Chapter 179 - 170: Promotion to Baron
"Boss!" As Lu Hong awoke, Lock Fan excitedly lunged at him, but Lu Hong, whose mind was still in disarray, instinctively summoned the Blood Holy Sword. The cold gleam of the blade was aimed straight at Lock Fan’s heart.
"Watch out!" The Knight quickly pulled Lock Fan back and said in a serious tone, "He hasn’t fully come to his senses, don’t get close to him!"
"Oh, oh." Lock Fan nodded, feeling a lingering sense of fear as he touched his pounding heart. Then he asked worriedly, "How long until Boss recovers?"
"How would I know? Anyway, as long as you don’t get near him, he won’t attack you." The Knight stared at Lu Hong, unable to help but marvel at how this was the same kid who had fooled him before. At that time, he couldn’t even beat him, so how could he have killed three major worshippers by himself?
Although puzzled, the Knight wasn’t in a hurry. Well, once this guy came to his senses, he would just need to ask to know if it wasn’t his adversary. And if it was, he could even avenge the humiliation of being toyed with back then, couldn’t he?
With no threat left, Lu Hong mechanically withdrew the Holy Sword, staring ahead blankly as his brain gradually thawed.
Three hours passed, and Lu Hong’s eyes finally brightened, then he roared in anger, "Piao Miao! I will kill you... you... huh? Lock Fan?!"
"Boss? You’ve recovered?" This time, the Knight didn’t stop him as Lock Fan, close to tears, hugged Lu Hong excitedly, "I thought you were dead!"
"Woof woof!" The dog awkwardly barked twice from the side.
"You came too, Dog? Didn’t you run away?" Lu Hong noticed the dog as well and, upon asking Nono earlier, learned that it sneaked off. He didn’t mind since his bond with the dog was coincidental, and there wasn’t much connection between them.
