Edmund was well aware that the Dragon yer Organization was not a simple adversary. Killing Hanson and Sivan would inevitably bring a lot of trouble, but he had no choice. If he did not kill them, they would bring even greater problems for him.
Taking action now, while his identity as a dragon n cultivator had not yet spread beyond Buck Town, was the best option. Additionally, Wilbur was a card he could use to win over Lord George. Since George had specifically asked him to look after Wilbur, and now that he had found Wilbur and brought him back, George would surely choose to help him.
Wilbur and Edmund were now in the same boat. To save Wilbur, George would have no choice but to support him. With George''s backing and the fact that Hanson and Sivan had acted against the rules by breaking into the City Lord''s residence, Edmund had a perfect reason to kill them. Even if the Dragon yer Organization still suspected him, they would not dare to act rashly. They could easily order the killing of an ordinary cultivator, but not a City Lord.
As the lord of Buck Town, Edmund held supreme authority within the city. Anyone who defied the City Lord and caused bloodshed had only themselves to me.
Edmund and Wilbur returned to Buck Town and entered the City Lord''s mansion. The guards had already killed all the Dragon yer Organization members who had broken in. The ground was littered with corpses of both the Dragon yer Organization members and the mansion''s guards.
Edmund nced at the bodies, his eyes filled with shock. At that moment, a guard ran over, went down on one knee, and said, "My Lord, in this battle, we killed twenty-two members of the Dragon yer Organization."
"What about the casualties among the guards?"
"Well..." The guard hesitated for a moment, then said, "We lost sixty men."
"That damned Dragon yer Organization!" Edmund gritted his teeth. Although he had heard that the members of the Dragon yer Organization were strong, he had not expected them to be this powerful. They had managed to kill sixty of his guards with just twenty-two members.
The guards who served in the City Lord''s residence were all top-notch fighters. Edmund had always taken pride in the mansion''s tight security and the irond defenses of his guards. But now, the Dragon yer Organization had exchanged twenty-two of their members for sixty of his guards.
Thinking about it, Edmund could not help but gasp. The ratio was truly terrifying. It seemed he had underestimated the Dragon yer Organization.
At that moment, the guard nervously asked, "My Lord, what should we do now?" Edmund looked at the guard and asked, "Are you afraid?"
"No... I''m not afraid."
"Good!"
Edmund shouted, "Although the Dragon yer Organization''s members are formidable, remember this: you are in Buck Town, and you are the guards of the City Lord''s residence. You are the best cultivators in Buck Town. Now, I order you to bury the bodies of our brothers and friends, then behead all the members of the Dragon yer Organization! Hang their heads on the city gate to show all the cultivators in the city what happens when they offend the City Lord of Buck Town!" "Yes, my Lord!"
