The bone of sin domain is king

Chapter 145 No.20 Act Five. The End of the Betrayer
Jerome's eyes widened. Until now, he couldn't believe that he was betrayed by President Levi.

The man in front of him has a big belly, wearing a long silk gown, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and looking at Jerome with deadly eyes.

"Your father was a good man, but too stupid."

President Levi said contemptuously, he took a sip of red wine, and looked at the suppressed Jerome again.

Davos was standing near the door, holding the sword in his hand. His original drunken posture had long since disappeared, but he had no choice but to face the two swordsmen who held Jerome hostage. Kill one, and the other will kill Jerome in the blink of an eye.

"I thought you had a little conscience."

Jerome said through gritted teeth.

He followed the butler into the room, and after a few words with President Levi, he was restrained by the guards on both sides, while Davos was forced to retreat after a few strokes, forming the current stalemate.

"Conscience? I'm a businessman. If you can't make the most profit, then conscience is just empty talk."

President Levi put down his wine glass, stood up, and kicked Jerome in the stomach, causing the boy to twist his face and bend over in pain.

"Times have changed, Jerome. I originally sent you out of the shallow sea for your father's sake, to leave a seed for the Faramir family. As long as you never come back in this life, no one will care about your life or death." .”

He stepped on Jerome's face with a calm tone, completely opposite to the dangerous atmosphere in his words.

"I didn't expect you to be so stupid. You know, as long as you are in the shallow sea, the members of the Council of Elders have ten thousand ways to make you die without a place to bury you."

"You'll pay the price, Levi!"

Blood welled up in Jerome's mouth as he struggled to speak.

"No one will come to rescue you. The Olihara family boy wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble a few years ago. As for the two guards you brought, they must have been shot into sieves by crossbow arrows."

As soon as Levi finished speaking, there was only a loud noise, and there was a clear sound of bones breaking from the next room, which made everyone's hearts tremble.

"Look, I'm an assassin hired at a huge price. I've traveled across the shallow sea for several years and haven't missed a single shot."

"is it?"

From outside the room, came a retort question.

"Who?"

Levi became a little nervous, took two steps back, and watched a person slowly appear from the door with a head in his hand.

It's Rosen.

bang——

He threw the head and it fell straight into the delicious food on the table. It was the assassin's wide-eyed and frightened expression.

"how come!!?"

Levi felt a chill rising up. The assassin was a peak-level black iron warrior. He could handle most situations in this shallow sea. The swordsman in front of him could actually defeat him in such a short time. Is it still not a bronze rank?

He glanced at Jerome again, wondering where this kid found such a strong guy, and at the same time secretly touched the amulet in his pocket.

This is a talisman that can be used for short-distance teleportation in critical moments. It is treasured by Levi as a means of saving his life. Although he is very distressed to use this at the moment, compared with his own life, the cost is not worth it .

"Jerome, it seems that you came prepared."

Levi leaned his back against the wall, and the two swordsmen holding Jerome also felt Rosen's terror, and sweat oozed from his forehead.

"Stop this guy for me!"

Levi gave the order and held the amulet tightly while the two swordsmen were taking action, silently reciting the activation spell.

But to his surprise, the surrounding scenery did not change at all, he was still in the room, no matter whether it was Jerome, Rosen or Davos, there was no change, the only difference was that the two swordsmen were already around. First different place.

"what?"

With a slight snort, Levi used the amulet again, but there was still no change, and he almost began to wonder if he had bought a fake one.

"Don't bother. It's not easy to analyze a magic item of that level."

The one who spoke was the black-haired girl who appeared from behind Rosen, her golden eyes sparkling and dazzling.

With just a wave of Tia's hand, the amulet in Levi's hand quickly lost its luster and turned into an ordinary thing, without any special abilities.

"Mage! Two bronze ranks!!?"

Only then did Levi realize that he was really in trouble. His legs were shaking, his heartbeat was racing, and he looked at Jerome.

"Jerome, I didn't expect you to get the help of so many powerful people. It seems that the recovery of Istar is just around the corner. Listen to me, I was just pretending before. After all, the Senate Council has many eyes and ears, so I can't"

Before he finished speaking, Rosen kicked him away, causing Levi to fly up and hit the wall, making a shallow hole.

"Levi, did my father's death have anything to do with you?"

Jerome had already figured out a lot of things at this time, he questioned, only the flames of anger in his eyes.

".I was also forced to be helpless."

Levi still wanted to beg for mercy, but Jerome had already picked up the long sword on the ground and pierced the man's chest.

"Go and beg my father for mercy."

Jerome closed his eyes slightly.

"I thought he could be trusted, but I didn't expect it to be like this. You should have known it a long time ago, right? The strength of these people can't be hidden from you."

He glanced again at Levi, who was lying on the ground.

"I just want to teach you a lesson. As a ruler, you should not trust anyone."

Tia said lightly, looking at the corpse on the ground, she frowned.

"Fine, I see."

Jerome smiled helplessly, and continued.

"It seems that the assistance from the Istar Chamber of Commerce is not enough. We can only seek help from the Iron Wolf Guard."

"How do you know that the Iron Wolf Guard will not betray you like this guy?"

Rosen asked, mentioning the Iron Wolf Guard, he remembered that the other party seemed to owe him a debt of favor.

"Captain Allen of the Iron Wolf Guards has been suspended for many years, and he doesn't like the council of elders. My father saved his life back then. For this reason, he made a blood oath to protect the Faramir family until his death. Fang Xiu."

Jerome replied, but the expression on his face did not look any less relaxed.

"Of course, we have to use some means to test or even force him, so that he has to sit in the same boat as us."

"Very reasonable."

Tia looked at Jerome with admiration. The young man seemed to have matured a lot after this incident, and his eyes were a little sharper.

"In that case, I have a suggestion."

On a whim, Rosen decided to make good use of his favor.
