Cesar's Request
Who is the most dazzling genius on the Yulan Continent?
Gilmer and Lampson, standing next to Linley, stared in astonishment at the handsome young man before them. Their Radiant Church had been annihilated by this man in the blink of an eye; even the Pope had to defer to him.
Dead silence. This person was actually Luo Feng, a legendary powerhouse on the continent. He had been in the business for ten years, taking on all the powerful figures on the continent. Even the Radiant Church had to show him respect. Now, he was actually appearing at the auction of Master Linley's works.
Naturally, there were also nobles from the Philipzi Warrior Academy here. Upon seeing their academy's legendary figure, they all stared wide-eyed at their esteemed senior. At this moment, with just a few words, he stood in the crowd like a radiant beacon, dazzlingly bright.
Cesar, standing to the side, expressed her dissatisfaction, saying, "Hey Luo Feng, that's not very kind of you. I need Lord Linley's help right now, what are you doing barging in like that? That's really inconsiderate of you."
Luo Feng smiled at Linley without saying a word, then returned to Cesar's side. Looking at the guy, he felt a sense of helplessness. Only this guy was to his liking, so Cesar and Luo Feng had the closest relationship. People like Desri and Fain naturally didn't have the same close relationship as Luo Feng and Cesar.
Seeing that everyone's attention seemed to be focused on Luo Feng, while Linley was still in a state of surprise, Cesar felt helpless. He had originally wanted Linley to carve a stone sculpture for him, but now it seemed he had to postpone it. He then said, "Never mind, Master Linley, it seems it won't work today. I'll pay you a visit in person later." He then dragged Luo Feng away in a streak of light, leaving the hall in Lightning.
Linley was surprised and thought, "The legendary Lord Luo Feng actually said that he has good magical talent and seems to think highly of himself. But that doesn't make sense. Lord Luo Feng Feng's magical talent was even more amazing than mine back then. He had super-level affinity for two elements and super-level mental strength. If Lord Luo Feng had cultivated magic, he would have been a magical genius. It's a pity that he gave up magic and chose to be a warrior."
At this moment, Doehring Cowart transmitted his voice to Linley, saying, "What terrifying soul power! No wonder you're Deity level expert. With just that one glance, I knew that Lord Luo Feng had discovered me. Linley, I must say, your era is an era of geniuses, especially Lord Luo Feng. He cultivated to the level of Deity level expert in just a short hundred years. It's truly terrifying."
Linley nodded in deep agreement, but the determination in his eyes remained unchanged. "One day, I will also reach the strength of Lord Luo Feng, Grandpa Doehring."
Dressed in a white robe, Doehring Cowart smiled and stroked his beard, saying, "I believe in you. As long as you have a goal, strive towards it."
Luo Feng helplessly shook off Cesar's hand. "Hey, Cesar, are you kidding me? What's wrong with you? You're acting like a madman. Didn't you want Linley to carve a stone sculpture for you?"
Cesar glanced at him irritably. "Isn't this all your fault, you beast? I was just explaining things clearly, why did you have to come in and interrupt? You made everyone in the hall focus on you, even Master Linley was surprised. What was I supposed to say then? I guess I'll just have to go see Master Linley next time?"
Seeing Cesar's sullen expression, Luo Feng shook his head, too lazy to pay him any attention, and then asked, "What are you planning to do now? It's been a while since I've been out. I'm going to see some old friends. What about you?"
Cesar replied shamelessly, "I don't know. I have no other pursuits besides beautiful women and stone carvings. It's not uncommon for a stone carving master to emerge, so of course I'm going to find him."
"Then go find him. I'm planning to go to the Misty Villa after seeing my old friend. Let's part ways here," Luo Feng said with a faint smile.
Cesar was taken aback. "You're just going to leave? What else can you do besides wash your face all day? You're already a Deity level powerhouse. You should live like me, enjoying life when you should. Otherwise, it's too tiring."
Too lazy to pay attention to Cesar, Luo Feng flew directly towards Chiyan City of the O'Brien Empire, intending to find his old friend Sasi. Cesar, without saying a word, immediately followed behind Luo Feng.
As time passed, Luo Feng took Cesar to visit some friends, such as Luo Feng's close friend Sasi, as well as Mackenzie, Desri, Fain, whom Luo Feng had extorted, and Rosalie, the family of his sister-in-law. However, Cesar refused to go no matter what Luo Feng teased him about. He just wouldn't go, so Luo Feng eventually gave in.
As in the original story, Linley returned to his hometown of Wushan Town and, after learning of his father's death, became a marquis in the Fenlai Kingdom. Cesar originally wanted to find Linley as soon as possible to have him make a sculpture for her, but due to some events that happened to Linley, she didn't bother Linley. Now that Linley's investiture was over, Cesar dragged Luo Feng along to Linley's mansion.
Looking at Linley's admiring yet determined expression, Luo Feng smiled calmly. After all, Linley was still just a hot-blooded young man, far from the transformation he had undergone after Doehring Cowart's death. He was still just a genius who hadn't experienced any real trials. He said calmly, "Linley, don't worry about me. I was dragged here by Cesar. He needs your help."
"Master Linley, I've come here today because I have a favor to ask of you," Cesar then stepped forward and looked at Linley, speaking sincerely.
Linley immediately replied, "Mr. Cesar, please tell me. I will help you with anything I can."
Cesar, however, put on a stern face and said, "Master Linley, I, Cesar, never like to owe people favors. If I ask you to do something, I will naturally do something for you in return."
Linley was secretly delighted.
A favor from a powerful assassin who was Saint Domain expert over five thousand years ago is priceless. At that moment, a thought flashed through Linley's mind: Clayde!
During this time, Linley was constantly troubled about how to kill Clayde, or rather, how to capture Clayde and torture him. Linley needed to know his mother's whereabouts. However, Clayde was far superior to Linley in both strength and manpower. He was at a loss.
But now Linley has a solution.
"If I ask this Cesar to kidnap Clayde, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?" Linley couldn't help but feel excited; the problem that had troubled him for so long seemed to be solved.
"Mr. Cesar, please speak," Linley said solemnly.
Cesar then said generously, "Alright, I'll go first."
Cesar stroked his mustache, as if chatting with a close friend. "I don't have many hobbies. Women are one, and killing used to be one of them too. But after I grew tired of killing, I fell in love with art, and naturally, I'm most obsessed with the noblest of art forms: 'stone sculpture.' Master Linley... I was very disappointed that I didn't manage to buy your ' Dream Awakening ' stone sculpture at the last auction. I couldn't sleep well afterward. After thinking it over, I decided to visit you in person."
"Mr. Cesar, what do you mean?" Linley frowned.
The stone sculpture ' Dream Awakening ' has already been auctioned off; it was purchased by Delia.
"I would like to ask Master Linley to carve a stone sculpture for me." Cesar looked at Linley expectantly.
Cesar chuckled, "Master Linley, I'm thinking, could your stone sculptures be modeled after me, capturing my unique spirit?"
Luo Feng curled his lip, thinking, "This guy's showing off again. "Luo Feng Luo Feng felt a kind of helpless frustration, and watched Cesar's change in demeanor with a calm gaze.
Cesar's original aura completely changed, becoming indifferent. In the blink of an eye, Cesar's previously languid demeanor completely transformed; he became devoid of any aura, imposing presence, or expression.
Indifferent, bland.
Luo Feng looked at Cesar with great interest. It was rare to see this guy so serious. He had to admit, this guy had the looks to attract women. No wonder he was able to handle Rosalie.
