Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 928: The Earl Goes South (1)

Remington didn't regain his senses until he stood in front of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. He pinched his thigh and confirmed that he was not dreaming. Only then did he confirm that he was the owner of Mountain City. In this short week, his life had undergone a 180-degree transformation, which was completely unimaginable in the past. It wasn't that Remington hadn't thought of being a son that Yopuni would approve of. Even a low-level mercenary like Darang had a lot of ambitions. As the son of a count, would he be a top noble in Mountain City?

Unfortunately, Yopuni was too outstanding in many ways, so outstanding that Remington had no room to survive. He watched Yopuni gradually gain favor in front of his father and saw that his father would discuss with Yopuni every time something big happened, leaving his second son to the side. Remington began to understand that his father did not need him.

So he began to indulge himself, immersed his ambitions and ambitions in alcohol, buried them in the woman's plump twin peaks, and finally dissipated.

Until that night, Alan gave him a chance to beat his heart out. He was glad that he had caught it, so now he was the new owner of Mountain City. Remington looked in the direction of the city gate again. Although he couldn't see anything from here, he still remembered the head hanging on the city wall. He still remembered how he had slashed Gonzalez apart that night.

Remington rubbed his neck. Just as he said, he didn't want to follow Gonza's footsteps.

He walked into the City Lord's Mansion.

In the study, he saw Justin, an aide to Rackett, who had changed allegiance to Remington the night after the old count's death. Remington did not refuse. Justin knew a lot about Mountain City, even more than Remington. With his help, it would at least be much easier for Remington to manage Mountain City during this period of time. Remington sat down and Justin hesitated. "You want to ask what Remington said about Parson?" Lord Alan snorted.

Justin said with a serious expression, "My worries are not without purpose. You must know that Young Master Parson will never escape on his own that night. So there must have been someone secretly attacking. I'm afraid that the lord ordered it, so things will become incomparably complicated."

"Then you can rest assured now. Lord Alan means that I can do whatever I want." Remington smiled sinisterly and said, "It would be fine if Parson escaped from Mountain City. For the sake of a brother, I can turn a blind eye to him. But if he wants to die, I don't mind playing with him. I'd like to know what the fistula guy is going to fight me with."

Justin said in a deep voice, "If it wasn't for that lord, it would be best. But lord shouldn't look down on Young Master Parson. Although the lord didn't say anything on the surface, I know that he still dotes on Young Master Parson. I'm afraid that the lord has left something behind for Young Master Parson."

Remington narrowed his eyes and swept away the odds and ends of the table with one hand. "That old man really hates me the most. Good, good, good. He valued Yopuni the most, and now Yopuni is dead. He loves Parson, so I'll send his beloved son to hell to meet him!"

"Justin, find Parson for me!"

It was night, and there were a lot of traffic in front of the Diamond Empress Theatre. To celebrate the inauguration of the new master of Mountain City, the theatre performed for three days free of charge. This was the last day, and the Mountain City Theater was about to burst out from the crowd. Ollie wasn't affected by the turmoil, but because of her relationship with Parson, she was thrown off the bench by the theater. Thinking back to the days when he had Parson as his backer, even the theater owner had a cold and warm expression when he saw her. Now that her backer was gone, even the doorman dared to look at her chest, his eyes filled with frivolity and rudeness.

Ollie was angry in her heart, but she didn't dare to reveal it on the surface, feeling helpless.

The theatre had been bustling these past three days, but she hadn't arranged for any of her programs. Ollie knew the theatre was ordering her to leave on her own, so as not to implicate the whole theatre. Ollie knew that even if she pretended not to leave, she would only make the theatre lose face and rush over.

She has decided to leave the theatre and Mountain City tomorrow.

So at this moment, she was silently packing her luggage in her room. Suddenly, someone knocked gently on the door. Ollie raised her head in confusion, not knowing who else was looking for her. Suddenly, a strange feeling flashed through his heart. Could it be him? Ollie hurriedly ran to the door and opened it, but there was no one outside. She looked melancholy and was about to close the door and go back to her room when she saw a bouquet of roses lying on the ground.

It was really him! Ollie couldn't care less and ran out of the theater. But the streets were full of people, so where was Parson?

A carriage passed by the gate of the theatre.

On the carriage, Parson only lifted the curtains and looked at the cold figure of the woman at the door. He sighed heavily.

"Young Master Parson, don't do this in the future. Something will happen."

Sitting opposite Parson, Sbraden said.

Parson nodded and said, "Mr. Sbraden, why haven't I heard of you from father before?"

"Because of this, Young Master Remington doesn't know about me. Otherwise, how can he guarantee Young Master Parson's safety? Don't worry, I'll see a few familiar faces in a while. With our support, who will belong to Mountain City in the end is still unknown."

Parson said "hmm".

Spraider smiled and remained silent. The most exciting part of Edward's plan was his support for Parsons. There were indeed a few familiar faces that Parsons knew, so Parsons believed that all of this was left to him by Lackard. Edward's plan ended here, sowing the seeds of discord and igniting the flames of civil strife in Mountain City. Edward didn't care who the city belonged to, nor did Alan. In any case, they were the final winners.

The more the winter ends, the colder the weather becomes.

Even in the south, the water was now frozen. Even though there were dozens of trade routes connecting the north and south in the empire, there were few merchant groups in the country at this time. Unless it was a short-distance trade route, few business travelers would still be on the trade route at such a time.

Jing Tie Town was located between the Land of Darkness and Iron Spear Ridge, and was very close to one of the north-south trade routes. During the spring and summer, there were more business trips to and from the north and south, and they usually settled in Jingtie Town. Therefore, most of the taverns and hotels in the town were taverns and hotels. But in this cold winter, both bars and hotels are in a slump. Apart from a few large bars and hotels, the rest are largely closed during the winter.

Purple Mulberry Flower was a hotel in the town that was open as usual, and the hotel itself also operated the tavern business. On the first floor of the hotel was a bar, which provided great convenience for the business trip to the inn. However, the weather this week was extremely cold, and even a few short-distance caravans traveling between Iron Spear Ridge and the surrounding territories had disappeared, causing the Purple Mulberry Flower's business to become sluggish.

However, this evening, a caravan entered Jing Tie Town and headed straight for the Purple Mulberry Flower Hotel, making the hotel a little more lively.
