Chapter 1475: Chapter 452: Murder for Spoils_2 Chapter 1475: Chapter 452: Murder for Spoils_2 ….

Sack sneered, “How does that matter? Anything the Simon House can afford, I can afford just as well.”

As he spoke, his tone was utterly impatient, “I’m asking you one last time, name your price!”

“…”

Scarface’s face had turned extremely ugly, but he was utterly helpless.

Hearing the other’s tone, he had already guessed that the man before him was no less distinguished than the Simon Family.

He could only be honest and said, “Distinguished guest, I won’t lie to you, I’m merely a shopkeeper. This shop is actually managed by… Young Master Ferren.”

Leonard Churchill listened without any sign of surprise.

Shops in the Black Market more or less all had backing.

Many nefarious forces were actually the dark hands groomed by major families.

But unfortunately, this fellow had mentioned a name that intensified the conflict.

Upon hearing this, Sack’s expression grew even colder, “Ferren?”

Scarface revealing his backer meant that the information he wanted was almost hopeless.

Coincidentally, at this moment, several people walked over from the path along the cliff’s edge.

They seemed to recognize Sack at a glance, and greeted him from afar with a strange tone, “Oh, who is this? What a coincidence?”

….

The newcomer was none other than Ferren, the legitimate heir of Duke Simon’s Family.

Moreover, the two young masters encountering each other in the Black Market was no coincidence.

The territories of Duke Landon and Duke Simon were adjacent, and their families had been at odds with each other for centuries, sworn enemies you could say.

After the news of Sack’s assassination attempt outside the city spread yesterday, Ferren naturally wanted to mock his adversary.

His informants had seen Sack and his group walking in the Adventurers’ Marketplace.

Upon inquiry, it turned out they had come to the Black Market.

He had initially wanted to see what his adversary was up to in the Black Market, only to find them in his own shop.

Simon immediately guessed the purpose of the visit and couldn’t let them succeed.

How could his family hand over information regarding the Emperor’s Relics, which they obtained not without difficulty?

…

Leonard Churchill also spotted that figure cloaked in a cloak but still recognizable by the signature green hair.

Duke Simon was a Green Dragon Descendant of the Five-Colored Dragon, skilled in controlling nature and poisons, and his family’s power was very strong.

Leonard Churchill recalled the intelligence he had obtained.

The other party had obviously come with unfriendly intentions.

Although Young Master Sack had Secret Guards, he was only accompanied by Leonard Churchill and Lizard Mage Serli, two Apprentice Knights.

Seeing this, the two men quietly moved to guard in front of Sack.

Sack’s expression was unsightly as he looked at the approaching figure.

He and the Ferren before him were of a similar age, with the hatred of their families carried on in their generation.

The two had clashed several times before.

Ferren looked at Sack, his taunting undisguised, “Yo, Young Master Sack, what brings you to the Black Market? Has the Landon Family fallen so low as to need to buy things from the Black Market?”

He looked at the dark-faced Sack, his smile growing even brighter as he answered his own question, “I heard someone was targeted for assassination in the outskirts forest yesterday? Couldn’t have been you, Sack, could it? Oh, how unfortunate. Those assassins were too amateurish, daring to make a move near the Royal Academy…”

There were layers of implicit meaning in his words.

Sentence after sentence was an insinuation.

This shop was owned by the Simon House, and Young Master Sack knew it was pointless to stay any longer.

But as he wanted to leave, the narrow walkway had already been blocked by the newcomers, trapping him.

Watching this group approach, Leonard Churchill stepped forward proactively, placing himself in front of Sack.

Lizard Mage Serli, seeing this, did the same.

Whether they could win the fight or not, a knight’s duty was always to protect their household.

Ferren, blocked by the two men from a face-to-face taunting, didn’t even bother to look at them and coldly ordered, “Move.”

“…”

Yet Leonard Churchill was unmoved.

He just looked at him expressionlessly.

However, he was increasingly amused at heart.

A mental calculation offered no doubt about what would happen next.

This fellow had come looking for provocation on purpose.

The reason?

Of course, because the Landon Family controlled the best land on the Old Continent, which might even become “the fourth kingdom” in the future.

It was an opportunity, but hidden dangers lurked as well.

Because there were too many coveting the Thunder Dragon City port territory.

As a sworn enemy, the Simon House would certainly not sit by and watch its adversary grow stronger.

Moreover, the Southern Great Road was a place where strength reigned supreme; conflicts among Dragon Descendants were always settled by war.

A conflict would lead to many turning their backs on the Landon Family.

Ferren before him was here to exacerbate the tensions.

…

Leonard Churchill’s squad’s bravery had been recognized by Sack during the assassination attempt.

Now, although the young master didn’t speak, he had silently taken note.

Indeed, bringing them along had been the right choice.

Their guarding behavior preserved the little dignity Sack had left in this situation.

Seeing the two Apprentice Knights unmoved,

Ferren glanced at them and threatened coldly, “Seeking death?”

Leonard Churchill didn’t pay attention, continuing to be expressionless.

Serli was slightly nervous, but seeing that Leonard Churchill didn’t move, he stayed put as well.

Loyal knights only had eyes for their Family Head and didn’t care about the prestige of the enemy.

“Heh.”

Ferren felt ignored by the two apprentice knights, a flicker of murderous intent in his eyes, but he laughed coldly and said nothing more.

To him, even one more word to such lowly knights was beneath his dignity.

Instead, Ferren, ignoring the two lackeys, continued to mock his rival, asking, “Buying something from my shop, Sack? Tell me what you want directly.”

“…”

Of course, Sack wouldn’t respond.

Before he even thought of leaving, Ferren turned and asked the shopkeeper, “Scarface, what does Young Master Sack want to buy?”

Scarface’s eyelid twitched, he didn’t have the courage of a knight, but he knew that one more word from him at this moment was like adding another noose around his own neck.
