When Luton raised his head, his expression looked perfectly normal. If one didn’t know better, one would consider him a civilized man.
Everybody had something on their minds.
Luton led Himmel Soan into the manor and reached a luxurious courtyard.
With a clap of his hands, over a dozen nice-looking female Golden Core cultivators came out with tea, fruit, and desserts. After setting everything down on the table, they stepped back, held their hands in front of them, and humbly bowed their heads.
“Sir, please wait here while I send a message to my father, telling him you’ve arrived.” Luton left with a smile.
“I didn’t know they would have so much delicious food here!” Firey was practically drooling over the desserts.
“Emperor Baih is one of the eight emperors. Of course, he would have nice food around the house.” Himmel Soan smiled and rubbed Firey’s head.
Firey put a finger in her mouth and eagerly eyed Himmel Soan. “Master, can I have some desserts?”
In the past, she would have grabbed the food and stuffed it into her mouth without asking any questions. However, she knew she had to be careful here in the Baih manor. If she could ask Himmel Soan, she would never make decisions on her own.
“Go ahead. Take whatever you want.” Himmel Soan gestured at the table with a swiping motion.
He could tell that Luton had poisoned the desserts. He was immune to all toxins, but Firey wasn’t. He had been wondering if Firey would reach for the desserts, not expecting her to ask him beforehand.
She had learned so much!
The swiping motion he made just then removed all the toxins in the desserts. They were harmless now.
“Great!” Firey was relieved.
She realized what Himmel Soan had done and was glad she asked for permission. If she had gone straight to the desserts, she would be in trouble now. Luckily, she was smarter than that.
She sighed inwardly before turning to the food on the table. She wolfed down the fruit and desserts.
Meanwhile, Luton was talking to someone outside.
“Sir, we’ve never killed a guest in the manor before!”
“You will from now on!” Luton snapped.
He was Emperor Baih’s son. Why wouldn’t these secret guards follow his orders? Why were there so many questions? Did they even consider him their master?
“Sir, we won’t take any actions without an order from the head of the family,” said the man in black.
“I’m Thy Baih’s son. When he’s away, I’m the head of the family. Do you have a problem with that?” Luton asked.
He never liked Black Panther.?He works for my father. Who’s he to give me attitude?
Luton was angry. Himmel Soan had humiliated him in front of everybody, and now, even a secret guard refused to follow his commands. It was time to ask his father to recruit some new assassins!
“Of course, we don’t have a problem with that, but we only take orders from the head of the family. As for you, Sir, no matter what happens in the future, you’re not qualified to give us orders now.
“Moreover, assassinating that man is too easy! Are you making fun of me?”
Black Panther’s tone was emotionless. He didn’t try to please Luton just because he was Emperor Baih’s son.
The only person he obeyed was Emperor Baih. So what if Luton was Emperor Baih’s son?
Until Emperor Baih told the secret guards to follow Luton’s orders, they would treat him just like any other family member.
“Black Panther! No, Ivar, are you sure about that? Don’t you want to see your daughter and wife again?
“I hear your daughter is turning 16 next month. You do want her to live to see that day, don’t you?” Luton smirked.
His smile widened when he saw Ivar’s reaction. He held the man’s life in his hand and was telling him his struggle was futile.
Ivar, the Black Panther, was dumbfounded. He didn’t understand why Luton knew his name. His personal information became top secret when he joined the secret guards.
Emperor Baih was the only one who had access to that information. He had promised the secret guards that their details were safe with him. They all believed their families wouldn’t be harmed. Now that his name was revealed, Ivar felt his family was under Luton’s control.
Ivar couldn’t figure out what had happened, but he wanted to rip Luton apart when he saw the look on his face.
“Luton, you brat!” Ivar ground his teeth.
Blood was dripping to the floor. Ivar’s fingernails had cut his own palms. He wanted to kill Luton, but he knew he couldn’t lose his head.
Luton had his family!
“In this world, only the merciless can rise to the top. I wouldn’t be my father’s son if I played nice. Ivar, I didn’t want to do this, but you refuse to respect me. Do I have your attention now?” Luton laughed like a madman. He thought he was untouchable.
Ivar was intimidated by Luton’s demeanor. He knew Luton would do anything to get what he wanted, which made him the scariest type of person.
“Sir, I offended you earlier, and I’m sorry.” Ivar finally gave in. His family was everything to him. He couldn’t live without them. Luton was threatening him with his family, so he had to take a step back.
“I knew this would work. Just like I said earlier, kill the young man in white in that room. The girl can live!”
Luton walked into the courtyard. He wanted to watch Himmel Soan die!
