The masked man led the four towards the gate, no one around suspected anything, as they seemed to be moving of their own free will, because according to the masker's man instructions, none of them can even express fear or hesitant on his face or he will kill them directly
After exiting the gate they completed their way for about two hours towards the heart of the nearest forest, a few tens of miles away from the capital,
All the way, Caesar and his group were trying to find loopholes around them or a miracle they could cling to, but the miracle did not happen.
The masked saint in front suddenly stopped and turned to face them with a cruel smile apparent in his dark eyes
"Tell us what you want.." asked Caesar, still hoping that the man might be honest and would release them unharmed after delivering his message, because if this is not the case, then...
"Haha, did you really believe that? It was just a ploy to bring those two behind you here without a fuss, as for you... you may die" The masked saint laughed loudly and started to approach them.
This answer was the worst possible response, they wouldn't even take him as a prisoner as well, but go straight for the kill
Caesar's mind went blank, just one line appeared in his thoughts: 'it is all over'
There is no need to beg, threaten or resist. These people know what they are doing, they are here on a mission and they will carry it out no matter what.
The saint laughed out loud and throw a punch towards Caesar,
when it reaches his body, the ninth-leveled Caesar would turn into dust
*boom*
A strong impact sound suddenly came from in front of them, and a strong shock wave from that impact threw them from their original spot and pushed them a few meters back.
When Caesar opened his eyes again, he did not see the masked saint.. Rather, the slightly curved back of an old man, and he could no longer hear the sound of the masked saint's laughter.
What got his attention most was the blood Falling from an old man's arms dying the ground red, no matter how much Caesar tried to remember the owner of this back he couldn't, so he finally spoke, "Who.. who are you?!"
The old man was struggling to hold back the damage to his body from receiving that attack in such a forceful way, as the masked Saint in front of him was even stronger than him!
after another second he answered in a tired coarse voice, "I apologize for being late, Nephew Caesar, I knew everything... and I was following you all along, I was just... hoping for a miracle to happen and that.. he would really let you go.
That's why I was late to come out.. I'm useless.. This old man is called Murphy.. I'm of the lucky few.. who knew your father back in his early days.. and I.. was entrusted by patriarch Brian to watch over you as long as we are both breathing."
If Robin had been present, he would have known this person at first sight. He is the old chief of the guards who always stood in front of the patriarch's office!
"TCH.. this will complicate things, why didn't you go to a bar and just enjoy the last days of your life, you senile old man?!" The masked saint put his hand back and was preparing to throw another punch but at that moment Murphy quickly retreated, grabbed Caesar, and flew towards the capital's direction
"surround him!" The masked saint screamed, 9 other masked cultivators came out from different places, including the other 4 saints they sensed earlier,
the closest saint to Murphy jumped to block his way and kicked with all his might, a bright bolt of lightning came out of his feet, heading towards the two... this attack was sent to kill.
Murphy barely managed to react, he quickly turned around hugging Caesar, and again, he forcefully took the hit directly in the back.
"Uncle Murphy!!" Caesar felt the severity of this attack and vomited blood.
He actually received an internal injury, although the attack did not touch him, just the shock wave was enough to inflict significant harm upon him
but all that occupied his head is what happened to the old man who was trying to save him.
The two of them fell out of the air just a few steps away from the spot where they were before, Theo, Peon, and John came quickly and formed a tight defensive circle with their backs facing each other,
Though they could still stand... both uncle Murphy and Caesar were in a pitiful state,
Murphy scanned the area around him with his gaze, "5 Saints between levels 21~24 and also 5 knights between levels 14~17.. It seems that you Dolivarians really wish for Caesar's death to send a formation like this.."
When the level 24 masked man heard the word *Dolivar*, he furrowed his eyebrows and looked sternly at the Saint who had used a lightning attack just a little while ago, it was known that only Dolivar had techniques for lightning laws of level two or above!
"Why do you bother with what he says? It's not like one of them is going to get out of here alive…." The saint who used the lightning attack knew his mistake, but he was well aware that killing a level 23 Saint would never be an easy task if he decided to abandon the rest and escape alone.
"I advise you to run away now while you still can." Murphy wiped the blood from the side of his mouth and confidently addressed his words to their boss.
"Haha, and why exactly that?"
"I sent a distress call to the Burton family residence when I saw you in the market trying to lead the boys out, they're on the way...they might be here at any moment."
"Hahaha, do you take me for a fool, old man? It's clear that you were following the boy alone, who did you send? And if you had gone by yourself you wouldn't have found your way here, just give in and accept reality."
Murphy's features turned very ugly upon hearing these words...
"You didn't come here by yourself, did you? who sent you isn't some young bastard or some random noble either... how many of your officials agreed about this?" Caesar wiped the blood from his mouth and looked at the masked man who had led them earlier, then started shouting, "DO YOU ALL REALIZE WHAT IS THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACT?!"
"Who sent us is not for you to know, as the dead does not need knowledge. as for... consequences, you say? haha, we will kill and kidnap some unimportant bastards, what consequences are you talking about? please do not overestimate yourself" One of the saints giggled as he took a few steps forward, the five saints all began to advance to tighten the siege even more so that Old Murphy wouldn't escape.
"HAHAHAHA, you idiots!!! indeed, The ignorant are in bliss. you all don't even understand the entity are you provoking." Caesar laughed in apparent anger.
"Oh? And who is this *entity* exactly? ..You? Or do you mean the Black Sun King?" A big smile was visible in the masked eyes. For Caesar, he is inevitably dead today, and for the King of the Black Sun, they wish he would react... All they are doing is basically to drag him into a war!
"How foolish and arrogant are you people? you want to kill me and kidnap my two brothers for what? is it not for our abilities? I'm talking about the one who gave us those abilities, you idiot!! HAHAHA, if one of us dies inside your kingdom, I assure you all will be wiped out, YOUR ENTIRE KINGDOM SHALL FACE ANNIHILATION HAHAHA!"
Caesar's facial expressions and maniac laughter sent a shiver to everyone's spine, it was clear that he had lost all hope of survival today, even though... he still made the ten-man team rethink their standing for a moment
"Hm?" The head of the assassination team paused for a moment upon hearing this, actually, Prince Henry's and the rest of his companions' tales of this boy's strength were already supporting the theory that there is a major secret hiding inside his body.
if it was some reclusive top sage who choose and passed him this secret...
But he quickly removed that thought from his head, sage Louis and the upper icons have surly considered this and issued the attack anyway,
plus they have already attacked and their identities as Dolivarians were already revealed, there was no turning back now...
so he gestured at the other four saints and they started moving together to kill Caesar and the old man at the same time,
this time.... there is no way to avoid the collision.
