Chapter 258: Warren, The Young Master

Seeing that his guessing was correct, Lucien smiled confidently, "There’re only thirty or forty people here in the East Haven who are qualified for being called ’big man’, so it’s not very difficult to guess. And there’s no way that you work for one of the nine city lords, or you wouldn’t need to hide his name."

The metal armors were banging against each other from the back of the bar. It seemed that the chamber was underground, since the whole floor of the bar was shaking slightly.

Seeing that, the guests started leaving the bar, not because they were afraid or nervous, but because they were really used to it and they did not want to bother to be part of this at all.

Lucien, with his hands in his pockets, also headed for the bar gate. In the East Haven, countless people were from Schachran Empire, and Leo definitely wasn’t his only choice. Also, Lucien did not want any trouble at this time.

Seeing that Lucien was leaving as well, the man missing his left eye looked a bit confused, but he was smart enough to leave Lucien alone, since the young man had shown his great power. Instead, he turned around and ran toward the bar counter to stop the bar owner from getting out and rushing at the chamber.

If one without any backgrounds wanted to survive here in the East Haven, the person must know how to be patient and tolerant, since those who did not all ended up becoming food for the wild animals in the forest, or materials for necromancers...

Here, only the rule of sword and magic worked.

Lucien walked toward the gate casually, looking on the fight between the bar owner and the man missing the left eye. Their ways of using sword were all direct and simple, which was the typical Schachran style.

"How dare you people fight in Taran! The several city lords will make you pay!" shouted the owner. The bar owner had the power close to that of a real knight from the Blessing that he got from the potion many years ago. If he had been younger, he could have beaten the man quickly. However, now he was old, and the fight between them was intense.

In the East Haven, if a person wanted to run a bar like Taran, he or she must need to get the support from those big people.

The man missing the left eye hacked at the bar owner but the momentum of his greatsword was stopped by the bar owner’s shield. Quickly, he shifted the position of his greatsword to shove aside the owner’s sword. After a loud bang, the two of them took a few steps backwards, and seizing the chance, the left-eye-missing man sneered, "The young master doesn’t like Leo, and you hid Leo right down in your bar’s chamber! Leo pissed off our young master, and even the city lords cannot say too much about it!"

When most of the guests in the bar had already left, at this time, with a huge bang, the bar gate was broken into pieces by force and the pieces fell backwards. Several drunkards were hurt and their heads started bleeding.

Lucien slightly tilted his head and perfectly avoided a piece of wood from the broken gate. Through the broken gate, a bunch of guys walked in wearing black armors of the same style as the one that the one-eyed man was wearing. A young man with a gray cigar in his mouth looked like their leader, since he was not wearing any armor but, like Lucien, he was wearing a Holm-style white shirt, brown waistcoat, long jacket and a top hat. His face was featured, and his nose was tall and straight. In general, he was a good-looking guy, but he looked very gloomy and cold with his messy, black eyebrows.

Two guys stood beside him, one on the left and one on the right. The one on the left was short, and he was also dressing in Holm style, while the other guy on the right was big and muscular.

The young man looked around at the hall and casually picked a chair that was close to the gate and sat down. As soon as he reached out his right hand, a beautiful blond girl went down on her knees to undo his sleeve buttons. When she was doing this, the girl had no facial expression on her face, and her bust was seductively half-revealed in her Tria-style blue dress.

"Sir Jarolim, please go and get Leo," the young man said to the short man standing beside him with a smile. Finally, they had found Leo, the guy who ruined their great plan. Right now the young man’s anger was burning.

"Yes, young master," Jarolim answered in a plain tone.

Jarolim’s leather shoes were shining. Taking a step forward, his figure turned into a shadow, rushing to the back of the bar. Clearly, he had a real knight’s power. The power scared the remaining people in the bar, and they felt too nervous to move fast. Those people blocked Lucien’s way as well.

When Lucien finally got right beside the gate, Jarolim had already come back, grabbing Leo’s collar in his hand. Obviously, Leo’s power was not even close to that of Jarolim, not to mention the fact that he was besieged by so many people.

Seeing that they had caught Leo, the bar owner and the bartender stopped fighting against the swordmen and started thinking what they should do next.

Lucien took a quick glance at Leo out of curiosity, who was still trying to get out of Jarolim’s hand. Although he was only in his middle age, Leo’s hair was black mixing with white. His face looked gaunt, and his eyes, which were tightly closed right now, were surrounded by wrinkles.

Jarolim threw Leo to the ground right in front of the young man, Warren.

Leo’s body was covered with a layer of black flame, which had consumed all his strength to the point where he could not even stand up on his feet.

"Very nice to meet you, Mr. Leo." Warren leaned his body forward and slapped Leo’s face with his right hand, "You wanna say anything to me?"

Warren’s blue eyes were filled with violence.

Leo opened his eyes using great effort, and it looked like there was great pain in his green eyes but there was zero regret, "Warren, I just reminded the noble lady... I reminded her that you are a trafficker! Dare you say how many human beings, elves, dwarves and orcs have you sold to Schachran? I can’t let you do this to her!"

Warren sat back and smiled, "What a nice guy you are, Mr. Leo."

Then he fiercely kicked Leo’s stomach. Leo burst out a painful groan and was now writhing on the floor.

Then Warren sent his right foot in front of the blond beauty and made her clean his shoe carefully. He rubbed his chin a bit and said, "I’m confused, Leo. Why you always want to mess up with me? You don’t even know the chick? You like her?"

Leo was coughing, and he tried his best to answer, "This is... my principle... You cannot do this... to anyone."

"Wow, wow... Mr. Leo, aren’t you such a man with great knight spirit?" Warren suddenly took back his right foot and stepped on Leo’s head, grinding it against the floor, "What a pity... You’re not a real knight. You only deserve this... Your head being stepped on by a bad man’s foot, ha.

"Oh, I forgot the other thing you deserve..." Warren added, "There must be a reason that your whole family was killed, isn’t it?"

That really hurt Leo. His throat was making hoarse noise like a wild beast giving dying kicks. Seeing that, some other people present felt sympathetic, for Leo, and also for themselves.

Warren looked at the bar owner, "You don’t say anything. This guy has been messing up with me, and I have to show people how I deal with guys like him, or they would forget who they were."

The bar owner could not say anything.

Then, Warren said to his men, "Beat him up, then cut off his arms and legs. Hang the remaining of him on the wood frame out of the city gate and let the coyotes finish him at night."

As he was saying, he kicked Leo toward the man missing one eye.

As soon as the guy got Leo, he and his men started punching Leo fiercely.

At this time, someone was stamping on the floor, making a door-knocking noise. When the people in the hall all stopped what they were doing and looked back, a young man stood out and smiled to them, "Good afternoon, every one."

All the people present were more than confused right now.

Although Warren was also confused, he asked cautiously, "Do I know you?"

Warren was not stupid, although basically his powerful father could take care of everything for him. He knew that he must be careful with a guy who decided to show up like this in this kind of situation.

Lucien pointed at Leo casually, and all of sudden, Leo floated in the air and came next to Lucien.

"Mr. Warren, I need to hire Leo right now for my mission. You two deal with your stuff when the mission is done," said Lucien in plain tone, as if he was giving a command.

What Leo had done revealed that he was a principled, righteous person, and that was the kind of person that Lucien needed for his trip through Schachran, not to mention how he would feel if Lucien saved his life.

Sometimes, people felt that a person’s honorable characters and qualities were worth of nothing, but in fact, someday, they might save your life.
