33 Risen#re - Chapter 325

Stanley’s question took everyone by surprise, by now the events of the fiasco at the black-market auction were known even by the general public.

In the iterations of the story, many people couldn’t help but laugh at how the entire noble community had been made into fools by the auction house.

One of the key characters in the story was none other than Lirian, who was spoken of as the slave who showed no respect to even the nobles.

One of the key moments of the story was when the slave called the heir of House Kurt, Stanley, ‘Dumbass of all Dumbasses,’ while that part of the story was spread in hushed tones, it was a well-known part of the story.

As the members of House Kurt looked at Lirian closely, they became confused, because aside from being small in size, nothing else matched the descriptions.

‘It’s time for you to start acting,’ Lirian sent a message to Izlandi, along with a few things that she would need to do.

Stanley stared at Lirian in silence as he waited for confirmation of his guess.

“Have you gone blind?” Izlandi remarked in a haughty tone, as she tried to hide her embarrassment from what Lirian said earlier.

“The slave has black hair, and also his legs are supposed to be broken, forget about blindness, I wonder if you’ve gone stupid as well, given how much time you spend frolicking in your room, I suppose it does make sense that you’ve burned all your brain cells,” she said in a mirthless tone.

Her words echoed the thoughts of everyone present, however, none of them would have dared to insult Stanley in such a manner, yet they could understand why she was being so blunt.

The only reason that the story, about Izlandi taking lessons from his escorts, spread was undoubtedly because of Stanley, who couldn’t stop himself from sharing the story about Izlandi’s special lessons.

Stanley frowned at Izlandi, “If I recall correctly, your little servant bought the slave for you,” he said with a hint of displeasure.

Izlandi was about to answer when Lirian cut in, “I am the ‘slave’,” he said with emphasis on the last word, which showed his displeasure at being called a slave.

“I’m impressed that you could recognise me, ‘Prince of Dumbasses’,” Lirian mocked him, “Tell me what gave me away?” he asked with a light laugh.

Stanley’s eyes burned with anger as Lirian insulted him, “The way you speak,” Stanley spat out through gritted teeth, “That arrogance in your voice, it’s impossible for anyone else to copy,”

“When you were just a lowly filthy slave you were incapable of showing respect to your superiors, and even now when you’re about to die, you are still so full of arrogance,” Stanley spat while baring his teeth at Lirian vicious.

Lirian chuckled coldly, “You think that you’re my superior?” Lirian asked his voice was perfectly calm, yet it sent waves through the hearts of the members of house Kurt.

“I am arrogant,” Lirian said with his perfectly calm voice, “But I have every right to be, I mean look around, I’m just a novice cultivator in the fourth stage, yet your entire house has come together to face me,”

“Not even your leaders have what it takes to land a blow on me, if I haven’t earned the right to be arrogant than tell me who in the world has the right?” Lirian voice was radiating power, and pride that could compare to none.

His declaration sent shock waves through everyone present, but they quickly shook their heads, there was no way that they would believe his words.

“Humph,” Stanley snorted, “You sure do know how to boast,” he scoffed in anger, but the angriest people in the room were none other than the leaders of the house.

Lirian’s statement was a brazen insult to their many years spent cultivating, there was no way that they would ever believe that a novice would be able to match their power, no not just a novice, even an adapt would be unable to match their power, let alone their combined powers.

“It’s not boasting if it’s the truth,” Lirian laughed coldly, “But then a bunch of ignorant country bumpkins such as yourselves wouldn’t understand the shallowest depths of my power,” Lirian insulted the entire house with his simple statement.

The people of house Kurt went red with fury at Lirian’s brazen insult, they were nobles, after all, not even the ‘Heavenly Empress’ herself would call a minor noble a country bumkin let alone a noble.

To do say so, would be no different from the ‘Heavenly Empress’ saying that the people she anointed noble titles were illiterate fools.

It was the same as insulting herself, and for Lirian to say such words it meant that not only was Lirian insulting house Kurt he was insulting the ‘Heavenly Empress’ who bestowed their family with its title.

Without waiting for a reply, he turned to Izlandi, “I suppose that technically I’m supposed to be your slave,” Lirian said in an amused tone, as he acted like it was his first-time meeting Izlandi.

“Maybe I shouldn’t have left your brothel in such a rush,” Lirian said licking his lips in a lascivious manner, “Who knows maybe I would have had a lot of fun with you by now,” Lirian said and released a disgusting laugh.

Izlandi took a step backwards, and her body started to tremble, at first she was planning to act along, but then she felt Lirian’s desires scanning every inch of her body, and she wasn’t sure if he was just acting or if he was being serious.

“Why don’t you show me the result of all those lessons,” Lirian teased, “If you do a good job, I might go ahead and kill that Tanicks Kant for you,” Lirian said in a teasing tone.

“I’ve heard that you don’t want to become his concubine, so why don’t you come to me, I can make all your problems go away, I can kill your entire family if you like and no one would ever know that you survived, you’d be free,” Lirian said in his most enticing voice doing his best to keep his charm from working since he didn’t want her to accept.

However unexpectedly Izlandi started to raise her hand, Lirian noticed the movement and panicked slightly, ‘What the hell are you doing!?’ he roared into her mind.

Izlandi’s eyes snapped back to reality as Lirian’s voice boomed in her head, she pulled her hand down and looked at Lirian in surprise, for a second there she felt like she lost all her reasoning and only wanted to follow him.

As her senses snapped back to reality, she pulled her hand back and took several steps back, with a trace of lingering fear in her eyes that was apparent to everyone watching.

The fear wasn’t completely feigned, Izlandi couldn’t understand why she lost control like that, but at the same time she also sighed in relief.

Lirian’s shout in her mind proved, that everything, including that beastly desire she felt from him was all a part of the act.

When Izlandi pulled away Lirian secretly sighed in relief, only 20% of his charm was in effect, but it had definitely become stronger with his life ascension, and it almost ruined his plans.

“Too bad,” Lirian continued the act and laughed as Izlandi backed away from him.

He turned back to Rupid Kurt who was seething with anger, “It would have been fun to see the look on Tanicks Kant’s face when he learnt that someone else already played with his toy,” Lirian laughed.

“Well then let’s get back to it,” Lirian said and reinforced his aura as he got ready to continue the battle.

“You still haven’t answered me, who hired you to attack my House?” Rupid spat angrily.

Lirian sighed, “Tell you what if you piss ants can beat me, I’ll answer any question that you have for me,” Lirian declared.

“But then with how weak you are that is never going to happen,” Lirian mocked them and waited for their assault to begin.
