Volume 1: The Nobles Who Lost Their Territory Chapter 15: Rising to Fame
In the basement of the Akron gang, Marvin reaped a rich harvest.
After driving away a group of bewildered dancers, he swept through Diaphis's wealth.
After eliminating some of the simplest traps, he got a valuable loot.
The most important thing is money.
There were six small bags full of silver coins, each of which contained at least one or two hundred silver coins; there was also a small bag of jewels. Based on his accounting skills, he preliminarily estimated that the jewels were worth several thousand silver coins, which just needed a suitable place to cash them out.
The most important thing is that he also found a secret compartment in Diafis' bedroom.
There is an agate green pocket hidden in the secret compartment, which contains 26 gold coins!
This is the real wizard gold coin commonly used in the south! Each gold coin is worth 1,000 silver coins!
26 wizard gold coins means 26,000 silver coins!
As far as Marvin could remember, the total tax revenue from his territory last year was only over 2,000 silver coins.
Running a mafia is obviously not that profitable, so the money must come from somewhere else.
Unfortunately, Diaphis was already dead. This guy was too powerful, and Marvin's plan to capture him alive failed.
However, when he was about to leave with some regret, he suddenly found a familiar face in a small room.
He was a young man, short and ugly. When Marvin found him, he was lying on the ground unconscious.
There was also a dancer with torn clothes in the room. She looked very terrified and huddled in the corner, staring in surprise at Marvin and Isabel who broke in through the door.
The little girl knew her.
With the help of Isabel, Marvin had a brief communication with the dancer, then gave her some silver coins and let her go.
" What an unlucky guy... When he was raping himself, he was pushed down by the dancer and his head hit the corner of the table and he passed out."
"He doesn't look dead yet. If I remember correctly, his name is Farmar. According to seniority, he is my cousin!"
"Farmer is the second son of Uncle Miller, and he actually showed up in the basement of the Akron gang."
"It seems that it is obvious who is behind this."
A cold light flashed in Marvin's eyes, and he handed a small bag in his hand to Isabel.
"This is your portion. It is enough to hire a priest from the Silver Church to treat your mother."
The little girl shook her head. "It won't take that much. And I'm not helping at all."
"You are a good guide, and this is what you deserve." Marvin smiled and said, "Let's go. After you cure your mother's illness, use the money to find a safe place."
"And then?" Isabel asked, "I mean, what about you, Mr. Mask?"
"I have a lot of things to do." Marvin glanced at his cousin who was lying on the ground. "If you and your mother have nowhere else to go, you can go to the White River Valley in a month. The lord there will accept you."
"But wasn't the White River Valley conquered by a group of gnolls?" The little girl was obviously not completely ignorant of the outside world.
The crimson color in her eyes became more intense.
Ma Wen had a guess in his mind, but he had too many urgent things to do on hand, so he had to put his guess on hold if he wanted to verify whether this little girl was really so extraordinary.
"It will be different in a month." Marvin rubbed her head and said, "Go ahead. Be careful and don't let anyone target you."
Isabel carefully hid the purse, hummed, looked at Marvin again, and finally quickly left the basement.
Marvin looked at the unconscious Farmar and suddenly kicked him hard.
The poor guy groaned and gradually woke up from his coma.
"Who are you? Where's that bitch? Damn it, call Diaphis over here."
When Farmar woke up, he was furious.
Marvin kicked him again without any hesitation.
Farmar, whose body was hollowed out by alcohol and sex, flew out directly.
"How dare you..." Before he could finish his words, Marvin stepped on his chest and said coldly:
"You don't seem to understand the situation. Diafice has been killed by me. In fact, after tonight, the Akron gang will no longer exist."
"From what I see from the way you are dressed, you look either rich or noble, so you probably aren't a gangster. So, I have some questions for you."
"You can choose not to answer, of course."
As he spoke, he showed his scimitar.
Farmar was so frightened that his face turned pale and he started to tremble.
"Don't kill me, I can give you any amount of money you want!"
"My father is very rich. You can ask around. There is a villa in the wealthy area. It belongs to our family. We will soon acquire a territory. We will become even richer. I can afford any amount of money you want! Don't kill me!"
Marvin said leisurely: "Territory? Are you still a noble?"
Farmar nodded hurriedly and said, "Although it's not yet, it will be soon. As long as that fool dies, my father will be the heir of the White River Valley. He has bribed the officials of River Beach City, so it's not a big deal to quietly transfer a noble title. What's more, we are originally a family. My father Miller is the younger brother of the current lord of the White River Valley!"
"So, you're cooperating with the Akron gang just to get rid of that stupid guy you mentioned?" Ma Wenming asked knowingly.
Farmar swallowed his saliva, nodded hurriedly and said, "That's it. That fool stole the territory that we deserved, and we are just taking back what belongs to us. If you are Diafis's enemy, don't kill me. He and I are just temporary partners."
"Really, as long as you let me go, I will give you any amount of money you want. Don't kill me."
Marvin silently watched the update on the taskbar and shook his head slightly.
Sure enough, the mastermind behind all this was his uncle who had suddenly returned rich!
After completing the side quest, 100 general experience points appeared on Marvin's character panel. At the same time, the second side quest [Revenge] appeared.
[Revenge]: Now that you know who is behind this, you must do your best to seek revenge. Because as long as he is still in River Beach City, he will prevent you from taking back your territory. This is a battle of interests. Even if there is a blood relationship, he will not give up and continue to harm you. Perhaps you should strike first.
The mission reward is 500 general experience points, which is quite generous.
In fact, even if there was no such mission, Marvin would definitely go looking for trouble with his uncle. He had harmed him to this point, and he had such a vicious heart - Marvin would never let him go!
…
Seeing Marvin shaking his head, Farmar panicked: "I'm not lying to you! I can really pay you a large sum of money!"
"Maybe, money is not what I want." Marvin gently took off his mask.
Farmar was stunned for a moment.
"How is it possible...you...how could you..." He stood there stupidly.
"I sometimes wonder, how can humans be so vicious as to attack their loved ones?"
Marvin said calmly, "Perhaps you can tell me the answer, dear cousin?"
Farmar suddenly felt a surge of courage and tried to stand up!
"You're Marvin!"
"You're trying to scare me. You think you can scare me with a knife?"
"I'm not afraid of you, you bastard!"
Marvin took a half step back, and Farmar climbed up with a ferocious look on his face and pounced on him fiercely.
"You should have died long ago! White River Valley is mine!"
Whoosh, a cold light flashed, and a head fell to the ground.
"Poor creature..."
Marvin shook his head and did not stay in the basement for long. Under the cover of night, he left the Pyroxene Tavern.
…
The next morning, the news that the Akron gang had been destroyed overnight had spread to many forces, big and small, in River Beach City.
The other two teams were spared because they were sent out to quell the unexpected situation, and they were quickly absorbed by other gangs.
People have said that the Akron gang has offended a powerful figure who wields twin swords, wears a mask, and has extraordinary martial arts skills.
He alone wiped out most of the elite Akron gangs overnight, with terrifying strength.
The legend of [Double-Sword Mask] has since spread in River Beach City.
In a villa in the wealthy area of Hetan City, a wealthy middle-aged man had a pale face.
Above the hall, a stretcher was placed on the ground, covered with a thick white cloth.
"Master Miller, Master Farmar..."
An old man with a wrinkled face, leaning on a cane, lifted the white cloth and took a look, revealing a trace of pity.
"【Double Blade Mask】...?" Miller clenched his fists tightly, "There is no such person in River Beach City! Could he be an enemy of Diaphis?"
"Do you want to issue a reward?" the old man asked.
Miller narrowed his eyes and shook his head. After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go find someone from the Shadow Spider Society!"
"I will tear the murderer who killed my son into pieces!"
"Also, continue to send people to look for that kid Marvin. As long as he is still in River Beach City, it will be impossible not to find him."
"I can't wait for my dear nephew to meet his daddy!"
…
There was an undercurrent in the riverside city. However, Marvin had left the riverside city early.
After a night's rest, he was full of energy. After purchasing some necessary items, he left the city and headed northwest.
This time I'll need at least a week to come back.
When he comes back, Miller will die.
His current strength is still a little insufficient. Although he can destroy the Akron gang single-handedly, Miller is not so easy to deal with.
From the information he got, there were at least two second-level professionals in Miller's villa!
This is the advantage of having money.
As long as you have enough wealth, there will always be strong people working for you. Miller's villa is even equipped with a small team of mercenaries. In name, it is an employment relationship for Miller's business, but in fact it is a private army!
It was obvious that he had bribed the Riverbank City Hall.
It's not that easy to kill him . Marvin still needs some time to make arrangements and improve his strength.
This time we headed north, our destination was a small mountain in the remnant of the Hall Mountains.
The mountain had been uninhabited for so long that people had almost forgotten what was there.
But Marvin remembered.
[Scarlet Monastery] was one of the few copies near Riverside City that he remembered very clearly.
There lives a group of scarlet servants and a lich who failed to become a god is sleeping there.
