Chapter 1190: Why
The pebbles flew past Su Xiao's head as he walked towards the three-story building.
It had partially collapsed due to a hole about five meters in diameter, and around this hole, in addition to debris, were scattered twisted corpses.
*Boom-boom-boom*
The interior of the building was in complete chaos.
Amu destroyed everything he could lay his hands on.
One by one, the Royal Guards broke into the building and killed everyone they saw, regardless of whether they were men, women, the elderly, or children.
— Ah! " A woman's cry rang out from the second floor of the club.
Su Xiao, who was standing near the building, tensed up a bit, and a flash immediately appeared in space, which immediately destroyed the outer wall of the second floor.
Immediately after, he jumped up and found himself on the second floor.
He found himself in a room that was filled with the corpses of women, and in this room stood a royal guardsman in his black armor, although by this time they were already completely covered in blood.
The guardsman nodded to Su Xiao in respect, then turned and ran out of the room.
Su Xiao followed him out of the room. This building became a branch of purgatory. There were people's bodies everywhere, and some of them were split apart.
These Royal Guards were by no means weak.
A minute later, the building fell silent.
Su Xiao was sitting on an exquisite wooden chair on the third floor of the building, and a few seconds later, a guardsman came over, dragging a man and a woman by the hair.
— Are you all crazy? I'm Ian Pollitt, and I want to see His Majesty!
This man had only been an advisor to the kingdom an hour earlier, but right now, he was already a nobody.
Realizing that he had stopped being dragged somewhere, Ian Pollitt looked around with a very frightened look and noticed Su Xiao sitting on a chair. Almost immediately, all his strength left his body, and his face, which had already turned blood-red, immediately turned white as chalk.
— Iron... Iron hand, I want to know what I did that displeased His Majesty. Why? That old geezer... No, that's not right. Why would a man like him — " Ian's breathing quickened. The moment he saw the Iron Hand, he knew that he wouldn't be able to live until morning. "Wait, I want to see His Majesty!!!
The sword popped out of Su Xiao's scabbard and sliced through space.
*Pouf*
Eight straight body parts of a man and a woman fell to the floor.
Blood began to spread rapidly across the floor.
Su Xiao got up and left the club. As soon as he left the building, he saw a lot of people crowding around. There were practically no important officials among them, most of them were rich businessmen or ordinary onlookers.
— What happened?
— I don't know, but someone has attacked the Warner family's property, and the guards will be here soon. Where did these lunatics even come from, someone actually decided to openly kill someone in the capital?
— The guards have already arrived!
The orderly march of hundreds of armored warriors began to reverberate down the street. The warriors responsible for maintaining law and order in the capital have arrived.
Su Xiao, Amu, and the ten royal Guards calmly left the building. Due to the dim lighting and their clothing, they might very well have tried to sneak out of this building, but they left through the main entrance.
Initially, all the onlookers thought that they would be able to enjoy a good show, many thought that today they would witness the detention of some group of scumbags, but what they were so eager to see did not happen.
Hundreds of guards parted to form a corridor and dropped to one knee. Su Xiao and the group quietly left and disappeared into the night.
The rich businessmen glared at each other when they saw this. Some of them were able to see the armband on Su Xiao's left arm, which made them realize that something big was going to happen in the capital that night.
As for these guards, they obviously didn't come here for the sake of detaining Su Xiao and the others, but for the sake of cleaning up the corpses.
Su Xiao and the group were already jumping from one building to another. News of the councilor's murder would spread very quickly, so he had to eliminate the remaining three officials as quickly as possible.
To his surprise, when he killed Ian Pollitt, a text box appeared in front of him..
[Side mission: Mopping up.
Difficulty Level: Level 27.
Description: Eliminate Royal Councilman Ian Pollitt, Ombudsman Warner Vonn, High Priest Zabo, and Chief Justice Herve Anthony within three hours.
Lead time: 3 hours.
Completion Reward: 100,000 Paradise Coins.
Task Failure Penalty: The King's trust will be significantly reduced.
Su Xiao was surprised by the reward. It was the first time he had received a mission, and it was a side mission, with such a solid amount of Paradise coins.
This made Su Xiao finally realize that the rewards for completing missions in neutral worlds were very generous. After all, to enter the neutral world, one had to pay out of pocket. If the reward for tasks is not generous enough, contractors will most likely just lose time and money.
Su Xiao sped up, but the ten royal Guards behind him were not a step behind him. These people had outstanding agility, but if Su Xiao decided to start moving at full speed, they wouldn't be able to keep up with him.
----
Inside a two-story luxury mansion.
*Boom-boom-boom*
A powerful knock on the door roused the owner of the mansion from a sweet dream.
He sat up on the bed with a cry, anger visible in his eyes.
Getting out of bed, Warner Vonn opened the door to his room and immediately blurted out, " Lot, if you want to tell me something stupid, I'll have you thrown in a cage with Bakaki right away.
Warner Vonn was a short, fat, middle-aged man. It issued construction rights throughout the royal capital. He held a relatively influential position, so he didn't even try to contain his short temper. As for the "Bakaki", it was a specially bred large vicious dog.
Lot swallowed and said, " Sir, did you hear that loud noise?
— Eh? What happened?
— His People...
*A clang*
The long sword sliced through space, and a trickle of blood immediately appeared on Lot's face.
Without making a sound, he collapsed to the floor.
Warm blood drenched Warner's face. He subconsciously closed his eyes and rubbed them as he looked ahead, but all he saw was a pair of eyes staring at him intently.
— Hello, Warner Vonn.
*Ding~*
The thread tightened and the man's head immediately flew up.
Warner's mouth opened slightly, and his expression was one of surprise and regret.
Although Su Xiao was leading ten royal Guards and each of them had outstanding strength, they couldn't take any serious action against these officials. This matter was directly related to politics, so only Su Xiao, who had permission from the king to eliminate objectionable people, could kill all these important officials, while they could only indirectly help him with it.
Warner Vonn was eliminated, and the mansion was already practically cleaned up. Although the king had ordered him to eliminate only four people, this meant that none of those present near the targets were allowed to survive.
— Just as Su Xiao said that, ten killing machines began to rush into the rooms, with only short screams coming out of them.
After 56 seconds, the Warner Mansion fell into an eerie silence.
----
Ten minutes later, in the courtyard of a small estate.
*A clang!*
A ring-shaped flash spread out in all directions, and more than a dozen robed clerics immediately fell silent forever.
This estate belonged to the third target, High Priest Zabo. He had already heard some rumors, so he was almost on his way out of the capital.
Because of Su Xiao's single attack, dozens of corpses appeared around him.
Not far from him, a couple with backpacks on their backs were looking at Su Xiao with horror in their eyes.
— I... I am a messenger sent to this land by God himself! Even if His Majesty wants to kill me, he must have God's approval to do so!
The high priest at that moment decided to remember God.
Su Xiao started walking slowly towards him.
Zabo, on the other hand, put his wife in front of him out of fear.
His beautiful wife was stunned. Just a few minutes ago, she was ready to die with her husband, because in her opinion, he was a pious messenger of God and a person who was not ashamed to live with all her life, but because of this simple act, all her illusions about him were destroyed.
