Chapter 94: Chapter 92: Family Dispute, Becoming Doubly Related

After leaving Ice Wolf Castle, Roy didn’t immediately head for Gel County. Instead, he feigned a journey toward Redwood City for a while.

Only after Ice Wolf Castle had completely vanished from sight did he change direction and hurry toward Gel County.

Although Gel County bordered the Ice Wolf Domain, the Giant Monster Domain and the Ice Wolf Domain were not very close to each other.

Traveling from the Ice Wolf Domain to the Giant Monster Domain required crossing nearly half of Gel County.

However, for Roy, who was already a Silver Great Knight, this was no problem at all.

At his current speed, he could reach the Giant Monster Domain in an hour at most.

To avoid drawing unnecessary attention, he didn’t take the main road. Instead, he traveled over mountains and through valleys, taking a direct route to the Giant Monster Domain.

While Roy was on his way to the Giant Monster Domain, a bit of a family dispute was unfolding inside Giant Monster Castle.

Kidd, reeking of alcohol, arrived outside Allen’s room.

He didn’t knock, nor did he call out for Allen. He circulated his Giant Monster Fighting Qi, raised his right foot, and kicked the door.

BANG!

The sturdy door shattered on impact, breaking into countless pieces.

Without any hesitation, Kidd, fueled by alcohol, stormed inside.

"I want to duel you!"

He spat the words out the instant he saw Allen.

Allen looked at Kidd with displeasure, suppressed the anger in his heart, and replied, "Go back. I won’t duel you."

"Besides, you’re no match for me. Don’t humiliate yourself!"

He was telling the truth. Kidd was indeed no match for him.

In terms of Level, he was only one Tier higher than Kidd.

But in terms of actual strength, ten Kidds would be no match for him.

Dueling him would have no other outcome for Kidd than utter humiliation.

However, to the drunken Kidd, Allen’s honest words were no different from a provocation.

The moment Allen finished speaking, Kidd drew the Cross Sword from his waist.

Just as he was about to wreath his Cross Sword in black Giant Monster Fighting Qi, Allen appeared before him like a phantom.

BANG!

Allen didn’t hold back, his right fist slamming viciously into Kidd’s chest.

Before Kidd could even react, he was sent flying backward out of the bedroom, slamming heavily against the hallway wall.

The intense pain radiating from his chest immediately sobered Kidd up considerably.

As he watched, Allen emerged from the bedroom unhurriedly and came to stand before him.

"I know you’re resentful that Father named me the heir, and you feel I stole the title that should have been yours."

"But no matter how resentful you are, you can only endure it for now, because your strength is far inferior to mine."

"I’ll let it slide this time. If there’s a next time, it won’t be as simple as just a punch."

"You know full well the consequences of attacking an heir."

With that said, Allen paid Kidd no further mind and returned to his bedroom without a backward glance.

Kidd’s face was contorted with rage, his eyes, burning with a murderous glint, fixed on Allen’s departing back.

Only when Allen’s figure disappeared from view did he retract his gaze, sheathe his sword, and turn to walk back to his own room.

Allen knew Kidd wouldn’t take his warning to heart, but he had no intention of wasting any more time on him.

He and Baron Giant Monster had been back at the castle for some time now.

Upon returning to the castle, they had first put the Clan Knights and the Castle Guard on a war footing. Then they began a series of preparations, such as conscripting soldiers, stockpiling Grain and Grass, and Forging weapons.

Although the Adams Clan had no intention of using this opportunity to invade other noble domains, they also didn’t want the Giant Monster Domain to fall into someone else’s hands.

While they were in the midst of these hectic preparations, they also received various pieces of news related to the Dark Night Knight, learning that Roy was his student.

Like everyone else, they were quite surprised to learn that Roy was the student of the Dark Night Knight.

Not only that, but after learning this news, Baron Giant Monster had specifically summoned Allen to his study to discuss the possibility of his younger daughter, Isabella, marrying Roy, which would further strengthen the bond between the Adams Clan and the Wesley Clan.

Allen had tactfully expressed his opposition to Baron Giant Monster’s proposal.

Although their interactions had been brief, he knew Roy would definitely not be interested in Isabella.

In terms of looks and charm, Isabella was far inferior to even Miria.

Roy didn’t even seem particularly interested in Miria, so it was even less likely he would be interested in Isabella.

It wasn’t surprising that Allen would think this way.

After all, Roy had indeed acted quite cold during his interactions with Miria.

However, there was one thing he had guessed wrong: Miria was actually quite to Roy’s taste.

The reason Roy had acted cold was mainly to avoid worsening Miria’s psychological trauma, so he had deliberately reduced his contact with her.

As for Miria’s attempt to uncover his secrets, Roy hadn’t actually taken it to heart.

If he had truly been bothered by it, Miria would have been dead by now.

Curiosity is something everyone has.

Although Miria’s curiosity was a bit intense, it wasn’t anything particularly strange.

If there was any problem, it was that her methods were a little clumsy.

Returning to his bedroom, Allen took a few deep breaths to calm himself.

Then, he picked up the documents on his desk and began to browse through them quickly.

Even before they had returned to the castle, Baron Giant Monster had already been treating him as the heir.

Not only had he been given final say over everything on the journey back...

...but after returning to the castle, Baron Giant Monster had also handed over all the major and minor affairs of the domain for him to manage.

Time ticked by.

Just as Allen was about to finish with the documents, an arrow without an arrowhead shot in through the window, flying straight toward him.

The Arrow was not slow.

But Allen’s reaction was faster.

Before the Arrow could hit him, he snatched it out of the air, rushed to the window, and looked in the direction it had come from.

’Why is he here?’

Allen’s brows furrowed the moment he saw who had shot the arrow.

The person who had shot the arrow at him was none other than Roy, who had just arrived outside Giant Monster Castle.

Although he didn’t know what Roy was planning, Allen didn’t hesitate for a moment, immediately leaping out the window.

Soon, he was standing before Roy.

"Why are you here?" Allen asked immediately.

"It’s not convenient to talk here. Let’s go somewhere else first," Roy replied calmly.

"Alright!"

Allen nodded.

The next second, they both activated their Fighting Qi, covering their entire bodies with it.

’He advanced to Peak Knight, too?’

Allen stared at Roy, a look of surprise on his face.

But soon, the surprised expression on his face vanished.

’It must be nice to have a Bronze Great Knight for a teacher!’

Allen lamented inwardly.

Before long, they arrived at a forest near the castle.

Roy didn’t waste any time and said directly, "I want to borrow the Inheritance Map for the Giant Monster Breathing Technique for a day. What do you want as compensation?"

Allen didn’t answer Roy right away, instead looking at him with a puzzled expression.

After a few seconds, he finally spoke, "We can talk about compensation later. First, tell me what you want with the Inheritance Map for the Giant Monster Breathing Technique."

"Nothing much. I’m just curious and want to take a look," Roy replied quickly.
