The Dark King - Chapter 409

Chapter 409

Bang!

Bang!

The door was knocked in hurry .

Mark was tired as he didn't even have the strength to open his eyelids . He instinctively frowned . Last night he was at the banquet because few big families had joined back the Mellon consortium . He drank a lot wine as he accompanied people . Although he used medicine but he was fealing bitter and uncomfortable because of hangvoer . He was irritated as he heard the violent knocks .

He raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose . He knew that some matter was pressing from the rapid knocks on the door .

He sat up and raised his hands . The maid next to the bed had long prepared the warm wet towels which was handed out to him . He wiped his face and said: "Come in . "

The maid pulled the door but Sarah pushed in on impulse and ran in . She saw the tired look on her father's face . There was a trace of guilt in her heart as she said: "Father, a big thing had happened!"

"Slowly . " Mark's face sank . He stood up and waited for the maid to dress him .

Sarah quickly handed out the newspaper: "Father, check for yourself . "

Mark skimmed through the newspaper . However the next moment his tired face changed as if he was hit by a lightning .

Sarah saw that the reaction of her father wasn't calm . She was frightened as she asked: "Father, what will you do with this matter? You have said that the teenager has an insidious personality . Will the problem smash up in our heads?"

Mark recovered and ordered her: "Order Ron Cohen to come and see me right now!"

"Ron Cohen?" Sarah was in a loss . However her face changed: "Father, he couldn't . . . "

Mark interrupted her words: "Get him here!"

"I-I will ask the butler . " Sarah was frightened as her father never was so fierce towards her since small age . Even if she wasted 100,000 gold coins he wouldn't say anything instead comfort her . Sarah understood the seriousness of the matter as she turned away and run in hurry .

Sarah's face was pale as she returned: "Father, Ron is not in here . . . "

Mark almost fainted as his body shook .

"Father, what has Ron done?" Sarah looked at him "Did you send him to assassinate? The newspaper said that the assassination had failed as Dean's squire had killed him . If its Ron then the investigation will sooner or later reach our doors . . . "

Mark's head was buzzing as he stared at the ground . He wasn't responding to his daughter . A desperate feeling burst out in his heart . He had gone through such things many times in his life but have never faced such a result .

"Did Ron betray me? No, he would never betray me . . . Even if he was bought . . . He has lost his life so what's the use of money . . . " Mark gradually recovered his mind . The chaos in his mind was cleared up . He was set up by a kid!

He tightly clenched his fists . Because of the excessive force his nails pierced deeply into his palms .

Although he had considered this point when he allowed Ron to go but he didn't plan it carefully . After all, Ron's strength was exceptional or else he wouldn't keep Ron as head of the family's knights . . . Otherwise he couldn't defend their family for so many years . . .

Moreover he was aware of the strength of Dudian's attendanths . There were only two people who Dudian bailed out from the Thorn Flower Prison that had the strength of a senior hunter . However with Ron's skills he could easily retreat even if both of them acted together . It shows that the other side had made a good ambush since the beginning . . .

They had falled into a trap!

He had also tried to take this opportunity to get rid of Dudian . Even if Ron wasn't able to kill him this would send out an important message to Dudian . It was a kind of counterattack .

"Father, father!" Sarah called out to him .

Mark took a deep breath: "Make sure that your grandfather isn't aware of this . He wouldn't be able to recover from such a blow! In addition, call back Melk and Meyers . . . Convene everyone from the family to come back! We have to transfer funds as soon as possible!"

Sarah was shocked: "Father, what do you mean? Transfer money? You-do you want to . . . "

"Yes! Mel family is finished . " Mark looked back at her: "But it won't die today! One day we will rise again . Right now we have to minimze the losses!"

Sarah couldn't acknowledge the words that her father said . The Mel family was high above the others . They had always looked at other noble with disdain . Now, their family was going to be finished overnight?

"Father!" Sarah looked at Mark: "It's just an assassination case . We bribe the magistrate with money . If it's a big deal then we will give them ten times the money than usual! They can close their eyes . . . I don't think that they won't do it . He was just promoted to a master! We can say that Ron acted on his own and didn't have any relationship to us in this matter!"

Mark frowned: "Nonsense! Lost is lost! We had underestimated our enemy! We had let him drill loopholes way too many times! We can't use money to cover assassination attempt on a master! Holy Church will be disturbed because of this . According to the aggreement with the magistrate they will send people to participate in the investigation!"

"Holy Church will make sure to obey the instructions of the kid . The dirty water has already been poured at us! We have no hope! The only hope is for us to rise again in the future!"

"But, but . . . " Sarah couldn't accept such a blow . She was different to an ordinary young noble lady as she wasn't as much spoiled and was aware of the rules of this world . However she couldn't accept this relentless reality as it was too cruel and unbearable .

"Go!" Mark shouted .

Sarah bit her lips as crystal shiny tears flowed out from her eyes . She rubbed them with her hands and ran out .

. . .

. . .

Study room on the second floor .

"Wrong! Copy hundred times more . " Dudian handed back the small notebook to the boy . He looked at Gabriel: "You have to know how to write too . Reading isn't sufficient . Do you know that knowledge is more useful than the sword?"

Gabriel bowed: "Yes, young master . "

Dudian nodded: "Go . "

Gabriel left . There was another small figure who was building a small house from small blocks that were on the table . Artemis carefully put the piles of the roof . She had a green hair and small face . She looked like a porcelain doll .

Dudian sat down by the desk: "What is this?"

Artemis's body shrank back: "It is a house . "

"Do you like this house?"

"I like it . "

Dudian strength out his hand and touched the bottom of the house with his finger . A piece of wood block fly out and the whole house crashed down . The wood pieces scattered all over the table .

Artemis looked at the wood pieces and looked back at Dudian . Her eyes flushed and it seemed that she was about to cry . But she didn't dare as she looked at Dudian's face with a wide smile . The last time when she cried Dudian had made her brother to slash with a sword for three thousand times . Her brother's hands got tired and sour so bad that he wasn't able to hold onto a knife .

"It seems that you aren't strong enough to build yet . " Dudian said .

Tears slipped through Artemis's face .

"Once more . " Dodian smiled: "There is a penalty if you mess anything up!"

Artemis sucked her nose and raised her hands to take blocks to build the house .
