Chapter 23: Provocation (Seeking Votes and Bookmarks)

  You are too great, the new list ranking is rising very well and strong! Hehe, let's top it again!

  "Young master is different from before."

  "Yes, it's higher than before and not as easy to be shy."

  "And another thing, young master's way of speaking is also a bit like old master's now..."

  Li Junshan and Kaul walked towards the backyard, suddenly heard several maids' gossiping voices from behind the house, the two exchanged a smile, also without making a sound.

  "Ah! I've seen the old master and young master." Several maids came out from behind the house, carrying basins, and were startled to see the old master and young master appear before them, hastily bowing their heads in greeting.

  Knowing that the old master was kind and gentle, the young master didn't have a bad temper either. Although the maids were a bit frightened, they weren't too scared. Seeing the old master nodding at them, the young master even smiled slightly. After they walked by, the maids giggled and chattered as they walked away.

  "Father, if I'm not mistaken, it must have been York who kidnapped me." Li Junshan said in a low voice after seeing that there was no one in the backyard.

  "What?" Krael's body shook with surprise and anger, saying: "Is it really him?"

  "It can't be wrong." Li Junshan said: "Our family has no power or influence, who would dare to bully us. Moreover, I once heard those kidnappers say that the purpose of kidnapping me is to cut off our family line and then use pressure to force you, Father, to give up your title."

  He sneered and Li Junshan continued: "Who else can inherit his father's title except that brainless and fat York?"

  "Why?" Crawley was incredulous, but the facts were undeniable now. His face twisted in indignation, he exclaimed: "All for a viscount's title, and he could do such a thing!"

  "It was his biggest mistake that he didn't kill me." Li Junshan said word by word: "Starting today, I will let all the Hariman family in Florence City see that some people are not to be trifled with."

  "Nicholas, don't be impulsive." Crawley said nervously: "As long as you're safe, your mother and I will be at ease. We don't want a viscount's title."

  "It's our why don't want." Li Junshan smiled and said, "Dad, I'm not the original me anymore. How about this, I'll take you to see something first, but you have to promise you won't faint."

  "Just now, I saw you take out the spatial ring, and a large pile of demon beast hides, and sell them for so many gold coins. And then encourage our family's servants and guards, it's so abnormal that I didn't faint." Klaul self-deprecatingly said: "This household, since your mother passed away, if it wasn't for the old steward managing it, would have been in disarray long ago, I think whether you or your mother, are more like a master of the house than me."

  I'm shocked!

  Li Junshan hastily said, "Father, as long as you're here, this family will always be yours to command. Don't believe me? Go ask Mother, even though she's been the one managing the household from behind the scenes, but you're still the master of this house, and as long as the heavens don't collapse, this family won't fall apart."

  "You're more talkative than before." Krael smiled slightly, looking less depressed, and said: "What's that? Let's go take a look."

  Li Junshan brought Krowl to a corner of the backyard, where several guards were standing watch. Seven or eight strong servants were lifting the carriage compartment onto a simple elevator under Fati's direction.

  "What's so secret?" Krael wondered: "Covered up like that and taken down to the basement too?"

  Li Junshan mysteriously smiled, and after seeing the car being lowered down, he walked with Klauss to the underground room. Fati gave a few instructions to several guards and followed suit.

  "The fewer people who know about this, the better." Li Junshan explained to Klauss, grabbing the door handle and pushing it inward.

  Kraul was again startled by his strength, and he couldn't help but follow his curiosity. He pushed the car to the basement, where Fate voluntarily lifted the coarse canvas, enduring the pungent smell that assaulted his nostrils, put on gloves and peeled open the monster's corpse, revealing a black dragon egg buried underneath.

  "Huh." Klaul looked over his shoulder and said, "What kind of magical beast egg is this? How can it be so big?"

  "Hei Long Dan." Li Junshan smiled and said: "The egg of the 9th-level demonic beast Hei Long."

  "Uh..." A strange noise came from Krow's throat as he rolled up his eyes and fainted.

  …………

  Viscount York was very comfortable, his stout body buried in a bamboo chair woven by dwarves, enjoying the massage of two lovely maids who were absolutely no more than sixteen years old. He narrowed his eyes and watched the beautiful dancing girls dancing in the hall.

  "Confirmed?" York shifted his stout body and slipped his bare foot into the maid's collar as she massaged his leg.

  "It's confirmed." A middle-aged man standing beside him replied, his height was around 1.9 meters tall, with golden hair slightly curled, and a pair of triangular eyes shining with cautious gaze.

  "The little man inquired very minutely, and even sent someone to explore that scoundrel's house. Nicholas is back."

  "Good job, Tony." York glared at the middle-aged man and said, "You were supposed to find someone reliable to get things done quickly. What's going on? It's been half a year and you still can't find anyone. Now, when we finally need to contact people, no one has been contacted yet, but Nicholas just happens to be back."

  The man named Tony suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and bowed his head, saying: "It's the fault of this humble person, please punish me, sir."

  York didn't care, narrowing his small eyes, and rotating his feet on the maid's white chest. The maid was flushed all over her face, with fear and shame in her watery eyes, but she didn't dare move.

  "What's the use of coming back?" York sneered and said, "An old useless person plus a young useless person, what kind of waves can they make?"

  "Old man." Tony's face was bitter, with an expression of wanting to speak but hesitating.

  "Let it rip already." York was getting impatient.

  "I just heard that Sorak's trading post has received a large shipment of monster hides, mostly from level 5 monsters." Tony said hesitantly: "It was received from Nicholas, and Sorak even saw that Nicholas had a spatial ring."

  "What?" York suddenly sat up, his feet drawn back too quickly, and the maid's blouse was torn open, revealing a pair of white rabbit-like breasts that popped out instantly.

  Toni looked at him greedily for a moment before withdrawing his gaze and saying, "I didn't believe it then, I asked many times, Sorak was certain he hadn't made a mistake."

  "A large batch of grade 5 magical beast hides? Spatial ring." York muttered to himself, suddenly stood up and said: "Hurry up and arrange a horse carriage for me, I'm going to see Earl Ross."

  Toni rushed out and at that moment a soldier came running in from afar, his face terrified, almost colliding with Toni.

  "Bastard." Tony kicked out with his leg and cursed, "What's wrong with your dog eyes, why are you in such a hurry?"

  "Old master, someone... someone is making trouble outside the door." The soldier's face had a clear handprint on it, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and he struggled to get up.

  "What's going on?" York was furious, and he stormed out of the house, cursing as he went: "I'd like to see which bastard has a death wish, daring to cause trouble at the viscount's estate."

  When he reached the gate, York was stunned. At the entrance, two large stone lions were placed side by side, and a man sat on top of them, his feet swinging back and forth like a swing, with a look of leisure on his face.

  "Dead fatty, are you surprised to see me?" Li Junshan said with a smile.

  "Nicholas." York's face jiggled with fat as he snarled, "Ill-bred whelp, was that how your useless father taught you?"

  As soon as the words fell, York only felt a dizziness in front of his eyes, and before he could understand what was happening, he received two heavy slaps on the face, his mouth opened, and several teeth fell out with blood.

  Li Junshan flashed back to the stone lion and sat down, sneering: "You fat pig, what are you? Do I have no upbringing, and it's not up to you to point fingers."

  "How can he be so fast." York's mind flashed with this thought, furious and jumping up to shout: "Kill, kill this son of a bitch for me."

  More than a dozen guards rushed over and upon hearing the old master's words, they brandished their guns and knives and charged forward.

  "Audacious!" A loud shout rose, and Fate emerged from behind the stone lion. His lips moved, and several water arrows suddenly appeared out of thin air, striking the legs of the two guards running in front.

  Two guards fell to the ground, and two small fireballs floated in the air again, bursting into intense flames on top of the other two guards' heads, igniting their hair and eliciting a pained scream.

  Several earth spikes suddenly appeared on the ground, tripping up several guards.

  Zila a sound, a small lightning bolt struck the top of a guard's head, electrifying him for a moment.

  Water, fire, earth, and lightning elements; Law suddenly cast several primary spells, the more he fought, the more comfortable he became, his mouth chanting incantations non-stop, a flurry of spells were released, for a time, over ten guards were caught off guard.

  "Magician?" York covered his mouth, his eyes wide with wonder, and muttered: "This...this is a few systems...magician?"

  The shortcomings of the novice magician soon became apparent, Fatt's magic had limited lethality and only gave those guards some minor injuries. Several guards were now rushing to his front, their long spears thrusting towards Fatt's chest.

  Li Junshan moved, his body transformed by the alien gene modification rapidly swept to Fate's front, the movements of those guards under his highly concentrated spirit were like slow-motion movie shots. He stretched out his hand with lightning-fast kung fu and swiftly punched a fist on their faces.

  Those guards hadn't even seen Li Junshan's figure clearly, but they felt a surge of powerful force on their faces and let out miserable cries as they flew backward, knocking over the guards rushing up from behind and instantly becoming rolling pumpkins.

  "Looking for death." A loud shout came, followed by a figure wrapped in purple aura bursting out of the viscount's mansion, with a long sword spewing out a half-meter-long blade tip, stabbing straight at Li Junshan's chest.

  The sword tip had yet to arrive, but Li Junshan already felt an indescribably strong aura surging over, his hands were empty, and he didn't dare to face the blade head-on, hastily turning around to dodge.
