However, the murderous-looking Mycroft and the others had already arrived in front of them in just a few seconds. It was too late to escape now.

Christina, who was already in despair, had already prepared to use her body to block them from Austin.

However, at this moment…

A faint voice was heard.

“What even is the Nolan family?”

Austin spoke indifferently. He could see that the group of people rushing over were looking for trouble with him. However, they were a group of regular mortals in his eyes, just like the woman he had sent flying. 

He didn’t even need to look at them as he threw out another palm.

This time, Austin used a bit of spiritual energy.

As he threw out a palm strike—which was a terrifying swirl of wind that came from his palm mixed with his own spirit energy—it whistled out, accompanied by a strong gust of wind.

With a loud sound, the people who had just rushed in front of Mycroft were immediately hit by this wild wind. A burst of miserable shrieks was heard and in an instant, the magic dissipated as they flew out in all directions.

Boom! 

After the wind blew away several people, its power did not decrease. It then went on to forcefully destroy several fruit stalls in front of them, ruthlessly ‘slapping’ the group of people on the wall before dissipating.

For a moment, the remaining wind swept up the broken wooden boards and rolled away the fruits on the ground.

Hiss…

Mycroft and the others were knocked to the ground by Austin’s palm strike.

Even one of the servants at the outermost area, who had barely grazed against the attack, was sent flying seven to eight meters before he fell heavily to the ground. He felt as if his bones were about to break. A sharp pain surged through his entire body, making him tremble.

Just thinking about it was enough for one to know how terrifying the force was from Austin’s palm strike for the group of people that had received it head-on. 

For a moment, Mycroft, along with the dozen or so servants, could even stand up and straighten their bodies. They just lay there, moaning in pain. 

Right in front of this group of people was Elena, whose face had been slapped swollen.

At this moment, she had a blank expression on her face.

Just a moment ago, she was still angry that the young man in front of her dared to slap her in front of everyone. But now, she was ‘slapped awake’ by Austin’s second attack.

At this moment, she even began to rejoice that Austin had only slapped her once and did not kill her.

She thought of the consequences…

If Austin had used the power of the second ‘slap’ against her face…

Plop.

Elena’s face turned pale. She was so scared that her legs went limp and she fell to the ground.

This scene was also witnessed by Austin, who was right opposite her.

“Embarrassing.” Austin revealed a disdainful expression before he looked at Christina and said, “Okay, let’s go.”

At this time, Christina was still in shock from Austin’s ‘slap’ that sent everyone flying.

It wasn’t until she heard a voice beside her ear that she suddenly jolted back to reality. She was stunned for a moment and said without thinking, “Oh, okay!”

But when she came back to her senses, she saw that Austin had already walked forward indifferently.

After looking back at Elena and the others who had fallen to the ground, Christina immediately looked at Austin and said, “Hey, Austin, wait for me!”

As she finished speaking, Christina also hurriedly quickened her pace and followed Austin.

As the two of them walked with one another, they gradually walked further and further away from the scene.

In an instant, only Elena and her group were left on the street, as well as the passersby who were watching the show.

The storm had died down but many people were still standing rooted on the spot, unable to recover from the shocking scene that had just occurred in front of them.

From the first slap Austin gave Elena, to Mycroft and the other servants who went looking for trouble with Austin only to be sent flying, the whole process only took less than ten seconds.

Then, under everyone’s gaze…

Mycroft finally got up from the ground.

His face was as ugly as it could be. At the same time, he stared at the direction Austin had left with Christina.

Austin’s casual palm strike from earlier had still left some lingering fear in his heart. 

As a first-rank mage, he had clearly sensed that there were no magic fluctuations coming from Austin’s body. That was why he dared to rush forward with his men, wanting to cripple him.

But when he rushed in front of Austin, he clearly noticed that Austin had swung his hand and used a spell.

He was extremely sure that it was definitely a wind-type spell.

But during the process, there were no magic fluctuations emitted.

It was impossible.

In the Landry continent, when any mage used magic and gathered magic elements of various attributes inside of them, they would produce magic fluctuations.

He could not feel the slightest magic fluctuations when Austin had cast a wind-type spell!

Therefore, just based on this point, Mycroft was certain that the young man he faced just now was an expert!

At the very least, he was a second-tier mage.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to use a wind magic spell to send them flying when he could not sense any magic fluctuations.

However…

Even if he was an expert, he was still a little too young!

Pondering this, Mycroft gritted his teeth slightly, his face filled with mixed emotions.

After that, he walked in front of Elena and helped her up from the ground with one hand as he said, “That kid beat us. This matter definitely hasn’t been done and dusted so easily.”

“I think that kid went home with Christina so he won’t be outside for a while.”

“Come on, Elena. Let’s go home and find Uncle Bruce. We’ll let Uncle Bruce personally deal with him! Also… If that kid was brought home by Christina without reporting it to the family… Then I’m sure he’ll end up very miserable once the situation gets brought up!”

“That’s right!” After hearing what Mycroft said, Elena looked in the direction where Austin had left and coldly agreed with him.

The two of them didn’t care about the servants lying on the ground and rushed straight toward the direction of the Nolan family as fast as they could.
