Chapter 686: Father and Son Fight

Chapter 686: Father and Son Fight

In Black Flame City, there is a wide main road that starts from the city gate and leads straight to the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

A long team walked slowly on the main road, led by the Duke of Virginia of the kingdom. The old duke rode on the back of a black-scaled horse. His face was as gloomy as water, and his old but sharp eyes were fixed on the end of the road.

At this time, the Duke of Virginia looked like an old general in armor heading to the battlefield.

Behind and around the old duke, the other people in the team were also silent. Even Wilder, who had been cheerful before, had a tense face, for he was afraid that he would not be able to help laughing.

As the group continued to go deeper into the city, the air pressure around them seemed to become much lower.

Soon, the group arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. For some reason, there were no guards at the gate and the gate was just casually open.

"Is Savami in there?" the old duke asked in a deep voice.

"Well, brother Savami said he's waiting for you to see him inside." Wilder replied quickly. He knew his father and this was a sign of impending anger.

"Everyone wait here. I'll go see Savami."

The old duke gave instructions and then walked straight inside, leaving the team waiting at the gate.

Looking at the quickly disappearing back, Wilder showed a faint smile at the corners of his mouth and eyes. Now, that idiot Savami was in big trouble. He hoped that his father would not demolish the City Lord's Mansion that he was about to get in his hands in his anger.

On the other side, deep inside the City Lord’s Mansion.

"You are here."

Savami sat upright on the main seat in the hall until the old prince came in, then he slowly stood up and greeted him casually.

"Sawami, my eldest son, what do you want to do?" the old duke said word by word.

"I don't want to do anything," replied Savami.

"What don't you want to do? Then why didn't you come back for so many years? Why did you repeatedly ignore the family's orders? Why did you murder the people sent by the family? Why did you imprison your brother? Why were you so rude today? Answer me!"

The old duke asked back, his tone becoming more and more severe and his eyes becoming more and more sharp.

"Since you want me to answer, I will give you an answer. The reason is very simple. I have no intention of returning to the Virginia family to fight for anything. Whether you are willing to give everything in the family to the third or the second, I will not interfere. However, Black Flame City belongs to me, Sawami, and has nothing to do with Virginia. I hope you don't worry about it."

Savami thought about it and said seriously.

"What a big tone." The old duke almost laughed at this. "How dare you say that you didn't borrow Virginia's name and resources? Do you think you can achieve such great success without Virginia's protection?"

"It seems that you must incorporate everything here into Virginia."

“This is Virginia.”

Savami looked at the resolute old duke in front of him and slowly closed his eyes: "Well, I accept it."

The old duke then said in a cold voice: "You are sensible, but these cannot offset the mistakes you made."

Hearing this, Savami made up his mind. He opened his eyes, and his gaze became sharp as well. “Please listen to me. I hope that after you return this time, you will pass on the title of Duke to me, and I will live out my days in peace.”

"Hehehe."

The old duke couldn't help laughing, and his laughter was full of sinisterness.

The next moment, a surge of energy spread out from Savami and directly affected the old duke, causing the smile on his face to freeze and his old eyes to burst into moving shock.

He actually felt tremendous pressure from his eldest son.

So that's how it is. Savami's strength has quietly reached the holy realm, not inferior to himself. No wonder he speaks so confidently. Indeed, the second and third brothers are not as good as Savami.

For the old duke, joy followed.

But when he met Savami's cold eyes, the old duke's passionate heart seemed to be poured with a basin of ice water. He realized one thing: the son in front of him looked so strange, so strange that the two of them did not look like a father and son.

"Is this what you rely on? Savami! You underestimate Virginia and this Duke." The old Duke soon felt a surge of anger in his heart.

"We'll know after the competition. If you lose, please hand over the title of Duke to me. Virginia will be under my control from now on." Savami said heavily. As he spoke, the Hundred Transformations Armor flew over and was put on him by itself.

He didn't want to argue too much and was ready to speak with strength.

Since these people have provoked me again and again, I must be prepared to pay the price, and this price is the entire Virginia family.

"Insanity!"

The old duke stared at the armor on his body with a serious expression. It looked like a precious armor of unknown depth, and the combat effectiveness of the Iron Knight was greatly related to the iron armor.

But the old duke did not refuse this invitation.

Afterwards, the father and son came to a large parade ground in the City Lord's Mansion.

The so-called holy realm of the Burning Iron Plane is actually the "Lord Level" recognized by all realms of the galaxy. The Lord's core comprehended by the Iron Knight is the "Sacred Heart of Iron".

The Iron Heart combined with the Iron Armor can make the Holy Iron Knight invincible.

At this moment, there was no one else on the training ground except the father and son. The steel armor on their bodies changed with a series of crackling sounds, and two steel giants appeared there.

On the left is a giant rhinoceros with a rhinoceros head and a human body. He is eight meters eighty centimeters tall and holds a spear in his hand.

On the right is a Savage Tiger Giant, with a tiger head and a human body, also eight meters eighty centimeters tall, holding a heavy hammer in each hand.

The one on the left is clearly the Duke of Virginia, and the one on the right is Savami. The two of them gave each other room and did not change to the most majestic fighting posture.

"Sawami, it's not too late for you to stop now. As long as you promise to return to the family, this Duke can be more generous and not pursue your crime."

"Father, your vision is like that of a cold frog under the iron ore ridge, so low that you only see Virginia."

"Okay, okay, take my shot!"

The old Duke took his son's ability into consideration. When the time came, he did not want to create any more rift between them and wanted to give both of them a way out. However, when he heard the extremely arrogant words from the other side, his heart was suddenly hurt.

The battle began.

Little did he know that Savami was telling the truth.

After the careful instruction of the all-knowing God, Savami's horizons were no longer limited to the Burning Iron Plane, let alone a small ducal family.

Under the guidance of the God, he also deeply realized the shortcomings of the Iron Knight, and his own practice had long since broken away from the original cage and embarked on a completely new path.

At this moment, both sides looked like Holy Steel Knights, but they were fundamentally different.

When the two Holy Steel Knights started to fight, an invisible protective film immediately rose up in the parade ground, covering up the huge movement inside.

"Savami, oh Savami, I admit that you have some luck."

"What a pity! Your methods are too low-level. If you are allowed to continue, the good situation here will fall apart. By then, it will be Virginia's interests that will suffer."

"It will be different if I, Wilder, take over. Not only will it not weaken, but it will also be able to run another duchy."

"Just continue to be your invisible person like before."

At the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Wilder pricked up his ears, trying to listen to the movements inside, while daydreaming about how he should plan and reform everything after taking over Black Flame City.

After a long while, there was finally some movement inside. A figure ran out in a hurry, panting and shouting to the people outside the door, "Master Wilder, the Lord Mayor and the Duke have ordered you to go in."

"Come on, follow me to see my father."

Hearing these somewhat rude words, Wilder frowned slightly and stared at the captain of the guard Gray who brought the message with dissatisfaction. However, he understood that now was not the time to worry about trivial matters, as there were big things waiting for them inside.

Everyone filed in, paying no attention to Gray, nor noticing the suppressed joy on his face.

"Hehe, the city lord has finally figured it out. I have been waiting for this day for quite some time. Now you can be proud of yourself."

"No, I have to go and watch the fun. This is a rare scene."

Gray fell behind last. He was muttering to himself, and suddenly he thought of something. He quickly closed the door and ran after him in a flash.

When he arrived at the main hall, there were not only Wilder and several important figures from the Duke's family, but also Tieden who had been under house arrest for many days. The announcement should not have started yet.

Gray consciously found a corner to hide.

Naturally, his arrival could not be hidden from others, but as Savami's right-hand man, the old Duke had no intention of expelling him.

"Tieden, Wilder, listen up."

"Father, please speak."

"After my investigation and repeated confirmation, I believe that Savami Virginia is the best of all my children. I have made up my mind to hand over the dukedom to Savami soon, and let Savami lead the entire Virginia to a more glorious future."

As the old duke continued speaking, Wilder and Tieden felt more and more depressed, and finally, they were both stunned.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Wilder and Tieden looked at each other to confirm that they were not hallucinating and that their father really wanted to pass the title of Duke to his stupid brother.

"Father, you—"

"Tiedeng, I don't want you to disobey me, do you understand?"

"I understand—I understand."

Tieden wanted to refute, but the Duke looked at him and gave him a stern warning, so he stopped.

Seeing this, Wilder cursed in his heart, thinking that the second one was too disappointing.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, hoping to find a suitable response plan, but things happened too suddenly and were completely unexpected. He could not think of a way out of the chaos for a while, nor could he think of what had just happened.

"Wild, my dear son, do you understand?" The old Duke did not ignore Wilder.

"I, I, I - I didn't understand." Under those old eyes filled with oppression, Wilder was still unwilling to give in and retorted with his neck stiff.

"You have to understand."

When the old prince heard this, he took a few steps forward and stared at him.

"No, Father."

"Boom."

Wilder's rebellious mentality was rising. He didn't care about anything else. Even the majesty forged by the old duke was useless. He continued to argue.

What greeted him was the old duke's fist, which struck him calmly and powerfully in the abdomen.

Wilder bent over in pain, but he quickly raised his head and looked at the old duke stubbornly, obviously still unwilling to accept it.

The old duke stared at his most promising son, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, but when he thought of his eldest son's terrifying strength, that pity quickly disappeared without a trace.

"Click."

"Click."

One palm, two palms.

Wilder's two legs were broken by the old duke, which frightened Tieden, who was not far away, so much that he trembled in his heart and tried his best to reduce his presence so as not to be affected.

"Father, stop it. I understand."

Wilder was also frightened and chose to submit.

The old duke then handed him over to the others, turned around and said to Savami who had been watching coldly: "Wild is ignorant, I have punished him for you, I hope you don't care about it anymore."

"Okay, I'll give my father some face, and let the past be forgotten like smoke and clouds."

Of course Savami could tell that the old duke was not only talking about current events, but also about some dirty things in the past. He didn't expect that the major mistake was really related to the third brother. He was really his good brother.

However, so many years had passed since the incident, and he had long since reconciled with himself and was too lazy to care about it anymore.

As for the future, it depends on whether the third brother knows what's best for him. The old duke's face may not work next time.

"Father, when do you think the succession should be made?"

"The sooner the better. We will depart on your train this afternoon and then return to our family territory to prepare for everything."

"It's a rare trip to Black Flame City, why don't you stay a few more days?"

"Next time."

The old duke knew that his past neglect had led to a very thin relationship between the two sides, so there was no need for him to stay here and be an eyesore. He should go back and finish the next things as soon as possible to ease the relationship between them.

This is very important to the Virginia family.

Wilder and Tieden's ideas were no longer important. Just like many years ago, the old duke once again chose the option that was most beneficial to the family.

That afternoon, except for those who stayed to teach Savami the etiquette of succession, everyone else left with the old duke.

This time, we came and went in a hurry.

"My Lord, may I ask you a personal question?"

"Of course. I'm always happy to help."

"My Lord, do you think I did the right thing this time?"

"Does it matter whether it's right or wrong? There has always been only one rule in the world. The strong have the power to force other creatures to agree with what they say. What they say and the decisions they make, whether right or wrong, are unquestionable."

In Ivan's opinion, Savami's inner confusion is that he has experienced too little and cannot see the essence of this world clearly.

Speaking of which, the Burning Iron Plane does have its limitations. There is no doubt that this is an extremely special plane. Also at the lord level, the combat effectiveness of the Holy Iron Knights here is far from enough.

What is even more strange is that the life span limit of the lord level is not much higher than that of ordinary people in Danala.

He has not figured out the deeper reasons behind this yet, which is why he pays more attention to this dimension.

But there is no need to rush. He is very patient. Now that he has an unusually long life, he does not need to rush. Instead, exploring slowly is a pleasure.

This is not only true for the Burning Soul Plane, but also for other planes with special conditions. (End of this chapter)
