Chapter 330 The Bennett Family, Sirius
Aurora Citadel, in a courtyard.
This was Alistair's home, the residence of the leader of the Five Great Marshals, Alistair.
Alistair had already returned to Aurora Citadel.
In the courtyard, inside a pavilion.
A middle-aged man in a black suit was talking to a young man in his twenties.
"Sirius, it's been years since we last met. I remember the last time I saw you, you were still in high school. What brings you here this time?"
The middle-aged man in the black suit was Alistair.
"Wystan, to be honest, our family received news that the box unearthed from Victor Veil's Tomb appeared in Sunset City and fell into the hands of Richard's descendants. Grandpa sent me out with two objectives: to retrieve the box and to kill Richard's descendants, eliminating the traitors within the family."
The young man in front of him spoke.
He was wearing a white shirt, looking handsome, speaking casually with a face full of confidence and composure.
Alistair was from the Powell Family, one of the Four Ancient Families.
His real name was Wystan Powell.
He looked at the young man in front of him and smiled, "You want to kill Larry? That won't be easy. You don't know his current achievements. He rose from an ordinary soldier to the commander of the Black Dragon Army. Although he has resigned, he possesses the Dragon Slayer Sword. With that sword in hand, no one in the Summer Nation can kill him."
The young man snorted coldly, "Who can stop the Bennett Family from eliminating traitors?"
"Of course."
Alistair smiled, "That may be so, but his current power is significant. The Bennett Family has always ignored these matters. Killing Larry might incite public anger. Moreover, I received news that Larry has already appeared in Aurora Citadel. If I'm not mistaken, he has obtained the box unearthed from Victor Veil's Tomb. He should know that the contents of the box can unlock the secret of the Artwork of Moonlit, which is why he came to Aurora Citadel."
He paused and continued, "He might think that the Bennett Family's downfall years ago was my doing and that the Artwork of Moonlit is in my hands. Little does he know that the Bennett Family's downfall ten years ago was merely the Bennett Family cleaning out their own traitors."
The young man glanced at Alistair and said, "You know quite a lot."
Alistair shrugged and said, "Larry has troubled me several times. Last time, he even barged into my home, demanding the whereabouts of the Artwork of Moonlit. So, I did some research and found out these things."
"I was just about to go find him. Since he's here, it saves me a trip to Sunset City," the young man said indifferently.
But a hint of gloom flashed in Alistair's eyes.
The four paintings guarded by the Four Great Families are closely related. Once the secret of the Artwork of Moonlit is unlocked, the secrets of the other paintings can be unlocked as well.
Larry had obtained the box.
And he had the key. Now he must already know what's inside the box.
He guessed that Larry would come to Aurora Citadel to find him and ask for the Artwork of Moonlit.
But the Artwork of Moonlit was never in his hands.
The Bennett Family's downfall ten years ago was caused by their own people.
The real Artwork of Moonlit had already been taken back by the Bennett Family.
Therefore, he secretly spread the news.
This news reached the Bennett Family, prompting them to send this young man to kill Larry and retrieve the box unearthed from Victor Veil's Tomb.
At this moment, a fully armed warrior approached, knelt on one knee, and said, "Alistair, Larry is here."
Alistair glanced at the young man opposite him and smiled, "See, he came quite quickly."
"Perfect timing, let him in."
The fully armed warrior looked at Alistair.
Alistair ordered, "Let him in."
"Okay." The warrior then left.
"Sirius, Larry is the strongest in the world. With your abilities, it might be a bit difficult to kill him, don't you think?" Alistair said with a smile.
He knew that Sirius couldn't kill Larry.
He orchestrated all this just to make the Bennett Family retrieve the box from Larry and unlock the secret of the Artwork of Moonlit.
As for Larry, it would be best if Sirius could kill him.
If not, he would just have to follow the plan.
Sirius smiled faintly and said, "This is a family matter of the Bennett Family, no need for you to worry."
Alistair smiled lightly and said no more.
Soon, a man and a woman walked in; it was Larry and Esmeralda.
Alistair immediately stood up, opened his arms, and went to hug Larry, "Larry, what a rare guest."
Larry, however, kicked out and said coldly, "Cut the crap, you know why I'm here."
Alistair quickly dodged the kick, took a few steps back, and asked with a puzzled look, "Larry, what do you mean? I really don't know why you're here."
"Are you Larry?"
A voice came.
Larry looked in the direction of the voice.
A young man in his twenties stood up, wearing a white shirt, looking at him with disdain.
Larry frowned, "And you are?"
Sirius scrutinized Larry for a while before saying faintly, "I am Sirius."
Larry frowned, who is this now?
Alistair smiled and introduced, "Larry, let me introduce you. This is Sirius Bennett, from the Bennett Family, one of the Four Great Families. Strictly speaking, he is your cousin."
Sirius said coldly, "Thirty years ago, Richard stole the family's treasure map. He was expelled from the family long ago. He is a traitor of the Bennett Family and deserves to die. You are Richard's descendant, a traitor, and you deserve to die too."
"The treasure box unearthed from Victor Veil's Tomb is in your hands? Hand over the box, and I'll leave you a whole corpse."
Sirius was very arrogant.
He didn't take Larry seriously at all.
Alistair smiled and asked, "Larry, you came to me thinking the Artwork of Moonlit was in my hands, right? Actually, ten years ago, the Bennett Family was destroyed by their own people, and the Artwork of Moonlit was taken back by the Bennett Family. If you want the Artwork of Moonlit, you have to ask Sirius."
"Is that so?"
Larry's expression showed a hint of shock.
He knew the Artwork of Moonlit had fallen into the hands of a big shot in Aurora Citadel and always thought it was Alistair.
Because recently, Alistair had been very active, and everything seemed to be related to him.
He didn't expect that the Bennett Family was destroyed by their own people.
His gaze stayed on Sirius.
Sirius walked step by step towards him.
A very special aura rose from him.
Even Larry was shocked by this aura.
"Traitor, kneel."
He came in front of Larry, raised his palm, and pressed it down on Larry's shoulder, trying to make him kneel.
Larry raised his hand to block.
At this moment, he felt a great pressure on his arm, his knee slightly bent, showing signs of kneeling.
He was very shocked.
This Sirius looked only in his twenties but had such strong power.
This person's strength was no less than that of the famous assassins on the hit list.
His face darkened, he suddenly raised his hand, and quickly struck, punching Sirius in the chest.
Sirius didn't expect Larry's strength to be so strong.
He quickly withdrew his hand to block the punch.
Their fists collided.
Sirius's body was shaken back several feet.
His fist was in great pain, and he couldn't lift his arm. He looked at Larry with a serious and gloomy expression.
Larry retracted his fist and said coldly, "Since the Artwork of Moonlit is in your hands, hand it over."
