Chapter 225: I Caught A Little Rat
“Mayor Lubin, now that you have examined my hands, it is time for you to examine my body; since it is inconvenient for you, I will remove my clothes.”
Watson removed his black robe and tossed it to the ground. “That is the armor from a gold-tier ancient knight that I made a long time ago. It is quite comfortable, so I have not changed it, but that armor is no longer useful to me,” he said.
Watson was left with only his underwear after stripping naked. His bare muscles were well defined. Obviously, he could not keep anything hidden.
“I have already pulled out everything on me; Mayor Lubin, do you still want to continue searching?”
Lubin raised his head with difficulty and gritted his teeth in response to the query. “Just because you did not steal anything does not mean that other people did not steal something.”
“You mean that Lord Sylvan or my brothers have stolen something from you?” Watson’s expression turned cold. Apart from his three brothers, who had recently returned home, he was only accompanied by Sylvan and Antonio.
Even though he was annoyed that Lubin suspected him of stealing, he understood the man’s concern. However, if Lubin dared to point the finger at his family, then he would be embarrassed.
“Brat, I did not say that. Don’t make things up! How could Lord Sylvan steal my things? But I can’t say for sure about your brothers. And that person beside you, why didn’t you introduce him? Is he the thief?”
Lubin threw the rings in his hand onto the ground with difficulty. He stood up angrily and pointed at Antonio.
He was terrified of Watson.
There were only a limited number of platinum-tier objects throughout the entire world. Watson must have lied; how could a small border force like Blackmoon Castle gather all the platinum-tier items in the kingdom? Perhaps Watson purposefully set up ten weighty gold-tier objects to falsely claim as platinum-tier to conceal the fact that they were stealing.
As for Antonio, he had not met him. That handsome young man gave him a sense of déjà vu. The man had accompanied Lord Sylvan, so he did not say much. However, he was suspicious of Antonio when he saw Watson only defended his brothers.
“Idiot, do you not understand the situation?” Sylvan, who had been watching coldly from the side, finally spoke coldly.
“Did you hear that, you fool? Why aren’t you handing over the things you stole? If you still don’t understand the situation, It will be too late when Lord Sylvan makes his move!” Lubin shouted at Antonio.
He thought that Sylvan had understood his thoughts and realized that Antonio was the thief. That was probably why he said that.
He was surprised when Sylvan snapped his fingers at him with a gloomy look as soon as he finished speaking. Brilliant magical energy exploded in his chest with a bang; it sent him flying several meters away. He collapsed to the ground in a heap, and his clothes were scorched.
“The idiot I’m talking about is you, Lubin. Don’t you know this person beside me?”
“Who?”
Lubin struggled to get up. His carefully groomed hair had become messy, and his fat body was exposed under his charred clothes. His expression was one of pain, and his eyes were filled with confusion.
He believed that the only individuals who could stand with Sylvan were his attendants or Blackmoon Castle servants. He thought the latter was more plausible. After all, Sylvan required someone to serve him when he was at the Blackmoon Castle, and the man beside him did not say anything from the start. He wore a kind smile on his face as if he were a servant.
“This is my master, Antonio, and he is also known as the astrologer. Now, do you know who he is? You lied to me about paying taxes with something that I didn’t even know existed. Then, you framed Blackmoon Castle and even slandered my master in front of me. Do you know your crimes now?”
Sylvan’s voice was cold; it was as if he was sentencing Lubin to death. Every word he said made Lubin tremble.
‘Impossible! How is that possible?’ Lubin shouted in his heart. He knew the astrologer’s appearance. As the greatest mage in the kingdom, there was an image of that mage everywhere. There was even an oil painting hanging in Torch Town’s city hall, which he had bought at a high price.
He thought it was impossible, but Lubin knew there was no need for Sylvan to lie to him. After closely inspecting Antonio’s face, he discovered that the man in front of him was quite handsome except for the fact that there were no wrinkles on his face; it was actually 70% similar to the oil painting he had in the city hall.
‘Is this man really Lord Sylvan’s master?”
Lubin was still in deep thoughts when he heard Sylvan throw out another bomb. “As for the young boy that you had identified as the thief, well, he is my child. Do you still want to conduct a body search now?”
The border count’s son?
Lubin felt as if the world had fallen into darkness.
Goodness! What had he done?
First, he had slandered the border count’s master, and then he had forced the border count’s son to take off his clothes. He even wanted to curry favor with the other party. However, it seemed like he had offended the other party.
He glanced at Watson. That was the first time he had looked at that boy since he had entered the castle. He realized that Watson was young, but he had the bearing of a superior. He was also very handsome, and he looked similar to Sylvan; perhaps they were really related by blood.
That discovery made him panic.
“Lord Sylvan, I’m not your son! Strictly speaking, I’m your junior brother. Don’t take advantage of me. If you continue like that, I won’t give you the diamond-tier magical staff that I had promised you before.” He was still dizzy when he heard Watson’s disgruntled explanation. Those words did not make him happy. Instead, it made him even more desperate.
If Watson were really Sylvan’s child, then he could ask Sylvan for forgiveness, and the matter would be resolved. No matter how mischievous the child was, he would still listen to his father, but Watson was not Sylvan’s child.
After he heard Watson’s words, he got even more desperate when Sylvan changed his tune. “Watson, didn’t we agree you would be my son, and I would be your protector? Well, since you don’t like it, then forget about it. I’m not taking advantage of you. You can’t refuse to give me the diamond-tier staff; you have to be reasonable...”
Clang!
With a muffled sound, Lubin fell to the ground; he had fainted.
He could not take it anymore. Sylvan was not Watson’s father. Instead, Watson acted like he was Sylvan’s father. What had he done?
Lubin had fainted. None of the guards who came with him dared to help him. Even Gerant and Andre, who stood at the side, had conflicted expressions on their faces, especially Gerant. He knew that Blackmoon Castle was powerful, but he did not expect them to be so big. Even Sylvan, the border count, had to be polite in front of Watson. He was even reprimanded for making a joke.
“The mayor has fainted. Take him to the castle and arrange the best room for him to rest.”
Watson saw Lubin lying on the ground; his expression was calm. He snapped his fingers, and the Wish for the World ring on the ground immediately returned to his hand. Then he put on the armor of the ancient knights.
After he put on his clothes, Watson looked around. At that time, the people from the surrounding towns no longer dared to treat him as an ordinary child. They all held their breath and focused on what he would say.
“I’m a person who can distinguish between rewards and punishments. Just now, I proved that we didn’t steal Mayor Lubin’s things, and he was punished for that. However, he did lose something in Blackmoon Castle, and I must help our guests to solve their problems.”
Watson’s voice traveled far with his combat aura. At the same time, he extended a finger and pointed at the sky. “So, I will find the person who stole the item and give everyone an explanation.”
Boom!
The entire Blackmoon Town trembled with the loud sound. The towering ancient trees and diamond trees planted near the walls rose into the sky amidst the tremors. Their sizes shrank before they gradually turned into the platinum-tier Shadow of the World Tree and the diamond-tier magical staff.
Hundreds of platinum-tier diamond tools rose into the air; everyone else looked up with widened eyes and expressions of disbelief.
Hundreds of top-tier tools revolved around Watson rapidly as they formed a storm. The dazzling light covered the sun in the sky, and a small black rat was thrown off during that process. It fell to the ground.
“Found it! The little thieving rat.”
Staring at the familiar-looking mouse that had just landed, Watson’s lips curled up, revealing a playful smile on his young face.
Watson’s lips curled up; there was a joyful smile on his youthful face as he stared at the familiar-looking rat that had just landed.
