Chapter 18: The Arrogant Brutus!

Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
“Which blind person dares to block my mount? Do you want to die?” the man cursed angrily. His expression extremely arrogant.
Hearing this, the surrounding commoners all revealed expressions of fear, as if they were extremely afraid of this man.
“It’s the mayor’s nephew, York, Brutus.”
“It really is him. It’s said that anyone who dares to provoke him will be severely punished.”
“These two children are dead for sure. They actually dared to block Bruzzie’s carriage.”
“This Brutus is too detestable. He has done all kinds of bad things. Isn’t it because he has the uncle of a mayor?”
“Brutus’ father is also the captain of the city guards of Rand Town. All of us are under his jurisdiction.”
…
The commoners did not dare to speak. They could only talk in low voices.
Meanwhile, Brutus’s gaze was fixed on the child not far away. Immediately, he took out a long whip from the carriage and was about to whip the child.
This whip was as thick as two fingers. If it were to hit the child’s body, even if he did not die, his bones would be broken.
At this moment, a simple civilian woman ran out and protected the child. She knelt down towards Brutus and pleaded, “Sir, I beg you to let my child go. He did not do it on purpose.”
It was obvious that this commoner woman was the child’s mother.
However, Brutus revealed a cruel smile and said, “Hmph, you’ve disturbed my mount. Do you want me to let it go just like that? Impossible!”
Brutus raised the whip in his hand high and lashed it towards the woman.
Some of the commoners who couldn’t bear to see this scene covered their eyes.
“Bang!”
At this moment, a light shield once again protected the woman and her child in the air.
This made Brutus notice Lin An and Susanna not far away.
Instantly, Brutus’ gaze towards Susanna turned into greed.
“There’s actually such a beautiful girl in Rand Town?”
Brutus had a desire in his heart. He walked towards Susanna and said, “Are you the culprit who disturbed my mount?”
His eyes looked straight at Susanna’s chest, not hiding his desire at all.
Susanna frowned and felt Brutus’ gaze. She said with great disgust, “If you look any longer, I’ll gouge your eyes out. This street doesn’t allow carriages to travel together, not to mention your speed. Don’t you see a child in the middle of the road?”
“Hahahaha.”
Hearing Susanna’s words, Brutus burst into laughter, then, he said as if he was showing off, “My uncle is the mayor, and my father is the captain of the city guards. The rules of Rand Town are set by my family. I can drive the carriage wherever I want. What do you care?”
With such a background, it was no wonder he was so arrogant.
Apart from the Hodtrotz Magic Academy and the Magic Association, Brutus was indeed unchallenged in Rand Town. There was nothing that he did not dare to provoke.
Lin An heard Brutus’ arrogant words from the side and was extremely disgusted.
Could it be that having a powerful background meant that he could disregard the law?
However, this was the case in this world.
The strong were respected!
However, Brutus’ background was clearly not that powerful.
Susanna said in a very strong voice, “I am a student of the Hodtrotz Academy of Magic. With the honor of being a magic sorcerer, I can not watch you kill a child like this.”
Lin An was a little surprised by Susanna’s strong voice.
After all, in the academy, Susanna acted like a gentle girl. This was the first time Lin An had seen such a side of Susanna.
“Hodtrotz Magic Academy?”
When Brutus heard this name, he put away his arrogance. However, he quickly looked at Susanna greedily and said, “Would Hodtrotz Magic Academy make an enemy of my family for you? I’ll give you three choices.”
“One, I kill this mother and son.”
“Two, you come with me. I’ll treat you well.”
In Brutus’ eyes, Susanna was so young. She was definitely a sorcerer’s apprentice.
And a sorcerer’s apprentice, even if she was from the Hodtrotz Magic Academy, Bruz didn’t care at all.
After all, the family behind him controlled the entire Rand Town,
As for Lin An’s existence, he was directly ignored by Brutus.
A person dressed in civilian clothes definitely didn’t have any backing.
“You!”
Hearing Brutus’ words, Susanna was embarrassed and angry.
However, when she saw the rank-3 magic beast, the Fiery Horse, Susanna knew that it was definitely not impossible to defeat the Fiery Horse.
A rank-3 magic beast was already equivalent to the strength of an advanced sorcerer’s apprentice.
Susanna suppressed the anger in her heart and asked, “What’s the third choice?”
When Brutus heard Susanna’s words, he revealed a cruel smile and said, “The third choice is to kill this mother and son and your companion, then forcefully take you away.”
After saying that, Brutus directly summoned the Firey Horse and rode on it.
The tall Firey Horse brought great pressure to Susanna.
At this moment, Susanna understood that unless she rushed back to the academy, it would be extremely dangerous to stay here.
Although there were many civilians nearby, and even students from the Hodtrotz Magic Academy here, almost no one stood out to help.
After all, Brutus’ status in Rand Town was too prestigious, and no one wanted to offend Brutus.
At this time, Lin An stood out and said very calmly, “What if we don’t want to choose either?”
Facing Brutus’ arrogance, Lin An couldn’t hold it in any longer.
He actually did such a despicable thing in public.
Moreover, Lin An knew that at this point, it was already impossible to negotiate.
At worst, he could cast a forbidden spell and kill Brutus. Then, he could return to his hometown and hide with his family. Even if the family behind Brutus wanted to find him, it wouldn’t be so easy.
As long as he waited for his realm to increase, he could come back and take revenge at any time.
“Yo, a hero saving a damsel in distress? Are you worthy?”
Brutus looked at Lin An with disdain in his eyes.
Sitting on the Fiery Horse, he directly lashed out at Lin An with his whip.
“Bang!”
Lin An dodged and the whip directly lfashed onto the ground.
Meanwhile, Brutus lashed out with his whip again.
Susanna released a light shield to block the attack of the whip and shouted at Lin An, “Lin An, go back to the academy and find Teacher Sophia. I’ll hold off here for a while.”
However, Lin An didn’t move. Instead, he stood where he was, his eyes filled with anger.
