The ugly iron mask blocked the attacker's face, but there were some things that a mask couldn't block.
When he was a toddler, his mother dressed him and fed him with both hands.
When he was a child, his mother gently stroked his back to coax him to sleep.
When he was a boy, his mother held his hand and prayed together, hoping that he would pass the medical exam smoothly.
Too many memories, coming like a tidal wave.
Andinan lowered his head with difficulty and looked at the man in the iron mask in front of him.
Then……
He murmured lowly.
"Mother?"
"Mother, is that you?"
Tears couldn't stop flowing down. Even though he was on the verge of suffocation, Andinan subconsciously raised his hands and wanted to hug his mother.
But--
"Isn't it good to die like this?"
After the familiar voice sounded, the man in the iron mask casually threw Andinan and Little Gratz down and took off the iron mask.
Andinan lay on the ground and stared at this scene.
That's right, it's Charlotte Chambers!
It's his mother!
The mother who was supposed to be dead stood in front of Andinan again.
However, the young man who gradually woke up did not feel the slightest bit happy.
All I have is...at a loss.
Not fear.
Not nervous.
Just confused and at a loss.
Although the young man's smart brain was a mess at the moment, he still had basic judgment. The moment he saw his mother, the whole context of the matter emerged before his eyes.
However, young people don't want to admit it.
He opened his mouth, finally gritted his teeth, and mustered up the courage to ask.
"The notebook that was not completely burned, what was originally recorded in it was not the information about the laboratory of that 'Modeus', it was just a simple notebook, right?"
The young man asked carefully but worriedly.
Obviously, don’t give up.
Then, reality is cruel.
"The information recorded above is the information from the subcoronal laboratory of 'Modeus'."
Charlotte Chambers answered directly.
Suddenly, the young man's body shook.
Even if he guessed it, the young man didn't want to believe it. After his mother admitted it, he fell silent.
Assassinate the Archduke of Graz!
Assassination of Graz!
Attack on Little Graz!
His mother did everything!
Of course, there is also the possibility of blaming him!
"Why?"
"Why do you do this?"
There was confusion in the young man's eyes. He stood up and wanted to ask his mother why she did this.
However, he was kicked to the ground by his mother.
After several times in a row, the young man gave up and allowed his mother to step on his head.
"Why?"
"Of course it's because of your father."
"I love him, and he loves me, but he loves Ryan more than the entire Ryan, so I plan to destroy the entire Ryan - is this reason enough?"
Charlotte Chambers laughed softly.
Such an answer made the young man frown.
lie!
He was able to confirm that his mother was lying at this time!
The young man wanted to struggle and refute his mother, but he was stepped on and unable to move!
"Cough, cough."
"Snake's heir is indeed as cunning and ruthless as a snake."
Amidst a series of coughs, Silik used his staff to support his body and stood up. The old consultant looked at Charlotte Chambers in front of him and said what he knew.
"Twenty years ago, there was a Snake heir who assassinated the Archduke of Graz, but it failed. The assassin disappeared, and the Archduke of Graz did not pursue the case."
"That assassin should be you, right?"
"Princess Snake!"
The old consultant looked at the lady in front of him.
"Sometimes, it's not good to know too much."
Charlotte, Chambers, no...it was Charlotte. Snake turned to look at the old consultant, raising the dagger in his hand slightly.
"Now, does it matter how much you know?"
"Will you let us go?"
"No."
"You have been planning for so many years, and even made the Archduke of Graz mistakenly think that you were in love with him, and finally completed this plan. How could you let us go?"
The old consultant smiled bitterly.
Then, he was stabbed through the abdomen by Charlotte Snake's dagger.
The pain made the old consultant's face tremble. He glanced at Little Graz, who was stunned not far away, and raised his hand to grab the hand holding the dagger of Charlotte Snake.
"Run!"
shouted the old counselor.
A force field appeared on his body, wrapping both the old consultant and Charlotte Snake. The huge force seemed to crush Charlotte Snake.
Feeling the squeeze, Charlotte Sinek smiled disdainfully.
"Men are always so conceited!"
"That's how it is in Graz."
"The same goes for you."
Saying such words, Charlotte Snake twisted her wrist like a snake, and suddenly pulled out her palm from the shackles of the old consultant, and then waved her palm continuously.
Snap!
Like a soap bubble, the force field shield that had just appeared shattered.
The old consultant's body trembled, as if he had been struck by lightning, and he fell to the ground exhausted.
Little Gratz, who had just ran two meters away, was kicked back.
Charlotte Snake raised his hand and threw a throwing knife.
Little Graz, who was kicked to the ground, had no strength to dodge and watched the flying knife coming straight towards him.
puff!
Little Gratz closed his eyes.
The pain did not appear.
The second son of the Grand Duke was stunned for a moment. After slowly opening his eyes, he saw Andinan standing in front of him.
"Andinan?!"
The Grand Duke's second son exclaimed, getting up and supporting the shaky young man.
Seeing the flying knife stuck in the young man's chest, little Gratz burst into tears. He never thought that he would be saved by Andinan.
"Why?"
Little Gratz asked blankly.
"Because, you called me brother!"
"So, I want to protect you!"
Andinan joked, but he was full of apologies in his heart.
It was his mother who made little Graz lose his father and brother.
Naturally, he could never let his mother kill little Gratz in front of him again.
The young man wanted to say sorry to Little Graz, but the next moment he began to cough up blood violently.
The medical knowledge he had learned told him that his mother's flying knife not only pierced his lungs, but also contained poison, which had already begun to paralyze his nerves.
The feeling of suffocation appeared again.
It was impossible for him to survive.
Little Gratz raised his hand to wipe Andinan's blood, but it was completely useless.
Suddenly, the Grand Duke's second son panicked.
Although he once called Andinan brother, he knew very well that the relationship between the two parties was not that close at all. According to the previous position, it was not an exaggeration to say that they were enemies.
Now?
It's just a forced cooperation.
But under such a premise, Andinan would actually save him!
The gratitude in my heart made the second son of the Grand Duke not want Andinan to die!
But, it’s no use!
The blood coughed out of Andinan's mouth could not be stopped at all.
Moreover, the blood has begun to turn black!
Charlotte Snake on the side immediately sneered.
"Tsk, just as stupid as your stupid father!"
Saying these words, Charlotte Snake picked up the furious Andinan and threw him directly to the corner of the house, looking at Little Graz with murderous intent.
Little Graz, who was timid and timid, was not frightened this time.
"You crazy woman!"
"Andinan is your son!"
"You even killed your son!"
The second son of the Grand Duke roared angrily.
"For the soul of Snake, I can kill my husband!"
"Of course I can kill my son!"
"And you're next!"
Charlotte Snake looked at Little Graz with disdain and said: "You look like that bastard, but compared with that guy, you are a waste, a waste who only knows how to roar!
"
"You are the only one left in Graz's bloodline!"
"Now……"
"It's time to cut it off!"
Charlotte Snake raised the dagger.
quack!
The crow crows.
A sound broke through the air.
Charlotte Snake turned to dodge, and several crows passed by.
Then, more crows swooped down.
Charlotte Snake waved her dagger repeatedly, and several crows were cut into two.
But more crows surrounded each other.
This forced Charlotte Snake to retreat, but at this moment, a figure jumped out from the crowd of crows and kicked Charlotte Snake.
Extraordinary 【Unarmed Fighting】!
[Mastery of double-leg fighting]!
Bang!
The superimposed force of the two kicked hard on the waist and abdomen of Charlotte Snake, who was unable to dodge. [Super II]'s additional 'bullet level' attack exploded instantly.
puff!
The other party blurted out a mouthful of blood and staggered back, but was caught by Goethe.
Charlotte Snake's wrist shook like a snake again, but it was useless. Goethe's palm seemed to be sucked into the opponent's wrist, which not only made it impossible for the opponent to break free, but also removed the opponent's wrist joint.
[Mastery in Grappling and Fighting]!
Charlotte Snake, whose wrist was removed, was pulled back by Goethe. Goethe's knee suddenly lifted up, like a battering ram, hitting the opponent's chin from bottom to top.
Bang!
Click!
The dull impact was mixed with the sound of bones breaking.
Charlotte Snake's upper body tilted back uncontrollably, but the opponent used the force of the tilt to lift one leg straight up.
When Goethe dodged sideways, his leg twisted strangely, like a snake, and kicked Goethe's neck.
Whoosh!
This was very sudden and extremely subtle.
However, Goethe ducked away and grabbed the opponent's ankle!
[Dodge Mastery]!
[Mastery in Grappling and Fighting]!
Then--
[Mastery in throwing and fighting]!
It was like swinging a sledgehammer, rounding the opponent and hitting him on the ground!
Bang!
The ground trembled.
The opponent was knocked unconscious.
Goethe straddled the opponent in one step and punched out quickly with both fists.
[Mastery in Two-Handed Fighting]!
The speed was so fast that it left an afterimage.
The sound of hitting was even more continuous.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Charlotte Snake's upper body was smashed into the ground, and her feet were even knocked off the ground.
After a full ten seconds, when Goethe stopped, Charlotte Snake had already lost his human form.
All bones in the upper body were broken.
The head is completely deformed.
But there is still breath.
But Goethe's attacks did not stop.
Fire flickered in the palm of my hand.
The next moment, scorching cone-shaped flames covered Charlotte Snake!
【Burning Hands】.
call!
The flames are raging.
The screams continued.
"Marple Poirot!"
"It's you again!"
"You're causing trouble again!"
"Do you think you will win?"
"You are still an accomplice in killing Archduke Graz!"
"The soldiers outside will arrive soon and you will die without a chance to survive!"
The other party let out the last howl of his life.
Goethe didn't pay attention to this at all. He had flames in one hand and a fist in the other.
Burning flames.
Punch hard with fists.
until--
"Cough, cough."
"I don't think so, Ms. Charlotte Snake."
Silik, who had been severely injured in the abdomen, managed to sit against the wall. Next to him, he drew a 'ritual' with blood. It was a very simple 'ritual'. It had no other effect than amplifying nearby sounds.
Simply put, it is a loudspeaker.
This was drawn quickly after the old consultant was injured, using his body as a cover.
When there is no hope of victory, the old advisor just hopes that more people will know the truth.
But now, it plays a key role.
"S-Silik, I, I will kill..."
Before Charlotte Snake finished speaking, she no longer breathed.
Goethe picked up the dagger in the opponent's hand and ran straight to the far corner——
The young man's body was lying there stiffly, his skin showing a gray-white color.
However, a strange creeping movement appeared under the gray skin.
