The Spencer Family’s Revenge

"Fine!" Mayor Hesius snorted coldly.

"You've killed the deacons of the Spencer family. If you simply ran away afterward, you might've been fine."

After saying that, he pointed at Haus's corpse and continued, "But, this man is a member of the Spencer family. Although he's not a direct descendant, he still has a certain position. Now, you've completely infuriated the Spencer family. I'll be waiting for your corpse!"

After saying that, the mayor ignored the people cursing him and left. Arthur stared at the mayor's departing figure and pondered over his words.

On the other hand, the residents didn't seem so concerned, although they were still terrified.

In their eyes, this was nothing worse than before. To be able to temporarily escape from being oppressed was already a blessing for them.

From a distance, Arthur saw Verus distributing medicine and daily necessities to the people. These were all bought with the gold coins he had given last night.

Arthur's eyes were moist as he watched the short and warm time between the people.

This place used to be so blissful. He also had such happy times. Alas, everything had changed. Everything took a turn because of the Spencer family.

Many people wanted to get close to Arthur, but his killing methods were terrifying. The people he killed turned into dried-up corpses, similar to how vampires dealt with their prey. Due to that, they didn't dare to come over.

In the end, many people gathered around Arthur under the town chief's lead and thanked him. They even advised him to leave this place as soon as possible. Even if he was a transcendent, he might die here.

Arthur had planned to repeatedly change his disguise to meet these people. But, in the end, he held back.

At this moment, Lu Yu discovered that his points had reached 200 points after killing many people.

A panel appeared in front of him.

While the town was bustling with activity, there was a resplendent building outside the town. The mayor's house couldn't compare to the extravagance of this fortress.

This building wasn't under the jurisdiction of the town. The surrounding towns had to offer offerings to the castle in front of them. This was because a powerful Baron was living here, a peak energy level two expert.

At the moment, it was extremely lively inside the building. The old Baron Spencer was enjoying a performance by dancers with his sons.

Soon, Baron Spencer's youngest daughter would be married to one of Count Magnus's sons. The marriage with a Count's family would bring him unparalleled benefits.

This good news left him happy for a long time. It had been ten years since he had reached energy level two. He had been stuck at the pinnacle of energy level two for five years. If the marriage was successful, he would have a great chance at entering energy level three!

Under such circumstances, he could no longer satisfy himself by only being the ruler of a small town. After reaching energy level three, his title would change from Baron to Viscount. By then, his influence would rise to an even greater level.

"The mayor of Huska just sent us a message saying that someone killed our family's deacons!"

Baron Spencer's reverie suddenly interrupted the performance, exclaiming the piece of news he had received.

"Who is it that has such great courage?" The Spencers were shocked by such news.

"It's said that it was a traveling transcendent. After he saw the townspeople being oppressed, he killed our people."

"And..."

As he spoke of the last part of the news, the servant looked up at a noble lady and didn't dare to continue.

"And what? Just say it!" Baron Spencer said with a cold face.

"Aside from killing our seven deacons, he also killed Haus."

Haus was the leader of the ruffians that Arthur had killed. Additionally, he was the son of Baron Spencer's cousin.

Hearing this news, a lady who was watching the dance immediately fainted. Obviously, she was Haus's mother.

Baron Spencer threw his glass to the ground!

Smash!

The loud noise made the servant's heart skip a beat. He immediately knelt on the ground and didn't even dare to breathe.

Baron Spencer roared out of fury, "Those lowlifes can't even be compared to livestock! He actually dared to kill Haus for those weaklings!"

"Where's the murderer now?"

Baron Spencer stood up and wanted to kill the transcendent who dared to stir trouble. In the nearby towns, no one would dare to offend him.

But now, he was about to become a Viscount. If he were provoked like this but let it slide, his status within the nobles would be much lower.

The entire family of the last transcendent who had opposed him died in his hands. He was going to make this person pay the same painful price!

"Father, you don't have to do anything to this stranger. I just need to bring some security officers with me and deal with him."

While the Baron was furious, a firm and grim figure walked to his side. He was Baron Spencer's favorite son, Brour. 

He was only 19 years old but was already at the peak of energy level one. If given more time, he would be able to enter energy level two and become a powerful man like Baron Spencer.

Baron Spencer looked at Brour's muscular body and sharp eyes. After some thought, he nodded. With Brour's strength, he shouldn't have many opponents among the first energy level transcendents.

His son was enough to deal with an energy level one outsider. However, for safety measures, Baron Spencer disguised as an old man in a butler's uniform and said,

"Follow Brour and protect him. You had better bring me the head of that outsider."
