Chapter 247: William: Oh no, I've become a decoy!
"Murt, how dare you betray me?"
The moment William laid eyes on Lynn, everything became clear, yet he couldn't believe that one of his most trusted subordinates would betray him.
How is this possible? How dare he?
"Have you forgotten about your parents and family? Murt, they're all in my hands," William threatened harshly.
"Now the communication hawk isn't by your side..." Murt replied in a low voice.
As long as William died here, naturally, no one would issue commands.
"You probably don't know, Mr. Murt actually possesses quite decent wizard talent," Lynn said with a smile. "After witnessing higher landscapes, how could anyone endure lurking in the mire?"
Of course, he employed a few additional tactics, otherwise, how could he trust an enemy's confidant...
"You're courting death!" William slammed the table in anger. A dozen or so mechanical amplifiers immediately sounded, sharp crossbow arrows flying out from under two obese feet, aimed at Lynn and the others.
[Eletromagnetic Manipulation]
Lynn extended his hand, the speeding arrows freezing right in front of him. Subsequently, flashes of lightning appeared on the iron tips. With a flick of his hand, the wooden shafts immediately shattered, the iron heads flying out even faster, piercing William's obese body, erupting a mist of blood.
William's agonizing cries resounded throughout the room, but the splattered blood mist didn't touch the ground; it encircled him under some force's gathering.
Amidst horrifying flashes of blood light, William's figure began to rapidly swell. His fat disappeared swiftly, eventually forming a blood-red figure over two meters tall, incredibly muscular, with crimson eyes emitting a terrifying aura, a violent, murderous intent permeating the entire room.
The stripped blood spontaneously formed a barrier, blocking the incoming [Chain Lightning].
"Quite a skill," Lynn remarked lightly. He intentionally controlled the intensity of the electric current, yet he hadn't expected the other party to easily block it.
It seemed that during the ten-plus years working for Herlram, William hadn't refrained from making underhanded moves.
Previously, Lynn had been curious about which fleet brought that statue of the evil god into the wizard's domain. There was no clear record of it at Iyeta Harbor. Now it seemed it must have been brought in by the fleet from "Hadralata"!
"Wait, you absolutely can't kill me... My every confidant knows about the Misty Sea's information. If I die, they'll spread the news... I don't want the profits from trade anymore, it's all yours, everything!"
"No need to worry so much, William," Lynn smirked. "Don't you have a decent decoy? I believe he'll live well in your place."
William's pupils contracted, yet before he could say anything, his entire being was frozen into an ugly ice sculpture...
"Lord Lynn, there's a hidden passage directly to the hall here. Mr. Laude should be there," Murt said urgently.
"Let's go, don't keep him waiting!" Lynn nodded.
Though Murt was his inside man, time was too pressing. Cody visited in the morning, issuing the invitation in the afternoon, making it impossible for real-time communication.
So, when Murt suddenly appeared before Laude, requesting the handover of the "Ring of Arcana," Lynn knew something had gone wrong, prompting Laude to surrender the ring.
Dealing with William altogether had taken no more than ten minutes. If Laude was clever enough, he should be enjoying dinner with the decoy right now.
Upon reaching the hall, Lynn realized things seemed different from his expectations. Wine stains and scattered dishes littered the floor, a scene best described as chaotic.
After dispatching a dozen guards with a [Chain Lightning], Lynn and Murt rescued the disheveled Laude from the trap.
Laude stared resentfully at Murt.
"Mr. Laude, there were many people outside just now. Please forgive my previous offense," Murt apologized awkwardly, then handed the "Ring of Arcana" to Laude. "I've always said I'd protect it with my life!"
