In the evening of the next day, a banquet was being held in the Feld family hall. Everyone gathered here to have a cocktail party, singing and dancing, and there was no sense of impending disaster.
Orlando was sitting in the middle. The reason why he created this atmosphere was that, firstly, this incident had caused an uproar in the entire Apple City. He wanted other families to see how powerful he was, and secondly, he wanted to alleviate the fear of his own people.
In fact, he attaches great importance to the security of his family. Just before the banquet started, he personally checked the security of the family and made sure that there were no problems before starting the reception.
After three rounds of drinking, these family members were all a bit tipsy and their mentality became more and more indulgent.
Eric said: "Grandpa, if you ask me to call those people's bluff, they are trying to scare our Field family. In fact, they don't dare to come at all."
"That's right, if that killer dares to come, I will immediately cut him into pieces and avenge my uncle." Marcus raised the wine glass in his hand and shouted passionately, "Come and drink to the strength of our Field family.
"
After he finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and the others also drank the wine in the glass with excitement.
At this moment, a look of pain suddenly flashed across Marcus's face, and then he let out a miserable howl, and then he fell to the ground on his back with bleeding from all his orifices.
"ah……"
When this happened, the entire reception was panicked, screams and screams broke out, and everyone was in panic.
"Shut up, everyone, and don't move."
Orlando was relatively calm at the critical moment and immediately issued the order.
Then the family masters around him jumped out one by one and sealed the scene.
After doing this, everyone present finally calmed down a bit.
Orlando immediately called the family doctor to check on Marcus' condition.
Two doctors in white coats carefully checked Marcus's physical condition, then checked his wine glass, and turned around and said: "Master, the young master died of poisoning."
"Poisoned?"
Orlando's expression suddenly became extremely solemn.
Others present were in panic and put down their wine glasses, fearing that they would also be poisoned.
"Stand there and don't move. Check everything for me. Make sure you determine where the poison came from?" Orlando immediately gave an order to his family's bodyguards. "The killer is probably still here with us. Give me a full report."
Search, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you still have to find him.
As a result, the entire scene became busy. Several doctors began to examine the food present, while the guards began to search inch by inch, looking for traces of the killer.
After two or three hours of hard work, the final result was that all other people's food was safe, except for toxins found in Marcus's wine glass.
At the same time, the guards all returned without success. Not to mention finding the killer, they didn't find even the slightest trace.
I checked all the surveillance videos in the family, which boasts a 360-degree electronic prevention and control system with no blind spots, but I didn’t see any sign of anyone entering.
The only gain was that on the pillar in the middle of the lobby, I found another note with a few words written on it, "Today's task is completed, come back tomorrow."
Everyone felt fear at this moment. First of all, this killer regarded the Field family's defense as if it were nothing. People would not be able to find it when they came here.
To put it bluntly, their defenses don't work at all.
In addition, the opponent's method was such that he only put poison in Marcus's wine glass, and nothing happened to the others, which shows how terrifying his method was.
This is simply to kill whoever you want, without causing harm to others. If you want to kill one, you will not let two of you die.
And the last note, after seeing it, people felt relieved at first, and then became nervous again.
Today's mission is completed, which means that the next few hours will be safe, but that is only for today, and one person will die tomorrow.
At this time, everyone was covered in the aura of terror, and some people even had the idea of escaping from the family manor.
Orlando glanced around with a stern expression: "I know what you are thinking, are you thinking of leaving here?
Let me tell you, no matter where you go, you will never have such a tight defense of the family. On the contrary, the other party will seize the opportunity to defeat you one by one.
What happened today should be just an accident. If we continue to strengthen protection tomorrow, this kind of thing should not happen again."
Although his words were categorical, they no longer had the determination of yesterday. While predicting the future, he could only use the word "should", which was not 100% certain.
Others thought about the same thing. Other places were definitely not as safe as the family's place, so they gave up the idea of leaving temporarily.
In the next period of time, Orlando not only had Marcus' body carried out for burial, but he also made every effort to arrange for family members to start investigating deficiencies in the defense and continue to look for clues.
At the same time, since the Brown family was stronger than the Field family, in addition to arranging thousands of gunmen to surround the manor, they also assigned each core member with a heaven-level master for personal protection.
Seeing that it was approaching midnight and nothing unusual happened, the members of the family slowly relaxed their nerves after having been tense all day.
Matthews, a third-generation descendant, said: "Grandpa, the other party is totally bluffing. I don't think I even have the courage to come."
Lampard, standing next to him, said: "Maybe our family came, but seeing such tight protection, we couldn't find any way to do it, and then we retreated.
It's no wonder, we are the Brown family. Unless the other party is a god, there will never be a chance to succeed..."
Just as he said this, a dazzling stream of light suddenly flashed across the hall, and then Lampard's voice suddenly stopped, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he fell to the ground with a plop.
"what happened?"
Everyone present was shocked. The master who was guarding him hurriedly came over to check, only to find a shining flying knife on Lampard's throat.
This knife was so fast that the heaven-level master guarding him couldn't help but gasped, and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
Such a sharp knife, not to mention that if it was shot at Lampard, he would not be able to rescue him in time, even if it was shot at him, he would not be able to dodge.
It can be seen from this that the other party is definitely a master, and his cultivation level is still higher than his own.
"Look, there are words on the flying knife."
With a roar, everyone looked up and saw a line of small words engraved on the handle of the knife, "The mission is completed today, continue tomorrow."
Everyone in the Brown family was also scared to death. No one thought that under such tight protection, the core members of the family would be assassinated by the other side.
"Don't panic, look for me quickly, the murderer shouldn't be far away yet."
At Kress's order, the entire Brown family moved into action, including thousands of gunmen outside, and sealed off the entire manor.
After checking for two or three hours, the result was the same as that of the Field family, not even a single figure was found.
As a result, everyone was enveloped in an atmosphere of extreme fear. Facing such a terrifying killer, no one knew who would die tomorrow.
