After the mysterious black shadow had judged the strength of Joelson at the first moment, it did not hesitate at all and directly took out a short-range communication magic tool from its pocket, this was the only way they could contact the current head of the Elizabeth family, Edward.
“Master…”
The black figure subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He looked in the direction of Joelson, still in disbelief.
“Speak. What exactly is going on?”
The black figure nodded and continued to speak.
“Judging from the other party’s appearance, I’m afraid that he’s not from the inner city at all. His appearance is very unfamiliar.”
“I’m afraid that the other party’s strength has already completely surpassed the peak of the deity domain. According to my speculation, it’s very likely that the other party has already reached the demigod level…”
The magic stone in the black figure’s hand lit up slightly, as if Edward was deep in thought.
“So what if he’s a demigod?”
“He’ll pay the corresponding price for killing Bolen!”
“Although a demigod isn’t considered a weakling in the underground city, in front of our Elizabeth family, he probably isn’t an existence that can cover the skies with a single hand.”
“As long as the ancestor is still alive, these people will forever be trampled under the feet of our Elizabeth family!”
Edward said coldly.
“Why did the other party kill Bolen?”
The black shadow’s eyes were tightly shut, as if it was connecting to something.
At the same time, the other two black shadows suddenly stopped moving. They did not care about what was happening and immediately closed their eyes like the black shadow.
The three black shadows were one and possessed the ability to share memories.
How heaven-defying was this ability?
It was to the extent that after the Elizabeth family discovered this black shadow, they immediately began to nurture it.
After about three seconds, the black shadow slowly opened his eyes. There was an answer in his eyes.
“Reporting to the family head, second brother has already headed to the Kardas family to understand the general situation.”
The black shadow pondered for a moment. In the end, he did not choose to lie and continued to speak.
“It was the young master who did not snatch the resplendent gemstone from the hands of that gentleman. This was the reason why he was so flustered and wanted to forcefully snatch it. I did not expect that this gentleman’s strength was hidden so deeply.”
“That gentleman probably did not know about the Elizabeth family in the inner city either. The young master had repeatedly harassed him. This was the only way to kill the young master.”
The moment the black shadow finished speaking, Edward sneered.
“Even if Bolen is a little unruly and needs to be dealt with, he doesn’t deserve to die!”
“It seems that this kid doesn’t put our Elizabeth family in his eyes at all.”
“The big families in our inner city are still as silent as ever. It seems that the commoners in the outer city don’t recognize our Elizabeth family anymore.”
Edward’s eyes were dark as he coldly looked at the distant void.
Bolen was the treasure of the Elizabeth family. He was the child that Edward valued the most.
Now that he had been killed by Joelson, Edward naturally flew into a rage.
“It seems that it is necessary to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. Warn these commoners about the consequences of provoking our inner city families.”
Edward snorted coldly and had already issued an order to the black shadow.
“Master… I’m afraid that doing this will make his majesty angry…”
The black shadow pondered for a moment before finally choosing to voice out the thoughts in his heart.
“I will naturally seek forgiveness from his majesty!”
“I don’t want to be the head of the Elizabeth family now. I only want to be a good father to Bolen!”
Edward took a deep breath and stood up from his seat.
Ever since he became the head of the Elizabeth family, how long had it been since Edward took good care of his child, Bolen?
Even he himself couldn’t remember clearly.
Before Edward could get out of the complicated official business, he didn’t expect Bolen to die so suddenly. How could Edward not be enraged by such an ending?
“Men, take me to the sacrificial hall.”
Edward said coldly.
The middle-aged woman’s pupils suddenly constricted when she heard Edward’s words.
She was Edward’s wife. At this moment, she naturally understood what Edward wanted to do.
“Edward, have you really thought it through?”
“You have not sat firmly in the position of the head of the family. If you wake up the old ancestor now, I’m afraid that your brother will immediately think of a way to get you to step down.”
Edward snorted coldly. He did not listen to the middle-aged woman’s dissuasion and continued to stride out of the door.
“I don’t think I should take the position of the head of the family!”
“Bolen’s life is gone. Even if the Elizabeth family is buried with him, I will not hesitate!”
As she watched Edward’s back leaving into the distance, a helpless expression flashed across the middle-aged woman’s eyes.
She was also devastated by the death of Bolen, but she was also aware of what would happen to the couple if Edward lost his position as the family head.
The middle-aged woman did not dare to tarry. She clenched her teeth as she watched Edward’s back disappear. She quickly followed after him.
…
The hall of worship of the Elizabeth family was more like a grand hall than a hall.
The atmosphere here was extremely strange. The walls were filled with all sorts of complicated magic inscriptions.
Edward slowly walked forward and looked at the gigantic coffin before him.
This coffin was entirely gray-black in color. It was enveloped by all sorts of complicated magic arrays. An incomparably powerful magic fluctuation was faintly transmitted from within the coffin.
One had to know that Edward was also an expert in the deity domain. However, it was this fluctuation from within the coffin that suppressed him so much that he could hardly breathe.
“Prepare for the ceremony.”
Edward’s gaze turned ice-cold. He beckoned with his hand as he spoke to the servant.
The servant did not dare to stay any longer. Hurriedly, he brought the tools required for the ceremony to Edward.
There was a crystal, a tray, and an exquisitely carved bone blade.
Edward immediately took out the bone blade, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
In the next moment, the bone knife directly slashed at his wrist.
Fresh blood quickly flowed out!
It dripped onto the crystal, and when the crystal came into contact with the fresh blood, it gradually became ruddy.
After a full 10 minutes of bleeding, the gemstone finally turned into a completely opaque dark red color.
At this moment, a sickly pallor flashed across Edward’s face.
In the next moment, Edward placed the ruby on a groove on the coffin.
In an instant, a mechanical sound rang out!
At this moment, Edward’s wife was late!
Looking at the already activated coffin, despair flashed across the middle-aged woman’s eyes.
She was still a step too late!
