"Yes, Lord Edmund."


    Edmund''s men snuck over to the Chris family grounds after receiving the order and returned after doing a good deal of snooping.


    "Lord Edmund, we found out that Felix returned to Buck Town alone."


    "Oh?"


    Edmund smirked at those words. "That means that Wilbur and Augheimer died in battle, then! Ha, they sure deserved it."


    Conrad shrugged. "I told you, Lord Edmund. There''s no way Wilbur and Augheimer would survive Dalton''s wrath."


    Edmund was nothing but smug. "Have someone ask around for news on Dalton and see if he came back."


    There was a response in no time, as Edmund''s men knelt before him. "Dalton has not returned after leaving the Dragon yer Organization."


    "Oh? Dalton didn''te back either? Could it be that both he and Wilbur perished in battle?"


    Conrad looked ecstatic. "That would be wonderful, Lord Edmund."


    "No."


    Edmund''s smile slid off his face. "If Dalton died in battle, his brother Lord Hadirt woulde looking for him for sure. Hadirt is far from nice. If he shows up in Buck Town, it''s bad news for both you and me."


    "Hadirt?" Conrad looked rather confused. "But we didn''t do this. It was Wilbur who killed Dalton."


    "But Wilbur is dead, and that leaves Hadirt with nowhere to vent his anger! He''s bound tosh out against us!"


    "What should we do, Lord Edmund?"


    Edmund stared at Conrad, saying, "I''ve got a n. Conrad, you''re going to head to Tevinter Town right now and tell Hadirt that his brother was killed by someone named Wilbur Penn. Tell him that we didn''t dare hide the truth from him and invite him to avenge his brother in Buck Town."


    "Got it. I''ll go to Tevinter Town right now."


    Conrad entered a portal and found himself in Tevinter Town the next second. He headed to the City Lord''s quarters there and told Hadirt everything Edmund said.


    Hadirt was in the middle of a game of chess with his subordinate, and Conrad''s words made him flip the table over. The wooden pieces scattered all over the ground as he fumed. "No one... No one has ever dared to do such a thing in the tens of thousands of years I''ve been cultivating. Very well, Wilbur. You dared to kill my brother... I''m going to make you pay tenfold for what you did!"


    After a brief discussion, Conrad returned to Buck Town with Hadirt and his men in tow.


    Over in the City Lord''s quarters, Edmund bowed to Hadirt on one knee. Hadirt waved a hand, saying, "Spare me the formalities. Where''s the bastard who killed my brother? Hand him over so I can make mincemeat out of him!"


    Edmund could hardly contain his smugness at the sight of Hadirt''s rage, but he remained expressionless. "Wilbur Penn killed Dalton, Lord Hadirt. He''s a dragon n cultivator and an extremely powerful one too. I''m afraid we''re going to have toe up with a proper n to take him down."


    Hadirt sneered. "There are less than three people in the middle dimension who canst more than three rounds against me. I''m not scared of one Wilbur Penn. Take me to him."


    "He''s at the Chris family grounds."


    Edmund looked meaningfully at Conrad, who said at once, "Pleasee with me, Lord Hadirt."


    It was not long before Conrad arrived at the Chris family grounds with Hadirt and some guards in tow. The guard watching the gates was about to stop them, but quickly put his sword away at the sight of Conrad. "Hello, Lord Conrad. May I know why you''re visiting all of a sudden?"


    "Cut the crap and get Wilbur Penn out here!"


    "Mister Penn hasn''t returned since he left earlier today. Is anything the matter, Lord Conrad?"
