Chapter 151 The Lotto Family
"Are you sure the current head of the Loto family lives here?"
Looking at the house, which was by no means luxurious, Lin Tian felt a deep sense of deception. He immediately turned around, only to find that the person who had led the way had been grabbed by the neck and lifted up by the white-robed scholar.
As long as Lin Tian gives the order, the white-robed scholar will immediately teach him a lesson.
"Really... sir! ...I...I wouldn't dare...lie you..."
The guide, whose throat was being held by the white-robed scholar, spoke haltingly, as if he were about to die at any moment.
Really?
Lin Tian looked at the dilapidated building with some oddity, still finding it hard to believe that a noble patriarch would live in such a place.
Is there some mistake...?
Although he didn't quite believe it, Lin Tian still went in, mainly because the guy's expression didn't seem fake.
The scene inside the door wasn't as dilapidated as the outside. The things weren't very old, and it looked quite spacious, but there was a bit too little furniture, making it seem somewhat empty.
Lin Tian originally intended to take advantage of the chaos of war to steal the family heirloom, but he did not expect the Loto family to be so fallen that he no longer had the intention of lying in wait and decided to just go in and rob it directly.
But when they entered, they didn't find a single person. Just as Lin Tian was wondering if the people on the other side had run away for their lives, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from the stairs.
"Who dares to trespass on the territory of the Loto family!"
"Leave now, and you can still save your life!"
An elderly but powerful voice rang out. Lin Tian looked towards the stairs and saw an elderly man with a long sword hanging from his waist coming down from there.
He stared at Lin Tian with hostility. Although he was old, he still had a strong presence. One of his hands was on the hilt of his sword, as if he would kill Lin Tian if he did not obey and leave.
Faced with the elderly swordsman's attempt to drive him away, Lin Tian did not speak, nor did he leave. He simply stood there, watching the elderly swordsman.
In a daze, the elderly swordsman seemed to see a golden light flash in Lin Tian's eyes, and then his attitude towards him changed from wary to relaxed.
Was I being underestimated?
The elderly swordsman was immediately annoyed. Although he was not very strong, he was still a peak Bronze-level superhuman. If the other party continued to provoke him like this, the elderly swordsman would have no choice but to teach him a lesson.
"Hold on......"
Just as the elderly swordsman was about to drive away the intruder, an old voice came from upstairs.
Upon hearing this, the elderly swordsman quickly turned around and looked over, then cried out in worry:
"Master!"
Why did you come down?
The man addressed as "Young Master" by the elderly swordsman was also an old man, but compared to the elderly swordsman, the years had left more marks on him. He leaned on a cane and walked slowly, hesitating for several seconds before each step.
The man addressed as "Young Master" did not answer the elderly swordsman; the first thing he did upon descending was to look at Lin Tian.
"He's a new face."
"If you're here to rob someone, then I'm sorry, you've probably come to the wrong place."
"The camel family has declined, and I have nothing of value left. If you like these pieces of furniture, you can take some with you. I am old now and have no use for these things."
“If you’re looking to escape the war, you can sit in the living room. With Lonese here, the soldiers won’t do anything to you.”
Unlike the elderly swordsman, the man who suddenly appeared was not aggressive. Instead, he faced the two intruders with a calm gaze and tone.
"Young Master, this..."
The elderly swordsman named Lonese was about to speak when the old man raised his hand to stop him, indicating that the old man was the one in charge here.
"I'm not here to rob you."
"We didn't come here to seek refuge."
"I'm here to do only one thing."
"The Loto family heirloom..."
"Give me."
Based on the conversation just now, Lin Tian felt that this old man should be the current patriarch of the Loto family, and that the family might even consist of only two people now.
Seeing this, Lin Tian was too lazy to hide anything anymore and simply asked the old man where the family heirloom was, so as to avoid having to search for it himself. If the other party listened, Lin Tian would have a lot less trouble.
"impossible!"
"You bastard! I don't know where you got this information, but even if I had it, there's absolutely no way I'd give it to you!"
Before the old man could speak, Lonese refused, his anger evident in the bulging veins on his forehead.
However, this time the old man did not stop Lonese's behavior, which clearly indicated his refusal as well.
"Please change your terms, sir."
“My family heirloom has been lost, and even I don’t know where it is.”
"Don't lie to me, I know it's with you."
"Instead of wasting time on empty talk, we should just go and get it now. The sooner we get it, the sooner we'll be done with it."
"Isn't it?"
Hearing Lin Tian's words, Lonese finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"You are really too arrogant! The young master was kind to you, but you still dare to speak so arrogantly. I really need to teach you a lesson!"
After saying that, Lonese drew his longsword and charged at the arrogant Lin Tian without hesitation.
"Sigh~ I knew it."
Before Lin Tian could even make a move, a white figure flashed past him.
boom!
Lonese felt a blur before his eyes, as if someone had flashed in front of him, and then he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Boom!
Without any hesitation, the white-robed scholar rushed out from behind Lin Tian and slammed Lonese against the wall with a single punch, ending the battle in one strike.
Boom!
Lonese slid off the wall, his sword clattering to the ground.
This exchange was a complete loss of face for Lonese, but he had no time to worry about such things.
"Cough cough!"
"Young Master...quick...run!"
Lonese forced himself to fight. From that exchange, he knew how terrifying the two men in front of him were; they were not people he could defeat.
Driven by his desire to protect his master, he immediately shouted for his young master to run away, but he himself had no intention of running away. He only hoped that he could buy his young master some time to escape.
Even if it's just for a second... this is his last belief.
As Lonese got up from the ground, the white-robed scholar turned to look at Lin Tian, seemingly asking whether he should kill him.
But before Lin Tian could answer, a sigh suddenly came from the stairs.
"Ah~"
"That's all."
