Translator: 549690339
Under the twin moons, a gentle night breeze blew, and in the outskirts of Cyan Town, there was a small grove.
“Lord, the people you wanted are here,” said Gideon Black, who had a large figure, as he elegantly walked up to Leo Ray and respectfully saluted him.
Behind him were an old and a young man, both of whom exuded an extraordinary aura.
With a slight nod, Leo Ray, who was leaning against a large tree, took a step forward and looked at the two people in front of him.
One of them was none other than Mason Banks, the chief appraiser of Sanders’ Trading Conference, whom he had met before. The close-fitting brocade robe and chest muscles that seemed to be carved from the same mold as Gideon’s were undoubtedly unforgettable.
As for the other person, Leo Ray couldn’t help but look at them a few more times.
The slender figure was dressed in a set of well-fitting white knight’s casual clothes.
The style of these clothes was a combination of a tailcoat and modern military attire, giving off a sense of chivalry.
The long hair tied up, along with the hint of determination on the fair, delicate face, perfectly captured this feeling.
Leo Ray couldn’t help but praise it in his heart.
Undoubtedly, this was the second female knight he had seen today.
Compared to the Palace Guard Knight from the Saint Night Kingdom, this Coldflame Kingdom’s female knight appeared more mature and steady, and less impulsive and domineering.
“Old sir, we meet again,” said Leo Ray, wearing a slight smile and with his waist carrying a longsword, as he spoke first.
At this point, only Taylor and Gideon Black were with him, both of whom had suppressed their auras to the lowest level.
Meanwhile, Serena Clark, Stella Clark, and Scarlett, who had changed into Tier 4 weapons, were still hidden under their Invisibility Cloaks.
“Are you… the lord from yesterday afternoon?”
Although he hadn’t seen Leo Ray’s face, Mason Banks hadn’t forgotten the familiar voice and quickly saluted with a clenched fist.
To his surprise, his old face was filled with astonishment.
Just yesterday afternoon, this young lord was still at the Tier 1 Nine-Star level, but today, he had already stepped into the realm of Tier 2.
Even a Tier 1 Peak Strength fighter with good talent would not be able to advance so quickly without years of hard training day and night.
It seemed that this lord was indeed hiding his true strength.
Smiling and nodding, Leo Ray then turned to the tall and beautiful female knight beside him and nodded slightly, saying, “You must be the president of the Sanders’ Trading Conference and the Cyan Town branch, right?”
“Indeed, my name is Linda Sanders. May I ask for your esteemed name?”
While secretly observing the extraordinary young man in front of her, Linda politely placed her left hand on her chest and slightly bowed forward.
“…Call me Christopher,” Leo Ray replied after a moment’s hesitation and with a faint smile.
There was no doubt that both in appearance and demeanor, this young female knight exceeded his expectations.
“Then, may I ask what the purpose of Mr. Christopher summoning us here so late at night is?” Immediately afterward, Linda blinked her eyelashes and a puzzled expression appeared on her pretty face.
“Of course, it’s to help you, ” Leo Ray leisurely walked up to her and replied nonchalantly with a slight smile.
At this moment, he could clearly see the beautiful curves that were on full display under Linda’s slightly tight-fitting knight attire, bathed in the moonlight.
Linda’s face, a mixture of elegance and nobility, coupled with the natural filter of the bright moonlight, was truly a sight to make one’s eyes dazzle.
“Help me? What do you mean, Your Excellency?”Hearing this, Linda, who had been suppressed for a long time due to the deliberate suppression and targeting of the family’s main branch during the family meeting, couldn’t help but feel a jolt in her heart, but she didn’t show it on her face.
It goes without saying that in the face of all the unknowns, she would naturally not expose her own weak side to this unfamiliar young man.
“Let me make it even clearer.”
Such a reaction from her was clearly within Leo Ray’s expectation.
He first gave a wry smile, and then his gentle eyes suddenly turned sharp.
With his piercing gaze fixed on Linda’s eyes, he slowly said, “I will help you climb to the top of the Sanders family, stepping on the heads of all those main family members who once looked down on you.”
“What?!”
As soon as Leo Ray’s calm and resolute words fell, both Linda and Mason Banks beside her showed incredulous expressions, and their shocked faces, old and young, could hardly be more different.
The Sanders family is one of the top powerhouses in the Coldflame Kingdom.
The family is full of talented people, having a decisive influence in the military, political, and business sectors of the kingdom.
Not to mention confronting the entire family, even a random minor branch within the family could very well be a noble of high status in the kingdom.
Moreover, the largest city directly under the family, Lionheart City, is even more extravagant and bustling as it is governed by the current patriarch, Grand Duke Harrison Shelton, whose scale and prosperity can almost rival the royal capital.
It is important to know that as the family’s number one powerhouse, Grand Duke Harrison Shelton, who just entered his prime, has already reached the level of Tier 4 senior powerhouses.
If given enough opportunities, reaching Tier 5 in his lifetime would not be an impossible feat.
By that time, the Sanders family would undoubtedly become a terrifying force capable of rivaling the Coldflame Royal Family!
“Your Excellency, are you making fun of me?”
After being stunned for a while, Linda couldn’t help but frown slightly as she stared directly at Leo Ray.
Her purpose in coming here was just to see if the other party could help her get through this difficult period. As for reaching the top of the family and sitting on the throne of Lionheart City, that was something she didn’t even dare to dream of.
She was just a small side-branch of the family; how could she have the background and qualifications to touch the position of the family head? Yet looking at the calm and unpretentious young man before her, for some reason, Linda suddenly had a strange thought.
That was that this man seemed to have no intention of false claims…
Shaking her head slightly, Linda quickly threw the inexplicable thought to the back of her mind, and her face once again adopted a resolute expression.
“Hehe, so you guys are here.”
Just as the two were in a stalemate, a sudden and chillingly playful voice broke the brief calm in the small grove.
Immediately after, the surrounding bushes shook, and shadows loomed everyvvhere.
In just a moment, Leo Ray and the others, as well as Linda and Mason Banks, were completely surrounded by at least a hundred people, all dressed as mercenaries.
Among them, there were many powerful auras comparable to those of Linda and Mason Banks.
Under the cold moonlight, a large number of shining weapons with chilly glints swayed constantly as a thick murderous aura began to spread around them.
Just when Linda and Mason Banks were both looking tense, Leo Ray’s face couldn’t help but show a hint of a smile.
“Have they finally come to my doorstep?”
