Chapter 43 Oaken's Assassination
"what?"

An Qi took it and started reading.

"The Book of Nobleman.

In the name of the Holy Grand Duke of Lennon, I grant the title of Lord Raven..."

An Qi's eyes widened. "You...you have been canonized as a lord?"

"uh-huh."

Raven's nose turned up.

"From now on, call me Your Excellency."

Anqi's mouth opened wider and wider.

"Great!" She grabbed Raven's arm.

"Girl, are you polite enough to call me Your Excellency?" Raven shook his head.

puff!

An Qi smiled and bowed deeply: "Greetings, Your Excellency."

"Well, the little girl is pretty. Come home with me and live happily ever after." Raven waved his hand.

"You're starting to look a bit like those stinking nobles!"

"Be bold!"

The two suddenly burst into laughter.

"Oh, look at this."

Raven took out the map and pointed to a place on it.

"This is my fiefdom, called Lentini."

"What a beautiful name! I want to go and see it right away." An Qi said with anticipation.

"Wait until later."

The next day, Master Goethe announced in public the news that Raven was promoted to lord.

The students were shocked by the sudden change.

That loser Raven actually became a lord?
Is there still justice in the world? Many people beat their chests and stamped their feet.

Especially the civilian students were more jealous.

They could accept Rody's knighthood, but Raven couldn't, because they were originally at the same level.

Why did he jump out? How could he?

There are also smart people who found the problem -

It is impossible that the Duke's Mansion is unaware of Raven's situation, so why do they do this?
Did they know something?
Or maybe Riven isn't as useless as they think?

Some people couldn't sit still and started to inquire.

In Oaken's room, roaring and smashing sounds continued for half the morning.

Outside the house, everyone, including Butler Ross, was terrified, fearing that they would get into trouble.

"Don't call me, don't call me," Ross said to himself, "I will be rewarded for my kindness."

"Butler! Come here!" At this moment, a roar sounded.

"Fuck!" Ross shuddered.

"Young...Young Master." Seeing Oaken, Ross bowed his head deeply.

Oaken didn't say anything, but stared down at him with his red eyes, panting.

"Is this how you assist me?"

Finally, a cold voice sounded.

Ross's heart trembled: "Master, I understand."

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Oaken slapped him hard several times.

The housekeeper's face suddenly swelled up.

"Why didn't you get the news in advance about Adam canonizing Raven?

If you get even a whiff of it, I can intervene in advance and make that bastard Raven's plans go to waste."

"Subordinate..."

"I asked you to befriend the Duke's Mansion, but did you eat shit? Or did you use the money to find a woman?"

"I dare not!"

Ross panicked.

"I guess they acted suddenly, so we were caught off guard."

"Fuck you!"

Oaken slapped him hard several times.

"Trash is trash! Don't make excuses!"

Ross swallowed his anger and dared not speak.

Oaken's chest rose and fell sharply, and he said in a cold voice:

"Go to the Gray Region immediately and find me a killer."

"I wonder what you want to do?"

"I want Raven dead."

Ross was shocked: "Master, no!
Raven is a student of the White Tower and has just been knighted. Killing him will cause big trouble."

"damn thing!"

Oaken turned around suddenly and said through gritted teeth.

"You just go when I tell you to go, have you forgotten who raised you?"

Ross lowered his head in humiliation.

"I... understand." Looking at Ross's leaving back, Oaken chuckled:

"Being discovered? Haha, you did this just to vent your anger on me, what does it have to do with me?"

"Monroe, why do you think the Duke's Mansion would give Raven the title?" Roy said drunkenly.

His expression was full of desolation.

He and Raven entered school together, both were commoners, but now they are in completely different places.

It's impossible to say that I don't care.

"Of course they saw the potential in my brothers. Do you think they are stupid?"

"But his mental strength is so limited, what future can he have?"

“Bah, don’t judge Raven with your thoughts.

I tell you, the most correct thing the Duke's Mansion did was to win over Raven in advance... in advance." Monroe said drunkenly.

"But I won't give up." Roy said to himself.

In the evening, Raven dragged his tired body back home.

Feyre's experiment was exceptionally long today. He was tortured to death on the stage. He was lucky to be able to come back.

When I opened the door, a scream full of fear suddenly came from the room.

"Brother!" Raven's face changed drastically.

He rushed into the house and saw a scene that made him grit his teeth.

John's face was covered in blood, his head drooping limply, and a man was holding him by the back of his collar, trying to keep him from falling to the ground.

His right arm was bent backwards at a strange angle, almost touching the back of his head.

It's completely broken at first glance.

Seeing Raven coming in, the man laughed like a venomous snake: "The waste is back? I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Fuck your mother, let him go!" Raven's eyes turned red instantly.

The man narrowed his eyes, suddenly grabbed John's fingers and twisted them!
Click!

John screamed in pain as his fingers were twisted off.

"elder brother!"

Riven was furious and was about to cast a spell.

But he forgot that a Burner should not be so close to the enemy.

Sure enough, the man's face changed drastically. He shook off John, flashed in front of Raven, and kicked him in the chest.

Click!

Raven's bones were broken countless times, and he flew backwards and fell in the yard.

"Hehe, you are really a loser. You can't even protect yourself and yet you still want to take care of others."

The man sneered and approached Raven.

"You cast a spell?"

"Ahem, did Oaken send you here?" Raven asked back.

Only that guy has a motive.

"If you want to trick me, forget it.

You have offended the wrong person, so today is the day you die."

"Since I'm dead, what is there that you dare not say?" Raven pretended to be weak, but secretly gathered burning energy in his hands.

The man was very strong, at least at the Fame level, and there was no chance of winning in a head-on battle with him.

Now it depends on whether I can launch a sneak attack.

"Don't dream about it. Gray Domain never reveals the name of the employer. I know you are casting a spell secretly, but it's too late."

The man was getting closer and closer, not giving Raven any time.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, if you die, the two inside won't live long either, hehe."

Raven's heart continued to sink, but there was really nothing he could do.

The other party didn't give him any chance at all.

At this moment, an arm suddenly appeared from behind the man and grabbed his neck.

"Brother, run!"

It was John, his voice hoarse.

"You little bastard, you're tired of living."

The man was furious and grabbed John's arm, trying to throw him out.

But it failed.

John had been doing farm work since he was a child. He was very strong and acted like a madman, but he still failed.

The man got angry and grabbed one of John's fingers and broke it hard!
Click!

The finger was pressed against the back of the hand and was completely useless.

Ah!
John screamed, but his arms tightened even more.

"Brother, run!"

Raven didn't move.

He looked at the man coldly, his mental power activated wildly, and two blue crosses appeared in his pupils.

He wants him dead!

The man exerted more force and broke another finger of John, but John refused to let go.

call!
At this moment, a dazzling light illuminated his face!
