Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 263 - Unfazed

The old man shook his head, "Not only that, that daughter of mine had tremendous combat skill ever since a young age. I know that praising and exaggerating a child is a mother's natural ability but I have to admit she is unbelievable."

Lyon clapped his hands once, "Then you don't need to worry right? Your daughter could prove herself, or maybe she already did?"

The old man let out a sigh before turning around and faced him with weary eyes, "If only that was the case. That daughter of mine, she uh, has zero interest in the wealth her grandfather has."

"Like zero-zero? As in a big ZERO?"

"A big zero, yes."

Lyon let out a sigh before he patted the old shoulder, "My condolences old man, but having a fierce and talented daughter is a blessing nonetheless."

The old man let out a sigh, "A talented woman is definitely welcome, but a fierce one? *sigh, I wonder if she would ever marry somebody one day."

Lyon suddenly whistled, "Boys! Prepare the boat and leave the meat for the demonic beast for those starving nagas hiding behind those shallow water. C'mon father-in-law we need to dispatch immediately otherwise your daughter will be lonely for too long!"

(Eh? Father-in-law?) thought the old man as he was dragged by the young man by the hand. Both of them and the two servants immediately got on the boat before Lyon muttered a spell. The surface of the boat that touched the sea lit up before the boat suddenly moved on its own.

"Wah? Young one, I see you have a water elemental affinity huh? Uwah this is quite neat, isn't it? Oh, I see, you need to constantly infuse the magic brand with mana to control both its direction and speed."

"That's right father-in-law, although, one of your answers is wrong there hahaha, hold on!"

With a grin on his face, he furrowed his eyebrows in delight. He stretched his left arm forward before he wrote a spell, "Basic Magic: Shockwave."

A green magic brand appeared from the boat's rear before it lit up then flashed. A loud boom was heard before the wooden vehicle was nowhere to be seen from its original spot.

Breaking the wind, the four of them had their hair fluttered against it.

(Wind?! Does he also have a wind affinity?! A dual-element cultivator?! But most importantly!) the old man looked at the young man's broad back. He was standing fearless against the wind with his arms crossed, his confidence was unbound.

"Young man! We are going too fast! Do you know where are we going?"

(Eh, ahhh shit!) Lyon never thought that far ahead.

Lyon turned around and only smiled innocently as he rubbed his head. Black lines immediately formed over the head of the others.

"Don't worry father-in-law I got this!" said Lyon with a thumbs up.

The old man opened his eyes wide before taking the two servants with him and rolled out of the boat in midair.

"Hey wait! Why are you—" Lyon immediately turned around before he faced a white wall, "Ah, I see."

The wooden boat was immediately destroyed upon contact but his figure made a hole on the wall as he went inside unwillingly.

The loud crash caught the city off guard as the people lived in it pointed out the debris and the hole in the building.

"Wow, what was that?" asked one of the pedestrians.

"Is it an invasion?!"

"No way, this city is the least profitable to be invaded and besides I swear I saw a boat crashing the guild hall."

"Are you high? What kind of boat would fly into a building?"

"Boats with wings?"

"Okay, you are definitely high."

The chattering of the masses didn't last long before a bald middle-aged man with a full thin beard and a powerhouse figure arrived at the scene. He wore a red V-neck sleeveless shirt with an ax on his back. His bulging muscle and the fact that the average height of the pedestrians was only as tall as his wrist rendered them in silence.

"What's this? Did someone dare to attack the guild hall? Hahahaha!"

His laughter reverberated the city before he said, "Disperse, there is nothing to see here. Go on with your days, and if you have any quests for the adventurers please place your note on the quest board."

The middle-aged man stretched his neck, "It's been a long time since I get to have fun, let's see here since the seniors are out of town I'm gonna have a little action."

The masses began to chat among themselves albeit secretly.

"It's Dhaos, I've heard that he was stationed here as a penalty for beating up the client!"

"What? Really?! Isn't it bad that he is in charge of the guild in this city?"

"Bad doesn't begin to cover it! Do you see his towering height? He is of a Giant race! You know how arrogant they are!"

"Argh, I hope the others are back soon to control his behavior."

Dhaos climbed the stairs before halting midway and turned around, "By the way, no words of what about to happen to the others! Got it?"

His threatening voice reverberated the area as the pedestrians immediately nodded.

"Good, good, hahaha!"

Dhaos knuckled his fist as the popping sound was heard before he stood in front of a huge double door. He effortlessly pushed it open before walking inside as he pulled out his ax, the door suddenly closed by itself with a snap of his finger.

The two servants that hide in the corner with the old man were worried however the old man was interested in the outcome of this confrontation.

"Giant race is blessed with enormous strength and heavy aura. Though their magic capability is a bit below average, they covered that with those iron muscles. What's interesting is that, that Dhaos fellow has a higher cultivation level than that young man. Hmm, surely he could flee from the battle but 'how' is the question I'm interested to have the answer to."

The old man furrowed his eyebrows, he noticed a slight torrent of mana was coagulating inside the guild hall.

*boom

The loud noise caught everyone off guard before they looked at the guild hall. Their eyes opened wide as they saw the huge double door bent outward. Another loud impact was heard as the floor and a bit of the stair cracked like a snake moving toward its prey. Before they could catch a breath, the double door exploded as a huge figure was flying in the air and blocked the sun for a second before falling down and crashed the paving way.

The pedestrians immediately looked at the familiar huge figure that was full of arrogance was now on the floor bleeding out. His eyes rolled back as his nose was broken. His ribcage was destroyed as his chest bent inward. However, the rest of his limbs were intact and unharmed by the slightest.

*swirl

An ax suddenly came out of the entrance before it landed right beside Dhaos's head. The closest pedestrians immediately crawled back before gulping his saliva.

*tap*tap*tap

A figure walked out of the entrance before he stopped and crossed his arms.. His eyes were sharp and unfazed by the gaze of the others as he looked down at the giant that rested on the floor.
