It was the third elder—Bole Vincent.

‘He’s one of the elders from the Elder Council who has been the most hostile to me.’

‘He probably wishes that every time I leave the house I will be trampled to death by a magical beast.’

Even Shu Ke himself did not know why the third elder had such a strong sense of hatred towards him.

However, Shu Ke was aware that since it was the third elder who came, he must have come to pick on him. Even if Shu Ke did something for a justifiable reason, the elder would still blame him.

“Mr. Dordak1, I’m really sorry. This brat has talked nonsense. Not only he has broken into the treasury, he has also caused you trouble.”

Although the third elder despised Shu Ke, he was still very polite to Toulon. When he saw Toulon, he apologized very respectfully and conveniently blamed everything on Shu Ke.

Shu Ke rolled his eyes. ‘Even if you want to shift the blame, you don’t have to be this obvious, right?’

“This kid is actually quite sensible. I’ve also asked him some questions, he is indeed a member of the Vincent family. This matter should be considered as a mistake on my part.”

Toulon did not fall for the third elder’s tricks. He merely smiled and brushed the matter aside.

The third elder, who was about to continue speaking, was completely stunned.

‘This isn’t right!’

‘Shouldn’t you be very angry after hearing what I have said and say that you want to punish Shu Ke? Then I will have to reluctantly take action and teach Shu Ke a lesson?’

The third elder was still in a daze because Toulon did not go his way. But immediately after that, he turned his gaze to Shu Ke.

‘Since Toulon doesn’t intend to pursue the matter, then I’ll do it myself!’

The third elder immediately struck towards Shu Ke’s direction with the back of his palm while saying, “You injured Kuta. According to our clan rules, those involved in infighting among members within the family shall be punished!”

A pale green palm print that was the size of a huge rock hovered above Shu Ke.

Shu Ke felt immense pressure descend from the sky. His face instantly turned pale.

Shu Ke stared at the third elder with a fierce expression. He knew that this old fellow hated him, but he did not expect that he would actually want to kill him off!

He was currently only a mid-tier Dou Practitioner. What’s more, he wasn’t even a Dou Practitioner before today.

The third elder had surpassed the realm of a Grand Master; he was currently an elite Dou Spirit. If he struck Shu Ke with his palm, it would be the end for Shu Ke.

However, Shu Ke acted as if he did not see the third elder’s fierce attacks.

He just watched everything quietly, with a confident and fearless look on his face.

“Trying to act superior!” The third elder snorted in disdain.

‘In the past, the first elder said that we cannot kill you. But now, even the first elder no longer cares about you, let me end your misery!’

BANG!

Suddenly, an iron wall-like stone sword that was over ten meters long rose from the ground in front of Shu Ke.

The third elder’s attack hit the stone sword. A loud sound erupted, and dust particles danced in the air.

“Mr. Dordak, what is the meaning of this?!”

The dust dispersed, Shu Ke was still intact, and Toulon was standing on the stone sword. The third elder’s face darkened.

“This kid, I like him. I want to help him.”

Toulon smiled at the third elder, a smile full of kindness on a harmless face.

But for some reason, the sight of his expression made a chill run down the third elder’s spine.

The elder knew that he was no match for Toulon. If he really wanted to make a move against Shu Ke, Toulon definitely would stop him.

‘When did this kid become so close with Toulon?’

The third elder looked at Shu Ke, who was standing beside Toulon and staring at him with a playful expression. He felt that he could not suppress the anger in his heart.

However, he had no choice but to hold it in for the time being.

With Toulon around, he would definitely be unable to do anything to this kid.

After all, Toulon was someone whom even the first elder had to treat with courtesy. There were very few people in the Elder Council who could fight him in a one-on-one fight, and he was no exception.

“Hiss…”

The third elder took a deep breath and tried his best to suppress the chaotic emotions in his heart. Then, he shifted his gaze away from Shu Ke.

“Since Mr. Toulon has already said so, then I will respect his decision. I will not pursue this matter.”

The third elder gave Shu Ke a meaningful look; his eyes were filled with doubt and confusion. But above all, they were filled with a sense of urgency to get rid of Shu Ke quickly for good.

“Farewell!”

The third elder came quickly and left quickly, too.

After realizing that he could not do anything to Shu Ke, he immediately turned around and left.

“Kid, what did you do in the Vincent family? Bole wanted to take your life right from the very start.”

Toulon looked at Shu Ke with curiosity. Initially, he thought that Shu Ke only had some minor conflict with the Vincent family because of his parents’ disappearance.

But it seemed that things were not as simple as he had thought.

‘There must be a bigger secret!’

“I don’t know.”

Shu Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly. If he knew, things would not have turned out this way.

“Whatever you say. This matter has nothing to do with me anyway.”

Toulon waved his hand indifferently. It was not important to him whether Shu Ke told him or not.

This was just a mutually beneficial relationship, so it wouldn’t be good for him to ask too many questions.

“Toulon, could you send me to the Noir Forest?”

“You want to go there to gain experience?” Toulon immediately knew what Shu Ke was up to.

The Noir Forest was a large forest in the vicinity. It occupied a huge area and was almost the size of the entire Noir province.

Many animals lived in the forest; there were also powerful magical beasts. Rumors said that some people had even seen terrifying Tier-5 magic beasts in the depths of the Noir forest!

However, magical beasts also meant wealth. Their teeth, claws, eyes, fur, and even blood were all excellent materials for making items and gear.

Especially their magic nuclei, which were the most valuable.

Therefore, countless mercenaries, hunters, and explorers have been to the Noir forest in search of wealth.

Recently, many families in the Noir province would arrange for their descendants to go to the Noir forest to assess their skills and experience.

Therefore, Toulon immediately understood Shu Ke’s plan.

“I don’t have much time left. I must seize the time and get stronger.”

Shu Ke’s gaze was resolute as he nodded. In order to uncover the truth, he had to seize every opportunity to become stronger.

“A one-month agreement?”

Toulon nodded. The matter about Shu Ke had long spread throughout the entire Vincent family, so he had heard of it.

“Yes, I must become a Dou Master within a month. Only then I can stand out from the crowd!”

Shu Ke nodded his head grimly. Regardless of whether it was for the hidden truth of the Vincent family or for the humiliation he had suffered all these years, he had to win this time!

Moreover, it had to be a very grand victory!!

“You want to become a Dou Master within a month? Dream on, just don’t die in there.”

Toulon put up an inscrutable smile. He then raised his hand and dragged Shu Ke away as he walked out.
