The Pleasure Lord

Chapter 74 Becoming Famous

The news about Alex, the Pro-Disciple of Alchemist Master Clayton beating Lord Darren’s son along with all his son’s guards in the middle of the street spread like wildfire to every corner of the City.

All the nobles’ families were shocked when they got the news, and some of their expressions turned ugly while some gloated in their hearts.

This was the first time ever that a civilian had ever so humiliated a Noble of the city in public.

...

"I heard that it was the young master Darien who started the fight first"

"That doesn’t even matter; Darien is the only son of our Lord. Surely, that guy Alex would soon be hanged for daring to do such a thing."

...

"Do you know that Alex is just a 15-year-old kid and he defeated an 8th grade Body Tempering Realm cultivator!"

"What! Have you drunk in daylight, how is that possible. I don’t believe."

...

"I heard that Alex is 7 feet tall man and has a body of a bull."

...

"HAHA, that little devil Darien finally hit a hard wall. Who is that young man who did such a good deed? I want to take him as my boss," said a young man who clearly looked excited when he heard Darien getting thrashed by a civilian like him.

Many citizens had different thoughts on this matter. But most of them were in favor of Alex because they all knew about Darien’s character and had long been oppressed by the Nobles.

Especially, the young master of the Noble clan like Darien Dorbank. They are in favor of Alex because they heard many good things about him after this event which caused them to form a good image of Alex in their hearts.

Well, this credit has to be given to the puppets because they spared no effort in spreading good things about Alex and his deeds in the ears of the common people.

Alex is the most handsome guy on this Island. He is the Pro-Disciple of Alchemist Master Clayton and is also a genius in Alchemy and cultivation that can only be found in centuries.

All in all, Alex’s puppets are trying their best to make their master look good. Because of this Alex was becoming famous and popular between common people which also caused the collection of faith points by the Book to skyrocket and increase with much better speed than before.

...

"You did well, Alex."

Master Clayton complimented after he heard about today’s event from his servant who was present there and jumped in between to deter Aiden and his men by telling them about Alex’s identity. Aiden being smart, decisively choose to let Alex leave and took Darien who back to the manor to treat his wounds.

The feeling this fifteen-year-old young man gave Master Clayton was special. He was by no means an ordinary person.

"But Alex, you need to be careful. As much as I know Lord Darren Dorbank, he would have easily given me face and not pursue this matter if it didn’t happen in front of the public. But this is not the case now; you have openly beaten his son and have also exposed your strength in public. Both of them are not in the interest of Lord Darren. He will definitely come to me to apologize but he won’t leave you alone after what you have done. Be alert, he would definitely have his revenge in the dark."

Alex bowed and nodded his head. Personally he didn’t care but he knew that trouble will definitely come to him soon.

....

At the same moment, in the Dorbank family manor.

"Ah!"

Amidst a shout, Darien gradually regained consciousness. He could feel intense pain on his face, mostly around the nose. Alex truly did not show any mercy in his punch at all.

"You have awakened!"

A faint voice reached his ears. Darien jolted. He turned around and saw a towering figure standing by the window, with his back facing him.

"Father!"

Darien struggled to stand up and walk over.

"Tell me everything about that Alex and today’s affairs. Everything, including the insignificant details!"

Lord Darren’s voice was cold and it was difficult to discern his current emotions.

"Alex"

Darien was stunned. He didn’t expect that the first thing his father would do after his awakening was to ask about that Alex. He didn’t even ask about his injuries.

But he knew his father’s temper and also knew that his father would get to know about truth from his subordinates so Darien also didn’t want to lie.

He told his father about the whole incident, from the day when they first met till today. Of course, Darien tried to make him look more like the victim.

After which, Lord Darren’s face darkened and for a long moment, he was silent.

"That is to say, the reason why you sent two cultivators of 8th-grade body tempering realm behind him is because that guy Alex humiliated you in front of the Yandell Family and your fiancée Elaina. And today when you saw him walking healthy on the streets; you went on to confront him about that day. Alex then didn’t give you respect as a Noble and even attacked you and your guards, trampling on our family honor and my authority as Lord of this city. Is this what you just said? "

Lord Darren asked.

"Yes!"

The moment Darien’s words sounded, pah! A slap struck heavily on Darien’s face. His face immediately swelled up more.

"Fabherr?!" he couldn’t even speak clearly for a moment because of the swelling.

Darien grabbed his left cheek as he stared at his father in shock. This was the first time his father had hit him like that.

"You beast! Do you know that you have wrecked my careful planning! Do you how much effort I have put into making Master Clayton choose my side in the future! You had to make enemies with his disciple and give our enemies a chance to win Master Clayton. Now I have to go there and apologize to him because of you so that our relationship doesn’t turn bad!"

Lord Darren Dorbank had a savage expression on his face. He was truly enraged.

Putong!

Darien’s face changed and he immediately knelt onto the floor. This was the first time seeing his father flying into such a temper.

Even so, Lord Darren’s rage wasn’t quenched.

Lord Darren never would have expected that after planning everything down to the very details to achieve perfection in bringing Master Clayton into his camp or at least not let him choose the other side, his plan would be foiled in the hands of his own son.

Alex?

Usually, this kind of person was nothing more than an ant to them.

Yet, to think that Alex is not only talented in Alchemy which made Alchemist Master Clayton take him as his Pro-Disciple, Lord Darren also came to know today that Alex, who is just a 15-year-old teen could defeat an 8th grade cultivator easily which ultimately makes Alex the strongest and the most talented cultivation genius if compared to his peer’s on this Island like Elaina Yandell.

And what is laughable is that Alex was just a commoner in a village before.

Lord Darren felt angrier when he compared his son’s ability that had been fed with precious cultivation resources since birth with Alex, a commoner.

If word were to spread out, he would become a laughingstock! But he knew that it would definitely spread out because this event happened in the middle of the street filled with people.
