Chapter 858 858: The Silent Night

The papers that lay on the table before him turned into ashes as Karyk stood up. The bartender, a keen observer, watched silently as Karyk left without uttering a word.

Knowing that Karyk had not given him any instructions, the bartender refrained from taking any action on his own. He simply waited, anticipating the moment when Karyk might call upon him. Yet, deep down, he had a sense that the likelihood of that happening was slim.

Leaving the comfort of the bar behind, Karyk walked through the city streets.

He wandered aimlessly, assuming the role of a mere spectator. His steps took him to the grand Mansions belonging to the city's three major families.

From a distance, he observed each mansion and its elaborate security measures. Karyk sought more than just the knowledge he had gained from his reading. He wanted to personally witness it.

His first destination was the area predominantly controlled by the Starfall Family, known to be the weakest of the three.

Despite their perceived weakness, their stronghold was guarded with utmost vigilance. No one was permitted within a five hundred meter radius of the mansion, and the guards were strategically positioned to cover every potential vulnerability.

As Karyk strolled around the vicinity, he couldn't help but notice the watchful eyes fixed upon him. However, he remained composed, revealing nothing suspicious.

Without halting his stride, he continued his journey until the prying eyes lost interest in him.

"They're definitely hiding more than they show," Karyk smiled, believing that he could use this to his advantage.

The City was filled with tension between the three big families. All it needed was a spark, which was his goal. He wanted to burn this city, drawing the Royal Family to this place.

As for what happened beyond the door, there was not much information as even his people weren't able to enter to check themselves. They had simply assumed that it was the area where the direct members of the major families could play around.

Intrigued by what secrets lay behind those guarded doors, Karyk approached the bar and ordered a drink, engaging the bartender in casual conversation.

Through subtle inquiries, he managed to gather information about the VIP section. Unfortunately, most of the information he gathered was the same as what his people had given him.

However, there was also one particular piece of information that he found interesting. It was about the people who were currently inside the VIP Area.

With his newfound knowledge, Karyk discreetly slipped away from the bustling casino floor and made his way towards the private entrance.

As he stood before the guarded entrance, Karyk assessed the situation. The guards were vigilant, but he was confident in his abilities to navigate through their defenses unnoticed. With a deep breath, he prepared himself for what lay beyond the doors.

Little did he know that his presence in the Frostheart family's territory would set off a chain of events, triggering a power struggle that would shake the foundations of the city. The spark he intended to ignite was about to engulf the entire city in a blaze of chaos and secrets.

Unbeknownst to Karyk, he was not the only one with a hidden agenda. The other two major families, the Starfall and the Royal Family, had been making movements discreetly.

Karyk finally made use of his abilities as he walked past the guards who weren't even able to see him. Although the guards were strong, when compared to the General he had killed, or the Puppet Master, they were still inexperienced.

Before long, Karyk went past them, entering the place.

....

As Karyk stepped into the VIP section, he was greeted by opulence and luxury. The room exuded an air of authority and power, with influential members of the Frostheart and Silverthorn family present there. The only family that was missing was the Starfall Family.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
