Chapter 167 - Looking around
"I\'m sorry, master, my men are doing the best they can. At most the investigation will end tomorrow and I\'ll be able to present to you the b*stard that tried to kill your woman\'s family."
"Very well, after you\'re done resting continue swinging that sword I gave you. Every time you swing it, I want you to imagine that if your first attack doesn\'t kill your opponent then you\'re the one to die."
"Yes, master!" Lance held the sword given to him by Ren tightly.
"As for me, I\'m going to look around the city. How about giving me some money to spend."
"Of course master, here it might be too little but I wish you would bear with it for now." Lance handed Ren a heavy bag filled to the brim with gold coins. Seeing Lance so subservient continued to be weird. The change in Lance\'s character in these two days was so much that Ren was still a bit bewildered by it.
"No, this much is fine." Ren took the bag of gold coins and left with Silika following behind him. Once Ren\'s back was nowhere to be seen, Lance stood up and started to swing the sword again.
\'It\'s been ages since I last did something so basic, but for some reason, it feels like my foundation is actually getting better. Master\'s swordsmanship is the very basics, but the way he does it makes it look an art form... Enough, I need to concentrate. Each swing must be swung like it\'s my strongest attack.\'
Lance started to swing his sword with an intent to kill, he wasn\'t using any mana nor ki but the power of each of his strikes was gradually getting stronger.
...
Ren and Silika were finally able to reach the nearby city, but before they headed inside Silika stopped.
"Ren do you want me to wear my veil, or go back into your tattoo?"
"Why?"
"Becuase the last time we entered a town and the people saw my face, we were assaulted."
"So what? You\'re my woman and if they try to do anything to you, then they just need to die. Why should you hide your face to such people?"
Hearing what Ren said made Silika smile as she nodded her head. The two proceeded to head into the city. They were then stopped by a guard who asked them to identify themselves. Ren showed the guard a medallion given to him by Lance indicating that he was a guest of the Resteti family. The moment the guard saw the medallion he humbly backed away.
In this city the influence of the Resteti family was huge and the only other family that could match them was the Valier family.
The two then entered the city without any problem, but once they entered the people especially the men started to look at Silika. They were beguiled by her beauty and confused as to why she was with someone average looking like Ren. Was Ren perhaps a young master of an influential family, was he a rich merchant, or a powerful warrior? They didn\'t know but they knew one thing they were extremely jealous.
...
While they were walking around attracting attention, Ren wasn\'t bothered one bit. Hearing them badmouth him about being with Silika was like praises to his ear. He wasn\'t bothered by the people, as long as they don\'t harbor any killing intent then he didn\'t really care. Also, he was in a good mood since he was able to strengthen his mana capacity yesterday.
The two then started to do some shopping and ate a fine meal. As they were touring the city they noticed a bunch of people gathering in one spot. Ren was a bit curious and used his mana sensing to see who were in the crowd of people. He noticed that there were three people that have a higher degree of mana than the rest of the people gathered. This got Ren a bit curious as he and Silika approached the crowd.
...
When Ren got closer he saw what the crowd was looking at, an overly dressed teen was harassing a rather pretty maiden. Based on the reaction of the people and seeing they weren\'t helping, it was pretty obvious to Ren that the young man was someone important. Ren then started to listen to the crowd and figured out who the young man was.
The overly dressed teen was the young master of the Valier family that was directly opposed to the Resteti family.
\'Hmm, if Valdel was here he would have quickly saved the girl... What the heck, I\'m feeling really great today, I guess I can save her. The three guys protecting that man seems to be fairly strong as well, maybe I can test how much my mana increased. Oh, I could also test some new techniques I created.\' Thinking about being able to fight new opponents made Ren excited. Seeing Ren\'s vicious smile Silika could already guess what Ren would do next.
...
"Please my lord spare me."
"Why are you acting like this? I already told you I would give you as much gold coin as you want. All you need to do is show me a good time." The young master of the Valier family licked his lips as he wrapped his arms around the woman\'s belly. He was then about to touch a more intimate place but a voice interrupted him.
"Hey, why don\'t you let that woman go?" The young master of the Valier family looked at where the voice came from with irritation. He saw the man who spoke and was about to angrily yell at the man, but then he saw the woman beside that man.
The girl he was harassing now was indeed pretty but compared to the woman he was seeing now the girl was nothing more than a toad. The woman beside the man was so beautiful that he couldn\'t believe that she was anything less than a Goddess.
The young master of the Valier family licked his lips as his lower region was getting harder simply looking at the Goddess like woman.
"Hey did you hear me? Let that woman go already." The young master who was entranced by Silika\'s beauty once again heard Ren\'s voice and grew even more irritated. Still, he decided to ignore Ren and went ahead and talked to Silika.
"Woman ditch that man and come to me." The young master gave out an order to Silika while ignoring Ren, which made the two look at him dumbfounded.
"Huh? The f*ck are you talking about?" Ren was also starting to get a tad irritated by this weakling\'s attitude towards him and Silika.
"Günter," the young master called one of his bodyguards.
"Yes, young master." The man called Günter stepped forward and bowed.
"Cripple that guy and take the girl." The young master gave out the order like it was such a bother.
"As you wish young master."
