I'm the King Of Technology

Chapter 1161 - Bad News!

Everyone’s smile bloomed like a flower the more they heard about Alec’s death.

"City Lord. This is great news for us. We need to take over his will fast." One of them said excitedly, making the others also daydream about their futures as well.

"Yes, City Lord. He’s right. Remember. There’s a battle-will for every lost member in the organization who got killed by a non-member. So we must claim it all!"

"Hmmm...." The city lord nodded in agreement.

If it were the Killing window and a member took down Alec, then the member could inherit Alec’s prestige, title and even yearly rewards, perks and dividends too.

Of course, killing a member outside of the killing window would not give the same result.

One could be put to death or cleanly stripped, blocklisted and hunted wherever they went because of that.

And in this case, if Alec was killed by another member outside the killing window... Then Alec’s perks, etc...wouldn’t go to any of them. It would just be erased or cancelled.

But in this case that he was killed by a non-member, his perks, yearly income organization, and even jobs could be inherited by a level 6 member.

Yes. The level 6 members will compete to add Alec’s title and everything else under their names.

And once that was done, the winner would automatically get boosted to a level 5 position.

Why? Because they were already at level 6... And Alec was at level 6 too.

So, add all their accomplishments, together with Alec’s achievements, and it would be enough to rank up.

So who wouldn’t want to get Alec’s ’Will of Inheritance?’

They may hate the man, but they had to admit that he had done a lot over the years, earning them greater points and boosting their chances of ranking faster.

So his death was indeed good news to them.

.

Everyone smiled for a bit before suddenly frowning.

"City Lord... Why do I feel like it all sounds too easy and good to be true? What if it’s a fake death?"

"Yeah! We all know how scheming and cunning that guy is. So can he truly die from some hidden nephew? I think there’s more to it than what meets the eye."

"I agree. What if Alec Barn passed on the message himself just to lay low and escape the Killing window?"

The city lord ċȧrėssed his chin thoughtfully: "He dare not low to the Order. Lying about death to escape the killing window is too cowardly and can even make one hunted for life instead. He might also have to be demoted for such behaviour too. So I don’t think a man of his calibre would do such a thing. That said, the news should be true... However, just in case his death is fake, we’ll still have to remain vigilant! One can never be too sure when it concerns that bastard."

"Hmhm." Everyone nodded.

Well, that was it for the good news.

As for the bad news... Heh... It was indeed a hard one!

Now, everyone’s hearts were beating hard as they watched the City Lord take deep breaths.

"Gentlemen... Alec Barn wants the only one dead..... 6th-level ranked, Sir Nopline is also dead."

"....."

Boom!

An explosion went off in their minds.

Sir Nopline was dead?

This... F***!

.

Why was Sir Nopline’s death more shocking than Alec Barn’s?

They were both from Pyno. So why was one disgusted by others while the other was treated with respect?

It all boiled down to their prestige and ways of doing things.

Firstly, both were 6th level rankers... A.K.A, Lackeys for the top-level rankers in Morgany.

But here’s the thing.

All these years, Alec Barn had been dodging and refusing to be anyone else’s lackey.

He always felt like he should be one of the big top dogs. So he also wanted to prove that he could get to the very top without being a lackey, not once.

Being a lackey meant joining a certain person’s fraction.

And he, who was ruler of his own empire, couldn’t see himself ŀɨċkɨnġ the dog bones off anyone’s plates.

Thus, he only took individual but risky jobs and succeeded at them, even when people thought he would fail.

And honestly, if he didn’t die so abruptly, they wouldn’t be shocked if he soon got to the 4th or 3rd positions.

That guy was determined to do what he could to get to the top without being a lackey.

At the same time, his actions drew hate from many within other great continents who were lackeys.

What?

Was he saying that he, from Pyno, was too good for it... but they, from even more powerful continents, were the ones who fitted the role as lackeys?

These were just a few out of the many reasons why they detested Alec.

.

As for Nopline, he was brilliant when mingling with people and always lowered his head too.

He knew how to gain people’s trust and knew how to put up a harmless air about him.

His big round body also allowed them to understand that this person couldn’t fight at all.

He was the real definition of a people pleaser.

And that’s how he joined the fraction of one of the most powerful top rankers.

In there, he worked his magic and even got the approval of the big top-ranked himself.

No one knows how Nopline did it, but he found a way to get that Top ranker to declare him as his ’Brother.’

So no one dared to pick a fight or a bone with Nopline.

And now that he was dead guess who would shake things up in the Order?

Heh...one word reached his brother, things would really get heated up.

.

Typically, they should’ve also fought for Nopline’s Will.

But they dared not.

Nopline’s death was bad for them because he had promised to send them the ’thing’ they requested, which could change things for them too.

They had already paid for it.

But now, Nopline was no more.

So what should they do?

Dammit! They had wasted their money for nothing.

And this was all to blame for the bastard(s) that dared to kill Sir Nopline.

Well, for revenge, they would leave it to that ’brother’ of Nopline.

That’s right.

The devil had left the underworld to now mingle with the living.

So only death could follow those unfortunate souls.

Only a mad or death-seeking person would pick a fight with that devil.

Nopline’s brother was on his way!
