From the Esoteric Cult Family to the Kingdom of God

The late night gradually passed, and as soon as morning came, the exhausted Fisher family held an urgent family meeting.

In the basement of Fisher Manor, the three core members of the family were reviewing the whole incident and thinking about what to do next.

Byrne breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a little wary, and said with luck, "Fortunately, we informed the Lion Family in advance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Then confusion appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't help but look at Irene and continued:

"What happened to those... so-called believers of the Lost Lord that the Black Lion said? According to him, there was a town on the east coast that was sacrificed by the Lost Believers, and everyone in the town died."

The news that a certain town was destroyed has not yet spread, but Byrne knew that it would be a matter of time before it spread, and by then the "Lost Believers" would also become a hot topic.

"Despicable impostor!"

Erin's eyes were full of anger, and she could almost gnash her teeth when talking about "other followers of the Lost Lord".

How could there be other believers of the Lost Lord? Those who appear suddenly are undoubtedly liars and fakes. They are simply disgusting!

She was about to say that those who pretended to have false beliefs would not die well and must go to hell forever, but she suddenly thought that the Fisher family at night was actually pretending to be the Poseidon Order, and she was unable to speak.

"Looks like we have the same idea."

Byrne nodded and said extremely seriously: "Just like us pretending to be members of the Poseidon Order, there are also some people pretending to be followers of the Lost Lord."

"They sacrificed an entire town in the name of the followers of the Lost Lord. They don't know which evil being the object of the sacrifice is, and what kind of gifts they will receive as a result. This matter has not been completely spread, and it will definitely be revealed later. Several major churches and the entire Siyate Kingdom were shaken by this!"

He recalled everything he had experienced in the Alchemy Council and took a deep breath.

Although the specific reason is unclear, some people have long begun to search for traces of the Lost Lord in the four eastern countries. Now they can further narrow the search scope.

"At that time, more and more forces will go to the East Coast Province. Some hope to find believers of the Lost Lord, while others want to pretend to be believers of the Lost Lord and do some secret and dark things."

After he finished speaking, he fell into silence, and a tense and depressing atmosphere spread in the basement. Everyone knew that the Dawn Order would need to be more secretive and cautious in the future, because the possibility of being discovered would become greater and greater.

Eileen was not afraid of a more chaotic situation and asked about the next topic:

"What should we do next? We have destroyed the Keyes family, but the subsequent finishing issues have not yet been completely resolved."

Byrne thought for a moment, nodded and said:

"There are indeed many things to do. We have to occupy the Keyes family's territory and cannot give any chance to the Leandre family or even the Garcia family."

He suddenly paused here.

"In fact, I had anticipated what happened to Tio's son. It's just that I couldn't give a solution at that time. Now I have a channel for him to vent his hatred."

Irene also sighed about Tio's matter, and then asked: "In addition, you must remember to reward Vanessa and the others. Although everyone has been loyal, we cannot neglect rewards and punishments."

"Well, of course I understand."

Byrne responded immediately.

This time the impromptu family meeting ended here. Chris stood aside and listened silently throughout the whole process without saying a word.

At the same time, Karl, who was floating in the sky, listened silently to the entire family meeting.

When he heard that followers of the Lost Lord had sacrificed an entire town, he had a very strange feeling.

Where are the lost believers?

Why don't I know them?

Then Karl realized that there must be someone pretending to be his believer and doing things that were not allowed by people.

Things are getting more complicated on the East Coast.

Not only is this force that suddenly appears pretending to be its followers, but also other secret organizations include the Poseidon Order, the Alchemy Council, and the forces that tried to abduct Chris not long ago.

They each have different goals and ideas. Taking advantage of the schism and civil war in several major churches, they appeared in unison, secretly trying to bring the East Coast Province into even greater chaos.

There is no doubt that for the extremely weak Fisher family, the future environment of the East Coast Province will become even more harsh and chaotic.

They also need more caution and more strength to survive the difficulties that will eventually come.

The only thing that really concerned Carl was the "star" trying to capture Chris.

"That" seems to be something that does not exist in this world, but is located in another world.

All Chris saw was the projection.

However, just by showing his projection, he is already an extremely exaggerated existence. He is even a huge threat to the entire world of Krad.

"A god from outside the world?"

After the family meeting, Byrne left Fisher Manor immediately to look for Tio, who was depressed.

Tio was indeed in a bad state. He was drinking rum crazily in a tavern in Xicheng District, and his whole body was filled with the strong smell of alcohol.

"Captain Tio, drink, keep drinking, you'll be fine when you're drunk."

Many of Fisher's family guards gathered around him, doing their best to comfort this respectable captain who lost his son in middle age.

Tio didn't say anything, just kept drinking, drinking, and drinking in silence.

The rest of the Nasirs remained silent while they were in the tavern.

Everyone could see that Mr. Tio was very sad, so no one dared to laugh.

There are unwritten rules in several taverns in Nasir Town. No matter what kind of wine some people come to the tavern to drink, the tavern will give away the drinks for free without charging any fees. Tio, who has a high status, is clear about this. Characters included in this list.

Seeing that something was obviously wrong with Mr. Theo of the Fisher family, the tavern owner consciously asked the waitress to bring glasses of wine.

Byrne suddenly opened the door and came in, ignoring the salutes of the people around him, and calmly issued the order.

"You all get out."

After hearing the order, everyone in the tavern left quickly, and no one dared to question him.

The tavern owner came over respectfully, lowered his head and said: "Dear Baron, may I ask you..."

Byrne didn't look at him, but said calmly: "You guys also go out."

"Okay, my lord."

The tavern keeper and the attendants, no doubt, quickly left the place that was actually theirs.

The family guards were already standing on both sides. Byrne slowly walked up to Tio. Looking at the drunken middle-aged man, he felt very uncomfortable inside.

But he still said as calmly as possible:

"The family still needs you, Tio, to take people to those villages to take over them. We must move quickly enough. We must do everything before the Garcia family reacts."

Tio continued to drink in silence. A painful thing that will happen after becoming a transcendent is that it has become difficult to get yourself drunk.

Seeing the family's confidants in such a decadent state, Byrne couldn't suppress the discomfort deep in his heart, and knew that Tio must find something to vent his heart.

Otherwise, he will be completely devastated.

Byrne leaned over and whispered in the middle-aged man's ear:

"The Keyes family is gone, but many of the managers in those villages are their relatives, and there may be people among them who are related to your son's affairs."

"If you go late, they will all run away. No one will wait for your revenge."

Tio was stunned for a long time, then stood up suddenly and turned to look at the family guards standing on both sides.

"You all, come with me!" he shouted and led everyone out of the tavern.

Byrne raised a glass of unfinished wine and drank it.

In more than twenty years, he had never let himself get drunk.

Byrne actually felt a kind of inner resistance to the terrible state of being drunk and unable to control his consciousness.

In that state, his sanity was almost gone, and he felt it was even more terrifying than temporarily losing his sequence power.

"Sorry, Tio..."

"No matter how hard I try, I can't cope with everything. I can only do what I should do within the limits of my strength."

Vanessa and several others who participated in the destruction of the Keith family were rewarded with fifty gold coins.

They may think it doesn't matter, and maybe they think it's natural to join the war for the Fisher family, but Byrne understands that he can never really deny the reward.

Byrne has read a lot of history books, and many dissatisfactions and even betrayals in history often start from little things.

The takeover of the Keyes family turf began immediately.

Before the nearby Leander family and the further away Garcia family could react, the Fisher family had quickly occupied several villages.

The two knight families who vassalized the Case family still wanted to resist, and even hoped to seek asylum from the Garcia family. The Fisher family was completely unrelenting and sent them all to see Baron Case as soon as possible.

At the same time, a knight family fled with their family and left the Four Towns directly, and another knight family chose to surrender to Fisher.

They are the Abbott Knight family, and there is a pair of brother and sister blood knights in their thirties.

Since the Case family had always wanted to swallow up the Abbott family's property, they had long been dissatisfied and supported Fisher's actions.

The Fisher family's greedy approach soon shocked every family in the Four Towns.

Baron Leandre wrote a letter to Byrne. The tone in the letter was very surprised at the sudden demise of the Keyes family, and then denounced the abomination of the Poseidon Order.

He also hoped to be given control of a village. He felt that the two families could be regarded as allies for the time being, and he could at least have the credit of "pointing the way" for the Fisher family.

But the letter was ignored by Byrne. He just thought Baron Leander was quite humorous.

In the study, Byrne summoned Vanessa to tell her something important.

"Vanessa, I have something to do for you, remember to do it well."

He said solemnly: "The trophies we have collected from the Keyes family in the past few days, including those mysterious objects and precious jewelry, have been sent to the Lion family as gifts."

"Just to thank them for their guidance in setting up Fisher's factory in the town."

Vanessa was not surprised at all. She lowered her head slightly and asked, "Master, should we send 30% or 50%?"

"all."

Byrne spoke without any hesitation and deliberately emphasized his tone.

A few days later, the Case family was destroyed, and the news of the Fisher family's movements spread.

The most shocking thing was the disappearance of a town in the southern part of the East Coast Province.

It really disappeared without leaving any trace in the world, and people soon heard a terrifying name, which was the "culprit" of this cult sacrifice.

"Lost Believer!"

A few days later,

the carriage of the Garcia family slowly arrived in Nasir Town, arrogantly ignoring the people who came to greet them, and drove all the way to the door of the Fisher family, wanting to ask for punishment.

However, when they saw that the carriage parked outside actually had the emblem of the Lion Family, they drove the carriage away from Nasir Town silently.

Never came back.
