Chapter 177 The Infiltrating Eternal Night Cultists
In order to survive, they all put the blame on the strong young man, hoping to gain forgiveness from the noble lord in front of them.

Although what the "boss" said before made sense, that you will die sooner or later, and you should have a full meal before you die...but if you can live, who would want to die?

Better to die than live.

The "boss" who was abandoned by them was now lying against the wall, spitting blood from his mouth, his breath gradually weakening, and he looked somewhat miserable.

The black-clad guard was very powerful, having reached the sixth level of extraordinary realm. If he had not taken his young master's opinion into consideration, he would have held back. That casual attack would have been enough to take the life of the young man in front of him.

But even so, this random blow seriously injured the young man. If he is not treated in time, he may not survive the night.

Listening to his younger brother's words, the young man, who was still somewhat conscious, almost died of anger.

Even though he had known for a long time that his brothers were unreliable, weak as mice in a fight but fierce as tigers when fighting for food, he still felt very angry when he heard what they said at this moment. What a bunch of disloyal guys.

I guess I failed this time.

"Young Master." The black-clad guard ignored everyone's pleas for mercy and turned his gaze to the young man, asking for his opinion.

Hamer hesitated immediately. As a young nobleman who had read many books, he knew very well that something was wrong.

In the capital of a powerful kingdom, people would actually rob because they couldn't get enough food.

Was it their fault or the kingdom's fault?

"Master Hammer, please spare us, please forgive us this time! We haven't eaten for several days, and those restaurant owners don't want us, so we have no choice but to do this..."

"Please forgive us this time, my Lord. We will never do it again!"

"I……"

A few clever teenagers seemed to notice Hammer's hesitation and immediately increased their voices begging for mercy.

"Looking at your skilled movements, it's obvious that this isn't the first time you've done this. If I let you go, you'll definitely harm others in the future. Wouldn't it be my fault then!?"

As Hamer spoke, his eyes gradually became firm. Just when everyone was in despair, he slowly said, "But the kingdom is also responsible for your hunger. As a noble of the kingdom, I should bear part of the responsibility. It is not appropriate to kill you like this."

"Nowadays, all countries need soldiers on their front lines. You like fighting, so go and give it a try. Maybe you can even come back with an identity."

He then said to the black-clad guards, "Take them all with you and send them to the conscription office later."

The black-clad guard looked calm and nodded slowly: "As you command."

Upon hearing this, the people who were kowtowing were stunned.

Let them join the army?

Doesn’t this cost their lives?
Everyone knows that the Eternal Night Empire and the Alliance are fighting fiercely. With their small bodies, if they really go to the front battlefield, I am afraid that in a few days, they will become the enemy's record.

But after glancing at the murderous black-clad guards, they gave up the thought of begging for mercy.

He then continued to kowtow, shouting words of gratitude:

"Thank you for sparing my life, Master..."

Hammer ignored them and turned to look at the boy lying over there: "As for the guy over there..."

After thinking for a while, Hammer said, "Forget it, don't worry about him. If he can survive, it's his fate. If he can't survive, that's his fate!"

Withdrawing his gaze, Hammer turned around and left with everyone else.

Just then, something unexpected happened.

The faint light around disappeared in an instant, and the already dim environment became pitch black.

A cold voice sounded in Hammer's ears: "Boy, you are very interesting."

"Who is it!" Just as the black-clad guard was about to make a move, he found that his entire body was bound by dark vines and he could not move at all.

A man dressed in black and wearing a mask on his face appeared next to Hammer.

Looking at the mask on his face, Hamer, who knew a little about the Eternal Night Empire, was immediately shocked, with a look of panic on his face: "Eternal Night Cult?!"

"Oh, not bad. I've met so many people here, but you're the first one who can recognize this mask at a glance." The man touched the mask on his face and chuckled.

"Has the Eternal Night Empire already infiltrated into the heart of the kingdom?" Hammer asked in horror, not caring about his own safety.

"Almost. There are no fences here and no identity verification, so it's very easy to sneak in." The man smiled and replied gently.

"What do you want to do, disrupt the order of the kingdom, or stir up civil unrest?"

"I can't tell you this now..."

The man smiled and shook his head, "Okay, enough small talk, come with me."

"Wait, you..."

Before Hammer could finish his words, the man waved his hand and darkness instantly covered everyone, including the guard and the young men, who disappeared from the spot.

"What is this?" The sturdy young man lying in the corner suffered more and more serious injuries, his eyelids began to roll, and his consciousness became blurred, but he was still shocked when he saw everyone disappear all of a sudden.

After a while, a gentle sound of footsteps was heard at the end of the alley. The sturdy boy opened his eyes with difficulty and saw only the blurry figure of a young man.

"Save...save...me..." The boy, who didn't want to die, shouted in a low voice.

"Don't worry, you won't die as long as I'm here." The young man who came over had an extremely handsome face and easy-going temperament, giving people the feeling of a friendly brother next door.

After checking the boy's condition, the young man couldn't help but complain: "He's really rough. Even if he wasn't taken away, he should have been killed."

The young man took out a bottle of recovery potion and poured it into the boy's mouth. The boy, who still had a desire to survive, quickly drank it.

Holding the boy's collar with one hand, the young man walked outside and soon disappeared.

The next day, a piece of news caused quite a stir in the capital, Bordeaux.

The top family in the Kingdom of Saint Ansa, the Duke of Austin's family, the young master with a strange personality has disappeared and is said to have been kidnapped.

This incident caused a huge stir in Bordeaux. The angry Duke of Austin issued a bounty, offering a huge reward of one million crystal stones, determined to bring the murderer to justice.

For a time, the whole of Bordeaux was caught in a frenzy. The slums, killer organizations, human trafficking organizations...all the places that could not be seen in the light were turned upside down.

After all, this is a million crystals.

Even if it is just the lowest grade, inferior crystal, it is a huge fortune for them.

Even this amount of money can buy a noble status in a remote area.

Unfortunately, even after digging deep into the entire Bordeaux, they still didn't find anyone, not even a clue.

The young master of the Duke of Austin's family disappeared miraculously.

……

Bordeaux, inner city.

East District. In a plainly decorated courtyard, in a guest room, the young boy Axe wakes up from his sleep.

"Where is this? Am I not dead yet? I remember being slapped in the face, and then...those bastards, they always said nice things like "die for me", but when something happened they sold me out." Climbing out of the bed, Axe recalled what happened, then thought of his brothers, and suddenly became annoyed.

"It seems that I was rescued by someone. However, considering my injuries at that time, ordinary medicines are probably useless... How could someone be willing to use precious recovery potions for a piece of trash like me, and a stranger at that?"

Feeling that his body was almost healed, Axe was very surprised.

Everyone knows their own business. If his injuries at that time had been left untreated, he would definitely have died.

Now it has fully recovered without even a scar left.

Looking around the room, I saw the bed, table, chairs and all kinds of furniture were neatly arranged.

Overall, the layout is very simple, without any clutter, and only contains useful items.

This family should be very wealthy.

Looking at the decoration in the room, Axe thought so.

"Awake." Just as I was looking at the layout of the room, a young man in a white robe walked in.

"Thank you for saving my life, young master." Axe quickly stood up and thanked him.

"No need to thank me. I just think you have quite a talent and it's a pity that you died like this."

This young man was naturally Su Xingyu. After breaking through several demiplanes and throwing several top legions in, he also gave himself a long vacation.

After all, after being promoted to the demigod realm, normal hard training has lost its effect, and there is no need to stay in the divine realm all the time.

So after leaving an avatar in the Eternal Night Empire, he began to wander around the continent.

As we walked around, we arrived at the center of the northern continent, the capital of the Kingdom of Saint Ansa.

Seeing that the living environment here was pretty good, he decided to settle down.

"I have good talent? Uh, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" After hearing him say that, Ax didn't know what to say for a moment.

He has a lot of talent.

If he had really good talent, he would have become an extraordinary warrior long ago. How could he end up in a situation where he can't even afford to eat?
Since Axe has not yet surrendered, Su Xingyu cannot view its attribute panel for the time being.

But now he doesn't need to do so.

His powerful strength allowed him to clearly feel that the young man in front of him contained a very strong blood force.

The reason why it was not shown before was mainly to protect the boy.

His frail body and fragile will could not withstand the powerful force of his blood.

Su Xingyu looked at him and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't make a mistake."

After that, without waiting for him to speak, Su Xingyu said:
"Okay, you must be hungry after sleeping for a few days. Go eat something first. If you have any questions, ask them after you have filled your stomach."

After saying that, he turned and walked out. Axel was full of doubts, but he followed him obediently.

When he came to the living room, all kinds of food were already placed on the dining table. They were delicious and attractive. Just by looking at them, Ax felt like his mouth was watering.

The puppet butler Sebastian, wearing a black suit, stood respectfully by the side.

Axel, who had seen many people, could tell the peculiarity of this butler at a glance.

Many noble families have a butler to help manage household affairs. Their status is even higher than that of some noble young masters, so they are often very majestic.

The butler in front of him was more majestic than any butler Ax had ever seen. Just standing next to him, Ax felt a strong sense of oppression.

"Sebastian, thank you for your hard work." Su Xingyu glanced at the food on the table and nodded.

This time when he went out for a stroll, Su Xingyu did not bring any family members with him. He only brought a puppet, the butler Sebastian, who was responsible for taking care of his daily life.

After integrating the puppet's heart and going through years of study and training, Sebas is now no different from a normal creature.

And after two rounds of upgrades, his realm reached the ninth level of the Holy Domain.

However, its combat capability is not that good, and it is one of the weaker ones among the ninth level.

After all, he is not a combat puppet, so it is normal that his combat ability is not good.

Sebastian nodded respectfully and slowly backed out.

"What are you looking at? Aren't you hungry?" Su Xingyu looked at Ax and said puzzledly.

"Are all these for me?" Looking at the delicious food on the table, Axe swallowed and asked uncertainly.

"What else?" Su Xingyu asked back.

"Then I won't be polite." Anyway, he owed enough, so he didn't worry about having too much debt. Axe was no longer polite and started to eat with big mouthfuls.

He ate it voraciously, chewing it a few times without even tasting it, and just swallowed it down.

The recovery potion did heal his injuries, but it also consumed his stored energy, and now he was starving.

Seeing him like this, Su Xingyu frowned slightly, but didn't say much, just said: "When you are full, go find Sebastian and ask him to take you to take a bath, and then come to the backyard to find me."

"Okay...ok." Axe nodded quickly with a chicken leg stuffed in his mouth and replied vaguely.

……

Three hours later.

After eating and drinking and taking a bath, Axl came to the backyard under the guidance of Sebastian.

As soon as he walked in, Axe saw Su Xingyu, who was sitting quietly by the pond with a fishing rod in his hand.

After bringing Axe over, Sebastian turned around and walked out of the backyard in small steps.

Gritting his teeth, Axe walked towards the pond and came to Su Xingyu's side. Before Su Xingyu could speak, he spoke first:
"You saved my life. Although I am not a good person, I know how to repay your kindness. From now on, my life is yours."

"It's no use trying to kill you."

Su Xingyu glanced at him and chuckled, "I said before that you have great talent. It would be a pity if you died like this."

"Then I..." Axel touched his head, really unable to understand Su Xingyu's thoughts.

Is this the way big shots do things?

He actually took out a bottle of expensive recovery potion to help a stranger just for such a ridiculous reason as "what a pity".

After putting the fishing rod back, Su Xingyu looked at him and said directly: "After this death crisis, the blood in your body has begun to awaken. I give you two choices, go forward or retreat. If you want to embark on the extraordinary path, I can help you. If you want to continue to be an ordinary person, it's fine, but I will take away the blood in your body and give you a fortune that can last the rest of your life as compensation."

Axel fell into deep thought.
