Chapter 151 The Traitor's Counterattack

"That damned Zhuo Er! How could he—how could he do that with the lady!"

Perry suppressed his anger, clenched his fists, and stormed back to his room.

She frowned deeply, her heart filled with resentment.

Suddenly, she drew her rapier and stabbed it fiercely into the wall beside her.

The shadows shifted, and the figure of a masked man emerged.

He raised his hand with a wry smile, making a gesture of surrender.

"Mr. Perry, whatever has happened to you, there is no need to vent your anger on your partner."

Perry stared at him, gritted his teeth, and sheathed his rapier: "How's it going on your end? I've given you all the information I was supposed to."

The man bowed slightly, a smile on his face: "The letter has been successfully intercepted. For the next two days, please make sure to keep that Zhuo Er occupied and prevent him from leaving."

"understood."

Perry gritted her teeth and replied, then looked at the man.

"If possible—if you must kill him, please let me do it."

The man gave a wry smile: "--Okay."

Just as the two were discussing, a voice suddenly rang out: "Thunderclap!"

Both of them paled at the same time, but a tremendous thunderclap had already deafened them.

The sound spread instantly, reaching not only the room but the entire manor, and even the people in other rooms, who all rushed over.

The sound of hurried footsteps drew rapidly closer.

The man's expression changed drastically, and he tried to escape through the window, but he had just jumped out of the window.

A tremendous force slammed into his chest.

"Ugh!"

He was thrown backward by the impact and crashed heavily to the ground.

Kane, who had just appeared, frowned as he watched all this.

He originally just wanted to test this sword dancer in some other way.

Unexpectedly, someone who clearly did not belong to the Finafenne family was hiding in her room, so he created the explosion, attracting more people.

"Damn it!"

Perry's face contorted in shock as he looked at the man lying on the ground, coughing up blood and clearly unconscious from serious injuries, before glaring at Kane.

"You're following me?"

Kane shook his head: "It's your own carelessness."

Lady Ella arrived in haste with more than ten guards.

She glanced at the masked man lying on the ground, then at Perry's pale face, and immediately understood what was going on.

She looked at Perry with a complex expression, a mix of emotions swirling within her.

"Why?" she asked.

Perry lowered his head sadly, then laughed again: "Madam, all these years, I've stayed by your side, dealing with so many enemies for you? Assassinations, poisonings, eliminating dissidents—but what have you done?"

You've never touched me, never even crossed the line. What am I to you?

A useful tool? Or... do you just want to see me jealous of you?

Mrs. Ella cried out urgently, "No—that's not how it is! I didn't mean it that way—" She looked like she was about to cry.

Kane's lips twitched slightly, while Risa, who had appeared out of nowhere, watched all of this with great interest.

Kane frowned and said to Perry, "So, what about the letters from the Royal Court? How did you handle them?"

Perry sneered: "Of course they stopped it. The great King Sussas knew nothing about it."

Moreover, before that, I'm going to let this Lord Drow get a taste of my wrath!

As soon as she finished speaking, she lunged forward and drew her rapier—she drew both swords at once, employing a double-sword fighting technique!

The sword flashed straight at Kane.

Kane parried with his scimitar, his eyes flickering slightly as he decided to no longer hold back.

The most important thing right now is to capture her and extract information from her.

This encounter was similar to the last one, but Perry's every sword strike was imbued with a resolute killing intent, as if he were seeking mutual destruction.

Kengger activated a spell and whispered, "Shield."

Perry's rapier was blocked by an invisible barrier. She was stunned, and at the same time, for some reason, her foot suddenly sank into the ground, causing her to stumble.

Bang! The scimitar swung down, and Perry hurriedly adjusted his stance, struggling to parry.

Kane, unhurriedly, swung his knife and pressed forward.

In terms of close combat skills alone, the two are actually quite evenly matched, with Perry even possessing the explosive skill of stacking swords.

But Kane was, after all, a spellcaster, and his slow and steady pressure and harassment were enough to overwhelm his opponent.

Without hesitation, Kane activated the "Fear" spell on his enchanted scimitar.

Perry's expression froze as he took a solid kick to the chest and fell backward.

Perry struggled to her feet, but the scimitar was already at her neck, drawing blood.

"Lord Kane, please stop!"

Mrs. Ella stepped forward.

Kane's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Ella: "Madam, we must obtain the intelligence as soon as possible, or the consequences will be dire."

The messenger has failed, and our situation is dire.

Mrs. Ella remained silent.

She knew Kane was right; logically, she shouldn't be soft-hearted at this moment.

Perry gave a bitter smile.

But a moment later, Mrs. Ella raised her head, passed through the guards, and suddenly approached.

"Please put the knife down, Perry won't hurt me."

Kane frowned, but still sheathed his knife, watching as Mrs. Ella crouched down and looked at Perry.

Perry stared at her coldly: "I'm nothing but a traitor, what else is there to say?"

"I'm sorry," Ella suddenly said.

Perry was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, she felt herself being held tightly in a hug—a hug she had always longed for but never received.

"Why—?" Perry hesitated, unable to finish his sentence.

Mrs. Ella whispered, "Because I cherish you, I dare not touch you—I'm sorry."

From now on, please walk this path alone—walk it well.

Perry's expression was complicated.

Ella looked up at Kane and said, "Please let her go."

Kane's eyes flickered as he looked at Perry, who was being helped to stand by Ella. After a moment's hesitation, he finally put down his knife.

He still needs this ally for the time being.

Despite the failure to deliver the message, as a noblewoman, she still had many channels at her disposal.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Perry walked through the throng and headed outside.

As she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and, without turning her head, said, "You all should run away quickly—the army is coming soon."

Kane's expression changed slightly, and the other guards showed even more fear. As people from Twin Harbor, they knew all too well what the "legion" meant.

That is a force that only the Susas Royal Court can mobilize.

This means that their master has completely broken with the royal court.

Kane's gaze suddenly shifted to the other side!

The man who should have been unconscious had somehow gotten up, holding a dagger, and actually stabbed Ella in the back!

Whoosh!

A rapier pierced through the crowd, striking precisely and penetrating his chest.

The man looked down in disbelief at the sword blade that had pierced his chest, then at Perry, who had thrown the sword.

He glared menacingly at the crowd, blood spilling from his mouth, and said viciously, "Your messengers—to assassinate—the heir to the throne—prepare—to die—!"

Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground.

However, his final words plunged everyone on the field into even deeper fear.

Kane's gaze turned completely serious.

Perry was nowhere to be seen at the doorway.
