Edmund was well aware that the Dragon Slayer Organization was not a simple adversary. Killing Hanson and Sivan would inevitably bring a lot of trouble, but he had no choice. If he did not kill them, they would bring even greater problems for him.
Taking action now, while his identity as a dragon clan cultivator had not yet spread beyond Buck Town, was the best option. Additionally, Wilbur was a card he could use to win over Lord George. Since George had specifically asked him to look after Wilbur, and now that he had found Wilbur and brought him back, George would surely choose to help him.
Wilbur and Edmund were now in the same boat. To save Wilbur, George would have no choice but to support him. With George's backing and the fact that Hanson and Sivan had acted against the rules by breaking into the City Lord's residence, Edmund had a perfect reason to kill them. Even if the Dragon Slayer Organization still suspected him, they would not dare to act rashly. They could easily order the killing of an ordinary cultivator, but not a City Lord.
As the lord of Buck Town, Edmund held supreme authority within the city. Anyone who defied the City Lord and caused bloodshed had only themselves to blame.
Edmund and Wilbur returned to Buck Town and entered the City Lord's mansion. The guards had already killed all the Dragon Slayer Organization members who had broken in. The ground was littered with corpses of both the Dragon Slayer Organization members and the mansion's guards.
Edmund glanced at the bodies, his eyes filled with shock. At that moment, a guard ran over, went down on one knee, and said, "My Lord, in this battle, we killed twenty-two members of the Dragon Slayer Organization."
"What about the casualties among the guards?"
"Well…" The guard hesitated for a moment, then said, "We lost sixty men."
