Chapter 485 The Fallen Noble, Lofki.
"Brother Mo, could it be that you're saying this is Ryder's house?"
Looking at the somewhat dilapidated mansion before him, Xuan Mo nodded. "That's right. As a noble family of the Barak Kingdom, Ryder's family should be able to find out the location of his mansion."
Hearing Xuan Mo's words, Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu frowned and noses respectively.
Xiao Wu spoke first: "But this mansion looks much worse than Tai Long's. Are you sure this is a noble family from the same kingdom?"
Upon hearing this, Tai Long immediately turned black-faced, and then gently reminded her: "Sister Xiao Wu, although our Power Clan doesn't have the status and power of those nobles in the Heaven Dou Empire, when it comes to the size of our mansions, we are much larger than most of the nobles in the empire."
Titan, seeing this, smiled without saying a word, standing beside Tang San with his arms crossed.
"Oh, I forgot to mention."
At this moment, facing Xiao Wu's words, Xuan Mo stepped forward to knock on the door, saying, "The Ryder family, including Sanqian and Wilda, are not as well-off as the other nobles in the Barak Kingdom. Like the academy back then, they were ostracized by Lovki and his gang, so their lives aren't very good. You could say they're impoverished nobles. As for Sanqian, they're doing alright because of their business, and Wilda is a long-time friend of Sanqian's family. But the Ryder family…"
"I see."
As Xiao Wu nodded in understanding, Xuan Mo's hand touched the mansion door.
"Knock knock knock…"
"Ryder, an old friend has arrived!"
Meanwhile, at the Luo family mansion.
"Are you telling the truth!"
A young man, crippled in both legs and slumped in a chair, one hand on the armrest, the other making a delicate gesture with his fingers, exclaimed in a shrill voice.
And he was none other than Luo Fuqi.
Since being crippled by Xuan Mo in the Soul Master Competition five years ago, he had not only become disabled but also neither male nor female. Even his status at home had been replaced by his younger brother, a dramatic fall from grace. If his mother hadn't been his father's legal wife, Luo Fuqi would likely be in a much worse state.
"Young Master Luo, I'm sure I'm not mistaken."
Standing before Luo Fuqi was one of the soldiers who had stopped Xuan Mo and his group at the city gate.
This soldier was now greedily showing Luo Fuqi a stack of drawings depicting the Shrek Eight Monsters, eager to curry favor. It turned out that after the Soul Master Competition, upon learning that Xuan Mo's Shrek Academy had grown increasingly powerful and even received support from the Heaven Dou Empire, Luo Fuqi wanted revenge. However, a direct confrontation was impossible.
Therefore, he had placed pressure on the Ryder family, distributing portraits of Xuan Mo and his group, hoping to lure them to his territory for revenge.
Even though this hope was extremely small for him, he never expected that he would get it today.
"Good, good, good! You've done a great service."
A mad look appeared on Lofgi's face, his eyes flashing with hatred. He then waved to the soldier, "Step back."
"Yes." A hint of hesitation flashed in the soldier's eyes as he cautiously said, "Then, Young Master Lo, as for my reward..."
"A reward, is that it? Okay~ Here you go."
A mocking smile appeared on Lofgi's face. He made a delicate gesture with his fingers and shouted shrilly, "Someone come here!"
A moment later, "Young Master."
A figure pushed open the door and entered, standing before Lofgi. At Lofgi's signal, the figure turned to face the soldier. Immediately afterward, the soul tool in the figure's hand flashed.
Just as the soldier thought it was a reward, "Pfft..."
With a splatter of blood, a dagger had already plunged from the figure's hand into the soldier's throat.
And before the soldier died, he heard Loveki say sarcastically, "Heh, you think I'd spare you? You know, I can't afford to mess with Shrek Academy now. If I take care of these guys but leave you as leverage, I'll be dead if I get caught."
Then, as the soldier's consciousness faded, he vaguely heard Loveki continue, "But if you die, there's no way to prove anything. Without evidence, my family can still protect me. So, who told you to…"
When Loveki finished speaking, the soldier was already dead. Loveki didn't know that the soldier hadn't finished revealing the strength of Xuanmo's group before he died.
Looking at the dead soldier, Lovki waved his hand dismissively and shrieked, "Get him out of here, he's disgusting. Just a lowly gatekeeper, trying to get a bounty from me."
"Someone come here!"
Seeing the empty room, Lovki summoned another person his mother had placed beside him and cried out, "I want to see Mother! Avenge me!"
"Yes, young master."
A figure heard this and quickly disappeared.
Ryder's mansion.
"What brings you all here?"
Ryder asked coldly, looking expressionlessly at Xuanmo, who was serving tea and wiping away his grease.
It turned out that after being welcomed into the mansion by Ryder, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the members of the Power Clan, not being very familiar with each other, were led to the guest rooms to rest. Xuanmo and the others were guided to the tea room, where Ryder personally brewed several cups of tea.
"Hey! It's because I was worried about you."
Xuan Mo took Ning Rongrong's hand and waved it in front of Ryder. "When Rongrong and I got engaged, you said you had something to do and couldn't come, and I realized something was wrong. I knew you wouldn't say something like that because of some trivial matter. So, as soon as we had some free time, we came."
"Actually, you didn't need to come."
After a long pause, Ryder put down his teacup and said coldly.
"I can handle these things myself; there's no need to trouble you."
"That's too polite," Ma Hongjun and Oscar suddenly stood up. Oscar grabbed Ryder by the neck, "Besides, if you're in trouble, how can we brothers not help? Right?"
"Exactly!" Firelight gathered around Ma Hongjun, "Is it that Loveki's doing? If so, I'll go and roast him alive! Anyway, Brother Mo broke three of his legs, he probably can't take care of himself now. I'll go and give him a good end of it. That would be satisfying!"
So, persuaded by everyone, Ryder told them everything about his situation…
