Barging into a Magic World after Returning from Xianxia - Chapter 23

As soon as August entered the room, the other elders immediately squeezed in after him.

Fortunately, even though Christina had been neglected, the room was not small. It did not seem crowded with more than a dozen people standing inside.

Moreover, there was even a large crowd surrounding the Nolan family’s younger generation outside the door.

They had naturally heard that Christina had teamed up with a fourth-tier mage and contradicted the Nolan family’s elders.

For this, the family head had personally invited the grand ancestor to come out.

He had asked the grand ancestor to personally kill this fourth-tier mage.

They naturally could not see the battle between high-level powerhouses. Even the aftermath of a casual spell cast by such an existence was enough to destroy them.

Even if there were still a few elders protecting them on the spot, they would probably be blown a few hundred meters away once the battle started.

When they came here, what they wanted to see was actually Christina’s fate.

As the eldest daughter of the family and the family treasure in everyone’s eyes when they were young, she had been a star at the beginning, someone that everyone in the family had practically worshipped at the beginning.

Now, things had changed since then.

What awaited Christina at the end of it all was pain and destruction.

Regarding this situation, some of them sighed, while others continued to mock her behind her back.

In short, everyone was waiting for the next scene to unfold in the house.

Speaking of the house…

At this moment, all the Nolan family’s higher-ups had been gathered inside.

As soon as he entered the house, August’s cold gaze swept across Austin who was calmly drinking tea.

Seeing that Austin had sensed his arrival, not only was he not afraid, but he even dared to calmly continue drinking his tea.

He even felt like laughing.

In his eyes, Austin was only a fourth-tier mage and really thought that he was invincible in the world.

Before coming here, he had specially asked Lance about it. After confirming that Lance had asked all the major families within dozens of kilometers around Seth Kingdom’s Human Imperial City, it was clear that no one knew the young man’s identity or the master that he had trained with.

When he thought of this, the contempt in his eyes became even more intense.

The young man in front of him seemed to be only in his twenties. He was so young yet so powerful. Naturally, it was no wonder that he was arrogant.

Unfortunately, August had encountered him today. Today, he was destined to die right there!

August’s gaze swept over Austin. He was at the peak of a fourth-tier mage. No matter what, he could still suppress Austin. As for the girl in the other room, she was not even worth mentioning.

Hence, he was not in a hurry to make a move.

Instead, he said coldly, “Kid, considering that you have already become a fourth-tier mage at such a young age, you can be considered a small fry with great strength. If we met somewhere else at this time, perhaps I would be in a good mood and take you in as my godson. But since you’ve already offended my Nolan family today, you’ll definitely not be able to step out of this house. Kid, tell me your name so that I can let you die in one piece.”

The voice sounded above his head.

Austin continued to enjoy his tea as if he hadn’t heard anything.

When he was enjoying his tea, he didn’t like to be disturbed. He was also in a good mood so he just ignored August’s pointed words at him.

Because in his eyes, August was actually no different from the group of ordinary people from before.

However, when Christina saw this scene, it was the complete opposite.

When she saw August coming, she was extremely frightened. Although she did not know Austin’s exact strength, when she saw how powerful her grand ancestor was, she naturally understood where August’s confidence came from.

As for Austin, he was so frightened that he could not speak. He could only hold his teacup to ease the panic in his heart.

At this moment, Chris was so panicked that her heart was beating wildly.

Looking at Austin who did not say a word, it was obvious that he was disgracing August. August’s brows immediately furrowed and he did not hold back anymore. He summoned his magic power and struck down with his palm at lightning speed.

“Don’t!”

An anxious cry suddenly sounded. A delicate figure had already recklessly stood in front of Austin, blocking the attack.

Christina still moved despite the dangers. Even if she died, she did not want to see her teacher who had given her everything, die in front of her first.

Even though she had just acquired the ability to cultivate magic, she had just begun to cultivate her alchemic skills. No matter how down and out of it she previously was, she could still become the respected eldest daughter that her family had originally desired her to be.

She was still prepared to lose all of this and even her life as she resolutely stood in front of Austin and blocked him from harm!

August did not care about the sudden appearance of the figure in front of him. He naturally knew that the girl in front of him was Lance’s useless eldest daughter who was preparing to rebel against them. It did not matter if he killed her sooner or later!

Austin, who had noticed this scene, moved his eyes and was about to make his move.

However, at this lightning-like moment, August’s palm that was about to land on Christina suddenly stopped!

Following that, a soft “Eh?” suddenly sounded from August’s mouth.

When the palm stopped, all the elders in the room, including Lance, were stunned.

Just as he was about to kill the two of them with a single palm, their grand ancestor’s hand suddenly stopped?

What was going on?

It couldn’t be that he had suddenly become kind-hearted and went easy on Christina because she was the Nolan family’s eldest daughter and had the bloodline of the Nolan family, right?

It shouldn’t be. The grand ancestor was most loyal to the Nolan family. Not only did he constantly think about how to make the family stronger, but he also never showed mercy.

He always hated family traitors the most. He would never show mercy to them, even if it was the family head’s own daughter.

However, just when everyone present couldn’t help but discuss in their hearts why the grand ancestor suddenly decided to act this way, August looked at Christina’s body as a soft “Eh,” escaped his mouth.
