Chapter 63

The next day.

The morning mist had not yet dispersed, and the castle's training ground was already full of people.

Hundreds of soldiers wearing leather armor stood in neat rows, their hands gripping iron spears tightly, their eyes fixed firmly ahead.

Knight Solin and Knight Lei Mi, the two attendant knights of the lord, stood at the very front of the formation in gleaming armor.

And before them was Kalen, wearing a suit of pitch-black armor, holding a pitch-black longsword, and riding a giant wolf, looking majestic.

Lady Danielle also followed behind him, riding a beautiful white horse.

"Solin, Lei Mi." Kalen said in a deep voice.

"Here." The two knights knelt on one knee simultaneously.

"You will each take one hundred soldiers and head to Langya Town and Yingguo Town. According to the locations provided by Xiao En, go immediately to arrest the evildoers and bring them all to the dungeon in Ore Town. Remember, do not let anyone go; if they resist, kill them on the spot!" Kalen ordered.

"Yes, my liege."

The two knights mounted their horses and set off in a grand manner, each leading a team of soldiers.

"The remaining soldiers, come with me to Ore Town."

Having said that, the Black Abyss Wolf carried Kalen away, and Danielle and the army followed closely behind.

Bedroom.

Tap, tap, tap.

The sound of hundreds of people's footsteps woke Xia Mingyu, who was sleeping soundly. He got up and pulled open the window curtains, just in time to see Kalen riding the black wolf and leading the army out outside the window.

"Proposed early yesterday morning, and set off early this morning; this is too efficient!"

Xia Mingyu's mouth twitched; he had already guessed the purpose of Kalen mobilizing the army.

Looking at it this way, his promise to be a godfather was quite a tempting thing for nobles.

"Kalen is someone who is so careful that he even notices the skirt of Miss Anliya; he shouldn't kill the innocent indiscriminately. Since that's the case... sigh, sigh."

Xia Mingyu turned over and continued to sleep soundly.

Yingguo Town.

Silver Lily Brothel.

The patrons and the brothel thugs were bewildered as they were dragged out by the soldiers who rushed into the brothel like wolves and tigers. Any hesitation was met with clubs, and finally, they were all ordered to put their hands behind their heads and squat on the ground.

They had no thoughts of resistance at all, because as long as they weren't blind, they could see the fine leather armor on these soldiers and the Transcendent Knight leading them in armor... This meant that this operation was the lord's order.

And the lord had authority above all else in the Black Wolf territory.

"Knight Solin, sir, I have never asked for the debt you owed here. For the sake of this friendship, please let me go."

The doorman who was caught begged bitterly.

Hearing this, Knight Solin narrowed his eyes.

As the most loyal attendant to the Lord, he vaguely knew the reason for this operation; it seemed to be related to that supreme Highness.

Since that was the case...

"Good, I'll let you go." Knight Solin squeezed out a stiff smile and led the overjoyed doorman toward the bushes in the distance.

Not long after, he returned alone as if nothing had happened, only his hands were inexplicably stained with a bit of blood.

Golden Jasmine Brothel, Tulip Brothel, Purple Iris Brothel...

The same scene was played out almost simultaneously in all the brothels throughout the Black Wolf territory.

Ore Town.

In a luxurious villa.

The leader of the Wolf Gang, who was also the liege of Hoke—Eli Hius—had just woken up from the arms of two beautiful maids when he looked out the window in a daze to see hundreds of soldiers with spears surrounding his house tightly.

And the man in pitch-black armor leading them was that good uncle who killed his father, the Morning Star Rank Great Knight "Howling Wolf" Kalen Hius.

Eli: "???"

He had only opened a few brothels and formed a small gang; was it necessary to mobilize the army to come and suppress him personally?

He had been paying his taxes properly every year!

And even because Kalen was too powerful, he had long forgotten the hatred of his father's death and only wanted to eat, drink, play, and sleep with women for the rest of his life relying on the noble protection above his head. He didn't even dare to seek revenge when his attendant knight died a few days ago.

Boom, boom!

Before he could think clearly about the reason, the soldiers broke down the door and brought him, who was only wearing a pair of shorts, before the lord.

"Uncle, what on earth have I done to deserve this from you?"

"If you are worried that I will take revenge on you, I can swear to the gods immediately that my father is no longer my father."

Eli said in panic.

Although he had killed many people, when it was his own life in the hands of others, he still felt extreme unease and fear.

"The God of Sun and Justice is above, I, Eli Hius..."

"Enough, enough." Kalen interrupted his oath with a complex expression.

"Someone, send him to the dungeon." Kalen glanced at Danielle, who was eyeing him covetously on the side, and ordered helplessly.

"Uncle! Uncle! I am your own nephew!"

The soldiers ignored Eli's wailing and carried him away.

"Oh my, Kalen, this is your own nephew, the bloodline of our House of Hius!"

Fran Hius, the mayor of Ore Town, who had rushed over in a hurry, looked at Eli being taken to the dungeon by the soldiers and was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

He was the younger brother and right-hand man of the previous Viscount Hius, and also Kalen's own uncle.

At sixty years old, he could almost be said to have dedicated his life to the House of Hius, and he had watched Kalen and his brother grow up. Therefore, even though Kalen was already a lord, he was always respectful to this uncle on weekdays.

"Kalen, how could you be so cruel? Black Wolf Castle is so big, yet you drove the young Eli out of the castle at that time. Now, are you going to kill him too!"

"Our House of Hius really doesn't have many direct bloodlines left!"

Fran grabbed Kalen's arm and begged bitterly.

His own uncle's begging made Kalen's expression move a little, while Danielle's eyes on the side narrowed again.

One nephew didn't feel like enough weight; if an uncle were added, wouldn't it be even better to show His Highness our determination to follow him...

Anyway, they weren't her nephew and uncle; if they all died, it would just be perfect to make room for her own confidants.

"Uncle Fran, listen to your words; it seems Eli hasn't received little care from you on weekdays, right?" Danielle said with a smile.

"Of course, that child Eli was driven out alone at that time. If I hadn't taken care of him like my own son, how could he have unified all the brothels in the Black Wolf territory and established the Wolf Gang alone?"

Fran did not notice the trap Danielle had dug for him at all, or rather, he didn't think in that direction at all. After all, wasn't opening brothels and forming gangs a matter of course for nobles?

And this was also a way to increase the territory's tax revenue. After all, many things in the dark could not be done by the great and righteous lord; there had to be black gloves, and that was Eli's positioning in his eyes.

Hearing this, Danielle whispered a few words to Kalen, and Kalen looked at Danielle in shock.

"Uncle Fran, please turn around and look; Eli has already..." Danielle stopped mid-sentence.

Hearing this, Fran turned around in a panic, but before he could see clearly, he only felt a heavy blow to the back of his head and fell to the ground with a blackness before his eyes.

The great cleanup lasted for three full days. Not only the thugs in the brothels and gang members, but even the petty hooligans who looked for trouble on the street on weekdays were stuffed into the dungeon of Ore Town like dumplings.

In the large dungeon, it was now packed with evildoers.

They wailed and struggled, but no matter what, they couldn't figure out what kind of madness the high-and-mighty lord had gone into to do this.

How could there be no brothels and gangs in the territory? This was too radical!
