56 Chapter 56: The Thunder Clan (2/2)
The crowd had become frenzied when they heard the old man's words. The more they discussed about it, the more it seemed to be true! In no time, everyone was informed of the speculated identity of the young man.
”Make way for the Young Master!” The one beside the golden-haired youth said.
Dylan and his group could only move to the side and make way like what the others did while the guards went forward and received the large group.
”Oh, if it isn't Young Master Victor! How was your expedition on the Thunderstorm Peak?” The two guards behaved like dogs in front of their master.
”It went well. I was able to get what I wanted.” Victorreplied in a calm manner.
”As expected of the Young Master Victor, he truly is a peerless genius!” The brown-skinned guard praised.
”Of course, Young Master Victor is a dragon amongst men. A trivial Thunderstorm Peak is not something that will hinder his path to greatness!” The wavy haired guard kept praising Victor while trying to curry his favor.
”It's true, he truly is Victor Thunder!”
”No wonder, he's so handsome!”
”Get out of the way I must meet him face to face!”
”I want to meet him as well!”
The crown became even more frenzied because there speculation was true! They started pushing forward but was prevented by the men within Victor's group.
'Hahaha, you country bumpkin, you're dead neat now! With Young Master Victor helping us, you'll die a horrible death! Hahaha!” Both guards thought while they sideglanced to Dylan's direction and smiled.
”Stop coaxing me. I don't like to be praised by hopeless trashes like you.” Victor spoke coldly to the two.
”Huh? Young Master Victor, have we offended you?” The brown skinned guard trembled and tried to remember what they could have done to offend such a man.
”There's no need for you to say anything. I heard and saw everything that happened here earlier. So, there's no point in explaining to trashes like you who takes advantage of people for their own selfish gains.” Victor coldly stated.
He was able to know everything that happened despite being far from the scene earlier because of the vastly superior senses granted by being a cultivator at the peak of the Origin Realm.
”Young Master, we can explain. Please give us a chance!” The two of begged for mercy as they kowtowed to Thunder.
”Truly hopless. Both of you deserve to die!” A yellow flash of lightning hit the ground and strikes the two guards.
Not being able to emit even a sound, the two guards turned into ash. The crowd quivered at the sight of this ruthlessness. Victor killed the two guards who were at the 15th level of Awakened Spirit Realm in an instant without even moving a single finger!
”Too powerful!” The crowd exclaimed the obvious in their shock.
Dylan remained calm despite of this. He knew that these were common occurences that happened in the cultivation world. He was just relieved that Victor was not one of those silk pants type of Young Master because if he were then there would be a totally different result from what happened here today.
”Tell the chief of the guards to replace them with guards who are more committed and trustworthy. For now, I'll have you two guard the guard the gate. The rest go back to Thundercloud Guards HQ, I will be going to the clan to inform father of my arrival. Understood?” Victor takes one person to inform the chief of guards, he pointed randomly at two men to guard the gate temporarily, and instructed every one to go to the headquarters of the Thundercloud Guards.
Victor glanced at Dylan and said before entering the city, ”You're quite intelligent but it's too bad your strength is lacking. How about serving under me? I could tell that you have the potential to be a strategist with your critical way of thinking and such talent would be wasted if not used. Do you agree?”
The crowd was shocked when Victor offered Dylan a job to serve him but they thought it was only natural since he showed great mental fortitude and ability despite being new to the Thunder Cloud City!
It is common knowledge that a good army must be strong and large in manpower but a great army relies on the strategy of a great tactician.
”I'm sorry, Young Master Victor, but I prefer my freedom and do not like to serve under anyone so I would have to decline.” Dylan replied courteously with a calm smile.
”Audacious! You don't know the value of Young Master's good will!” A man beside Victor furiously shouted.
”It's alright. It was just a casual question. It's his choice to do so and I don't want to impose my wants to him. I'm sorry but I don't know your name yet.” Victor asked.
”My name is Dylan Ford.” Dylan introduced himself with a slight bow.
”Good name. My name is Victor Thunder. Something tells me we will be meeting again someday. I look forward to it. Maybe you will change your mind by then.” Victor turned around and left.
”I wonder.” Dylan smiled as he looked at the back of the leaving Victor.
