Chapter 788: Chapter 307: The Ancestral Laws Are Unchangeable - Part 3

"It’s Austin!"

Boom!!!

Continuous thunderclaps resounded in Douglas’s ears as his eyes turned blood-red and emitted a crimson glow. Each eye split into three pairs, forming symmetrical images left and right.

The aura of Hell coalesced around him, and thus the artificial Familiar was formed.

Frank not only tampered with Douglas’s thoughts but also implanted the Seven Deadly Sins Melody within him. Through The Book of Hell, he turned him into a Devil’s Familiar.

Because of Frank’s own beliefs, Douglas can be considered a Familiar of Lord Pride.

"Go, vindicate yourself, reclaim what’s fair for you. This is what Austin and the Queen owe you."

Frank pushed open the car door and left, the fleet of high-end cars drove out of the Dark Area, continuing in the direction of Buckingham Palace.

Douglas sat in the back seat of the limousine, his expression clear. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, free from all confusion.

"I’ve got it. According to my research, Frank of the Turner Family is a Hell Study Expert. The Queen relies on him heavily. His research will definitely be able to help me..."

Elsewhere.

After Frank left the motorcade, his face was once again shrouded in a dark mist, reverting to its original mysterious form.

He walked leisurely into the darkness, heading to Lundan’s Magical Department Headquarters.

"The Book of Hell still has room to evolve. Before the main course of Divine Blood, Bedford and Borne will be the appetizers, and also those two Legendary Mages of the Turner Family. I hope they can bring me a pleasant surprise..."

"And finally, Austin. Last time I did not see your secret, I hope this time you can be more sincere."

"Oh, and I almost forgot you, Wayne Lando..."

"Your path of evolution is quite interesting, providing many surprises to The Book of Hell. If I were to extend an invitation to you, would you be willing to worship the great Lord Pride?"

————

Lando Manor, the study.

Father and son sat opposite each other, each fiddling with an Ancient Silver Coin.

Austin watched the small trash can with an expressionless face, as if looking in a mirror and seeing himself from twenty years ago. The more he saw, the more he hated it.

What did he mean by imitating the way I play with the Ancient Silver Coin? Does he think he can be the head of the family?

Dream on, that’s impossible!

"The situation is like this: last night the Tulip Family was caught in a sweep, two Legendary Mages arrested, all declaring their loyalty to the Queen."

Wayne’s eyebrows twitched, and he spoke of loyalty, "You see, as the heir of the Lando Family, I absolutely support your loyalty to the Queen and me. Although I have not made my identity public, the Death Knight has proven everything with actions."

Hearing this gave Austin a headache, "What do you want to do? The Tulip Family is finished, tomorrow night’s banquet will only be for the Lando Family. Do you want me to become the Dark Knight?"

Becoming the Dark Knight was out of the question. Austin knew Wayne would not do that. After all, with the Death Knight around, it was not the Dark Knight’s turn to reveal himself.

To put it in words that Wayne would understand, for him to become the Dark Knight and gain all the attention through a massacre would be even more painful than killing Wayne.

So, what exactly was the plan?

"You’re overthinking. The Dark Knight cannot be exposed. If you are, your position as the Naturalism Church High Priest cannot be maintained..."

Wayne shook his head, speaking earnestly and then suddenly seemed to realize something, mumbling, "Maybe exposure is possible, from a different angle. The High Priest of the Naturalism Church tames the Dark Knight with his own power, the Church triumphs greatly, and the teacher might even get promoted, directly elected as Pope."

Austin rolled his eyes, saying, "If Hefei becomes Pope, he’ll have to go to the Naturalism Church Headquarters for his post, and this family would fall apart."

"That’s true, better not get promoted then."

Wayne nodded seriously, rubbing his hands together, "So, now you’re out of options. Have you figured out what to do tomorrow night?"

"I have no idea!"

"But the Queen has ideas!"

"I will calm the Queen down, that’s all."

"Mhm, I believe you."

Seeing that Austin was still playing hardball, Wayne didn’t push further and instead asked, "How’s the research on Divine Blood and the mist going? Got any targeted plans?"

"Why should I tell you?" Austin scoffed.

"Because the Death Knight will surely help you tomorrow night. You’re defenseless without a trump card. The Death Knight hates to see you wronged and might cause a bloodbath in a moment of passion. You don’t want to see that, do you?" Wayne winked, perfectly illustrating what it meant to have someone in his grip.

Strictly speaking, Wayne and the Envoy of the Dark Goddess had the same approach to pinning down Austin, targeting his weakness: his family, leaving him helpless.

Let’s not talk about fake words of loyalty to the Queen. Wayne didn’t believe Austin was a foolishly loyal person, as evident by how easily he gave up on the Princess’s safety.

In Austin’s world, family always came first, followed by order, a stable order.

Regarding Windsor, the traditions of ancestors cannot change; Austin’s loyalty was justified.

If a stable order affected his family, he would try his utmost to disrupt the order.

Austin held the Ancient Silver Coin and said helplessly, "I have two Ancient Silver Coins in my hand. One of them is compensation from the Queen. With this coin, I can limit Lundan’s mist, and the Queen’s biggest trump card will be ineffective. The Death Knight is more than enough to settle everything tomorrow night."

Austin believed the Queen would not use this trump card, but it was better to be safe than sorry and have a contingency plan.

"True to form, you sorted it out so quickly."

Wayne’s expression was odd, "But that was too quick. You couldn’t have been prepared from a long time ago?"

Seeing Austin remain silent, as if silence was golden, Wayne had a realization, "You originally had only one Ancient Silver Coin, but then you got Aob’s coin. I took that coin from you and cheated another from the Queen. Thinking of the timing, the day Aob died, you must have already started preparing..."
