Chapter 335 - 110: Trust or Not
Marquis Alk was previously the tenth marquis of the Empire, known for being the youngest and shortest-tenured marquis, as well as the grandfather of Knight Girl Alisa.
The news proclaimed by the Empire Family to the public is that he went missing after exploring the Life Forbidden Zone.
However, according to the private intelligence sources of these marquises, Marquis Alk wasn’t actively exploring the Life Forbidden Zone, but rather, he was forced into it with no escape after being pursued by a powerful adversary.
You should know that even the weakest marquis of the Empire is a Ninth Rank Powerholder who has mastered the rules. A ’Mysterious Powerholder’ powerful enough to chase down Marquis Alk is likewise powerful enough to chase them down.
As for the true identity of this ’Mysterious Powerholder,’ the many marquises have long speculated internally, but no one dares to voice it out loud.
The situation he currently faces involves a very delicate issue: in the face of relic benefits, are the Four Great Families trustworthy?
Marquis Winter has thought about probing the intentions of the Four Great Families to see what they truly think.
But after some deliberation, he eventually gave up on that option.
According to the secret information he obtained at a great cost from a High-Level Prophet, this time, the secret hidden within the relic is related to surpassing the Ninth Rank Limit!
The authenticity of this piece of news has been verified through special magic and is indeed true.
And if he could obtain this message, then the Four Great Families and the Empire Family, whose power far exceeds his own, must have also received this message.
