Seeing that Fang Xingjian had disappeared, Robert quickly left as well.
Gus said in a daze, "Brother, that's … Fang Xingjian?"
"That's right. Other than him, is there any other young man in the Great Western City who could be so arrogant?" Daniel looked at the surrounding crowd and said coldly, "Follow me to the shop first."
He then threw a glance at Duolun and Duolong's corpses and said, "Get someone to collect their corpses and send them to the Regional Academy for Fang Xingjian."
Gus hesitated for a moment before asking, "Don't we need to give them to the Flowing Water Dojo? After all, they're from the Flowing Water Dojo. "
"Flowing Water Dojo? Do you think that they'll be able to continue operating after attacking the Empire's Conferred Knights? "Daniel put down Roeslim and said," You should look for your father to think of a solution. "
With that, he turned and left with Gus, leaving Roeslim to mumble in a daze, "Fang Xingjian? Which Fang Xingjian? "
The moment they entered the depths of the shop, Daniel turned and kicked Gus in the stomach. With a bang, Gus was sent flying, slamming into the wall and spurting out a large mouthful of blood. Fresh blood then flowed out from the corners of her lips.
"Brother!" Gus lifted her head and looked at Daniel. She was about to flare up, but his gaze, which was filled with killing intent, caused her to feel a chill down her spine. She was unable to say anything.
Daniel suppressed his anger and scolded, "Look at what you've done! That's Fang Xingjian, a very popular person in the Great Western Region. With just a single word from him, he'll be able to get rid of your elder brother, me, the Deputy Chief. "
"But … But I didn't know who he was."
"Then don't you know how to use your brain? Is someone who can pay 90,000 gold to buy the geomagnetic essence someone you can casually scam? "The more Daniel spoke, the angrier he got." Prepare the 90,000 gold immediately. You haven't spent it yet, right? "
Gus cursed in her heart. Isn't it all because of you? However, when faced with the enraged Daniel, she naturally did not dare to say anything.
Seeing Gus shake her head, Daniel exhaled and said, "Spit out the money and buy a geomagnetic essence to send to Fang Xingjian." He then glared at Gus. "Don't play any more tricks this time around."
"I'm not a fool …"
The manager, Gus, sighed. "Do you have thirty thousand gold? If you don't have it, you can pay from me. When the time comes, you can personally take the geomagnetic essence to apologize. I'll go with you. Also … hand over those lads who attacked just now. "
Gus' eyes widened in disbelief. "Max and the others? But they've been with me for almost ten years … "
"You think Fang Xingjian is easy to talk to? They attacked him, didn't they? " Daniel turned to look at her. "The first person who offended Fang Xingjian was Kaunitz. He's the only son of an aristocrat in Kirst. His corpse has yet to be found. "When Fang Xingjian was still a Knight, he charged into the western front alone and killed over ten Garcia's Great Warriors. "Is Sword Saint Sasa powerful? "No one has seen him for half a month. "Don't think that he looks like a young man. This guy is very vicious."
Gus lowered her head and said hesitantly, "Can we just hand over two of them?"
"Not even one less. Who knows if he'll remember you just because of one or two of them? "He reached the second transition and level 23 in less than a year and a half. If he suddenly remembers this matter two or three years later and still feels displeased, do you think that I, your brother, will be able to stop him?"
Gus clenched her fists tightly, trembling incessantly. Daniel was still saying, "Don't bother about the matters in Iron Ore Town. After apologizing, go back to your hometown in the Southern Flame Region."
Gus lifted her head abruptly. "Brother! This is the result of over ten years of hard work! I can't just go back like this! "
Another kick landed on Gus' face, causing her already plump head to be covered in blood.
"It's not up to you. Go back and cultivate well. Don't come back until you become a Conferred Knight.
"Also, you're not allowed to tell Father and Grandfather about this. Let me tell you, if you dare to let Father and Grandfather stand up for you, I'll be the first to kill you.
"If you let them deal with Fang Xingjian, you won't be taking revenge. You'll be harming them."
Gus said indignantly, "Brother, is Fang Xingjian really that terrifying?"
Daniel shook his head. "You're not a Conferred Knight, so you won't understand. The Pantheon Monument, the Killing Techniques Palace, the Rebirth Sword Technique … Fang Xingjian's talent isn't just terrifying … "
…
Roeslim returned home in a daze. However, when he opened the door, he saw his father sitting on a chair in the hall, glaring at him.
He smiled guiltily, "Father, how did you find the time to come back?"
"If I hadn't come back, I wouldn't even know how I died." Roeslim's father stood up and said with an extremely hoarse voice, "You're getting better and better. You colluded with a wild Knight from the Flowing Water Dojo to kill an Empire's Conferred Knight in front of a few hundred people. In a few years' time, will you even learn! Cultivate! All! Dare! Fight! Do! "
The last few words were spoken through clenched teeth. Roeslim shivered, stood up straight, and said, "Father, I really didn't know that he was Fang Xingjian."
As a profligate son, he had not known who Fang Xingjian was at the start. It was only after he got someone to ask around that he found out that Fang Xingjian was the inventor of the Rebirth Sword Technique that had been extremely popular for the past half a month or so, as well as the current Regional Champion.
"You don't know? Just because you don't know, you can get the people from the Flowing Water Dojo to help you fight? Help you kill? Haha, you want someone to stay alive for three days and three nights? Do you really think that your father's position is too stable? "
Roeslim gulped and said, "I was just saying those words out of anger. Moreover, that Fang Xingjian is still a student of the Regional Academy. At most, Father, you can just give him some money and I'll just apologize to him."
"Apologize? Who do you think you are? Do you think that you're so thick-skinned that he'll accept your apology? " A vicious gleam flashed in Roeslim's father's eyes. However, when he saw Roeslim, who was as frightened as a little rabbit, he eventually shook his head. Thinking of how he had been gathering information, compromising, discussing, and asking for help for the past few hours, he seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
He had already put in a lot of effort just to get the Flowing Water Dojo to admit their guilt and explain that Duolun and Duolong had attacked the Empire's Conferred Knight on their own.
Usually, it would be a piece of cake for him to get them to admit their guilt. However, if he wanted them to admit their guilt, it would mean that he wanted to wipe out the Flowing Water Dojo completely. Attacking the Empire's Conferred Knight was not a small crime.
This caused the Flowing Water Dojo to retaliate crazily. It took Roeslim's father a lot of effort to contact all of his connections.
He then asked Fang Xingjian to exchange for his son's thumb. He did not have a direct relationship with Fang Xingjian, so he had gone through a few middlemen and depleted a lot of resources and connections.
Therefore, when faced with other people's attacks and those who were aiming at his position, he felt a little powerless.
He then looked at Roeslim's right hand which had been bandaged up and shook his head helplessly. Once again, a hint of affection flashed in his eyes as he pointed to the square box on the table and said, "That's your finger. My friend will be here soon. He has healing abilities. You just have to cooperate with him and you'll be able to recover your hand after a year or so."
Roeslim ran up excitedly, opened the box, and saw that the finger which had been sliced off by Fang Xingjian was lying there in perfect condition.
He smiled and looked at his father, saying, "Father, you've settled it?"
"Settled?" Roeslim's father smiled bitterly. "I'm just an assistant. What can I settle?"
"Go and make some preparations." With that, Roeslim's father stood up and walked out slowly. "We'll be moving to Gem City in a few days' time."
"Gem City? Doesn't that mean that we're going to the border of the Great Western Region? I heard that it's a barren land and there isn't even a Prefectural Academy there. " Roeslim looked at his father in astonishment. He felt that his father's back view had suddenly become shorter. There was no sign of his usual high spirits. Right now, he looked just like a little old man.
He suddenly realized that his father must have paid a great price for this finger of his.
He immediately chased after him and shouted, "Father, I don't want this finger anymore. Without a thumb, I can still practice fist and palm techniques. Return it."
Roeslim's father turned and smiled bitterly, stroking Roeslim's head. "There are so many people eyeing your father's position. What's the use of returning it? I'll be very happy that you've remembered this and grown. "
Looking at his father's aged face, Roeslim lowered his head, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes. This was when he truly realized that he had brought great trouble to his father. He had even changed the future of his father and the entire clan.
At this moment, Roeslim's eyes were filled with extreme regret and guilt.
