Tears swirled in her eyes, and her gaze immediately reddened, a wave of sorrow washing over Natasha’s perfectly fair features! This expression… it was the exact same look Filia had given her when she falsely accused her back in the clan!

Chen Feng’s pupils constricted, his eyes widening, a fierce surge of madness and anger rising within him. He lifted his right hand as if to grab his hair, but instead caught the edge of his cloak.

“Hahahaha…” A wild laugh broke the silence! He shook off Vina’s hands gripping his arm, speaking each word deliberately and coldly: “I… have… no… in… terest!” “You… you’re just going to stand by and watch someone die?” Vina could hardly believe such cold-bloodedness existed in the world!

“If I saved everyone who was dying, I’m afraid I’d work myself to death!” Chen Feng’s voice rang out, cold and arrogant! When had anyone ever helped him when he was struggling?

Why should he help this person! Who had offered aid when he endured endless humiliation within his own family?

Who had come to his defense when Qigu brutally snapped both his arms and knocked out his teeth? And all his kindness toward Filia earned him was, “You’re lying!

Stuart is right; I saw you steal the jade bracelet…” Everything that had happened since his transmigration flashed through his mind like a sequence from a film. Overwhelmed by inner turmoil, Chen Feng pulled open the door and stormed out!

The moment he stepped outside, he heard a whistling rush in his ear as a massive object hurtled toward his head! ………… “That brute…” Natasha’s delicate face flushed with anger, tears still clinging to her eyes.

Anyone unaware of the situation would surely think she had just been abandoned by a faithless lover! “Alas,” Vina sighed, slowly approaching the window.

This window, situated on the outermost edge of the tall building, offered a perfect view of the central thoroughfare of Gnam Town. “What do you think of this man named Yashin?” Vina suddenly asked!

“He’s not a man! He’s an animal!” Natasha retorted hotly, the earlier distress completely gone from her expression.

If she knew that Chen Feng had originally intended to agree to help them but changed his mind instantly upon seeing that very expression on her face, she might have felt differently! “It’s understandable; he’s correct in what he did,” Vina’s voice was somewhat subdued.

“The life or death of us Dragon Speakers has nothing to do with him. If it were me, I wouldn't agree either!” “But… what angers me is that even after you spoke to him like that, Lord Vina, he maintained that attitude!

Who does he think he is? Just a Third-Tier Fighter!

What’s so great about that! We gave him some respect, and he thinks he’s a Battle Venerable?” Natasha fumed!

Vina was silent for a moment before abruptly asking, “Natasha, how do you gauge his actual strength?” Natasha clenched her teeth, spitting hatefully, “He’s just putting on an act. I suspect even his Third-Tier Fighter cultivation might be fake!” “His Third-Tier Fighter cultivation is fake?” Hearing this, Vina could only smile bitterly and shake his head!

This girl must be blinded by anger. If a powerhouse capable of unleashing flames that bizarre wasn't even a Third-Tier Fighter, then there were likely no Third-Tier Fighters left in this world!

Recalling the coldness in the eyes of this man named Yashin and that faint azure flame, Vina felt a chill run down his spine! The skeleton that had been reduced to ash by the flames just moments ago was… the skeleton of a Wyvern!

This youth actually possessed a Fire Attribute Battle Skill capable of incinerating a Wyvern’s skeleton! Never mind how powerful his sect must be; just the fact that he achieved such a formidable technique before the age of eighteen meant his future prospects were astonishing!

One must remember that while Wyverns are a distant branch of the Dragon race, their physical resilience and skeletal density surpass even that of ordinary Fifth-Tier Magical Beasts. Ordinary swords and blades striking such a skeleton wouldn't even leave a scratch, yet that opponent merely flicked a finger… and that supposedly indestructible Wyvern bone turned into a pile of white ash within ten seconds… Possessing such a powerful Battle Skill, how wonderful it would have been if he had actually agreed to help them enter the Wyvern Selection Tournament!

But… the agreed time with the Wyvern Patriarch is tomorrow, and they are still one person short! What were they to do now!

“Alas,” Vina sighed, sinking into deep contemplation! ………… Chen Feng sidestepped just as the object shot past.

The thing hurtling towards him turned out to be a solid wooden counter, nearly as tall as a man! He turned to look in the direction the counter had come from, and his eyes fell upon the very Knight who had nearly run him over on the road earlier!

“Get out of the way, you cowardly worm!” the Knight roared at Chen Feng! Chen Feng, clad in a black robe and cloak, wore the typical attire of timid merchants—people constantly worried about their valuables being stolen or others harming them, thus wrapping themselves tightly for protection.

Such timidity was often scorned by Knights possessing some degree of actual strength! “Pascale, be polite!

You almost struck this gentleman!” A voice, like a heavenly melody, echoed through the hall, instilling a warm sensation in everyone who heard it. Chen Feng finally noticed that standing next to the man named Pascale was a young girl, dressed in a light purple martial uniform, cinched at a slender, palm-sized waist with a pure white sash, her long black hair flowing… she was truly a sight of unparalleled beauty!

“I apologize, sir! Pascale was a bit rash just now; please don’t take offense!” the girl said sweetly, bowing to Chen Feng.

This girl possessed an aura that was naturally convincing. Her bow was neither quick nor slow; it was composed yet elegant, instantly catching the eye, making it impossible to remain angry!

Chen Feng’s previous frenzy dissipated instantly upon hearing her words! “It’s nothing,” Chen Feng said, almost without thinking, and continued walking forward!

“Miss Judy! I truly don't wish to quarrel with you!

However… I must have this Fourth-Tier Spirit Core! Please forgive me!” A voice, measured and unhurried, drifted over from Chen Feng’s other side.

Chen Feng turned his head and finally understood why a counter had flown towards his head! It turned out two groups of people had clashed over a dispute, escalating into a full-blown fight, and Chen Feng had unfortunately walked right into the middle of them.

Seeing the tense standoff between the two factions, Chen Feng suddenly recalled what Natasha had told him on the way upstairs. That beautiful young woman must be Judy, the third daughter of the Blood Wolf Mercenary Group’s Old Wolf Head.

The silver-armored youth facing her was Jimmy, the son of Baron Ans. They were arguing because both had set their sights on the same Wind Attribute Fourth-Tier Spirit Core!

Pascale’s rough voice rang out, “I already told you, our young lady saw this Spirit Core first! If you don’t hand it back, I won’t be polite!” Jimmy sneered, ignoring the threat, “If she saw it first, why didn’t she buy it?

Since I’m the one who bought it first, why should I have to fight over it!” Pascale retorted angrily, “Doesn’t my young lady have enough money on her! Didn’t she send me back to fetch the funds…” Judy interrupted Pascale, saying, “That’s enough.

I don’t want this Spirit Core anymore; I’ll find another chance later!” With that, she turned to Jimmy, “Since you are determined to have it and paid for it first, you can take it!”
