boom!
The entire floor kept shaking under Ke Lin's blow.
Cadina Cavaliers half of her body had sunk into the floor, unable to move.
Colin grabbed Cardina by the back of the neck, lifted her up, and asked:
"Tell me, which other families did your San Theon family infiltrate?"
Cardina's face was covered with blood, but she smiled dismissively and said, "Don't even try to learn the secrets of the Santheon family from me!"
"Really?" Colin threw Cardina on the ground, and asked Saiken, who was standing aside, "Do you want to avenge your father?"
Saiken was still immersed in the doubt of why Ke Lin was not poisoned. Hearing this, he immediately put aside some messy thoughts and nodded repeatedly: "Think!"
Colin turned his gaze to Cardina again, and said calmly, "I'll give you one last chance."
Cardina grinned and said: "Kill me, my father will not let you go!"
Colin also smiled: "That's just right, I don't intend to let your father go."
Seeing that Kadina was so stubborn, he didn't intend to waste any more time, so he nodded to Saiken.
Impatient, Saken immediately pulled out the sword at his waist, roared, and stabbed Kadina's chest.
Cardina snorted, but her eyes remained firm, staring at Colin and Seken, as if she wanted to firmly engrave the images of these two people in her mind.
But soon, her eyesight began to loosen, and a lot of blood flowed out of her mouth like spring water.
Seeming to be still not satisfied, Saken turned his head and asked Colin for instructions: "My lord, I want to use Kadina's head to pay homage to my father!"
Collin paused for a moment, but shook his head and said, "No, I still have use for her corpse. You go out first."
Saiken didn't dare to disobey, so he nodded and left.
Colin took a few steps forward, opened his mouth, and bit Cadina on the neck.
…
In the quiet and dark basement, Aigus, the old butler of the Morrison family, walked alone.
Not long after, he walked into a room full of wooden boxes.
Butler Aigus held up the candlestick and carefully opened the wooden boxes one by one for careful inspection.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the contents of the wooden box, the butler Aigusi breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat off his face.
At this moment, rustling footsteps suddenly sounded.
Butler Aigus suddenly turned his head, but after seeing the face of the person, he relaxed, respectfully saluted and said:
"Miss Cardina, everything is ready."
"The plan has been cancelled."
Butler Aigus was startled when he heard the words, and he didn't care to think about why Kadina's voice was so stiff, and asked quickly: "Miss, is there something wrong?"
"No. It's just that I figured it out. The previous plan was too risky, so I canceled it temporarily."
Butler Aigus also heaved a sigh of relief, saying:
"Miss, actually, I also think your previous plan is a bit risky. After all, the blood cavalry army is too scary. Even if we can use [Wildfire] to blow up their officers, the remaining crazy soldiers are probably enough." Let Huayu City become a hell on earth."
"Well, I think so too, I should contact my father first."
Butler Aigusi frowned immediately, and reminded in a low voice: "Miss, it is the master who always takes the initiative to contact us. We have no way to contact the master."
Kadina paused, her expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness, she only heard her speak again:
"Anyway, we can't stay with the Morrison family any longer. You gather people who are loyal to the Santheon family and gather at the warehouse in the west corner of the Phoenix Butterfly Castle before midnight today to prepare for evacuation."
"Yes, miss."
…
midnight.
The Swallow Butterfly Fort was silent, only a few Blood Cavalry soldiers carrying torches were patrolling routinely.
In the west corner warehouse, butler Aigus heard the faint cry of an owl in the distance, and couldn't help but feel a sense of anxiety in his heart.
"Master Aigus, why hasn't Miss Cardina come yet?"
Butler Aigus turned his head and glared at the speaker, and said angrily:
"how could I know!"
At this moment, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
Butler Aigus' face changed drastically, and he quickly lay down on the warehouse window and looked out. In the dark night, countless blood cavalry soldiers holding torches had already surrounded the warehouse.
"Who leaked the news!"
Butler Aigus growled with a pale face.
More than a dozen people in the warehouse shook their heads repeatedly and said:
"not me!"
"It's definitely not me!"
"Damn it, Tom, did your kid leak the secret!"
"I don't!"
…
Amidst the chaotic noise, the warehouse door was kicked open.
Then I saw Colin walking in swaggeringly, saying:
"Good evening, everyone."
Butler Aigus squeezed out an ugly smile, stepped forward and said: "Master Earl, what are you doing?"
"I want to ask, what are you guys doing sneaking around in the middle of the night?"
"We...we are..." Butler Aigus was racking his brains to think of what excuses to use to deal with it, but then, his eyes saw Cardina behind Colin.
Well, no need to make up reasons.
Butler Aigus suddenly lost any luck, but what he couldn't figure out was how, as Mr. Xi's own daughter, Cardina would betray them.
When the others saw Kadina's figure, they immediately lost the will to resist, and knelt down and hugged their heads, expressing their surrender.
After Colin looked around the field, seeing that there was no Morrison family knight who had sworn allegiance to him before, he nodded secretly in his heart, and then said:
"Take them all away, I will interrogate them all myself!"
"yes!"
A group of blood cavalry stepped forward and arrested all the spies of the Santheon family in the warehouse.
When the butler Aigus passed by Kadina, he took a peek at her, but found that she was looking at the ground expressionlessly, as if he didn't pay attention to everything in front of him.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Butler Aigus let the soldiers take him to a study in the castle.
After waiting anxiously for a while, Count Angelet strode in.
"Aigus, right?"
"Yes, my lord count."
"Next, I'm going to ask you a few questions. Don't think about hiding or making up lies, because I will ask other people for proof. Once you find out that you are lying, hum!"
Aigus smiled stiffly, and said, "Master Earl, just ask, and I will answer truthfully."
"When did you enter the Phoenix Butterfly Castle?"
"Fifteen years ago."
"Your last name is San Theon?"
"No, I was just a farmer in Huayu City. I almost starved to death because of the famine. Later, I was rescued by Mr. Ji and I devoted myself to him."
"Then how did he arrange for you to enter the Phoenix Butterfly Castle?"
"Master Franco recruited me into the Swallow Butterfly Castle."
"Franco didn't commit suicide, but was poisoned to death by you?"
"Yes."
"Why did you kill him?"
"Because... he knows too much."
