Chapter 28

"What do you want to eat today?" Calter asked while looking at the variety of ingredients on their kitchen. As a Nobility Clan, their storage has quite a lot of ingredients. Almost anything that one needs were there

"I want some meat hehe" Kence replied as his food last night were almost all vegetables that he didn't like. "No, if you want to eat meat make sure you'll eat lunch later"

Kence's shoulder dropped down and pouted. This is his consequences of not eating anything for the whole day yesterday. "Then eggs?" As long as it's not vegetables, Kence was okay eating anything

Calter nodded his head and he took the pink apron with a bunny from his spatial ring. "Wear yours too" he said to Kence. The youth did the same and happily wore his apron that's exactly identical to the one that Calter was wearing

Calter grabbed the equipment and utensils they needed. As it was just fried eggs, there wasn't much anything that they needed. Calter washed some onions and garlic before cutting it into smaller pieces. When he was done, he cracked some eggs and started beating it. Kence was just watching Calter doing the preparation while humming some random song

When he was almost done, Kence put the pan in the magic stove and heated it. He pours some oil in the pan and put the chopped garlic and onions on it. The smell of the garlic and onion filled the kitchen making one's appetite to grow

Calter hold the bowl of beated egg on his hand and went to Kence's side watching him while cooking. The atmosphere inside the kitchen was peaceful and serene, if only this can last forever then wouldn't it be perfect?

When the two ingredients were already cooked well, Kence took the bowl of eggs from Calter's hand and pour it on the pan to cook. Calter kissed Kence on the side of his forehead before grabbing some plates for the cooked eggs and put it on the nearby table. He also grabbed some slice bread and their simple breakfast was almost complete. He finished it by putting two chairs in front of the table

When the egg was cooked, Kence put it in the plates that his master readied and they can now eat. Just when the two was about to eat they heard a knocking sound from the door. Calter frowned as his moment with Kence was interrupted but he knew that if it's not something important, no one would interrupt them

"Come in" the door was opened by one of the clan servants. The servant respectfully bowed at the two before talking. "Young Master Calter, Young Master Kence. The Patriarch ordered me to give you these"

'Young Master Kence? Why is he calling me like that?' Kence wondered to himself. As far as he knew, he was also just a servant. He was confused at why a fellow servant was calling him young master

There were two spatial rings on the servant's hand and he carefully handed it on the two. Calter scanned the items inside the ring and he saw ten thousand Magic Crystals inside with few tens of dungeon cores

Since the Clan was on the process of rising, they don't need to save too much money now. It was easier to gain more money with their new status and business

"The Patriarch wants to give it personally but he and the Madame are currently busy" opening a new shop in just a week, although Nobility can do that but it requires a lot of work. It was no surprise that they are now busy

"You may go" the servant bowed before leaving the kitchen

Kence scanned the things inside the spatial ring that the servant handed to him and he almost tossed the ring on is hand. "Oh My God!"

Just like Calter's ring, it also has ten thousand Magic Crystals but instead of Dungeon Cores it has a variety of expensive looking clothes. Most of it were blue while only some has other colors

For Kence who doesn't have any money since young, this was an astronomical amount. The Clan gave him clothes, shelter, and food. For him that was already enough yet now he was holding a spatial ring containing ten thousand Magic Crystals. No one can blame him for reacting like that

"B-Big Brother, I think this is for you" Kence handed the ring to Calter but the latter refused. "Just take it, father gave it to you. Do you want to refuse his good will?"

"B-But it has too much money! Why would the Patriarch give me money" Kence insisted

"Don't talk too much. Just take it and eat!" Kence didn't have a choice but to keep the money. But he won't spend even a single crystal on it. He still thinks that the servant made a mistake and this ring should belong to his master

Calter put some egg on a slice bread before topping it with another piece of bread and handing it to Kence. Kence narrowed his eyes as this is something that he always does before, why is their role reversed?

Instead of instantly eating, Kence grabbed another slice of bread and just like what Calter did, he put some fried eggs on it and topped it with another bread before giving it to his master

Calter can only shake his head bitterly at Kence's action. But it wasn't that bad, it's actually kind of sweet. They cooked together and prepare the foods for each other. This is like something a couple will do

The two happily ate to their max capacity for the long day ahead. Kence will learn magical theories while Calter will try to fight higher level Magic Beasts

Since Calter can always hunt savage rats for money, his next priority was making his body get use to his power. Training through fighting has good effects on his cultivation base. The foundation would be fortified and fighting between life and death can make one explode his full potential. It was common for someone to break through in ranks during life or death battles

The two drank water after eating and Calter ordered one of the servants to prepare the Cloud Stepping Horse. He still needs to drop Kence on the City Lord's Manor

The servants obeyed and in just a few minutes, the horse was ready for travel now. Calter hopped on the back of the horse before using his hand to help Kence in riding the horse

As the 'driver' Calter sat in front while Kence was on his back. "Hold on me" Calter said and Kence shyly wrapped his hand on his master's waist

"Hold me tighter, you might fall" Calter then wrapped Kence's arm around him tighter. This was both for Kence's safety and his own satisfaction hehe

It's like Kence was hugging him the whole ride. He controlled the horse and it slowly walk to their Clan's gate. The guards hastily opened the door to let the two exit the clan

Calter made sure that the horse won't run too fast. He wants to savor the feeling of Kence hugging him. The winds crashed on their faces and carried their hair away. Kence can't help but become comfortable and he subconsciously rested his face on his master's back

Calter broke into a sweet smile as he became satisfied from Kence's action. The moment was perfect but unfortunately it was interrupted by a rude voice behind them

"Move away!" A rude voice entered the two's ears and they looked back to see an expensive carriage being pulled by three Cloud Stepping Horse

From the carriage, the logo of Shan Clan was proudly displayed. Calter frowned as Shan Clan is a Marquees Clan, one of the highest Nobility in the entire Soaring Magic City. This Clan was only below the City Lord

Even the City Lord won't necessarily offend them. Of course, the disparity in power was huge as there were no Rank 3 Magicians on their Clan. Even then, there were a lot of Magic Knights in their Clan. Even the City Lord will suffer some losses if the two sides clashed as the City doesn't just rely on the City Lord for defense

When a beast tide attacks the city, their numbers would be uncountable. The City Lord himself can kill a lot of beasts but the main force was still the Magic Warriors and Knights because of their bigger numbers. This is the loss that the City Lord will suffer if he clashed with a Marquees Clan

This caused a lot of Nobility Clans to become arrogant and be rampant on their ways. They are afraid of the City Lord because he was an army himself but he won't easily attack Noble Clans as he needed them for the city's safety

Calter just ignored the Shan Clan, even if they want to make trouble with him, he won't care. He's not afraid of them. But who would have thought that the person inside the carriage won't care about the laws?

"Hit him with a spell!" The person inside the carriage said cruelly to the coachman. The coachman's expression changed. It was forbidden to attack someone inside the City. But of course, there would still some that will do that

Specially the Nobilities, they can just order their servants to attack and put the blame on them.

"Do I need to repeat myself?" The same man said coldly. The coachman clenched his jaws and activated a Magic Spell

The coachman was a Magic Warrior, a simple spell of him was enough to kill Kence and Calter. But of course, he wouldn't do that. The consequences were something he cannot take

"[Water Magic: Water Whip]" the coachman didn't used a Magic Wand but the power behind that spell was still high. More than enough to heavily injure a Level 3 Magic Apprentice

The water whip was shot on Calter's direction. Fortunately, Calter was ready and he controlled the Cloud Stepping Horse to dodge while his face flushed with anger

The water whip hit nothing but air which shocked the coachman. Calter dodging was already enough to shock the coachman and the person inside the carriage but his next action was even more shocking

Calter's black magic wand appeared on his hand and he looked angrily at the carriage while activating a spell. "[Dark Magic: Dark Beam!]" Mana gathered around the tip of Calter's wand and a beam of black light was shot from his wand in no more than a second

Calter retaliating and his unbelievable spell casting speed shocked the coachman/guard and he was not able to react. The beam of dark light landed on the carriage. Fortunately for the person inside, the carriage has defensive capabilities more than enough to defend any attacks of a Magic Apprentice

Dark Beam was a level 3 Spell but in Calter's hand it was comparable to a level 5 spell

"Tsk" just as he thought. A carriage from a Shan Clan sure has a defensive property

"How dare you!" An angry voice came from inside the carriage before it was opened by a youth about a year or two older than Calter. Calter can't sense the youth's level, meaning his cultivation base was inferior

But Calter wasn't afraid, no matter what, they are still inside the city. A lot of eyes were already looking at them and it attracted a lot of attention

"What? You can attack us yet we can't attack you? Do you think you are a God and you can do anything you want?" Calter's merciless words resounded in the whole area further angering the youth

"B-Big Brother" Kence said worriedly. He was afraid that his master would get hurt

"Who do you think you are? How dare you offend the Shan Clan!" The youth didn't back down even though it was him who started it. His arrogance seeped deep into his bones

"Young Man, don't offend the Young Master. You are riding a Cloud Stepping Horse and you might have a powerful background but Shan Clan's wrath was not something you can take" the coachman said out of goodwill. He was a servant of the Shan Clan for years and he was clear how arrogant they can be. He was afraid that Calter won't have a good ending if he continues offending one of the clan's young master
