The Wizard World (Part 1) Completed

Chapter 35: Clue (2)

The baron jumped off the carriage, looked at Philip, and threw the two knights to the ground. What Angele had just done upset him. Everyone around became startled, and people stopped what they were doing to check on the situation.

“Young Master, Baron… What’s going on?” Captain Mark walked toward them with a surprised look.

“Everyone! Come here!” Angele yelled instead of answering his query. He grabbed Philip by his arm and threw him near the two knights.

“You! You want to die?! My father is Marquis Syrias. He’ll hunt down every single one of you if you kill me!” Philip was hysterically screaming out of fear. Angele laughed before taking out the ring out of Philip’s pocket. He hid it in his palm so no one else could see it and placed it inside his own pouch.

Angele looked at the baron and saw the latter feeling unhappy. They stared at each other for a second and started laughing after.

“I assume you have a plan,” the baron said with a deep voice.

“Yes, Father,” Angele nodded and smiled.

People walked over and encircled the three. No one said a word. Killing a count was probably too heavy a burden for them.

Angele looked around and clapped his hands.

“Alright, we’re all in the same boat here. The trip is tough, but it makes us stronger. Now, I have a good method for us to deepen our relationships.” Angele looked around and said while clapping his hands. The baron who looked relaxed threw his iron dagger to his son.

“Mark!” Angele grabbed the dagger and called the captain.

“Yes!” Captain Mark swallowed hard and took the dagger Angele handed over to him.

“Each one of you will cut them once, don’t aim at the vital points,” Angele smiled and said. Mark looked at Angele and felt a chill on his back from his smile. He kept nodding, and after he lowered down his body, Mark gashed a deep wound on Philip.

“Ah! You! You! Damn!” Philip was screaming like crazy.

“My father will do me justice!” he continued.

“Next,” Angele yelled with such calmness. Another guard took the dagger and… The three kept screaming and cursing on the ground. After 5 minutes, everyone including the women and teenagers had already cut them once.

“Good, we’re a very tight team now,” Angele clapped and smiled. Philip and his knights had wounds all over their bodies and were losing too much blood. They were not cursing anymore, and instead, they kept begging for their lives with weak voices.

“Burn them. We need to continue on our way,” Angele said as he glanced at the caravan members, but people were afraid to look at him.

“I don’t know why you decided to kill them, but the result is fine. Let’s just forget about what happened today.” The baron sighed and stood on the side.

“I messed up your plan, Father. I’m sorry,” Angele lowered his head and apologized.

“You’ve got your reasons. However, our family is weak now and there are many high-class nobles in a large city like Marua. As I said before, make sure you think twice before acting,” the baron put his arm on Angele’s shoulder and said.

“Understood,” Angele nodded. They started a fire and threw the three into it. The three screamed for a second from the scorching pain until they were burnt to death quickly. The armors of the knights had become red and smoldering hot from the fire.

“Let’s go,” the baron looked at the fire and left. No one spoke a word as they returned to their own carriages. They decided to keep moving during the night. The thing that had happened today was too scary and people needed the time keep it off their minds. Teenagers like Maggie and Celia used the dagger too; their faces still looked pale from fright.
