Chapter 229: Falling out

Byrne's eyes were colder than ever, staring at the crazy old man in the white mist.

He slowly retreated, keeping a distance that was both attacking and defensive.

The gray-haired man was very alert, always on guard, observing the surrounding environment almost without blind spots.

Viscount Best's blood power was "Bronze Lion", which was much better at close combat than himself, so he had to keep enough distance.

The deputy leader of the group of believers in the Star Embracing Society also kept his distance, with a puzzled voice in his mouth.

"Huh? Internal strife?"

The three people were in a triangle posture in the extremely low visibility and diffuse white fog.

Any reckless action by either party would lead to a huge change in the situation on the field.

Viscount Best laughed loudly, with a cold face, looking towards Byrne and said slowly:

"You betrayed me, Byrne, I knew you would betray me!"

His facial muscles twisted, and he roared angrily:

"What a damn idiot, I trusted you for so long! Byrne! Aren't you loyal? How dare you stab me in the back?"

Byrne's stand-in was still not far from Viscount Best, and Viscount Best ignored its existence, knowing that it was not a big threat.

And because it was within sight, it made him feel more at ease.

The stand-in, who was exactly the same as Byrne, had cold eyes and spoke very calmly, but what he said was very huge.

"You were the one who opened the barrier and helped the Meyer family invade Nasir Town!"

As soon as the stand-in said this, the madness in Viscount Best's eyes disappeared completely, and his expression immediately became extremely calm.

"Ah, it seems that you are really too stupid, Byrne, to think so... I have said that it was Xavier who stole the spell and helped the Meyer family. Didn't you also find his diary?"

Viscount Best paused, smiled, and said in a gentle tone: "Byrne, could it be that Black Hawk Xavier left something behind and made you misunderstand?"

He slowly stretched out his hand to the position of Byrne's body, and said thoughtfully: "It doesn't matter, I can forgive your stupidity, Byrne, come and help me."

However, Byrne did not move closer, but continued to speak.

"The diary left by Black Hawk Xavier was also forged by you in advance, Best, in order to mislead me, you specifically gave me the task of finding Xavier's so-called back-up."

"If you tell me directly that everything was done by Xavier, I will definitely be suspicious, but if I find the diary myself, it will be completely different, because anyone will believe more in the 'truth' they find with their own hands."

Viscount Best's eyes gradually became cold.

In fact, Byrne had been deceived, and even really thought that the person who stole the spell, briefly opened the great barrier, colluded with the Meyer family, and let them invade Nasir Town was Black Hawk Xavier.

But one day, he cautiously wanted to test whether the letter was a forgery, so he analyzed "Xavier's diary" through the "deconstruction perspective".

Through the power of deconstruction perspective, Byrne found a strange thing, that is, the ink on the diary is actually the type commonly used by local nobles in Fein, rather than the specialty ink produced in Phipps Port.

But that's not a big deal, maybe Xavier just used this ink.

But to be on the safe side, he then compared the handwriting in the diary, but soon found more things wrong.

Although the handwriting has been disguised very well, and it is 90% similar to Xavier's own handwriting, it is still wrong. Only Byrne, who has a "deep memory", can detect the difference of that 10%.

Best's tone became very cold, without any emotion, like a demon disguised as a human.

"You are really a dog that can't be tamed, Byrne."

Byrne took a deep breath, shook his head slowly and said, "I have been hesitating all the time, until... you sent someone to infiltrate the Fisher family."

Viscount Best laughed coldly and said:

"Yes, that was Renzo's opinion. Can't I be vigilant against you heretics?"

Byrne remained silent and did not answer immediately. Sure enough, he was right. Although the man did not know everything, he had guessed the most important secret of the Fisher family that could not be revealed through the splicing of clues.

So he couldn't let him go!

"Heretics, I didn't expect that your Fisher family looks like the people of stupid false gods, but actually believes in a hypocritical existence..."

On the other side, the deputy leader of the Star Embracing Society muttered to himself. He didn't expect that the Fisher family actually believed in a hypocritical existence.

But he knew very well that anyone who did not believe in the Chaos Star was undoubtedly a stupid person who had not yet understood the truth of the world.

There was a chilling determination in Best's eyes. Renzo once said that no matter how good his relationship with Byrne was, their descendants might not be the same.

So he followed Renzo's advice and used his most common method to infiltrate the Fisher family by placing trained subordinates disguised as orphans, merchants, and servants.

Soon, Viscount Best gradually discovered some strange clues that were enough to destroy them.

He is very smart and has long discovered that something is very wrong with the Fisher family. For example, the fate of everyone in their entire family will actually change.

Combining various events in the past, Viscount Best gradually came up with a conjecture that was closer to the truth deep in his heart.

Then, the subordinates he sent died one after another.

Viscount Best once wondered if Byrne had discovered that he was testing them and would decide to fall out with him.

So not long ago, he directed and acted in a play, pretending that the devil was backlashing him, causing him great pain and no defense.

In fact, as long as Viscount Best's demons are fed the corpses of extraordinary beings immediately, they will not riot or bite back at all.

At that time, he deliberately pretended to be weak and put on a show. However, Byrne always tried his best and had no intention of murdering him, which made Best feel relieved again.

In addition, Byrne later took the initiative to say that he had discovered the forged Xavier diary and fully believed in his inducement, so he trusted this man again.

"I didn't expect you to be smarter and better at pretending than before, Byrne!"

He laughed heartily and continued:

"Renzo is right. Loyalty is not eternal. So what if you can be loyal to me temporarily? Your descendants and your family may not necessarily be loyal to the Lion family!"

“And you are also a traitor yourself! Byrne, you actually colluded with people from the Star Supporting Association, huh, so in order to kill me, you don’t care about Zain’s life, right?”

Byrne remained silent and did not answer.

He was not the one who attracted the followers of the Star Holding Society at all.

He took a deep breath again. Ever since he discovered that Xavier's diary was forged, he had actually fallen into great uneasiness and confusion.

In fact, based on the analysis of the diary that Viscount Best induced him to find, Byrne had already realized that the person who colluded with the Meyer family was probably the old man.

But he didn't want to believe it, so he asked Chris to carefully investigate the truth of the whole matter.

In fact, the investigation is not difficult, because the scope is very small. The only people who mastered the Zhenguo Great Barrier Spell were Count Huo Wen and Viscount Best.

Now that Count Hoven is dead, the final direction of investigation is...

As a result, Chris brings the truth back.

It is true that a caravan of the Meyer family secretly arrived in Fein City decades ago, and Viscount Bester had no news for a whole month after that, and he did not know where he went.

Thinking about it now, he probably went to Rhea and then made some kind of deal with the Meyer family.

So it became obvious that Viscount Best later kept his oath and helped Meyer invade Nasir Town.

"I've been in pain recently because you colluded with the Meyer family, which did indirectly lead to the death of my father, but then the Fisher family did rise because of your help."

There was the most sincere emotion in Byrne's eyes, which was complicated, tangled, and difficult to explain clearly.

"Gratitude and hatred, I can't abandon either of them... But your recent behavior has made me finally make up my mind, Best Rhine, since you have touched the core secret of the Fisher family, I can't No more hesitation!”

Best's eyes were calm, but there seemed to be waves of anger in the calm, which shocked countless people.

"Whether it's you, Jin, or certain people, you betrayed me one after another."

"Yet I am not afraid of betrayal at all, because I am alone from beginning to end."

He waved the giant sword in his hand, and his words were filled with the most terrifying malice. Although his tone was very calm, sweat still appeared on Byrne's forehead.

"Don't worry, Byrne. After you die, I will successfully reach the monarch level, and I will end all the grudges between us."

The silent cultists of the Star Supporting Society who were hiding suddenly turned into black smoke and approached for a sneak attack. The speed was astonishing, and the originally crazy Viscount Best instantly became extremely calm.

He was well prepared and suddenly swung the sword blade, and the next moment a terrifying sword energy erupted, cutting the black smoke directly with astonishing power and precision.

"ah!"

The adherents of the Star Supporting Society shouted in horror, and half of their bodies fell to the ground. After struggling for a while, they died completely.

In just an instant, Best easily killed the powerful enemy who had become superior!

Byrne stared at this scene quietly, his eyes cold, maintaining the highest vigilance.

The old lion suddenly turned his head and looked coldly at Byrne, who summoned a large number of flame birds. His eyes were sharp, crazy, and cold, as if to say, you are next!
