Chapter 47: Attack
Asking them to follow him to take revenge on the city lord was really nothing more than his way of distracting them.
What he was really focused on right now was thinking of a way to keep them from telling Ramsey.
But how?
Secrets about their identities were clearly not enough to restrain them in this matter.
After all, if they told Ramsey about it, they could also ask him to help them overcome the trouble that would come if Aldric revealed their identity as robbers.
Therefore, Aldric needed something bigger to keep them tied to him.
He kept thinking of ways, even thinking of kidnapping them in the real world, but unfortunately he knew he didn’t have that ability.
In the real world he was just an ordinary man without any social status, in fact he just had a little money that was not worth mentioning to those rich people.
How could he kidnap two people?
Even people with a lot of money couldn’t do it easily.
Subconsciously, he almost called Jenny to ask her opinion, but he finally chose not to.
She would definitely blame him and asking for her help would ruin his prestige as a man.
When leaving the restaurant and walking towards the city lord’s residence, he almost always glanced at the two men.
They still kept glancing at each other secretly, as if they wanted to communicate but were unable to do so because he was right in front of them.
’Is it possible that if they continue to get involved with me, they end up thinking they will be mistaken by others as my official henchmen so that if I am proven to be the person Ramsey is looking for, they will also be blamed for having a role in helping me?’ Aldric wondered.
If he could make them feel that way, it might be a surer way to make them not dare to betray him.
Not long after, they arrived in front of the city lord’s residence.
"Boss, shall we just go straight in?" the Dead Fish asked Aldric.
At this moment, the city lord’s residence looked deserted and dark, with not even a guard.
However, Aldric could vaguely feel the aura of the middle-aged man.
It looked calm. Perhaps he was sleeping.
"Sure," he said, responding to the Dead Fish’s question.
He took a step into the courtyard that separated the city lord’s mansion from the street.
Seeing him move, the Dead Fish and the Demon Horse quickly put on their cloaks and masks.
They still did not want their faces exposed to the city lord.
In no time, they arrived at the door.
It was quite large, and locked from the inside.
"Hmph!" Aldric smiled coldly.
Since the door was locked, he immediately jumped into the air, heading for the window where the city lord’s room was located.
It was right overlooking the city, so when he jumped, his figure was immediately visible to the people.
The city lord’s room also looked dark. Although the window was curtainless, it was difficult to see inside.
Aldric didn’t plan to wake him up in a polite way.
He punched the air which produced a powerful shockwave.
When it hit the wall of the city lord’s room, the wall instantly collapsed.
BANG!
The entire mansion trembled from the destruction of the wall.
With no wall in the way, moonlight easily shone into the room, revealing the figure of the city lord lying on his bed, seemingly shirtless, embracing a tall and slender beautiful middle-aged woman.
Both of them woke up instantly, and sat up spontaneously.
Fortunately the woman had good instincts, she pulled the blanket with her to cover her body.
"Someone actually attacked the city lord’s residence, how dare." Everyone around the residence was in disbelief at what they saw, especially when they saw the city lord with his wife. They felt ashamed.
Their beautiful night was ruined by this attacker.
The city lord’s eyes were immediately drawn to Aldric’s face.
Others could hardly see his face with the hood covering his head, but the city lord with his piercing gaze could see his face quite clearly.
"Boy, how dare you!" The city lord’s face turned red with anger.
A horse symbol instantly appeared on his forehead then a change occurred on his body with horns appearing on his head.
When in this kind of situation, he instantly put on the cloak from his Storage Artifact.
Shua!
He leaped towards Aldric with his spear.
His strength was incredible and his movements were agile when he activated his Genesis Core.
If not being a Senior Magician, Aldric would have felt depressed. However, now he only felt that this city lord was a little threatening without being able to create any serious trouble for him.
He did not need to use the power of his Genesis Core against him.
His right fist was clenched as he activated his physical strength there.
However, there was something that surprised him.
This time, the light on the blood vessels in his hand actually spread out, rather than just staying in his blood vessels.
After that, the light seemed to solidify, then became something similar to a part of armor, gauntlets and bracers, covering his hand from his elbows to his fingers.
Aldric himself was somewhat surprised by this sight, wondering if this was an evolution of the Ancient Celestial Body.
This seemed to be making its own armor for him.
Just by looking at it, he knew that the gauntlets and bracers were harder than most armors.
Out of curiosity, he directly struck the city lord’s spearhead as he tried to thrust it at him.
His move this time clearly made the city lord realize that he had become a Senior Magician.
How strong was he after becoming a Senior Magician considering that when he was a Junior Magician, he could hit him?
Although somewhat worried, the city lord chose not to retreat. After all, the enemy was attacking his house, where he would put his face if he retreated.
BANG!
The tip of his spear finally met with Aldric’s fist covered in white armor.
Just as everyone thought Aldric was too reckless to hit the spearhead, the result of the collision instantly made everyone tremble.
Clang!
Crack!
After the loud impact sound, there was a shattering sound.
The spear that was made of rare-quality gold and silver suddenly shattered into small pieces the size of sand.
