A minute ago, in a quiet forest opposite the lake, a dark figure squatted half-crouched hidden in the commanding heights of the forest.

While getting a good and wide view, the dense branches obscured his figure. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to tell that there was another person hiding in the tree.

"Count Viconi, due to the stability of the kingdom, we cannot attack you directly. Killing your daughter is more than enough."

The killer took a deep breath, murderous intent flashed in his eyes, reached out and took out the arrow bow from his back,

As one of the top three assassins in the kingdom, he is confident that he can kill with one blow even from a distance of hundreds of meters.

Nocking the arrow, the arrow arced with lightning, and the shining purple electric light crackled. The killer held his breath and waited for the perfect opportunity through the magical eagle eyes.

"Since you have chosen to go against us, then live in pain and regret forever until you see your family members die one by one."

The killer lay dormant for a long time. Suddenly, his pupils shrank and he decisively shot the arrow he had carefully prepared for a long time.

"boom!"

The arrow shot out of the string, shaking the air.

In his sight, the body of the Viconi daughter took two steps forward, and he could see the fatal parts of her body.

"She's dead."

The killer came to the conclusion that due to professionalism, he wanted to watch Tia die with his own eyes.

Staring at the light of the arrow that was about to penetrate her body, Count Viconi, the only one who could resist his arrow, seemed to have not yet reacted and was still saying something.

As for the other young man from the Cageno family, he was nothing but air.

And it was this person whom he regarded as air who, in his astonishment, caught the arrow he shot with one hand.

"impossible!"

Because he was so shocked, he subconsciously shouted out.

The killer knows very well how powerful his arrows are. How much strength does it take to catch the main arrow with his bare hands?

The information I investigated was not as strong as Rhodes’ intelligence!

Even though he single-handedly rescued Claire from a gang of thieves not long ago, he selectively ignored it.

What is a thief? He's just a piece of trash that doesn't even have magic power.

You can't blame him for being negligent. It's actually Rhode's age that is deceptive, causing the killer to subconsciously ignore Rhode's existence.

Reality taught me a hard lesson.

The killer opened his mouth and sighed silently.

"It was a mistake. I'll find another chance next time."

The killer calmly accepted his shortcomings.

After memorizing Rhodes' name silently, he became determined to regain the situation later.

Just as he was about to leave, the killer's body suddenly froze. In his eagle eyes, he saw Rhodes' face facing his direction, with an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling.

Separated by hundreds of meters, there were continuous forests around to provide him with concealment. Rhodes looked in this direction at a glance.

"Did he see me?"

As soon as the killer had this idea, his consciousness fell into darkness and his body fell to the ground.

The killer who had completed countless tasks and never failed died quietly, and the reason for all this was just a glance from the person he ignored.

Rhodes withdrew his gaze. He didn't care about the killer's death, just like an ant accidentally stepped on by the roadside. Who would care about it?

Looking at the pale-faced Tia, Rhodes sat on the sofa and said playfully.

"Now you should know why I said that."

"Is there anyone in the family who is a collaborator?"

Unlike Tia, who was empty-headed, Count Viconi understood something instantly.

Only a few people knew that he had come to the Kageno house, and they were all people he trusted.

Such an incident happened, making it difficult for him to believe that Jiachen, who had been following him for more than ten years, would betray him.

"There's nothing surprising. Everyone has their own concerns, and there will always be one or two who fall for the bait." Rhodes said casually.

Count Viconi said with an unsightly expression: "I will deal with it."

"Rod, I heard something going on inside before. Are you okay?"

A rapid knock on the door sounded outside the house,

"I am fine."

Rhodes smiled helplessly and responded. If he didn't say anything, his family would probably rush in with a dozen people, and the situation would be embarrassing.

After hearing his words, the sounds outside disappeared.

"Give me five days. Once the five days are up, all the incidents will be solved." Count Viconi finally made up his mind.

"Don't jump to conclusions yet. Do you want to hear my proposal?" Rhodes turned around and sat on the chair with his feet on his legs.

"Please tell me."

Rhodes held the side of his face with one hand and looked at the middle-aged man.

"Since the aristocratic faction you mentioned can control the kingdom, why can't we?"

Rhodes spoke with a smile, but this smile made Count Viconi shudder.

"You mean..."

Count Viconi could no longer sit still and stared at Rhodes' side face.

"The Shadow Court takes control of the kingdom and becomes the de facto master."

"impossible!"

Tia shouted in her heart, and she tilted her head. She originally thought that her father would object immediately, but now he was like a stone man, motionless and silent.

"Although the Seven Seats have no such plan for the time being, from the moment the Shadow Courtyard was born as an organization, it is destined that its nature will not be inactive."

"What do you think the scale of development of the Shadow Courtyard will reach as time goes by? When the kingdom knows that there is a heretical organization in its territory, what methods will it take?"

"Conflicts and battles are bound to happen. Who will win in the end?"

Ps: I will skip this part of the plot as soon as possible. I came back late from working overtime yesterday. Today I will update 1/7. If you only want to watch the strength of the shadow, I suggest you keep it up.
