Chapter 1411: Brother Gaius
Chapter 1411: Brother Gaius
The so-called Gaius was in his mansion, cultivating with the few Divine Stones he obtained every day through ‘tax collections.’ In fact, those were all Rank One Divine Stones, and even after many years doing this kind of business, he still hadn’t seen a single Rank Two Divine Stone.
He arrived here and started to operate with his group just a few weeks ago in the Yulital District and the others surrounding it. However, this kind of extortion business was already going on for a long time in another city. It’s just that things started to get really bad in the previous town, so he saved some of his Divine Stones to teleport to Dry Sky City. He didn’t bring anyone with him, though. The entire group he had gathered for the job was completely new.
The reason he teleported away was not that things had become dangerous. In fact, the situation was pretty much okay. It’s just that after extorting Divine Stones for such a long time, people really couldn’t provide him that much anymore. The other districts in the previous city already had their own groups controlling it. For Gaius, it wasn’t worth starting a war against them. Instead, giving up his actual group and starting a new one in another city was much better. And that’s how he ended up here.
Things were better than he expected as well. As always, the poor districts of the cities in this desert didn’t have that many Divine Stones. However, when he acted on several districts at once, he was still able to gather a sizeable amount. He planned to stay here for a few more years until the people in the area couldn’t produce Divine Stones anymore before moving to another part of the city or another city altogether.
Suddenly…
*Boom!*
The entrance of his mansion was blasted away, sending his few guards flying with it. Those guards were also the strongest members of Gaius’ group. Gaius himself was at the Initial Stage of the Elemental Transformation Realm. As for his guards, some were even in the Initial and Middle Stages of the Saint Realm. It was a very strong group when one considered the city as a whole. Maybe only the City Lord and a few other rulers might be stronger than that. Surprisingly though, that explosion didn’t kill anyone. At most, they were seriously injured but wouldn’t die anytime soon.
It was then that a white-haired guy entered the mansion with leisurely steps. “Oh! Look at this place! Even in Dry Sky City, you can still find some lavish residences.” Obviously, the young man was none other than Rean. A few other guards at the Soul Transformation and early Saint Realm came forward to stop Rean, only for their bodies to be pinned to the ground due to Rean’s ridiculously strong Divine Soul Power. It didn’t take long for all of them to understand that Rean wasn’t someone who they should mess with.
Seeing that, a few of the guards gave up on their job and tried to escape the mansion. First of all, there wasn’t much loyalty here. Now that someone strong appeared, none of them wished to lose their lives for Gaius at all.
*Bang!*
*Bang!*
*Bang…*

Unfortunately, they were all struck by some rays of Light Element and were made unable to move anymore as Rean said, “Anyone who tries to escape will end up just like those idiots. If you’re confident in your speed, you can always try.”
Everyone immediately froze in place after that. Confident in their speeds? They didn’t even see those rays of light before they had already struck the previous guards. They also saw how they were seriously injured as well. There was no way in hell that they would try to escape right now. That would just be tantamount to suicide!
*Boom!*
It was then that the ceiling broke apart as a bullish man came down. “Who dares to wreak havoc in my mansion?” All the guards’ eyes lit up, seeing that it was none else than Gaius.
“Gaius!”
“It was him!”
“He destroyed the entrance!”
“It was him who put everyone down as well!”
Gaius looked around, and his expression quickly went dark. After that, he looked at Rean… before his dark expression became pale in a second. “Peak Stage of Elemental Transformation!”
Rean was covering his body with the Divine Sense bending skill. That’s why Gaius came down without a care to the world, thinking that someone had barged into his mansion to die. However, Rean let Gaius see his strength as soon as he touched the ground. In fact, that was far from Rean’s real strength, as he could fight people much stronger than his cultivation suggested. “So what if I dared to wreak havoc in your mansion? Do you have a problem with that?”
Gaius then took a deep breath and calmed down. Even though Rean’s words were humiliating, shame was something no one cared about in a place like this. “So it was this friend who came. It was my mistake not to welcome you outside. What would this dignified young man want with a bullish guy like this Gaius?”
All the guards began to let out cold sweat after hearing that. How could they not understand? Rean must be much stronger than Gaius, or that psycho would have attacked Rean a long time ago.
Rean smiled in response, saying, “Oh, it’s good that you asked. Did you know that one of your men tried to rape my friend’s daughter? Believe it or not, she’s only eight years old, but it seemed like that deranged piece of shit didn’t care. What do you have to say about that?”
Gaius wanted to cry once he heard that but couldn’t. ‘Why are you even asking me such a thing? There’s no lack of people like that in Treavin Continent. With your strength, why would that kid be in such a situation anyway?’ Of course, Gaius didn’t say that out loud.
“I see… that was a mistake from my side. Just tell me the name, and I shall behead the guy personally!” Obviously, Gaius didn’t want to make Rean angry.
Rean smiled in response. “I didn’t expect Brother Gaius to be that righteous. Don’t worry, I already took care of the guy.. Now then, I would like to discuss something else with you.”
