Chapter 393 - Brother
“Y-yes.” Hahn swallowed his saliva with difficulty; his face was covered in cold sweat. Hahn, who had worked for the Malfa Family for more than ten years, knew the temperament of Young Master Hutton better than anyone else. If the latter were to know that Hahn had helped Sir Harvey do those things, even having ten lives would not save him. It was especially so for the issue of the advance party…
Back at Blackstone Town, Hutton had already repeatedly emphasized that the advance party entering the Scar of Death was the most important part of the whole plan. The members of the advance party had to be those that were known through and through. They could not be too strong or too smart, and their background could not be too complicated. It was best that their past could be discerned easily.
Initially, Hahn had indeed acted according to these strict standards when picking candidates. He chose Reggie and then Johnathan, but after that, that mage called Felic actually came forward. He volunteered to go to the Scar of Death with Johnathan. Hahn was obsessed back then, and only wanted to please Sir Harvey. Thus, he actually agreed to it. He thought that it was courting death to go to the Scar of Death anyway. Sir Hutton would not notice a young mage with no status or background like him, either. Back then, he thought that he had done things without anyone knowing, but he did not imagine that Sir Hutton would look for him for answers in just half a day…
Hahn knew that this was the biggest taboo for Sir Hutton. Just thinking about the methods of this first heir of the Malfa Family, Hahn could not help but shed cold sweat. What do I do, what do I do? Should I push all the responsibility to Sir Harvey?
“Where is he right now?” Hutton gently put down the magic book in his hands. His expression was abnormally calm, and even Emendas, who was nearest to him, did not know what this first heir of the Malfa Family was thinking about.
But Hahn knew…
After working for the Malfa Family for so many years, Hahn could not be any clearer about the personality of the first young master. The calmer his expression was, the more furious it meant he was. Just thinking about the terrifying rage that was behind such calmness, Hahn did not care much anymore. With a “plop”, Hahn knelt down. Without waiting for Hutton to speak, he slapped himself with “pak, pak, pak” while sobbing to beg for mercy. “I deserve to die… I deserve to die… Sir Hutton, please be merciful. Please spare me this time… on the account that I have worked for the Malfa Family for so many years…”
How many geniuses, like Hutton, were there in Anril?
After lecturing Harvey, Hutton looked at Emendas again. The face that was originally furious and annoyed slowly started smiling. “Emendas, you’ve done well. You did not cause problems together with Harvey.”
Hutton was an intelligent person. Even though he did not know that Harvey looked for Emendas, and did not know how Emendas rejected Harvey, after connecting dots together, he could immediately guess most of what had happened.
“I’m sorry, Sir Hutton. It’s my fault for not stopping Sir Harvey in time and letting things escalate to this degree…”
“No, this has nothing to do with you…” Hutton shook his head. “Furthermore, the situation doesn’t seem so bad at this point. Adelo just needs to hang on for another night. Just one more night would do. When our allies set off tomorrow morning, this Felic would not be able to do anything much even if he really has exceptional capabilities…”
