The tattooed man was knocked to the ground by Marvinâs fist as his mouth was filled with agony. Marvin casually waved his hand, not feeling any pain.
He still had his Void Conch despite being imprisoned because it looked like an ordinary pendant and the guards didnât do a strict inspection. They just directly took Marvin in.
After entering the cell, Marvin had expressionlessly put on the Ghastly Gloves.
This pair of gloves not only gave special effects, but could also protect his fist and palm.
Otherwise, with Marvin punching a big guy so hard, his own fist would also get hurt!
After all, that punch used ample strength and was even under the effect of Burst!
The people locked in these cells werenât class holders. This tattooed man seemed to have very sturdy muscles, but his strength was only around 13. Their fighting skills couldnât compare with adventurers, let alone an expert like Marvin.
This punch had come too suddenly, directly throwing him on the ground!
This was the difference between a class holder and an ordinary person!
âI didnât hear, did you say lick something?â Marvin crouched and quietly asked.
With blood smeared on his face, the tattooed man angrily said, âLick this great meâŠâ
He extended his hands as he was spoke, trying to catch Marvin at all costs!
Unfortunately a dagger had already been placed against his head.
âOne more time and Iâll send you on your way,â Marvin calmly said.
âI donât want to make too much noise, but that doesnât mean I wonât kill in a cell, am I clear?â
He spoke a bit louder when he said this so that everyone in the cell could hear.
The tattooed manâs eyes widened. He was dumbfounded.
Everyone kept quiet out of fear!
When they saw Marvinâs lightning punch they were already frightened. Now Marvin had even taken out a curved dagger!
How did this guy do it?
This was a prison!
Every prisoner had to go through a body check, and he actually managed to bring a dagger in!?
Even though these were reckless prisoners, they certainly werenât blind.
Everyone looked as if they were affected by a Mass Silence spell. Not saying anything, not daring to say anything in this atmosphere.
âŠ
âThatâs good.â Marvinâs tone slowed down, âI have a question for you.â
âWhere is the Lynx team imprisoned?â
The others displayed a hint of surprise when they heard this, but they shook their heads one after the other, showing that they didnât know.
Marvin frowned.
At that time, a mosquito-like voice could be heard, âI, I knowâŠâ
That was the tattooed man.
His face was still had blood on it, and he was still being threatened by Marvinâs dagger, not daring to move.
He was scared that Marvin would kill him if he was unhappy. He also understood that this guy looked young, but he was definitely capable.
âI, I know the Lynx teamâs location.â
Marvin glanced at him, prompting, âTalk.â
The tattooed man hurriedly said in a shivering voice, âAll adventurers have been locked in the C block. They are powerful and need to be strictly watched.â
âThe Lynx team has been locked in cells 3 to 8. Each of them is imprisoned alone.â
Marvin kicked the tattooed manâs stomach, once again throwing him to the ground.
The latter let out a painful groan.
âRemember to keep your eyes open next time,â Marvin coldly said. âIf there is the slightest issue with your information, donât think of staying alive.â
The tattooed man repeatedly nodded his head, frightened, and then kneeled in front of Marvin.
The others in the room were quiet. A bold man asked, âYour Excellency, may I ask, how did you bring a dagger in?â
Marvin glanced at him before casually strolling toward the cellâs door.
The next instant, a cold light flashed.
Another dagger appeared in Marvinâs hand.
âItâs not difficult. Moreover, I have three,â Marvin indifferently said.
The other prisoners all foolishly looked at Marvin.
People with a bit of knowledge instantly made the connection with the legendary storage item!
Only high level adventurers had this thingâŠ
These ordinary people would spend their lives struggling to subsist. How could they have the chance to see such a magical item?
This delicate youth before them was surprisingly so wealthy.
Without waiting for them to react, a few clanking noises could be heard from the corridor.
A thing was thrown in from the outside.
Marvin picked it up. It was a bunch of keys.
He walked naturally to the door and unlocked it, went out, and closed the door.
âWait⊠Could you let us leave?â that bold man asked expectantly.
âKacha!â
Marvin ruthlessly locked the sturdy door.
âSorry, I came here to end lives, not to save lives. If you donât want to die, keep your mouth shut.â
As his voice gradually disappeared, he also disappeared into the shadows!
In the cell, everyone had a complicated expression on their face, but no one dared to say a word!
Marvinâs powerful show of strength left a shadow in their hearts. The usually very ruthless tattooed man was busy rolling on the ground due to pain.
âŠ
C Block 8th Cell.
Verne was sitting on his bed, expressionless. The prison seemed particularly calm tonight. The usual rough breathing at the end of the corridor couldnât be heard.
He kept having the feeling that something was about to happen.
At that time, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of his cell.
âWho?â Verne questioned, alarmed.
âThe one taking you away.â Marvin calmly unlocked the lock.
âI donât know you.â Verne took a step back, about to shout for the guards.
But he was too slow.
Marvin quickly opened the door, and burst in with Shadow Step!
He was in front of Verne in an instant, covering Verneâs mouth.
The latter was about to resist, when an ice cold feeling on his neck made him stop this stupid resistance!
The curved dagger had quietly snuck to his neck.
âWhat is Toshiroya planning to do to White River Valleyâs territory?â Marvin softly asked. âYou know how youâll end up if you donât speak.â
Marvin slowly loosened his hand.
âItâs youâŠâ Verne looked at Marvin with incomparable shock.
With the moonlight coming out of the window, he could clearly see Marvinâs face.
âTurns out you were Masked Twin Blades, no wonder that day at the castleâŠâ
The curved dagger slightly moved on Verneâs neck and the latter immediately shut up.
âDonât talk nonsense.â Marvin impatiently said, âI know you were paid to act, I only want to know Toshiroyaâs plot!â
âYouâll still kill me if i tell you!â Verne laughed softly, âWhy should I tell you?â
âYour fighting skills are a lot more troublesome than I can imagine and Iâve already been starved for a week. I simply have no strength to resist. Kill me, I wonât tell you.â
âMoreover, Iâll curse you, Baron Marvin. Curse you to be unable to have a peaceful life, curse you to see your beloved die in front of youâŠâ
âPop!â
A heavy sound echoed and Verne couldnât keep talking because his stomach was struck by a heavy fist!
âWho do you think you are? Your curse having any effect on me? Idiot.â
Marvin sneered, âMister Verne, I quite appreciate your boldness.â
âBut Iâll ask you to think with your brain. Since I dared to come into your cell to find you, I would have definitely made proper preparations. Iâm sure youâll talk.â
He then surprisingly let go of Cat.
The latter immediately was dumbstruck.
Marvin actually released him. He had the confidence he could convince him to talk?
But thenâŠ
âDling!ââDling!â
Marvin threw a small bell to Verne.
The latterâs complexion immediately changed!
âThis is⊠What have you done to Dylan!â
Verneâs face was filled with anger, and he almost lost it.
âSo young, but he has such nice blonde hair. Heâll definitely be a very charming young man when he grows up.â Marvin indifferently added, âHis eyes look a lot like yours.â
Verne immediately let out a cold breath.
He sat down on the bed, completely depressed.
Marvin patiently waited.
âDonât harm Dylan. I beg you.â Verne displayed a painful expression. âIâll tell you everything I know.â
âToshiroya has a hidden treasure map. It is pointing to a place in White River Valley, your castle.â
âThey colluded with Gnolls to invade White River Valley, but the Gnolls breached the contract. Toshiroya was extremely angry, but due to some other matters, he was delayed.â
âAfter you recovered your territory, he had even less room to maneuver. The current White River Valley guardsâ strength had been improved thanks to Gruâs team joining.â
âToshiroya is currently understaffed but he also has no official reason to attack White River Valley. Thus he intends to change methods.â
Catâs voice was very dull, but each word was deeply recorded in Marvinâs heart.
âWhat method?â Marvin asked.
âRebellion,â Verne replied. â I donât know much about the details. I was only a hired hand for him.â
âHe is trying to cause a rebellion in your territory in the near future. He will then, with the help of an inside man, take control of the castle.â
âIn any case, civilians would be unaware of what to do. If he takes care of the guards, he can settle everything.â
Marvin was startled. âYou mean, the current White River Valley garrison has already been infiltrated by Toshiroya?â
âYeah,â Verne answered. âBut I donât know who.â
âHe is going to make a move soon, so if you want to deal with it, you have to quickly make a decision.â
âThatâs all I know.â
âPlease let Dylan off. He is only a child.â
Marvin quietly walked in front of Cat, and âWoosh!â, a slash efficiently cut his head!
He was already a 2nd rank Night Walker, and his attribute bonuses had already been added since it was night time. And Verne was only a level 5 class holder, he simply wasnât his opponent!
âPeopleâs sins are their own to bear.â
âI wonât go so far as to take my anger out on a child.â
Marvin said this to Verneâs body.
That small bell was also only stolen from Dylan by the Phantom Assassin Amber.
Before he acted, Marvin hadnât had to think about it at all. He had no interest in using an innocent in this matter.
âŠ
The door of that now unoccupied cell was pushed open once again.
A faint shadowy person walked over and whispered, âLord, everything has been settled.â
Marvin nodded.
Having a Phantom Assassin subordinate was really convenient!
Those keys were stolen by Amber before being tossed to Marvin.
As for the other five Lynx members, they were also disposed of by Amber, noiselessly.
Amberâs Stealth was a lot stronger than Marvinâs, and furthermore, he also had a powerful Hide. Thus, he could easily infiltrate the cells, while Marvin had to use some more conventional methods.
The two people worked on separate things and their progress wasnât too bad.
At least they knew what Toshiroya was up to and they still have time to go back.
Marvin was ready to leave Black Water Prison.
But at this time, a bright light suddenly flickered in the room!
Marvinâs heart sank!
Teleportation Portal!
No, not a Teleportation Portal, it was a prepared Teleportation Gate!Âč
The next second, a hot woman walked out of the Teleportation Gate.
A trace of anger could be seen on her face. âKilling in my city without my agreement.â
âBaron Marvin, this isnât something a gentleman should do.â
Marvin forced a smile.
He was so careful he hadnât expected to still be detected.
This was too troublesome!
Indeed, this lady who appeared in the prison cell was shockingly River Shore Cityâs 4th rank Witch City Lord, Madeline.
âŠ
âTake a trip with me, Baron Marvin.â
Surprisingly, Madeline didnât shout, taking a deep glance at him instead.
As for that Phantom Assassin behind Marvin, she directly ignored him.
The next instant, the Teleportation Gate was once again activated.
He could only give a meaningful glance to the Phantom Assassin before following Madeline through the Teleportation Gate.
On the other side of the Teleportation Gate was a sumptuous room.
It could be seen that this place was Madelineâs living quarters.
Marvin had also gone into the top floor of the Ashes Tower. Although Hathaway and Madeline were both Half-Legends, their taste and style was extremely different.
Hathawayâs roomâs colors were clashing, giving out an intense sense of contradiction.
And Madelineâs was a traditional nobleâs room, very luxurious. But too much and too cheesy.
âSetting up a Teleportation Gate like that. Dame Madeline, it looks like you already knew I would act against Verne?â
Marvin wasnât an idiot. Madeline wasnât a god, she couldnât have randomly sensed him killing in the cell.
And that Teleportation Gate was obviously set up beforehand.
âMore or less.â
âAfter I came out of seclusion, I handled many things. I also saw many people. However, the one who left me the deepest impression was actually you.â
âBaron Marvin? Or maybe Masked Twin Blades? Killing his own uncle with his own hands. And slaughtering a Plague Envoy on his way. With this kind of performance, it would be very difficult for me not to pay attention.â
Madeline slowly walked to a liquor cabinet on the side. âWant something?â
âNo need, get straight to the point,â Marvin said in a heavy voice.
âDonât worry.â Madeline suddenly waved her hand, instantly making a magic mirror appear in front of Marvin.
On the magic screen, White River Valleyâs castle could be seen.
The rear of the castle was actually on fire! The place that was burning was most likely the granary!

Marvinâs pupils shrinked.
He hadnât expected an upheaval to appear in his territory that soon!
Madeline blinked and said, âIt looks like you need my help right now.â

T/N1: So changed Teleportation Door to Teleportation Portal (Gate & Door being too similar) itâs something akin to the Anywhere/Dokodemo Door while the Teleportation Gate is something like a Stargate, already set up and needing activation.
