"This, what exactly … is going on?"
Looking at the nine blood fiends and the middle-aged man gathered in the living room, as well as the corpses of the four assassins on the floor.
Everyone from the Fergus Family other than Gray had expressions of shock and fear at the same time.
They were shocked that the four assassins had been killed so easily, frightened by the sudden appearance of the nine blood fiends and the middle-aged man's attitude towards the Fergus family.
What if they were here to exterminate the Fergus family as well?
If the four assassins had died so easily, what would happen to them, who were weaker than the four assassins?
"Gray, what's going on?"
Even Viscount Fergus found it hard to remain calm at this moment. He looked at Gray with shock on his face.
If not for Gray's reminder, he would have been trampled under the feet of one of the blood fiends. It was obvious that these nine blood fiends were related to Gray.
"Father, during this trip, I also obtained a special magic weapon. Its ability is to control dead creatures. These nine blood fiends and that person are all under my control."
Originally, Gray didn't want to tell Viscount Fergus and the others about his ability to control corpses. He didn't expect to encounter an assassination attempt, so he had no choice but to summon the blood fiends.
It was naturally impossible to say that this was the ability of his blood fiends, so Gray explained that it was a magical weapon with a special ability.
"A magical weapon that can control corpses …"
Hearing Gray's explanation, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes, their faces revealing astonishment and shock.
The shock on their faces was even greater than before. Just by listening to Gray's explanation of the magical weapon's ability, they could imagine how powerful this magical weapon was. They didn't expect Gray to obtain such a powerful weapon.
"Brother, are you a Ferocious Blood Warrior?"
"Gray, are you … a Ferocious Blood Warrior?"
… …
Moments later, everyone recovered from their shock. Finally, someone recalled the strength that Gray had displayed in the battle with the assassins.
They couldn't be blamed for reacting slowly. It was just that the shock they received just now was too great.
First, it was the sudden appearance of the nine blood fiends. Then, the four assassins who had almost taken their lives were killed in a matter of seconds. Finally, it was said that Gray possessed a special magic weapon that could control corpses.
Every piece of news was as shocking as Gray's display of the Ferocious Blood Warrior's strength.
"Yes."
Gray nodded in agreement.
After getting confirmation from Gray, Sarah hugged Gray's arm with all her strength in surprise.
Caroline covered her mouth in surprise.
Elise was dumbfounded.
Madame De Milan's eyes were filled with fear. At this moment, she really couldn't think of going against Gray.
"Lord Viscount …"
"Lord Viscount …"
A large number of footsteps approached. Lord Linde had rushed over with his guards, but when they saw the nine blood fiends, their expressions changed. They stood far away, not daring to approach.
Although the nine blood fiends were standing quietly in the living room and had no intention of attacking them, blood fiends were still blood fiends. How could they not be afraid?
"Linde, what's the situation outside?"
Viscount Fergus asked.
Of course, he had heard the fight outside.
"There was an assassin outside, but he was killed by these blood fiends!"
At this point, he couldn't help but look at the nine blood fiends in shock. His eyes were filled with horror.
The strength of the assassin outside was obvious to all. Just one person was able to block the path of over a hundred people. Almost every moment, a guard was killed by him.
Even he had almost died under his opponent's blade.
And yet, such a person was easily killed by these blood fiends that had suddenly barged into the castle. One could only imagine how powerful these blood fiends were.
"Move the bodies of these four away. You can leave now."
"Pass down the order. Don't tell anyone about what happened today. Otherwise, they will be executed immediately!"
Viscount Fergus thought for a moment and coldly ordered.
"Yes, Lord Viscount."
Lord Linde hurriedly nodded and left with his guards. He could tell that these blood fiends were definitely related to the Fergus family.
According to his estimation, these blood fiends were very likely the hidden strength of the Fergus family. They were only forced to reveal themselves after encountering the assassin.
"Gray, can these five assassins be controlled by the magic weapon?"
Viscount Fergus asked after making sure that Lord Linde and his guards had carried the four corpses far away.
"Yes, as long as their heads aren't damaged. But it'll take some time, so we'll need to find a quiet room."
Gray nodded.
"Alright, I'll have someone arrange it later."
Viscount Fergus didn't say anything about handing over the magic weapon that could control corpses.
A magic weapon that could control corpses and display unimaginable power. Even if it fell into his hands, he wouldn't hand it over. Naturally, Gray was the same.
Moreover, this magic weapon could also be used by the Fergus family if it was in Gray's hands. What was the difference between it being in the hands of the Fergus family?
After comforting Sarah, who was seeing dead people for the first time, Gray went to the room where the five Shadow Serpent assassins' corpses were piled. After closing the door, he used his ability to control corpses and controlled the five corpses.
Because he had already planned to control the five corpses, Gray didn't attack their heads when he controlled the blood fiends to attack. Even the wounds on their bodies weren't serious except for the fatal ones.
After doing all this, he went to the study.
"You're here!"
In the study, Viscount Fergus and Bernal were both present. Viscount Fergus nodded to Gray when he saw Gray enter.
Gray closed the door and said, "Father, I've already checked.
"Father, I've already checked. These people all have black snake tattoos on their arms. They are indeed members of the Shadow Serpent."
"It's really them."
Viscount Fergus's expression was grave. If it wasn't for Gray suddenly taking out the magic weapon that could control corpses, the entire Fergus family would have been destroyed.
"Father, I feel that this assassination didn't come at a normal time."
Bernal frowned.
"Although the Shadow Serpent escaped last time, they also suffered heavy losses. It's reasonable to say that they shouldn't dare to make a move against the Sidney Territory in a short period of time."
"Could it be that the matter of us telling the Sidney family has been exposed?"
Gray slightly raised his eyebrows. He also felt that this matter wasn't normal.
"It's possible."
Viscount Fergus's eyes showed that he was deep in thought.
"Whether it's because the matter of us telling the secret has been exposed or not, we should be able to find out tomorrow if other noble families have been assassinated."
… …
The next day, in the Rock family study.
"What's the situation with the Fergus family now?"
Viscount Rock asked.
"It's confirmed that the Fergus family was assassinated last night. However, the informant we infiltrated into the Fergus family castle was killed last night. We don't know the specific situation."
Viscount Rock's eldest son, Alfred, replied.
"However, according to the information obtained from external sources, it seems that only Viscount Fergus and Gray Fergus were injured, and it wasn't fatal."
"Only Emerson and Gray Fergus were injured, and it wasn't fatal?"
Hearing this news, the pen in Viscount Rock's hand snapped with a crack. He, who usually didn't show his emotions, showed a rare expression of annoyance on his face.
"Useless, simply useless. I spent so much effort to send the news to them, and they can't even destroy a viscount's family."
"Such a large assassination organization, isn't it a little too useless? Is it because of the last incident that they lost too much strength?"
Just as the two were talking in the study, a young servant passed by the study not far away.
He looked around and after confirming that there was no one around, he couldn't help but tiptoe closer to the door of the study and listen slightly.
