The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor
Chapter 1340

Not long after they had left, a few contestants from the Norman family arrived at the scene of the battle.

All of their expressions darkened when they saw the bodies.

"Crap. All three young masters are dead. What-what do we do?

One of the men, who were at the beginning stage of the true god realm, furrowed his brows. "Young Master Keith and Young Master Joshua, especially, were the best candidates to become the house heir, and they're the strongest geniuses from our family. We'U probably lose this competition now that they're dead!"

Another man was delighted instead. At this moment, he gave a wicked smile. "It is

indeed a great loss, but now that our master's three sons are dead, it means that we have hope to assume the position of house heir."

The man at the beginning stage of the true god status from earlier was delighted when he heard the news. The three geniuses were dead. Now their cultivation level was among the strongest within the pool of geniuses. They all had hoped to become the house head in the future.

However, he quickly tamped down on their glee. He declared to everyone, "Who knows the culprit who killed the three young masters from our family? It's too cruel!"

"There are four members from the Lagorio family here as well. No way that they did it. The Lagorio family doesn't have powerful fighters. Besides, judging from their positions, their opponent must have been standing before them. So the people from the Lagorio family and our family must have been facing their opponent head-on. But they were no match, and so they were killed!"

A girl assessed the situation and made a deduction: "More importantly, look at the terror in their eyes. It's a sign that their opponent must have been too powerful. Our First Young Master did not even have a chance to escape!"

"That's right. If that's the case, I think that there must have been more than one person behind this. The possibility of someone being able to take on eight

martial artists at the same time and not allow a single one to escape is too slim!"

The man at the beginning stage of the true god status from earlier bobbed his head. "If anyone can do it, it must be someone at the

advanced stage of the true god status, and someone who is able to go toe to toe with a fighter at the peak of the true god status. First Young Master Hunt, for instance, as well as those scary geniuses from the Zachary family and the Ximenes family!"

The girl nodded her head. "I still think that nobody can do this alone," she insisted. "It must have been an alliance of two or three people who could kill them all without letting a single one escape!" "Mmhmm. We can only make guesses for now. Heh. The culprit or culprits have already left, so we won't know what happened. Besides, we have no way around it even if we know that it was the First Young Master Hunt and the others who did it. The rules of this competition were that we could kill anyone throughout this month."

The man gave a bitter smile and declared to everyone, "Let's try to keep our heads low. We've lost four of our men today, and we don't even have a fighter at the intermediate stage of the true god status among our ranks. We shouldn't venture too deep into the forest. Instead, we'll stay out here and try to find as many plaques as we can only to keep ourselves from losing too badly. How about that?" "Just around here?"

The girl frowned. "If we don't go into the depths of the forest and the mountain, it's likely that we'll lose to second-class families. It'll be too embarrassing if we lose to them-or even third-class families!" The man's face darkened. He pondered on the matter for a while before speaking, "All right. We can go in only to save our pride. But we immediately surrender once we see

fighters from a first-class family. How about that? It's better than dying."

"Sounds good. Even our master's three sons are dead. It seems like there's some reckless nutcase running around here!"

The girl could only nod her head helplessly. If this went on, the Norman family would suffer great losses. The master would be absolutely livid if he found out that his three sons were dead.

At that moment, Fane and Daniella were casually flying deeper into the forest, continuing to search for the plaques.
