In an instant, the sharp Knight’s Longsword in his hand was cut into small pieces, inch by inch, followed immediately by his right hand wearing plate armor gloves.
"Ah!!" Greenwood screamed miserably.
His fingers of the right hand holding the sword had already been cut off at the base!
"Stop! We’ll pay!" Owen, the steward, was horrified and shouted.
If Greenwood, this key heir groomed by the Drum Family, died here, Owen feared that his trust from the Duke would suffer greatly, and upon return, he’d likely face a dead end.
The reason was simple, he was solely responsible for the investigation into Rein’s situation.
Misjudging Rein’s strength, leading to the death of an heir like Greenwood, would ensure his death.
Now, since Greenwood was only injured, he could recover quickly with witchcraft treatment upon returning to the Imperial City, and the problem wouldn’t be too severe.
"Rein!" Admiral Edward also shouted with a worried expression.
Greenwood’s identity was too sensitive; he was not only a Secret Silver Level Sword Bearer at the Sword Holder Headquarters but also had some connection with Leon Sword Saint, the Imperial Guardian.
Edward wasn’t worried about himself but about Rein’s imminent visit to the Imperial City. Killing Greenwood now was not a wise move.
Just a few centimeters from Greenwood’s widened eyes, the sharp Metal Cutting Net halted.
The feeling of being dragged back from Hell to the mortal world made Greenwood, the trained Secret Silver Level Sword Bearer, break into a cold sweat, and he began to gasp heavily.
"The Drum Family is willing to transfer all shares of the Axon Auction House Mingster Branch to Lord Rein."
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, thanks to Lord Rein’s mercy. However, regarding the transfer of shares, it ultimately requires approval from the Duke, so I need a few days to return to the Imperial City to report back and proceed with the transfer," Eugene, the steward, said, sweating profusely.
"Alright!" Rein nodded, saying.
Soon, Eugene assisted Greenwood in leaving hurriedly, with none of the previous arrogance remaining.
"Captain, will they really honestly transfer the shares to you? I saw the steward’s cunning eyes; he doesn’t seem like a good guy," Neoro frowned slightly, saying.
Since Neoro became a Wizard, his perception had bee much more acute, and he sensed the promise seemed too straightforward.
"Wouldn’t a refusal be better? I’m about to head to the Imperial City, where I can collect debts from the Drum Family; my interest is quite high," Rein smiled slightly, saying.
Actually, Rein had another thought: he suspected the disappearance of Anna’s mother might be related to the Drum Family, something he partially confirmed from the Sam Group last time.
This time, he kept this backup plan partly to allow him to legitimately approach the Drum Family since, after all, the Imperial City Tamriel is filled with formidable figures.
Having a legitimate reason is crucial.
"Hm?" Neoro and the others looked at their captain in surprise.
Going to the Imperial City Tamriel to collect debts from the Duke Family!
Throughout the Mingster Province, if anyone else said that line, they would definitely call the person crazy.
But facing their captain Rein, who had already performed countless miracles, they couldn’t find words to question him.
After all, their experiences told them that no matter how strong the enemy seemed, they were paper tigers in front of their captain.
At this moment, Admiral Edward stepped forward, sighed, and said, "Ah! Rein, even in the Imperial City, the Drum Family is a noble house, with power networked deeply."
"This time..." Admiral Edward hesitated.
"Forget it; let’s not mention this. But Rein, I didn’t expect you to stir so much motion in the Frostwind Prairie in just half a month!" Admiral Edward couldn’t help but smile and say.
Upon hearing this, Evelyn and the others looked at Rein curiously, wanting to know what earth-shattering things Rein had done over at Frostwind Prairie.
Why has their captain seemed like a different person after just half a month?
Not only did his rank rise rapidly, but even his bat style underwent a significant change.
