Was there another murder? Tianchen and Steve jumped down from the carriage, thinking to themselves that the security of Saint John City wasn't very good! This was simply a paradise for criminals like them. The noble district in the east of the city had a total of three vertical roads and more than ten horizontal roads, forming a square. Now, all the intersections were blocked, and hundreds of noble families in the district were ordered to stay at home and not go out. From the streets of other streets, there were still soldiers rushing over. Clearly, the murder case here had just been discovered not long ago, and the city guards had only received the news. Tian Chen asked the soldiers guarding the street," I am Francis of the St. Caine Family…!”Before he could finish, the soldier shouted,"The Saint Bowen Army is stationed in the Imperial Capital. General Kirisek has ordered that the Chengdong District of the city be sealed off immediately. No one is allowed to enter or leave.”As he spoke, the soldier looked at Tian Chen strangely. He had heard from his colleagues in the City Guards that the disgrace of the Saint Caine Family had become smarter. Today, he did not look like an idiot anymore. The soldier's attitude was firm, and he even brought up his commander. Tian Chen could only shrug helplessly." Alright, I can take a detour, but my house is inside. Where can I take a detour?"”Steve stepped forward and smiled." Dear soldier, we are the sons of the deputy commander of the command center. It seems that my father's official position is higher than General Kirisek's, right? Here, look at this!" He took out a plate from his pocket. It was the size of a palm and was red in color. On it was carved a portrait of Siglu who had died in battle. The soldier immediately straightened his chest and saluted! "Can we go in now?？”Steve gently pushed the soldiers away and led Tian Chen into the noble district, but his carriage and coachman were stopped outside. "Brother, what's that sign for?”Tian Chen watched curiously as Steve kept the token in his arms. "This is the keepsake of the eldest son of the family. Sometimes, I can represent the entire St. Caine Family with it. However, hehe, this thing is best used to scare my love rival!”Steve smiled and looked around again." That's strange. They've sealed off the entire Urban area. Something must have happened to a big shot!”As the two brothers were talking, a group of soldiers rushed over to their side. However, they were not dressed in the dark green short armor of the city guards. Instead, they were dressed in red heavy armor. They held red fire patterned heavy shields and red horse-killing sabers. "Wow, even Verne's guards have been mobilized!”Steve shouted exaggeratedly, pointing at the group of soldiers and explaining to Tian Chen,""They are one of the most powerful soldiers of the Empire, the royal guards of Verne Palace! Together with the Hurricane Heavy Armored Soldiers of the Christen family and our Holy Flame Knights, they are also known as the three great armies of Lanning!”Tian Chen's heart trembled. He had only heard about how powerful and glorious the Saint Caine Family was in the past. But today, he knew that his family possessed a martial power that was not inferior to the Lanning Royal Family! But so what? Tian Chen had already decided to leave, but before that, he had to get a huge sum of money. Otherwise, would he still ask Old Fuye and Ariza to be thieves with him? "Interesting. The Verne Guards won't be easily dispatched! My dear brother, let's go and watch the show!”Steve excitedly pulled Sky Dust along and followed behind the guard. Verne's guards ran out of a manor in an orderly manner. One of them did not say anything and directly broke in. The others erected heavy shields in front of the manor's main entrance and actually put up a defensive formation. Tian Chen asked Ariza to follow him to the front of the manor. There was no statue in front of the door, which meant that there was no glorious titled Battle God in this family's ancestors! Looking at the manor's door plate, Tian Chen was stunned. This was the home of the finance minister, which was also the home of Ferris who attacked him last night! Could it be that an accident happened here too? "Steve, Francis, why are you here?？”At this moment, Angus and a few other nobles had arrived at the manor of the Chancellor of Finance. Their official positions were higher than the regimental commander of the Imperial Capital, so they were naturally not restricted by the ban. Tian Chen looked coldly at his 'father', but did not say anything. Steve tried to smooth things over." Father, something unexpected happened in St. John's Cathedral, but Father Ferdinand asked for secrecy. You…" He looked at the other nobles who followed Angus. It was obvious that only the father and son could know what he was going to say next. The nobles tactfully left. A few of them with extremely high official positions walked into the manor of the finance minister. " Father, Ferris was killed," Steve said." The murderer didn't alert anyone!”" What?" Anjese's face instantly turned ashen." He was killed in St. John's Cathedral!？”Suddenly, a few of the ministers who had just entered the manor covered their mouths as they vomited and ran out." Oh my god, the Battle God has blessed us. It's too cruel. Deputy Chief Anjis, the situation inside is not suitable for civil officials to participate. It's better for the soldiers to take over!"”"You are important officials of the empire, so maintain your manners!" Anjese shouted. What's the situation inside?" "They're all dead. Other than the slaves and servants, the 27 members of the Chancellor's family were all killed, and…they were skinned!”Tian Chen's heart skipped a beat. He could not care less about his discord with Angelis and whispered,""Ferris was also skinned!”Crunch, crunch. Angelis clenched his fists, his bones cracking. Although Tian Chen hated him, he had to admit that the level eight Mystic Combat God Angelis's aura was too intimidating. "This is a provocation to the Empire. Humph, Steve, you take Francis home and don't come out without my order!”……When Tian Chen returned home and met up with Old Foye and Ariza, the alert in the noble district of St. John City was raised. No one was allowed to enter or leave the noble district unless they had an order signed by His Majesty Balgner of the Empire and Father Ferdinand of the Holy Church. Furthermore, Tian Chen and the other insiders were warned not to leak any information! It was no wonder. The entire family of the Empire's Finance Minister had been annihilated, and one of them had even died in the largest cathedral of the Battle God Holy Church on the Iins Continent. This was a provocation to both the Empire and the Holy Church! In the evening, Angelis returned to the manor. There was no progress in solving the murder case, and his expression was not good. Late at night, a group of people in long robes arrived at St. Caine Manor. They all had big hats over their heads, as if they didn't want anyone to know their identities. "Stop!" The warriors of the St. Caine Family stepped forward to stop him, but one of them handed him a token and whispered,""Get Angelis and Francis to see me!”The warrior glanced at the sign and his expression changed. He said solemnly,"I understand. Please enter the inner court and wait! Men, lock down the square in front of the gate!" Not long after, Angelis hurriedly led his family to the inner courtyard. Tian Chen was also called out. Angus quickly walked to the man in the long robe. At the same time, he raised the three fingers of his left hand and pressed them on his right chest. This was the etiquette between the Battle Gods, indicating that he was a level-eight Mystic Martial God. "Respected Godfather, thank you for coming to St. Caine Manor. Are you looking for Francis?”The man in the long robe took off his hat. It was Ferdinand." Yes, when I was investigating the murder case, I found something very interesting. It has something to do with Francis!”
