"Is this the Glenbagen Family's true method of controlling the Dark Guards?"

After stepping out of the room, Liens sighed.

As long as a person desires something that another possesses, they will inevitably be exploited by others.

Perhaps, for the Glenbagen Family, the "contract" is merely a safeguard; controlling human nature is their means of controlling people's hearts.

Even without the "contract," most Dark Guards would likely choose to follow the Glenbagen Family.

"But it's a pity you met me… Tonight, let me test the depths of the family."

Liens thought, then turned and walked towards the main district of the family's compound.

That was where the Glenbagen Family's masters and young ladies resided; he planned to start tonight's test there.

…

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

Liens skillfully infiltrated the main district.

After killing a few patrolling guards, he quickly arrived at Adonis and Miss Heidi's residence.

As a regret from before, he planned to start with Adonis.

Liens deftly used the longsword in his hand to pry open the house's front door, gently pushed it open, and then swaggered inside.

Adonis's house was very large, with a master bedroom, secondary bedrooms, a living room, and other rooms, and their sizes were generally not small.

At this time, Adonis should still be lying on the master bedroom bed with his wife, Miss Heidi.

Liens didn't need to worry that this small movement would wake them.

In fact, if they had overexerted themselves before sleeping,

Even if he opened the master bedroom door, they wouldn't be able to notice it immediately.

Just like now…

Liens didn't linger in the living room, walking straight towards the master bedroom.

With the same practiced technique, Liens easily opened the door, which indicated that he had entered and exited here many times before.

"Hmm?"

Liens smiled as he saw Adonis and Heidi lying on the bed.

He wasn't afraid of being discovered; he was only worried that Adonis wouldn't be there, which would make his efforts futile.

Lightening his steps, he walked to the bedside, and Liens launched a "Three-hit Combo" towards Adonis's head.

Within the dim room, a streak of silver light flashed by at extreme speed.

Liens knew that Adonis had a protection ring, so his first move was a direct killing blow.

If nothing unexpected happened…

The rising magical barrier would be directly pierced by his longsword, which would then go straight into Adonis's brain, killing him.

However, accidents always happen.

The moment Liens launched his attack, Adonis unexpectedly woke up.

This was very incredible…

Because with Adonis's swordsmanship realm, he simply didn't possess the "swordsmanship instinct" that allows for reactions to crises.

Moreover, Liens's attack was integrated into the wind, making very little sound, even less than his footsteps.

Therefore, Adonis couldn't have been awakened by sound.

In his daze, Adonis saw a longsword rapidly thrusting towards him.

Under the crisis, his body's potential erupted, allowing him to quickly move his body in an emergency.

"Pfft!"

"Ah!"

The longsword pierced Adonis's shoulder, followed by his screams.

Liens pulled out the longsword with a slight surprise, and blood directly spurted onto the bed.

Adonis's screams also woke Heidi, who was sleeping beside him; Heidi sat up in a panic.

The quilt that had covered her graceful figure also fell away, revealing her porcelain-like, proud physique.

Evidently…

Adonis and Heidi either liked to sleep nude, or they had just gone through "battle" and were too lazy to put on pajamas.

Before Heidi could even react to the situation, the longsword, fast as a blur, had already slashed towards her throat.

"Clang!"

The protection ring's magical barrier once again blocked Liens's attack.

However, Liens merely glanced at it calmly, then struck out with his sword again at extreme speed.

And this time, no accident occurred.

The beautiful head, still bearing an expression of unvanquished panic, rolled onto the warm bed, gradually stained red with blood.

"Heidi!"

Adonis, witnessing this scene, let out an angry and sorrowful cry.

He covered his bleeding wound with his hand, while looking at the murderer before him with eyes that wished to tear him limb from limb.

Adonis clenched his fist and angrily swung his uninjured hand at Liens.

Faced with such a powerless attack, Liens naturally had to give him an equally powerless despair.

Liens struck again with his sword; the sharp and swift longsword, like cutting tofu, severed Adonis's swinging right hand.

"Ah!"

Adonis screamed.

"Clang!"

Liens continued to strike, slashing at Adonis's throat, forcing out the effect of the protection ring.

He continued to strike, along the same trajectory, the longsword slashing towards Adonis's throat with lightning speed.

But at this fatal moment, Adonis actually raised his left hand, which had been pierced through the shoulder, to block the attack.

His severed arm fell onto the bed, and hot blood almost stained the entire bed red.

"You truly surprise me."

"Can you tell me what exactly is protecting you from death?"

After severing Adonis's arms, Liens stopped attacking and calmly spoke to Adonis.

Liens wondered if his current cessation of attack was influenced by something?

But he genuinely wanted to know what secret Adonis held?

Including previous instances, Adonis always managed to escape from his grasp time and again, and today seemed to be no different.

Liens estimated that someone from the Glenbagen Family would rush in to rescue Adonis very soon.

Because Adonis's screams had attracted passersby.

This reason was very reasonable and sufficient.

Most importantly, this person would at least have to be capable of stopping him.

So, Liens was also a little expectant.

If Adonis truly had some special quality…

Then the person who would appear next should be a strong individual.

"Bang!"

A figure directly burst through the wall and appeared in the master bedroom.

Through the faint light, Liens saw that the figure's face was slightly aged, but his body was very robust and muscular.

And through his elemental vision, he could even see a pure fiery red on him, without any impurities.

From this, it seemed that the newcomer was at least a knight who had completed the purification process.

Liens looked meaningfully at Adonis, who was still wailing.

What was it that granted him such fortune?

Could he be the legendary protagonist?

Speaking of which, the elemental reaction on Adonis's body was also predominantly red.

The robust old man's gaze swept around, instantly understanding the situation.

But seeing the brutally murdered body on the bed, he ultimately couldn't suppress the sorrow in his heart; he lunged to the bedside, picked up the blood-stained head, and cried out:

"Heidi!"

"My poor daughter."
