Moments later, the gold mine changed hands once again, with the original guards and managers all beaten and thrown out.
Those who dared to resist were almost all eliminated by Marcus, leaving a scene of blood and severed limbs scattered across the ground, making the place increasingly grim and terrifying, like a slaughterhouse.
"Those who dare to resist will be killed without mercy!"
This was the exact command issued by Xiar, and Marcus executed it perfectly, finally venting the accumulated rage he had harbored for so long.
After receiving the enhancement from the Parasitic Seed, Marcus's strength and physique surged several times over, even exceeding tenfold, instantly surpassing human limits and becoming a transcendent powerhouse.
The explosive increase in power rendered the Ultimate Warrior before him as fragile as a baby, let alone those ordinary guards!
After dealing with the Milwyn Family's men, Marcus ordered the guards to garrison here, instructing all miners to evacuate, leaving behind an empty mining area.
Having witnessed the bloody slaughter earlier, the miners hurriedly fled, not daring to stay behind for fear of being eliminated as well.
These miners were mostly locals from Shining Gold Town, earning a significantly higher reward through their hard work in mining compared to others.
Once the gold mine area was secured, Marcus led a team on horseback toward the Iron Mine Area located northwest of Shining Gold Town.
When Xiar traveled to Morent, he had previously cleared a path through the dense forest for the Ultimate Evolution Body beasts like Diamond and others.
This opened up access to iron and copper mines within the forest, providing Shining Gold Town with resources far more abundant than gold mines.
However, for three months now, the mining operations at these sites had only just begun to take shape and were still operating at a loss.
Due to funding shortages, various mining facilities had yet to be established, forcing them to rely solely on manual labor for gradual excavation.
As Baron was kidnapped, two Viscounts in Storm Harbor joined forces to seize the mines under a baseless pretext, exploiting the rich resources found there.
But now, Marcus ruthlessly drove them all away, executing anyone who dared to resist on the spot!
“Captain, doesn’t this mean we’ve completely offended those nobles in the city?” a concerned guard remarked.
Marcus wiped the blood from his Greatsword and replied with an admiring smile, “Don’t worry. You don’t understand how powerful the young master is. If those people dare to seek revenge, they will definitely find themselves unable to return!”
Just as the guard feared, at that moment in Storm Harbor, led by the Milwyn Family, many nobles were holding a secret meeting.
They were not unaware of the formidable armed forces possessed by their rival family, but greed drives men to folly. A mere Baron like Mestlin occupying such bountiful resources had long made them envious.
Thanks to a slip of information from the city lord, they learned that the identity of the one who had taken Baron Bougiano was someone from the palace!
This was their fundamental confidence in acting so recklessly; having provoked that Important Figure, even the city lord would find it hard to escape, let alone a mere rural Lord.
However, it seemed a problem had arisen. Upon the return of their only son, he had immediately resorted to lethal force without hesitation.
This was no longer just about reclaiming property; it was an open challenge to the entire noble class, even bordering on humiliation!
They needed a justification for seizing their rival's resource-rich mines, but their adversary showed no concern and had already killed over ten of them.
While lives may be cheap and nobles possess certain rights over life and death within their territories, failing to respond would mean bowing down and admitting defeat, which would turn their families into laughingstocks.
“This time, I propose we completely dismantle the Mestlin Family, making that reckless wastrel realize that without Burgano, he is nothing!” the leader of the Milwyn Family declared sternly.
“I second that!”
Other participants' families nodded in agreement, and then the discussion turned to the issue of profit distribution.
Meanwhile, in the Lord's Manor, within a special residence, the short and stout Lord of the City stood respectfully before a figure.
The person before him had a thin face and wore a silver robe, resembling a knowledgeable scholar. However, there was an inexplicable gleam in his eyes that made the Lord too intimidated to meet his gaze.
The Silver-Robed Man sat there, tapping lightly on the table with a calm demeanor, and said, "The arrival is not friendly; a Tier Three Expert has come unexpectedly. It seems we need to prepare more."
"Will this affect Storm Harbor?" Lord Christopher asked cautiously.
A count showing such respect before someone would surely leave many people astonished if they knew.
"Do not worry. If he dares to act recklessly when the time comes, do not blame me for being impolite. Even a Third-Level Spirit Master cannot provoke the dignity of the Empire!"
The Silver-Robed Man replied coldly, his immense spiritual pressure making the Lord even more respectful, but he felt a sense of relief inside.
The earlier mysterious changes had rapidly spread throughout Storm Harbor, leaving countless people in confusion and severely impacting the city's law and order. He urgently needed to calm the restless citizens and nobles.
………………
In the Gold Mine Area, Xiar arrived by carriage and stood quietly with Warner and others in the mining zone.
After some time, massive figures appeared on the distant mountainside.
These monsters were all clad in thick shells, with fierce and terrifying appearances, resembling some kind of insect magnified dozens or even hundreds of times. They rushed forward with claws bared, kicking up clouds of dust behind them.
However, as they approached Xiar and his group, the monsters began to slow down.
Two familiar figures descended from the backs of the monsters. Erin rushed over excitedly, "Xiar, I'm so glad you're okay!"
But as she got closer to Xiar, she stopped in her tracks, a look of deep guilt and self-reproach crossing her face. "I'm sorry we came back too late; we couldn't save your father."
"It's not your fault. You're only at Secondary level; you couldn't have come back in time to help against even a few of the Second Evolution creatures I left behind. The enemy was simply too strong for you. Even if you had arrived on time, it wouldn't have made much difference."
Seeing the girl, Xiar's previously tense expression finally relaxed a bit as he reached out to gently ruffle her hair.
During the final battle, he couldn't even ensure his own safety. To be cautious, he had entrusted Tiffany with sending the two of them back early and bringing along the Rune Factory and other items.
After that, the two stayed in Twilight Forest to assist Kerrigan with the Zerg's analysis of the Inheritance Factor blueprint, optimizing and modifying the performance of the creatures produced.
The monsters rushing toward them were offspring bred by Kerrigan and were Xiar's strongest trump card!
His eyes shimmered with purple light as he utilized the soul link with Kerrigan to directly issue commands to these creatures.
In that game, the Zerg were inherently a predatory race with clear divisions of labor and many "workers" capable of harvesting resources.
Thus, from the very beginning, Xiar had never considered using human labor to mine various mineral resources!
