Chapter 21: You’re Full of Crap!!!

Harlin was extremely confident in his sudden decision.

The item in that box was enough to make even a noble Young Master like Rein display keen interest.

It was bound to be something good!

Even if he couldn’t use it as a magical artifact, he could still sell it later for a good price.

Harlin finished speaking.

The Central Square fell dead silent, and everyone present turned to look at Rein.

They watched Rein examining the box with intense curiosity.

It seemed they were all trying to figure out what was inside the box.

Only Brent was holding back his laughter.

Others didn’t know what was in the box, but he certainly did.

Brent moved back into the crowd of his family, trying to lower his profile.

“Don’t let anyone notice me.”

He didn’t want the secret of the box to come out and for Rein to expose Damon too.

He certainly did not want to face Fabian Ward, the doting father.

Meanwhile, Rein, who was closely examining the box, looked at Harlin with a strange expression.

“Interesting; after so many years, it’s always been me, Rein, snatching other people’s shares, but today… hehe.”

“Are you sure you want my stuff? I’m afraid you won’t live long enough to use it.”

Rein rubbed the box with his hand and squinted at Harlin.

“Hahaha, Young Master Rein, isn’t this just me playing with my life?” Harlin retorted.

Nobody knew what was in the box, but from Rein’s expression and tone they inferred it must be valuable.

The contents had to be something truly precious.

Fude glanced at Charlie beside him, hesitated, then came to Rein’s side and whispered.

“Rein, what’s inside the box?”

Hearing his father’s question, Rein didn’t know how to answer.

Should he say it was Sophia’s underwear?

Wouldn’t Fude rip him a new one right then and there?

Even if Fude did nothing after finding out, what about Sophia?

Don’t forget Sophia is still by Fabian Ward’s side, watching the whole thing.

“Father, inside it is… whatever it is, I’m not handing it over.”

Rein did not specify what was inside, but his attitude was clear: he would never give it up.

If everyone here saw it was underwear, Rein would lose all dignity… though he had little to begin with.

“Hand him the box first; let’s see what Harlin intends to do… I assure you he won’t escape.”

“The nearby space has already been sealed; even if he sprouted wings today, he couldn’t get away.”

Although Fude did not want to trouble his son, when confronted with his former subordinate he had no choice but to discuss it with Rein.

But Rein remained completely firm.

“No.”

Fude was helpless.

“A Rank 4 treasure.”

A thoughtful look flashed in Rein’s eyes, but he remained unmoved.

“Rank 5.”

As soon as Fude finished speaking, Rein’s eyes lit up.

Who cared about face? A treasure was far more substantial.

A Rank 5 treasure would start at no less than 10,000 Energy Points.

“Really?” Rein asked uncertainly, afraid the old man would go back on his word.

“Mm.”

“All right then.”

Harlin, seeing that Fude and Rein had finished negotiating, spoke excitedly.

“So? Young Master Rein?”

Rein fiddled with the box and didn’t look at Harlin directly.

“I might give it to you… but only if you trade me that recording stone in your hand.”

Harlin paused in surprise and said, “Of course.”

“Then please have Viscount Hill find a commoner to bring these items to me.”

Charlie waved his hand and immediately a guard found an ordinary person in the crowd.

That man arrived beside Harlin carrying two boxes… one large and one small.

“All right, just leave them here; you can go.”

Harlin watched the man who delivered the boxes warily.

After setting down the boxes, the man returned to Charlie’s side to receive his reward.

Ever vigilant, Harlin opened the boxes containing the treasure and the breathing technique to inspect them.

After confirming there were no mistakes, he stored both the breathing technique and the treasure into his Aetheric Device.

He then picked up Rein’s exquisite little box from the ground.

He was curious to see what treasure could make Rein look so excited.

Seeing Harlin about to open the box, Rein spoke up to interrupt him.

“Give me the recording stone.”

“Hold on, Young Master Rein; once I see what’s inside, I’ll give it to you.”

Harlin smiled and slowly opened the box, revealing its contents.

Wow! A Golden Legend!

Upon opening the box, a white light seemed to radiate out.

He stared at the contents of the box.

Harlin almost lost his breath and stood there dumbfounded.

“Un… underwear!?”

A pure white bra and panties adorned with a small bow.

A thunderclap sounded from the sky in perfect timing.

It struck everyone like a thunderbolt to the heart.

In the next moment, everyone, including Harlin, turned to look at Rein.

Facing everyone’s strange gazes, Rein’s face flushed red; he coughed twice and then turned his head to the side.

In each person’s eyes there was first shock, then doubt, and finally relief after looking at Rein.

Well, this was so like Rein.

If it had been someone else, they might have been puzzled, but for Rein and his circle it was hardly surprising.

Fude’s mouth twitched as he looked at Rein; for some random underwear, he had been swindled out of a Rank 5 treasure.

Well done, Rein; you really know how to swindle me.

Still in disbelief, Harlin continued rifling through the other items in the box.

Finally, he found another item.

A slip of paper.

Harlin picked up the paper and, as if possessed, read it aloud.

“So… Sophia’s underwear color today is pink?”

Again, a thunderclap struck everyone’s hearts from the sky.

Then everyone turned their gazes simultaneously to Sophia and Fabian.

Fabian and Sophia were immediately stunned as well.

Had the bystanders gotten caught up in the drama themselves?

But Fabian quickly reacted.

“You’re full of crap!!!!” Fabian shouted.

Normally very gentlemanly, Fabian let out a roar of anger.

Immediately he drew his lance and threw it at Harlin.

He intended to kill this man who had slandered his daughter.

Neither Charlie nor Fude had expected such a scene.

Fude hurried forward to block it.

But Harlin had already been terrified by Fabian’s astonishing murderous intent.

He promptly used a teleportation scroll and vanished in an instant.

Harlin’s teleportation scroll was so advanced that even the Ward family’s sealed-space artifact couldn’t stop him.

After catching Fabian’s lance, Fude’s veins bulged as he looked at the spot where Harlin had vanished.

He got away!?

At that moment, a beam of sunlight shot through the dark clouds above and shone directly on the white underwear left on the ground.

The white underwear gleamed radiantly in the sunlight.

As if it were the only highlight in all creation.

It immediately left everyone present momentarily stunned, then they shifted their gazes back to Rein.

Rein, who had just come to Harlin’s vanishing spot to gather the underwear from the ground, was momentarily stunned.

He picked up the recording stone from the ground and interjected.

“This recording stone is empty, you little brat tricked me!”

Hoping to shift the discussion away from the underwear.

Facing Rein’s attempt at diversion, no one paid any attention.

Fabian fixed his gaze on Rein like an eagle.

“Rein, you brat, you need to explain this underwear thing.”

Seeing Fabian’s dangerous expression, Rein quickly hid behind Fude.

With an innocent look, Rein said, “Uncle Fabian, you can’t believe that scoundrel’s words.”

“Only that person saw what was written on the note; we don’t know what it said.”

Hearing this, Fabian narrowed his eyes and immediately began searching for the paper but found nothing.

Because Harlin had already teleported away with the paper.

Fude beside him also looked at Rein with a menacing expression.

“You little brat, I told you not to mess with Sophia and you wouldn’t listen? Just wait until we get home, I’ll tear you a new one.”

“Still want a Rank 5 treasure? How about five hundred slaps instead?”

Suddenly Rein sensed something.

“Father, hurry, remove the spatial seal now!”

Faced with Rein’s sudden seriousness, everyone froze in surprise.

Fude quickly recovered and gave Jonas beside him a look.

Jonas instantly transformed into streaks of black shadow and vanished.

In no time, Rein felt the space seal being lifted.

Rein immediately used teleportation and followed a silvery thread of light in his vision.

The silvery thread dissipated quickly, yet Rein moved at an incredible speed.

The heads of the major families looked at each other, even though this matter had little to do with Mick family head Brent.

But a few of them still followed Rein’s lead.

Seeing the silvery thread, Rein immediately thought of what Dean had said.

Spatial Mana Perception.
