I can give you strength

Was it worth it? These three words pierced into the burly man's heart like a sharp thorn. He kept roaring and struggling like a fish on the shore, unable to breathe. He used all his strength to jump and move, but his upper body still couldn't move at all. He tried to use his hands to pinch the man's leg, but there was a layer of magic on the man's body that prevented him from doing so.

"You bastard, let me go." The burly man's eyes flashed with ferocity. "If you don't let me go, I'll kill you."

Beta's gaze was still very cold. "I remember that your name is Augustine. You dare to threaten to kill me, but when you faced that young noble at noon, you just let him beat you up. Don't even mention fighting back, you didn't even dare to say a word. It's because you know that I won't kill you, but that person might kill you, right? "

The burly man's body trembled and immediately stopped struggling. However, his eyes were filled with shame and anger.

Beta's words were like a sharp knife, directly cutting open the last piece of cloth in the man's heart.

At this moment, Augustine felt as if he was placed naked in front of everyone's eyes. Behind the dim windows, there were countless dark figures standing and laughing at him. This feeling made him want to die of shame and indignation.

"He is a noble, a noble like you." Half of Augustine's face was soaked in the rain. The muddy, earthy smell of muddy water entered through one of his nostrils. As he roared, he spat out the mud from his mouth, as if he was spitting out his anger and resentment. "I'm just a commoner, a blacksmith who doesn't even have a few silver coins. How can I fight against him? How can I fight against nobles like you?"

Words filled with helplessness and roars filled with unwillingness echoed in the rainy night. Many people heard it, but most of them were speechless, because they were the same as Augustine. They were all at the bottom of society. They had no way to improve themselves, and they had no way to change the fate of their descendants. They could only stay where they were, generation after generation, and it was even possible that their descendants would live a worse life than them.

A small number of people sneered coldly. These people were either from the privileged class, or they had methods, abilities, or connections. They disapproved of Augustine's words and even thought that he was a bit ridiculous.

You're just a commoner. It's good enough that I didn't kill you. You actually want to fight with the nobles?

Beta smiled, loosened his foot, and said to the man, "Stand up!"

Augustine covered his cheeks and stood up. The strength of this young nobleman in front of him was astonishing. He even had the illusion that the half of his face that had been stepped on had already rotted away. Now, there was not a single trace of it left. It was just a wooden face.

"How do you want to humiliate me now?"

"She's just a woman. She's not worth it."

Augustine shouted angrily, "What do you know? I'm really in love with Marilyn. How can nobles like you who treat love as child's play understand the loyal love of us commoners?"

"Loyalty shouldn't be a one-sided thing, right?" Beta smiled. "If that woman values love as much as you do, then I can understand that you're trying to kill yourself after your wife is stolen. But that woman obviously doesn't care about you. Your behavior will only make her feel that she made the right choice. "

Augustine's eyes were filled with speechless depression. "If you were me, what would you do?"

"I'd find a way to make myself stronger." Beta said indifferently, "Then I'd take my woman back. It's that simple."

"That's because you have ways to become stronger, but I'm just a blacksmith. I have nothing." Augustine said mockingly, "If you were in my position, maybe you wouldn't even be as good as me."

"Maybe so." Beta said rather approvingly, "I may be worse off than you, but I believe that I'll never be as decadent as you. I'll howl like a wild dog that has lost its territory. "

Augustine snorted and didn't want to talk to Beta anymore. But at this moment, he found that he was in a much better mood after messing around with the noble in front of him. The pain of being betrayed was still so painful that he wanted to go crazy, but he could already control his emotions and wouldn't let himself lose control like before.

"At the end of the day, it's still a matter of power." Augustine shook his head hard, shaking off the rain on his face and his tears. "If I could be like you, with both power and power, then that guy wouldn't even dare to appear in front of me, let alone take back Marilyn."

"That's right. Power is very important. It's the confidence that people have in this world. "Beta smiled faintly." I can give you power. Do you dare to accept it? "

Augustine looked at him with a cunning expression. "Your Excellency, are you kidding me?"

"You can choose not to believe me. It doesn't matter to me. But if you want to take back your wife, come with me. "

After speaking, Beta turned around and left.

Augustine watched the young and handsome nobleman walk gracefully into a hotel with a white umbrella in his hand.

He stood where he was and let the rain fall on him. He felt that the surface of his body was very cold because of the rain, but he was clear that in his heart, there was a blazing flame burning. At first, it was just a small flame, but now, it had already burned into a bright flame, as dazzling as the noon sun.

After a while, Augustine took a deep breath and stepped into the hotel.

This was the best hotel in the city. Normally, Augustine wouldn't dare to approach this place because he knew that he wasn't qualified. But it was different now. When he walked into this hotel, he wasn't stopped at all. On the contrary, the waiters even nodded at him in greeting, and there was even envy and jealousy in their eyes.

Even though he was penniless, even though he was as poor as grass, even though he was covered in mud, no one dared to drive him away. Instead, they had to pretend to smile at him.

Was this the effect of power?

Augustine's eyes suddenly lit up. He naturally asked the waiter next to him, "Which room is that sir in?"

Room 7 on the fourth floor.

The waiter replied respectfully. Augustine looked at his disheveled appearance, then looked at the luxurious hotel, and couldn't help but burst into laughter. He laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes again.

Beta was in a room on the fourth floor.

Shirley, wearing pink pajamas, sat next to him and said with a smile, "I thought you wouldn't care about this. I didn't expect you to be so soft-hearted."

"I'm not soft-hearted. I just think that man has a lot of potential," Beta said casually.

"Yes, yes, he does have a lot of potential." Shirley pouted and said sarcastically, "He can definitely become a powerful professional like Kail. Is that okay? You men just like to say one thing and mean another. "

Beta also sighed in his mind. He didn't want to care about this at first, but for some reason, he still took it into his hands.

"Go and call Jessica over."

Shirley nodded and returned to the bedroom. She dragged Jessica who was still in a daze. At this time, Augustine also walked to the door. Staring at Shirley who was as beautiful as a flower, he was dazed for quite a while. Then, he walked back to the bedroom embarrassedly.

"Have you made up your mind?" Beta asked.

Augustine nodded hard. He now knew what kind of benefits power could bring. This young noble in front of him only needed to say a few words, and he could freely enter such a place. Those who used to look down on him were now jealous of him. With such a big change, he already knew that he didn't want to be a blacksmith anymore.

"My name is Beta. This is Shirley and Jessica. I'll bestow the power to Jessica, and then she'll bestow the power to you. After that, you'll become a professional. "

"Then I can become a person with strength?" Augustine asked.

"It's just a starting point. I'll give you a starting point. It's up to you to choose what kind of path you can walk. "

Beta smiled, drew out his sword, and said to Jessica, "Come here, I'm going to make you my Knight."

Jessica's eyes lit up. She trotted to Beta happily and squatted on the ground like a husky.

Beta put the sword on Jessica's shoulder.

Then, everyone saw a strange magic light coming out of Jessica's body. After a while, the light disappeared. Even an ordinary person like Augustine could feel that Jessica had become a lot more powerful.

Seeing this, Augustine couldn't help but lick his lips.

"Go, make this man your Inferior Knight," Beta said to Jessica.

About three minutes later, Augustine stood up from the magic light. He looked at his hands that had shed the dead skin. He couldn't believe that his skin was as smooth as when he was a teenager. He then felt the strong heartbeat in his body and the power contained in his muscles. He couldn't help but raise his head and roar.

He was so excited. He knew very well that he had become a professional.

However, before he could finish his roar, he was abruptly cut off because Shirley had cast a Silence Technique on him.

"You're so noisy."

Augustine glanced at Shirley apologetically, then motioned for the beauty to undo the magic on him. He asked, "Your Excellency, I know very well that there is no such thing as unconditional kindness in this world. What price do I have to pay?"

"How about becoming my subordinate forever?"

Augustine knelt on one knee. "As you wish, my master. But please give me two days to take care of some things. "

"No problem. Go ahead."

Augustine bowed and left the room.

After leaving the hotel, he saw that the sky was turning pink on the horizon and a smile filled his face: "Dawn has come."
