"Wang Wang’s brother? Get lost!" The elder of the Sang family couldn’t be bothered dealing with this troubleso man and was too lazy to even open the door.
Lu Hong pretended not to hear, applied a bit of force, broke the door lock, and calmly pushed the door open.
Upon seeing Lu Hong walk in, the elder’s eyebrows stood upright: "What do you want, boy?!"
"Nothing much, just seeking justice for Wang Wang. I won’t allow such bullying on her, especially under the guise of caring for her while exploiting her labor."
Upon hearing Lu Hong’s words, the elder knew today wouldn’t end peacefully, but he wasn’t afraid. He was a Second Transition master, and even though his Level was suppressed in this world, he could still kill the ordinary farr standing before him with one hand.
Putting on his coat, the elder got out of bed, walked to the table, lit a candle, and his anger dissipated. Instead, he looked at Lu Hong with interest: "How do you intend to seek justice for her?"
"Return all the Silver Tael you have extorted from her over the years."
Upon hearing this, the elder burst into laughter: "That’s simple enough; isn’t it just so Silver Taels?" Then, the elder retrieved two silver ingots from his Space Ring and said: "These two silver ingots can exchange for a full three thousand copper coins, more than enough to compensate the little girl."
Lu Hong reached out to grab the Silver on the table, but the elder stopped him.
The elder’s smile turned cold: "The Silver is there, but why should I give it to you?"
"You don’t have to give it, but I’ll take it myself." Saying this, Lu Hong applied a bit of force and pried open the elder’s hand.
Feeling the considerable brute strength in his palm, the elder raised an eyebrow: "I didn’t notice; you have so strength, no wonder you dared to co here and make trouble!"
Lu Hong took the Silver and decided not to get involved further, thus rising to leave.
The elder didn’t stop him, watching the other party’s departing figure quietly.
However, as Lu Hong walked out of the inn, three n dressed as guards were already blocking his way.
Then, the elder also stepped out of the inn, sneering at Lu Hong: "You may be able to take the Silver, but you’re dood not to spend it."
Seeing the three guards gradually drawing their blades, Lu Hong remained unruffled; even if he had no Magic Power and his bloodline wasn’t apparent, when exposed to the red light, those powerful world objects, Divine Artifacts, were decomposed into the earliest essence and integrated into Lu Hong’s body.
Without any Level, Lu Hong’s real combat power still wasn’t weaker than before; indeed, in so ways, he was even more formidable.
This was the conclusion Lu Hong reached after recently exploring his situation.
This powerful physical strength provided him with an advantage: disregarding the world’s Level suppression because he essentially had no Level.
Just a few guards, what was there to fear for Lu Hong?
At this mont, a patrolling governnt officer noticed the anomaly and quickly ca from the street corner, angrily pointing at the crowd: "What are you doing! Planning to have an ard fight in the city? Want to eat prison food?!"
The elder of the Sang family disapprovingly glanced at the approaching governnt officer, then took out a Token and tossed it onto the man’s face.
Seeing the large Sang character on the Token, the officer panicked, hastily returned the Token respectfully, and tremblingly said: "Oh, a nobleman of the Sang family, I’m blind in the eyes and don’t recognize greatness, blind in the eyes and don’t recognize greatness..."
"Get lost!"
"Ah, ah, understood!" The officer ca quickly and left just as quickly.
Just before leaving, he looked at Lu Hong with a hint of sympathy.
Sang family, a legendary powerful clan from the outside world capable of overthrowing the entire dynasty with a wave of a hand. How could they, re ants, possibly contend with them? Even the current emperor must be polite to them; if these people want to kill, not even the Heavenly King could stop them.
Driving away the officer, the elder said to Lu Hong: "Young man, do you now realize you’ve provoked soone you shouldn’t have?"
"Are you sure?" Lu Hong raised an eyebrow: "Why don’t you think you’ve provoked soone you shouldn’t have?"
"Courting death! A re commoner, boastful, kill him!"
With the elder’s order, the three guards imdiately drew their swords and attacked.
Unfortunately, in Lu Hong’s eyes, the speed of these three guards seed slow like tortoises crawling.
Casually grabbing the nearest guard, he swung him around and threw him at the other two, and the trendous force sent all three crashing away.
The three were disoriented, and their bones seed to scatter, groaning in pain.
Seeing this, the elder’s face darkened: "You have so skills; I was mistaken, but by offending my Sang family, you are certainly dead!"
Saying this, the elder moved to attack Lu Hong, gathering a ball of Magic Power in his hand and smashing it against Lu Hong’s back.
Regrettably, the Magic Power hitting Lu Hong’s back didn’t cause a ripple, leaving his smooth back visible through the torn clothes.
"This is..." Impossible! The elder was horrified, realizing that his full-strength attack hadn’t even scratched the opponent’s skin.
"You’re not an ordinary person?!" The elder imdiately realized, hurriedly retreated, trying to create distance.
But Lu Hong didn’t give him a chance, raising his hand to grasp the elder’s wrist: "You want to kill , so it’s only right I kill you?"
Saying this, he applied force and directly tore the elder’s arm off.
The cry of agony echoed through the night, bringing awake all the resting guests in the inn.
Lu Hong didn’t want to draw attention, so he told the elder: "I’ve taken the Silver, so let’s consider this done. If you plan revenge, be prepared for the consequences."
Ending with that, Lu Hong tossed aside the elder’s severed arm, strode away, lting into the night and disappearing.
The elder’s eyes were full of venom; he vowed to kill this man. He swore he would avenge this hatred!
Lu Hong first left the small town and returned to the cottage, worried that Wang Wang might be deeply saddened if she didn’t see him in the morning.
The next morning, he took Wang Wang into the town again, took out the hefty Silver, and treated Wang Wang to many expensive delicacies she dared not dream of eating.
Joyfully, they played for two days.
"Wang Wang, let’s move to another place, I’ll take you to a big city. From now on, you won’t have to plant berries; at your age, you should be studying and training—this is the foundation of a person’s establishnt. Don’t worry about money; I’ll take care of it. I’ll look after you, Wang Wang, okay?"
For this plan, Wang Wang naturally had no objections. Now she was genuinely grateful she had saved the unconscious Lu Hong back then. Otherwise, how could she have felt this kind of protection?
"Brother, will you be good to forever?"
Faced with Wang Wang’s timid question, Lu Hong smiled gently and embraced her: "Of course."
As they packed and prepared to head to the Imperial City, the Sang family elder also returned to the Sang family with the purchased purple berries.
After listening to the elder’s account of the purchase, the Family Head then asked about the elder’s severed arm: "Old man, what happened to your arm?"
Hearing the Family Head’s inquiry, the elder lanted and cried: "Master Family Head, in White City of the Xuanping Level, I encountered a vicious man who tried to rob the berries our Sang family purchased. It’s only by risking my life that I protected those berries, at the cost of my arm."
"Hmm?" The Family Head’s tone shifted: "Didn’t you reveal our Sang family’s Token?"
"Yes, I did, but the opponent said they were robbing specifically because it’s the Sang family."
"What!" The Family Head was outraged: "Challenging my Sang family, are they? Old man, for protecting the berries, you’ll be rewarded with a Sang family martial skill, and additionally, sketch out that man’s appearance. Anyone who dares confront my Sang family must die!"
"Thank you for the generous reward, Master Family Head; I’ll do it right away!"
