These Familiars Are Strange

Though he said it as if he was saying it to himself, it was loud enough that everyone was able to hear him.

And the moment that they heard him, shocked looks appeared on everyone's face.

That was because there wasn't a single person who didn't know this name.

Living in this country, there wasn't a single person who didn't know that name because it was a name that was taught in the history books.

This was a person that went even beyond the realm of a World Summoner.

This was one of the World Guardians.

There were only ten of these World Guardians in the entire world and they were the ones that had pioneered the path to the current human world. They were the ones that cleared the dungeons that appeared and gave humans the structure that created the current balance.@@novelbin@@

So it was only natural that each of them would possess power that would match their status as World Guardians.

This man known as the Zephyr Blade was someone who could control the wind as if he was controlling his own fingertips.

With that power, it was easy for him to destroy Governor Nangong's flames as he was only an A Ranker.

As for me, I certainly never expected this old man to be someone like this.

But that also made me even more confused…

"Why is this old man doing all this for me? Is it just because he wants to take me as a disciple? But I don't think that there's anything special about me that he would do all this…"

After a moment of silence, Mu Gong said with a sigh, "Ha, it seems like you were able to recognize me in the end even though I tried hiding it. Then since that's the case, I hope that you will back down today and give me some face. I promise that I will remember it in the future if you do this for me."

The latter half of his words filled with a domineering tone that made it seem like he was certain that Governor Nangong would back down.

But that wasn't strange since he had a status that justified him being this domineering.

There was no one that could fight him, so it wasn't as if there was anyone that could actually stop him.

However, it wasn't as if Governor Nangong wanted to give up on this matter that easily. Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire

His son was dead and now he was even being forced to let the one who killed his son go. This was not something that he was able to accept that easily, so he didn't want to let things end like this.

With gritted teeth, Governor Nangong said, "You won't be able to protect him forever. Even if I back down today, it's not as if you can always be there to protect him. Eventually, I will have my revenge."

Mu Gong wasn't offended when he heard this, rather there was a faint smile that appeared on his face.

With that smile on his face, he looked at Governor Nangong to say, "Who said that I would protect him forever? This isn't something that neither of us would want in the first place."

Governor Nangong was surprised to hear this before looking at Mu Gong with a strange look.

Seeing Governor Nangong looking at him like this, Mu Gong turned to look at me to say, "You'll finish this with your own hands, right?"

I was caught off guard by this.

There was a part of me that wanted to say to finish off Governor Nangong now, but there was a bigger part of me that…

"I'll take revenge with my own hands."

Mu Gong gave a nod of approval before saying, "There you have it. I trust that he'll become strong enough that you'll regret everything that happened today."

Governor Nangong's face turned ugly when he heard this.

In his entire life, he had never been insulted like this before.

But the problem was that Mu Gong was still here, so it wasn't as if there was anything that he could do.

Even if he wanted to kill Lin Fan's group, he wouldn't be able to do it since Mu Gong was still here.

So in the end, Governor Nangong had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "How long?"

Mu Gong didn't say anything as he turned to look at me again.

I didn't say anything either as a look of thought appeared on my face.

How long?

My first thought was a month since I had seen how strong I had become during this time. It had only been a few weeks and I was already at the point where I was able to fight B Rank Monsters.

If the Echo Bat grew a bit more and the Scavenger Rabbit gave me a few more things, then it would only be a matter of time before I was able to reach A Rank.

But that was too reckless.

Even if I had a feeling that this was possible, there were all kinds of things that could happen.

So it was better to say…

"Six months, if you give me six months, I'll take this revenge myself." I said in a serious voice.

Governor Nangong immediately narrowed his eyes to look at me, as if he was applying pressure on me.

This pressure only lasted a second before disappearing.

I could see that Mu Gong was helping me take this pressure, which was why it disappeared all of a sudden like this.

After another tense moment of silence, Governor Nangong slowly said with a nod, "Six months then. Just wash your necks and wait."

He didn't even bother waiting for an answer as he waved his hand at his soldiers and they turned to leave.

In just a few minutes, all of the soldiers disappeared along with Governor Nangong.

If one hadn't seen them, they wouldn't have believed that they were just here.
