Chapter 284 The Power of the Noble Young Master
Shu Li didn't expect Hector to move so quickly.
As soon as he heard Barat's words, he felt something was wrong. His dirty thoughts were exposed. He was about to step forward to argue, but Hector got there first and kicked him away.
This kick was a good one, a brilliant one, and it was very satisfying.
Passersby stopped and stared in shock at Barat, who had been kicked to the ground. They could never imagine that someone would dare to risk offending others by kicking Barat.
It's really satisfying.
Of course, the onlookers were still afraid of Barat's power and did not dare to express their feelings clearly. They forced themselves to smile and watched the situation develop.
They wanted to see who these people were who dared to offend the local tyrants and whether they would face retaliation.
Hama, the hotel waiter, was not worried at all.
Who is Hector?
He is the young master of the Snowwo family!
Although his father passed away, his status as a young master will not change.
Hama was calm and composed. The restaurant owner heard about it and came over, standing aside and watching the show with a smile on his face.
It took Barat a while to react. He struggled to get up from the ground, enduring the pain and furious.
"Who? Who dares to kick me? Bill, Hans, go grab this damn guy! I'm going to cut him into pieces!"
He covered his sore chin with one hand and his kicked stomach with the other, and angrily ordered his two men.
"Yes, sir!"
Bill and Hans received the order, snapped their fingers, and glared at Hector fiercely.
"Boy, you're dead!"
"Do you know who our master is? If you dare to kick our master, you will leave your life behind as an atonement today! Oh, by the way, there are also these two beautiful girls——"
The man named Hans gave a lewd smile.
Hector frowned, and without waiting for the two men to get close, he moved like the wind, slapped them twice in the face, then kicked them sideways twice in a row. With two "bangs", Bill and Hans were kicked away like sacks.
"ah!"
"ah--"
The two men fell farther and harder than Barat, lying on their backs on the ground groaning in pain.
Barat was horrified, pointing at Hector with trembling fingers, and uttered incoherently with anger: "You damned fellow! How dare you act so presumptuously in the Snowwo family's territory! You...if you have the guts, just stand there! I'll...get someone to arrest you right away...you all!"
You can't blame Barat for being furious. He had been relying on his power to act arrogantly and recklessly for half a year, and no one dared to resist him. But today he hit a wall. Someone not only ruined his plans, but also injured others. His crime is unforgivable.
"You also know that this is the territory of the Snowvo family?" Hector took a step forward. His height of 1.85 meters made Barat, who was 1.6 meters tall, look extremely short, revealing his aristocratic temperament. However, what frightened Barat the most were those silver-gray eyes.
Like a wolf's eyes, sharp, cold and majestic, deep and mysterious.
He is...
Barat swallowed involuntarily, a layer of cold sweat seeping out of his forehead. He looked at the young man's facial features carefully, and the more he looked, the more familiar he felt.
"You...you are..." He opened his mouth and quickly searched his mind for memories, but because he was too nervous, his brain became a mess.
He must have seen this young man!
Definitely seen it!
Otherwise, there would not be such a strong sense of familiarity.
What was even more incredible was that he didn't even have the courage to look the young man in the eye. Unknowingly, he lost a lot of momentum.
Just as he was getting anxious, Hama, the waiter at the hotel, rolled his eyes, stepped forward deliberately and said loudly: "Oh, Master Barat, don't you know Master Hector Snowworth?"
He spoke clearly, emphasizing the words "Master Hector Snowworth" so that everyone present could hear it clearly.
Bharat finally remembered!
No wonder the more I looked at the young man, the more familiar he seemed. Turns out he was Master Hector!!!
Barat was just a small steward, usually in charge of peripheral work. He only returned to Snowo Castle once every few years. He had seen Hector only a few times, so it was natural that he didn't recognize him for a while.
Now that he knew that Hector was the young master of the Snowwo family, Barat suddenly broke out in a sweat and panicked.
A steward is still a steward after all. No matter how powerful he is, he is not greater than the young nobleman. His knees went weak and he fell to the ground.
"Master... Master Hector, please... please forgive my offense and rudeness."
Barat was so frightened that he trembled and cursed himself in his heart for being unlucky to meet Master Hector.
Didn't he go to the Saint Virya School of Magic in the courtyard two years ago to study? Why did he appear in the remote town of Puwa?
Could it be...that something happened in the past six months?
He inherited the estate of Count Oraman, so will the town of Puwa be returned to him?
But I haven’t received any news recently!
Barat looked terrified and turned to his two men and shouted, "Come over here and apologize to Master Hector!"
Bill and Hans were already terrified. When they heard Barat's roar, they rolled and crawled to their knees in front of Hector, crawling on the ground and begging for mercy.
Hector looked coldly at the three people kneeling on the ground.
As arrogant as they were just now, they are as humble now.
Even if he is a young master who has fallen from power, he still has the identity and status of a noble, and servants must never be rude to nobles.
After living in the courtyard for two years and spending a long time with the goblins, he gradually forgot his noble identity.
There is no distinction between high and low among fairies. They only believe in equality and harmony and treat everyone equally.
Influenced by them, Hector changed many of his narrow ideas.
When he encountered such a thing today, he sadly discovered that the only way to solve the problem was to show his noble status.
If possible, he doesn't want to use power to oppress others, but this method is the best way to deal with shameless guys.
He and his teammates were just passing through the town of Puwa, and time was running out. To help the mother and daughter, they could only use a simple and rough way to intimidate Barat. Barat was frightened, and naturally his behavior became more restrained.
"Puwa Town was once under the jurisdiction of my father, and now it is under the charge of my third uncle. As my third uncle's subordinate, you did not help him solve his problems, but instead committed evil deeds of bullying men and women. This is simply a disgrace to my third uncle's reputation." Hector said expressionlessly.
"Master... Master Hector! I know I was wrong! Please forgive me! I will never do it again!" Barat's fat body curled up into a ball, and he begged in sweat.
If his master knew what he did here, he would definitely fire him.
Although Kadimer Snowwo is a lazy man, he has mental mysophobia and has strict requirements on the conduct of his subordinates.
Barat pretends to be a good guy in front of Kadimer, but turns into a bully when he returns to his own territory.
The town of Powa is far away from Snowo Castle, and the news cannot be transmitted at all, so naturally no one can expose his hypocritical appearance.
Hector knew his uncle's character well, so he grabbed Barat's braid and stomped on it, leaving him unable to resist.
Barat's face was ashen, and he was filled with resentment, but he still maintained a look of fear on his face.
"How much do they owe you?" Hector pointed at the mother and daughter who were hugging each other and trembling.
Barat waved his hands repeatedly and said flatteringly: "No, no, they don't owe me money anymore, hehe..."
Hector asked, "Since they don't owe you money, what were you doing just now? Snatching someone else's child in the street?"
Barat wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Originally...her husband owed me money. Now that the young master has come forward, I'll...let it go."
Hector glanced at him coldly, then turned sideways and asked the woman gently, "Is what he said true?"
The woman looked at Hector gratefully, hugged the child in her arms, and answered in a hoarse voice: "He tricked my husband into going to the casino and losing money. He had no money to pay back the debt, so they asked Azhen to pay it back. I... I didn't want to. I wanted to escape with Azhen, but they surrounded us here."
Hector glanced around and saw a backpack next to the woman.
The backpack was damaged, probably because it was torn during the pulling process, and some worn-out clothes fell out, covered in dust.
Hector asked, "How much does your husband owe him?"
The woman bit her lip and said, "Ten...ten gold coins."
The people watching nearby were whispering.
It is too cruel to "buy" someone's daughter for ten gold coins.
Moreover, once you buy it, you don’t know how you’re going to ruin it!
Upon hearing this, the other members of Team Light all showed angry expressions. The innocent little fairy and little dragon opened their eyes wide in disbelief.
He persecuted an innocent girl's life for ten gold coins. He is such a bad person with low character.
Hector calmed down and asked the woman, "Where is your husband?"
The woman said in shame and anger, "He...he ran away three days ago."
Hector groaned and said, “If you want to divorce him, I can help you.”
The woman's eyes lit up, and she looked at Hector expectantly, and asked in a trembling voice: "Really...really?"
It was difficult for ordinary people to divorce. Without legitimate reasons, there was no official support. Moreover, living alone with children was fraught with difficulties. Many married women who were bullied by their husbands simply did not have the courage to file for divorce.
The woman had long been disappointed with her gambler husband, but she could not divorce him and could only live a miserable life.
This time, the husband used his daughter to pay off the debt, and the woman wanted to stab him to death with a knife.
Now that she heard Master Hector say he would help her get a divorce, she couldn't ask for more.
"Master! Please help me!" She knelt on the ground with her daughter, her attitude firm, "I want a divorce! I want to live alone with my daughter!"
Hector nodded and bent down to help them up. "Don't worry, as long as you agree, I will help you get a divorce. As for the debt owed by your ex-husband, let him pay it himself."
Evildoers will be punished by evildoers, and you should take responsibility for your own mistakes.
"Barat, do you know what to do?" he asked in a deep voice.
"I know, I know!" Barat responded repeatedly.
Hector showed an arrogant expression. "You can go now."
"Yes, yes, we'll leave right away!" Barat breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he could leave, and stood up tremblingly.
After kneeling for so long, my legs became numb.
With the support of two men, he bent over and slowly backed away.
Hector warned him: “Remember your identity and don’t embarrass my third uncle!”
"Yes, yes, I won't dare to do it again." Barat assured again and again, and left with his two men in disgrace.
As soon as they left, excited cheers rang out all around.
The residents of Puwa Town had been oppressed by Barat for a long time. Seeing him suffer a setback for the first time, they were overjoyed and thanked Hector sincerely.
The fellow Hama even gave Hector a thumbs up.
Hector blushed slightly at the praise of everyone, and once his intimidating aura subsided, he immediately revealed his shy side.
"Hey, Hector, you're awesome!" Desio winked at him.
"I just did what I should do." Hector scratched his burning ears, "Um... I'll take them to handle the divorce procedures first. Can you wait in the hotel for a while?"
Shu Li smiled and said, "Let's go together!"
Instead of letting them wait bored in the restaurant, why not take action together?
Hector looked at his friends' bright eyes and said with a smile: "Okay!"
So, the group took the mother and daughter to the place where the divorce was handled.
On the way, Shu Li curiously asked Kumandi, "What did you write in the notebook just now?"
While Hector was taking care of things, Kumandi took out a notebook and wrote quickly.
Kumandi said seriously, "Record the whole incident and submit it to the newspaper."
"Huh?" Shu Li was surprised and looked at Hector.
Will this have a negative impact on the Snowwo family?
Hector waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just submit your article."
He didn't care about the reputation of the Snowver family.
An ancient family that has existed for a long time will always harbor some filth and corruption. If you want a good reputation, you should rectify your family traditions, restrain your words and deeds, and eliminate the bad elements.
Snowwo's ancestors used the snow wolf as their family emblem to promote the spirit of bravery, loyalty, tenacity and justice.
Today's Snowwo family has long gone against this spirit.
Seeing that Hector didn't mind, Kumandi said, "I will be realistic."
Hector said sincerely: "Thank you."
Half an hour later, the woman successfully obtained the divorce papers.
With the help of Hector, Master Snowworth, the staff in charge of marriage and divorce did not dare to neglect it at all, and they successfully completed the divorce even when the woman's husband was not present.
When the woman received the divorce papers, she cried and laughed, and once again pulled her daughter to kneel down and thank Hector.
Hector helped them up and gave her twenty gold coins.
How could the woman dare to accept his money? She quickly declined. The young master had helped her so much, she couldn't take his money.
"Keep it. Take Azhen to the Magic Association for testing. If she has the potential to become a magician, train her well." Hector said.
Only by becoming a magician can they change their fate.
"Can I...can I become a magician?" Azhen asked in disbelief.
"You won't know until you try." Hector bent down and touched her dry yellow hair. "I think you can do it. Believe in yourself."
After becoming a magician, one has an additional magical induction ability, which can tell whether a person has magical potential.
Shu Li had the highest magic level and the strongest intuition. He agreed, "Hector is right. You have to believe in yourself."
Ah Zhen wiped her cat-like face, and a determined look appeared in her big eyes. "Yes!"
She wants to be a magician and give her mother a good life.
The woman accepted the twenty gold coins, thanked him repeatedly, and happily took Ah Zhen to the Magic Association.
Hector relaxed his brows and went back to the hotel with his friends.
He could only help them up to this point; they had to walk the future path on their own.
Only after they were protected by the Magic Association and left, Barat dared not embarrass them again.
Before leaving Puwa Town, Hector asked the hotel owner to take good care of the mother and daughter, and he would come back here after his adventure was over.
The restaurant owner nodded repeatedly and agreed readily.
The Light Squad boarded the carriage, slowly left the town of Puwa, and continued heading north.
At the house of Steward Snowvo, Barat smashed the teacup in anger.
"Master, are we done with this?" Bill asked.
"Of course not!" Barat gritted his teeth.
"That's right!" Hans curled his lips. "As long as Master Hector leaves, he won't be able to stop us from trying to snatch Ah Zhen again."
"Idiot!" Barat slapped Hans on the back of the head.
Hans was stunned. "Master, am I wrong?"
"Bullshit!" Barat's face was gloomy. "Mia is divorced, so we have no reason to ask her to pay back the debt. Azhen can't touch it."
Hans looked regretful. "I quite like Zhen's little face."
Barat kicked him. "Now is not the time to play with women. Think about how to deal with the master next."
The real threat to them is their master.
Once the owner knows what they are doing here, all their previous efforts will be in vain.
Bill and Hans' faces turned pale. "Master...what should we do? Master Hector will definitely tell the master."
Barat paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his fat face becoming increasingly gloomy.
After a while, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Kill him!"
Bill and Hans were stunned.
Barat said coldly: "As long as you seal his mouth, the master will not know what happened."
Bill swallowed and asked in shock, "Master, what do you mean..."
He raised his hand and scratched his neck.
Hans stared in horror. How could the master have thought of such a treasonous thing?
Barat slammed his palm on the table and said coldly: "Anyway, Master Hector's father is dead, he has lost his qualification as an heir and is nothing. If he dies on an adventure, it won't cause an uproar."
Bill and Hans looked at each other and said flatteringly, "Master is right!"
Barat said, "Go, get the money and find the mercenaries, and ask them to kill Hector."
Bill asked hesitantly, "What about the others?"
There were more than ten people traveling with Master Hector. Were they all killed?
Barat said, "Kill the men and leave the women alone."
Hans asked, "Will it be expensive?"
The price of mercenaries is not cheap. The amount of remuneration is calculated not only by the number of people, but also by the difficulty of the task.
Bill said worriedly, "What level is Master Hector now? What level are his friends? We know nothing!"
Barat waved his hand and patted their backs. "How could I have such foolish men like you? Two years ago, Master Hector was a magic apprentice. No matter how talented he was, he would still be just an apprentice magician two years later. His companions are all relatively young. How powerful can they be?"
Bill covered his head and gave a thumbs-up. "Master, you are wise!"
"Get out of here!" Barat kicked him in the butt.
Bill covered his butt and left the hall with Hans.
Bharat sat on the sofa and smiled sinisterly.
"Master Hector, don't blame me if you die. Who told you to meddle in other people's business? Hehehe——"
The Light Team's carriage traveled for half a day and entered the wild mountains and forests. As the sky gradually darkened, they had to stop and find a place sheltered from the wind to set up camp.
There was no village in front and no shop behind, so we had to sleep in the wild.
Everyone was an old hand and they lit a fire, set up the tent and prepared dinner with ease.
Farmu jumped out of the Seal of the God of Fire, turned into a red light and flew towards the distant Monster Forest to hunt for food.
With its big appetite, the dry food brought by the Light Team is not enough to fill its stomach, so it can only fly to the Warcraft Forest as fast as possible and fend for itself.
Shu Li placed an iron pot, a must-have for adventures, on the fire, poured clean water into it using water magic, and then added cereal, milk, honey, and sugar.
Ace helped him, taking out the bread and putting it on the fire. He had good technique, keeping a certain distance and constantly turning it to prevent it from burning.
Everyone else was busy with their own things, doing their own things in an orderly manner.
Suddenly, Ace put down the bread and looked up at the dark forest.
Shu Li asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Ace frowned. "Maybe there's a beast."
Shu Li said, "Don't be nervous. Just drive away the wild beasts if they come."
Without Farm, the wild beasts grew bolder and dared to approach the camp to attack them. However, with their abilities, the wild beasts were nothing to be afraid of, and in the end, they became their dinner.
Amanda likes to eat meat.
Ace frowned and said, "Eat dinner first. Only when you are full will you have the energy to fight."
Shu Li chuckled: "Isn't that so?"
Dinner was ready, and everyone gathered around the fire, happily drinking oatmeal and milk soup, eating toast with butter, and nibbling on delicious fruits. They chatted from time to time, joked with each other, and the atmosphere was full of laughter.
In the distance, ten mercenaries hiding in the bushes observed them coldly.
Laugh, laugh, laugh more while you are still alive, because when you die, you won’t be able to laugh anymore.
"Boss, when are we going to take action?" Mercenary No. 1 asked the leader.
"We'll take action when they fall asleep." The leader took a bite of cold and hard beef jerky and was in a bad mood.
They lay here feeding mosquitoes and chewing beef jerky, while those guys were happily drinking hot soup and eating hot food.
"I heard there are two beauties. Hiss... Boss, after killing the men, let us enjoy the women?" Mercenary No. 2 said with a lecherous look.
The leader spat out the beef and said, "Don't fight with me for it!"
Mercenary No. 2 quickly said, "That's right, that's right, Boss first, I'm second!"
Mercenary No. 1 curled his lips and said, "I don't want beautiful women, I just want more money."
The leader sneered: "Shut up and wait quietly."
All the mercenaries shut their mouths, lay down in the grass, endured the bites of mosquitoes, and waited for the apprentice magicians in the camp in the distance to fall asleep.
However, after waiting for a long time, the group of apprentice magicians were still chatting around the fire.
The mercenaries looked depressed.
If these apprentice magicians don't fall asleep, they will be carried away by mosquitoes.
Just as the leader was wondering whether to go ahead and do it, a childish voice suddenly sounded above his head.
"Hey, who are you? What are you doing lying here?"
The mercenaries were horrified.
Damn it!
Where did these children come from in this desolate mountain forest? With their strength, how could they not detect the other party's aura?
Could it be...that I encountered a ghost?
"Boss! Did you hear any sound?" asked the mercenary No. 1 with chattering teeth.
The leader clenched his weapon tightly and said angrily, "Who! Come out! Stop playing tricks!"
"Tsk, look at how cowardly you are!"
A red light appeared in front of the mercenaries, and "pa pa pa" was the sound of flapping wings.
The leader stared at the round red little milk beast in front of him, dumbfounded.
