Chapter 42:42

(Author Note: From now on, when John thinks, I will use ‘, and “when he speaks. This is to clear things up and make the storyline smoother).

Early in the morning, Duke Trommel was listening to a report from one of his guards. The guard was actually the one in charge of overseeing the Duke's son, and was the one John had met a few days ago.

“Master, I have done as you instructed and contacted the Guild regarding the invasion last night. They say they will take the task and complete it in three days.”

“Good, nice” replied the Duke with tired eyes. The events of the previous night had greatly harmed Duke, and he could not sleep at all. He thought for a moment before asking the guard a question.

“Have you found the Fenix Clan boy? Although last night's problem is the most important, we also can't ignore that problem.”

“Yes, when I was out of town last night, I wondered and learned that the boy was staying at the Orchard Inn. Unfortunately I was not there to defend you and the family heirloom last night,” said the keeper.

“It's okay. Even if you were here, I doubt the situation would change much. Since the heirloom issue will be resolved soon, let's go and change things with the Fenix” Clan boys replied the Duke. The duke and the guard jumped into the carriage and proceeded to the Orchard Inn.

Knock it! Knock it!

“Hah?”

John woke up from a knock and took a few seconds to wake up. He tiredly rubbed his eyes before getting out of bed and walking to the door. John opened the door and raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise.

“Halo Lord Guard, it's been a few days.”

The guard coughed awkwardly. “Ya, right. I sincerely apologize for the incident. This is Duke Trommel himself.”

John looked towards Duke and narrowed his eyes slightly. When John left with the group last night, he turned around and noticed that Duke was watching them from his bedroom window.

“Hopefully he doesn't recognize me, although I'm pretty sure it's impossible.”

The Duke stepped forward and slightly lowered his head.

“Young Lord of the Fenix Clan, I came here personally to sincerely apologize for my son's actions. Rest assured that he has been severely punished, and I can guarantee that he will never do such a thing again.”

John smiled at Duke but said nothing. His silence caused Duke to cough awkwardly before he continued, “At first I will give our family heirloom as a gift to show my sincere apology. Unfortunately ..”

Duke paused before speaking once more, “Unfortunately, my family fortune was attacked last night, and our heirlooms were stolen. Therefore, I can only offer you this little gift. I hope that's enough. ”

A large crate appeared in the hands of the guards, then he placed it at John's feet and opened it so he could see the contents. Inside the chest were many gold coins and gems.

‘At least there should be a thousand gold coins, as well as various other gems and gems. It seems like Duke is taking this matter quite seriously. ‘

John nodded in acceptance and kept the crate in its spatial area. Duke frowned slightly as John accepted it but said nothing. Although not all of his money was stolen last night, about thirty percent of it was taken. With this gift as well, the Duke had lost nearly half of his family's wealth in less than a day, a fortune that had been built up over generations.

“It's okay. With this, we can consider this issue resolved” said John with a happy smile on his face. The Duke breathed a sigh of relief. With this matter resolved and the heirloom about to be taken away, the Duke finally felt at ease once again.

“Great. I know the young master of the Fenix Clan will be someone who is very wise and understanding. Now that this matter is resolved, I will leave. I offered you a good day” Duke before nodding a little before walking away.

John watched the Duke and the guard walk away before he closed the door, barely holding back his laughter.

“Hahaha, that's quite refreshing. Paid after I took the money myself. Duke too good.”

John took all the money out and started counting it.

‘With this latest gift, I have more than three thousand gold coins, not to mention various gems and gems. I am rich.’

John calmed down once more before leaving his bedroom and walking to a nearby restaurant. John ordered lunch while thinking about what to do next.

‘I have this escort mission coming up, at which point I will be out of things to do. I guess I'll figure out my next move after this mission. ‘

After eating, John walked back to his inn and focused on cultivating. He mainly focused on learning the second form of the Myriad Annihilation Scythe and the third step of the Five-Step Movement Technique, as this was the aspect that would increase his strength the most in a short period of time.

The night soon came when John opened his eyes. He left the Inn and proceeded towards the meeting place, and after a long walk, John finally arrived.

‘It looks like the sixth is here.’

“John, you're here” exclaimed Austin with a smile on his face.

The man with the mustache was waiting together with the rest of the group. He opened his eyes at John's arrival and said to the group, “Now we're all here, we can get out. We will travel all the way through the Forest Skycleave.”

John and his group went out of the way and started towards the trees of the Skycleave Forest. Just as the group was about to step into the trees, John felt something and turned around. His eyes scanned the land behind him but saw nothing.

“I must have imagined it.”

John stared for a few seconds before he turned around and rejoined the group.

As the group walked into the Skycleave Forest, dozens of pairs of eyes were seen staring at the group from afar. One of the men was holding a small disc in his hand, showing a small dot moving further and further away from the center.
