Wilbur lowered his head and pondered for a moment, feeling that Edmund's plan was feasible. He then asked, "I have one last question. If the Dragon Slayer Organization headquarters learns of this, aren't you afraid they'll come after you?" "The Dragon Slayer Organization has powerful forces in all nine major towns. If they join forces to attack together, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it." Edmund chuckled and said, "Mister Penn, you can rest assured about this. Each town has its own rules. Buck Town is a city of slaughter, and I, Edmund, am the lord here. If any cultivators intrude into my mansion without permission, I have the authority to order their execution. In this matter, I have done nothing wrong. If the Dragon Slayer Organization dares to take sudden action against me, the treaty between the nine City Lords will automatically kick into action. The other eight City Lords will come to my aid and deal with the Dragon Slayer Organization." Edmund slapped the table and
As night fell, Hanson led his men to invite Sivan to join them before going to Edmund's ruler's residence. Sivan was shocked and said, "Hanson, what are you doing?" Hanson bowed and said, "Mister Sivan, this time, you provided us with information about the dragon cultivator, and we are very grateful for it. So, for fairness, my brothers and I are inviting you to join us in killing Edmund." "If Mister Sivan can kill Edmund, the credit will go to you. Whoever kills Edmund will get the credit." "Impudent!" Sivan was furious and shouted, "Without me, would you have known that Edmund is a dragon cultivator? Without me, where would you find such an opportunity? If we manage to kill Edmund this time, the highest credit belongs to me, Sivan, not you, Hanson!" Sure enough, in his anger, Sivan revealed his true thoughts. However, Hanson had already anticipated this. Even with Sivan's anger, Hanson's expression did not change. Hanson waved his hand, and two cultivators rushed forwar
Seeing this, Sivan threw a smoke bomb. When the smoke cleared, Sivan had already jumped over the courtyard's wall. Wilbur hurriedly chased after him. Seeing Sivan escape, Hanson leaped onto the courtyard wall and fled in the opposite direction. At this moment, Edmund calmly said, "Today, kill every member of the Dragon Slayer Organization who entered the mansion. Leave no one alive!" After saying this, Edmund leaped over the courtyard wall and chased after Hanson. Wilbur pursued Sivan as they ran out of the city. Sivan kept throwing smoke bombs to confuse Wilbur. However, Wilbur merely smiled. His azure dragon aura could detect energy within a hundred-meter radius. No matter how many smoke bombs Sivan threw, he could not hide his aura. Eventually, they reached the frozen lake, where Sivan stumbled and fell to the ground. "Mister Penn, I beg you, please spare me," Sivan pleaded. "I swear I won't tell anyone about today. Please spare my life." Looking at Sivan kneeling and
Edmund was well aware that the Dragon Slayer 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 clan 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 Slayer Organization still suspected him, they would not dare to act rashly. They could easily order
The guards began to work together, and soon, the courtyard was cleaned up. Wilbur frowned and said, "Lord Edmund, killing them is one thing, but if you cut off their heads and hang them on the gate, it might provoke the wrath of the Dragon Slayer Organization. If that happens, it will surely be detrimental to us." Edmund turned to look at Wilbur and said, "Mister Penn, I know what you're trying to say. In fact, I originally thought the same way as you. But don't forget, I am the City Lord of Buck Town. Hanson and Sivan dared to openly break into my mansion with members of the Dragon Slayer Organization. This act is a clear affront to me. If I don't hang their heads on the gates, word will spread, and in the future, the cultivators of Buck Town will surely see me, Edmund, as an incompetent man. When that time comes, I'm afraid no one in Buck Town will respect me anymore." Seeing Edmund's furious demeanor, Wilbur was speechless. Indeed, although Edmund was a dragon clan cultivator, h
"I heard that Lord George of Walker City is a dragon clan cultivator. Hanson's disrespect toward Lord Edmund is a clear provocation. Lord Edmund wants to show the Dragon Slayer Organization that they must follow the rules from now on, or they are courting death." Everyone was amazed. No one felt sorry for the Dragon Slayer members. Although all cultivators envied the power and skill of dragon clan cultivators, the Dragon Slayer Organization had done many infuriating things under the guise of hunting for dragon clan cultivators, so their deaths seemed justified to the public. At this time, a black-robed cultivator hiding in the shadows turned and left after hearing the guard's words. He crossed the street, sneaked through a quiet alley to the back door of Buck Town's branch of the Dragon Slayer Organization, and after checking his surroundings, he went inside. In the second basement level of the Dragon Slayer Organization branch, there was a man-made pond filled with a viscous, bl
"What?" Ardy exclaimed in shock. "Five hundred gold coins?" "That's right. Edmund managed to gather five hundred gold coins even before he became the City Lord, which shows his remarkable abilities. At that time, he promised to help me with three things in return. I thought when Hanson brought people to the City Lord's residence to look for dragon clan cultivators, Edmund would let them come and go out of respect for me. But much to my surprise, Edmund killed them. Counting Hanson and Sivan, Edmund killed twenty-four members of our Dragon Slayer Organization. I need to settle this score with him." "So, this matter…" Ardy deliberately paused, and Botani said, "After I deal with Edmund, you can report everything to headquarters." "Yes, Master Botani." Ardy was elated. Being a member of the Dragon Slayer Organization had given him a prestigious identity. Now that there was a conflict between the organization and Edmund, Ardy feared that the organization might be wiped out by Edmun
"That's nearly three times the cost for the Dragon Slayer organization. Such a price is not favorable for either of us," Edmund stated. Botani glared at Edmund and asked, "Then why did you still do it?" Edmund replied, "Master, it wasn't my fault. Hanson led the Dragon Slayer members to storm my residence late at night, causing this tragic event. As the lord of Buck Town, I must maintain my dignity. If anyone can intrude into my mansion in the middle of the night, wouldn't I become a laughingstock?" Hearing this, Botani took a deep breath and said, "Hanson once told me that your mansion harbored dragon clan cultivators. I assumed that he intruded at night to search for them and expected you to let him leave out of respect for me." Wilbur and Edmund exchanged surprised glances. They did not expect Botani to be unaware of the true situation. It seemed Hanson, seeking to claim all the credit, had not informed Botani that Edmund himself was a dragon clan cultivator. "However, I d
