then inform Officer Witt to come take a look!"

In the car, Alan stared at Elyse. The latter was so uncomfortable that he couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?"

"I want to see how many secrets you have on you. Otherwise, why would you provoke these assassins? Furthermore, it depends on when you will confess honestly. I'm not afraid of causing trouble, but if you don't know what to do, I'll have to consider whether or not to invite you out of the car." Alan smiled and said, "Miss Elyse can think about it when you see that there's still a little time left in the hotel. If you don't want to say anything, you can get out of the car when you get to the hotel."

"Just don't come up again after you get down."

Elyse bit his lips, and a hesitant expression flashed across his face. Ellen wasn't in a hurry, and even leisurely looked out the window at night. After a while, Elyse's voice sounded in his ears, "Alright, I'm from the Boleyn family, and I'm Elizabeth Boleyn, the sister of the Duke of Yuan Hua."

Although he had already guessed that Elyse's origins were definitely not simple, when he heard this, Alan's entire body still trembled. He quickly exchanged glances with Edward and saw the shock in the eyes of both parties. Of the four dukes of the empire, only this generation's Archduke Yuan Hua was a young woman. The Bolin Clan's Grand Duchess position was hereditary, and amongst the top families of the empire, it was an evergreen gate that stood for hundreds of years without collapsing. josei

This clan was very low-key, but there was no doubt about its deep roots. No matter how rich Alan's imagination was, he never expected Elyse to be the Grand Duke's younger sister. In this way, she had a reasonable explanation for her arrogance.

Allen quickly suppressed the shock in his heart and frowned, "If that's the case, why did the Grand Yuanhua Guild leave you alone, let alone send experts from the clan to protect you, thus attracting an attack? Also, what is the origin of those fellows who want to kill you?"

Elyse snorted and turned his face away. "I escaped. Of course, there won't be any experts from the clan following me."

"Escape?" Alan didn't know whether to laugh or cry at the unexpected answer.

"Strange? If it were you, from the moment you sensed it, you would have to live according to your family's arrangements. From daily life to interest cultivation, even what kind of friends you make are strictly screened by your family. I've had enough of these days, so as soon as the invitation from the Marquis of Iron Spear arrived, my sister and I went on a ritual and waited for an opportunity to escape so that we could breathe some air of freedom. " Elyse said confidently. Then, his expression became somewhat gloomy. "Of course, I know that I can't be so willful. So, after leaving Iron Spear Ridge, I prepared to go to Sardinia to contact my family and return to the Northern Lands. I just didn't expect …"

"Who would have thought that someone would know your whereabouts and plan to kill you?" '"Miss Elyse, you saw it too. Because of you, I seem to have accidentally fallen into another big trouble. So you'd better tell me who is going to harm the Boleyn Family. At least I know who to guard against and who to be careful of."

Elyse laughed, "You should know what a tree is." Our Bolin Clan is one of the top rich clans in the empire, and we have many enemies. There are so many enemies in the empire that we can't even count them. How do I know who will attack me this time? However, they are quite courageous. This time, I will definitely not leak any news of my escape from the clan. Therefore, the royal family does not know my whereabouts. "If I die, I can naturally blame the killer organizations that took on the mission. I can also attack the Boleyn Family. It's really a profitable business."

"I'm sure those stupid killers don't even know who I am. If they did, they wouldn't dare to take on this kind of job."

Alan wasn't opposed to this point. No assassin organization in the Dark World would be hostile to a monster like the Boleyn Clan. It was simply courting death!
