Chapter 662: Chapter 273: Austin, What Have You Protected (Thanks to the Alliance Reward from ’Neng Tian Shi’)

"Dark Knight..."

"What are you talking about? Have you gone mad?"

Austin sneered upon hearing this, sarcastically saying, "Deputy Minister Allen, I have no idea where you heard that rumor, but I can assure you with great certainty that I am not the Dark Knight."

"Indeed, you’re not the Dark Knight; you’ve merely stolen the Dark Knight’s power,"

Allen made a startling revelation, honestly disclosing his identity and the source of his intelligence: "Because I am the Dark Knight. I met the Envoy of the Dark Goddess, who told me everything. Hand over the Twilight Deadlock, and I can pretend none of this ever happened."

Austin’s expression subtly shifted: "What Envoy of the Goddess? Have you been deceived?"

Speaking of the Envoy of the Dark Goddess, Austin did indeed know of one--the black cat Monica, mysterious in origin, impossible to kill, perfectly fitting his stereotypical image of a goddess’s envoy.

The time Monica arrived at Lando Manor coincided with Austin obtaining the Lucky Ancient Silver Coin. This Death’s Ancient Silver Coin cut off his communication with the Dark Goddess; unable to get through, she might logically assign an envoy to closely monitor him.

Monica ran away from home and revealed the truth to Allen...

How could it be possible? If Allen truly were the chosen by the goddess, Monica would have moved out long ago; there was no need for her to stay that many years at Lando Manor.

No matter how he looked at it, Austin thought Allen had been used.

"Austin, you’ve been stealing the power of the Dark Knight for so many years, hiding it so deeply that no one knows your identity, except for the great Dark Goddess."

Allen had his own unshakeable reasons: "Apart from the messenger who received the Divine Decree, no one knows who you are. Why would I be deceived?"

Both had their rationales, and Allen continued to press. Seeing that Austin was unwilling to sacrifice the Twilight Deadlock, he looked toward the mother and daughter with dragon blood, smiling.

"Austin, are you afraid of them knowing the truth?"

"..."

"Right, the Dark Knight once slaughtered the headquarters of the Naturalism Church in Lundan. Your wife and daughter are both devoted followers of the Nature Goddess. Once the truth is out, you would become their enemy, and your family would be torn apart."

Allen, putting together the intelligence at hand, targeted a vulnerable spot deep in Austin’s heart: "Or do I need to act against them before you’re willing to hand over the Twilight Deadlock?"

Austin’s complexion turned dark, this time not denying his identity.

"We are colleagues after all; I won’t make it difficult for you. They will not know who you are."

Allen raised both hands, pushing through the Legendary Mage’s Life Force Field. Boundless darkness surged down, sweeping Austin up and dragging him into his own world.

"Damn it!" ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Hefei, who had been paying attention to the scoundrel, frowned secretly, unable to help but worry about her husband’s safety. As his partner, it was obviously impossible for Hefei to know nothing of Austin’s secrets.

She was also curious about the secrets Austin carried.

For instance, the Ancient Silver Coin he never parted with, his seemingly indestructible body, and the stamina he claims to gain from working out; none of it added up.

Hefei had tried questioning, but Austin, rather than being honest, preferred to take a beating, and gradually, she grew tired of pursuing the truth, waiting for Austin to reveal his secret himself.

Hefei could not imagine how big this secret was, but judging the Legendary Mage’s prowess in magic, she feared Austin was no match.

However, her intuition told her this secret was beyond imagination, and the Legendary Mage might truly be outclassed.

"Stop fighting, pull back, Allen is gone."

Juno wielded the Holy Spear to defend, the Angel’s ethereal shadow behind her repeatedly shattered by the Divine Arts of the Natural Belief. Knowing she was no match for Hefei, she set aside her competitive spirit and openly stated her purpose.

"Allen made up an excuse to target Mister Lando, inviting Celeste to assist on the side. Celeste and I are here to deliver the message, and if need be, we will stop Allen."

Juno spoke rapidly, adding: "My name is Juno, I am Princess Elizabeth’s Knight and know Wayne, the Lando Family’s heir, very well. We have cooperated multiple times and have a good relationship. I am his friend and would definitely help him."

The Princess’s Knight!

Hefei and Veronica latched onto the keyword, the former furious, unable to stand the mention of the illegitimate daughter, the latter equally enraged, realizing that the other daughter of the big trash can and the small trash can knew her half-brother.

"What friend, to what extent a friend?"

Veronica’s eyes were bloodshot, suspecting that Wayne and her half-sister, that is, the Princess, had been intimate.

If she were bolder, as the Princess’s Knight devoted and fearless in her duties, perhaps Juno worried the Princess would hurt and was standing by her side every time they were in bed together.

That was outrageous, playing so wantonly outside!

Veronica was furiously upset. Even if it had been her tutor, it could have been acceptable, even her sister, as it all went down to internal family matters.

But the Princess?

Oh, she too was a sister, related by blood.

But still, it was unacceptable!

Juno, having told the truth, breathed a heavy sigh of relief, thankful that the confrontation brimming with oppressive tension was over against the overpowering dragon blood.

Suddenly, she realized something was wrong. Hefei and Veronica’s eyes were redder than the other’s.

With fierce expressions and murderous intent, Juno looked bewildered, her face betraying the impression that she might have stolen these two women’s man.

But no, when had she done such a thing?

Even if she had, according to her taste, she should have gone after this mother and daughter instead.

"Uh, may I ask, is there some misunderstanding here?"

Juno cautiously retreated with the Holy Spear in hand, reminding: "Once again, I am the Princess’s Knight, Wayne’s friend, and I am here to deliver a message."

We’re going after you! x2

Two figures flashed by instantly, attacking from left and right and cornering Juno.
