Beating the Young Master

 The Genesis Sea experts of the bandit's force all have their mouths gaping, a look of shock at the sight of their plan failing. 

 The Duke would be the same as well, he had sensed a familiar aura from the bandit group before, but it was not time for that. It was time to follow what the young man did.

 "Aargh!" one of the Genesis Sea experts of the Mizalas Duchy screamed before his demise, his body turned into red mist courtesies of one pent-up Duke.

 "This is bad! Retre- "One of the Genesis Sea experts could barely sound the order before he was also turned into a pulp by the Duke.

 Seeing two of their fellows being killed so easily, the remaining three quickly flee, not wanting to be next.

 The bandit flew near the strongest expert from the Mizalas Duchy, hearing him mutter, "How can this be?" and "We supposed to win, how can we lose so badly?"

 The mutter stopped when another scream of terror was heard before the man no longer screamed, signifying his death.

 "Let's get out of here first and then think of a new game plan," the bandit suggested, the remaining Genesis Sea expert of the Mizalas Duchy nodded somberly.

 However, they both swore to kill the one that derailed their plan so badly.

 The person in question was busy destroying the remnant of the bandit group, not intending to let any escape. The defenders joined him later, attacking the scattered bandits and killing some of the more badly injured ones.

 They also caught some that were merely knocked out, likely to obtain some information of their plans, however unlikely the underling would know anything important.

 As they cleaned the battlefield, it couldn't even be called a battle, the strongest expert among the defenders flew towards him, giving him a slight bow. 

 "I'm the second in command of the Third Section of the Southern Wall, may I know sir's name?" he asked respectfully, though Ryker raised his brow at the man.

 "And where is the first in command?" he asked, the man looking away, his red face showing his embarrassment. 

 "He is not here, even before the fight began or after it ended," the man replied, making him shake his head. What kind of idiot led this sec-

 "What happened?!" a loud screech, one that he, unfortunately, recognized. He turned his head, already knowing what he would see. What he didn't expect was the person being carried like an object, clearly struggling with her arms and legs being tied up.

 At that moment, he sees red.

 The young master of the Mortola Family was asking his men what happened here when a blur passed through him, making him close his eyes. When he opened it, he felt something was missing. 

 A quick look reveal that his future woman was grabbed by an unknown person. "Who dares to gra-" the man turned his head, his eyes seemingly boring right through his skull.

 He backed away slightly, using his Soul Sense before realizing the person in front of his is merely a Genesis Core expert.

 Gaining his confidence back, he walked towards him, "Give this young master his properties back, and this young master will let this matter end here,"

 When the other man didn't respond, his eyes twitched before he used his superior cultivation to suppress the other man, "This young master said to give his properties bac-" he couldn't say anything else when a powerful aura clashed against him before breaking through his aura.

 He could barely do anything when the aura pushed him to the ground, his face fell first on the wall. However, it was not over yet as he could feel something on his head. Something that feels suspiciously like a foot.

 "Young master of Mortola Family, huh? Looks like they didn't teach you well enough that there are some people you could not offend," a stronger pressure was felt by the young man, who let out a shrill scream, the pain too much for someone like him.

 When the foot was removed, the young man tried to stand up but a kick on his gut sent him flying, making him roll on the wall. As he rolled he could see the men under his command looking at him, conflicted expressions on their faces. 

 He wanted to tell them to help him, to make the young man suffer when another powerful aura pressed on him, making him reconsider his situation. After all, the aura could rival a Genesis Spring, maybe even a Genesis Lake expert!

 He felt despair when he felt another more powerful aura headed towards them, one he recognized as belonging to the Duke. 

 The man released his aura, allowing him to stand. He looked at the Duke with a happy expression, before glaring at him men and the young man, the former had an expression full of despair while the latter had a disinterested one.

 He sneered inwardly, 'Let's see how long you can keep that look on your face,' as he walked towards the Duke before giving the man a huge bow.

 "My Lord, this man just appeared on the wall and attacked me! He must be colluding with the bandits! Also, my men seemed to side with him, so they must be deciding to join the bandits as well!" he told the Duke, a bright smile forming inside his mind.

-x-

 Yet, what happened next surprised all the people on the wall with the exception of the two.

 "Plap!" a powerful slap can be heard though the victim was someone unexpected.

 The young master of the Mortola Family let out a groan, the slap of a Genesis Sea expert, even if said person was holding back, still enough to send anyone not a Genesis Lake or above flying, or this time, crashing.

 He slowly rose, only to shiver in fright at the glare leveled at him by the strongest expert of the entire Duchy.

 "My Lor-" "WHO ALLOW YOU TO SPEAK!" the bellowing roar of a Genesis Sea expert was enough to send some of the weaker men to the ground, fainting from the mere pressure of the Duke's voice.

 "I put you in charge of the section of the wall to protect it, but what did you do?! You tried to get your hand on a woman I agreed to protect! If not for the fact the Duchy is in a horrible state, I will kill you right here and now," the last sentence was said in such a low tone it could be considered as a whisper, yet to everyone there, it might as well be thunder.

 "One more thing," the young master looked at the Duke, something akin to hope on his face. "You are no longer the leader of this section," the despair on his face seemed to satiate Ryker's desire for revenge.

 "Kid," the Duke looked at Ryker, his furious expression turned to a gentle one, making the young master look at him in shock.

 "Would you like to command this section of the wall?"
