The Strongest Warrior’s Revenge novel Chapter 272

Chapter 272 

While Gavin was treating Lora’s injuries, Harry led the Frostpeak Dark Warriors to track down Paxton. 

In Riverrun, Zenor Town, the Southland Mansion. 

The eight commanders gathered together again. 

However, it could be seen from their dispirited state that they had been really busy the past few days. 

However, there was still no progress on what they were busy with. 

In the past few days, the 800 thousand Southland Army soldiers thoroughly searched all the local residents, peddlers, and other family members in Zenor Town. 

Every family and house was investigated at least three times. 

However, they did not find anyone capable of infiltrating Southland Mansion and killing the Southland Overlord. 

In fact, they did not even find the slightest trace of Gavin, whom they wanted to 

stop. 

These two matters had yet to come to a conclusion. 

“What do we do now?” The oldest commander said in a deep voice. 

The remaining seven commanders looked at each other, not knowing what to say. 

The commander, who was the oldest and strongest, spoke again. 

“We sealed the city immediately. The murderer who assassinated the Southland Overlord is definitely in this city, but we have no leads at all. 

“The Southland Overlord couldn’t have committed suicide, right?” 

His last rhetorical question was clearly a helpless retort. 

However, the eyes of the other seven commanders lit up when they heard this question. 

One of them nodded in agreement. 

“Huh? 

“Do you think there’s a possibility that the Southland Overlord died by himself?” As soon as he said this, the oldest commander almost exploded on the spot. 

He was about to flare. up. 

At this moment, he heard someone else agree, 

“That’s right! 

“The Southland Overlord is already at the peak of celestial rank and infinitely close to the divine rank. How many people in this world can kill him? That Lord 

Riverrun General, who has been in seclusion for many years, couldn’t have come out all of a sudden to kill the Southland Overlord, right?” 

The third person also directly said, 

“Moreover, when we found the Southland Overlord, only his head was left. His entire body had exploded into powder. 

“Could it be that the Southland Overlord went berserk during cultivation and self-destructed?” 

Good lord, these people could even come up with the guess that the Southland Overlord killed himself. 

It was really absurd. 

The most absurd thing was that the seven commanders actually nodded in agreement at the same time. 

“Makes sense!” 

Alright! 

Seeing this scene, the oldest commander was speechless. 

He thought to himself, “Why are the Southland Overlord’s subordinates all such idiots?” 

However… 

Was he scolding himself, too? 

To be honest, the oldest commander wanted to deny their point of view. 

But in this situation. 

Although he was certain that the Southland Overlord was assassinated, they could not find any evidence nor the murderer. 

It seemed that only the Southland Overlord’s self-destruction could explain what had happened. 

Therefore, this man pressed his lips with a strange expression and said helplessly, “In that case… 

“Let’s tell this news to the Southwest Overlord and the Southeast Overlord and see if they can contact the war general. After all, we can’t not have a Southland Overlord.” 

After this commander said this, the atmosphere in the entire prince’s mansion became strange. 

The expressions on the faces of this group of people looked like they were up to no good. 

However, on the surface, they all nodded in agreement. 

One of them said, “Alright, let’s sign it together and submit it!” 

Just like that. 

The dignified and powerful Southland Overlord, who had been in charge of Riverrun for decades, ended up being known as the overlord who had killed himself. 

This news spread. 

One could only wonder what the entire Riverrun would think. 

Of course, it didn’t matter what the people from Riverrun thought now. 

At West Blue. 

Harry had already stopped on the ceiling of a building with the Frostpeak Dark Warriors. 

With their strength, even if they swaggered on the ceiling, the person they were tracking would definitely not discover their whereabouts. 

After all, Gavin had done something like this, too. 

As Gavin’s subordinates, how could they not learn from Gavin? 

In the middle of the hall of this building. 

The disheveled Paxton was standing in the middle with his head lowered. 

He looked very nervous. 

It did not take long. 

A middle-aged man wearing the iconic clothing of Thorns walked out from the depths of the hall. 

His tone was very impatient. He frowned, and his attitude was extremely bad as he directly said to Paxton, “Who are you? What right do you have to seek an audience with the ruler of Thorns?” 

“Plop!” 

Paxton’s knees went weak, and he knelt on the ground. 

Then, he said loudly, “I am the next leader of the Craftsman Valley! 

“I have something that the ruler has been thinking about day and night. I’m here to offer it to the ruler!” 

Hearing Paxton’s words, this person from Thorns had a look of disdain on his face as he said coldly, “You’re the good-for-nothing who led our elites to surround the Craftsman Valley and caused our men to be wiped out?
