Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Old grandpa, are you alright?” At this moment, a soft voice suddenly sounded in Karuman’s ear. He quickly tidied his clothes to make himself not look so disheveled. Then, he saw that it was a young lady and shook his head. “No… I’m fine.”

This young lady was Tina. She saw that Karuman was obviously not looking good, and said, “Old grandpa, are you unwell? If you are, you can let me know. I often go to the pharmacy. What medicine do you need? I can buy it for you. Oh, I’m Young Master Ron’s maid.”

Previously, when Ron was injured, he had always taken medicine, and the person who got him the medicine then was Tina. Therefore, Tina did not just get the medicine, she had also learned a little about making medicine. It was just that she had rarely done so.

“Thank you, I’m really fine,” said Karuman gratefully. However, when he heard that the young lady was actually Young Master Ron’s maid, he took another look at her. Young Master Ron should be the young man with the good cultivation base whom he had met the other day. If there was anything worth paying attention to in the declining Nicholas family clan, it was this Young Master Ron.

“Alright, see you later, old grandpa,” Tina said politely and left.

After watching Tina leave, Karuman heaved a sigh of relief. He leaned weakly against the door frame to catch his breath. He looked around like a thief again. There was still no one around, and he could not sense any magical waves. But where was his master? His master was definitely nearby, but no matter how he tried to sense him, he could not find any traces of his master. This was too strange.

He did not know that his current master, Romo, was looking at him from the ancestral tablet behind him.

This old fellow has not been taught a lesson. He is actually dishonest!

Romo frowned as he thought. However, this was normal. The other party was, after all, a level-4 Great Archmage. Such a person would be an expert no matter where he was. For instance, Lein Dupont was a City Lord who was high and mighty. How could such a person be willing to guard the door for him so quickly?

However, if he still doesn’t behave, I’ll just teach him a few more lessons. If this still doesn’t work, I’ll just kill him outright.

Romo thought coldly. If the other party could not become his assistant but instead become a problem, Romo would not waste his energy on him. After all, killing the other party was just a matter of thought.

Karuman suddenly shuddered. He looked around suspiciously. No one was around, but why did it feel like someone was staring at him? Could it be his master? No, he must watch the door carefully, otherwise, the kind of pain just now might come again. He hurriedly sat down.

On the other side, at the entrance of the City Lord Residence, a few women were bawling their eyes out in front of the City Lord Residence, shouting that they had been wronged. This had attracted the attention of everyone around them.

“Look, it’s the Grimm family. Why have they come to the City Lord Residence early in the morning to wail?”

“How is it that you are still not aware? The head and eldest young master of the Grimm family clan had been killed in the ancestral hall. The scene was tragic. Just imagine, the head and eldest young master had both been killed and they did not even know who the murderer was. How could they not come here to wail?”

“Ah? How could such a thing happen? Has the murderer been found?”

“This is where the problem lies. Think about it, the Grimm family clan is the largest family clan in Winterfrost. Their head, Maril Grimm, is a level-8 Great Mage. Who in Winterfrost can kill him? The City Lord had personally gone to investigate, but he did not seem to have any leads. The murderer has not been identified, so these women from the Grimm family have come to the City Lord Residence to mourn. This City Lord is in trouble.”

These people were right. City Lord Lien was indeed a little depressed now because early this morning, the women from the Grimm family were already at the entrance of the City Lord Residence wailing. He had already told them that he would continue to investigate the murder, but these women still did not want to leave. It was broad daylight, and they were the victims, so Lien could not be violent with them. Therefore, he was in a terrible mood when he heard these women wailing in grief.

Moreover, when these people came to wail, his prestige as the City Lord would also suffer a loss. This would make the residents of the city think that he, as the City Lord, had not fulfilled his responsibility to protect the residents of the city. Now, there were already many who were saying behind his back that he was not a good City Lord. Although it would not have a substantial effect on him, it would not sound good.

It was not that he did not want to investigate. The following morning after he had learned of this matter, he had gone over to investigate immediately. However, after he saw the scene of the murders, the first thing he knew was that the murderer was definitely a person of the Great Archmage realm. Why would an unknown Great Archmage enter the Grimm family clan and then kill the head of the Grimm family and his son? He immediately examined carefully and then saw the traces of the formation on the floor which had not been completely erased. City Lord Lein was a level-4 Great Archmage and had seen many formations, but he had no clue about the formation in front of him at all. It was a formation which he had never seen before. According to City Lord Lein’s speculations, it was likely that this Grimm father and son had set up this formation late at night, and then, for some reason, they had provoked that Great Archmage and were eventually killed.

Looking at the frozen corpse of the head of the Grimm family, he immediately thought of a person. It was that powerful person whom he had met that night. The other party seemed to be emitting cold air continuously! With this thought, City Lord Lein immediately determined that the person was undoubtedly the murderer. Previously, he had been speculating about why such a powerful person had come to Winterfrost so late at night. He had not expected that it was just to kill a mere level-8 Great Mage, the head of the Grimm family. It seemed that the head of the Grimm family must have done something to thoroughly provoke the other party, which was why he had been killed.

However, the other party had only killed the head of the Grimm family clan and his son, and not the entire Grimm family clan. In City Lord Lein’s opinion, the other party was already exceptionally benevolent. Otherwise, even if the other party had killed his entire family, who would dare to say anything?

For example, right now, it was obvious to him that the other party was the murderer, but would he dare to catch the other party? He would not dare because he was only a level-4 Great Archmage, while the other party was a Great Archmage at the peak of the realm. Yesterday, the other party had merely waved his hand to send him flying two kilometers. Furthermore, he had shown mercy.. If he had dared to look for him, he would not have been just sent flying but killed directly.
