Reborn as a werewolf ancestor

In the dark cell, a figure wearing a black night suit was tied to a chair, while Kane and the other three stood in front of him, conducting interrogations.

Catherine put down the torture instrument in her hand and waited for Marcus to continue speaking.

"Let me think about which nobles in the northwest would hire assassins like you."

"Mortland? Oderland? Or Chaschiland?"

The above three kinds of territories are all closely related to the Ossos people. They are either the noble territories of Ossos or nobles who have close relations with the Ossos people.

While Marcus was speaking, the shadow lowered his head deeply, making his expression unclear.

Catherine, who couldn't watch from the sidelines, immediately grabbed the other person's short hair and pulled his head up.

"Didn't you hear Marcus Knight talking to you? Find out who you are, boy."

Obviously, the territory Marcus guessed had nothing to do with the other party. The black shadow looked at the three of them indifferently, and then glanced aside.

"You are tough, right? There are many ways to make you talk." Catherine impatiently raised the instrument of torture and was about to strike.

Suddenly, Kane, who was silently listening to the conversation of several people, said: "County of Manvido."

The black shadow's body paused, and his pupils expanded unconsciously. He didn't know why Kane guessed this place.

"As expected..."

After Kane thought for a moment, he said to the housekeeper Jace who appeared outside the cell at some point: "Jess, go check and find out who in Manvidor has a relationship with our family."

"Yes, sir."

After receiving the order, Jess immediately stood up and prepared to investigate.

"etc."

At this time, the black shadow that was motionless suddenly opened its mouth and said.

"Huh?" Kane turned to look at the other person, waiting for his next words.

"Give me a pleasure."

Kane shook his head: "It depends on whether the information you reveal is worth it."

"I, Bridget Bex, swear on the honor of the Bex family that from now on, everything I say is true and not a single falsehood."

After hearing this, everyone present stood in awe.

You may not believe that a nobleman swore with his life, but you must not disbelieve that he swore with his family reputation, because his life is worthless compared to his family reputation.

"I also invite Baron Kane and swear not to do anything to anyone in my family."

"Jolson, out of respect for the honor of the nobles, I can indeed make an oath, but you have to understand that if someone in your family wants to avenge you..."

Seemingly understanding what Kane said, the shadow explained: "Baron, please don't worry. Apart from me, the only remaining members of my family are the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. The only young person is my sister. Besides, what happened this time

I didn't tell them."

Kane nodded, then raised his left hand and swore: "I, Kane Gerrard, swear on the honor of the Gerrard family that I will not take action against the Bex family."

"Thank you, Baron Kane."

After thanking him, Qiao Ersen, who was also the shadow, took a deep breath and said: "Knight Commander of Fort Brunei."

"Knights of Fort Brunei?"

The Knights of Brunei Fort is an area under the Count of Manvido, and its previous owners have been the knight captains of the Counts of Manvido.

"Yes, the Baron should know who it is."

Kane frowned slightly: "Of course I know who it is, but I didn't expect it to be..."

"Everything is possible, Baron Kane."

Sighing, Kane said: "Catherine, give him a good time."

"Yes, Lord Kane." Putting down the torture instrument, Catherine took a dagger from Marcus.

"Do you have any last words?"

Upon hearing Catherine's question, Bridget suddenly straightened his back and sat up. He stared at Kane intently: "Baron, please keep your promise."

Kane also looked at the other party without fear: "Of course."

Immediately, Catherine grasped the dagger and quickly pierced the opponent's heart.

There was no struggle at all, blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth, as if he was asleep, Joelson closed his eyes tightly and stopped breathing.

"Jace, dispose of his body."

"Yes, sir."

"Marcus, Catherine, you've worked hard tonight, take a good rest, and we'll talk tomorrow."

"Yes, Lord Kane."

After giving instructions, Kane returned to the bedroom alone. Looking at the bonfire that was constantly burning in the fireplace, he sat aside and meditated silently.

............

early morning.

When the rising sun shines on the entire castle, the entire barony begins a new day.

The chefs are preparing the Baron's breakfast in the kitchen, the maids are cleaning the entire castle, the gardeners are pruning the flowers in the outdoor garden, and the soldiers have gathered together on the training ground to start morning exercises.

As for the owner of the castle, Kane, he was still sitting in front of the fireplace, silently thinking about something.

But soon, Kane was led to the dining table by his valet and started eating breakfast.

He was so worried that he did not do his usual morning exercises after breakfast, but stayed in the study, waiting for the arrival of Marcus and Catherine.

"Dong dong dong."

It looks like Marcus and Catherine are already outside.

"Come in."

"Lord Kane." The two people who entered the door first bowed to Kane.

"Sit down." Kane pointed to the seats in the room and motioned for the two of them to sit down.

After the two of them took their seats, Kane took the map from the desk and placed it in the center of everyone.

"What do you think about the Knights of Fort Brunei?"

After thinking for a moment, Marcus said carefully: "Sir, Fort Brunei has a strong military force, and its owner, Knight Horst, is still your uncle..."

Horst Gerard, Kane's biological uncle and the younger brother of the previous Baron Rachel Gerrard.

His experience was actually very similar to Marcus's. Both were entrusted by their father to comrades with titles, but the only difference was that the nobleman Horst was loyal to was a count.

Therefore, his extraordinary rank was promoted faster than Marcus, and the Earl also valued him very much. In less than ten years, he became the Knight Commander under the Earl.

Kane shook his head and said mockingly: "Yes, isn't he my amiable uncle? I have been deceived by him for so many years. I never thought that he would actually have an idea for our barony."

"However, it's right to think about it. After I, the current baron, dies, won't he be the next heir?"

"At that time, if he comes to find out the cause of my death, and then use this to introduce a scapegoat, he can naturally take over the entire baron."

After talking to himself for a long time, Kane realized that he had lost his temper. He looked at the two subordinates beside him who had stopped talking, and coughed softly: "Marcus, Catherine, don't worry about each other's identity.

When he decided to attack me, he was no longer my uncle."

"Yes, sir."

Immediately, Marcus looked at the knights on the map and said again: "Sir, as the knight commander under the earl, the opponent's military strength far exceeds that of other knights, and is basically the same as our barony."

"Furthermore, as far as I know, Knight Horst attaches great importance to cultivating soldiers, so his soldiers are very brave and good at fighting. If our soldiers fight against them, it will be a fierce battle. The most important thing is that Horst

The knight is a second-level first-level knight extraordinary, even if the three of us put together we can't beat each other."

Kane nodded. What Marcus said made sense. The three people on his side were all first-level transcendent beings. No matter how hard they tried, they could not defeat the second-level ones. This was a fact.

"So, Lord Kane, my suggestion is to be patient for the time being and wait until we have the strength before we fight the opponent in a duel."

"Crack!"

Catherine slammed her hand on the table.

"I object, my lord."
