Chapter 1375: Impersonation

~7 min read 1,385 words

In the castle of the Duke of Lorraine, countless people stared nervously at the two men in the dueling arena.

Liu Zheng and the fake Franz became the focus of the entire venue.

The two men turned around, holding guns in their hands, and walked toward their respective fronts.

A smile gradually appeared on the face of the Duke of Lorraine; this duel would definitely be won.

This assassin was someone he had spent a great deal of effort to hire, and he was countless times stronger than that piece of trash previously called the number one assassin of Vienna.

He had also investigated Liu Sheng.

He was merely a Longyan merchant, and there was simply no comparison between him and such an assassin.

He had this duel in the bag.

The Duke of Lorraine glanced at the woman hailed as the most beautiful in Europe, Theresa, and revealed a smile.

Although Franz was still in a coma, Theresa was already in the pocket of their Lorraine Family.

There was no suspense whatsoever.

At this moment, both men in the dueling arena had walked five paces.

Almost at the same time, the two men turned around.

Bang!

The gun fired.

The smile on the Duke of Lorraine's face grew even wider; a single gunshot could only mean that the assassin he had hired had already finished off Liu Sheng.

"Haha, Grand Duke Theresa, I hope you will fulfill your promise."

"Liu Sheng is already dead, and dead as can be!"

The Duke of Lorraine laughed wildly.

At this time, the poor who had poured in saw this scene, were also stunned, and could not help but sigh.

Looking at the high reaches of the castle, the figure of the Duke of Lorraine and those Austrian Nobles, it was truly too difficult to win against them.

This was clearly a rigged game.

It was absolutely impossible for Franz to win this match.

Just looking at him, he could barely even serve a woman, so how could he possibly win against this Longyan man?

Absolutely impossible!

Those Nobles had long known this would be the result and laughed contemptuously.

How could a Longyan man possibly win against the greatest Noble here in Vienna, even if he had Grand Duke Theresa backing him, and even if he had Count Austin providing protection?

There was no way he could win against the Lorraine Family.

Just at this moment, Count Austin arrived, bringing a cart of Yinzhou Drunk.

He burst into the Duke of Lorraine's castle and saw the silent expression of the entire venue.

The high-and-mighty Austrian Nobles revealed very contemptuous smiles, while those people from the slums were very sorrowful.

He hadn't yet had time to see the situation in the dueling arena.

Count Austin's eyes suddenly grew moist; he hadn't expected that the Liu Sheng who created miracles had actually lost.

He had come too late...

"Grand Duke Theresa, how about it?" the Duke of Lorraine said with a smile.

Theresa turned her head without changing her expression: "Duke of Lorraine, I'm afraid you didn't see clearly what happened in the arena, did you?"

The Duke of Lorraine was slightly stunned upon hearing these words.

What did that mean?

He subconsciously looked toward the dueling arena, his brow furrowing even more heavily.

In the quiet arena, others also came to their senses, looked toward the dueling arena, and their expressions changed abruptly!

"This..."

"Look quickly, Liu Sheng and Franz are both standing, and there is no blood on either of their bodies!"

Just at this moment, that Franz laughed and said: "Longyan man?"

"You are not bad."

As he spoke, this fake Franz pulled a steel plate from his chest and threw it to the ground.

There was a bullet hole on that steel plate, exactly corresponding to the position of the heart; if it had truly hit, he would have died without a doubt!

The Duke of Lorraine at the high reaches of the castle saw this scene and immediately revealed a look of horror.

That shot just now had actually been fired by Liu Sheng, and the assassin he had hired

had actually failed to finish him off!

This... was simply unbelievable.

"Finish him off quickly!" the Duke of Lorraine roared angrily.

But that assassin acted as if he hadn't heard him and said to Liu Zheng: "Don't worry, I won't listen to him."

"And besides." The assassin removed the disguise from his face.

The Duke of Lorraine's expression changed drastically, and he shouted angrily in a rush: "What are you doing!"

"I order you to kill him!"

The assassin ignored the Duke of Lorraine entirely, grabbed the mask covering his face, and tossed it aside, revealing his original face.

"Everyone, have you seen? I am not Franz!"

Once these words were spoken, the entire venue was incredibly astonished.

Liu Zheng was also quite surprised; he suddenly thought of something and understood the meaning of what Theresa had said to him.

The Austrian Nobles saw this scene and were also completely dumbfounded.

The assassin hired by the Lorraine Family had actually betrayed them.

They had actually taken the initiative to make their own identity public; as they looked at the Duke of Lorraine again, a monstrous rage rose upon his face.

But they all knew that the Duke of Lorraine was finished, and the Lorraine Family would also suffer a heavy blow because of this!

Seeing this scene, those people in the slums rioted instantly.

"I knew there was an inside story all along!"

"The Duke of Lorraine even dares to have people impersonate others directly; he is truly worthy of being the greatest Noble family in Austria."

"What kind of Noble, they are no better than pigs and dogs!"

The scene immediately fell into chaos, and the Duke of Lorraine shouted angrily: "Guards, guards, suppress these people!"

But not a single one of these guards moved.

"Heh." Victor sneered, stood up, and said indifferently: "Duke of Lorraine, hiring a killer to commit murder and violating the duel agreement, you deserve to be executed; lock him up first and wait for the final verdict!"

Those guards immediately swarmed up and took the Duke of Lorraine into custody.

Only at this moment did the Duke of Lorraine understand everything.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!

It turned out that the biggest winner this time was Victor, this Victor who entered the scene last!

"Grand Duke Theresa, what do you think?"

Theresa had known everything for a long time; she nodded and glanced at the Duke of Lorraine coldly.

"Duke of Lorraine, I will not let you die, but Franz has presumably already been... by Liu Sheng."

The pupils of the Duke of Lorraine shrank suddenly!

"You actually..."

Theresa shook her head; she looked at Liu Sheng, her heart feeling inexplicably complex: "From the moment Franz offended him, his ending was already destined."

The Duke of Lorraine fell silent all at once, his whole person looking like a frail old man.

He no longer had his previous imposing manner.

The Duke of Lorraine was taken away by the guards, but this chaos would not end because of it.

Theresa looked at Liu Zheng, remembering the words he said about letting her choose for herself.

"Liu Sheng, I'm sorry, I cannot go with you, so I can only choose Austria..."

Liu Zheng, who was on the scene, saw this and shook his head with a smile; he had long guessed that Theresa would choose this way.

Since that was the case, he would return the favor to her by clearing away her current obstacles, such as the Lorraine Family...

He looked at the chaotic scene before him.

Right now was also a good time for them to take action.

Just at this time, Franz, who was far away recovering from his injuries, had regained consciousness, but he dared not move a muscle throughout his entire body.

At this moment, a team of people rushed into the place where he was healing and found Franz.

"You are Franz, someone sent us to send you on your way!"

Woo woo woo...

Franz's eyes were filled with fear; that person raised their hand and the blade fell, and this scourge, Franz, no longer had any life left.
