Chapter 1548 1543: Might and Prestige
But now, someone dared to bully the Nopheler Family!Colin Nopheler and the old housekeeper came out.
Su Chen is now being welcomed into the castle's reception hall.
As an ancient Bloodline with a long heritage, this castle has existed for over a thousand years.
During these long years, even though nothing like antiques were added to the castle, everything here could still be called an antique.
Especially since Su Chen also discovered some vases and the like from the East in the living room.
These things are genuine pieces with some history, presumably imported goods from back then.
It must be said, the Bloodline knows how to enjoy; after Su Chen sat down, the servants in the castle had already prepared top-quality red tea for him.
Su Chen does have some taste in appreciation, after all, sometimes to perform certain undercover tasks, these special skills are somewhat necessary to know.
The techniques Su Chen learned may not reach the level of a master, but they are certainly at a professional level.
As Su Chen sipped the expensive high-end tea, he appraised the antiques placed in the living room; those few large vases, Su Chen could basically confirm they were genuine pieces from the Ming Dynasty.
These things would easily start at five hundred thousand in any auction outside.
Yet here there's a pair in perfect condition.
The value of this is far more than simply one plus one.
Just this pair of vases, if auctioned, would start at thirty million at the very least, yes, in US Dollars.
Liz stared at Su Chen's back, feeling indignant, while her eyes kept darting around.
She wished she could skin Su Chen alive as a lesson, but she simply isn't his match. Well then, wait until Brother Colin arrives and see how arrogant you can be!
...
"Liz? Liz!" Colin Nopheler started calling softly even before entering the reception hall.
Liz stood up with surprise and delight, looking toward the door: "Brother Colin, you're back, wuuu..."
Liz directly threw herself into Colin Nopheler's arms.
"My sister, tell me what happened. Who bullied you?" Colin Nopheler gently comforted Liz, assuring her that he would help her get justice.
"Brother Colin, it was that guy who bullied me, he… wuuu..." Liz was crying uncontrollably.
Although Su Chen did indeed hit Liz, it was in self-defense.
If it had been a girl making a move on him, he might have treated her a bit more gently.
But, this one was just a bat spirit, so why would Su Chen be polite?
He simply went for a hefty beating, which left Liz resenting and fearing him.
"Was it you who bullied my sister?" Colin Nopheler said in a cold voice.
Su Chen then leisurely turned his head: "You're her brother? But can you back up your words?"
Su Chen looked at Colin Nopheler with interest.
Colin now dressed in typical European aristocratic attire.
With a youthful appearance in his twenties, he could be considered quite handsome, not to mention the intangible noble aura he exuded.
If he were to become a celebrity, he might actually win over a crowd of fans.
But who would know that beneath this youthful facade was actually a vampire over two hundred years old?
Well, this age is indeed considered young for a Bloodline.
Even at a certain level, a Bloodline at five hundred years old can't truly be considered old.
Colin's presence was quite impressive. But it didn't faze Su Chen at all.
Colin, a third-level Marquis, might be a genius among the Bloodline.
But Su Chen, at just over twenty years old, was already a Martial Artist of the Saint Realm, and even at the Middle Rank.
Comparable to a second-level Marquis, even if compared only to Colin, in terms of cultivation realm and abilities, Su Chen was even more outstanding.
The high-rank Bloodline aura Colin emitted was only effective against low-rank Bloodlines.
But since Su Chen was human, his aura had no effect on Su Chen, and even Su Chen's aura was a notch stronger.
The Saint aura unleashed by a Middle Rank Martial Artist should not be underestimated.
"Huh…" Realizing that Su Chen was completely unaffected by his aura, he was somewhat puzzled.
Although his aura was only effective against low-rank Bloodlines, even humans before him would kneel in fear under the pressure of such a powerhouse's presence.
But Su Chen could calmly withstand his aura, making him realize Su Chen was out of the ordinary.
However, soon enough, he even began to doubt his thoughts; it was far from merely being unaffected.
When Su Chen released his saintly aura, even Colin couldn't help but change his expression.
This damn…
The saintly aura doesn't affect merely one specific type of people.
Once released by a Saint Realm Martial Artist, the aura was terrifyingly powerful.
The entire reception hall seemed to be enveloped under Su Chen's overwhelming aura.
Although Su Chen's cultivation realm was only at the Saint Middle Rank, the aura he released was powerful, rivaling that of a half-step Human King powerhouse.
Colin's gaze toward Su Chen now carried a hint of change.
He now at least regarded Su Chen as someone of his own tier.
"It's truly surprising for a human to possess an aura like that of a Marquis." After Su Chen withdrew his aura, Colin fell silent for a moment before saying this.
"Are you her brother? Having power comparable to a Saint Realm Martial Artist surprises me a bit too."
From Liz's words, Su Chen learned that for Bloodlines to strengthen themselves, apart from the passing of time, acquiring other required resources is very challenging.
While there are secret techniques in every family that can somewhat enhance the members, they aren't easily used.
The side effects are just too severe, likely to ruin a potentially powerful Bloodline.
And Colin's progression exceeded the usual range of Bloodline power advancement.
"Though you're not weak, this is our Nopheler Family's territory. Aren't you afraid of death by coming here?" Colin stared at Su Chen with a cold eye.
Su Chen chuckled, "What if this is your Nopheler Family's territory? If I dared to come, I'm not afraid of you; if I want to leave, can you even stop me?"
"Arrogant! It seems you don't understand the power of a great Bloodline!" Colin said proudly.
Although Su Chen's aura was potent, it wasn't enough to instill fear in Colin.
At best, they were on par.
But the physique and abilities of a Bloodline aren't comparable to humans. If they were to really fight, Colin wouldn't feel intimidated!
