"The Orchid Family truly lives up to its reputation. Perhaps we should stay away from the descendants of these great families from the capital in the future."
"Too strong!! That Loren Grant is the strongest young man I've ever seen."
"I doubt anyone in Decker City can fight him!"
"That's a Gold Grade barbarian chieftain! How many people have fallen before him? Bearing the surname Grant, he is indeed extraordinary."
The Nobles from the Black Feather Merchant Association dispersed amidst excited chatter. By now, everyone knew.
That heroic and extraordinary young man would become famous among the Nobles of Decker City starting today.
It wasn't just that he had conquered the barbarians, a feat all Nobles wished to achieve, but also the powerful demeanor he displayed that had shaken their hearts.
Many female Nobles who witnessed the scene had their eyes glistening with tears.
Handsome appearance, powerful family background, and extraordinary personal strength – Loren's attributes were almost impeccable.
He perfectly fit the image of the Prince Charming from their dreams.
That day, the first thing many female Nobles did upon returning home was to send people to investigate everything about Loren. Some even boldly asked their parents if they could arrange a marriage alliance with the Orchid Family.
Worshiping strength is human nature, and in this chaotic and dangerous world, it undoubtedly intensified this natural inclination.
The curly-haired Noble and the blonde-haired Noble, surrounded by their guards, walked out of the slave trading market with complex emotions.
The blonde-haired Noble youth—Enli Deer, the only son of Marquis Deer of Decker City and the heir to the Marquis title—wore a look of shame.
"I never thought the Nobles of Decker City were inferior to those of the capital before, but now, I have to admit, perhaps there really is a gap between us."
Thinking of the heroic young man who, with Silver Grade power, confronted the entire barbarian tribe, he felt endless emotion.
"I really don't know why such an excellent descendant would come to the Northern Territory."
As if he had thought of something, he suddenly turned his head to look at the guards beside him.
"Go and investigate everything the descendant of the Orchid Family has done since arriving in Decker City!! I want all his information!!"
"Yes, Young Master Enli!"
After the guards left, the curly-haired Noble also came back to his senses and said with some unwillingness.
"Young Master Enli, although that guy is very strong, our Nobles in Decker City are not bad either.
The strongest among us have also had experiences fighting Gold Grade Warriors with Silver Grade power. They are just currently in the City Lord's Gold Knights and haven't come out yet.
Otherwise, it would have been the Nobles of Decker City who conquered the barbarians!"
Enli Deer shook his head. "You don't understand. Those few back then relied on the sharpness of their weapons and the sturdiness of their armor when fighting Gold Grade Warriors.
If you wear A-class extraordinary armor and wield an A-class extraordinary sword, you can also exchange a few blows with a Gold Grade Warrior wearing C-class standard armor.
Moreover, defeating barbarians is nothing, but confronting Gold Grade with Silver Grade, and the barbarians known for their strength, without any resistance.
I have never seen such an overbearing display."
His tone became solemn.
"More importantly, the other party is a descendant from the Orchid Family. Do you not know what that means?"
The curly-haired Noble was stunned for a moment, then said dejectedly, "It means no one dares to make a move against him."
With such a terrifying background, as long as the other party doesn't court death, it's almost impossible for anyone to target him. No one would want to antagonize that extraordinary family.
The name Orchid had long been integrated with the Silver Moon Kingdom. The Northern Territory could not afford to offend that legendary family.
Enli Deer nodded. "So, don't provoke this guy in the future."
"Young Master Enli, I'm not that stupid. This guy is practically not human. How could I provoke him!"
The curly-haired Noble pouted. The thought of the barbarian chieftain being beaten into a pulp sent shivers down his spine. What a tyrant!!
Enli Deer nodded and said nothing more. When the servant brought the carriage, he parted ways with the curly-haired Noble and got into the carriage alone.
The luxurious Noble carriage drove smoothly, without much jolting. In silence, the carriage entered a vast mansion.
"Young Master Enli, we're home."
The coachman elegantly opened the carriage door for Enli and bowed slightly.
Hearing the voice, Enli Deer, who had been lost in thought, snapped back to reality. After getting out of the carriage, he walked towards the manor in a daze.
The opulent furnishings of the manor did not attract his attention at all.
Even as he stepped into the central hall of the manor, he almost collided head-on with a figure coming towards him.
"Enli, what are you doing?"
Looking at the slightly angry and beautiful figure before him, Enli was startled awake and quickly apologized.
"Sorry, Sister, I was spacing out."
The girl, wearing a white dress and a white hat with a feather tilted forward, with an elegant and noble demeanor, relaxed her slightly furrowed brow. Then she asked curiously.
"Didn't you go to the Black Feather Merchant Association? Why are you back so soon? Have those barbarians been tamed?"
Before Enli could speak, a majestic voice came from the hall.
"Barbarians tamed?"
The stubborn wild bulls on the high mountains don't have the bloodline to surrender!
Even the Gold Knights never made them bow. A bunch of brash youngsters who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth, do you think you can make the barbarians surrender?"
A strange look appeared on Henry's face, then he turned and saluted the figure sitting in a luxurious gem-encrusted armchair in the hall, placing a hand on his chest.
"Good day, Father."
The Marquis Deer, dressed in a black noble formal suit, nodded and stood up, walking over to the two of them. He looked dotingly at the girl beside Enli.
"Elivise, if you can reach Gold Intermediate this month, perhaps you can try. While you can defeat barbarians now, you can't make them surrender yet."
After speaking, he turned to Enli, his face displeased as he reprimanded him.
"Enli, give up your unrealistic fantasies. Do you think barbarians are something you can conquer?
If you can't reach Silver Intermediate this year, I will personally send you to the City Lord's Silver Knights for training!"
Enli shook his head with a complicated expression. "Father, I want to go to the Silver Knights tomorrow."
The elegant and noble girl and Marquis Deer were both stunned.
They looked at Enli with expressions of astonishment.
"What did you say?!"
Seeing their ghost-like expressions, a hint of determination appeared on Enli's face.
"Father, Sister, perhaps you were right before. I truly need to make an effort.
The Deer family should not decline under my watch!!"
The two exchanged glances, their expressions growing even more surprised.
The elegant and noble girl was the first to recover, her eyes sharply fixed on him.
"Enli, who did you meet at the slave market? Did those guys from the Gold Knights come out??"
Only those terrifyingly powerful individuals who joined the Gold Knights could have stimulated Enli this much.
Enli shook his head, looking at them with a hint of fervor in his voice that even he hadn't noticed.
"Father, the barbarians were defeated by an outsider Noble!!"
Marquis Deer raised an eyebrow, displeased.
"Gold Grade barbarians are powerful, but they haven't activated their Bloodline Power yet. Is it strange that they were defeated?
Is this something worth making a fuss about?"
Enli was silent for a moment, then slowly said.
"What if that person was only Silver Beginner?"
"What?!"
"This is impossible?!!"
Marquis Deer and his eldest daughter Elivise instantly lost their composure.
How powerful were the Highland Barbarians who grew up in harsh environments?
Under the same level, two Gold Warriors who haven't awakened their Bloodline Power would need at least two people to fight against one, and three to defeat him.
How could a Silver Grade Human defeat a barbarian chieftain?!!
Marquis Deer quickly reacted. Could the other party have used an extraordinary weapon above A-class??
Yes, it must be that. Barbarians fighting bare-handed cannot contend with noble descendants fully equipped. This makes sense.
But just as the two found an excuse for the barbarian chieftain's defeat, Enli's next words completely silenced them.
"Impossible?"
An undisguised adoration appeared on Enli's face.
"Father, Sister, what if that person defeated the barbarian chieftain bare-handed?"
"What if that person not only defeated him but did so with absolute overwhelming power, killing the barbarian chieftain in one move?"
"What if that person not only instantly killed the Gold Grade barbarian chieftain but also took down the entire barbarian tribe by himself?"
"What if that person is younger than me, at most eighteen years old?"
Marquis Deer's mind, which had weathered many storms, was now astonished by Enli's fervent tone.
With Silver power, instantly killing Gold, and even single-handedly taking down an entire tribe!
And all of this was done by a mere seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth!
Just imagining this scene made his heart tremble.
This was truly a dragon among men.
The eldest daughter Elivise, the pride of Marquis Deer, a genius who reached Gold Grade at the age of twenty-five, could not help but show surprise.
She had never imagined someone could defeat a Gold Grade barbarian chieftain with Silver Grade power!
And the other party was so young. She, who considered herself a genius, now felt inferior to him.
She instantly developed a strong curiosity about the person her brother praised so highly.
Who was this outstanding hero?
This scene was not just happening in Marquis Deer's manor. The Nobles who had experienced the slave market incident today were almost frantically spreading the news of a descendant of the Orchid Family defeating a Gold Barbarian with Silver Grade power.
In an instant, Loren, who had been silent, became the focus of countless Nobles in Decker City.
