Midnight.
Dragon River Manor.
The Manor Hall was brightly lit.
The presidents of the four great merchant guilds in River City, Sheridan Jules, Kerr Tolkien, John Franklin, and Geraldine Zac, were waiting anxiously for the results of tonight.
A few hours ago, they had received word that Vann Gordan and his group had started their mission.
But until now, no phone call had come through.
Hence, they did not know how tonight’s results turned out, whether or not that kid Lionel Yeager had been eliminated.
Kerr Tolkien glanced at his watch and said uneasily, "What’s going on? It’s already twelve o’clock. Why hasn’t any news come yet?"
John Franklin also frowned and said, "Yes, it’s been several hours. Could it be that they have failed?"
Geraldine Zac didn’t speak, but she had a faint sense of unease in her heart.
She thought of the scene when she first crossed hands with Lionel Yeager.
That kid was truly strong. Could an Earth Ranking expert like Martin Tisdale really kill him?
Although Sheridan Jules was also worried, he didn’t show it on his face.
He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, put your hearts at ease.
With over two hundred elites and Elder Weil’s assistance, that kid will undoubtedly die, even if he has three heads and six arms."
Kerr Tolkien, John Franklin, and Geraldine Zac nodded in agreement, and their concerns were slightly alleviated.
Yeah, with over two hundred elites and Elder Weil, even if that kid was a Grandmaster, there would be no possibility of survival.
Time passed by every minute and second.
Soon it was one o’clock in the morning.
Kerr Tolkien said, "I still feel that something is not quite right. I’ll make a call to ask what’s going on."
As he said this, he took out his mobile phone, preparing to make a call.
But at this moment.
There were footsteps from outside.
Sheridan Jules and the other three looked up simultaneously.
They saw a figure approaching, it was Megan Jordan.
Seeing Megan Jordan return, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Megan Jordan was back, it meant that tonight’s operation was successful.
After Megan Jordan entered the hall, Sheridan Jules quickly asked, "Megan, how is the situation? Is that kid dead?"
However, Megan Jordan did not answer, just slightly lowering his head and maintaining silence.
John Franklin urged, "Megan, what are you doing? Hurry up and say it, we’re dying of anxiety!"
Before the words fell!
Suddenly!
Whoosh!
With a piercing sound!
They saw a blood-stained golden short blade shoot in from the outside, and then with a "thud," it was nailed to the wall behind Sheridan Jules!
Sheridan Jules, Kerr Tolkien, John Franklin, and Geraldine Zac were startled and quickly turned their heads toward the wall!
Their gazes locked on the blood-stained golden short blade!
John Franklin hesitated for a moment, then excitedly said, "Isn’t this golden short blade Elder Weil’s weapon?
Could it be that Elder Weil has killed the kid?
Has Elder Weil returned?"
Kerr Tolkien nodded happily, "This golden short blade is Elder Weil’s symbol, he must have come back!"
"Don’t think too much, that old fella will never return!"
At this moment, a vigorous voice came in from outside.
Upon hearing this familiar voice, the four of them shuddered and looked outside at the same time.
They saw a thin and tall figure walking through the darkness, step by step.
At the moment that the figure entered the hall!
Their eyes contracted sharply, their bodies tense, and their faces full of disbelief!
