Chapter 272


    While Gavin was treating Lora’s injuries, Harry led the Frostpeak Dark Warriors to track down Paxton.


    In Riverrun, Zenor Town, the Soutnd Mansion.


    The eightmanders gathered together again.


    However, it could be seen from their dispirited state that they had been really busy the past few days.


    However, there was still no progress on what they were busy with.


    In the past few days, the 800 thousand Soutnd Army soldiers thoroughly searched all the local


    residents, peddlers, and other family members in Zenor Town.


    Every family and house was investigated at least three times.


    However, they did not find anyone capable of infiltrating Soutnd Mansion and killing the Soutnd


    Overlord.


    In fact, they did not even find the slightest trace of Gavin, whom they wanted to


    stop.


    These two matters had yet toe to a conclusion.


    “What do we do now?” The oldestmander said in a deep voice.


    The remaining sevenmanders looked at each other, not knowing what to say.


    Themander, who was the oldest and strongest, spoke again.


    “We sealed the city immediately. The murderer who assassinated the Soutnd Overlord is definitely


    in this city, but we have no leads at all.


    “The Soutnd Overlord couldn’t havemitted suicide, right?”


    Hisst rhetorical question was clearly a helpless retort.


    However, the eyes of the other sevenmanders lit up when they heard this question.


    One of them nodded in agreement.


    “Huh?


    “Do you think there’s a possibility that the Soutnd Overlord died by himself?” As soon as he said


    this, the oldestmander almost exploded on the spot.


    He was about to re. up.


    At this moment, he heard someone else agree,


    “That’s right!


    “The Soutnd Overlord is already at the peak of celestial rank and infinitely close to the divine rank.


    How many people in this world can kill him? That Lord


    Riverrun General, who has been in seclusion for many years, couldn’t havee out all of a sudden to


    kill the Soutnd Overlord, right?”


    The third person also directly said,


    “Moreover, when we found the Soutnd Overlord, only his head was left. His entire body had


    exploded into powder.


    “Could it be that the Soutnd Overlord went berserk during cultivation and self-destructed?”


    Good lord, these people could evene up with the guess that the Soutnd Overlord killed himself.


    It was really absurd.


    The most absurd thing was that the sevenmanders actually nodded in agreement at the same


    time.


    “Makes sense!”


    Alright!


    Seeing this scene, the oldestmander was speechless.


    He thought to himself, “Why are the Soutnd Overlord’s subordinates all such idiots?”


    However…


    Was he scolding himself, too?


    To be honest, the oldestmander wanted to deny their point of view.


    But in this situation.


    Although he was certain that the Soutnd Overlord was assassinated, they could not find any


    evidence nor the murderer.


    It seemed that only the Soutnd Overlord’s self-destruction could exin what had happened.


    Therefore, this man pressed his lips with a strange expression and said helplessly, “In that case…


    “Let’s tell this news to the Southwest Overlord and the Southeast Overlord and see if they can contact


    the war general. After all, we can’t not have a Soutnd Overlord.”


    After thismander said this, the atmosphere in the entire prince’s mansion became strange.


    The expressions on the faces of this group of people looked like they were up to no good.


    However, on the surface, they all nodded in agreement.


    One of them said, “Alright, let’s sign it together and submit it!”


    Just like that.


    The dignified and powerful Soutnd Overlord, who had been in charge of Riverrun for decades,


    ended up being known as the overlord who had killed himself.


    This news spread.


    One could only wonder what the entire Riverrun would think.


    Of course, it didn’t matter what the people from Riverrun thought now.


    At West Blue.


    Harry had already stopped on the ceiling of a building with the Frostpeak Dark Warriors.


    With their strength, even if they swaggered on the ceiling, the person they were tracking would


    definitely not discover their whereabouts.


    After all, Gavin had done something like this, too.


    As Gavin’s subordinates, how could they not learn from Gavin?


    In the middle of the hall of this building.


    The disheveled Paxton was standing in the middle with his head lowered.


    He looked very nervous.


    It did not take long.


    A middle-aged man wearing the iconic clothing of Thorns walked out from the depths of the hall.


    His tone was very impatient. He frowned, and his attitude was extremely bad as he directly said to


    Paxton, “Who are you? What right do you have to seek an audience with the ruler of Thorns?”


    “Plop!”


    Paxton’s knees went weak, and he knelt on the ground.

    Then, he said loudly, “I am the next leader of the Craftsman Valley!


    “I have something that the ruler has been thinking about day and night. I’m here to offer it to the ruler!”


    Hearing Paxton’s words, this person from Thorns had a look of disdain on his face as he said coldly,


    “You’re the good-for-nothing who led our elites to surround the Craftsman Valley and caused our men


    to be wiped out?


    “How dare youe to us?


    “You must be tired of living! Die!”


    As he spoke, the man from Thorns actually attacked Paxton indiscriminately. Paxton immediately felt a


    sense of life and death danger.


    This was not what he wanted. He had snatched the token from Gavin to survive!


    When he saw that the other party was mercilessly about to crush him to death, he eximed,


    “I have the Bookspring Clifford family’s token!”


    “Buzz!”


    Upon hearing Paxton’s words, this person from Thorns stopped in his tracks.


    Then, he stared at Paxton in disbelief and questioned, “What did you say?


    “Give it to me!”


    This thing was indeed something that Thorns’ ruler valued greatly.


    The reason why Thorns had been secretly attacking Gavin was also because of the existence of this


    token.


    If the token could reach the hands of Thorns….


    Then the entire Thorns would have nothing to worry about in the future!


    However, at this moment, Paxton was more careful.


    This was because he had already sensed a life-and-death crisis just now.


    He was very sure that if he had not shouted the word “token”, he would have died. Now, if he took it out


    so easily, he was certain that the next thing the other party would do after obtaining it would be to


    silence him.


    Therefore, Paxton took a deep breath and said, “This thing is of great importance. I will only take it out


    when I see the ruler personally!”


    Hearing Paxton’s rejection, the man from Thorns instantly became furious.


    “Do you know that the item will still be mine if I kill you now?”


    Paxton had long known that this man would say this. Thus, at this moment, he deliberately gathered his


    courage and said loudly, “I knew you would do this. I’ve hidden the token in a ce that only I know


    about. If you kill me, no one will be able to see the Brookspring Clifford family’s token ever again!”


    “You!” This person from Thorns was instantly furious and speechless!
