24: Chapter 24 The Reaction of the Nobles of Decker City
"The Bauhinia Family is truly worthy of their reputation. Perhaps we should stay away from the descendants of these great families from the Royal Capital in the future..."
"Too strong!! That Loren Grant is the strongest young man I have ever seen..."
"I fear there isn't a single person in Decker City who can fight against him!"
"That is a Gold Rank Barbarian Chief! How many people have been defeated by him before? To carry the surname Grant is truly extraordinary."
The nobles of the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce dispersed amidst excited discussion, and by now, everyone knew.
From this day forth, that heroic and extraordinary young man would become famous among the nobles of Decker City.
It was not just that he had conquered the Barbarian that all the nobles wanted to conquer; it was the powerful demeanor he displayed that left them shaken.
Many of the noblewomen who witnessed that scene already had watery eyes.
Handsome features, a powerful family background, and extraordinary personal strength; Loren's various qualities could almost be called impeccable.
He perfectly fit the image of the Prince Charming in their dreams.
That same day, the first thing many noblewomen did upon returning home was to send people to investigate everything about Loren, and some even boldly asked their parents if they could arrange a marriage alliance with the Bauhinia Family...
Worshipping the strong is human nature, and in this chaotic and dangerous world, this nature is undoubtedly intensified.
The curly-haired noble and the blond noble, surrounded by their guards, walked out of the slave market with complex emotions.
The blond noble youth—Enli Stag, the only son of the Marquis Stag of Decker City and heir to the marquis title—wore a look of shame at this moment.
"I never used to think that the nobles of Decker City were inferior to those of the Royal Capital, but now, I have to admit, perhaps there really is a gap between us."
Thinking of that heroic youth who used Silver Power to shake the entire Barbarian tribe, he felt infinite emotion.
"I really don't know why such an excellent descendant came to the Northern Territory..."
After speaking, as if recalling something, he turned his head sharply to look at his guards.
"Go immediately and investigate what that descendant of the Bauhinia Family has done since arriving in Decker City!! I want all his information!!"
"Yes, Young Master Enli!"
After the guard left, the curly-haired noble also regained his composure and said with a hint of unwillingness.
"Young Master Enli, although that guy is strong, the nobles of our Decker City aren't bad either.
Some of our strongest guys have had the experience of fighting Gold Rank warriors using Silver Power; they just joined the City Lord's Gold Knights and haven't come out yet.
Otherwise, it would definitely be us nobles of Decker City who conquered the Barbarians!"
Enli Stag shook his head, "You don't understand. Those few who fought against Gold Rank warriors back then relied on the sharpness of their weapons and the sturdiness of their armor.
If you put on A-grade transcendent armor and wield an A-grade transcendent sword, you could also trade a few blows with a Gold Rank warrior wearing C-grade standard armor.
And defeating a Barbarian is nothing, but to shake a Gold Rank with Silver Power, and for the notoriously powerful Barbarian to have no resistance at all...
I have never seen such a domineering stance."
After speaking, his tone became solemn.
"More importantly, he is a descendant who came from the Bauhinia Family. Do you not know what that means?"
The curly-haired noble was stunned, and finally said dejectedly, "It means no one dares to make a move against this guy..."
With such a terrifying background, as long as he doesn't court death, it is almost impossible for anyone to target him. No one would want to be hostile to that transcendent family.
Bauhinia—these three words have long since merged with the Silver Moon Kingdom. The Northern Territory cannot afford to offend that legendary family.
Enli Stag nodded, "So, don't mess with this guy in the future."
"Young Master Enli, I'm not that stupid. This guy is simply not human; how could I provoke him!"
The curly-haired noble curled his lip. Thinking of the Barbarian Chief beaten into a pulp made him shudder. What a tyrant!!
Enli Stag nodded and said nothing more. When the servant brought the carriage over, he parted ways with the curly-haired noble and got into the carriage alone.
The luxurious noble carriage moved very smoothly without much jolting. In silence, the carriage drove into a vast estate.
"Young Master Enli, we are home."
The coachman elegantly opened the carriage door for Enli and bowed slightly.
Hearing the voice, Enli Stag, who had been deep in thought, finally snapped back to reality. After getting off the carriage, he walked into the estate in a somewhat distracted manner.
The magnificent layout of the estate could not attract his attention in the slightest.
Even when stepping into the hall in the center of the estate, he almost bumped into a figure coming toward him.
"Enli, what are you doing?"
Looking at the graceful figure before him, who was slightly angry, Enli was finally startled awake and quickly apologized.
"Sorry, sister, I was just spacing out..."
The girl, wearing a white dress and a white bird-feather hat with a tilted front, possessing a graceful and noble temperament, relaxed her slightly furrowed brows and then asked with some curiosity.
"Didn't you go to the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce? Why are you back so soon... Have those Barbarians been tamed?"
Before Enli could speak, a majestic voice came from the hall.
"Barbarians tamed?
Those stubborn wild bulls from the high mountains do not possess the bloodline to submit!
Even the Gold Knights have never made them bow their heads. A group of brash young boys who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth can make Barbarians submit?"
Enli's face revealed a strange expression, and then he turned to bow, hand on his chest, to the figure sitting on the luxurious, gem-encrusted armchair in the hall.
"Good day, father."
Marquis Stag, wearing a black noble suit, nodded, stood up, and came before the two, looking at the girl beside Enli with doting eyes.
"Ivy, if you can reach Gold Intermediate this month, perhaps you can give it a try. Although you can defeat Barbarians now, you still can't make them submit..."
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Enli and scolded him with displeasure.
"Enli, put away your unrealistic fantasies. Are Barbarians something you can conquer?
If you still can't reach Silver Intermediate this year, I will personally send you to the City Lord's Silver Knights for training!"
Enli shook his head with a complex expression, "Father, I want to go to the Silver Knights tomorrow..."
The graceful girl and Marquis Stag were both stunned.
They looked at Enli with faces full of surprise.
"What did you say??!"
Seeing their expressions as if they had seen a ghost, a look of determination appeared on Enli's face.
"Father, sister, perhaps you were right before; I really do need to improve myself.
House Stag should not decline in my hands!!"
The two looked at each other, their expressions even more surprised.
The graceful girl was the first to snap back to reality, staring at him with sharp eyes.
"Enli, who did you meet at the slave market? Did those guys from the Gold Knights come out??"
Only those terrifyingly strong guys who joined the Gold Knights could provoke such a big reaction from Enli.
Enli shook his head and looked at the two, his tone carrying a hint of fanaticism he himself hadn't realized.
"Father, the Barbarians were defeated by an outsider noble!!"
Marquis Stag raised an eyebrow and said with displeasure.
"Although the Gold Rank Barbarians are strong, they haven't activated their Bloodline Power yet. What's so strange about them being defeated?
Is this little thing worth making such a fuss about?"
Enli was silent for a moment, then said slowly.
"What if that person is only Silver Initial?"
"What?!"
"That's impossible?!!"
Marquis Stag and his eldest daughter Ivy instantly lost their composure.
How powerful are the Mountain Barbarians who grow up in harsh environments? At the same level, a Gold Rank warrior without awakened Bloodline Power needs at least two people to oppose them, and three to defeat them.
How could a Silver Rank defeat a Barbarian Chief?!!
Marquis Stag immediately reacted. Could it be that the other party used a transcendent weapon above A-grade??
That's it, it must be so. The bare-handed Barbarian was no match for the fully-equipped noble descendant; that makes sense...
But just as the two had found an excuse for the Barbarian Chief's defeat, Enli's next words left them completely speechless.
"Impossible?"
Enli's face showed a hint of longing and almost undisguised worship.
"Father, sister, what if that person defeated the Barbarian in hand-to-hand combat while bare-handed?"
"What if that person not only defeated a Gold Rank as a Silver Initial, but did so with an absolute crushing stance, killing the opponent in one move?"
"What if that person not only killed the Gold Rank Barbarian Chief in one move, but also took down the entire Barbarian tribe by himself?"
"What if that person is even younger than me, at most no more than eighteen years old?"
Marquis Stag, who had experienced many storms, was also surprised at this moment by Enli's fanatical tone.
Using Silver Power to kill a Gold Rank in one move, and even taking down an entire tribe alone!
And the one who did all this was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth!
Just thinking about this scene made him shaken.
This is truly a dragon among men...
The eldest daughter Ivy, the pride of Marquis Stag, a genius who stepped into the Gold Rank at the age of twenty-five, could not help but show shock at this moment.
She had never thought that anyone could defeat a Gold Rank Barbarian Chief with Silver Rank!
She, who prided herself on being a genius, actually felt inferior to the other person at this moment, and instantly felt a strong curiosity about the person her brother praised so highly.
Who exactly is this outstanding hero?
This scene was not just happening in the estate of Marquis Stag; the nobles who experienced the scene at the slave market today spread the news of the Bauhinia Family descendant defeating the Gold Barbarian with a Silver body almost frantically.
Suddenly, Loren, who had previously been quiet and unnoticed, became the focus of attention for countless nobles in Decker City.
