Chapter 218: New Friend
In one part of the city, a grand mansion stood surrounded by a vast garden. Guards and maids moved busily here and there, tending to their duties. Anyone passing by this mansion would immediately recognize its owner because of the symbol on top of it’s main gate, the Duke Lucard. This mansion served as his residence whenever he or any member of the Lucard family visited the capital.
Right now, inside one of the rooms in the mansion, a man sat on a sofa dressed in casual attire. He held a glass of wine in his hand, his expression relaxed as he gazed at the crimson liquid within. Slowly swirling the glass, he caught a glimpse of his own reflection in the wine. However, as memories of the humiliation he endured a few days ago resurfaced, his expression became twisted.
"That bitch! I’ll make sure you beg me to stop," he thought to himself.
This man was none other than Danius Lucard, the young master of the Lucard family. A few days ago, while he was with his group of noble friends, he had spotted two beautiful ladies visiting a restaurant. Among them was an elf, a sight that immediately caught his attention, as elves seldom ventured out of their own empire.
Desire ignited within him, and he believed that his status would allow him to have his way with her. After all, she was just an elf, one person. Surely the Ivory Empire wouldn’t bother paying attention to an individual like her, right?
However, she was truly stubborn, and when he tried to force her, she retaliated with strength beyond his expectations. Despite her cultivation being only at the High Viscount stage, she managed to overwhelm him, even though he was at the Peak Viscount stage. To make matters worse, her companion, a female demonic cultivator, defeated his guard, who was at the Middle Earl stage.
The onlookers were stunned, but before Danius or his other men could react, the two women vanished without a trace.
He had never felt such humiliation in his life. To think that those two women dared to make him, the young master of the Lucard family, look like a fool in front of his peers.
However, earlier, he received a report that the elf had been located. Without hesitation, he ordered his shadow guards to capture her. The thought of torturing that elf and making her beg for mercy filled him with anticipation.
Knock, knock.
Suddenly, the voice of a maid could be heard from outside the room. "Young master, they’ve returned."
