Upon hearing this, Elvis looked at the person in front of him with a casual and languid demeanor, and the old grudges from his time in the Water City of Hifel instantly surged into his heart, making his resentful eyes bloodshot.
If it weren't for Shiloh, everything about him would remain as noble as ever: the son-in-law of the Wayne family, the heir of the Zorc family, a top student at the magic academy...
But it's all because of him!
Since the incident in the city of Hifiel, his scandal has spread among the nobles of the capital, and many people have been openly or secretly mocking him.
All of this is because of this bastard in front of me!!
Seeing Elvis's murderous gaze, Shiloh narrowed his eyes, thinking that he should find an opportunity to kill this wild dog.
However, there are more important things to do now, so let's let him live a little longer.
So Shiloh ignored Elvis, straightened his clothes, gave a gentle smile, and walked past him.
Elvis frowned, and a mocking smile suddenly appeared on his face.
In his view, Shiloh clearly felt that he had developed some acquaintance with Aria in the city of Hifiel, which is why he wanted to get closer to her.
Hehehe, but unfortunately, people like you are the kind of people that Aria hates the most!
As a member of the Church of Tranquility, Arya loves things as pure as moonlight.
Someone like you who has relationships with multiple women will only disgust her—what?!
Before Elvis could finish the rapid stream of sarcastic thoughts in his mind, he was shocked to see that the maid who had just been blocking him with her sword lowered her blade as Shilo approached.
Furthermore, after Shiloh passed by, they quickly raised their iron swords again, practically wearing their wariness of Elvis on their faces.
The blatant discrimination, coupled with the fact that he, as the fiancé of the Wayne family, was the one being targeted, made Elvis so angry he felt like vomiting blood.
"Sillo~!"
However, before Elvis could angrily question her, he heard Arya call out the name he resented in a joyful voice he had never heard before.
The next moment, when Arya threw herself into Shiloh's arms like a swallow returning to its nest, Elvis's brain felt like it exploded.
A buzzing sound filled the air; nothing could be heard except the silhouettes of the two people embracing.
Elvis felt that this moment had lasted a very long time, as if time had stopped.
What followed was an uncontrollable jealousy and murderous intent!
"Go...die!!!"
At that moment, a strange, pale pink light flashed in Elvis's eyes. He briefly lost all reason and unleashed an ice spike at Shiloh's back, which transformed into a swift arrow that flew forward!
Bash——
Bang!
Undoubtedly, Elvis's attacks were far too boring for Silo, so boring that he was too lazy to even move. He simply raised a finger and released gravity magic that suppressed Elvis and his ice spikes.
Chapter 131 Casting and Baiting
"Cough—! How, how is this possible—?! I am the heir of the Zorc family, how could I be defeated by a piece of trash like you—!!!"
Elvis's memory of Shiloh's power was still from before he regained his supernatural circuits.
However, in such a short period of time, Shiloh inexplicably improved his strength so much that he could crush him with just a flick of his finger. This huge disparity drove Elvis almost to madness.
Seeing Elvis's frenzied attempt to unleash magic even while pinned to the ground, Shiloh frowned slightly and exchanged a glance with Arya.
"Something's not right, there's something there..."
At this moment, a faint moonlight veiled Aria's pale golden eyes. With the blessing of her prayer, she clearly saw a strange pink aura swirling around Elvis, and this aura was spreading towards his heart.
After confirming with Arya, Shiloh smiled slightly and summoned a blood-red thorn from the grass, instantly piercing Elvis's abdomen and tearing his extraordinary circuits to shreds.
"Ugh—!!!"
The intense pain and the rapid loss of his extraordinary energy caused Elvis's pupils to constrict, and he screamed in despair.
Elvis looked terrified and kept reaching forward, as if trying to salvage the dissipated extraordinary energy, but in the end he could only watch helplessly as the energy he had painstakingly cultivated disappeared into the world.
No...no!!!
At that moment, Elvis knew his life was over.
The noisy shouting made those around frown. Shiloh casually waved his hand, used a burst of energy to knock Elvis unconscious, and then used healing magic to quickly restore his wounds.
This wasn't because Shiro was being kind; it was to lure out the big fish behind the other party.
While Elvis may be a fool, he's not so foolish as to lose his temper and kill himself in public.
After confirming with Arya, Shiloh also realized that Arya's mind had been manipulated in some secret way.
This method is somewhat similar to the spells used in the border city of Clorenza, but not entirely the same... No, it should be said that it is more like a superior alternative to that black magic.
Based on all the clues, it's hard for Shiloh not to connect this matter with the mastermind he's been investigating.
After all, mind manipulation is one of Slaanesh's specialties.
The open assassination of the Wells family heir has already touched upon serious political issues. To put it bluntly, if Shiloh really wants to take this to heart, the Wayne family will also face considerable turmoil.
However, considering that his father-in-law's attitude was relatively acceptable and not too stubborn, Shiloh did not intend to rip off the Wayne family.
However, after this incident, Arya was finally able to completely extricate herself and leave with him.
As for the reasons, all possible outcomes following this attack can serve as reasons.
"Take him down!"
The maids and knights nearby reacted and quickly stepped forward to restrain Elvis.
At the same time, the head maid, her heart pounding, walked up to Xiluo, knelt on one knee before him, and cried out, "We failed in our duty as guards and deserve to die!"
This statement is not an exaggeration at all. It's one thing that Shiloh solved the problem on her own, but it's another thing that they failed to protect their distinguished guest.
Fortunately, nothing bad happened to Shiloh, otherwise they would have been doomed too.
Shiloh waved his hand, signaling the head maid to get up, then looked thoughtfully at the unconscious Elvis.
The thorn that turned Elvis into a cripple actually saved his life.
The pink energy that spreads towards the heart operates by relying on the extraordinary energy circuits within the body.
Once it touches the heart, it will instantly ignite heart fire, leading to death.
After shattering Elvis's extraordinary circuits, Shiloh blocked the flow of energy. At the same time, he also planted a very secret contingency plan within Elvis's body—those tiny thorns.
These unassuming little gadgets are actually extremely important bait.
Elvis is definitely going to be locked up in jail now.
Therefore, in order to prevent him from revealing more information, the force behind the scenes would inevitably send someone to kill him.
At that time, these little guys will come in handy...
Xi Luo hid her smile, looking forward to that day.
"Little Shiloh...may I call you that?"
A soft, melodious voice came from behind, causing Xiluo to turn around.
The newcomer was a gentle and mature woman with long, flowing flaxen hair. If you looked closely at her eyes and brows, you could vaguely make out Arya's features.
With just these words, Shiloh knew the identity of the visitor, so he immediately released Aria, then respectfully performed a noble bow and said softly, "Of course, Mother-in-law."
Shiloh's words stunned both Aria and Aislie. Then, a bright blush instantly rose on the girl's fair face, and her small hands clasped together in front of her.
But Aisley, being an experienced woman with life experience, quickly recovered from her initial surprise and smiled gently, saying, "Hehe~ You're quite the funny child. No wonder little Aria thinks about you day and night."
"Oh dear, Mom!"
Arya's secret feelings for Silo were exposed. Despite having consummated her marriage with Shilo, the shy Arya was still unbearably embarrassed. She lightly stomped her foot and said coquettishly.
Silo blinked. It was the first time he had ever seen Arya act so coquettishly, and the curve of his lips softened considerably.
He reached out and gently patted Aria's soft little head.
Looking into the girl's bright, pale golden eyes, Xi Luo said softly, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Arya met Shiloh's gaze, shook her head, and gave him a bright smile. Then she gently raised her hand and hugged him.
Looking at the tender young couple, Aisley's maternal smile grew even wider.
"Before that, please allow me, as the wife of the head of the Wayne family, to express my apologies to you."
Aisley clapped her hands and then bowed.
"We will give you an explanation regarding Elvis's matter shortly. Until then, could you please stay in little Aria's room for a while?"
Seeing the apologetic smile on Aisley's face, Shiloh nodded and agreed.
"I am extremely grateful."
Aisley bowed again, then beckoned to the maid knight beside her before getting into her carriage and leaving.
Chapter 132 The comical monkeys should dance and then kill each other (5k)
Watching his mother-in-law walk away, Xi Luo hugged Aria in his arms and said, "I think those rats who plotted against us behind the scenes will soon be unable to hide any longer."
In Arya's boudoir, Shiloh naturally spent some time being intimate with the girl he hadn't seen in a long time.
Although it would take some time to process, the Wayne family was very efficient at handling the incident, and it was over in just over ten minutes.
Shiloh refused their compensation and simply abducted Arya.
As she watched Shiloh and Arya walk away hand in hand, Aisley's expression softened, but Kahn's face didn't look so good.
Aisley blinked at her husband's expression, then smiled and teased, "Now you know how my father felt back then, right?"
Mentioning this, Kahn looked somewhat embarrassed, coughed twice, and muttered, "How can you generalize like that? I'm not like that brat Shiloh..."
Ignoring her husband's "resentment" towards their son-in-law, Aisley stretched lazily and laughed, "Anyway, little Shilo is a good boy, and Arya will definitely be happy with him. But shouldn't it be time to clear away all the noise in the family?"
"Yes, coincidentally, what happened this time can be used as a good knife..."
At this point, Kahn paused for a moment, then his eyes became somewhat fixed.
Kahn's rise to power was legitimate, but it was somewhat hasty.
His father, the previous head of the Wayne family, suddenly passed away, so when he inherited the position of Grand Duke of Finance, he did not have much real power.
When Kahn pursued Aisley, it was certainly because he liked her as a person, but part of the reason was also to gain the support of her family.
With the support of the Aisley family and some elders in the clan, Kahn's position gradually stabilized, and he has been reclaiming his rightful power over the years.
Kahn had mixed feelings about his uncles and aunts.
Although they helped him a long time ago, he has never treated them unfairly over the years.
Even so, human greed still drives them to reach out to places they shouldn't...
As for himself, he had long intended to carry out a purge within the family, but he had not yet taken action because he did not have a suitable reason.
But this time, after Shiloh arrived, Kahn was immediately handed two knives.
One was about Crowe's unauthorized involvement in the illegal slave trade, and the other was about the eldest son of the Zorc family's plot to murder the heir of the Wells family.
Is it really such a coincidence?
As a seasoned cunning man, Kahn was already suspicious, and now that this idea had come to mind, he couldn't take it back.
What if all of this was orchestrated by Shiloh behind the scenes?
hiss--
Kahn suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, thinking that if that were really the case, then this young man was quite terrifying.
What are you thinking about?
Aisley poked Kahn on the back and asked.
"nothing."
Kahn shook his head, dismissing these speculations from his mind. After all, they were just speculations, and it wouldn't be good to say them out loud.
Even if Shiloh had some ulterior motives, Elvis's situation was probably just a coincidence.
But just as Kahn was pondering this, his arm was suddenly enveloped by something soft. The familiar touch sent a shiver through him, and he glanced at his wife beside him.
"Why are you looking at me? Little Aria has found her home, and I doubt she'll be coming back more often."
Upon hearing this, a hint of panic appeared on Kahn's usually calm and composed face, but he still tried to remain calm and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
"Elbow, come inside!"
