The Lord Is Too Overbearing

Chapter 46 An Egg Needs To Be Incubated To Hatch



Familia inn was temporarily closed due to last night's tragedy. Although there wasn't much damage caused to the inn, the visit of Cleaners was enough to push away any potential lodgers. Therefore, it was wiser to close it temporarily.

Surely, that didn't mean Danzel chased away the lodgers who had stayed at the inn prior to the event. He still let them stay. Most of the lodgers who were absent last night decided to leave while the minority decided to stay.

p Surprisingly enough, the surviving victims of last night's tragedy decided to stay too. Although no one said anything about the detail of the tragedy, Danzel hadn't thought the ladies would stay in the place where they got their bad memories.

It turned out, he was wrong. However, he could somehow guess their reason.

"You sure are busy, aren't you?"

"No one can buy time. I have to use it wisely."

"Huuh..."

Danzel could only sigh in exasperation at Basil's response. They had finished the breakfast and washed the dish not long ago. However, as soon as Danzel was about to suggest them to chill, Basil said he wanted to leave.

"Well... Basil says it himself. He is having a business. I think it won't take too long."

"Who knows. His 'business' last time involved ofhaving a trip at a Nameless Region after all."

"That is.. aha-ha-ha..."

Clarissa looked at Basil awkwardly. She seemed to find it funny her father was so reluctant to let Basil go. However, she didn't fully disagree with him as she found it rather hard to let Basil go too.

Basil merely curved his mouth faintly and replied, "I am just going to sell some of my unused weapons at the market. It won't take long."

"Are you in need of money? If so, I can—"

"No." Basil shook his head and continued, "I have too many of them that they became useless. It is better to change them for some gold instead."

"Oh..."

Danzel nodded dumbly. Clarissa slapped her forehead while shaking her head helplessly. There were two things Clarissa could never forget from Basil's words last night, and one of them was his claim of being rich.

There was no way he needed money from her father! Her father was a generous man, however he had just being generous to someone who didn't need it. Her father might be fine, however she got the second hand embarrassment!

"Don't worry. I will return with some workers to renovate our home."

"Ay.. you don't have to do that. There is no need to waste your money on that."

Danzel merely waved his hand with a smile. He was elated by two things. First, Basil's initiative. Second, him calling the inn his home. He didn't even register the fact that Basil wasn't really his blood related son.

"I am sure there will be many lodgers would stay at our inn in the future."

Basil leered at Clarissa who wore the Charmer's Pendant around her neck. He had given it to her the night before as he deemed it necessary. Not only did it increase her attractiveness, it would also make her life easier for the future.

She could negotiate with people easily, she could convince people easily, she would be treated with courtesy by most of the people. As it was self-sustained, Clarissa didn't need to use her Qi to activate it. Therefore, she could wear it anytime.

"Oh! I've seen it with my eyes. It really works! There were already some men gazing at her as if they were about to propose her right there right then."

"Father..."

Chill.

Danzel's entire body shook by the time he looked at Clarissa's chilling gaze. He had been just joking earlier, however his daughter seemed to not take it quite well. How could he understand her daughter's heart?

Just what are you talking about? Don't you see I have my eyes on someone already?!

Her eyes were intended to convey that. However, it was only the intention. What Danzel saw was an entirely differently matter. He was seeing an ice queen about to kill her offender when he looked at her eyes.

"Haha."

A low chuckle was heard. It was very faint, however they knew who it belonged to. They looked at Basil in a barely concealed shock. Basil had always been stoic ever since he first met them.

Although he would smile faintly, that was the best they could get out of him — even his biggest smile had been faint too!

However, that Basil had chuckled! They were shocked through their Core. The young man in front of them, who didn't even blink while butchering tens of his enemies, just chuckled!

Gasp!

Basil had one of his eyebrows twitched due to the father and daughter duo. They seemed intentionally doing that as he could see the exaggerated expression in their faces.

Just like he had thought, in the next moment, they started to laugh. It was extremely surprising considering what they had just faced the night before. However, nothing family couldn't do. Yes, family is the strongest.

Ever since he came here, he had labelled himself as the family of Danzel. He had been very close with Danzel in his past life that he had been hit pretty hard when Danzel had died. For him, who had no family, Danzel had always been his family.

Even though it was all in the past, the fact wouldn't change in this time. Luckily, they could became close just like any other family.

...

In a worn down building located in the middle of forest, two silhouettes were standing against each other. One of the silhouettes was of a fairly tall stature, standing around 181 cm. While the other was on the shorter side.

"Hmm.. you said you couldn't track him?" One of the silhouettes, the taller one, spoke at the other lowly. The shorter one replied simply, "Yes." It made the the taller one hummed once again.

The taller silhouette raised his hand to his forehead and massaged it in frustration. As if he couldn't bear it any longer, he pulled his hood down. A very familiar face was revealed, however the expression wasn't good.

"I have paid you so much, but you still can't bear any result?!! Are you messing with me?"

Boom!

Three Magic Circles floated behind the enraged man, parting the surrounding air due to the abrupt power explosion.

"We are very ashamed about it, however we have tried our best."

Facing the enraged man, the shorter one replied him calmly. He didn't even blink his eyes that were partly visible under the hood. Looking at this, the man, who was revealed to be Nicholas, became even more enraged.

"Hah! Look at this guy. A mere assassin dares to play with me, a noble?"

Nicholas snorted coldly. He was beyond frustrated due to the incompetence of the assassins he had hired. He had hired them for more than a month, yet they couldn't even track a single brat! How infuriating!

"We will make sure to track him this time... Sir..?"

The assassin still replied Nicholas calmly. However, due to the lack of Nicholas' reaction, he paused his words and observed Nicholas warily.

"Don't worry. I will hire another assassin."

Nicholas stated coldly. His eyes shone briefly before he swung his hand forward and the ground below the assassin surged upward, creating spike on its wake.

!!!

Stab! Stab! Stab!

The assassin was skewered even before he could react. Even if he could've reacted, he would still die in the next attack. An Early Stage Yellow Core Knight could never stand a chance against a Third-Circle Mage with two Major Circles.

"Kuhuk!"

That was the best reaction the assassin could muster. Every parts of his body were pierced, leaving only his head intact. Even his windpipe was blocked by the spike piercing his throat. Not long after, he died just like that.

Nicholas looked at the lowly assassin coldly. He was clenching his jaw in fury. He would like to do the job by himself, however he couldn't do that. After knowing Basil had that Spellcaster Blake's backing, doing that was equal to suicide.

"Huuh... What a trouble."

Nicholas turned his body away and returned to his manor in silent rage. On the way, he was trying his best to keep the fume of rage from getting out.

...

"Mmm..."

"Do you like that?"

"Yes.. mmm.. go ahead."

"As you please."

A man and woman was having their bodies glued onto each other. The man was currently on top of the woman trying his best to please the woman. Apparently, the man was quite skilled as the woman was having the best of her time.

"Mmm..."

"Ugh.. I'm close."

"It's okay, I am too."

While moaning in pleasure, they made sure to check into each other's expression. They were drenched in their sweat. They had been doing that for hours, however they were still overwhelmed with ecstasy.

Finally, the time that each of them had been waiting in each sessions came. They kissed each other passionately, leaving them breathless. The man gave a look at the woman for a while before slumping in the bed.

The man gazed at the woman beside him and muttered in each breath, "Huuh.. that was good. I wonder.. did you do it like that too with your husband, Catherine?"

Surprisingly, the woman was Catherine Cobham, the wife of Viscount Nicholas Cobham. She looked at the handsome man beside her and replied him.

"We don't do it that much lately, but he has never been as good as you, Justin."

"Well, I'm glad."

Gasp!

The man turned out to be Viscount Justin Escher, who was none other than the father of Shirley's classmate, Daniel Escher. If anyone were to see them together, everyone would surely gasp in disbelief.

After all, who could have guessed? Catherine looked so much like a caring woman for her family. No one would think she had the audacity to do that.

"So... Are you still hiring the assassin to look for your son?"

"Yes. I thought you knew it, since you are the one who pays them."

"Well.. I don't really care about that, as the money I have spent is trivial."

"Show off..."

Both of them looked at each other's eyes and laughed like a loving couple. Their meeting could be said as a fated encounter. A man who had just lost his wife, and a woman who was unsatisfied with her husband.

It had been love at first sight. By the time they had seen each other's eyes, they had just clicked. Thus, they decided to taste the forbidden fruit, which was having an affair. Sadly, it was only what Justin's thought. The truth was far from that.

'Yes.. you just need to keep dancing in my palm. You get my body, and I get your everything.'

Justin was the product of one of Catherine's 'business'. She had been looking for a suitable stepping stone for her, until she met Justin. Unsurprisingly, she could lure Justin into her trap.

A simple encounter and a short talk at one of the gatherings had been enough to make Justin completely dance in her palm.

'I will do everything I can to achieve my goals.'

She was an ambitious woman. She would use every resources she had to achieve anything she wanted. Her main precious resource was her body. She was aware of her sex appeal. It wasn't her first time doing it. She had done it countless of times.

Even Nicholas was the product of her hardwork. She wouldn't stop doing what she did, therefore there was a need to look for Basil who seemed to know her secret. She would never let anyone standing in her way. Not even her daughter, let alone her non-blood-related son.

Her eyes glinted in a chilling manner for a brief second.
