Chapter 1502: Saving a Beauty
LightFord City
That evening,
I left the inn and began to walk along the footpath. It’s best to attend the birthday banquet tomorrow. Then I can gather more information on the Preslin Family.
After gathering the information, I can confront them with the evidence. But the size of the family is larger than the Bolton Family.
Maybe it’s difficult to approach the family head and others if I openly play the card of the Star University Warrior.
Then it would definitely alert the other rotten families. Then they might continue to hide. Since I have got the opportunity, I should remove all the rotten families.
Just as I’m walking, the path splits ahead. One of them goes to the narrow alley on the left.
I continued to walk and was about to cross the path.
"Don’t you dare attack me!"
I heard a female voice the next moment. I stopped, turned towards the left side, and saw three Gold Mark Warriors harassing two women at this time.
A cold glint appeared in my eyes.
I moved towards them to help. In a flash, I appeared before the women. I saw through the strength of the two women at a glance.
One of them was a Gold Mark Warrior, but she was hurt right now. The other one was the Silver Mark Warrior who had shouted earlier.
From their rich dress, I think the Silver Mark Warrior is a young miss of a certain family.
"Who are you?"
"Don’t interfere in our business!"
"We are from the Preslin Family."
The three middle-aged, burly Gold Mark Warriors uttered one after another.
Hearing that, I decided to help out even more. I immediately circulated the purple lightning force in my hand.
Swoosh!
The next second, I appeared in front of the burly warriors. They were stunned. Before they could realize and take action.
Smash!
My punch landed squarely on their chests one by one. The purple lightning power blasted the warriors away. They were sent flying before crashing into the ground.
Their whole bodies were charred. Their chests were broken and caved in. They were not completely dead yet, but they were close to it.
Gasp!
The two women exclaimed in surprise. They failed to comprehend what had just happened.
Someone had come to rescue them. The person was a Gold Mark Warrior, yet he defeated them in one move.
It was not just a simple move. He pushed three of them close to death. If they didn’t get immediate treatment, they would die right away.
The young woman in the purple dress was Layla Fletcher, the heir of the Fletcher Family. She was a Silver Mark Warrior.
The woman next to her was her maid. She was dressed in black clothes. She was also her protector.
They were from the Fletcher Family.
After handling the men, I appeared in front of the two women. The maid was hurt, but her injuries were not that deep.
"Are you guys alright?" I asked them.
Layla stepped forward and said, "Thanks for saving our lives. The Preslin Family intends to take over the city."
"They have started attacking other families already. I don’t know why the higher-ups are not doing anything," she added.
"Thanks for helping out. If you don’t mind, you can ask us for a reward. Our miss can help you," the maid said.
Hearing that, I immediately thought of the banquet. But I didn’t know whether they could help with that.
"Miss, we should leave this place soon. The Preslin Family won’t be silent. They will also cause problems at tomorrow’s banquet," the maid said to Layla.
Hearing that, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
"If you guys don’t mind, I’ll join the banquet with you. I have never attended a lavish banquet before. I could widen my knowledge," I said to them.
Layla and the maid looked at each other. They were shocked. They didn’t know why this person was asking all of a sudden.
More importantly, they didn’t know his background. It could invite trouble back to the family. Layla was not in a hurry to agree.
I saw through their doubts.
"I can understand your worries. But I’m new to the city. I’m doing a mission. I just came to stop by the city. I will leave soon," I said to them.
"Mission," Layla uttered.
Even the maid was stunned. Now they were even more shocked.
"If you don’t believe me, look at this." I showed them the badge of the Star University Warrior.
"Star University Warrior!" Both of them cried out in surprise. More than surprising, they were alarmed.
"What?"
"Do you think I have ulterior motives?"
"I came to the city to rest. But the banquet seems like a nice event to enjoy," I said to them.
Both of them collected their thoughts.
"No wonder you are not afraid of the Preslin Family," Layla said after some difficulty.
"Young Master, with your status, you can directly participate in the banquet. Even the Preslin Family would respect you," the maid said.
I shook my head.
"I’m doing a mission. I need to be low-key. I will just enjoy the banquet before leaving the city tomorrow," I said to them.
Both of them looked at each other and nodded their heads in understanding.
"Young Master, then you can enter the banquet with us," Layla said.
She was obviously not stupid enough to offend a Star University Warrior. What’s more, the Preslin Family wouldn’t openly target them tomorrow.
The maid didn’t say anything because the identity of Star University was there. No one could disrespect it.
"So, where is the event taking place?" I asked.
"It’s taking place at the city common hall. It’s one of the places run by the city administration," Layla said.
Hearing that, I was surprised. Don’t tell me there are accomplices. Everything will be clear tomorrow.
"Okay, I’ll come to the common hall tomorrow," I said to them.
"One more thing, don’t reveal anything to your families. I don’t want my identity to be leaked. If not for you, I would have minded my own business earlier," I warned her.
"Understood," Layla replied.
