Chapter 87: The Idiot Blocking the Way

“You being stupid means you are honest. In fact, your talent proved that you are not stupid at all, just restrained. A man like this knows how to pamper women the most. I don’t think Rafat was wrong in this matter!” Lan Fake suddenly said, “But now it seems, you kid are also a slick one. Oh my, I’m afraid Rafat miscalculated! Should we dissolve the engagement and find someone else for her?”

Old Xie was depressed when he heard this. Why dissolve the engagement with a beautiful wife? Isn’t that eating too much and having nothing to do? So he hurriedly changed the topic, “By the way, why did the Feather Race couple have to entrust their daughter to the old guy? Is Natasha not trustworthy?”

“Sigh, this was also helpless!” Lan Fake said helplessly, “The wings of the Feather Race are generally white and gray, and there are also spotted ones. But the Feather Race Clan Head’s daughter’s wings were blood red. In the legends of the Feather Race, this is a symbol of bad luck and will bring bad luck to the people around. If she weren’t the daughter of the Clan Head couple, she would have been thrown into the mountains to feed the Magical Beasts long ago! So she obviously couldn’t stay in the Beast Race society. Therefore, the Feather Race Clan Head couple entrusted her to Rafat to let her grow up safely in human society. But who knew, sigh, she eventually died in childbirth. It’s such a pity!”

“Oh, so that’s it!” Old Xie suddenly asked again, “What about Rui Li? You didn’t mention her just now! Why didn’t she participate in killing Spike?”

“Her strength was not bad at the time, but she was only Level 6. In fact, Rui Li became a Magic Saint only in recent years. However, her famous work was also in that big battle 30 years ago.” Lan Fake laughed, “You know, most of the Burning Legion are fire creatures, and Rui Li happens to be an Ice Element Mage, which counters these guys the most. So in the city defense battle, she performed extraordinarily well, and the results she achieved were no less than a Magic Saint. Moreover, because the battle was very hard, she fainted several times vomiting blood on the City Wall, but she persisted until Spike’s head was delivered. After that, the morale of the Burning Legion plummeted. Just then, the reinforcements of the Elves and Dwarves arrived. The Allied Forces counterattacked and completely defeated the Burning Legion! Since then, no one has blamed Rui Li or Rafat for what happened back then. Rafat also inherited all the positions left by his father, and Rui Li became a professor at the Magic Academy.”

“I see!” Old Xie then remembered the mottled scars on the City Wall when he first arrived at the Imperial Capital, and the food and combat equipment stored in Stephen Castle for a long time. Thinking about it now, the City Wall must have been left from that battle. As for Stephen Castle, it would definitely become a wing of the Imperial Capital during the war, otherwise it wouldn’t store so many supplies for a long time.

Old Xie wanted to continue asking about some things regarding his biological mother Natasha, but unexpectedly, Lan Fake seemed to have drunk too much and actually climbed onto the table and fell dead asleep, making him not know whether to laugh or cry. Helplessly, he had to ask someone to help him into the bedroom to rest.

When Old Xie went out and looked, it was already dawn. The two of them had unknowingly drunk all night, which was incredible even to Old Xie!

At this time, the steward who brought him here came again to ask for instructions, “Young Master, are you staying here today, or going back? I need to arrange it for you.”

Old Xie thought for a moment, there was nothing to do if he stayed, anyway Lan Fake was already tricked onto the pirate ship, he would see him sooner or later, so there was no need to rush, so he said: “Let’s go back!”

“Yes!” The steward agreed and hurriedly went to prepare the carriage. Very soon, Old Xie sat on the carriage going home.

……

This time without the drag of Krishchen, the carriage ran very fast, setting off in the morning and arriving by evening, just before the city gates closed. After entering the city, the carriage went straight for the Duke’s Mansion. It was late, so Old Xie planned to stay the night here and return to the Mage Tower the next day.

However, when they passed through a main road in the business district, they were blocked. A shrill and mean voice shouted, “Who are you people? You have the guts of a dog, didn’t you see the Augustus Family sealed the road? How dare you try to barge in?”

Since Old Xie was on a secret mission this time, the carriage did not bear the Stephen Family’s badge, so the hothead sealing the road didn’t know this was the Stephen Family’s carriage, and thought it was a merchant’s carriage, otherwise it wouldn’t lack a family badge, which was why he dared to run his mouth like that.

Old Xie hadn’t slept all night yesterday, and had been bumping along in this broken carriage all day today, so even with his good constitution, he was somewhat tired and was dozing in the carriage, but unexpectedly was woken up by this strange, sarcastic voice. He was immediately angry and pulled open the curtain to look out.

It turned out this was right in front of the shop the Augustus Family had demolished. Currently, Augustus was rebuilding their shop with all their might, and to save time, they piled a large amount of building materials on the street, directly blocking most of the road. More accurately, only a very few people they couldn’t afford to offend could pass, as for the others, they had to go around!

Old Xie was examining the tall building that was already eighty percent complete when that annoying voice impatiently sounded again, “What are you looking at? Does an ugly freak like you deserve to look? Get lost now?”

The words ‘ugly freak’ deeply stung Old Xie’s heart. He turned to look at the arrogant fellow and found it was a wretched old man around 50 years old. His attire looked decent, but he was at most a foreman.

Old Xie couldn’t be bothered to talk nonsense. He directly reached out and released a bolt of Lightning. With a crack, that bastard fell flat to the ground, his whole body Charred, looking like he wouldn’t live! One had to know, with Old Xie’s Magic Power, electrocuting an ordinary person was as easy as playing!

There were also a few Warrior bodyguards beside the old man. Seeing the old man beaten to death on the spot, they were all quite scared and hurriedly drew their weapons, shouting: “Help! Murder!”

Very soon, dozens of armed personnel from the Augustus Family surrounded them, encircling the carriage. Seeing this formation, the steward driving for Old Xie was complaining in his heart, but he remained calm. Seeing they had come up, to avoid further conflict, he hurriedly shouted: “Wait, we are from the Stephen Family, do you want to start a war between two families?”

“Stephen Family?” A guy who looked like a deputy suddenly stepped out and asked strangely: “What proof do you have?”

“This is the family Badge!” The steward then took out his own Badge and showed it to the other party.

“It’s real!” The other party was someone who mixed in the Imperial Capital, so naturally he wouldn’t mistake it. However, he immediately said sternly: “Even if it is the Stephen Family, you can’t just kill people, right?”

“Cough cough!” The steward immediately coughed twice and said: “That guy looks like a commoner, right?” As he spoke, he pointed at the Charred corpse.

“Oh, yes!” The deputy could only nod.

“Then that’s right. A commoner dared to be disrespectful to our Young Master, doesn’t he deserve to die?” The steward said arrogantly.

“This~” Suddenly, the other party was speechless.

Old Xie hated waiting, so he impatiently said: “Why so much nonsense, move along, anyone who dares to block us, kill them!”

“Yes, Young Master!” The steward was no weakling either. Although a Level 3 Warrior wasn’t strong, it was still decent. He immediately waved his whip and drove the carriage forward.

None of the Augustus Family members dared to block them and quickly made way. Because they knew, if a Noble ran someone over, it was definitely for nothing, at most they would compensate a few silver coins. But if they dared to fight a Noble, especially a Noble from a Great Noble Family like Old Xie, it was a capital crime! Unless they were tired of living, they wouldn’t do such a stupid thing!

……

Leaving Old Xie to go back and rest, let’s just talk about the Augustus group. Seeing the killer leave, they didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly reported the situation up. One had to know, the person managing such a large construction project was no ordinary person. Although this man was not a Noble, he had a beautiful daughter who was Frank’s favorite concubine. In other words, this old guy was Frank’s Father-in-law!

So although he wasn’t a Noble, he was even more imposing than other minor Nobles, otherwise he wouldn’t be so arrogant. Unfortunately, this time he was too arrogant, which brought him a fatal disaster!

When Frank, the Clan Head of the Augustus Family, received the news, he was half dead with anger. He didn’t care about the old man’s life or death, but his own face was greatly hurt! No matter what, that was his steward, right? Even if you beat a dog, you should look at the owner, right? How could you just kill him? This was giving no face at all! If he swallowed this, how could the Augustus Family still stand in the Imperial Capital? Without any hesitation, Frank immediately took a carriage straight to the Stephen Family to demand justice.
