<span style="background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline">...
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">A powerful aura slowly rose from the man in front of them.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The numerous dark guards raised their cold glinting daggers, holding them across their chests as they red coldly at the person atop the iron cage.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">They could sense the immense strength emanating from this man before them.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Leon''s expression also grew solemn. She narrowed her eyes and whispered to the crowd behind her:
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Protect Lady Lia."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">But Lia showed no fear. She simply folded her arms beneath her chest, coldly staring at the man before her.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The man looked somewhat unkempt, with stubble on his chin and worn-out clothes.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">It was a stark contrast to the ornate great sword on his back.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">He was a somewhat famous adventurer from the south.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Known as the "Berserker" warrior - Cindy Kaia.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Three years ago, he was already a peak third-tier warrior with formidablebat prowess.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Of course, to put it nicely, he was an adventurer.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">In reality, the profession of adventurer was just another type of mercenary who would do anything for money.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">For a long time, Cindy Kaia had disappeared from adventurer circles.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">When he reappeared, he was wielding a luxurious greatsword and had killed his former employer, defecting to the Reiser family.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">It was said that the sword he carried was a gift from the Reiser family to win him over.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">As such a "renowned" adventurer and now apdog of the Reiser family,
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Lia naturally recognized the man before her.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Seeing this, she sneered mockingly:
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"What do we have here? A dog of the Reiser family,ing to my territory to throw a fit?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Cindy jumped down from atop the cage, standing in front of the path cut through the cage, blocking the beastkin''s escape route.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"I wouldn''t dare, Lady Lia," he said.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"It''s just that these goods are very important to us... Could you perhaps turn a blind eye and let us take them away?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">His tone was very sincere.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">However, hearing his words, the cat girls in the iron cage behind him became frightened and started to panic.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Help... help us..."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Before they could finish speaking, Cindy drew the greatsword from his back and mmed it hard against the iron cage.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The cage shook violently, apanied by Cindy''s warning voice:
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"All of you be quiet! I don''t want to damage the merchandise."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Under this extremely threatening tone, they fearfully closed their eyes, not daring to make another sound.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">As Cindy''s voice rang out, several warriors wielding weapons emerged from the surrounding darkness.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">They slowly advanced towards Lia and her group, almost encircling them.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Seeing this, Lia clicked her tongue twice:
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"And if I don''t want to let you take them away?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Cindy sighed.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"That would be a shame, Lady Lia."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Apart from you, I''m afraid all of your dark guards would have to die here."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Lia''s gaze instantly turned cold as she stared at Cindy:
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Causing trouble in my territory and wanting to kill my people?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Are you not taking my Kravina family seriously, or has Viktor''s absence for a few days made you itch for punishment again?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Cindy shrugged, adopting an indifferent attitude as he said:
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Lady Lia, I''m just someone who does jobs for money."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Besides, when did I say I was going to kill your people?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">He looked over the dark guards beside Lia, his eyes shing with greed.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Well-trained beastkin ves are quite valuable..."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"How could I bear to waste them?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The surrounding warriors slowly closed in, forcing Lia''s dark guards to continuously shrink their standing space.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Seeing this, Lia let out a slight sigh:
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">She had figured it out.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">That merchant called Hanna was deliberately pushed out by these ve traders.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Through the method of being forced to confess, they lured her into this trap.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Perhaps I''ve been spending too little time in my territorytely, making you develop some misconceptions."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">In the Karensia Empire, which had no very system, the act of buying and selling ves was a crime.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Simrly, smuggling beastkin into the country was also a criminal offense.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">However, if these two points werebined...
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The ve traders only needed to find an excuse to avoid their crimes.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The beastkin could be said to have been discovered in some forest within the empire.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Or they could im the beastkin had smuggled themselves into the empire and were just caught by them.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Whatever the reason, as long as they could exin that they didn''t intentionally bring the beastkin into the empire,
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Then the ve traders could sell them to anyone under the guise of capturing and freely disposing of beastkin.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">As always, beastkin had no human rights.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">However, in the Kravina territory, even if these beastkin disappeared, no one would dare say anything.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Because beastkin had no rights, even if this "merchandise" was robbed, the ve traders could only swallow their bitterness silently.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">But now...
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"You think that by relying on the Reiser family, you cane and test the Kravina family?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Clearly, only the support from the Reiser family could give these ve traders the courage to seek revenge and rebel.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">These beastkin ves were undoubtedly meant to be transported to the south.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">As soon as she finished speaking, Lia slowly raised one hand.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">On that delicate hand, she wore a ck fingerless glove.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Six differently colored gems glittered brilliantly under the moonlight.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Lia smiled as she looked at the warriors surrounding her, her tone filled with disdain.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"You seem to think..."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"That you have victory in the bag?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Suddenly, she flipped her palm, and a violently burning me erupted from her hand.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The zing light illuminated the entire port incredibly brightly.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">It seemed as if it would incinerate everything around.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Countless people widened their eyes, looking at Lia with shocked and disbelieving gazes.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">They seemed to have realized something, but it was already toote.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">[Third-tier Magic: Explosive me]
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Instantly, along with the instantly formed magic circle, surging hot mes shot straight into the sky.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The mes immediately flew upwards, transforming into a cloud of fire.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Constantly falling towards the ground were huge and scorching fireballs.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The intense heat light mmed hard into the surging sea surface, causing a burst of white steam to rise and envelop the entire port.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Fireballs continued to fall, creating one fire pit after another on the surrounding ground.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The scorching temperature seemed capable of baking even the ground until it cracked.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Countless people stared wide-eyed at the crimson sky.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"A... a third-tier mage?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Wasn''t it said that the youngdy of the Kravina family was just an ordinary person? This intelligence must bepletely wrong!"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">These warriors, with an average strength of only second-tier, were helpless in the face of such a terrifying third-tier magic.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Even Cindy stumbled back several steps in bewilderment, moving away from the range of the falling fire rain.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">There were many more warriors who were closer to the magic.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The moment the mes licked their bodies, they suddenly erupted into violent fires.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The mes engulfed thempletely, leaving only red-hot armor and charred bodies.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">With a thunderous sound, the burned warriors fell to the ground one after another.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">They didn''t even have a chance to resist.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"The Kravina family... actually has two genius mages?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">A hint of surprise shed in Cindy''s eyes.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">It seemed somewhat reasonable that if Viktor could be a fourth-tier mage at the age of twenty-nine,
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">His sister Lia being a third-tier mage made some sense.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">But...
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"This level is not enough, Lady Lia."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Cindy smiled and swung the luxurious greatsword behind him.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">A fierce sword wind howled out.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Under that sword wind, the mes burning all over the ground seemed to be covered by a white dusty smoke,pletely dissipating.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">At the same time, a powerful blood energy emanated from Cindy''s body.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Fourth-tier.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">This was also reasonable. Three years ago, Cindy was already a peak third-tier warrior.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">After three years of umtion, plus the cultivation from the countless wealth of the Reiser family,
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Even a dog could sessfully advance in rank.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">So Lia didn''t feel surprised. She just calmly looked at Cindy, her gaze seeming to hold a hint of mockery.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">After the mes were extinguished, Cindy looked at the flickering remnants of fire and saw Lia and her people surrounded by the mes.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">He wanted to say something to demonstrate his strength, but as if realizing something, Cindy suddenly froze.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Between the mes, it seemed... someone was missing?
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Cindy instantly became alert, a chill suddenly rising at the back of his head.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">He instinctively raised his greatsword and turned to block.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">A silver dagger shed with the greatsword, but almost in the blink of an eye, a second dagger suddenly thrust out from the darkness.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Swoosh!
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">A sharp wind tore through, leaving a long bloody gash on Cindy''s face.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">He swung his greatsword, unleashing a violent sword wind that forced Leon back dozens of meters.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">After doing all this, Cindy shouldered his greatsword.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The blood energy appearing on his body seemed to grow even more intense.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">A violent aura coursed through his meridians, and Cindy''s eyes turned blood-red.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Along his body, his muscles seemed to swell slightly.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The tattered clothes wrapped around his body couldn''t help but burst open,pletely torn apart.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">He was like a beast poised to strike.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Tsk, I''ve changed my mind."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"I''ll kill you all now."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Then I''ll take the money and run. The Kravina family can settle their grudges with the Reiser family."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">He grinned, a chilling intent along with intense violence surging towards Lia.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"No matter how powerful Viktor is, he''s just a newly advanced fourth-tier mage."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"The same goes for you, just a third-tier mage."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"I''ve killed plenty of third-tier mages like you before."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">But under this threat, Lia shrugged without the slightest panic.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"There''s something you should know in advance."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">She spread her hands, her eyes holding a hint of yfulness.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"When did I ever say I was a mage?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Huh?"
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Cindy was slightly stunned.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">He hadn''t yet grasped Lia''s meaning, but in a daze, Cindy felt it.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Behind him, the sense of crisis came again.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">He thought it was Lia''s annoying dark guard again, so he raised his greatsword and swung it forcefully towards his back.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">But the next second...
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">A giant hand made ofva firmly grasped the greatsword.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">In a sh, Cindy seemed to see a ck windbreaker flicker before him.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Soon after, the other party extended a hand.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">He didn''t even see the speed of the other person''s movement before his neck was firmly gripped.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Ugh..."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">His body was slowly lifted, his feet leaving the ground as he was raised towards the sky.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The greatsword slipped from his hand, but it didn''t fall. Instead, it was tightly gripped by thatva giant hand.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Cindy struggled with his muscr body.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">But his body, which he had been so proud of, felt like a burden at this moment.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The constant struggling and the weight of his body only made him more suffocated.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">He tried to use his hands to pry open the hand of the man in front of him.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">But it waspletely useless.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">No matter how he pped or struggled against that unknown, immense strength,
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The man before him remained unmoved.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">He could only see the sh of azure in the other''s eyes.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Streams of runes and magical power flowed continuously along his arm.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">[Strength Boost (Medium)]
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">[Strength Boost (Large)]
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">[Strength Boost (Huge)]
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">As the air in his body gradually depleted, Cindy began to feel suffocated.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">In his daze, he saw a one-eyed ck crow standing on the man''s shoulder.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">The crow''s eyes also shed with that eerie azure color.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"What were you saying just now? Something about a fourth-tier mage? Sorry, I didn''t quite catch that."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">Viktor''s cold gaze seemed to carry an extreme killing intent.
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">He spoke each word slowly and deliberately...
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"You."
<span style="vertical-align:baseline">"Could you say that again?"
