Binding System - Chapter 330 We Killed Him

330  We Killed Him

‘I hope young master Levi doesn’t cause any trouble in Nightshire City.’

Riley, who was riding a horse, said in his head.

Riley and five of Devin’s other subordinates were currently heading to Nightshire City.

Unlike the previous awakeners, they had no intention of killing Ace.

Of course, they knew about Ace’s bounty.

However, they were not interested in it because they only cared about the Holmes family.

“Hey, look! It’s Nightshire City.” a mature man named Tommy said abruptly.

“Finally…we finally reach our destination.” A black-haired man named Kai uttered.

“Hmm?” Riley made his horse run faster when he saw many corpses a few meters in front of them.

“Riley, what’s wrong?” Tommy and the others followed Riley from behind.

“They are subordinates of the Holmes family.” After recognizing several faces, Riley jumped down from his horse to check the corpses. ‘They died a few days ago.’

He noticed that several corpses had been eaten by vultures.

“What happened?” Tommy and the others jumped down from their horses, too.

“They are subordinates of the Holmes family.” Riley responded. “Then, don’t tell me…” Tommy suddenly had a bad feeling.

“Check the corpses one by one.” Riley gave an order.

Tommy and the others did what they were told.

Shortly after that, Kai saw a familiar face among the corpses.

‘Second young master!’

He rushed toward Levi’s corpse.

When he found out that Levi had died, he uttered, “Riley, young master Levi, he…he has died.”

Riley and the others rushed toward Kai.

“Young master Levi?” they gritted their teeth as they saw his corpse.

They traveled to Nightshire City to take him home, but they were too late.

Levi was already dead.

“Riley, let’s go to that city and ask them what happened to young master Levi.” Tommy uttered.

“Alright.” Riley carried Levi’s corpse before finally heading to the entrance gate.

“A barrier?” Kai and the others were shocked after finding out that Nightshire City was protected by a barrier.

However, they stopped thinking about it because they only wanted to know what had happened to Levi. L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l–B1n.

At the same time, Captain Noah’s subordinates were chatting as they guarded the entrance gate.

They immediately stopped talking when they caught sight of Riley because Riley was carrying Levi.

“Friends, I’m Riley, the subordinate of the Holmes family.” Riley stood in front of the barrier. “I want to know what had happened to my young master. Do you know what happened to him?”

“Levi? We killed them a few days ago.” The red-haired man gave an honest answer.

“What?! You guys killed young master Levi?” Riley’s eyes were bloodshot, and an aura of anger burst out of his body.

Not only Riley, but Tommy and the others were also enraged.

They knew their young master often caused trouble, but they should not kill him because he was from the Holmes family.

“We told him to leave many times, but he kept causing trouble, so we decided to teach him a lesson.” The red-haired man explained the reason why they killed Levi and his subordinates.

“That’s right.” The blue-haired man added. “We would not have killed him if he had not caused trouble, so blame your young master for this.”

They did not tell Riley that Ace was the one who killed Levi because they wanted to protect him.

“You! How dare you kill our young master!” Tommy could not suppress his anger and immediately attacked the barrier, trying to destroy it.

He kept firing his arrows at the barrier because he wanted to kill the city guards.

“I will kill you!” like Tommy, Kai, and the others also attacked the barrier.

The city guards still acted calmly when they attacked the barrier.

Tommy and the others did not look strong, so the city guards believed they would not be able to destroy the barrier.

“Another stupid people try to destroy our barrier.”

“Hey, let’s make a bet. How long will it take for them to stop?”

“Sure.”

“Count me in.”

“I will use my lunch snack as a bet. I bet they will stop after ten minutes.”

“I will also use my lunch snack as a bet. I bet they will stop after twelve minutes.”

“Fifteen minutes.”

“Twenty minutes.” “Forty minutes.”

“What?! Forty minutes? There is no way they will keep attacking the barrier for forty minutes. Do you want to lose your lunch snack so badly?”

“Shut up!”

One by one, the city guards began to make a bet. Tommy and the others were furious at the behavior of the city guards. But what made them angry the most was that they could not destroy the barrier.

They had used their strongest skills and magic to attack the barrier, yet the barrier was still fine.

There was not even a single crack line in the barrier, as if no one had attacked it.

“Tch!” Riley put Levi’s corpse on the ground before finally standing up.

“Oh! It seems like the strongest one wants to attack our barrier, too.” the red-haired man uttered.

“Don’t worry. He won’t be able to destroy our barrier, too.” the blue-haired man spoke.

And what they had guessed was right.

Riley could not destroy the barrier, too!

For this reason, Riley looked at the city guards angrily.

“What should we do now?” Kai inquired.

“Let’s go back and report this to our lord.” Riley did not want to waste time because they could not destroy the barrier.

“Alright.” Tommy uttered.

After they left, a yellow-haired man uttered, “It’s forty minutes. It’s forty minutes. I won the bet. Haha.” “Damn! I lost the bet.” The black-haired man sighed.

“Haha. It seems like I will have many snacks later.” The yellow-haired man laughed happily.

‘Thank you, whatever your name is.’

Holmes Family, Courtyard.

Devin was currently in the courtyard with his first child. Like Devin, his first child had red hair and black eyes.

Anyone who saw them would know immediately that they were father and son because their faces resembled each other.

The name of his first child was Ryan.

Unlike Levi, Ryan never caused any problems for his family.

He was also diligent in training.

He even reached Master rank at a young age.

Even though Ryan was not an unparalleled genius, he was still one of the talented awakeners because he reached Master rank at the age of twenty-six.

That was why Devin had a lot of hope in Ryan because he could make their family stronger and more famous.

“Ryan, how is your training?” Devin asked curiously.

“It’s good, father.” Ryan told his father that there was a possibility of him breaking through to the Grandmaster rank before he turned thirty.

“Haha.” Devin laughed happily. “If you can do that, I will grant you one wish. And you can ask me anything with that wish.” “I will try my best, Father.” Ryan’s heart was beating with happiness after hearing his father’s words.

‘I have to break through to the Grandmaster rank before I turn thirty.’

He added in his head.

When Devin was about to say something, Riley and the others appeared.

“Oh? You have returned?” Devin said when he saw them walking toward him.

‘Levi?’

His calm face turned worried when he saw his second child.

“Levi!”

“Second brother!”

Devin and Ryan rushed toward Riley.

“My lord, I’m sorry. Young master Levi was already dead when I reached Nightshire City.” Riley uttered.
