Coiling Dragon, I am different and detached
Chapter 48 Betrayal
"Cole, come to the practice room to see me!"
Just as Cole was imagining the future in his heart, the voice of his elder brother Locke suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Hmm?"
Cole looked up suddenly.
What happened?
Ten years ago, didn't his elder brother come out of retreat and tell him that he would practice in retreat for a long time?
So it's only been ten years, and he woke up?
Moreover, he asked me to go to the practice room to see him!
This is completely different from his reaction when he came out of retreat several times before.
Although there are many puzzles in his heart, Cole dare not neglect his elder brother's call.
After tidying up his clothes, he rushed to Locke's practice room.
...
"Brother."
Pushing open the door of the practice room and entering the practice room, Cole came to Locke who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the practice room.
"Well, Cole, you are here, sit down."
Opening his eyes, Locke stretched out his hand and flicked it, and suddenly, a puff of dust was raised on the ground in front of Locke, making the ground in front of Locke as smooth as a mirror.
Cole frowned slightly, and finally sat cross-legged opposite Locke.
"Brother, you called me here, is there something?"
"Yes."
Locke nodded, and asked Cole directly without playing dumb with him.
"Cole, what did you do in Locke Territory?"
Cole's heart jumped, but he quickly stabilized his mentality.
"Ah? Brother, what are you talking about? I didn't do anything?"
"I didn't do anything?"
Locke looked at Cole deeply.
"Just now, His Majesty Ceres sent me a message directly through his spiritual consciousness, asking me if I had rebelled..."
"What?"
Hearing Locke's words, Cole was startled and jumped up from the ground, with a look of fear in his eyes.
He never thought that he had not found a person with a pure soul who could make him a sanctuary, and what happened in Locke Territory had actually been reported to His Majesty Ceres of the Frost and Snow Empire.
The matter has been exposed, so how will his brother treat him?
Will he kill himself?
Cole doesn't want to die!
So, Cole instantly knelt down in front of Locke and burst into tears.
"Brother, this, these are all Viscount Cross and Viscount Marek who threatened me to do this."
"Viscount Cross and Viscount Marek are all level nine peak warriors, their strength far exceeds mine. They threatened me that if I don't obey their orders, they will kill me..."
"They also joined forces with Viscount Gasco, Viscount Berkeley, and Viscount Dale to monopolize the economy of Locke Territory..."
"They, they also threatened me that as long as I reveal a little information to you, brother, they will kill my wife, children, and grandchildren."
At this moment, in order to survive, Cole directly sold all five viscounts of Locke Territory.
There was no way, Cole had already learned from Locke that his high-profile search for people with pure souls throughout Locke Territory had been exposed, and it also attracted the attention of His Majesty Ceres of the Frost and Snow Empire.
In this situation, Cole knew that only his elder brother could save his life.
Locke sighed slightly.
If he hadn't seen Cross and Marek respect Cole so much during the previous retreat, Locke might have believed Cole's words without a doubt.
If Locke hadn't made a breakthrough in his spiritual attainments during the last retreat and couldn't sense Cole's emotions, he would still have regarded Cole as his dearest brother in the world.
But...
There is no if!
"Ah..."
He sighed slightly and stood up from the ground.
"Cole, I once promised my parents at their graves that as long as I stay in Wakanda, I will guarantee you wealth and glory for a day."
"I remember that your son is already over 130 years old this year, right?"
"From today on, let your son take over Locke!"
"And you, without my order, are not allowed to leave the mansion in Locke City!"
"Yes, yes, brother, don't worry, I will stay in the mansion and won't run around!"
Although Cole felt that he was deprived of the right to manage Locke, he also knew that Locke had such a big thing, and only in this way could he save his life.
Moreover, Cole also had his own plans in mind.
Although he could not control Locke openly, it was his son who took over the management of Locke.
If he needed anything, was he still afraid that the boy would not do it for him?
After a few years, when the troubles he had caused were over, it was not impossible for his son to return the management of Locke to him.
Naturally, Locke sensed all of Cole's emotional changes.
However, Locke was now completely disappointed with Cole.
If Locke had considered Cole his own brother before because of his parents, now Locke only considered Cole's lineage as "relatives".
"Relatives" and "relatives" are two different feelings.
Locke can give unconditionally to his relatives, just hoping that they can live a better life.
As for "relatives", all their efforts must be rewarded.
...
Although Locke has never managed Locke Territory for a day, this does not prevent Locke's will from running in Locke Territory.
Even the five viscounts who have been loyal to Locke and rooted in Locke Territory for nearly a hundred years cannot stop Locke from dividing the tyrants in the face of Locke's will.
Viscount Cross and Viscount Marek, both of whom belong to the "central nobles" of Locke Territory, basically did not resist and were directly wiped out.
The other three viscounts in Locke Territory, after knowing that Cross and Marek were arrested, directly abandoned their own territories and led their families to flee to the Temple of Light.
"Damn it!"
In the dark forest, Gaske slapped a tree in front of him and made it explode, venting his anger.
That guy Cole actually betrayed them all, saying that everything was instigated by them to threaten him, so he had to pass that condition.
Otherwise, with their secretive actions, how could anyone find evidence?
This was the first time that Gaske had been treated like this in more than four hundred years.
If Cole was in front of him now, Gaske would probably not be afraid of Locke and would directly kill Cole with a sword.
He had wanted to give the person with a pure soul that he had found to Cole.
"Don't be angry, Brother Gaske."
Dal comforted Gaske on the side: "It's fortunate that Lord Locke didn't personally hunt us down, otherwise, we would not be able to escape from Locke Territory."
After hearing what Dale said, Gaske and Berkeley fell silent.
Indeed, it was because Lord Locke didn't personally hunt them down that they were able to escape from Locke Territory safely.
