Chapter 69 The Cornered Prince

There is an intricate sewer system beneath Abranah.

And it is in these dirty underground systems that crime is most likely to breed.

The headquarters of the Black Seal Brotherhood is located in a secret stronghold in the underground roads.

Strict identity authentication is required to enter here.

at the same time,

This place is well connected, so if you really encounter danger, you can escape quickly and it is difficult to be surrounded and attacked.

At the Black Seal Brotherhood headquarters, various documents were placed on the messy table.

A sturdy man with scars on his face was sitting in a chair behind the desk.

His ten fingers were adorned with rings inlaid with various jades, jade seals, and gemstones, and he had a steaming cigar dangling from the corner of his mouth.

"I have already done what you asked me to do for you, so don't come to me for this kind of thing again.

In order to help you, I overdrew the credit of the fraternity and lost a lot of income.

I have a lot of subordinates. How can I support them if I don’t have money?”

The president of the fraternity puffed out a cloud of smoke and spoke slowly, holding a cigar between his fingers.

No matter what industry you are in, being a middleman will always make money.

The Black Seal Brotherhood does not take on any assassination work. They only act as a platform to accept commissions and then see who is willing to take the task.

After success, the Black Seal Brotherhood only charges a portion of the agency fee as profit.

The Black Seal Brotherhood did this because they didn't want to offend too many people and wanted to leave themselves a way out.

But this time, he betrayed his client under threat, and the client was related to the eldest prince of the royal family.

When the intermediary platform loses its credibility, who would dare to continue issuing tasks? This will undoubtedly cause the Black Seal Brotherhood to lose a huge amount of profits.

Behind the president of the Black Seal Brotherhood, there is a mysterious man in a black robe.

When he heard the words of the Black Seal Brotherhood president, he sneered, “Miles, you have to remember who supported you and enabled you to have your current career in Abramana.

Back then, you were like a dog wagging its tail for mercy. We were the ones who took you in and gave you opportunities.

Everything you have now was given by us. Do you still want to rebel against your master?
Remember, underground forces like yours can only exist because they have supporters. As long as we want, your Black Seal Brotherhood will fall apart at any time."

The black-robed man's words made Miles grit his teeth.

A flash of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but it quickly calmed down.

Killing this man will not help, he is just a messenger.

And what the other party said was right. How could an underground force like his survive safely without the support of the upper class?

As long as the kingdom is willing to launch a massive crackdown or even cultivate another force, their Black Seal Brotherhood will not be able to survive.

Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, Miles said calmly: "I understand."

The black-robed man was satisfied and said, "Remember your identity."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

After a while, a sneaky figure walked in. He looked in the direction where the black-robed man left and asked in a low voice: "Boss, should we kill him?"

The man made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Miles shook his head, stubbed out his cigarette, and said, "Be prepared, we can leave here at any time."

The younger brother was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Boss, are we going to give up everything we have worked so hard for so many years?"

Miles didn't say anything, just exhaled the smoke from his mouth.

If possible, he certainly wouldn't want to give up.

But he knew too much. The Black Seal Brotherhood was just a chess piece to the other side, and it didn't matter who was the leader of this chess piece.

I am a dispensable person.

Since knowing too much is of no use, clearing it out is the best solution.

Not having enough status but knowing too much is indeed a way to death.

Miles sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Listen to me. If you want to stay alive, be prepared. You may encounter a 6th ring warrior or an attack from elite troops at any time."

……

The palace, the eldest prince's bedroom -

The first heir of the Kingdom of Susaytani paced back and forth in his bedroom with an irritable look on his face.

From time to time, he looked up at the palace gate, which was heavily guarded.

However, these palace guards were not there to protect him, but to monitor him. He had been completely confined to his home by His Majesty the King.

The eldest prince is in a very bad condition now.

What he had done was exposed.

The eldest prince never thought that he would be cheated.

It was true that he sent people to the Black Seal Brotherhood to issue a bounty order in order to kill Deya Cavendish.

But he didn't think he could really kill Deya in this matter. He just felt annoyed with the other party and vented his anger in this way.

However, the eldest prince did not expect that the Black Seal Brotherhood, which has always had a good reputation, not only did not abide by the ethics of martial arts, filmed a "short video", but also came out directly to testify that he was the one who did it.

There were witnesses and evidence all around, and when the eldest prince found out about this, he almost suffocated to death.

Not long ago, Deya Cavendish was attacked in a bar, and the incident quickly fermented in Abramana.

Many media and gossips pointed the finger at him, believing that he, the eldest prince, had a grudge against the Cavendish family and that was why he did this.

These two things combined made it difficult for the eldest prince to defend himself.

Bullshit! If I had an elite assassination team like that, why would I need to send people to the Black Seal Brotherhood to issue a bounty? I would have assigned this team a long time ago!
The attack on Dea Cavendish completely ignited the anger of the parliamentary nobles.

In the past, the parliamentary faction had always lacked a leader. They wanted to resist the king's policies, but because of fear, no one dared to stand up.

Now that the Cavendish family has completely broken with the royal family, Earl Cavendish is tough enough to take on the role of leader who is easily the target of public criticism.

With someone taking the lead and integrating them, and with the support of the Austin and Laurent families, the scattered parliamentary nobles immediately gained centripetal force.

This time, taking advantage of the attack, Earl Cavendish led a group of parliamentary nobles to strongly criticize the royal family in parliament.

They scolded the royal family so harshly that His Majesty the King was sweating profusely and was unable to step down.

In order to ease the conflict and to give an explanation to the parliamentary nobles, His Majesty the King placed the eldest prince under house arrest.

The eldest prince has already heard the news that His Majesty the King is ready to give up his position as the first heir to the throne in order to give an explanation to the parliamentary nobles.

"Father did it on purpose. He actually wanted to replace me all along, but he just couldn't find a reason.

Now that he has a reason, he will definitely take this opportunity to make me completely lose my status as heir."

The eldest prince looked terrified and angry.

If he had no inheritance, what did he have?
Especially when he thought of the second brother's smug expression, his expression twisted.

All of this is a conspiracy, it’s all the second brother’s conspiracy, and he is the biggest beneficiary of all this!
What should I do? What should I do? Is there any way for me to break the impasse?
The eldest prince was extremely worried.

His aide, Lord Muller, passed the guards' inspection and entered the palace.

The eldest prince seemed to have grasped the last straw.

He shook Lord Mueller's hand, explained the current situation, and said anxiously: "My Lord, you have to teach me what I should do now!"
