The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 44: Luke's Belongings

As he calmly descended the stairs, Minos decided to take a look at the young Luke's belongings. 'Considering the Nash family's economic power, this young master must have considerable wealth...' He thought to himself before checking Luke's spatial ring.

Minos was not concerned that Luke's subordinates had done something for his soldiers. That's because the beautiful Ruth was with the group.

In the past few days, while living with Ruth on a daily basis, Minos had learned a little about the young woman. He knew she was at level 45, just 18-years-old. She also had an enviable Silver-grade talent, which made her an important disciple of the Gray Cloud Sect.

With that, considering the support she had within this Flaming Empire sect, she certainly had Silver-grade techniques. And even though Ruth didn't tell Minos about her techniques, he was sure that she had at least 2 techniques at this level.

That's because even the Brown Kingdom royal family had one… So, a sect like the one Ruth came from certainly had many of those techniques. That way, an important disciple with her would certainly receive excellent treatment.

So, Minos was confident that unless a Spiritual King intervened, Ruth could handle any situation. And he knew that, in the north of the Central Continent, no one would put someone on this level to protect a young man within his own city.

Hell, even if these young masters left their kingdoms, their families still wouldn't send someone like that to protect them!

This would only happen if they left the northern region of the Central Continent. But this was not common, and it was far from the current situation of Minos.

As to why the families did not protect their young masters so much that they sent Spiritual Kings to protect them, well… That is because there were few individuals at this level. Even when analyzing the numbers of an entire kingdom, there would still be no more than 300 people at this level!

Thus, the chance for a Spiritual King to act against the most privileged descendants of a large family was very small. And these young masters were also educated never to offend someone of this level, especially when they were away from their families.

So, there was no need to use the few experts at that level to escort young masters. Anyway, Minos finally managed to probe the young Luke's spatial ring after a few breaths. contemporary romance

'Oh! As expected, there is actually a Silver-grade technique! Not only that, it's a cultivation technique, something that can greatly speed up someone's cultivation speed...' Minos thought to himself, looking at the silver parchment in his right hand.

It also explained why Luke had a higher level than the young master of the Silva family, Darell. Despite being almost the same age, the young master of the Nash family probably trained a Silver-grade cultivation technique since he was 10-years-old. Meanwhile, Darell used only a Black-grade technique to cultivate.

Minos then looked at the other items inside the ring. There were 50,000 low-grade crystals, 300 medium-grade crystals, 1 grade-2, low-grade, weapon, 3 other grade-1 weapons, 4 Black-grade techniques, and several grade-1 spiritual pills.

'It looks like the Nash family is actually a lot richer than the Silva family…' Minos thought as he looked at Luke's belongings.

…

On the first floor of the building where Minos and his group were, there were 4 men beside the stairs he had passed previously. Anyone who looked at it would immediately think they were on guard in that place.

And indeed, that was the group's purpose, but their justification was that they were preventing their master from being irritated by contacting more people than he needed.

Another man was sitting on a chair, who was behind a bench, near the stairs. This man wore silver armor and had no hair on his head.

These 5 men were the subordinates that the young Luke had brought into this trap.

At the same time, another 5 people were divided into 2 groups. With 4 men in similar clothes, one of them is waiting by the window, and a beautiful young woman, with long black hair, was sitting in an armchair, not far from the counter of the bald man.

During the time that Minos had gone up to see the 'array master,' there was no action on the part of the 10 people who were here at that time.

On the side of the Minos group, this was just a business, and although unusual, strange behaviors like that of this 'array master' were not new. Therefore, none of them suspected that this was a plan to separate Minos from them.

As for Luke's subordinates, they didn't want to take any chances because of Ruth. They knew nothing of this young woman, and she showed no discomfort while waiting for Minos.

What's more, they probably would not have to act since after their young master returned, they would leave immediately. And the group of Minos could not follow them, since the poor young man would certainly need urgent medical care…

That way, everything was peaceful on the first floor of the building.

Some time passed, and finally, footsteps could be heard coming from the stairs.

'It seems that the young master has already finished playing with that guy...' One of the 4 subordinates thought to himself, while he had a smile on his face.

'Eh? Already? I thought that Minos would last until the spiritual array stopped working, but it hasn't even lasted half the time…' The bald man thought, with a disappointed look on his face.

However, when they saw the person who had arrived by the stairs, the 5 men were completely pale in surprise.

'What happened? Why was this person here? Shouldn't he be almost dying? But if he is here, what happened to the young master?' They all had these questions in their minds.

At the same time, Minos' group was confused when they saw the young Stuart's clothes, with some tears in his belly and the tired look on his face.

Ruth then got up from the chair where she was sitting and asked. "What happened?"

"No big deal, that was just an idiot's joke," Minos replied, without giving many details.

At that moment, the bald man in silver armor put his thoughts aside and asked aloud while looking at Minos with a murderous look. "What did you do with the young master?"

"Oh! If you're talking about that blond idiot, well… You better go and see him. He might be needing your help…" Minos said with a strange smile on his face. Although Luke was not hurt so badly that he was at risk of death, he still needed help.

And even if Minos didn't want to create an even bigger problem for his newly initiated alliance with Elen, he still wanted to scare these guys.

"Miserable, if something happened to the young master, I will have no mercy." The bald man said as he placed one of his hands on a sword that was at his waist.

"Two of you are going to check on the young master's situation. The rest are here to help me capture this bastard." Guard Brian said as he looked with the other Nash family subordinates.

Meanwhile, Minos was heading for the building's exit as if none of this had anything to do with him. He then heard an angry cry from behind. "Little bastard, don't even think about leaving. Now that you have attacked the young master, you will have to pay for your crimes in the Nash family!"

While saying this to Minos, Brian quickly turned his gaze to Ruth. If he wanted to capture Minos, he would have to go through this young woman first.

As for the remaining two guards, they were already prepared to act against Minos' 4 soldiers.

Minos then looked at Ruth and said with a smile on his face, teasing the beautiful young woman beside him. "Ruth, you talk so much about the greatness of your sect. Why don't you show me how capable you are?"

"Hmph, don't expect me always to help you in those months that I will be with you!" Ruth warned him with a serious expression on her face.

Soon after, Ruth activated her techniques and started to fight against the 3 subordinate men of the Nash family. Of these 3, the strongest was guard Brian, who was at level 46, while the other two were at levels 43 and 44.

Pow!

Ruth quickly moved forward and started to press the 3 men towards the opposite side of the building while throwing several punches.

She then approached the weaker guard and punched him in the face.

Pow!

"Ahhh!"

The level 43 man screamed in pain as he fell after being punched in the face.

His body staggered backward, falling to the ground next, as he tried to hold his face with unfocused eyes. This punch had sunk his nose, making him bleed heavily.

"Ahhhh!"

At the same time, a mouthful of blood and a few teeth was spit out by him as he gradually lost consciousness.

It did not take long and another guard, at level 44, had the same fate, falling to the ground while suffering from the serious damage caused by the beautiful young woman.

With that, there was only the bald man, Brian, who was struggling with everything he had. 'Shit! Shit! How can she be so strong?'
