Chapter 1160 - Dangerous News

Times seemed to move on faster than ever, with countless happenings occurring around the continent and even around the world.

And in several regions, a dangerous stream of information left countless people either gleeful, murderous or afraid.

Could it be true?

.

--Yorva City, Lingingburg, Veinitta--

.

In a massive golden hall, the music resounded strongly, as thousands of people were now gathered there in celebration.

They had all been invited for one of the most talked-after parties that were almost as powerful as a royal one.

The women danced and shook their h_i_p_s hard, in turn creating instrumental music from their many chains, wrist and ankle bracelets.

The food was plentiful, and booze was also there in large amounts too.

And as of now, the party had only begun, as no one was even drunk yet.

They were still watching the show while discussing politics, their businesses, families, worries or successes.

And as they mingled about with various ulterior motives, the lord of the place calmly watched them from his highest at the very front.

He too was in a good mood as several women poured his alcohol into a golden horn.

His wives and daughter were in their courtyards, while his sons, who weren't of age yet, had also mingled within the crowd.

Everyone looked merry, with the lord and his closest friends talking around the high table too.

"Bahahahhahaha! I knew that son of yours would one day be the death of you."

"Sigh... City lord. How can you laugh at my sorrow? It took me a while, but I've finally convinced that brat to join our regime. Yes. We need to support the 2nd Prince in all his plans."

....

Everyone was entirely focused on their matters when suddenly, 3 men dressed in black walked in through the side door closest to the front and hurriedly walked towards the city lord mannerlessly.

The cheerful city lord turned to face them angrily: "What the hell is wrong with you all? Can't you see that I'm in the middle of something?"

"My lord! I'm sorry, but it can't wait!"

With that, one of them whispered something into his ear.

And the more he listened, the more ugly his face became.

Soon, he abruptly stood up and looked at his friends calmly: "We need to talk."

Their expressions also turned stern, as now, their minds were riddled in curiosity.

What was it that could make this friend of theirs so hot and bothered?

They also stood up playfully, trying to act like they weren't in the middle of something important.

And on their way towards the side door, they grabbed a few dancing women out as if they wanted to solve their 'manly urges.'

Thus, those partying saw this and only thought they were going to have their fun and nothing more.

But the moment they were out of sight, everyone's smile turned upside down as they followed the City Lord towards a private room.

~Bam. Bam. Bam.~

The windows and doors of the room were now shut tight, and the guards were standing around and even a little distance outside the windows, diligently watching their surroundings for any trespassers.

And with the gang now in a quieter place, the City Lord's expression was even uglier before.

"It's both bad and good news.

To start, the good news is that the bastard, Alec Barn, is dead! He died in the most idiotic way ever. His brother's child chopped his head off."

Eh?

One of them frowned: "But didn't the Order help take care of his brother and father ages ago?"

"No... The Order wasn't in charge of that. It only took care of the ministers and all those who would oppose him. And, it also gave him poison to kill his father. The man wouldn't guard against his son, making it a task the Order found would be simple for him to do. Thus, they left him to dispose of his father and brother who didn't guard against him."

Everyone listened and nodded in understanding.

At the same time, they also sneered at Alec's fate.

A simple job like that, the guy couldn't do.

And now look at it?

The fruits of his errors decades ago had come to hunt and bite him right back in the face.

He has no excuse to let his brother stay alive.

They weren't guarding against him and had no idea of how evil his mind was.

So that was the easiest killing to do ever.

But Mr. High & Mighty f***ed it up.

As for them, this was good news because Alec and their City Lord had friction within the Order.

It was rare for someone in Pyno to get to a level 6 (lackey).

How can someone from Pyno stand equal to a few from Veinitta and other renowned continents?

Thus, many hated Alec Barn and tried to look for his troubles here and there.

But majority of the time, Alec was the one who started the fights because he too wanted to defeat those higher and elevate his status.

Years back when he joined the Order, he was at level 9.

And it was just seven years ago that he had been approved to be a Rank 6-level member, making a few people anxious and worried to bits.

In fact, word on the street was that in another year or so, he should get another promotion again to level 5.

Thus, countless people were running to use this 'Elimination period, to kill him once and for all.

Yes. Such a person couldn't be left alive.

But who knew that when they were also thinking of killing him, fate would have the same thoughts as they?

Everyone had a broad smile on their face when thinking of the news about Alec's death.

The bastard was gone.

Within the Order, they were all under the city lord, who was already a level 6 member too.

Forget the fact that he always looks jovial.

The man was cruel and sadistic to those who were his enemies.

But, it was forbidden for members to kill each other... Unless the elimination/killing window.

However, everything the window came up, Alec Barn managed to survive.

And the more he lived, the more jobs he stole or took from them within the order.

However, the bastard was finally dead.

So wasn't this good news?

Hahahahhahahah!

Their long-time enemy was no more!
