Chapter 188: Arrival
"Raging Bonk Release!"
Another eruption of Magic Power was released from Yale's body. It was so strong that the eruption created a small shock wave to shake the area.
The assassin leader and his subordinates couldn't contain their shock. This kind of power eruption coming from a ten years old kid was impossible.
Yale was known to be an anomaly who couldn't even get as strong as the other princes and princesses. Yet, the thing he showed right now had completely surpassed all of them. If he just showed this power and beat the other candidates in the sacred duel, the king would voluntarily give him the throne.
Albeit, this one prince never had the intention to get the throne even if the king begged him. He simply wished to ride back to his master and repay him.
'There is a limit for this power according to Teacher. So, I should finish this as soon as possible.' Yale thought as his purpose using this spell was to eliminate all threats.
Using his Anti-Horny Step, Yale appeared right in front of the leader first because he was the one giving the order.
Since he was coming to him, the leader prepared to sacrifice his life to buy some time for his subordinates.
Unfortunately for him, one of his arms was already gone. If before he couldn't even contain Yale's strike, there was no way he could stop Yale's attack.
With the light and darkness enveloping his bonk bat, Yale struck the leader from above. The leader tried all he could to deflect it to the side, but Yale showed an even stronger power.
When the bat hit the dagger, the leader's wrist snapped, resulting in the bonk bat directly crushing his head.
Died.
Despite his victory, Yale couldn't relax yet. He immediately waved his bonk bat to the side, shooting the crescent-shaped energy to kill the running assassin.
The latter managed to barely avoid it, but Yale took that opportunity to catch up to him, killing him in a single swing.
After that, Yale turned back and chased the last one.
The assassin was panicking, but there was nothing he could do as Yale gradually came closer to him. Right before he died, he turned around to see his killer, Yale, before saying, "Glory to the Pride Kin—"
He couldn't finish his sentence as Yale crushed his head too.
"One minute huh. I still have some time to find a hiding place since I can't move my body for twelve hours." Yale took a deep breath and disappeared from the area.
He found a small plain surrounded by trees, so he closed the entrance by putting a few trees he cut from the area. This way, no monster should be able to find him.
After finishing the preparation, he leaned back on the tree while sighing. "How many of them again? I have experienced four assassinations attempts in the past month. Did they not learn that their efforts are meaningless?
"Did they think that just because I'm not with my teacher they can kill me? I guess I should be thankful for the opportunity Teacher gave me. If I didn't bonk many soldiers to increase my power, I wouldn't be able to defeat all these assassins.
"And because of this journey, Teacher didn't need to bother with the assassins since their priority is me." Yale let out a long sigh, looking at the complicated situation. "Should I declare my intention?
"I don't want to have anything to do with the royal family. But they won't buy it since they think the king can force me to take the throne. They need me to die. In that case, I should finish my journey sooner than expected…
"As long as I can graduate from Teacher and learn 6-Star Spells, I should be able to fend everything. Unless my father wants to wage war with the Lust Kingdom, he shouldn't send a powerful expert to this country to kill my teacher.
"Now that I think about it, Teacher has learned 7-Star Spell. I believe he's going to do something more in the near future. There's also his battle against Her Majesty Lilith.
"If he can make a huge deal about it, it should be able to stop the assassinations plot. After all, the only person they can send is among the top ten strongest people in their country.
"In that case, there's going to be something interesting soon. I should prepare for that as well." He smiled and gradually closed his eyes. "Either way, I can't do anything in the next twelve hours. I should get some rest so I can run for three days straight to the capital city of the Gluttony Kingdom."
As soon as he woke up, he started making some plans about Albert's protection from political stuff. Although he didn't want to insult his Teacher, Albert wasn't someone that good in discussing politics.
Even his agreements with others were pretty straightforward. If Yale was the one making that agreement, he would have taken more advantage of the person's limited knowledge.
That was also the reason why Lilith told Albert not to believe everyone easily.
As soon as he could move again, Yale made his way toward the capital city.
Since he had no problem with supplies, Yale skipped all cities he passed and continued his way straight to the capital city. He didn't bother to rest because he could get plenty of rest in his destination.
At the same time, he used this chance to get away from any potential assassinations. After all, no one would be able to catch up to his current speed. And there was no one dumb enough to try assassinating him in the capital city of the Gluttony Kingdom.
Just thinking about the potential disaster that would happen to the Pride Kingdom if someone assassinated a prince like him already put a stop in the assassins' minds.
Three days later.
Yale finally reached the capital city. Just like the city he used to live in, the capital city was worth its name.
It stretched more than thirty miles in diameter. At the same time, there was a huge wall that stood in their way, making it hard to destroy the city. Multiple ditches were protecting the city, so no people could easily come closer.
Yale found the city gate and immediately lined up, preparing to enter the city. And because of his identity, he covered most of his body and face with a robe while using his identity as an A Rank Adventurer to deal with this stuff.
Obviously, an adventurer at this level had gained some respects from the people. After all, no one could fabricate the adventurer's system. So, whatever was written on the ID Card was real.
Even if the guards were shocked and doubted a ten years old boy could become an A Rank Adventurer, they couldn't stop him from entering this place.
Obviously, there was a ruckus when the soldier reported about his finding. And the succubus easily found out about the source of the information, knowing Yale had entered the city.
So, when Yale visited the brothel, he was greeted by the manager immediately and taken to the room.
"Your Highness." The manager politely bowed her head, showing respect to Yale.
"I think you know why I came here." Yale nodded. He didn't beat around the bush and immediately went straight to the problem.
"Yes. The auction will be held tomorrow. As for the participants, there are a few nobles showing their intentions in buying her. Her Highness Renee is a talented person after all. Her talents have been recognized by many people.
"Her temperament, talent, and qualities will bloom even more from this point on. So, it will increase her price greatly.
"Hence, we have transferred money from various places to here." The manager smiled and pointed at a few huge chests in the room.
"How much money have they prepared?" Yale asked with a grim expression.
"There are three big competitors for you in this auction. The first is the biggest merchant firm, Aolaya. He has the biggest cash flow among the three. According to our information, he should have prepared at least 100,000 gold coins to buy her."
"100,000 Gold Coins…" Yale narrowed his eyes. "At this level, you can run a dukedom for a month."
He still remembered the worth of the Magic Potions that Albert sold to the succubus queen. If he kept selling those potions, he would need years just to get that amount."
"As for the second competitor, it will be Duke Heista. He's known to be a lecher who likes many sorts of kinks. Even our succubus are scared of him if he visits the brothel. He has prepared 70,000 gold coins, but I'm afraid he can pawn some deeds to increase his fund.
"Last but not least, it's the Holy Kingdom. They have pawned some stuff to buy her. We haven't made the calculation, but they roughly have 120,000 coins. It seems they're planning to use her life to get more followers. Something like purification of the demons… Either way, her fate will be worse than the other two." She explained.
Yale narrowed his eyes while clenching his hands.
"Don't worry. We have prepared 500,000 coins for you!" The manager smiled. "You can use all these coins to bid as you like."
"500,000 coins?!" Yale widened his eyes in shock. Even for the Lust Kingdom, this amount of money wasn't small. To think they would let him use all this just to buy Renee.
The manager delivered the killing blow by stating, "Your Teacher has sent a message for you. If money can stop a lifelong regret, it's money well spent. Don't worry about spending money.. I'll bear all the responsibility. Be sure to create an unforgettable moment… This is the time you shall act like a man!"
