Chapter 85: The Start Of A Conspiracy

Alva’s eyes widened as he looked at Moto and said, “Why didn’t you tell me in advance!”

“You’re too honest. You might have aroused their suspicion, so it’s more appropriate for me to do it…”

A creepy smile appeared on Moto’s face again.

Before the duel, Old Man White had discussed this plan with Moto in his room.

The nobles’ interest towards the Holy City was divided.

Although they appeared to be in harmony with each other on the surface, in private, they were doing underhanded deeds to ensure the downfall of the other families.

After all, there were only so much resources to go around.

Since the White family lost the election, the nobles who played by the rules had all gone to support the new governor.

This made Old Man White very insecure.

Therefore, he had purposely invited the important nobles to watch the duel.

In truth, he wanted to wipe out the nobles together with the trash from the Federal Academy!

In this way, both his reputation and his control over the Holy City would be protected.

Moreover, since the court had always been in cahoots with the White family, if needed, they could just cover up the incident!

Old Man White knew Alva’s character well. Alva, who valued the honor of nobles, would never do such a thing. As such, he decided to hide the incident from him!

Meanwhile, Moto, who rarely appeared in front of people, was the best choice to conduct the task!

“Alright… but the Estelle and the Frank family are not here. It’s better for us to be careful…” The weak Alva accepted the reality of the situation and gave his brother a kind reminder.

Moto had a strange expression on his face. He looked at his brother and said with a smile, “It’s alright. You don’t have to worry about these things. Not now, and not in the future..”

Alva did not understand the meaning behind these words. After hearing the nobles’ screams and seeing that there was no one around, he put down his pride and closed his eyes, wanting to rest for a while.

Suddenly!

A hand grabbed his neck!

It had a strong grip!

“Oh… !”

He could clearly feel his skin being punctured!

Moreover, an irresistible suction force was sucking away his blood!

Alva stared wide-eyed at Moto who was attacking him! He could not believe his brother’s actions!

He mentally told himself that it was not real!

He was in a nightmare!

However, the pain on his neck was very real!

“Are… Are you crazy? I am your brother… I’m the heir of the family…”

The blood was drawn faster and faster, but Moto still had a smile on his face. “Brother, you’d better rest in peace. After all, there can only be one head of the family, and I really want that throne…”

“B*stard… Wouldn’t father learn of what you’ve done?”

“So what? Andrew is dead, and Adrian has become an ugly cripple. Our family doesn’t allow women to be the heir. And with you out of the picture, even if father learns of the truth, he’ll be forced to pick me as the next heir!”

Moto’s tone gradually became heavier, and the movements of his hands also became heavier.

Dozens of seconds later, the pale-faced Alva was drained of his blood, and he left the world with an expression of anger and fear.

The civilians’ seats were also attacked by the vampire bats! For a moment, chaos broke out!

The Diamond Class students, who were led by Jacques, also stood up and fought against the bats while escorting the crowd to safety!

The scene of Moto killing his elder brother Alva was recorded by Diana’s Global Sentinel . She believed that it would come in handy in the future.

“Freezing Arrival!”

Similarly, Locke also joined in the battle to save the civilians. The three rose gold Battle Beasts mobilized under his command.

They killed many bats.

However, Locke realized that the bats’ numbers was not decreasing.

On the contrary, more and more of them were spawning!

However, Locke was aware of the culprit.

After all, he had witnessed Moto killing his brother with his own eyes!

“Instructors! There are still many civilians who have not evacuated yet. Take them away together with my classmates!”

After commanding the Black Tortoise to bite more than ten small bats to death, Trista turned around and exclaimed, “Are you crazy!? You kids are the ones who should leave! Jacques and I will cover you guys!”

John, who had not fully recovered, said, “Locke is right! We are too weak to fight right now. If we don’t evacuate together with the students, we’ll all die here! There’s no need to worry about Locke. He is the most suitable person to cover for us! I believe that if the old man were here, he would say the same as well!”

That was indeed the case. John was seriously injured, and Tristan was depleted of mana.

On the other hand, Locke was still full of energy. If they did not leave soon, they would only become burdens to Locke.

Tristan let out a bitter laugh. He did not expect that as an instructor, he would need to be protected by a student.

However, he quickly erased this thought.

“Alright! I’ll count on You!”

With that, he then supported John to meet up with Jacques.

“Where… Are you guys going?” A cold voice rang out.

“Hehe! None of your business!” After saying that, the Fire Element in Locke’s hand transformed into a bow and arrow. Following that, Locke then fired a flaming arrow at Moto!

A few bats quickly appeared in front of their master, and they had sacrificed themselves to block the shot.

However, Moto was unfazed by the death of his Battle Beasts. Instead, he smiled and said, “Locke, you’re really special. I knew that you were special since I’ve first laid eyes on you. You are a really interesting specimen!”

Upon hearing this, Locke felt goosebumps crawling up his skin.

“Unfortunately, I don’t share the same sentiments towards you…” Locke responded with a frown.

Moto did not pay attention to Locke’s words. Instead, he used his nose to sniff in Locke’s direction.

“Hmm… Your blood must be very delicious. Why don’t you let me sample a bit of it…”

“Come and get it then!”

After saying that, Locke fired several more arrows at Moto!

However, Moto blocked the shots using the same method as before.

“Why don’t use another move. This move… Won’t work on me, hehehe…” Moto’s dark and cruel smile sent chills down Locke’s spine.

“Alright!” Locke’s intuition told him that the person in front of him was stronger than anyone he had ever faced!

…

The Howling Valley was filled with strong winds that night. The wild Daemons that were originally resting in the valley seemed to have detected the appearance of powerhouses and they immediately dispersed.

“Hmm… Moto should have struck by now…” Old Man White, who was sitting on a big rock, looked at his watch and confirmed the time again.
