Chapter 1140 Falling Into the Trick
Bolhom Family.
"What did you say?!" A muscular man shouted. His voice was filled with anger and sadness as his eyes focused on the guy that carried his son's corpse in front of him.
The atmosphere became cold because he loved his son so much that he spoiled him to the point the guy reached this point. And Theo took advantage of this situation to bring him out.
"Who was that guy? The one who killed my son? There was no grudge between us, but he actually dared to kill my son?" The man slammed the table.
"I… I don't know his identity, but he's not a local. He comes to this country to challenge Ergene." The Mythical Rank Expert Felix defeated earlier explained with a pale face. He had been losing too much blood this entire time.
If not because the Bolhom Family was far too strong, he would have escaped instead of sending the corpse back.
"Tell us everything about that man and what has happened! Your face is already pale because of the blood loss. If this continues, you'll die. That's why you should tell me everything you know. Depending on the amount of information, we'll decide whether to save you or not." Another middle-aged man opened his mouth.
They were inside a hall with at least twenty people inside. It seemed they were the important people of the family.
After hearing those words, the Mythical Rank Expert enthusiastically recounted every single scene, including Felix's strength.
Obviously, they were surprised by his explanation. It was clear that Felix was strong even among Mythical Rank Experts. If not, he wouldn't be able to cut a Mythical Rank Expert's hand in a single move.
"Bring everyone! Bring everyone out and chase him right now!" The muscular man was thoroughly angered when he listened to the explanation.
"I don't think it's wise to lead everyone to hunt these two down. They're not local after all… one wrong move can lead to an international dispute. As for him killing Baltu… no one witnessed what happened except that Ergene. It wouldn't be that easy to prosecute them." Another person raised his voice, stating his concern.
"Do you think I care? I want him dead!" The muscular man roared. "Do you know how painful it is to lose the son you loved so much?!"
"…" The people around him couldn't say anything. On the one hand, his behavior wasn't befitting that of the family's head. On the other hand, they knew how much he spoiled his son. There was no way he could calm himself down when someone from another country came and killed his son.
"Besides, we can't bring too many people. This news can't reach other organizations' ears, or they're going to weaken our influence. That's why we need to conceal Baltu's death!" Another one also voiced his concern.
However, his last statement was the trigger for the man's anger. Without hesitation, he shouted again, "Conceal his death? Do you want me to kill you?"
"No, no. The reason we need to conceal his death is because of the current situation. As soon as we can kill this person, we can tell the media everything. We can simply brand him a criminal, and he won't be able to do anything since he's dead.
"At the same time, we need to find his identity. Having a Mythical Rank Expert as an escort, I'm afraid this man's identity is not simple. I know that your heart is bleeding to see your son like this, but please don't forget your position."
His statement was filled with logic as this was the most reasonable thing to do. After all, the muscular man was the family head. He also needed to take care of this giant family as it was the responsibility of his power.
However, the man didn't buy it. He shouted back, "I don't care. I want him dead!"
"That's right. We also want the same. However, we also need to look at the bigger picture. Hence, we should send two or three Mythical Rank Experts instead of all… We don't know the extent of the other party's expert, but it's clear that he is not your average expert. That's why this number should be enough to restrain, if not kill him.
"And we will send twenty Supreme Rank Experts to handle the young man. With this number, even if the Mythical Rank Expert somehow breaks through the encirclement, he can't stop all twenty of them at the same time."
The people looked at each other and nodded their heads.
"That's logical."
"We should do it. This way, our family won't be affected, other influences won't know anything about this, and we can still avenge Baltu."
They agreed to this arrangement simply because it was more reasonable than the muscular man's argument.
Little did they know, Theo and even Ergene managed to predict this kind of movement. As expected from someone who received the blessing of a commander, Ergene would become the stabilizer for the group. Even if Theo wasn't there, Ergene should be able to fight back with her own strategy alone.
Albeit, even Ergene's insight was still too straightforward. Both the Bolhom Family and Ergene didn't realize that Theo's reason for killing the arrogant heir was for another reason.
Still, the man didn't hesitate to conclude the arrangement. "For now, we will mobilize our people to find those two first. We'll use the locals to lead us to them. Also, we need to send some people to Ergene to make sure she doesn't do anything. At the very least, she will be a good hostage for us since the other party wants to recruit her.
"The man should have expected us to come after him, so we need to kill him as soon as possible. We can't afford to have those men escape to another country. Make sure you keep an eye on the airport, the teleportation gate, and the border. The rest will prepare to attack them."
The logical guy completed his arrangement and asked, "What do you think about this? You should have no problem, right? After all, we can still avenge your son this way! With that number, it's possible to bring him alive. You can even do anything you want to him."
The muscular man furrowed his eyebrows as he needed to make the decision.
