Chapter 718: Even Robbery Has Competition?
Chapter 718: Even Robbery Has Competition?
Coincidentally, not long after the little maid, Margaret, reported the nobles' movements to Yecheng and Princess Roz, members of the Cult approached Yecheng with similar information, just like the maid.
These idiotic nobles of the Olyana Kingdom, who only knew how to dabble in the arts, wanted to emulate others' conspiracies but failed to take necessary precautions to maintain secrecy.
The plan hadn't even been set in motion, and already three different informants had come to Yecheng.
With such intelligence, it was understandable how the entire kingdom could have been played by Dameim, a small-time lackey.
"Sir Galahad, should we teach those unruly fellows a lesson?"
The Gadore Trio knelt on one knee before Yecheng, asking respectfully.
Ever since Yecheng forced them to change their names, these three had become his die-hard followers.
In their eyes, the nobles of Olyana were courting their own demise.
Previously, they had feared even a puppet like Dameim, and now, Princess Roz's new fiance was none other than Sir Galahad, one of the 'Round Table Knights,' a high-ranking member of the Cult. Yet, these bastards dared to oppose him!
What did this mean? Did they think their Sir Galahad was inferior to a lowly puppet like Dameim? The trio considered themselves Yecheng's most loyal knights, and by disrespecting their lord, they felt their faces had been slapped.
"Very well, then. Tonight, go and give those nobles a little warning."
Yecheng hesitated for a moment but eventually agreed to the trio's suggestion.
Dealing with Sid's talent showcase would be too troublesome, and given Sid's showboating nature, he would likely agree to the nobles' requests.
If even a puppet like Dameim could make those guys obey, there was no reason why a high-ranking member of the Cult couldn't do the same.
Upon hearing Yecheng's command, the trio happily accepted the task and left.
However, later that evening, a group of rugged raiders in black suddenly appeared in the capital city and infiltrated the homes of numerous Olyana nobles.
The noble patriarchs, who had been dancing merrily at the banquet, were now bound to chairs, tortured, and asked bizarre questions like, "What is 1000 minus 7?"
That night, over a dozen noble families were visited by these rugged raiders.
What was even more outrageous was that, just as one group of raiders left, another, more brutal group arrived.
These later raiders were also dressed in black, but there were more of them.
The only difference between the two groups was that the first group consisted of women, while the second group was all men.
The nobles, already tormented once, were stunned when they saw the Cult's enforcers break in again.
They couldn't believe how the security of the Olyana Kingdom had deteriorated to such an extent.
Home invasions had become a relay race, with one group after another, as if the nobles were mere vegetables to be harvested.
"Sir Gadore, it seems we're a step too late. What should we do if someone beat us to it?"
A second-level Diabloros Son, with a sycophantic expression, reported to the Gadore Trio, who were overseeing the operation.
After glancing at the obviously tortured nobles, the trio's faces turned sour.
This was their first mission under Sir Galahad's command, and they had completely messed it up. How would Sir Galahad view them from now on?
Although they didn't know who had beaten them to it, the Gadore Trio was not willing to let this go so easily.
After glancing at the noble patriarch, who was still energetic and terrified, Gado gave a direct order, "Take everything of value from these guys' homes."
Then, torture these guys, especially the patriarchs. Make them suffer to the point of death."
Let these idiots know the consequences of offending Sir Galahad."
Early the next morning, a shocking piece of news spread throughout the capital city.
It was said that over ten noble families, including three marquis and five baron households, had suffered the most brutal home invasion in history the night before.
Despite being in the capital, the knights and guards of these noble families were powerless to resist and were wiped out.
Not only were their homes ransacked, but several noble patriarchs suffered such severe psychological trauma that they had to be replaced.
Once this news broke, all the nobles in the capital fell into a state of panic.
Such ruthless bandits were unheard of, and this was the capital of Olyana. If their own families were targeted next, then...
With such a terrible incident occurring in the capital, the anxious nobles naturally rushed to the royal palace to seek an explanation from the king.
However, King Alyana ignored the matter and instead brought up the marriage between Night City and Princess Roz, announcing the engagement date.
It was then that the nobles who had been robbed the night before realized, belatedly, that they had one thing in common!
As they thought of this commonality, they all turned to look at Night City, who was on the stage, their faces filled with fear.
Sensing someone's gaze, Night City politely returned a smile.
This smile sent chills down the spines of the nobles who had been robbed the night before.
There was no doubt! Those thugs from the night before must have been sent by this demon!
The only person they had offended recently was Night City, and they had thought he seemed harmless. But in reality, this guy was even more threatening than Dameim!
Seeing the Olyana nobles, who had been arguing with him the day before, now unable to even meet his gaze, Night City was puzzled. Could the verbal warning from Gado and his men have been so effective?
Of course, the nobles who had been robbed the night before were now too scared to say a word.
However, there were some nobles who had not been robbed yet, and upon hearing that Night City was about to be engaged to Princess Roz, they spoke up.
Then, as night fell, Gado led a large group of Order Enforcers to "friendly" visit these nobles.
Fearing that they might be intercepted again, Gado and his men started their operation as soon as night fell.
At the same time, several figures dressed in black bodysuits appeared on the rooftops, watching the Order Enforcers enter the nobles' homes. One of them, looking at the leader with green twin tails, asked, "Lord Epsilon, should we go in and wipe out the Order members as well?"
