𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟕𝟕: 𝐊𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 (2)
Mariska headed straight for the Maren family as soon as morning came. She disguised herself as a maid, since moving with an escort would have drawn attention to her.
However, there was one gaze she couldn’t avoid. . . Oswald’s.
‘𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘮𝘦.’
Disguise meant nothing to Oswald, who could check the other party’s Status Window through the ‘Eye of Horus’.
He had been secretly watching the Kronen family’s mansion, observing everyone who came and went from the mansion, and he had discovered Mariska Maren among them.
Oswald then carefully followed her and confirmed that she had entered the Maren family’s mansion, as Royman had said.
‘𝘐 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘙𝘰𝘺𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘺. . . .’
However, this place was already Oswald’s territory. On the rooftop where he stood, dozens of scarlet sniper rifles were lined up, and Oswald was operating the automatic firing control system that connected them.
A war machine that could operate as long as there was enough imagination and detail. It was the perfect weapon for Oswald.
“Well, shall we begin?”
The scopes attached to the sniper rifles had thermal imaging capabilities, making it easy to identify people moving around inside the building. The target was everyone in the mansion, and the aiming point was set to the head.
Oswald activated the firing control system after completing his preparations. At that moment, a deafening sound began as the sniping commenced.
Poof! Poof!
Normally, the sound wouldn’t have been reduced to this extent. . . Despite firing armor-piercing rounds with Blood Daemon, there was no sound.
It was only after about thirty people had died that the Maren family realized they were under attack. They began firing their guns randomly in the direction from which the bullets were coming.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Most of them were firing revolvers, and the problem was that they had no way of knowing which direction the sniping was coming from, so they were helpless to do anything about it.
At that moment, a bullet ricocheted off the spot where Oswald’s sniper rifle was.
“Oh! So there is someone skilled here after all?”
It seemed that the other party had a sharpshooter who had reached the Expert level. Well, it would have been strange if a dark organization that controlled half of a city didn’t have any Expert-level personnel.
Oswald immediately expanded his senses and pursued the one with a different aura.
Soon, a figure caught his senses. He could sense the magic power swirling around him, and he could feel him moving towards Oswald’s location.
Oswald took direct control of one of the sniper rifles and searched for him, aiming it. He pulled the trigger just as the man attempted to shoot.
Puck. Bang!
The man collapsed, spewing blood.
The sniping continued for a long time. . . Oswald withdrew when there were no more survivors inside the mansion.
Of course, the head of the Maren family and Mariska, who had just entered, were nowhere to be seen, as they had escaped through a secret passage.
‘𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘰𝘱𝘴.’
The bullets had been flying in relentlessly. The other party would probably assume that they had a large number of enemies.
“The first operation is a success. Mariska will probably be shocked and immediately tell the Kronen family head everything.”
“We’ll probably have a head-on confrontation soon.”
The Kronen family head might move himself after hearing the news. If that happened, he planned to subdue the Kronen family head in one fell swoop.

Mariska, who had barely made it back to her family home, immediately went to the Kronen family head.
“Family head, family head! It’s terrible. That bastard Royman has turned my father’s family upside down.”
“I already heard from Sword that there was a battle. Are you alright?”
“I survived thanks to my father quickly opening a secret passage for me to escape.”
“Is your father alright?”
“My father is currently gathering troops.”
“Troops. . .? The Southern Military District Command will not tolerate that.”
“However, the bastard’s power is not to be underestimated. I don’t know who is helping him, but if we don’t deal with him forcefully, we will have problems in the future, family head!”
“Hmm. . . .”
“You must think of Ruaman! Are you going to just abandon your heir? Because of that good-for-nothing bastard?”
“Ugh. . . .”
Heirs were heirs for a reason. At first, he had loved Ruaman because he could gain the power of the Maren family, a huge organization that divided Kuwait City with his legal wife.
However. . . No matter how much time passed, Royman’s inferior talent was really hard to bear. And yet, instead of putting in any effort, all he did was cause trouble or laze around. . . To be honest, his heart had grown cold towards him.
However, it was too late to turn back now. The assassins sent to Royman had moved with his tacit approval. Royman must know that too. He had already crossed the point of no return with Royman.
“Alright, but I may not be able to mobilize all of the family’s assassins. There are already talks within the council of elders that Royman should be reinstated. . . .”
“If you, the family head, move yourself, will that bastard be able to do anything?”
“Hoo. . . .”
