Chapter 2018: Murder, Arson, Eat Hot Pot

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Enemy attack! Put out the fire!”

Lear quickly came back to his senses. He rushed into the blazing room with his heavy sword, and used it to hit falling flaming wood away.

After the invisible force field disappeared, the guards at the general’s mansion realized that there was something amiss at this side of the mansion. They quickly rushed over with buckets of water and their weapons to put out the fire and save the general.

Not long later, Lear, with half his hair burnt, rushed out of the fire while carrying a body.

The guards all came up, and put out the fire on Lear. After that, they all looked at the general that was in Lear’s arms.

The big and burly General Blum was reduced to skin and bones. It was as though he was sucked dry. He had a horrified expression, as though he had seen something terrifying, causing his eyes to be wide open even till his death.

“Ah!”

Lear did not notice that as he was in a rush to save the general from the fire. When he finally saw the horrifying look of Blum in his arms, he got such a shock that he threw the body out.

“What?!”

“The great general is?!”

The guards all retreated quickly. When they saw the lifeless Blum, their expressions changed.

Lear quickly calmed down. He looked at Blum’s corpse with a grave expression, and said, “Put the fire out first and seal the place. Do not spread the news of this incident. I will report this to His Majesty right away.”

“Yes.” Although the guards were horrified, they quickly did what they had to to prevent the fire from spreading.

News of the murder at military generals’ houses had been spreading recently, and they did not expect to find themselves in the same situation today. Thankfully, Lord Lear was around, so they managed to survive.

Lear only hurried off to the palace after watching the guards cover Blum’s corpse with a sheet.

There were water-type magic casters among the guards, so the fire was under control very quickly.

“Did you hear anything just now?”

“I think I heard Lord Blum call out ‘Josh’…”

“I did too. On top of that, I even heard Lord Lear call him Prince Josh.”

“Could it be… that this was done by Prince Josh?”

The guards discussed the matter softly in fear and terror.

“Hush! Do not spread this around. Watch out for your heads!” a middle-aged guard chided coldly.

The expressions of the guards all changed, and they did not dare to speak further.

The fire at Great General Blum’s mansion was not a small matter. The residents living nearby saw it clearly for themselves. The thought of the murder case a few days ago made them even more paranoid.

“Shocked to death?” Mag turned to ask Irina a question after watching the distant fire being put out.

“Almost. He was knocked out from the shock, and then I used a blood-sucking bat to suck out all his blood essence. It looked almost like the corpse you saw previously.” Irina nodded. She looked at Mag’s torn clothes, and said, “You’re injured?”

“On purpose. How else could I let him see my true looks accidentally?” Mag was still wearing the mask with Josh’s face. He now took down the mask with a smile.

“Now, we’ll just have to see how Andre decides to settle this.” Irina smiled.

“Framing him using Josh’s method. I think he would be rather happy if he found out.”

The powerhouses nearby were quickly gathered due to the fire at Blum’s mansion. Some of them were 10th-tier knights and magic casters. When they arrived at the mansion, they were shocked to find out that Blum was dead, and when they saw his corpse, their expressions changed completely.

Such a horrifying death would inevitably make one connect it with the devil that had been terrorizing everyone.

Under the interrogation of the few big bosses, the guards even spilled out that Blum called out Josh’s name before he died.

The 10th-tier knights and great magic casters all exchanged looks. They could see the fear and horror in each others’ eyes, and did not probe further.

Due to the war, the Ministry of Defense had been in a chaotic situation in this period. There were rumors saying that Prince Josh stole the king’s military plaque, started a war on the orcs and elves on his own, and disappeared without a trace.

The more one knew, the more frightened one would be.

If Josh was the one who killed General Blum, he would most probably be the one responsible for the murders at the several other generals’ homes previously.

Murder and arson. It was the exact same method.

If it were not because of Lear today, the great general’s mansion would probably have been burnt to ashes.

Besides, there was almost no complete corpse left in the previous murder cases. Lear risked his life to carry Blum’s corpse out from the fire, but it was already in such a horrifying state. It was inevitable for one to associate it with the devil.

“Another fire? Could it be done by someone again?” Louis looked out at the blazing roof afar.

“It appears that there was a fight between powerhouses. Let’s check it out.” Douglas appeared beside Louis. He looked out at the fire with a grave expression before he took a step forward, and traveled 100 meters.

“Wait for me.” Louis followed behind quickly.

The fire at the general’s mansion made the entire situation at Rodu tense.

Meanwhile, the couple who committed the murder and arson were having hot pot with their two children after they returned home.

“Here, try this duck intestine.”

“The beef is done too. I’ll get it on my own.”

Mag smiled gently and spoke very gently like a benevolent father.

Food was piling up in Amy’s bowl, and she could not stop eating.

Irina was also chatting casually with Mag as she put food in Annie’s bowl in a similarly relaxed manner.

“Are you full? Do you want another serving of mutton roll?” Mag asked with a smile when he saw Amy finishing all the food in her bowl.

“It’s alright. Mother says that I should eat less before I sleep at night. Otherwise, I would become a little fatty.” Amy put her chopsticks down and shook her head obediently.

“Mm-hmm. Alright.” Mag nodded with a smile. Amy was indeed controlling herself tonight. She only ate as much food as three adults.

The two children could not sleep after having supper, so they played a while downstairs with Ugly Duckling. Mag went to the kitchen to continue experimenting on the mung bean pastry’s recipe.

Mag had now mastered many culinary techniques, but none of the desserts he made was good enough. The mung bean pastry was a good direction for him to work on.

Besides, he was quite curious about the system’s mysterious prize. Would it be more dessert recipes?

The two little fellows were quite fond of snacks, so they would definitely be happy if Mag could make them more delicious desserts.

The system included footnotes for Mag to know where exactly was the problem with each helping of mung bean pastry so that he could refine it.

“Father, I am very tired. Can we sleep now?” Amy rubbed her sleepy eyes as she peeked her little head into the kitchen.

“Ding! Congratulations on completing the mung bean pastry improvement mission! You have gained the title of elementary patissier! Awarding a big dessert gift package! Please accept your gift!”

The system’s voice rang in Mag’s mind almost simultaneously.
