Chapter 269: Outsmarting Oneself

"Lord Muria, the decision to assassinate the Demon Hunter Knight was mine alone, not my family's. I am willing to take my own life as an apology. May I request you to spare my family?"

A distinguished man who appeared used to giving orders, knelt before Muria, his tone pleading earnestly.

Due to the well-developed teleportation system, information in the Kingdom spread extremely quickly. For instance, the King sitting in the Royal Palace could know, if he wished, what had happened in any part of the Kingdom just a moment ago.

Muria brought sixteen dragons and visited each family that once had issued assassination orders to the Demon Hunter Knight. Since Muria didn't commit random killings, he merely wiped out the nobles who were culprits and those belonging to the dark nobility.
