“You want to take revenge?” Next to the transportation portal, Sui Xiong asked curiously.

Herman nodded, “Back then, my brain ain’t good. I was cheated and I lost my nobility. Now, I want to go back to punish the cheater, as he deserves!”

“Do you want to take back your nobility? Don’t think you going alone would be enough. I’ll send a few more people to help you out.” Sui Xiong said, “The most important thing in a drifter’s life is having three high quantities of brothers, weapons, and money. You going there alone with no money and power, it would be difficult to take revenge. Now that you belong to my church, why not hold on a little longer, until the very first martial art contest ends. By then, bring along a big bunch of brothers, pick some useful weapons from the warehouse and bring a large sum of money… that will do.”

Herman smiled and shook his head, “Thank you for your kind gesture, but my enemy is not anyone that is big enough to be on a tabletop. It isn’t worth Void Mask Church to have so many experts to deal with him. Plus, I wasn’t planning to take back my nobility. I only planned to take revenge. It’s quite simple, not that difficult.”

“When I was healing you, I saw your memory. Your surname is Armster, the heir to Armster Viscount in Holy Angels Kingdom. Armster Viscount was also considered a number one figure in Holy Angels Kingdom. If you were to head over to take revenge alone, it wouldn’t be easy!”

“The one that inherited the nobility is my younger brother that shares the same father but different mother. Our relationship isn’t that bad, I wouldn’t cause him much trouble.” Herman said, “But the elder brother of my stepmother, my uncle, he ‘took good care’ of me. Under his arrangement, I lost my nobility in a very humiliating way. If I don’t ‘repay’ him properly, I really can’t even sleep!”

“Huh?” Sui Xiong thought and recalled the incident where Herman lost his nobility. He couldn’t help but sigh.

Under his “friendly” uncle’s care, the silly Herman, who was just a Armster Viscount back then, was abducted by a few friends to the brothel and casino, then signed a number of debt notes. He “lent” a huge amount of money that was enough to purchase the entire Holy Angel Kingdom and “lost it”.

Herman of course couldn’t return the amount of money that was non-existent. Even with the entire wealth of Armster Viscount, it was only a drop in the ocean before the huge amount. His uncle seized the opportunity to step in and indicate that he was willing to help to solve the debt. But the price was that Herman had to spend the rest of his life in seclusion and never return to Armster City, and of course the nobility had to be transferred to his younger brother.

Herman was a silly man back then. Although he could feel something wasn’t right, he couldn’t tell what was going on. So, he conveyed his nobility and went to a village to be a forest ranger feeling crestfallen. He cut himself off from the world alone, having the mountains and forests as companions, and became a troop with the wild beasts.

Besides practicing sword craft, he had no other hobby. He practiced each posture of Armster family sword craft that his father taught him when he was young and reached the acme of perfection. He even trained up his terrifyingly sharp intuition like a wild beast.

When the very first martial art contest started, under the suggestion of a relative that came to visit him once in a while, he left the suburb forest that he had stayed in for ten years to participate in the contest in Void Mask Theme Park…..

Back then, because Herman had something wrong in his head, he was cheated. Then, now that he was smart, he suddenly understood why he got cheated. Which casino in the world would be able to lend out such a huge amount of money! Plus, he was naive back then, he had no idea how to gamble!

Hence, when he returned, he first planned to take care of the casino boss that cheated him, then kill the few servants that ganged up with his uncle that schemed against him, and finally to kill his uncle. Then, it would be considered done.

Especially that very last task had to be firmly grasped. Because his uncle recently fell critically ill, it was uncertain how long he could live. If he didn’t hurry, he could only bellow at the tombstone.

Sui Xiong thought and nodded, but he had Herman wait for a while.

After a while, a redhead man who looked weary yawned as he ran over helplessly, “Jellyfish master, didn’t we agree that I would be considered as working as long as I lie down and pretend to be a red dragon during the day time? Why did you ask me to go on field work….”

“Red dragon could be taken over by Frost temporarily. I cast a long-lasting gigantic spell, so his size should be around the same.” Sui Xiong smiled and said, “Herman is going to find his enemy to settle their resentment. We don’t have many old foxes in our church. There is only you that is clever and free. If you don’t follow to survey the scene, I can’t feel at ease.”

The redhead man was naturally transformed by the legendary creature “free weird bird” Fafnir. At first, he was lying by the side of “Dragon Cliff” to pretend to be a red dragon with his leather armor. The visitors could pat him and be amazed, and he enjoyed the job where he could sleep in peace while making money. That very momen,t he was woken up by Sui Xiong to head out for a mission, so he was of course upset..

But, at the end of the day, the boss was the biggest, no matter how upset Fafnir was, looking upon his salary, he could only take over the field work. He agreed unwillingly and was going through the transportation portal with Herman, but he suddenly stopped.

“Why?” Sui Xiong asked.

Fafnir looked Herman up and down. After a while, he turned around and said, “This is so pathetic! He simply looks the same as a beggar! Boss, you are too mean! At least change him into something decent!”

“And… Look at his hair, his moustache… Is he trying to act as a wanderer in one of those theaters? Or that kind that was bitten by a bear?” Fafnir sighed and said, “Boss, although these recent years, one has to sell pity to obtain the admiration of the artist, decency is still necessary for one that lives a drifter’s life! Look at his pathetic look, walking next to him would drag down my style!”

Sui Xiong laughed hysterically. He allowed Fafnir to bring Herman, who was in a hurry, for a quick visit to his favorite “Ceremony Ball”, the entertainment and leisure center that was operated by the church of the god of joy. They took care of his hair and moustache, and had a lady that was good at beauty to wash him up and do a full body massage.

Then, they went to the store house and found a set of glamorous equipment, which was extremely dazzling, that might not be powerful, but was sturdy enough. Finally, they brought along a flying carpet that was used for image purposes, and considered themselves then fully prepared to depart.

Going through the transportation door, the two of them got to the capital of Holy Angel Kingdom. Fafnir, who was in a hurry to get the things done and head back to nap, so that he saved enough energy to visit the brothel for “war” that night, directly revealed his original form. He grabbed Herman and threw him on his back. He told him “Sit still” and he soared up into the sky with his signature “malicious” creepy smile, whiffed past just like a jet fighter plane, and left continuous pops in the sky. There were many people who were frightened that peed in their pants, and many animals which were so scared, that they pooped all over the place!

His flying speed, where he gave all his strength, was terrifying, as it flew across the sky like a wind. Within two hours, he flew across half of the Holy Angel Kingdom and arrived at Armster City.

In the sky, Fafnir stretched out his winds and stopped on a piece of cloud. He turned around and asked Herman, who was dizzy from the strong wind, “What are you preparing to do?”

Herman had yet to recover from “plane sick”, and he asked confusedly, “What, ‘how’?”

“We are here. How do you plan to take revenge?” Fafnir asked, “Who to kill? How to kill? Braise in soy sauce or grill? How would you like it to be cooked? Let me make this clear, I’d rather eat grass than human meat. Human meat is disgusting!”

Herman then regained conscious. He thought and told him his plan.

“We first go to the casino, then to the viscount residency, lastly to the estate to kill your uncle that is taking remedial rest… Mm, this is a simple but robust plan, I like it!” Fafnir laughed and turned into a human form. He grabbed Herman and the two of them landed straight on the ground from the cloud in the sky.

After a while, they had arrived before the casino where Herman was framed. Fafnir looked around and snapped his fingers. Herman’s hair that was originally messy due to the wind, suddenly became neat, and he looked just like a theater celebrity that was participating in some award ceremony.

“Come on, let’s go to crush the place!”

Sui Xiong really knew how to get the right person for the right job. Fafnir was a professional expert in “crushing place”. He only used a few minutes to turn the entire casino into a ruin, but no one was hurt. Seeing such professional yet glamorous skill to destroy buildings, Herman was impressed and thought to himself that his comrade was from a building background.

“The boss back then died?” After not being able to find the boss, Herman got unexpected news from the person in charge of the casino. “How did he die?”

“Indulgence in sensual pleasures, died on a woman’s stomach.” The steward answered nervously, while his legs shook and the crotch on his pants got wet and gave out a suspicious stink.

“Total rubbish!” Fafnir said in disdain, “A man that died on a woman’s stomach, such humiliation!”

Herman had no intention to comment if the boss of the casino was a humiliation, but sighed and enquired about the situation of the few servants.

The few servants were put in important positions after they assisted in framing Herman. Besides that one that died due to illness, the rest were considered the higher ups in the territory. They were stationed in a few places and put in charge of particular tasks.

After a while, they departed again after clarifying the situation. They didn’t spend much time to finally find those few people.

In the territory of a viscount, they did have quite a number of experts. When there was an incident, these experts would naturally protect the viscount. But the “enemy” had no intention to cause any trouble to the viscount, so their tension was unnecessary.

The sky grew dark, and Fafnir brought Herman, who took revenge and felt lost, back to Void Mask Theme Park.

“How do you feel?” Sui Xiong asked.

Herman was silent for a while, then he smiled in satisfaction.

Along with the smile, the sword man that had half his legs stepped into the legendary realm, then suddenly gave out a magical aura. He finally broke through the last obstacle.
