394 The Lurker (1/2)

Since that was the case, he should act as a proper host and receive them in kind by knocking them off their high pedestal and angering them to death.

Leon continued to antagonize the person by rubbing his chin thoughtfully and said, ”Their father, eh? I heard of late bloomers, but you, you are something else, aren't you? When did you have your firstborn? In your 70's? Damn, that's pretty late, huh? Did you also rob the cradle while you were at it?”

Lord Goldenfang almost puked out blood from anger as Leon's words were like a vicious knife that slicing through his heart, hitting him where it hurts.

”Oh, shit. Don't tell me, it was actually true?” Leon asked with a sarcastically, shocked look.

Boom!

It was like an explosion had erupted inside Lord Goldenfang's head as he was driven mad. As someone who enjoyed great prestige and used to looking down on others, he was not an enduring man who could tolerate being insulted by others of lower standing than him.

After receiving Leon's repeated taunts and provocation, Lord Goldenfang could no longer keep his dignified bearing and exploded with rage.

”Bastard! I'm going to kill you!” Lord Goldenfang roared and raised his hand, readying to slap Leon to death with a single blow. He could no longer tolerate his existence.

”Lord Goldenfang, you must not be rash! You can teach him a lesson, but you cannot kill him! If the chief finds out, a civil war will break out in our tribe!”

The two middle-aged warriors immediately held Lord Goldenfang back and persuaded him from acting rashly due to a moment of anger.

”Who are you to tell me what to do?! Back off at once!” Lord Goldenfang barked at his two subordinates, but they continued to hold onto him tightly.

”Lord Goldenfang, you cannot—”

”BACK OFF!”

Lord Goldenfang roared.

The two Mid-rank Great Warriors immediately realized that their Lord Goldenfang had calmed down slightly. If their Lord Goldenfang had truly lost his rationale due to anger, there was no way they would have been able to stop an Extremity-rank Great Warrior even if they joined hands together.

”Yes, Lord Goldenfang. Forgive us for our impudence.” The two Mid-rank Great Warriors released their hold and retreated.

”Hmph!”

Lord Goldenfang dropped his arm quickly with frustration and glared at Leon venomously before he said, ”You darn cheeky brat! It seems you have already decided to go against us, huh? Are you not afraid I will kill you?!”

”Y-Y-You… Arghhh!”

Lord Goldenfang pointed his trembling fingers at Leon with a flushed face and shook with so much anger, he ended up puking out an arrow of blood.

In the end, he was still an old man advanced in his years. He could not take so much stimulation and endure having his heart rate beating quickly.

This was why the elderly warriors like him did not participate in the battle against the Bone Calamity. Their hearts could not withstand the stress of high-pace battles.

”My Lord!”

The two Mid-rank Great Warriors rushed forward and caught Lord Goldenfang, who stumbled back weakly.

”Hold onto Lord Goldenfang for me. I must teach this brat a lesson! He is too arrogant and disrespectful to Lord Goldenfang!” Said one of the Great Warriors.

”Stop it. We cannot touch this person.” Lord Goldenfang sighed weakly and explained, ”Whether you touch or kill this person, it is all the same unless you are willing to make an enemy out of the entire tribe. Many people look at him favorably after he treated the wounded warriors. This includes people from our faction. He is famous right now. Just forget it and take me back now. This person cannot be used.”

Lord Goldenfang thought someone as young as Leonhardt would be naïve and ignorant of his true worth, thus making it easy for him to coerce the person into joining his faction.

However, he had miscalculated. Leonhardt was a headstrong person who does not take kindly to threats and disrespect against him.

He should have consulted his sons and not acted on his own. He had also overestimated his waning prestige and become senile from old age.

His failure was well justified.

”Yes, Lord Goldenfang.”

The Great Warrior retreated to the other side of Lord Goldenfang and helped carried him away without objection.

As Leon stood on the spot with his arms crossed and watched the two middle-aged warriors carry Lord Goldenfang away in defeat, he hollered, ”Pussy!”
