"Boom!!"
A clap of thunder rang out, clear and resonant within the dining room.
The entire Baron's Mansion is only three stories high, with a structure similar to a courtyard. Outside the dining room is a garden planted with purple morning glories.
"Hahaha... cough, cough cough."
Lin Ke originally wanted to laugh wildly, like a villain.
But halfway through the laugh, he realized his vocal cords hadn't matured, making his laughter sound strange and somewhat awkward.
"Cough cough." He coughed twice dryly, then shook his head: "Puxin, do you know what is most afraid of thunder and lightning on a rainy day?"
"Puxin", it sounds strange, like a monk's title.
"My name is Sangdir Azen, Young Master Lin Ke." Puxin corrected Lin Ke's error, puzzled at Lin Ke's sudden change, and frowned: "Rainy days? Those who are most afraid of thunder and lightning must be those without shelter."
He glanced meaningfully at the helpless Fulon and the upright Lin Ke.
Lin Ke shook his head, whispered: "The ones who should fear thunder the most are those ugly maggots living under the trees in darkness!"
Lin Ke looked at Puxin with a smile in his eyes, causing Puxin to frown again.
"Kill him! Father, kill Lin Ke!"
"Wuwuwu, my poor son! Guards! Guards, hurry and kill him!"
"Hmm."
Puxin didn't know why Lin Ke was so confident, but he had run out of patience.
The woman with a yellow face was sobbing, and her foolish son was screaming at the top of his lungs.
Added to that were the continuous thunderclaps in the sky, creating a low pressure that inexplicably made him feel irritable.
"Make your choice, Lin Ke, my nephew."
Puxin couldn't even bring himself to call him "Young Master", having lost patience and etiquette along with it.
Evidently, his mood became increasingly irritable, like a wild beast sensing the impending storm without realizing the danger.
Lin Ke looked outside the door and saw the gathering dark clouds.
At this point, everyone in the city felt a gradually thickening pressure settling in their hearts, making it hard to breathe.
Whether an ordinary beggar or a high-tier professional, they all felt a heavy discomfort in their hearts, as if a predator hovered above.
Of course, those professionals were only level one, two, or three, but they were still considered overlords of Parrot City.
"Make your choice quickly!"
Within the Baron's Mansion, Puxin uncomfortably unbuttoned his shirt, feeling increasingly oppressed by the low pressure, prompting him to harshly admonish.
However, before Lin Ke could respond, a thunderous roll sounded from the outside sky, accompanied by a voice akin to celestial thunder:
"Hand over my disciple—Linke Azen!! Or... I will destroy this city!!!"
This is... Ove's voice!
Lin Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief, immediately waved to the Servant of Truth, sending the power of the Scholar surging through him.
The Servant of Truth's body flickered violently with purple light as it surged outside, knocking the guards away.
At this moment, Puxin and the others were still in shock and processing the thunderous words, watching as Lin Ke led Fulon and the Servant of Truth out of the room.
Meanwhile, the entire city was in turmoil.
"It's a professional, a high-tier professional lord!"
"Definitely level fifteen or above!"
"Fifteen level?! Oh! Terrifying! The highest level I've known in my life is level three!"
"Lin Ke, who is Lin Ke?"
"Lin Ke... Young Master Lin Ke! It must be Young Master Lin Ke! Linke Azen!"
"Who captured Young Master Lin Ke! Andrew's Leg, are they trying to doom us?"
"Dare to capture the eldest son of Lord Garoce?"
Countless people murmured in panic, some trembling, some frantically trying to flee the city.
At this time, the Servant of Truth ascended, emitting bright purple light, like a slowly rising star, starkly visible in the darkness.
"Boom!!!!"
A terrifyingly thick lightning bolt struck in that direction, illuminating the entire Parrot City with its electric light.
"Who! Who is trying to harm my disciple!"
An enraged voice echoed, Ove transformed into lightning, striking down in the Baron's garden like a meteor falling.
Endless currents spread like a web, instantly turning the garden's delicate flowers into charcoal and ash.
Arcs of electricity moved densely across his body, his long white beard and hair billowing freely, unwound, his eyes flashing piercing purple light, like flashlights, penetrating the walls.
Like the descent of a thunder god!
"You! Are you trying to harm my disciple?"
Ove descended, seeing Lin Ke who had just burst out of the guard's encirclement, and also the one inside, Pu Xinzi, roaring furiously.
"Boom!!"
The magic staff in his hand struck the ground heavily, all the electric light suddenly converged, rushing to the staff's tip like sand in an hourglass.
Immediately after, a dazzling light sphere lit up at the tip of the staff.
From the lightning sphere, dozens of terrifying plasma streams shot out, slicing through the ground and leaving charred marks.
"I'll kill you." Ove's voice was like an enraged deity: "Thunder... Storm!!!"
Endless lightning elements poured into the plasma ball at the staff's tip, the plasma ball slowly rose towards the sky, even creating a brief vacuum of thunder elements.
Ove's skill — Thunderstorm!
The plasma within the sphere grew larger and larger, like cascading waterfalls, the brick houses of the Baron's Mansion were exploding and melting in the high temperatures it generated.
"Look! What is that!"
"Help! The High-tier Professional is going to destroy the city!"
"Oh almighty Goddess of Wealth, please redeem me..."
"Isn't he afraid of the Insomnia Emperor and the agreement with the Professionals?!"
The entire Parrot City was in chaos, countless professionals fled, while ordinary people were in utter despair, some even began to pray.
Not good!
Lin Ke saw this and immediately shouted loudly to stop: "Teacher! Stop! Knicks tricked you! I'm fine!"
Oh god! Is Teacher Ove going to wipe me out too?
Ove over there heard Lin Ke's shout, his eyes looked over, reason instantly returned a bit: "Little Lin Ke... what exactly is going on?"
"Teacher, please remove that lightning ball first!"
Lin Ke looked at the ever-growing lightning ball, worrying it would harm the innocent, even lead to the destruction of Parrot City.
After all, Lin Ke considered Parrot City his own private property.
"Boom!!" Ove heard this and struck the ground heavily with the magic staff again.
"Boom!!"
The terrifying plasma ball rising slowly turned into a balloon, gently bursting and transforming into a shower of light dots falling down.
A large-scale skill halted just like that, even Ove was unharmed, showcasing Ove's remarkable control.
Lin Ke extended a hand to feel, those light dots were lightning elements not yet fully returned to atomic state, tingling slightly upon touching the skin.
"Little Lin Ke, what really happened?"
At this moment, Ove no longer seemed socially anxious.
He ignored those servants lying around frothing at the mouth, concernedly looking at Lin Ke, and upon confirming Lin Ke was indeed unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay teacher, Knicks didn't deceive you, it was just too dangerous earlier, so I had to shout randomly."
Lin Ke said apologetically.
"As long as you're fine, before coming I captured some level one professionals heading to Azaenn Castle and interrogated them, they said your father was in dire straits."
Ove, looking heavy-hearted, patted Lin Ke's head and glanced at the weary Fulon, sighed, his previous fury diluted.
"It's alright, teacher." Receiving this concern from the old socially anxious, Lin Ke felt warm inside.
"As for this Baron family, I'll help you kill them all."
Ove looked at Pu Xinzi's family sitting on the ground in the dining room, utterly terrified, his eyebrows raised coldly.
"No, no! Spare me, spare me!"
Pu Xinzi suddenly scrambled over from the ground.
He was completely terrified under Ove's thunderstorm just now.
That was divine wrath!
"It's all him! It's all his doing! It has nothing to do with us!" On the other side, Pu Xinzi's wife pointed shrieking at her own husband: "Galicia is my and the Guard Captain's son! We are innocent! It's all him! It's all Sangdir's doing!"
She was scared out of her wits.
Sangdir, without thinking, turned and roared: "You bitch! It's all because of you and your bastard! Your family's endless demands and requests forced me to take risks! Bastard!"
He too was scared witless now, just wanting to survive.
"I saw father and the head maid wrestling on the bed!" Pu Xinzi's child also panicked, with blood at the corner of his mouth.
Pu Xinzi, Pu Xinzi's child, and Pu Xinzi's wife fell into a raging quarrel, with ugly expressions and fierce tones.
Under the terrifying pressure of a level nineteen professional, they were nothing but maggots trying to survive.
