Chapter 690: Chapter 273: Proof (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_3

“Are you kidding me? Having Lord Rein stay behind? And then expect Lord Rein to come to our rescue once again?”

The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone in the conference room to hear.

Initially, Langgeler felt uncomfortable under the scrutiny of the members of the Bear Fang Squad.

Now, after hearing what the beautiful Great Knight had said, he became slightly annoyed and angry.

Suddenly, he stood up and walked over to a Knight Armor mannequin in the corner of the conference room.

“Swoosh!”

“Clang!!!”

A cross-shaped silver light flashed across, and the Knight mannequin was instantly cut into four pieces, which fell to the ground.

“At least Intermediate Secret Technique level swordsmanship…”

“Plus, with the strength of a Peak Knight, that’s indeed very strong!”

Immediately, the members of the Bear Fang Squad stopped staring at him and began to whisper among themselves.

“I think, my plan should be fine.” Langgeler, having sheathed his Longsword, looked around and spoke in a deep tone.

Rein originally didn’t mind who would lead this mission.

But after the suggestion from Langgeler, the captain of the Blade Squad, he felt it necessary to say something.

Considering that the Black Flame Cult was difficult enough to deal with, and now with the addition of the Secret Snake Sect, he still needed help.

If these people acted recklessly and suffered significant losses, it wouldn’t be good for him either.

“This ‘Bloodburner’ Raksul’s strength is probably much stronger than an ordinary high priest, plus an unpredictable Freeman, I advise you against it.”

“It’s very likely that the ambush will fail and result in heavy casualties,” Rein stated.

“How do you know that this Raksul is much stronger than an ordinary high priest?” Langgeler retorted.

“Because the main priest of the Black Flame Cult in Welsh County, whom I killed a few days ago, used to be Raksul’s deputy. He was already difficult to deal with, so yes, I believe Raksul is very powerful.”

Langgeler was taken aback and gave Rein a serious look, somewhat disbelieving, “Huh? You killed a county’s cult high priest by yourself?”

“How can you prove it?”

“I can vouch for Viscount Rein!” the capable woman Olena straightened her back and said.

Although Olena had said this, the members of Langgeler’s Blade Squad, including Langgeler himself, still looked at Rein with skepticism.

This made Rein feel quite uncomfortable.

He had good intentions in offering a warning, yet they treated it with disdain.

Displeased as he was, he still needed to stop them.

Rein glanced at the corner where the Knight mannequin had been. He thought that perhaps he should demonstrate his strength like Langgeler had, to save himself some trouble.

Once a fight broke out, his strength would be exposed sooner or later. It would be better to show his power now rather than later.

With this in mind, Rein also stood up and walked toward another Knight mannequin situated in a different corner.

Everyone curiously watched Rein.

Many speculated in their minds whether it could be…

The next second, Rein suddenly drew the Skull Warhammer, and in the shocked gaze of the onlookers, swiftly struck the Knight mannequin.

“Buzz!” A piercing shockwave sound emerged.

Following that, “Crash!” all of a sudden!

The steel Knight mannequin shattered into nail-size steel fragments, scattering on the ground.

“Adva… Advanced Secret Skill!” The talkative young man of the Blade Squad gaped at the scene.

The young man who had been holding a gold-embossed book also raised his head to take a serious look at Rein.

Langgeler was dumbfounded by the spectacle!

The other party looked barely twenty years old, and he had mastered an Advanced Secret Skill?

Langgeler couldn’t help feeling like he had wasted his time!

Rein, however, looked at the pile of steel fragments and thought, ‘I wonder if this Knight mannequin is an antique. Now that two are broken, I hope Cleya won’t blame me.’

“Ahem… Since Lord Rein deems it inappropriate, let’s put it aside for now,” Langgeler forced a small smile and said.

…

The meeting ended soon in a friendly atmosphere, and the consensus reached was to first scout out the enemy situation.

Everyone left and went to the pre-arranged guest rooms to rest; there were plenty of rooms available in the Count Mansion.

Alexandria purposely walked ahead of Rein, her curvaceous body swaying as she moved.

As she reached the doorway, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and said:

“Lord Rein, I haven’t yet thanked you for last time. How about you come and sit in my room?”

As Alexandria spoke, she licked her pink lips with her tender tongue.

Rein was taken aback!

‘Sit’?

It was more likely ‘do.’

In that moment, Alexandria slowly placed her hand on Rein’s sturdy chest, her beautiful brown eyes lingering on him.

This overwhelmed Rein!

“Um… Alexandria, what happened last time was something I should have done.”

Just then, Rein suddenly felt a gaze on him and couldn’t help but look up.

He saw Shadia, dressed as a maid, standing at one end of the corridor, looking calmly at Rein and Alexandria, pursing her lips.

Although Shadia didn’t say anything, being seen by her made Rein feel a bit embarrassed.

“Cough… Alexandria, I need to go to the training room to practice some Combat Skills, let’s talk next time.”

“Oh? Do you fancy the training room, Lord Rein? That’s no problem.” As she spoke, Alexandria suddenly noticed Rein’s unnatural expression and followed his gaze.
