“If Toby loses, it can only mean one thing,” someone said. They all looked at him.

“There’s no doubt that Mu En has definitely inherited the throne. There’s no other reason to explain it.”

Everyone fell into silence. Everyone here were old men who had lived for hundreds of years. How could they not understand the meaning of this sentence?

Carrying out the noble inheritance meant that they had been chosen by a certain noble.

The few of them were anxious. Usually, even if Mu En’s strength increased, they would not say anything. After all, it was too late. The current Mu En did not have any family background.

They could not follow Mu En just because of this.

However, if Mu En had a noble behind him, it would be completely different.

“It seems like there’s going to be another big change in the blood breeds.”

“Yeah, I just don’t know if it’s going to be a reshuffle between the nobles this time, or…”

No matter what it was, the last few people did not leave.

In the blood cloud, Mu En looked at Toby, who was becoming crazier and crazier. It was much more serious than Albert. It seemed like the stronger he was, the greater the side effects.

Since he had seen this secret technique, Mu En had a rough idea about it, so he didn’t stay silent anymore.

“Blood Battle Technique: The Second of the Seven Prisons: Karmic Fire.”

A wisp of black flame rose from Mu En’s fingertip. Then, it engulfed the blood cloud in the sky and devoured it completely. The black flame completely devoured Toby.

In the end, he turned into ashes, and the famous Count Toby disappeared from this world.

In this world, life was so fragile. Even the vampires, known as the undead, could only turn into ashes in the face of absolute strength.

This made Mu En have a clearer understanding of his strength. He could not delay any longer. He had to sign-in every day and get the rewards to improve himself.

And it was best to do it in those special places.

“Your subordinate greets you, your grace.”

Mu En had just landed when the few people who chose to watch immediately sank down on one knee.

“Please let us follow you, your grace.”

Mu En was not surprised by this,

in this world, the strong preyed on the weak. The fittest survived. Following the strong was extremely normal behavior.

However, Mu En would not choose to believe them just because of a simple oath of allegiance.

At the moment, other than himself and Elford, the butler who had been guarding his house for generations, Mu En did not trust anyone else.

“You want me to believe you just because of one sentence? I remember that you were loyal to Toby.”

“Your grace, we don’t know anything about you and Toby. We just happened to run into Toby.”

However, Mu En did not respond.

The pressure placed upon the five people became stronger and stronger. They felt like they were about to be crushed. At this moment, they had a clear conception of Mu En’s strength.

“I am willing to tattoo the duke’s family emblem. From now on, I am willing to become the duke’s servant.”

The rest of the people were shocked when they heard this. Choosing to be loyal and becoming a servant were not the same thing.

After being tattooed with the family emblem, they would be completely tied to Mu En. No matter who it was, after being tattooed with the family emblem, they would be loyal to the head of the family from the bottom of their hearts. This meant that they would never betray him.

Even Mu En was a little surprised.

Of course, it was not all bad. The good thing was that when the family head’s strength increased, the servants would also receive corresponding benefits. It could be said that it was a relationship of both glory and loss.

Moreover, once the family emblem was tattooed, only the head of the family could remove it. Other than that, there was no other way. Even if the throne came personally, it would be useless.

Currently, only Butler Elford was left in Mu En’s line of servants. Moreover, because of his father’s premature death, the butler’s strength had not increased in the slightest over the years.

This was also why it was a huge gamble!

If one won the gamble, he would no longer have to worry about any hurdles. If he lost the gamble, he would be stuck in the same place for the rest of his life.

“We are willing to become the duke’s servants and swear to follow the duke to the death.” The other people had also figured out the crux of the matter. The throne would definitely not accept servants.

However, Mu En could be said to be the spokesperson of the throne, and he did not have any assets at the moment.

It was the time when he was lacking people. If he seized the opportunity now, his future would be limitless.

“Alright then!” Mu En definitely would not refuse the addition of a few servants for no reason.

Anyway, he did not have any losses, so he did not want to waste his good fighting strength.

After taking care of everything, Mu En asked Lucius to bring this group of people to the butler, Elford.

He asked them to listen to Elford’s commands. Mu En would personally make a trip to the territory that originally belonged to him and kill all those who could not be taken in.

As for Mu En, he went on his own sign-in trip.

He would not be blinded by this short-term victory. If he was not powerful, those people would not submit so easily.

…

That night, an extremely young guest walked into a hotel in the city of Altonia.

“This lord is also here to attend Lord Altonia’s Banquet?” The boss handed over the room key and asked casually.
