Chapter 1572 1567: Noble Ladies
But reality was laid out right in front of them, irrefutable.From the moment Su Chen entered the Nopheler Family to the moment he left, it only took a single night, yet he still made one of the glorious and noble Thirteen Clans— the Nopheler Family—lose all face.
Even a Bloodline Duke who had never fallen during the thousand-year holy war almost died at his hands.
"Where the hell did this guy crawl out from?" Duke Karloki roared after a long, heavy silence.
Today he'd really had to swallow too much humiliation; he'd almost been killed by a "weak" human.
Even if he was incredibly unwilling to admit it in his heart.
He could still smell a stench of death coming from Su Chen.
Even if he went all out and used every trump card he had, there was a good chance he would still suffer a miserable defeat at Su Chen's hands.
And it was precisely this instinct for self-preservation, coming from the depths of his life itself, that had spared him from dying in the Middle Ages thousand-year war.
Although in the end he had been seriously injured as well, compared to those Bloodline Dukes who had fallen, he was already far too lucky.
But the moment he came out of seclusion, he ran into a human youth capable of completely thrashing him; how was he supposed to vent that pent-up fury in his chest?
That roar of his, however, scared Liz Nopheler stiff.
She looked timidly at Duke Karloki. "I-I was the one who brought him back…"
...
Su Chen had gained quite a lot from the Nopheler Family, but the existence of the Bloodline was still just as mysterious and unknown to him.
Crossing blows with Duke Karloki, Su Chen clearly felt that the other party was still very weak, his strength not yet fully restored to Peak.
But even so, Duke Karloki was definitely not someone a mere Saint could deal with.
If not for the Xuan Sword being strong enough to directly shatter the "Silver Cage," Su Chen might not have been able to easily escape Karloki's restraint.
He had to keep in mind that the Silver Cage also had a sealing effect.
Whether it was the Magic Power of dark creatures or the Holy Power of those hypocritical scum from the Bright Church, all of it would be rendered useless in front of the "Silver Cage."
A Duke of the Nopheler Family who possessed the "Silver Cage" couldn't be called invincible, but in a one-on-one situation—
As long as he could strike first and fully construct the "Silver Cage," that "Silver Cage" could suppress most Human King Level Bloodline powerhouses or experts from the Holy See.
This was the tyrannical nature of Forbidden Magic.
But who the hell could have known that Su Chen, a human youth who looked only equivalent to the Marquis realm, actually possessed strength on par with a Duke.
Karloki even had a strange illusion that even at the very Peak of his life, he might still not be Su Chen's match!
That intuition came from the deepest instinctual perception of his life, and that same intuition had already saved his life twice.
So this time, facing Su Chen, he didn't hesitate at all and chose to trust that feeling.
He did not use his final trump card at the last moment to try and fight Su Chen to the death.
Because of that feeling, he believed that even if he went all out against Su Chen, he still might not make it out alive.
In that case, he might as well just outright admit defeat; Su Chen wasn't some lapdog of the Bright Church anyway, so bowing his head to Su Chen wasn't a big deal.
It wasn't like he'd actively begged Su Chen for mercy, after all…
Whatever happened in the Nopheler Family after that had nothing to do with Su Chen.
Once he obtained information about the Werewolf Clan and the Fraser and other families, he headed straight out of the Nopheler Family's Castle.
For now, he'd settle the matter of Jesse Fraser first.
After getting a full ten billion US Dollar from the Nopheler Family, Su Chen's problem of lacking funds had been completely resolved.
And with the powerful foundation and intelligence support of the Nopheler Family, Su Chen had become much more relaxed and at ease.
However, in the meantime, both Su Chen and the people of the Nopheler Family seemed to have forgotten one thing.
Back then, Harlow Nopheler had originally wanted to trade for Su Chen's blood.
After Su Chen defeated Duke Karloki, no one brought it up again.
Because their statuses were no longer equal. Su Chen had defeated the newly awakened Karloki, which meant he had defeated the strongest person in the Nopheler Family at this time.
Unless the Nopheler Family was willing to awaken an even more powerful Bloodline member.
Otherwise, they could only lower their heads in front of Su Chen.
In truth, Harlow Nopheler was willing to step out and yield because there was no irreconcilable hatred between Su Chen and the Nopheler Family.
The Nopheler Family had no reason to form a blood feud with Su Chen.
Although they had paid no small price for this.
Compared to a Duke powerhouse, however, that price was still worth it.
...
By the time Su Chen returned from the Nopheler Family, the sky was already beginning to lighten.
London City was gradually growing bustling and busy, but in London City, you could feel the weight of its history and the "elegance" of a mature nobility.
As Jesse Fraser's honored guest—his life-saving trump card—Su Chen naturally received the most meticulous of hospitality.
Jesse Fraser had prepared a luxurious presidential suite for Su Chen.
Inside there wasn't just a Housekeeper, but also two maid-servants who would come at his beck and call.
Judging by looks and figures alone, they could absolutely qualify as goddesses in the hearts of losers.
In reality, these two girls were anything but simple.
They were students at the Imperial College of London, and that was actually the least eye-catching part of their otherwise glamorous resumes.
In fact, they also came from noble families in England.
Of course, quite a few nobles in England were nobility by inheritance, so even with a noble title, they might well be fallen nobles.
Putting it nicely, these two girls were noble ladies, but if you really wanted to be strict about it—
They might not even compare to the daughters of some rich merchants.
Jesse Fraser had really gone all out to track down two noble ladies to be servants for Su Chen.
Even if they were from fallen noble families, they were still ladies, after all.
Judging by their looks, temperament, and bearing, even among all the women Su Chen had met, these two could definitely be considered first-rate beauties.
When these two noble girls accepted this job, they had long since been given a few reminders.
They were not allowed to refuse any request from that guest.
If someone had said that to them at any other time, they would probably have turned around and left without even a backward glance.
But now, the two of them were standing here together.
The reason was simple: Jesse Fraser's people had offered them a price they couldn't refuse.
They say a phoenix that's fallen to the ground isn't as good as a chicken. Nobles are nobles, but fallen nobles have no choice but to bow their heads to money.
When the two of them first received the notice that they were to attend on this honored guest, they were incredibly nervous. What if he was some gross old man, then…
But in reality, the two of them waited the entire night; their two eyelids were almost fighting each other, and still that honored guest never appeared.
