56 Chapter 56: The Thunder Clan (1/2)

The brown-skinned guard was trembling and was shaking nonstop when he saw how Dylanwas confidently offering the contract in front of the large crowd. He did not expect that these bumpkin would be so hard to deal with.

Although it may seem that Dylan's offer was enticing and easy to win in the surface, it truly is not because in truth, it was a trap that Dylan set to prove that the guards were lying all this time.

”You! This must be some kind of scam I say! How can we believe you!” The wavy haired guard protested.

”Well, I just publicized the content of the Contract so there's no reason for me to lie. For you to have some peace of mind, I'll give the contract for you two to read. Here.” Dylan approached the two guards and presented the contract itself.

The two guards read the contract meticulously and examined errors that they could use against Dylan but they couldn't find one because every word of the text was all said by Dylan to the crowd. They felt that they were defeated being unable to retort nor retaliate to this young man because they were the ones in the wrong. They never expected to find a difficult to handle bumpkin in the line of migrants.

”I... lied. This is not the letter of entry for the prior group but it was from another group who came by earlier.” The brown-skinned guard conceded as he admitted the truth to Dylan . The other guard could only concede as well and lower his head. There was no way they could risk their lives for the sake of money.

”So you finally admit it. I knew from the very first reason you gave out that you con migrants. Why? It's simple although it is relatively true that to enter a city a person or a group must have a letter of entry to present, but this is only applicable for those people specifically businessmen or other high ranked individuals because it will directly state that their purpose for coming here is for transaction. For us, ordinary cultivators, the reasonable mode of entry is paying an entrance fee about 10 gold per person or so.”

”Your second reason was also faulty because how can you expect migrants to travel by foot when every city is tens of thousands of kilometers apart? It is only practical for them to use mounts. The next is that we must present an emblem to be able to enter the city with our mounts? I believe that although it is true, it is only applicable to mounts which have the ability of flight because there are some powerful individuals who imposes restrictions on the use of flight due to it being the most common way of establishing strength which is disrespectful to the ruler of a city. Every cultivator needs a mount for their travels and adventures that is why it is only natural to have a spirit beast pet.”

”The third reason was about the speculation that we might do an attack or acts of the same nature? How can we, Spirit Gathering Realm practitioners fight against the the Thundercloud Guards with our meager strength? Much less our mounts who are even weaker than us. I suspect that we would be easily wiped out by the strength of the city guards. The truth of the matter is that you only accused us of doing so due to me and my companions appearance which are from the countrysides. This way extortion and deception could be easily done by taking advantage of the stereotypical fact that we are ignorant. Am I right?”

Dylan bombarded them with his opinion which he based on logical facts that stemmed from his knowledge about the regulations of the territory of a cultivator in various types of novels. He smiled at the guards as he received applause​ from thecrowds.

The crowd was shocked when they heardthe confession of the brown skinned guard and was amazed by Dylan's eloquence. They thought that Dylan was the dumb one as to offer 90,000 gold coins worth of spirit beast to this man just to admit the obvious truth to them but it turns out that the truththat they thought was genuine was nothing but a farce.

”You guys are liars!”

”Yeah!”

”So you two are nothing but Con Artists!'

”When I reach the town, I'll file a complaint against the both of you!”

”Booo!”

”Rotten Knights!”

The two guard knights were being booed by the crowd after the crowd learned of the truth. They could only lower their heads as they received the curses of the crowd.

It was understandable how the crowds felt because if it wasn't for Dylan then most of them would be taken advantage of because they were ignorant and has no knowledge about the city rules. That is why they are somewhat thankful for Dylan's stand against these two opportunistic guards who takes advantage of the lack of knowledge migrants have to gain money from them.

”Make way the Young Master has arrived!” A voice called out from the back.

Suddenly, people from the back started to make way for a large group and made its way to the front of the gates.

The large group comprised of 50 members was lead by a golden haired 21-year old young man whose height was 1.8 meters tall which was about the same as Dylan. He had white and smooth skin that highlighted his bright yellow eyes and long eyelashes. His perfect face displayed coherence with his eyes and brows down to his pinkish lips which would tempt any girl to kiss it. This young man was handsome enough to be called an immortal prince.

”So perfect and so dreamy.” A teenage girl screamed in idolization.

”Who is he? Oh my, he's so handsome!” A woman couldn't help but speak while blushing.

”He's like a prince that came from the immortal realm!” Another young lady commented as her eyes sparkled towards that young man. A lot of women agreed to her remark about this handsome young man.

He wore a robe that had the insignia of the Thunder Clouds City but was slightly different than the noble emblem of the city because the insignia had torrents of thunders that came from the cloud while the emblem only had a few thunders.

”That crest! It's the insignia of the Grand Clan, Thunder Clan!” A man called out.

”Ah! Now that you mentioned it, I heard the Thunder Clan hada peerless genius who reached the peak of the Origin Realm at the age of 20 called Victor Thunder! Could this man be him?” An old man spoke as he recollected an information from his head.

”What? He's from the Thunder Clan?”

”The clan which founded and ruled Thunder Cloud City?!”

”A peerless genius?”

”Reaching the peak of the Origin Realm at 20?”
