This is a robbery part 2

"Do you want to know something little elf, you piss me off... this was supposed to be a reverse robbery, not a pity party, identify yourself before I Ram my hand into your heart" Aetheris suggested with a smile as his hand began to phase, the unwilling elf gulped as he looked at Aetheris

"My name is Vincent von Astral-burg, I am a ..."

"Wait, so you're a noble; having von in your surname makes you a noble, and having two separate surnames makes you royalty...

Does that mean I'm a Prince, no mother would've told me... Continue Vincent burg" muttered Aetheris as he looked at Vincent, he had blue eyes, pointy ears, and black hair that was losing color and he looked scrawny and famished

"It's Vincent von Astr..."

"I said continue Vincent Burg"

"Ok, I hail from the Burg kingdom, also known as the Rival of the Jura Kingdom. Long story short, I was born with a mediocre talent for a noble, but I was still a Prince. I had a lot of resources to be a practitioner..."

' Remiel, use deep [Systematic appraisal]. This young man looks suspicious,' requested Aetheris as he looked at Vincent. His instincts were not suspicious of Vincent, but his paranoia was.

"Hmmptff, Gregor, that bastard, just because he's the next in line for the crow,n, he thought he could steal my fiance without consequences..."

"Wait, wait, wait, I know you are...a Prince, but what number in line are you? "inquired Aetheris as he interrupted the venting Vincent. Vincent, being a Prince, opened new doors for Aetheris, such as demanding a ransom. e.t.c

"Ahh, among my 350 siblings, I am the 275th, and Gregor is the 45th,..."Vincent replied with a sigh; despite being 70, he looked like he was 17 due to his prolonged life span as an elf.

Vincent could be described as average at best when it comes to talent; one should know orders are not merely numbers since the difference between them is like heaven and earth.

Orders are very complicated since even though people are in the same order, it doesn't mean they are equals, especially higher races who ignore some restrictions.

If certain requirements are met, A peak 10th-order high human can defeat an average initial 9th-order of a lower race due to racial advantage because higher energy reserves don't mean a better win, in this case it means having a higher order doesn't make one a winner.

Orders fundamentally are complex similar to pathways since one doesn't merely get stronger they change too, a mediocre initial ninth order can easily destroy a building while an mediocre initial 8th order a city block but an mediocre initial 7th order can easily destroy a small city and this is merely mediocre beings not even average , talented ones or geniuses.

"Your story is interesting, so I'll humor you [Holy purification] " muttered Aetheris as he waved his hand and cleaned Vincent, he approached Vincent and poked his chest as countless threads began to form creating clothes on Vincent replacing his old rags

Two simple wooden chairs manifested, and a poorly made table filled with food and beverages, Vincent began to cry and drool as he saw the food

"It's better to form a friendship over a meal and I know how to treat my 'friends' very well" replied Aetheris with a wink, from his experience, people are easier to exploit if they are not even aware, and in this case, Vincent had many weaknesses such as hunger, thirst, and a weak mind.

Vincent began to devour the food like a wild beast, the entire table was being cleaned by a single person... shamelessly.

"Vinny, c'mon, don't just sit there eatin' in silence. We're tryin' to build somethin' here, ya know? A friendship, somethin' real. But what's the point if only one of us is benefittin'?

You're breakin' my heart, Vinny. I ain't askin' for much—just a little conversation between us, capisce?" Sighed Aetheris as he touched his chest, feeling his 'broken' heart, Vincent coughed as he felt embarrassment overwhelm him.

"Sorry, as I was saying, my brother Gregor stole my fiance, who was my childhood sweetheart, but I couldn't let that slide...

You see, that lucky bastard I call a brother was born with a mystical ranked Spring yang constitution, and his breathing technique prevents him from indulging in sex at his current level," Replied Vincent as he continued to eat while unaware of the expression of Aetheris, life without snu snu was what surprised him.

"As a Crown Prince and the next in line my brother has many wives, his cultivation technique makes them.. unsatisfied sexually so I helped by giving him a green hat"

"Pfft WHAT!!!, why didn't you leave and explore the world and after your journey, you would defeat him ten years later " questioned Aetheris as he saw the prideful smirk on Vincent's face, it was a smirk of ' I'm HIM'

"I thought about that first, but he was waiting to taste his wives first, so I thought...If I do so, firstly, it would break him as he would be alone, and he would be hindered in his pathway growth due to trust issues...

But the consequences of my actions caused him to break my True veins and origin Core including my Loyal servants while banishing me in the process" Vincent replied as killing intent filled his eyes

"So I began to look for ways of healing me and my servants, I met an elder who told me about these barren mountains but in the process of coming here I was robbed... 7 times"
