The middle-aged man is Victor's butler. His full name is Louis. He was a brutal sand bandit when he was young. When the Elhoin family took over the mine and Settlement No. 12, he gathered nearby thieves to cause trouble for Elhoin.
After being killed by Elhoin as well, he first became Victor's death squad, then his personal guard, and finally the man's steward in Settlement No. 12.
After so many years of hard work and contribution, Victor made a certain investment in him, allowing this middle-aged butler to step into the ranks of Level 6 last year.
Because Louis has the strength of Level 6, Victor is always confident in leaving Settlement No. 12 to him when he goes to the mine.
Over the years, Louis has done his best and never let his master down.
He also received news today, and the information he got was even more detailed than Jack's. He knew that the convoy heading for Settlement No. 12 had taken over the security of the two settlements.
Moreover, this convoy includes high-ranking officials from the Castle of War and knights from the Church of War.
When Jack led the settlement's nearly 300-man army out to "welcome", Louis was not worried about his master's safety. After all, there were high-ranking officials of the fortress present, and church personnel who were friendly with Elhoin were involved. Louis originally thought that no matter how bad the situation was, it would at most be a minor fight.
But unexpectedly, a young man attacked first, breaking the door with a knife at a speed that Louis could not even see clearly. Then the knight of the church actually took action himself and killed his master's youngest son on the spot.
When Louis realized that something was wrong, it was too late. By the time he arrived at the scene, Jack had already become a corpse.
Whether he was a sand bandit or a watchdog of the Elhoin family, Louis had seen many ruthless people over the years. But it was rare to see someone as humble as Tianyang, but so decisive when he took action.
Especially after he pointed out Jack's identity, he was not surprised at all. On the contrary, he asked Elhoin to get out of Settlement No. 12, otherwise he would give old Jones a corpse, Victor's corpse!
Louis looked at this unfamiliar face, wondering where his confidence came from.
With a high-ranking official from the Ares Castle nearby and a knight from the church killing people for him, Louis believed that Tian Yang could not possibly not know what kind of person he had provoked. And knowing that, he still dared to provoke him, and used such cruel means, either he had an amazing background, or...
Is he a Heavenly Rank expert
Louis suddenly remembered Tianyang's stunning move that broke open the town's gate just now, and couldn't help but look at Tianyang again. The more he looked, the more he felt that his guess might be very close to the truth.
But he couldn't believe that such a young man was actually a Heavenly Rank expert!
After calming down, Louis looked at Lu An: "Mr. Lu, is this what the fortress means?"
Lu An said calmly: "I can't answer this question. I was just ordered to cooperate with Mr. Tianyang and help him complete the handover smoothly. Other things are not within my job scope."
Louis narrowed his eyes and looked at Yin Meng again: "What does the church mean?"
Yin Meng looked at him expressionlessly: "The church does not need to explain its actions to anyone."
"Okay, okay." Louis stood up and bowed his head slightly. "My master, Mr. Victor, has gone to the mine and cannot entertain you. Please go to the settlement to rest first. When my master comes, I will definitely
I will give you an explanation. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a big man with dark and shiny skin behind him shouted: "Mr. Lewis, they killed Master Jack, and you didn't help him to avenge him, but actually invited them in. Do you want to betray Elhoin?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Louis flashed over, clenched his right fist, and after slightly accumulating strength, he punched out and hit him in the chest.
The big man heard a sound of bones breaking, and his entire chest collapsed. He flew into the air, flew backwards dozens of meters, and hit a chariot, causing it to shake.
Then the bodies slid down, painting a glaring scarlet on the chariot.
Louis glanced at the crowd around him and said softly, “Don’t get out of the way.”
The soldiers quickly made way for him, and Louis turned sideways, raised his hand, and said respectfully to Tianyang: "Come in, sir."
Tianyang nodded imperceptibly and returned to the field vehicle. The convoy passed through Elhoin's soldiers, rolled over the blood-stained ground, passed through the shattered gate, and officially entered Settlement No. 12.
Louis breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: “Put Master Jack’s body away properly and wait for Master Victor to come back before making a decision.”
Then, he took out the communicator, gritted his teeth, and contacted Victor Elhoin who was far away in the mine.
In the field chariot, Tian Yang smiled and said, "As expected of Elhoin, even a housekeeper can be so patient. No wonder they can flourish in such a place."
Lu An also smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that Mr. Tianyang would act so fiercely and decisively. He made Vic have so many sons right after he arrived."
Tian Yang smiled slightly and said, "If not, God knows how long it will drag on. I am not in the mood to play word games with Elhoin."
As he spoke, Tianyang looked out the window.
At this time, night had fallen and the settlement was brightly lit, so Tianyang could see clearly that the streets in Settlement No. 12 were unexpectedly spacious and could accommodate large vehicles.
Of course, the streets here refer to the main roads in the settlement. In other places, you can also see various complex and varied alleys and paths.
This main road is full of bars, nightclubs, pharmacies, clinics, arms stores, and even hotels.
It can be seen that in addition to the workers working in the mine and their families, the people in Settlement No. 12 also include a number of outsiders.
"After so many years of operation, Elhoin has basically eliminated our management rights over this settlement. This place has become Elhoin's kingdom in the wilderness."
"All kinds of illegal transactions such as slavery, alcohol, drugs, gambling, etc. can be carried out here. Even bandits in the wilderness sometimes sell their loot here. The Elhoin family provides protection for these transactions and bandits, and charges fees. The income from these transactions is not much less than that of the mine."
Lu An looked at the street outside the window and said in a deep voice: "Everything here is under the control of Elhoin. This is a city of sin!"
Tian Yang looked at the secretary and said, "It seems that the city lord has given me an incredible job."
Lu An smiled and said, "That's because the city lord thinks Mr. Tianyang has this ability."
Tian Yang said calmly: "Isn't the city lord afraid that I will become another Elhoin?"
Lu An laughed and said, "No, if you are someone like the Elhoin family
, he would not have provided us with information about the demon brain without asking for any conditions, and he also assisted us in searching the lair, and finally solved the fungus incident. "
During this conversation, the convoy came to the depths of the settlement, where stood a row of high armored walls. Behind the walls were the high-rise buildings in the settlement, which also served as Elhoin's back garden.
An hour later.
Louis, who was waiting outside the gate of the settlement, finally saw a few lights appearing in the dark wilderness. Soon, the lights became more and more numerous and louder, and the roar of vehicle engines was carried by the night wind.
A convoy was coming through the night, and soon, Louis saw it. In the front, there were several heavy tanks with high chassis, huge tires, and wild shapes.
These chariots were equipped with star-level heavy artillery, a force that was powerful enough to shock the wilderness. They led the way and stopped about a hundred meters away from Louis.
After these chariots stopped, a magnetic car with a classic style but powerful power continued to move forward and stopped in front of Louis.
After the car stopped, the door opened and two tall women got out first. They were both wearing long black dresses and had short hair. Their figures and looks were almost identical. They were twins.
They are Victor's secretary, bodyguard and bed partner.
After they got off the car, they separated to the left and right and bowed slightly.
At this time, a figure came out of the car. Victor Elhoin, nearly fifty years old, but still looked like a middle-aged man in his early forties.
He was wearing a black top hat and a long coat, jacket and trousers of the same color. He looked very old-fashioned, just like his car.
This is Elhoyne's style.
From old Jones to his sons, the family tradition is passed down from generation to generation.
"Master." Louis bent down and bowed to Victor, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect Master Jack well, please punish me, Master."
Victor waved his hand gently, his blue eyes looking towards the broken door, and said calmly: "If it is true as you said, that young man may have a heavenly combat capability, and the church is involved, then whether you take action or not, the result will not make any difference."
"Take me to see Jack first."
He said and got back into the car.
Louis followed him in, and the two twins got into a chariot. With the butler around, they didn't have to worry about Victor's guarding.
Not long after, in a cold morgue, Victor saw his son who had turned into a corpse, and saw the blue holes on the body from which blood no longer gushed out.
The corpse had almost turned into a sieve, and even the best corpse beautician could not repair it.
Victor looked at the body calmly, not angry at all about his son's death. His calm face was cold and ruthless. He said nothing, and looked at the body quietly for nearly ten minutes before saying, "Send him back to the fortress and bury him in the family cemetery in Elhoin."
"What should the epitaph be written for?" Louis asked carefully.
"Son of Victor, that is enough."
Victor tapped his fingers lightly on the iron bed next to the body, and then said, "Come on, take me to meet the guests."
