Chapter 260: A Disagreement Leads to a Knife
Ryan didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
If it were outside, if you wanted to get close to this young master George, you would have to fight hard, and it might not be easy to catch this guy. After all, after the last raid, this guy had a lot of masters around him.
This time, probably because the guards thought that everyone in the underground palace was "their own people", they relaxed their vigilance, and the [Two-headed Blind Snake] King also helped a lot, which allowed Ryan to approach easily.
By the time the guards discovered him, the distance was close enough for him to rush in and capture the man.
Then there was a "pop" sound in the air and the opponent was grabbed close to the face.
George, this weak second-level wizard, had no room to defend himself at all. It was like grabbing a duck's neck and twisting it up.
Although there was a hint of playful smile in Ryan's eyes, Young Master George also clearly felt the cold murderous intent.
He was so familiar with this look.
Instinctively, my bladder swelled, my urethral sphincter relaxed, and that familiar feeling of being scared to pee came back.
How did this guy appear here?
Young Master George racked his brains but couldn't figure out why he would meet the killer he least wanted to see again in this underground palace with only one door.
Isn’t the way down the maze blocked by our own people? Where did this guy come from?
Until his neck was strangled, George couldn't figure out how he and Ryan ended up here.
Of course, Ryan was very "kind" and did not strangle him to death directly, but gave him the opportunity to cry for help.
…
“Help!”
This scream alarmed all the members of the noble hunting group who were fighting.
These guys looked at someone who suddenly subdued Young Master George, and they all gathered around with nervous expressions.
Click, click, click…
The sound of gun bolts being pulled was heard in unison.
In an instant, thousands of muskets were pointed at Ryan's head at the same time.
The feudal system has always been cold-blooded. Class distinctions cannot be crossed and all laws follow the principle of aristocracy supremacy.
These hunters swore allegiance to the lord and became noble knights, which was equivalent to retainers. While they gained rights beyond those of ordinary people, they also had the responsibility to maintain the safety of the territory and protect the safety of the lord.
Low-ranking nobles must obey the orders of their lords.
This means that if Master George dies, they will all be buried with him!
"Stop! Let go of Master George!"
"Who are you? Think carefully. Daring to attack a high noble is a capital crime that will bring disaster to all three clans!"
“…”
Ryan wore a mask and changed his costume.
Although Young Master George recognized him as the guy who killed so many people during the siege that night, no one else recognized him.
They were shouting and threatening loudly, but they didn't dare to come close.
At this time, an old wizard in a white robe came out and spoke angrily, shouting: "No matter who you are, if you dare to hurt George's finger, I will skin you alive and tear out your tendons! Your family will also lose their lives because of your stupid behavior!"
Judging from the tone of his voice, he seems to be an elder of the Rosas family who is used to being rude.
"oh?"
When Ryan heard this, he raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything more.
The old wizard responded with a crisp "crack" sound of fracture, and he broke George's two fingers without any hesitation.
Then, a scream like a pig being slaughtered resounded throughout the empty hall: "My finger! Ah..."
"Shut up!"
Ryan found it harsh, and he coldly shouted at Young Master George, who he could strangle to death at any time: "If you dare to yell again, I will strangle your neck."
“…”
George, whose face was pale, was sweating coldly from the pain, but when he heard the loud shout, his screams stopped immediately.
At this time, Ryan stared at the old wizard opposite him and asked sarcastically: "Now, I cut off two of his fingers. What are you going to do? Skin me twice?"
“You…you…!!!”
When the old wizard heard this, his face turned extremely ugly.
Not to mention that Glory City has now become a country, even before it was established, no one dared to offend the Rosas family for many years.
Now, there is such a lunatic who breaks Master George's fingers just because of a disagreement? !
This... is simply not taking the Rosas family seriously!
The old man's eyes were as cold as a venomous snake, and he threatened again: "Do you know that if you do this, it will bring disaster to you and the forces behind you? Put down George, and everything will be easy to talk about. But if you dare to hurt him again, I dare to guarantee that no matter which force of the two empires you come from, my Rosas family will never stop fighting!"
“…”
Ryan shook his head when he heard the threat.
He found it difficult to talk to such a guy whose arrogance had blinded his reason.
Indeed, the old man has his reasons for saying this.
Now the "Glorious Kingdom" is in its heyday, owning the [Black Tide] resources west of the Alcoron Mountains, and no one can stop its prosperity.
Not to mention that Glory City itself is extremely powerful, even the royal families of the two empires are eager to make friends with it.
Anyone who dares to attack and kill the direct descendants of the Rosas family, one of the "Five Royal Families" in Glory City, will have nowhere to hide no matter where they flee.
There is nothing wrong with this.
Therefore, any force that attacks and kills the high nobles of Glory City must consider the consequences.
However, it does not include him, Ryan, nor the "Black Dragon City" behind him!
The old wizard looked at Ryan and didn't say anything for a while, thinking that his intimidation had worked and caused the other party to be cautious. He sneered and said, "Humph! Now I advise you to let George go, otherwise..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was responded with another crisp "crack" sound of bone breaking.
Young Master George's two fingers were bent at a 90-degree angle to the back of his hand just now, and now there are four.
Ryan broke two more fingers, then looked at the old man, who was waiting for the next words with a half-smile, and asked, "Otherwise, what were you going to do?"
Everyone could hear the threatening tone in these words. If they heard a few more words of nonsense, George would probably lose his remaining six fingers.
Young Master George felt such excruciating pain, but he dared not cry out.
He begged tearfully, "Uncle Pickle, please stop talking and save me!"
“…”
The old wizard Pickle was so angry that his face turned blue and purple, as if he was constipated. He wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't dare to say anything.
…
At this moment, a path suddenly opened up among the crowd.
A grey-robed warlock came over, it was Gizela, the Poison Hand.
After all, she was ordered by her master to protect the eldest son of the Duke of Valentine's family. Seeing George being kidnapped, she couldn't just stand by and watch.
She stared at Ryan for a moment and asked coldly, "What do you want, sir?"
She guessed that the other party did not kill anyone directly, which meant that he did not come simply for revenge.
The most likely possibility is that they want to use this as a threat to achieve some purpose.
Ryan looked up at him and said calmly, "Yo... finally someone who can have a normal conversation has come."
After a pause, he said directly: "You should remove Master Gannix's 'Magic Collar'."
Are you here to save me?
Gannix, who was watching the whole thing, was shocked when he heard this.
He guessed it immediately: "Mr. Ryan?!"
Just now, when he saw Young Master George being captured, he cheered in his heart. Especially when he saw George's fingers being broken, he felt even more relieved. But he didn't expect that this mysterious man with a pig face mask was actually coming for him?
At this time, the guards of the Rosas family also reacted.
This man held Master George hostage just to save the young master of the "Redwood Chamber of Commerce"?
Soon, the guards who had experienced the encirclement that night guessed that the madman in front of them was the mysterious man who escaped that night.
Obviously, you need bargaining chips in your hand.
The other party is not completely useless either.
The moment Ryan told him the purpose, a third-level assassin reacted extremely quickly.
His figure flashed behind Gannix like a ghost, but he did not try to untie the "magic collar". Instead, he put a dagger on his neck and threatened Ryan in the same way: "Put down Master George, or I will kill him immediately!"
"oh……?"
Ryan glanced at the guy, as if he had expected it.
"You threaten me?"
He sneered and this time did not crack his fingers, but changed his method.
The next moment, everyone else saw a flash of cold light, and a stream of blood spurted out from George's body.
Looking closely, he saw that a dagger had pierced George's kidney.
As a professional doctor, he was naturally well versed in human anatomy. This knife would not kill him, but it would be very painful.
A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he drew out the dagger with a ferocious look on his face, and blood gushed out immediately.
The scream like a pig being slaughtered came from Young Master George's mouth again.
“Tsk tsk…”
Ryan drew his sword without losing his grip, and asked the assassin coldly, "What did you just say to me? Say it again?"
The implication of this expression is very clear: If you dare to say it again, I will stab you again.
…
The people of the Rosas family were stunned by this knife.
No one expected that Ryan would be so decisive in drawing his knife and injuring someone.
They also didn't expect that the other party came to rescue people and didn't care about the life of Master Gannix at all?
Moreover, they had no doubt that if anyone dared to utter any threatening words again , this guy would not hesitate to poke a bloody hole in Young Master George again.
Young Master George was already in tears, and he wailed at his subordinates who had already lost four fingers and been stabbed because of their beeping, "Please stop talking nonsense... Will you do as he says?"
The senior executives of the Rosas family looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.
At this time, [Poison Hand] Gizela and several high-ranking members of the Rosas family looked at each other and cast a subtle look.
The next moment, the white-robed wizard named Pickle understood something and said coldly to the guards: "Do as he says!"
Ryan shrugged nonchalantly, smiled awkwardly, and said, "That's right, if he had cooperated earlier, Young Master George wouldn't have to suffer such grievances..."
With the order from the top, the assassin put down the dagger and took out an iron key.
With a "click", the lock opened.
Gannix was like a fish returning to water, feeling the presence of fighting spirit.
He was released, walked to Ryan, and said with a little concern: "Mr. Lei...you don't have to worry about me. If you have a chance, please find a way out by yourself."
Although he had temporarily lifted the chains, Gannix was well aware that the crisis had not been resolved.
On the contrary, Ryan has been exposed and it will be even more dangerous.
Now they are surrounded, and even though they have hostages, their chances of escaping are slim.
The only way out is the exit of the maze behind him, but it has been surrounded by people from the Rosas family.
If they wanted to take the hostages away, the margin of error was extremely low. The masters of the Rosas family were not fools and would definitely not let them go.
If you are not careful, you will end up dead.
Gannix knew that Ryan was very powerful. He could escape by himself, but he might not be able to take him with him.
But Gannix didn't want the benefactor who had saved their lives twice to put himself in danger because of him.
What's more, he wanted to search on this floor, hoping to hear news that his mother was still alive.
…
Hearing this, Ryan shook his head, signaling him not to say more, and said calmly: "Follow me."
The Ganniks were also very smart. Looking at Ryan's confident look, he suddenly felt that there was still hope for the situation to turn around.
But suddenly, he also thought of a problem.
Hey...how did Mr. Ryan appear here?
He thought of his mother's extraordinary ability as an illusionist, which could easily deceive people's perception. That's why she deceived the enemies and mixed in with the hunting group.
But this Mr. Ryan is a fighter...oh, no, it seems he is also a doctor.
But no matter what, how did he hide from those guys and get down to the second floor of the ruins?
Could it be... that he was already here?
Ryan didn't explain much, he just grabbed the hostage and started to retreat.
Gannix knew there was no point in saying anything more at this point, so he followed closely behind in silence.
But what he didn't expect was that Ryan didn't lead him into the maze, but went in the opposite direction, to the depths of the hall outside the encirclement.
"Everyone step back..."
Ryan walked and drank with everyone.
Even though we have hostages, we cannot be careless.
These guys could even surround and kill a fifth-level snake king, so he didn't dare to give them the slightest chance to form a formation and kill him.
The Rosas family members watched their young master being kidnapped, and they dared not be careless at all.
Just when Ryan was about to stab him again to scare him, the old wizard in white robe seemed to have received some hint and suddenly became very calm. He said again: "Do as he says."
After hearing this, the tightly packed battle formation finally opened up and split into two sides.
However, at this moment, the people from the Rosas family all showed sarcasm on their faces.
They thought that if the other party chose to walk out of the ruins after rescuing people, they might have to be cautious, but they didn't expect that they would dare to stay in this hall.
Living in this enclosed underground palace is simply a way to death!
…
Ryan held Young Master George hostage and led Gannix out of the encirclement.
But at this moment, an accident happened.
Because he suddenly heard a prompt from the system.
[Ding! An unknown paralysis toxin has been detected in the air. Please be cautious...]
