Inside the city lord's mansion.
Four men were drinking, three of whom Rey knew, namely Lion Reed, Gon, and Gio.
The man who looks similar to Lion is his eldest brother, Lid Reed.
Lion said, "Brother, I have long disliked that guy Rey. He is so incompetent and so arrogant."
Gio added, "Yesterday he ruined our plan and made me stay in jail for most of the day. He is sick for some reason, and suddenly he fawned over the guards to cause trouble for us."
Gon took a sip of wine and said dullly, "He is capable, but he is just hiding it. He has deceived everyone."
Gon was beaten up, and his family's fortune was wiped out. Now he hates Rey very much.
Lid sits at the top, which also means that he has the highest status in the field.
He just laughed and said, "No matter how powerful you are, how big of waves can you make? I sent out the strongest killer who I have trained for nearly ten years. She has even killed several masters who can release their magic power. A mere Rey is nothing."
Although in the past two or three days, there seems to be something wrong with the state of the strongest killer.
But it doesn't matter; just continue to train.
He also didn't expect that a slave he bought at random could become so powerful now.
But no matter how strong she is, she is only his slave.
Lion said, "Damn it, because of that guy's fault, I haven't eaten meat for a whole day. My father also listened to the words of Captain Vincent and taught me a lesson."
Lid comforted his younger brother, "That Vincent can't be arrogant for much longer. When I take over that old guy's position, I'll help you get rid of him."
Several people clinked glasses again.
Suddenly, Lid looked at Gon, "Did you hear anything?"
Gon put down his cup and went out. "It seems a little bit; I'll go out and have a look."
The noise came from downstairs, and the guard downstairs seemed to be saying something from the window.
He jumped lightly and landed smoothly from the third floor to the two guards.
The two of them were so shocked that they exclaimed again and again, which made him feel particularly comfortable and pretend to be awesome.
Gon asked calmly, "What happened?"
One person replied, "Someone said he saw the shadow of a person and that someone might have broken in."
Another person said, "I don't know if it's true. We didn't see anyone, so we didn't report it."
Gon felt a little uneasy and decided to tell Lid after going back, "You can continue patrolling."
After the two left, he became more and more uneasy and wanted to go back quickly.
The next moment, a person appeared in front of him.
Gonp was startled, and when he looked carefully, he saw that it was Rey.
I heard from Master Lid that Rey should have been killed by a killer. Could it be that he drank too much?
"Let me ask you a question. You only have one chance. Do Lid and Lion want to kill me?"
Hearing the words that reached his ears, Gon suddenly became excited and knew that the Rey in front of him was him.
He thought of the opponent's strength and was a little scared. "It was Lid who sent people to kill you. It has nothing to do with me."
"Where are they?"
Gon pointed in a direction on the third floor.
Rey said calmly, "I hope you didn't lie to me. Kneel here and wait for me to come back."
Gon hesitated for a moment, met Rey's eyes, and knelt down with a trembling body.
If Rey can defeat him once, he can defeat him a second time. Life is the most precious.
The address he told Rey was correct, and he was so kind because he thought it would be useless even if Rey knew it.
Master Lid hid it very deeply, and he only knew part of it.
Therefore, as long as he survives now, he will definitely be the one who laughs last.
After receiving the news, Rey walked past him and seemed to have left.
But after a while, there were footsteps approaching from behind.
Gon stiffened.
"Gon... Sir, what are you doing?"
"What do you know? There must be a deep meaning behind this."
The two guards from before came back.
When the two of them saw Gon turning around, they breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up.
Suddenly, his eyes widened with an expression of fear.
"I..."
Golden light suddenly shone, and a trace of blood fell on the ground.
The guards in the City Lord's Mansion fell to the ground and were killed instantly.
The two guards didn't react for a long time.
A voice came from behind, "Don't move; otherwise this will be your end."
Only then did they understand why Gon was kneeling there just now, motionless in fear.
······
"That guy Gon, has he been there for a long time?" Lid frowned.
His plan is about to succeed, and the strongest master in the city lord's mansion has been won over by him.
As long as he is given a chance, he can legitimately take his father's place.
The old guy has discovered it, but there is nothing he can do about it. Only he who controls most of the power has the highest say.
At this time, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Don't worry; he won't come back again."
Gio saw the boy clearly and was startled. "Rey."
The latter greeted him, "Hello."
Lid was a little surprised, but not panicked. He pressed a button in his hand calmly.
Then he said, "You are Rey. I have often heard my brother mention you in the past two days."
Rey glanced at Lion, who glared at him fiercely. "It's probably not a nice thing to say; otherwise you wouldn't let people kill us."
Lid's eyes narrowed. His killer hadn't come back yet, but Rey did. Could it be said that she had failed?
The slave collar could only determine the slave's life or death. He didn't know whether the little girl was dead or alive.
waste.
He gave Rey a high look and felt a sense of appreciation for his talent.
"This is the first time we have met. I am Lid Reed. To be honest, I admire you very much. Are you interested in becoming my subordinate?"
Lion looked at him in disbelief, "Brother."
Lid just smiled and said, "We don't know each other without fighting. His abilities are worthy of my recognition. I don't know how many people died on your side, but Gon also died on my side. Let's forget it like this."
Rey looked at him seriously, "You are quite generous."
"Otherwise, how do you think I climbed to this position? Let me tell you a secret. Although I am the eldest son, I was not born to the wife of the city lord, and the city lord originally had more than just two children: me and Lion."
Gio broke into a cold sweat after hearing this, while Lion kept looking at Rey with hostility.
Seeing their reactions, Rey thought for a moment, "I finally know why you are so nice to Lion."
Because he is stupid and cannot be a threat, he is also the only person that Lid can deal with without having to use his brain.
Lid stood up and poured a glass of wine himself, threw it out without spilling any wine, and the glass fell right into Rey's hand.
The magic power is released and controlled freely. He may have touched the threshold of magic.
Considering that he is in his early 20s, he is a well-deserved genius.
"You are indeed very smart. After drinking this glass of wine, I can give you whatever you want."
Rey drank the wine in one gulp without hesitation.
Lid was smiling with satisfaction.
Rey showed his white teeth and smiled even happier than him, "Then I'll make the request rudely."
"I want your life; can you give it to me?"
