Chapter 132 Collect

In the study in Edgar's residence, Fang Xingjian sat there flipping through a sword arts manual.

No matter what, Edgar was still considered an aristocratic clan, and while it was not a clan that was highly regarded, they had collected various secret manuals for Nurturing and Training martial arts.

Since Fang Xingjian was looking to collect sword arts, he started browsing through them.

Just as he was looking through the secret manual, the door to the study opened and Edgar's clan head walked in. When he saw Fang Xingjian at the desk, he face turned pale and he got a huge shock. Fang Xingjian's sword arts, which was truly unfathomable, had left too deep an impression in his heart. The wounds which he had received from Fang Xingjian the other day had yet to heal either.

Fang Xingjian did not even lift his head, but stared at the secret manual, saying, ”I've done a check on you. It's true that you're unaware of many of the messed up stuff.”

It was true. Based on Fang Xingjian's investigations, while Edgar secretly backs up the Venomous Serpent Gang, it was primarily to ama.s.s wealth through them and make connections, as well as to gather some materials for cultivation.

And as for the dark and ruthless things done secretly by the Venomous Serpent Gang, they tended to take the approach of hoodwinking those above and deluding their subordinates. Edgar did not know anything.

In fact, as an aristocrat, why would Edgar hanker after the small money from forcing people into begging and girls into prost.i.tution? Those were merely the selfish actions made by Venomous Serpent Gang's echelon in order to satisfy their own wallets.

Hearing Fang Xingjian's words, Edgar let out a sigh of relief. However, he was still unwilling to concede verbal defeat as he said, ”Fang Xingjian, you broke into Kirst City, killing without a care. Even if you're a Knight, we can't let this go. I've already reported this to the a.s.sociation and to the academy. You can just wait to be put through investigation.”

This was the advantage a Knight has. If Fang Xingjian had not the status of a Knight, he would have probably been arrested, encircled and attacked by countless people, or surrounded by the men from the City Guards Inst.i.tution.

But him being a Knight made everything different. Other than the Royal Knight a.s.sociation, there was no one else in the Empire who could pry into his conduct and responsibility.

Moreover, those he had killed were merely a bunch of hoodlums. It may cause a huge ruckus if this were to happen on Earth, but in the Miracle World, they were but numbers in the eyes of those aristocrats and Knights.

Hearing Edgar's words, Fang Xingjian shook his head, ”While you did not take the initiative to commit acts of evil, you were indulgent to allow the gang to ama.s.s wealth. The reason the Venomous Serpent Gang were able to commit so many acts of evil eventually goes down to you, but I won't kill you. These few days, you can just help me get some stuff done.”

Edgar's face was flushed red from anger. He was just about to retaliate when he recalled the other party's abilities, recalled his rumored relations.h.i.+p with the Governor Devitt. The fury on his face gradually turned into bitterness.

High level of sword arts and have strong backing. He could not afford to offend someone like this.

”What is it that you want?”

”Nothing much.” Fang Xingjian closed the secret manual he was holding as another Nurturing sword technique appeared on his Stats Window. ”I'll be returning to the academy in five days time. In this five days, you'll need to do your best to gather sword arts manuals and materials for casting

.

”The sword arts manuals must not be repet.i.tive. As for the casting materials, they must be in great varieties. Just get a little of each will do.”

When Edgar heard this request, he found it a little weird, ”What kind of sword arts manual are you looking for?”

”It doesn't matter, as long as they are sword arts manual.” As he spoke, Fang Xingjian's silhouette had turned into faded shadows, and eventually disappeared.

”I'll come by everyday at this time. Edgar, don't let me down.”
