Chapter 596: Chapter 423: Double Threat_2

Realizing this, while slightly excited, Leo Ray, surrounded by his subordinates, strode forward while slightly furrowing his brows.

Speaking of that mysterious, unpredictable organization, although he hadn’t had any direct contact with them since parting ways in Viennas City, he had heard about them from other lords like Quinn Serena from Pine Sound Range and Solomon Rue from the Old Mine District of Golin City multiple times.

They said that a group of black-robed people wearing white Gothic masks often slaughtered the gathering points of Otherworldly Lords. Their methods were extremely brutal, and these incidents happened everywhere.

As a result, multiple warning channels dedicated to researching and summarizing information on this subject had been established in the Chat Channels.

“I have already instructed Quinn Serena and the others to keep a close watch on this matter. If there is any progress, I will naturally receive the news at the first moment,” Leo Ray thought to himself.

“Besides, from time to time, news about some local lords leading soldiers to eradicate nearby Otherworldly Lords would be spread in the Chat Channels.”

“As a result, at least the Otherworldly Lords residing in the territories within Coldflame and the regions of various Human nations would face a dual threat from this mysterious organization and the native forces, just like my current situation,” Leo Ray thought to himself.

At this moment, with his subordinates surrounding him, he had already stepped through the gates of Viennas City at a speed and agility that ordinary people could hardly understand.

Walking on the bustling streets, inhaling the sweet scent from a nearby cotton candy stall, Leo Ray continued to ponder, “In summary, the truth only exists within the range of a cannon, and dignity only exists on the tip of the sword.”

“As an Otherworldly Lord myself, my current top priority is still to accumulate strength.”

“After all, besides my direct subordinates of nearly a thousand people, and two subservient tribes, I also have many cities under my command. Once a full-scale war breaks out, what I will be shouldering will be more than just the population of the territorial interfaces,” Leo Ray thought as he swiftly moved through the crowds.

After a short while, he arrived at the gate of Sanders’ Trading Conference in the most bustling golden area of Viennas City.

Looking up, he saw the five golden words “Sanders’ Trading Conference” shining brightly under the brilliant sunlight on an ancient-style wooden plaque.

The Golden Deer Emblem next to it was also lifelike and breathtakingly impressive.

At this moment, Leo Ray, who had already taken off his Invisibility Cloak and wore an ordinary hooded cap, which covered most of his face, caught sight of Kelsey, who had been waiting at the entrance. She immediately approached him with a delighted expression and bowed down, saying, “Greetings, My Lord!”

At this moment, in order to avoid drawing attention, Kelsey’s respectful bow and obsequious expression on her pretty face, though almost inaudible amidst the surrounding noise, immediately caused quite a stir among the crowd.

In an instant, both the neatly lined up guards of the trading conference at the entrance and the passers-by below the steps were all staring and wearing astonished expressions.

It was well known that Kelsey, as the daughter of the Viennas City Sanders’ Trading Conference Master, had a reputation as a bad girl, or rather a hot pepper.

Even the Lord Asher of Viennas City could not receive such treatment if he personally visited.

From this, one could see how extraordinary the seemingly ordinary young man was, and it was simply inconceivable.

“Alright, let’s go inside and talk.” Noticing that he had unwittingly become the focus of everyone’s attention again, Leo Ray slightly puckered his mouth, nodded at the overjoyed Kelsey, and said.

Subsequently, he entered the Viennas City Sanders’ Trading Conference and, under Kelsey’s guidance,

Leo Ray and his entourage of ten people arrived at an elegantly decorated large reception room.On the redwood tea table in the reception room, a variety of exquisite refreshments and snacks had been placed, which undoubtedly attracted the eyes of the foodie trio.

“Please take a seat, My Lord.”

After Leo Ray had seated himself at the head of the table, Kelsey bowed again and reported, “My father has already gone to the City Lord Mansion to make the final arrangements and discuss the exploration of the ancient relics with Lord Asher.”

After all, the mysterious organization’s attack at the auction not long ago caused quite a stir. After the Lord left, the furious Lord Asher conducted a city-wide manhunt for three days and three nights, but still ended up empty-handed.”

“It’s understandable. The main purpose of Lord Asher holding the auction was to attract the mysterious organization and then take revenge on behalf of his family members.

In the end, not only did the mysterious organization members escape, leaving the whole event in vain, but we also took advantage of the situation and seized the [Eternal Night Magic Box], which can be considered a loss for him.”

Leo Ray picked up the fragrant tea handed over by Amelia and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Then, Leo took a sip of tea and said, “By the way, what’s been going on with the Sanders family since the vice president and his son, who were direct descendants, died?”

“My Lord, as you arranged, my father and I have pinned their deaths on the mysterious organization and haven’t aroused any suspicion from the family.”

With a smile at Leo Ray, Kelsey couldn’t help but frown: “However, these two who betrayed their family, not only joined the mysterious organization but also brought disaster to their own family, ended up with a good reputation. It’s too cheap for them.”

“That’s all irrelevant. What’s important is that the Viennas City Sanders’ Trading Conference is now completely under the control of your side-branch of the Sanders family.”

After saying this, Leo Ray put down his teacup and said with a faint smile, “As long as the power is consolidated, it will undoubtedly be a further boost for our plan to support Linda to become the family head.”

“My Lord is right. In the past few days, my father and I have been secretly eliminating the remnants of the two’s forces.”

Kelsey shook her fist and looked like a roaring dragon.

“Job well done.”

With a slight lift of his eyebrows, Leo Ray’s gaze shifted, looking at Kelsey’s purple outfit.

From her aura, it was apparent that with the help of the Rose Gathering Energy Pill, she had reached the level of a Tier 3 Seven-Star senior expert.

On the other side, Kelsey, who was somewhat at a loss by Leo Ray’s gaze, quickly cheered up.

She continued, “By the way, My Lord, half an hour ago, Captain Tina of the Blue Rose Knights and Captain Layne of the Broken Blade Knights arrived here one after another. I have arranged for them to stay in separate rooms.”

As she spoke, a look of admiration appeared on Kelsey’s face again: “When the two of them arrived, they were in high spirits, and they kept mentioning the Lord’s pseudonym.

Only the Lord could make two independent knight commanders with heavy troops behave like this! I can’t help but say that My Lord is extraordinary indeed!”

“Kelsey, you left me with no room for argument.”

Hearing this, Leo Ray smiled faintly, then his expression turned contemplative once again.

During this trip to the ancient relics, in addition to trying his best to win over Lord Asher Porter of Viennas City,

The other important goal was to deepen the relationship with the two independent knight commanders and bring them under his command.

“Speaking of which, judging from the tone of the old auctioneer and Lord Asher at the time, the unknown hidden relics seemed to be quite mysterious.”

“I wonder what kind of race left it behind, what it looks like inside, and if there are any valuable treasures?”

“Most crucially, is there any connection between it and the [Eternal Night Magic Box]? After all, we don’t even know the race to which the [Eternal Night Magic Box] belongs.”

Thinking of this, an eager look appeared on Leo Ray’s face.

He then stood up, turned to Kelsey, and said, “Alright, let’s go and greet the two knight commanders in their rooms.”
