Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

Sauron had just returned to his palace and hadn't even had time to shed his fatigue when he saw Yasso rush in, looking flustered.

Yasso's face was full of worry as he breathlessly reported news that instantly tightened Sauron's nerves: "Your Highness, our sister was attacked by assassins last night!"

Sauron's heart sank heavily, as if struck by a massive boulder. His face changed drastically, and a hint of horror and anger flashed in his eyes.

He had long anticipated that the Croto family would send people to attack the refined salt workshop; they even dared to attack Corena.

Knowing what Corena's safety meant to him, he couldn't imagine her encountering danger.

Corena would later become one of Sauron's four great demonic riders. Without their help, Sauron alone would have been unable to stand against the Allied Forces' Seven Heroes.

"Quick, we must leave the palace immediately and go to the Wenk Royal Manor!" Sauron ordered urgently, his voice revealing an unquestionable determination.

The two hurriedly headed out of the palace. Just as they were about to step out of the palace gate, two female head attendants suddenly appeared before them, blocking their path. They were dressed in gorgeous court attire, their faces stern, as if they had been prepared for this.

"Prince Sauron, Prince Yasso, please stop," one of the female head attendants said in a calm but firm voice.

Sauron stopped, his brow furrowed. Looking at these two suddenly appearing female head attendants, a premonition of ill omen welled up in his heart.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking our way?" Yasso asked vigilantly.

The female head attendant bowed slightly and respectfully replied, "We are here to protect you two, sent by His Majesty. After the assassination attempt at the Wenk Royal Manor last night, His Majesty felt uneasy and specifically ordered us to come and ensure the safety of the two princes."

Hearing this, Sauron's anxiety eased slightly. He understood that this was his father's concern and protection for him. However, he still couldn't shake off his worry for Corena; he needed to get to her side as soon as possible to confirm her safety.

"Thank you for Father's concern," Sauron nodded slightly to express his gratitude, then added urgently, "However, we must immediately rush to the Wenk Royal Manor now. Corena is waiting for us."

The female head attendants exchanged glances, seemingly understanding Sauron's determination. They nodded and cleared the way.

"Please be careful, Your Highnesses. We will follow closely behind to ensure your safety," one of the female head attendants instructed.

Sauron and Yasso didn't say much. They only had one thought in their minds: to get to Corena's side as soon as possible. They hurried out of the palace, and behind them, the two female head attendants followed closely.

… … … … … …

The Croto family's secret manor was located in a secluded and dense forest outside the Imperial City. The manor's architectural style was simple and secretive, as if it was integrated with the surrounding natural environment.

Here, Jackson and Tyrrell, two important members of the family, were discussing countermeasures.

Suddenly, a messenger rushed into the manor, his face full of anxiety. He walked up to Jackson and Tyrrell and handed them a secret letter. Jackson tore open the envelope, quickly scanned the contents of the letter, and his face immediately turned gloomy.

"The plan has failed," he said in a deep voice, his tone revealing deep disappointment and annoyance.

Hearing this, Tyrrell couldn't help but frown as well. He had always been a member of the family's think tank and had placed high hopes on this operation. Now that such bad news had come, he felt very frustrated.

"They didn't destroy the Harlan family's refined salt workshop. This is a huge blow to the family's refined salt business," Tyrrell sighed.

Jackson clenched his fist, his eyes flashing with anger. He knew the Harlan family's position in the refined salt market. If they could successfully destroy their workshop, then the Croto family would have the opportunity to seize more market share. Now that the plan had failed, they had not only lost this opportunity but also might face the Harlan family's revenge.

"We must find a way to salvage the situation," Jackson said, gritting his teeth. "We can't just sit idly by and let the Harlan family continue to monopolize the market."

Tyrrell nodded, understanding that the current situation was very serious. He pondered for a moment, then said, "Perhaps we can consider starting from other aspects, such as finding the Harlan family's weaknesses or uniting with other families to fight against them together."

Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Jackson's eyes. He knew that Tyrrell's suggestion might be a feasible direction. They had to act quickly, or the Croto family's position in the refined salt market would be in jeopardy.

They never expected that the Harlan family's revenge would come so quickly and so fiercely.

… … … … … …

Sauron's gaze was fixed on Corena, looking her up and down, as if confirming that she was safe and sound.

"You weren't injured, were you!" Sauron's voice trembled slightly, eager to know if his sister was safe.

Seeing her brother's appearance, Corena felt a warm current in her heart. She shook her head and said with a smile, "I'm fine, Brother, don't worry!"

Hearing Corena's reply, Sauron finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves finally relaxed. A relieved smile appeared on his face, and his eyes revealed deep love for his sister as he gently pulled Corena into his arms.

Sauron gently patted Corena's back, as if comforting a frightened bird. His voice was soft and full of strength as he said, "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay. It was Brother's carelessness that he didn't detect the danger in advance and frightened you."

Feeling her brother's care and love, Corena's little face turned red, and her heart was full of happiness and contentment.

She snuggled tightly in Sauron's arms, as if she had found the safest haven. She raised her head and looked at Sauron with her bright eyes, which sparkled with trust and reliance.

Looking at his sister's eyes, Sauron became even more determined to protect her.

"How hypocritical!" The Blade of Infinity's untimely voice sounded.

"Get lost!"
