Chapter 4: Holy Artifact

The alley was only three or four meters wide, but there were many people gathered inside.

The people on the outskirts were dressed as servants and attendants, all of them strong-looking. In the crowd, there were two nobly dressed youths, like ham sausages supporting bread. They were brutally beating an elderly couple!

The elderly couple didn't look wealthy. They wore coarse yellowish-brown robes, and the man even had bare feet while the woman wore only a pair of straw shoes. Judging by their age, they were in their sixties or seventies.

There was also an overturned vegetable cart beside them, with vegetables scattered all over the ground. Clearly, the couple had just been assaulted and their cart overturned.

This was a typical case of nobles arrogantly bullying commoners!

It was the first time Du Chen had witnessed such a scene from a movie, and he watched with delight, savoring a strange sensation.

At that moment, Aliza ran to the entrance of the alley. Du Chen suddenly patted him on the shoulder, jumped down from his back, and told him to stop. “Hey, Aliza, do you know those two guys beating the old couple?”

“It's Kaman and Frith. They came to our house before!” Aliza clenched his fists, full of resentment, and said, “They bullied you last time, but I beat them up! Young master, do you want me to teach them another lesson?”

“No hurry!” Du Chen smiled mischievously as he observed Kaman and Frith, paying particular attention to the fabric and jewelry on their clothes.

Hmm, they look like children from wealthy and influential families!

“Aliza, what do their families do?”

“Frith is the son of the Minister of Finance, and Kaman is the son of the Minister of Etiquette and Rites. They are also descendants of the Storm fighter God!”

Following Aliza's guidance, Du Chen took a closer look at Kaman. This guy looked like he was fourteen or fifteen years old, with long sky-blue hair and an orange tight-fitting armor suit. He could be considered handsome with his fair face.

And he was also a descendant of the legendary God of Combat, a noble among nobles!

Du Chen asked, “Whose father has a higher position, his father or mine?”

“Of course, it's Lord Andreas!” Aliza answered without hesitation. “The lord is the Deputy Chief of the Imperial Command Headquarters. He is second only to the king and prime minister!”

Oh, so that cold-hearted Andreas to me is actually the third most important person in the Lanning Empire! That's good, doing this good deed shouldn't cause any trouble!

Du Chen made up his mind. He pointed inside the alley and whispered to Aliza, “Aliza, charge in and teach them a lesson for me!”

“Okay!” Aliza shouted and swung his fists as he charged in. “Kaman, Frith, young master wants me to teach you a lesson!”

Thud! Thud!

He landed a series of unexpected punches, swiftly knocking down several servants on the outer periphery. Then he engaged in a fight with the two young masters' attendants, or rather, he used his sturdy bare feet to torment those seemingly strong and helpless people.

At this point, Kaman gave up beating the old couple and turned to look at Du Chen. “Huh? Francis, aren't you dead?”

“I'm not dead, young master!” Du Chen stood at the entrance of the alley, smiling at them. “Kaman, as a descendant of the legendary fighter God, how can you bully old people? This is a disgrace to your ancestors! Let them go now, or else I'll have Aliza beat you up again!”

Kaman laughed, “Hmph, Francis, three years ago, Aliza did defeat me, but at that time, I was just a Level One Scarlet Martial Warrior! Now…”

He pulled off a necklace from his neck, with a metal ball the size of an egg hanging from it. He held the metal ball in his hand and sneered, “But now, I'm already a Level Two Orange Martial Warrior!”

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

Oh no, I miscalculated. Kaman is actually a Warrior?! And a Level Two one at that!

Du Chen had never seen the abilities of a Warrior in the Einst Continent, and he couldn't help feeling a bit apprehensive. He was a thief, not a hero. After sacrificing himself for a righteous cause in his previous life, Du Chen cherished his own life greatly.

At this moment, Aliza yelled, “Young master, don't worry! Today, I'll knock down two Level Two Warriors from the mansion!”

In the time it took to speak, Aliza had already dealt with all the attendants and pounced on Kaman.

Du Chen was secretly surprised. Could it be that the family warriors he also was beaten by Aliza eariler at the entrance of the St. Kain

“Oh my god, how many important pieces of information has this idiot Francis missed in his memory!?”

At this moment, Carmen stared intently at the newly arrived Aliza, clasping his hands together with the metallic sphere raised in front of his chest. Suddenly, a burst of blue light erupted from his hands, followed by the disappearance of the blue light onto the metallic sphere. In the blink of an eye, the sphere transformed like a mechanical combination, turning into a small golden hammer with horn-like projections.

“Transformers!?” Du Chen blurted out.

Aliza shouted, “Young master, he has a holy artifact, I'll fight him!”

Holy artifact… holy artifact… Du Chen suddenly remembered that someone had mentioned it to little Francis before. A fighter god's strength consists of three parts: their own Dou Qi, holy pet, and holy artifact!

Whether a fighter god possesses a holy artifact has a significant impact on their strength. At least today, Aliza didn't use a holy defeat against the two second-level fighter god who were knocked down at the entrance of the estate!

What a miscalculation! It was all because he didn't understand the common knowledge of the fighter world! Du Chen reproached himself and summarized the lesson learned in his mind: when doing a good deed next time, not only should he consider the other party's background, but also the level of the fighter god and things like holy artifacts and holy pet.

Aliza and Kaman started fighting. Kaman's small hammer continuously emitted a green light, and although his moves were not refined, they were well-executed. Aliza's fighting style, on the other hand, was more aggressive and unpredictable!

Aliza didn't dodge or avoid Kaman's hammer strikes. Even when he was hit, he only frowned and endured it. Then he used his iron fists and large feet to strike Kaman directly. Kaman was very wary of Aliza's strength and hesitated to launch a powerful attack.

A well-trained fighter versus a barbarian, and they fought to a draw!

Du Chen smiled. It seemed there was still a chance to do a good deed!

However, at that moment, Kaman suddenly shouted, “Frith, I'll keep Kaman busy, you deal with Francis the waste!”

Frith, who was venting his anger on the two elderly men, responded, “Alright!” He took a metallic ball from around his neck and transformed it into a metal baton. “Francis, let me show you the strength of Frith, a level-one red-robed magic warrior! Aqua Wave!”

A cyan water arrow shot out from his metal baton towards Du Chen.

It's all my fault! Du Chen regretted why he couldn't have learned more about the world of fighter god before doing a good deed!

The water arrow came quickly, but Du Chen dodged swiftly. He exerted force with his feet, agilely evading the water arrow. However, a second water arrow followed closely behind.

For a moment, Du Chen was forced to dodge and jump. Fortunately, “The Lotus Treasure Mirror” brought forth his agility and flexibility from his past life, allowing him to avoid being hit.

“You dare to attack, young master? I'll fight you!” Aliza pretended to go mad and suddenly jumped up, using his bear-like body to tackle Kaman to the ground. He kicked him fiercely a couple of times before pouncing towards Frith.

“Oh my god, Aliza is even stronger than before!” Frith just realized what was happening when Aliza had already pounced on him. A mage warrior was being cornered by a wild savage… Tsk tsk!

Crack, thud! Ouch, mama!

Frith was beaten up and left with bruises and swelling.

Only then did Du Chen relax. Hey, this Aliza is indeed material for a top-notch fighter! There were over ten people and two warriors, but he easily took them down! Impressive!

Walking with a leisurely stride, Du Chen looked at the two people on the ground, smiling. At this moment, both Kaman and Frith's holy artifacts, along with their owners' defeat, turned back into metallic balls. They held tightly onto the balls, unwilling to let go even if it meant enduring the beatings.

“Kaman, Frith, today young master Francis taught you a lesson. Bullying elders is not right! Understand? Hehe, Aliza, stop now, let them go!”

Kaman climbed up from the ground, stuffed the metallic ball into his pocket, and glared at Du Chen with resentment. “Francis, I can't beat Aliza today. I admit defeat. Frith, let's go!”

As he spoke, he pulled up the groaning Frith and turned to leave the alley.

From his expression, was he planning to seek revenge on this young master in the future? Did he intend to eliminate him to remove any future troubles?

Just as Du Chen had this thought, little Francis's memories reminded him in time that Kaman was a descendant of the Storm fighter god, Aruman. While he had made a mistake and could be punished, he couldn't be killed. Sentencing a descendant of a revered fighter god required a judgment from the Holy Order, otherwise one would be sent to the pyre!

So, let's teach him a lesson in another way.

Du Chen reached out and touched his nose before striding over and patting Kaman on the shoulder. “Remember, young master Kaman, you must never bully the elderly again!”

Kaman glared at him and brushed off Du Chen's hand on his shoulder, turning around. “Fine, I lost today. You can say whatever you want!”

“In that case, I won't see you off!” Du Chen raised an eyebrow and smiled, radiating warmth.

However, secretly, Du Chen concealed his hand behind his back, grasping a metal sphere - Kaman's very own holy artifact!

That's right! In the midst of bidding farewell, Du Chen had stolen Kaman's holy relic!
