Chapter 461 An Unscrupulous Woman
Another day passed with no news of the escapees from Long Bay Correctional Facility.
While the royal forces moved through the cities of Scott Province, with groups searching for the fugitives in the forests and dangerous areas, the noble powers were already taking care of their territories to make the situation more difficult for the fugitives.
But there wasn't much that could be done beyond what was already happening. The province was a large area with many possibilities. If someone powerful really wanted to hide, finding them in a short time would be challenging.
So, while the search continued, most of the provinces' powers tried to go about their business as best they could.
Meanwhile, it was another night in Millfall, and the city was relatively quiet, as it had been lately. novelbin
But that wouldn't last long!
...
At the Fuller family estate in the center of town, Shelby and Molly were there with Nina and Eve to celebrate the recent success of Vicente's little sister, who had been voted best student at the local academy.
That's why Shelby had come to the residence that evening, bringing gifts for her favorite student.
"Congratulations on all you've accomplished, Nina. If you keep this up, you may be able to help your brother a lot in the future." The orange-haired woman said to her student as she smiled and looked into the eyes of the girl in front of her.
Nina felt excellent when someone complimented her, but she liked it much better when her brother was involved somehow.
Shelby knew very well that Nina wanted to be able to help Vicente so she wouldn't fail in her praise.
"Hehe, thank you, Miss Staples." She said with a goofy smile on her face.
"Hmm." Shelby looked at her watch and saw that it was time to act. "Nina, what do you say I teach you something new? I recently got some more advanced books on non-elemental magic. Would you like to study some with me?"
It would be strange for someone to offer a chance to study during a celebration on Earth. As valuable as it was, studying wasn't all that exciting. Even scholars would see it that way in circumstances like Nina's, celebrating after a long day at the academy.
That was the Mazzanti family's most advanced weapon, one capable of killing even Mages!
She planned to massacre her own family with such a thing!
'You forced me to do it, Amy and my dear father. There's no love in this family, so I can just change everything about it.' She thought as she walked carefully with a mask on her face. 'From tonight on, I will rule this family!'
Stopping in front of the dining room where her father, Amy, and other family members were, Shelby used a magical device to activate the Staples mansion's defenses.
She had been careful to alter the defenses of her property. It would now be impossible for anyone to escape from this place!
As soon as she had confirmed the activation of the estate's defenses, she entered the dining room with her gun pointed at the people there.
Baron Staples and Amy realized before Shelby entered that something had happened, while the two strongest knights in the family appeared in the room, wondering how the estate's defenses had been activated.
But soon after, everyone in the dining room saw a person dressed all in black, with her identity hidden, appear in the room holding a Mazzanti family gun.
"Shit, that can't be!" The Baron exclaimed as he saw the gun barrel pointed in his direction.
Then, there was a long "bang" as sparks flew from the barrel of that shotgun, with the first shot aimed at Baron Staples' head.
Shelby's older brother, Amy, and the others in the room screamed in horror as they witnessed the Baron's death, but they wouldn't have much time. Soon after, Shelby would kill the people in her family one by one.
She would kill her hateful stepmother, her cruel older brother, the family guards, and even the servants!
That night, almost the entire Staples family of Millfall would perish at her hands, a terrible event that few people would understand.
But of those who would know, they would all see Shelby in more or less the same way.
An ambitious, cruel, and ruthless woman, capable of killing her own father to achieve her goals!
That night, her plans would finally come to a head, and everything would change for her from then on!
