I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 576: Viscount

Controlling all of Lai Yin’s heirs and then killing them at the right opportunity was originally part of Blood Queen’s plan.

But her plan couldn’t be so simple and crude; it must be like causing the death of the City Lord, either by poisoning or by creating various accidents, definitely not like now, with several heirs being assassinated at the same time;

Although Suravi sensed something wrong, he sent the City Lord Mansion guards to the side of each heir with inheritance rights, claiming it was for protection, but in reality, it was surveillance.

Once City Lord Lai Yin died, Blood Queen controlling the entire city as the City Lord’s wife would not be very reasonable. The best approach would be to support an heir, make them the City Lord, and gradually insert her own confidants. Once all the rights in the City of Sin were in her hands, it would no longer matter whether there was a City Lord.

However, no one expected Blood Queen to be so ruthless; after her conspiracy failed and she had to flee, she directly killed all of the City Lord’s heirs with inheritance rights, which was a blatant revenge on the City of Sin.

“City Lord, what’s wrong with you?” Suravi saw the City Lord fall backward and quickly stepped forward to support him while shouting, “Call for a doctor, get a doctor right away!”

…

Song Jian followed Anna and temporarily lived in the City Lord Mansion. No one knew whether Blood Queen would reappear and assassinate the City Lord. Although her actions of concocting Dragon Soul had already spread throughout the continent, and she must be in a desperate situation now, not even daring to go back to her own city, City of Blood. But with Blood Queen’s ruthless character, no one could guarantee that she wouldn’t return to City of Sin and assassinate City Lord Lai Yin.

If City Lord Lai Yin died and all the heirs with inheritance rights were also dead, then the City of Sin would definitely fall into chaos due to the struggle for the position of City Lord.

Suravi had just experienced a great battle, and although Anna had healed all his injuries, his mental fatigue could not be entirely eliminated. Instead of resting, he had to guard the City Lord due to the Lord’s sudden unconsciousness, just like the time when he was poisoned.

Anna, as a Life Priest, naturally had to stay by the City Lord’s side. As for Song Jian, he had no choice but to follow Anna because of the mission.

The third ring mission was considered complete, and his relationship with Anna had jumped from respect to reverence. However, the other reward was long overdue, which was the reason Song Jian had to follow Anna.

The permanent residency right in the City of Sin was still very attractive to Song Jian at the moment. This city was prosperous in development, not just a city of technology but also a city of trade. Most importantly, it had the most significant number of players Song Jian had ever seen. In such a city, he wouldn’t be surprised if any miracle happened.

To obtain permanent residency in this city, one must own a property in the city, just like Song Jian owning a 100% personal store in the City of Hymns, so he could apply for permanent residency with the municipal government.

The reward for successfully completing the third ring was to grant Song Jian permanent residency in this city, which meant that Song Jian would obtain a property in this city.

As for the type, size, and location of the property, Song Jian couldn’t control it; he had to wait for the City Lord to wake up.

Suravi had already ordered the City Lord Mansion guards, who had been sent out, to be summoned back. In fact, City Lord Lai Yin himself was a strong man not weaker than Suravi, but the death of all his heirs had dealt a massive blow to Lai Yin’s spirit. At his age, if he had no heir, it would be difficult for him to have another one in the future.

Blood Queen’s move had indeed struck Lai Yin’s weak spot.

Everyone stayed in the City Lord Mansion, waiting for Lai Yin to wake up.

One day passed quickly, and it wasn’t until the evening of the next day that Lai Yin slowly opened his eyes.

Suravi was very excited to see City Lord Lai Yin wake up, but when he saw Lai Yin’s lifeless eyes, his originally excited body suddenly slowed down;

“Lai, City Lord, what’s wrong with you?” Suravi carefully asked.

“Lai Yin, are all my bloodlines really cut off?” After a long time, Lai Yin asked softly.

Suravi was at a loss for words, as he had carefully examined the bodies of all Lai Yin’s heirs and preserved them in ice;

“Soladu, Haben, Ennis, and young Master Angrade, their bodies have all been preserved in the underground ice cellar, and you can check them at any time…” Suravi hesitated for a long time before whispering.

“Angrade was only eight years old, how could she do it!” Lai Yin suddenly roared with anger and a ferocious expression.

“Suravi, I want to issue a City Lord mobilization order, summon all the soldiers, and declare war on the City of Blood!” Lai Yin roared with a hateful face.

Suravi hesitated for a moment before saying softly, “Lai Yin, now is not the best time for revenge. While you were unconscious these months, many people have secretly pledged allegiance to the Blood Queen…”

Suravi stopped there. In the past, everything in the City of Sin was decided by Lai Yin, who had absolute power to control the city. But now, many people had betrayed Lai Yin. As soon as Lai Yin woke up, a purge was inevitable; otherwise, if a war with the City of Blood broke out, those who had already betrayed Lai Yin would push the City of Sin into a desperate situation.

Lai Yin fell silent for a moment, then looked up at Suravi and asked, “Who are they?”

Suravi saw the anger in Lai Yin’s eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, Lai Yin’s eyes were filled with deadness, and Suravi was afraid that he would give up and sink into despair from then on.

But seeing Lai Yin now, Suravi was relieved. Even if his heart was filled with rage, it was still a hundred times better than giving up and sinking.

The two talked in the room for a long time, orders were issued one by one from the room, until late at night, when Song Jian was suddenly woken up by a servant and brought to Lai Yin’s room.

“Greetings to City Lord!” Song Jian placed his right hand over his chest, saluting the half-lying City Lord Lai Yin.

In addition to Lai Yin in the room, there were also Suravi and Anna, both of whom smiled at Song Jian.

This time, saving Lai Yin could be considered Song Jian’s greatest achievement. Not only did he obtain the Goblet of Life from the Dark Castle, but his battle pet, Black Dragon, was also the first to detect that she had actually concocted Dragon Soul when Blood Queen freaked out. This discovery allowed Suravi to frighten Blood Queen away.

“Song Jian, I want to thank you for saving my life and the city of City of Sin!” Lai Yin nodded to Song Jian and slowly said, “To express my gratitude to you, I have decided to confer a nobility title upon you. From today on, you will be a Viscount of the City of Sin!”
