I rely on myself

Chapter 398: The Dark Man and the Counterattack
Just as Lin Yuan and others were discussing the attack, a similar situation occurred in another place in the city.

In a somewhat dark room, several figures were kneeling on one knee on the ground, with their heads bowed deeply in the same direction.

If Anna and the others saw this scene, they would recognize at a glance that these figures were the people who had ambushed and attacked them before.

At this moment, these people no longer had the high-spirited look they had during the previous attack, but instead gave people a look of fear.

"...That is to say, in this rare opportunity, not only did you fail, but you actually alarmed the target. Can I understand it this way?"

A calm voice uttered these words, but the moment they heard these seemingly calm words, the attackers who were kneeling on one knee trembled subconsciously, and it was obvious that they were very afraid of the owner of this voice.

No one dared to breathe, and the room suddenly became unusually quiet.

However, this situation only lasted for a while. With the emergence of this silence, an inexplicable pressure suddenly enveloped the room, and everyone kneeling on one knee could clearly feel it.

As the pressure became heavier, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore and started to defend himself: "Sir, I'm sorry, we didn't complete the mission, but please! Give us another chance. I promise, I will definitely catch those brats next time."

His words were spoken in a halting manner, and rather than determination, there was more fear in them.

After hearing the assurance from his men, the unknown pressure instantly dissipated. The attackers also felt their bodies relax the moment the pressure disappeared, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when these people thought that their superiors were going to forgive them for this failure, the superior's voice sounded again in the room.

"Guarantee? What can you guarantee? Obviously, the first time was the best chance for success, but in the end you failed. So you actually have the guts to guarantee me that you will succeed next time. On what basis?"

The further the voice spoke, the heavier its tone became, until anyone could hear the anger contained in it.

As he spoke these words, the owner of the voice revealed his true identity.

A man with dark green hair walked out from the direction where those people were kneeling.

The dark green hair not only did not give people a feeling of vitality because of the green color, but instead made people feel physically uncomfortable, like some kind of poison.

After the man with dark green hair came out, he did not make any other moves. He just looked at the subordinate who had made the promise with an extremely sharp gaze, wanting to know what kind of guarantee the other party could make.

Of course, that person couldn't make any useful guarantees. After all, what he said before was just to delay the situation temporarily.

Now facing the questioning of the dark green-haired man, the man's face suddenly became dull. He was anxious inside, but didn't know what to say.

Seeing that the subordinate had not responded for a long time, the man's eyes became more dangerous.

Looking at this scene, how could he not guess that the subordinate in front of him had no guarantees at all and was just trying to delay time, so he said those words before.

Thinking of this, the man's eyes suddenly turned cold, and his arms, which were originally placed vertically, swung like a whip in an instant, and the speed was so fast that it could not be caught up by the naked eye.

In just a moment, his arm stopped, and the difference from before was that he was holding a dagger in his palm. As if it was delayed, a scream rang out the next moment. "Ah ...

There seemed to be a lingering cold light like a crescent moon in the air, but it was fleeting. In contrast, the man who had previously promised that he would succeed next time but could not provide any guarantees had a huge wound on his chest.

The blood gushing out of it bloomed like a flower in the air.

Seeing this scene, how could the others not know what was going on? They all lowered their heads even further, almost touching the ground.

Looking at the subordinate who was covering his wound but couldn't stop the blood from flowing out, and who was breathing out more than breathing in, the man said without any change in his expression.

"Since we don't have enough manpower right now, I'll spare your life this time. But if you fail next time, I don't need to tell you what will happen to you."

After hearing these calm words, the man whose breath was already very weak trembled for a moment, and then said in a tone of surviving a disaster: "Yes, yes, I promise, I promise, next time, I won’t, I won’t fail…"

After hearing this answer, the man put away the dagger again and continued, "Very good, and I'm also talking to you... Now all of you, get out of here!"

"Yes!"xN
Hearing this, the man's subordinates all looked relieved, and they responded impatiently and left the room one after another. Of course, they did not forget to take the dying companion away for treatment.

As the subordinates left, the man disappeared into a shadow somewhere again, and the room returned to silence.

------------

Three days passed quickly after the attack. During these three days, just as Lin Yuan said, all members of the Eaton clan stayed in the stronghold and did not leave.

As time went by, Anna and the others gradually recovered. After all, they had not suffered any injuries in the first place, they were just mentally frightened, so of course they recovered quickly.

On the contrary, because they felt their own helplessness during this attack, they worked harder in the subsequent training.

In the long run, this incident is actually a good thing for them.

But even so, it doesn't mean that Lin Yuan will give up revenge.

During these three days, apart from accompanying other members of his clan in their daily lives, Lin Yuan spent all his time in the forging workshop, completely making a special weapon.

And now it has been completely completed.

Although it has only just been completed and has not yet been tested, the weapon has already begun to demonstrate its power.

Looking at the power of this weapon, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It's time."
