Chapter 12

In an instant, all the elders gathered together.

The collective thought of the group of angry elders was something along the lines of—

They were the Nolan family’s elders. No matter how weak the family was, could a second-tier mage still afford to offend them? 

Under such circumstances, the group of elders couldn’t help but say as they angrily walked, “Hmph, kids these days are really too arrogant. A bug that came out of nowhere dares to provoke our Nolan Family!”

“He’s just a second-tier mage. I want to see which kid has the guts to do such a thing. When we meet, I’ll be the first to deal with him!”

“I’ll say, Otis, there’s no need for you to act now. That kid is about to be crippled by Bruce.”

“Tsk, tsk. The Nolan family is good at beating up anyone, yet they still insisted on beating up this lunatic’s daughter. That kid is going to end up becoming miserable. I remember the Murphy family’s kid who scolded Elena a little. He’s still lying in the bed, having to be attended to. He can’t get out of the bed, right?”

“If a kid dared to beat up Elena, then he’s dead meat for sure,” an elder who was aware of certain matters said slowly.

The Murphy family’s Third Young Master had only said a few bad things about Elena behind her back, but all of his meridians and bones had been broken.

Even now, he still couldn’t get out of bed.

The man who had beaten Elena to such a state would definitely experience hell-like torture in Bruce’s hands.

When it came to brute strength, they naturally weren’t worried at all. 

Bruce had the cultivation of a third-tier mage. He was only one step away from the Nolan family’s head, Lance.

Just the cultivation of a third-rank mage was definitely enough to push this kid to the ground and rub him against it a hundred times.

The elders could not help but laugh coldly.

With this thought in mind, the group stormed toward Christina’s residence in anger, led in tow by Bruce.

..

At the same time, in another place.

At this time, Austin—who had finished off Mycroft and Elena with two slaps on the street—followed Christina back home.

As the door was pushed open with a creak, Christina carried the medicinal herbs in one hand as she led the way into the room with the other.

Austin watched Christina’s back as she walked in. 

However, after this girl entered the room, she did not immediately deal with the medicinal herbs and brew the medicine as she had previously said she would while on the streets.

Instead, she casually placed the medicinal herbs that she had just bought on the exquisitely made table.

Austin just turned around and headed to the bedroom. He opened the wardrobe with one hand and rummaged for something.

Austin did not think too much about it. He immediately walked in and sized up the room he was in.

The room decorations were very gorgeous. There was exquisitely made furniture, wood carvings, and a lot of other things. The room was also very spacious.

It was already a pretty good standard for this small kingdom.

After that, he saw a tea table.

The Celadon teaware resting on it was of passable quality. 

Besides the teaware, there was a tea box placed discreetly beside it, a delicate tea fragrance emitting from it.

Immediately, Austin sat in front of the table, looking for a suitable seat. At the same time, he casually placed the medicinal herbs he bought on the table.

While he was doing this, Christina also walked out of the room at the same time.

After walking out of the room, Christina didn’t say a word. She was in a daze.

At the same time, she came to Austin who was sitting in front of the tea table.

After placing a small box in Austin’s hand, Christina immediately said, “Here’s some money. There are 20,000 gold coins in the storage ring. Take it and use it first. You should leave this place right now.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Austin’s eyes moved slightly.

He had an inkling of knowledge as to what Christina was attempting to refer to.

Naturally, he knew her concerns.

However, he did not take the small box. Instead, he placed the small box in front of the tea table and glanced at it at the same time.

As if he did not hear anything, he said, “The tea set is not bad. It would be a pity to not make a cup of tea.”

“Didn’t I tell you to leave? Why are you still standing here?” Hearing this, Christina was stunned.

But then, a hint of disappointment flashed through her eyes as she thought about something. 

Christina once again mustered up her emotions and said solemnly to Austin, “Austin, as my friend, I’m really touched that you helped me out today. But what I want to tell you is that the lady you beat up today is definitely not as simple as she looks on the surface.

“Her father, Bruce, is a deacon elder of our Nolan family. He is also the only alchemist with such terrifying power. At the same time, he is also a third-tier mage. You can’t beat him.

“Now, I reckon that when he finds out that Elena was beaten up, Bruce will definitely be furious. He’s already on his way here.

“I’ll be fine. After all, I’m still the Nolan family’s young miss. No matter how gutsy they feel, they won’t do anything to me. However, it’s different for you. With Bruce’s personality, he’ll definitely be so angry that he’ll want to tear you into a thousand pieces when he finds out about what happened.

“Therefore, I hope that you leave the Seth Kingdom as soon as possible and go as far as you can!”

At the end of her sentence, Chris was already a little worried and anxious.

However…

“Make some tea.” Austin still did not move at all. Instead, he reached out to pick up the lid of a teacup and said those words.

His reaction really stunned Chris.

What was going on with Austin?

She had clearly said that he was very grateful to him, and had also clearly emphasized the danger of this matter.

When Elena’s father arrived, what awaited Austin would definitely be a very terrifying situation.

And not only did he not look like he was trying to escape, Austin even wanted her to make tea to drink?

Christina was completely dumbfounded.

Just as the anxious Christina was about to urge Austin further to leave…

With a cold shout and a bang, the tightly shut door was suddenly kicked open!
