Chapter 10: Members of the Dragon Hunting Family, daring to come here?

The butler seemed to have initially wanted to find Kent, but upon discovering that Kent was in training, he could only seek out Sila, the young master.

Gazing at the firmly closed door, the butler didn't dare to disturb him hastily.

It wasn't until Sila spoke up, "What's wrong? Something on your mind? Come in." 

That the butler hurriedly reported.

The Dragon Hunting Family, who had injured Kent earlier, had come seeking revenge!

"He actually dared to come!" A hint of annoyance flashed through Sila's eyes.

He had been planning to deal with the Dragon Hunting Family later, but he hadn't expected them to come to his doorstep themselves.

You say Kent deliberately mocked them and used ruthless tactics.

So what?

My grandfather suffered an injury that will require half a year to recover, while your Dragon Hunting Family only lost a guard captain I don't even know, who will spend the rest of his life in bed.

Can you compare that?

Sila thought for a moment before stepping forward. "I'll go see. Oh, and don't disturb Grandfather Kent. He's still in training, or else..."

He winked, leaving the butler with a bitter expression.

The young master was going to face the provocation of the Dragon Hunting Family directly. If he didn't tell Kent and something happened to the young master later, wouldn't the old master skin him alive?

Fortunately, Sila gave him a reassurance, "Don't worry, I won't let you be held responsible."

With that, Sila took a winding path and spent more than ten minutes to walk out of the mansion.

At this point, quite a crowd had gathered outside the door.

The Leviathan family's mansion was highly concealed, and from the outside of the gate, one could not see the luxury within.

From a distance, Sila spotted his nemesis from the Magic Academy - Scott from the Dragon Hunting Family, along with a group of followers trailing behind him.

Upon seeing Scott's smug expression, Sila's face darkened instantly.

He had previously lost face in front of Scott.

In the Victoria Magic Academy, Scott and Sila were known as the "two tyrants".

Sila's "tyranny" mainly manifested in his determination to win over any girl he set his eyes on, regardless of the cost.

On the surface, Sila enjoyed himself while the girls received money.

The problem was that Sila didn't care if the girls had boyfriends when he showered them with money, earning him the enmity of many.

Scott from the Dragon Hunting Family, on the other hand, was more straightforward and brutal.

As a member of a martial aristocracy, he accumulated his negative reputation in school through "fighting"!

This included robbing students from wealthy families, establishing a so-called "brotherhood", and forcing some skilled students to join, all while subjecting them to humiliating rituals organized by Scott before joining, such as running naked through the academy...

The reason for the conflict between Scott and Sila was simple.

Scott believed that someone like Sila, a "complete waste", didn't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as him.

He publicly challenged Sila to a life-or-death duel during a practical class.

Naturally, Sila couldn't accept.

This incident was widely spread by Scott's "brotherhood", causing Sila to lose a great amount of face.

Sila squinted his eyes slightly.

Perfect, he thought, let's settle both old and new grudges together.

Scott stood arrogantly at the entrance of the mansion, his chin held high, and contempt in his eyes. The members of his brotherhood beside him were all rubbing their hands together, wearing malevolent smiles.

"Sila, today you must give us, the Dragon Hunting Family, a proper explanation!" Scott shouted. "Your family's old geezer injured my guard captain. This can't just be over." "You must compensate us for our losses!"

He stretched out a hand, raised five fingers, and waved them in the air.

At the same time, the members of the brotherhood stepped forward, their elite statuses radiating an imposing aura!

"Five hundred thousand gold coins, that's the minimum compensation. If you can't produce it, don't blame us for being rude." Scott declared.

Sila: "..."

He almost couldn't suppress his laughter.

Seriously...

You guys went to all this trouble for just that much...

It had always been said that martial aristocrats were generally poor, and now it seemed...

They really were.

A member of the brotherhood behind Scott stepped forward, a fierce smile on his face, echoing Scott's words. "Sila, if you can't come up with the money today, you'd better watch your back in the future.

" Another member joined in the shouting, "There's a field practical class in the academy in a few days. I've heard that someone always goes missing during those..."

...

The members of the brotherhood spoke one after another, their voices growing louder and louder, and the crowd around them also grew, their shouts and threats blending together like a dark gray storm.

At this point, passersby who had originally been walking by quickly stepped aside, looking at Sila's slender figure with sympathetic expressions.

Sila had never revealed his identity as a member of the Leviathan family to anyone, even after joining the Magic Academy. In the eyes of those around him, this scene was just a group of students relying on their strength to extort a poor soul.

Seeing that Sila didn't respond immediately, Scott and the members of the brotherhood sneered internally.

In their opinion, this was Sila backing down!

In the academy, if he didn't dare to accept the challenge for a life-or-death battle, it meant he was an easy target!

However, Sila merely wore a faint sneer and slowly raised his Sunfire Staff.

The staff shimmered with intense heat under the sunlight, seemingly exhaling flames of fury.

"What are you going to do?" Scott, as a member of the Dragon Hunting Family, had a sharp combat awareness and instantly became vigilant.

Then, he swiftly drew his sword, and a grayish-white aura suddenly flashed around him.

It was the combat skill that an elite status warrior could wield – Swift Charge.

Unfortunately, his action was still a step too slow.

For someone of Scott's age, it was already quite remarkable to master an elite status combat skill. However, with the help of the system, Sila had mastered "Fiery Rain" proficiently.

As he pronounced three syllables, intense flames instantly ignited.

In the sky above, meteors soared out like flying arrows, descending in response to the incantation. The very first fiery meteor struck Scott directly, forcefully interrupting his combat skill.

He grunted, spat out a mouthful of blood, and stumbled backward half a step. Immediately after, the second meteor struck with precision!

With proficient control, Sila cleverly confined the range of "Meteor Shower" to Scott's immediate surroundings.

In an instant, over a dozen meteors struck him consecutively, engulfing him in raging flames and turning him into a human torch.

Only when a cracking sound came from Scott and a jade-like magic shield appeared on him did the intense flames barely dissipate.

He looked disheveled, his hair singed, clothes in tatters, and his face filled with terror and disbelief. He never expected that Sila, whom he had always seen as a worthless individual, could wield such powerful magic.

The numerous members of the brotherhood behind him also instantly shifted from their previous fervor to calmness.

They were fine with following Scott to bully the weak, picking on easy targets, and earning some pocket money, but facing someone who could proficiently use such powerful magic made them hesitate.

Seeing this, Sila slowly lowered his hand.

In "Journey of Radiance." Scott had also appeared as a minor villain in the early stages.

Having dealt with Scott, Sila naturally knew about his protective jade pendant.

However, Sila wasn't prepared to kill him in public.

It wasn't because he feared the laws of the Victoria Duchy.

But rather, if news of this spread to Elina, it might affect Sila's efforts to curry favor with her.

It was just that...

Sila smiled, gently brushing the dust off his staff.

In reality, seeing Scott, who had previously caused him to lose face, in such a disheveled state, he could hardly suppress his laughter.

And Scott...

After his initial panic, he became extremely furious and enraged.

Being defeated by others didn't matter to him, but being bested by Sila, who was recognized as a waste in the academy, was unbearable.

His face turned red, his skin twitched a few times, and he shouted angrily, "What are you all standing there for? Attack! Kill him!" His voice was filled with rage and resentment, hysterical and nearly crazy.

"All of you are elite status, can't you even beat him?"

Scott was right, even with the Sunfire Staff and Fiery Rain, Sila couldn't possibly handle the dozen or so elite status members of the brotherhood.

But Sila merely tapped the Sunfire Staff lightly, and a powerful spiritual force surged out.

It instantly brought the members of the brotherhood back to their senses.

Sila pointed directly at them, a mocking smile curling his lips as he said, "How much is Scott paying you? I'll double it. No, looking at his poor appearance, doubling it is too little. I'll offer five times the amount."

Instantly...

The crowd charging towards Sila ran into an invisible wall.
