Last Totem Novel - Chapter 306
Chapter 306 Layton
A moment later, the current leader of the Blackstone Mercenary Group rushed to the living room alone under the notice of Earth Leopard.
From the situation described by Earth Leopard, it seemed that the other party had instantly dispersed the two reformers, so it was meaningless for him to bring as many people as possible. Why don’t you show some sincerity and ask about your intentions before making your next plan? Even if the opponent was a Saint realm expert, he had to take care of the big boss behind them, the Rogers. No matter what, the Rogers were one of the eight noble forces in Sand City. At the same time, they were also one of the four great clans that had occupied Sand City for many years. Moreover, they also had a thin bloodline relationship with the “New Lombar” clan in the Golden Triangle. Even if the people above came, their status could not be completely ignored.
“Friend, if you have something to discuss, please sit down and discuss it properly. Don’t be impulsive.” The current Blackstone Guild Leader said. Actually, he didn’t know that the previous Guild Leader had died at the hands of the person in front of him.
“Dingdang …”
The gray-robed man did not say anything. Instead, he raised his hand and threw a badge in front of Guild Leader Blackstone. The latter picked it up and glanced at it. He was immediately shocked and almost couldn’t hold the badge steadily. After seeing the bauhinia pattern on the badge, the leader of Blackstone immediately straightened his body and respectfully placed the badge in front of the grey-robed man with both hands.
Lombar was the main bloodline, while New Lombar was the branch. The Rogers relied most on their distant bloodline relationship with New Lombar, and their Blackstone Mercenary Group was only one of the many pawns under the Rogers. Of course, if the person standing in front of him was an ordinary person with no fighting strength, he wouldn’t be so respectful. If he really offended her, he would bury her after killing her. After all, this was Sand City, the parish’s neutral zone. No matter how high the other party’s status was, it was meaningless. However, if this person possessed extraordinary combat power, then there would be a fundamental difference. If the other party was unhappy for a moment and directly annihilated them, the Rogers would have no choice but to act as if nothing had happened in the end when facing such a huge force.
Guild Leader Blackstone bowed and said, “I don’t know if the distinguished guest has arrived. I’m disrespectful, disrespectful …” Then, he took the money bag and returned it to Ye Xinyun, who was standing beside Tie Zha with both of his hands.
“I don’t want to see this person again.” Before leaving, Tie Zha looked at Earth Leopard and casually said.
In an instant, the air seemed to have solidified …
In the next moment, a trace of malice flashed through the eyes of the leader of Blackstone. He suddenly pulled out the Silver Star Pistol from his waist and threw it at the Earth Leopard with a stunned expression.
“Bang!” After a muffled sound, the Earth Leopard’s head exploded like a watermelon. Brain fluid splashed everywhere, and the red ladle and white shell scattered all over the ground, causing people to be shocked and almost vomit.
After leaving the stronghold of the Blackstone Mercenary Group, Tie Zha patted Ye Xinyun’s shoulder and said, “I’ll give you the rest of the money. Go home.” There were a thousand gold coins in the purse just now. When Guild Leader Blackstone returned it, he had two hundred gold coins. Now, there was a total of 1,200 gold coins in the purse. It wasn’t that he didn’t have money, but he couldn’t give too much money to Ye Xinling’s family. He had never been stingy with his own women, but their family was an ordinary family and did not have much ability. If they had more money, they would easily attract people’s envy and attract others to peep at them, causing them to encounter a catastrophe. After this incident, as long as the Lombardi Clan was still alive, the Blackstone Mercenary Group would never dare to have any ideas about the Ye Xinling Clan. As for the other underground forces, they should have heard of it. A skinny prey with a pack of bloodthirsty beasts lying on its back probably wouldn’t interest any hunter unless the hunter’s brain was wet.
Ye Xinyun’s thoughts were still stuck in the shock just now, completely unable to react. By the time he regained his senses, the other party had already disappeared from his sight and disappeared without a trace.
Half an hour later …
Tie Zha crossed a long gravel path, climbed hundreds of stairs, climbed up a short mountain in the eastern part of Sand City, and arrived in front of an old mansion. The large house is rectangular and is made of large stones. The windows are floor-to-ceiling, the upper part is arched, and the lower part is long. It is a typical architectural style of the central and western continents. Most of the houses in the central continent were made of large stones, which made them look simple and heavy, while the western continent liked to use slender arched French windows, which could not only bring sufficient light, but also not lose its mysterious feeling.
This was the residence of the Heretical Manor, the head of the Four Great Families of Sand City.
Their current generation is headed by Layton Seelaus, the biological father of Lena Euclid. Because Lena was an illegitimate daughter, according to the Silver City World Nobility System, she did not have the right to inherit, nor could she use her father’s surname. She could only use her mother’s surname. But to be exact, Euclid was not her mother’s surname, but her grandmother’s.
As soon as Tie Zha approached the manor, two guards in first-generation psionic armor came up and blocked his way, asking, “Sir, you have entered the territory of the Hiroshi Clan. Please state your intentions immediately.”
Tie Zha lifted his hood and said, “This is Tie Zha. I want to see Layton Ciros.”
The two guards looked at each other immediately. Then, one of them asked, “Mr. Tie Zha, do you have an appointment?”
“No.” Tie Zha replied.
“Then please go back.” The guard said politely. The person in front of him had an indifferent and calm temperament. He did not look like a person without an identity. If it was someone else, he would probably loudly reprimand the other party for leaving.
“Go in and inform Layton. He will definitely see me.” Tie Zha said indifferently, his tone unquestionable.
The two guards looked at each other again. One of them quickly ran back to the door and informed the butler. A few minutes later, the housekeeper informed the housekeeper and gave the situation back to the guards.
As soon as the guard finished speaking, he ran back to Tie Zha angrily and shouted with a frown, “Let’s go! Our Patriarch doesn’t know you.”
Tie Zha was stunned. Although he had never seen Layton before, Layton definitely knew of his existence. After all, he had spent more than three years with Lena in Iron Mountain Town. Even if Layton was in seclusion, there was no way he didn’t know anything about him. Layton’s reaction was clearly playing dumb.
“Hurry up and leave!” Another guard urged.
Tie Zha glanced at them left and right and slowly turned around. Just as the two guards thought that he was leaving, he suddenly turned around and swept his fist across.
“Bang!”
With a dull sound, the guard on the left flew out. The guard on the right was greatly shocked, but before he could make a defensive stance, he was kicked to the ground by the grey-robed man. Just as he was about to get up, an irresistible impact came from his chest, causing him to lie back on the ground.
Right here, the two guards inside the door saw the conflict outside and hurriedly rushed out. However, they did not rush forward rashly. Instead, they first sounded the alarm, then maintained a distance of several meters from the grey-robed man, and made a defensive posture.
Seconds later, the butler walked out and called for the guards to stop. Then, he brought Tie Zha into Syros Manor.
“Are you new here?” Tie Zha asked casually as he walked along the path in the vestibule.
“It’s been a few years.” The butler replied.
“Not more than three years, right?” Tie Zha asked.
“How did you know?” The butler stopped and asked in surprise. In his memory, he had never seen this young man.
“I killed Steward Song last time.” Tie Zha grinned and said.
“This” The butler’s entire body trembled. After a moment of daze, he silently turned around and continued to lead the way.
Not long after, Tie Zha saw an old man who was over half a century old in the living room. He had a very sturdy physique, a large skeleton, and was over two meters tall. He had a serious poker face, his hair was completely white, and his temples were filled with frost. He had short, flat hair and a rosy complexion. Although they had never met before, he could tell that the old man in front of him was Eldest Sister’s father, Layton Ciros. Because between their father and daughter, the skeleton that was far more extraordinary than humans, comparable to Elda’s, was extremely rare among humans.
At least for so many years, he had never seen a woman taller than Lena. Even Elda, who was from Suyu, was only slightly taller than Lena, and her skeleton was still not as big as Lena’s. If it weren’t for Lena’s curvaceous figure and her distinctive feminine features, she would have mistaken her skeleton for a sturdy and reckless man.
Tie Zha had once compared the old cow to her. The reason was very simple. The old cow’s body was not big anywhere, but its skeleton was big enough. Tie Zha had always guessed that the old cow’s nickname came from his skeleton-the bone of a cow and the first-rate soup. Tie Zha had even thought that if he used all of his strength to slash, the blade might not be able to break the old cow’s bones if it was missing. However, although the old cow’s skeleton was thick, it was a size smaller than Lena’s.
At this moment, there was also a man and a woman in the living room. They were both brown-haired, with black pupils. Their appearances were similar to Lena’s, and their skeletons were slightly larger, but they were slightly smaller than Lena’s. It seemed that the hair color, pupil color, and skeletal frame were all the hereditary traits of the Cherokee Clan.
“You’re Tie Zha?” The young man asked. His name was Hillman Hiroth, Layton’s eldest son and Lena’s eldest brother.
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded.
“How old are you this year?” The young woman looked at the young man in front of her curiously and couldn’t help but ask. Her name was Syris Syros, Layton’s fourth daughter and Lena’s second sister.
“Twenty-one.” Tie Zha said truthfully.
“So small ~” Syris couldn’t help but sigh.
For a moment, Tie Zha was speechless and didn’t answer.
“Boy from Tieshan Town, you killed my butler three years ago. I still haven’t settled the score with you. You actually have the guts to come to your door. Aren’t you afraid of death?” Layton Ciros said in a rough voice.
“I’m here for Lena. Has she been home recently?” Tie Zha asked straightforwardly.
“Who are you? What qualifications do you have to inquire about her whereabouts?” Layton asked in a deep voice.
“It’s that simple for me to find my woman.” Tie Zha shrugged and said casually.
Looking at Tie Zha’s arrogant attitude, Layton was so angry that veins appeared on his forehead. He stood up and pointed at him and cursed, “Where did you get that brat! When did my daughter become your woman?”
“Father, please calm down. Isn’t he just a wild child? Don’t argue with him. Be careful of getting angry.” Syris hurriedly walked forward, stroking Layton’s chest while maintaining his composure.
“Iron Mountain Town’s brat, this is the Xerox Clan, not a place for you to act wildly. If you are arrogant, I will chase you out.” Hillman shouted at Tie Zha as he lifted his sleeves.
However, although the two siblings said so, they secretly winked at Tie Zha in unison, roughly meaning, “Speak properly, don’t be impulsive.”
Seeing this, Tie Zha scratched his hair first, then grinned and said with some curiosity, “Respected Big Boss Layton, I’m Lena Euclid’s subordinate. I came here to ask about the whereabouts of the Little Boss.”
“Little sister’s errand boy is not sensible, so don’t be like him.” Syris whispered softly.
“Yes, yes, yes, father. What does a garbage-picking kid know? It’s not bad if he can speak human language.” Hillman agreed.
Listening to the two siblings exchanging words, Tie Zha felt that his entire person was not good. Although they were speaking for him, he didn’t appreciate it at all.
As the atmosphere gradually eased, Layton reluctantly pointed at the sofa, signaling Tie Zha to sit down and speak.
