Warlord Chapter 138

Saurun was wearing a black suit and a white s.h.i.+rt. His handsome appearance and blond hair made him stand out no matter where he went.

However, those who were cautious would notice that Saurun's face was always too pale, and he also had black eyes.

Although he had already gone through the modification of his mental fort.i.tude, it was difficult for him to escape the eyes of those who wanted to know.

There must be a lot of people in the Parkland family's base.

As soon as he woke up today, he was informed by the butler that Old Brent wanted to see him.

Ever since Saurun had been removed from his position as a blood knight, Old Brent hadn't even glanced at his grandson.

Today, knowing that his grandfather was going to meet him, Saurun thought that his bad luck had finally come to an end.

However, when he arrived at the sixteenth floor, in front of Old Broad's main door, Housekeeper Benny's face didn't look very good.

"Young master, don't say anything after you enter. Master is in a bad mood right now."

Benny whispered, opening the door to Sauron's office.

When the door opened, Old Bast's loud bellow came from inside.

Saurun's heart sank. Judging from this battle, as long as one was not a fool, one would know that nothing good would happen.

Naturally, Saurun was no fool. Only G.o.d knew how much he wanted to turn around and leave without having to bear Old Brent's unknown anger.

But since Old Brent wanted to see him, Saurun had no choice but to force himself into the office.

The door closed behind him.

As far as Saurun could see, there were three people in the huge office that seemed to belong to the old days. Other than the head of the family, Old Brent, there were also three people present.

Standing to the right of Old Brent was a middle-aged man who looked very much like Sauron. The only difference was that the man's manicured beard made him look even more imposing.

This man was Saurun's father, Heine. Old Brent had used him as his right-hand man because of his intelligence. He was known as Little Brent in the family.

The older of the two men on the left was Sauron's uncle, Jester.

Jester had a moustache and a schadenfreude smile on his lips.

Next to him was a shy young man, Jester's son, Johansson.

Although Johansson was also a person with the same SeFree Ability as Sauron, he was only a Rank 2 Water Elemental. His reputation in the family was far inferior to Saurun, who was as dazzling as the sun.

After resting at home, although Saurun was addicted to alcohol, he did not degenerate to the point of wasting his power.

Even his imaginary enemy, Zero, was crazily training himself to get rid of the dark shadow that was left in his heart from his raging posture.

During his almost m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic training, Saurun's Fire Elemental Fairy advanced another step, already reaching the fourth step of Fire Elemental Fairy. This also gave Saurun an opportunity to learn advanced abilities.

However, Saurun had yet to receive the notification of return to the Blood Knight, so he was unable to learn the ability to advance.

But a fire element of the fourth step was enough for him to gain a foothold in the clan, and he wasn't afraid of people with ulterior motives such as Gerande who would try their best to elect his son Johansson to overtake Sauron's limelight, and even target the future successor of the clan.

Saurun walked up to Old Brent and greeted his grandfather and the head of the family with the highest level of etiquette.

Old Brent was in his seventies, and he'd been in control of the family for nearly forty years.

But as he grew older, even if he could extend his lifespan by using genetic medicine, it wouldn't be able to change his youthful agility and charisma. Thus, he planned to retire to Saurun's father within a year or two.

Saurun was his favorite grandson, and he had even asked Hine to make Saurun the next successor of the family.

However, Old Brent was disappointed with his grandson due to the recent incidents.

Old Brent said with a dark face, "Saurun, do you know why I called you over?"

Saurun vaguely guessed something, but he still shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

"Let's see what you can do!"

"You're one of the most important members of the Parkland family, and you can't even take care of a soldier in the wilderness."

Look now, this mercenary named Zero is heading straight for our family, and you sent out Lanqi to a.s.sa.s.sinate him, he had already fought with him once outside of Phoenix City.

However, he didn't kill him. Both he and Lanqi had entered the Death G.o.d's Ridge, so they didn't have any information on the two of them for the time being.

"But the companies and bases outside have already made a gamble on this matter, and no matter who wins, our family is destined to become a joke in the eyes of others!"

"That's true, my capable nephew."

Gerande interjected, "A mere mercenary from the wilderness dares to challenge me, the Parkland plutocrat."

And the a.s.sa.s.sins you sent out haven't killed him yet.

My dear Saurun, our family cannot afford to be disgraced.

"It's not that I'm talking about you. In fact, from the very beginning, you should have killed this mercenary with absolute force instead of sending a Lanqi to a.s.sa.s.sinate him."

Saurun cursed in his heart at his uncle, but on the surface he respectfully said, "I don't want to brag about killing this mercenary, I'm afraid that the world will know about this situation."

It's just that I didn't expect that Zero to be so tricky. Even Lanqi was not able to kill him with absolute confidence.

"Grandfather, I am willing to accept any punishment."

As his father, Hein naturally had to say something for his son. He said in a deep voice, "Respected father, in fact, Saurun's judgment was not wrong."

If we make a big show of dealing with a mercenary, it will only make others see us as a joke.

If I were Sauron, Lankey would do the same.

And now, more than that, I think it's more important to find out who spread the news so that the whole sh.o.r.eline company knows about it.

"I am sure that the people who openly publicize this matter must have ulterior motives. Their most basic goal is to destroy our family's prestige."

"Grandfather, since this matter has already spread, it is useless for us to suppress it."

Better to let me and my guards fight.

If Zero can get out of Death's Ridge, I promise he won't be able to move on.

And taking advantage of this opportunity, we can let other companies know how foolish it is to try to provoke our family.

Because the force I'm going to show will kill all the people or companies who have this idea! "

If Sauron's move succeeds, it will indeed be a greater deterrent to other companies in the wilderness.

As for failure, it never occurred to him.

Old Brent nodded, "If you want to do something, then do it. If you let this mercenary enter our clan's area of three thousand kilometers."

"Saurun, I will consider removing your father from your position as the successor."

"I will not disappoint you, my dear grandfather!"

Sauron affirmed.
