The Dark King - Chapter 410

Chapter 410

"Master Dean we have investigated and found the identity of the assassin . " Deacon Ross looked at the teenager who was sitting on the sofa . He was polite towards a senior architect of the Temple so he was much more careful with his attitude in front of a master . Moreover Dudian had an unlimited potential as a master .

Dudian nodded slightly . He was aware of deacon Ross's body language so he smiled and said: "Deacon please tell me . "

Ross replied: "Master, the name of the assassin is Ron Cohen . He was born as a civilian and was fancied by a knight from the Knight's Hall at the age of 13 . He was taken as a student and by the age of 28 he passed the Golden Knight assessment and became a gold knight!"

"Ron declined the invitation from many families and request to join Mel family out of his own initiative . He served as the commander of the Mel family knights . . . until today . " Ross looked up at Dudian . He was aware of the conflict between Dudian and Mel family . It was easy to find about that conflict .

Dudian's face sank as he heard this: "Deacon Ross do you mean that Mel family sent a knight to assassinate me?"

Ross wryly smiled: "Master, this is only the results of a preliminary investigation . We haven't figured out whether the knight was ordered by the master of the Mel family or had come on his own . . . " He was interrupted by Dudian .

"Do you mean that a knight would take a risk to assassinate master without instructions?"

"Did you find out anything about that?" Dudian stared at the deacon: "Deacon, how long will it take to you to reach a conclusion?"

Ross felt the anger in Dudian's tone . He knew that he couldn't offend him: " Master rest assured that we will investigate everything . Right now members of our team have gone to talk with Mel family . We will give you an explanation after the full investigation!"

Dudian nodded slightly but didn't say anything .

"Investigation?" A voice echoed from outside the hall .

Dudian and Ross turned over to see a middle-aged man wearing a silver armor stroding towards them . The man politely said to Dudian: "I am 'guardian' Redmayne from the Holy Church . I've taken the libery to make a visit . Forgive me master . "

There was a trace of smile on Dudian's face: "Hello sorry that I didn't greet you by the door . "

"Master you are too polite . " Redmayne continued: "We were ordered to investigate this assassination attempt together with the magistrate . Hopefully you will get a satisfactory answer . The ones who dare to attack a master most probably have relations with the dark cult! So I will send someone to personally investigate the Mel family . Master, please be a bit patient!"

Dudian nodded: "Thank you . "

Deacon Ross sighed . He knew that the Mel family was really finished . Anyone who tries to kill a master of the Temple will be identified by the Holy Church as a member of dark church and engraved as a cult member! This was someone that Mel family couldn't afford to carry in such a situation .

"Nice to meet you deacon Ross . " Redmayne smiled and moved forward to shake Ross's hand .

Ross reached out his hand but didn't reply .

. . .

. . .

"What did you say ?!" Sarah was shocked as she heard what her brother Mel said: "We will be investigated as member of the cult!?"

Melk sighed as she looked at the girl who was full of sadness: "I have been a knight of light for long time . There will be strict investigation if a high level member of the Holy Church is targeted as part of assassination . There is an agreement between Holy Church and magistrate regarding such a situation . A 'guardian' will be involved and the incident will be changed to a 'cult' case . "

"They will investigate everything thoroughly . There is no escape unless we are as clean as an angel and never had contact with the dark church!

Everyone's face turned ugly as they heard Melk's words .

Mel family was one of the largest families in the commercial district . They had large number of industries under their command and had to deal with people from all levels of the society . Naturally they couldn't avoid alchemists from the dark church . It was an unwritten rule that all the nobles one way or the other were involved with the alchemists from the dark church . No noble family could stay clear from such a claim .

If such an investigation occurred then they will be able to find out many things that had been covered up .

Sarah bit her lips: "We must not let a 'guardian' to get involved with the investigation . Then they will certainly find out that our family had contact with dark church . We even have business cooperation with them . The charges will be too heavy if things go out of hand . Not only our assets will be seized but we may not be able to keep our noble status . "

Everyone looked at each other .

They knew this but who could stop a 'guardian'?

At the same time Mark slowly walked down the stairs . He stood and looked around the crowd . He slowly said: "There is no way to stop this hurdle . Someone has to step out and bear the guilt for the sake of the family when the 'guardian' comes over . I will be that person! I will say that this assassination attempt was purely because of commercial competition! The best you can do right now is to immediately sell as much as property as you can . Transfer as much as funds as you can out of family balance!"

Sarah stared at her father as tears flowed down over her cheeks . She regretted that she hadn't killed the teenager early on .

Regret! Pain!

She had never regretted anything but this! Unfortunately there was no way to reverse the time!

A cough echoed from behind Mark .

Mark turned around to see his father George coming down the stairs as the butler helped him out .

Half a day had gone past but the George wasn't the same man as yesterday . Everyone was shocked to see his body . At the moment he looked like a real old man . His spine was bent and wrinkles had covered his face . George was dressed in a fluff coat but he looked thiner than usual .

"Father!" Mark approached his father .

George sighed and stretched his hand to patt his shoulder: "Child don't forget what I had taught you! When the enemy hits you with a fist then you should get to his back to attack with a sword . . . The future of the family will be in your hands . "

Mark's face changed: "Father it was the result of my negligence . I made the wrong judgement . . . you can't . . . "

"I am old . " George looked at him then at the young members of the family . He smiled: "Old men should die . Stuff like this can't kill me anyway! You are my good boy! Work harder in the future . "

Members of the family cried as George spoke .
