"Little brat, get the hell out here!"
"Dammit, you set the price so low, you've taken away so much of our business! Didn't you learn your lesson the last ti I beat you up?"
"Yeah, and that guest of yours, who the hell does he think he is, laying hands on ? You're asking to die!"
"Get your asses out here!"
The voices outside grew louder. Inside the room, Orion's expression began to darken. Her brother, after thinking for a mont, quickly understood what was going on.
He clenched his fists in anger, rembering how Orion had been bullied by these people before. But now, he had only just been saved from the brink of death by Charles, and he had no strength to fight back. He had no way of handling this situation.
"Sir, I'm very grateful for you saving . I, Soren, am not an ungrateful person. The people outside are here for us, not for you. You should leave quickly," Soren said sincerely.
Orion looked at her weak brother, then at Charles holding the long knife. She gritted her teeth and stepped out from behind her brother, speaking to Charles:
"It's fine, I'll go out for a bit. Those people won't dare kill anyone in the city."
"Please wait for a mont. It'll be over soon, and they don't know you're here."
After speaking, Orion lowered her head and quickened her pace, trying to leave the room where she and her brother Soren were.
At this critical mont, Charles raised the long knife in his hand, smiled slightly, and said, "You're just going to go out and take a beating like that?"
"It's just two level five Beast Masters and three level four Beast Masters, not a big deal. You two stay here, I'll go out and have a nice chat with them."
Hearing Charles' words, Orion and Soren widened their eyes, looking at Charles with gratitude. They thought Charles was just saying that to comfort them.
"It's fine, my wounds from last ti are almost healed. I'm not afraid of the pain, not afraid," Orion suddenly smiled, her clear eyes full of determination. She dashed out the door.
Charles sighed, glanced at Soren, and said slowly, "You have a good sister."
Soren gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and felt imnse guilt. He lowered his head and muttered, "Yeah, she has an unqualified brother."
Then, Soren struggled to lean against the wall, slowly moving his weak body, trying to go out and face the situation with his sister.
"Stay put. Don't worry, it'll be resolved soon," Charles said casually, then turned and walked out.
Outside the door, five fierce looking n glared at the small and fragile Orion, continuously insulting her:
"All the guides in the City of Harmony have standardized prices! You're underpricing, disrupting the market, and causing us to lose a lot of business!"
"Little brat, didn't you learn your lesson last ti?"
Orion held her head high, her body straight. Even though her body trembled slightly, she still replied, "I've already paid the price. Last ti you beat up, I didn't report it to the authorities. You don't need to compensate or face punishnt."
"Hmph, what a joke! Paid the price? You should take that nearly dead useless brother of yours and get out of here!" one of the level five Beast Masters sneered.
His underlings, lower level Beast Masters, had already told him about Orion several tis. Initially, they thought that after giving Orion a good beating, she wouldn't dare go out looking for custors again. But to their surprise, this little brat was bold enough to show up again, and even injured one of his n!
After dealing with Orion, he planned to find that outsider and take revenge, teaching him a lesson about who's boss in this territory!
"Enough talking, you two, teach her a good lesson. Break her legs and see how she gets out of here!" The level five Beast Master waved his hand, and imdiately, two level four Beast Masters stepped forward with wicked grins on their faces.
Orion closed her eyes in despair. Only one thought filled her mind her brother's body wasn't fully healed yet. If her legs were broken, how would he manage?
She had already made concessions, but she needed the money; there was no other way!
At that mont, a figure slowly stepped out from behind Orion, speaking up:
"A few big n, bullying a little girl, how shaless can you be?"
"It's you? Big Brother, it's this guy! Damn it, my arm still hurts from what he did to !" The man who had been grabbed by Charles at the city gates shouted when he saw him.
Charles couldn't be bothered to waste ti with these people. He was eager to get so information from Soren about Celestial City, the Infinity Isles. Even if he didn't learn much, it would still help prepare him for his journey to Celestial City to search for the fallen ancient gods.
The next mont, Charles reversed his grip on the [black gold long knife], holding the back of the blade forward. After all, they were still in the City of Harmony, and causing a death would definitely cause trouble. Since they wanted to break Orion's legs, he'd break theirs and let them crawl away instead.
"You still think you can resist? Ridiculous! There's five of us, and two are level five Beast Masters! Kid, are you out of your mind? Hahahaha!" The loud, reckless laughter echoed.
However, the laughter was cut off abruptly.
This was because Charles' figure had already disappeared from where he stood, moving like a shadow, rapidly closing the distance towards the group.
"Ahhh! My legs!" The shrill scream rang out.
Before the group had a chance to react, Charles had already used the back of his [black gold long knife] to break the legs of the man in the front. The grueso sound of bone piercing through flesh was exposed to the air, accompanied by the agonizing scream that sent chills down everyone's spine.
"How is this possible! He didn't summon a mystical beast, nor did he use [Beast Possession and Fusion]! With that speed, even I, a level five Beast Master, couldn't react!" The leader of the group, a level five Beast Master, gasped in shock. He licked his lips slightly, his mind racing in disbelief.
"Quick! Summon mystical beasts, everyone attack together!" The level five Beast Master shouted as he took a few steps back.
Charles' sudden attack caught them off guard, but the main reason they were stunned was how fast he was. The Beast Master realized that this young man holding the long knife was no ordinary opponent. So, he decided on the safest thod group attack!
Soon, hexagram arrays appeared one after another, and mystical beasts were summoned. Under their master's command, they opened their blood red mouths and charged at Charles.
Charles remained completely calm. Truth be told, in his battle experience, facing multiple opponents and multiple mystical beasts was sothing he was very used to.
With the support of [Divine Domain], every detail of the mystical beasts' attacks around Charles appeared clearly in his mind. He began to predict their movents and attacks.
Then, in front of everyone, an unbelievable scene unfolded.
Charles casually swung his [black gold long knife], perfectly blocking one of the mystical beast's attacks. He smoothly pivoted his body, avoiding the sharp claws of another mystical beast. Then, in one swift motion, he raised a leg and kicked the mystical beast squarely in the chest.
The force sent the mystical beast flying, crashing into another mystical beast that was charging up flas to ambush Charles. The two mystical beasts collided, and with the added fire energy, an explosion erupted.
"Boom!" A deafening explosion shook the air, and dust billowed around them.
Charles continued to approach the remaining Beast Masters as if he were out for a casual stroll.
All of this happened in the span of just two or three breaths. Aside from the unlucky man whose legs were broken at the start, the remaining four stood frozen, swallowing nervously.
"Am I dreaming? Could he be a level seven Beast Master?" Soone couldn't help but speak up, their voice trembling, clearly shaken by what had just happened.
"What are you standing there for? Quickly use [Beast Possession and Fusion]! Damn it, grab your weapons! The five of us no, four of us can't we take down just one person?" The level five Beast Master decisively gave the order and ca up with a counter strategy.
The others quickly snapped out of their shock and began preparing to use [Beast Possession and Fusion]. Just as the mystical beasts, in the form of glowing lights, were about to rge with them, Charles' figure suddenly disappeared!
The level five Beast Master who had been closely watching Charles thought to himself, "This is bad." Just as he was about to warn the others, he felt an odd sensation behind him.
"Pathetic, too weak. You guys have probably never experienced life or death battles, huh? No wonder you're all level four or level five Beast Masters, but you're stuck working as guides in the city," Charles' voice echoed.
In the next instant, the once boastful level five Beast Master, who had been shouting about breaking Orion's legs, was sent flying through the air like a shrimp, crashing into a wall with a mouthful of blood.
The others were stunned, unable to believe that Charles had disappeared from his original spot and appeared behind them.
"Sigh, [Beast Possession and Fusion] is too slow. If this were outside the city, you'd all be dead by now." A calm voice rang out once more, and then a red and blue fla, as fast as light, appeared in the middle of the remaining Beast Masters.
