Chapter 1588
Just like that, the wheels of fate had once again spun.
Another powerful player had entered this chess board.
A Barn...
Not just any Barn... A Barn whose intelligence could never be looked down on.
He had arrived, unbeknownst to William and Landon.
Hehehehhe~...
He was looking forward to the grand meet-up with his dear distant cousins.
Sebastian smiled, curbing his overly handsome brows upwards.
'Cousins... Now that you've piqued my interest, I hope you don't bore me, for it would be a shame to have you die faster than I now expect.'
Thup!
A dart fell straight towards a pulley on the wall.
And what poster hung on that wall? William's.
The dart fell straight between his well-groomed brows.
"Ghost."
The towing masked man went down on one knee. "I'm here, young master."
"Hmmmm... According to our reports, this cousin of mine is somewhat similar in the sense that he has the number 1 assassin in Pyno working for him, while I have the 3rd most powerful Assassin in Veinitta working for me."
Sebastian chuckled.
"As expected. We Barns aren't an easy bunch. We attract power wherever we go. And even though I know you're far more powerful than the waste they say is the number 1 assassin, I still want to see you 2 square up."
Ghost squinted his eyes with interest, understanding Sebastian's words.
"Young master, you need not worry yourself over these Pyno wastes. I will give you the show of a lifetime!"
Ghost was serious.
So what if they have good food and have made several more achievements to better their lives? In the end, when it comes to battles, they can't be better, no matter how anyone looks at them.
He, Ghost, trained in Morgany severally thanks to being a T.O.E.P member under the Barn faction.
Morgany was the home and team place for all assassins, killers, guards, knights, and anyone wanting to grow stronger.
There was just no better place in this world.
Everyone knows this.
Ghost has been to Morgany severally to know that Pyno didn't have as many people going on to train as veinitta and Tenola.
In fact, the numbers were just so low. And even on the T.O.E.P ranks, Pyno people never climbed to certain lengths that they from Veinitta could.
So how could they be better than him?
After a brief meeting in the young master's suite, they had done out, exploding the city, also gathering as much information as they could.
Ghost felt it was a joke if anyone thought Death could defeat him in battle.
That would be an insult to his prestige as the 3rd most powerful in Veinitta. He felt even the 11th person of Veinitta should be able to kill Death.
Heh.
No matter how many changes Pyno had, it was still a weak place that he looked down on.
Tsk.
Since the young master wanted them to compare, he, Ghost, will give his master a show.
He would not only take Death down but do it so quickly and swiftly that Death himself would wonder if he was in Hertfilia or the land of the dead.
.
Hmmmm...
Sebastian was pleased with Ghost's response.
He didn't want any of his men to lose heart or falter just because of Pyno's changes.
In the end, they were still proud Viet warriors, never getting intimidated by a bunch of weaklings!
Sebastian was also looking forward to fighting William. He wanted to know just how powerful this cousin of his truly was.
As for his other cousin Landon... He wouldn't be in a fish to kill that one just yet.
A person who could change a barren land into what it was today, using his blessed mind to produce masterpiece after masterpiece.
It's said the other empires originally planned to attack him. But he quickly drew up several treaties that made Baymard get the short end of the stick.
He did all this, knowing he was a weakling who couldn't defeat the other empires.
They had already met with 2 T.O.E.P members stationed here, who speculated that these goods were originally from Morgany. But Sebastian didn't think so.
Maybe he would be the only one to feel this way, but he truly believed in the Barn blood.
His Barn blood could produce geniuses, as well as trash like (the late James Barn, Landon's half-brother).
Sebastian was proud of his Barn blood. Whether it was good looks, a solid figure, a good brain... Good Innate abilities or a birth that put them in a place of power, they all had it.
Look! Even a castaway Barn turned an entire barren land into an empire.
His grandfather, exiled ages ago, also entered Veinitta and rose to power despite the immeasurable difficulties.
And then look at William's situation... He rose to become Arcadina's monarch.
Even Eli Barna and Connor Barn, who lost were also impressive in their own feat.
If their enemies weren't Barns themselves, they too would have stood out, making a name for themselves or taking over other territories.
Though Alec Barn does, he too was an exceptional person that rose up the T.O.E.P ranks, going higher than the other Pyno members.
He rose so high that it scared people, as he now climbed to a rank that Viets typically fell in.
Bottom line, the guy was a beast with enough ambitions to cause many nightmares.
This was the Barn blood!
He didn't believe Landon's gift of knowledge came from copying some Morg's ideas. The guy should be a creative genius.
Too bad most people like this were typically weaker in battle.
All this, as well as the report from the 2 T.O.E.P members stationed here, once again confirmed his thoughts on Landon's situation.
The guy only needed protection and might not even bat an eyelid if William died.
So he didn't want to bother with Landon anytime soon... His priority was the throne!
