The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　The waitress's face froze instantly, and she turned her head to look at Dark like a robot.

　"It should be fixed by now, after all, it's not good for it to always be leaking air," Dark said casually.

　The waitress's face changed drastically, and her legs trembled even more violently.

　The manager of the Star Tower pushed her out to greet Young Master Dimon, using her as a shield from disaster.

　Back then, young master Dimon had his maid pierce the wall with a single sword strike. Not only did she breach the wall on the sixth floor, but she also instantly severed the statue in half, forbidding any repairs.

　Because there was no explicit statement that the wall couldn't be repaired, young Master Dimon was miraculously admitted to St. Marian Academy, and the one whose statue was cut in half became aggressive again.

　The supervisor, under pressure, finally repaired the wall, but still dared not repair the statue...

　Now that young master Dimon has returned from the academy, no one dares to provoke him.

　Only she, a waitress whose family background was completely controlled, was forced to serve guests.

　When she came, she still held onto a sliver of hope.

　I never expected that young master Dimon would become even more ruthless after his return!

　Although young Master Dimon was domineering and arrogant back then, he was straightforward and never kept his thoughts to himself, which made him easier to deal with.

　The very opening line is so veiled and menacing, it's truly chilling.

　"They say the academy is a microcosm of society. Could it be that Young Master Dimon has returned after experiencing many trials?"

　The waitress dared not speak.

　Dak didn't actually care.

　Aurora, on the other hand, was quite interested in the sword mark on the sixth floor.

　She even whispered, "How about we go to the sixth floor and take a look?"

　Dark looked at her with a strange expression.

　He felt something was off when Aurora took out that note, and he had a strange feeling about it all the way here.

　Now that they've arrived at the Tower of Stars, Aurora's intentions are becoming increasingly clear.

　He finally realized that the child's travel route might have been drawn up along his past glorious achievements.

　He took Aoli to Liutianfang on Lanyu Street when he was eight years old because he heard that "gambling on stones" was fun.

　At that time, the owner of Liutianfang could tell at a glance that he was of noble status, so he tried his best to promote how high the quality of his raw stones was.

　Eight-year-old Dak had no concept of money; he just wanted to open stones to his heart's content. So he opened all the stones in the entire Liutianfang inventory without hesitation!

　Upon learning of this, a relative of the Duke's family rushed over and examined all the jade stones he had offered. They concluded that the total price was less than one percent of what they would have paid for the raw stones.

　Dak didn't know anything else, but he knew the ratio of 100 to 1 very clearly, so he smashed the archway of Liutianfang.

　If the owner of Liutianfang hadn't realized his mistake early and desperately cried and said he wouldn't accept a single penny, the shop would have been burned down.

　Of course, the "kind" Little Dark eventually paid the equivalent of one percent of the price in Holy Coins to buy back all the rough stones he had extracted.

　He eventually used those rough stones to skip stones in the pond in his backyard.

　As for the other shops on Lanyu Street, he occasionally visited them, leaving behind some traces of the battle.

　And that sweet dessert shop was really burned down!

　However, it wasn't because of the dessert shop; rather, Dark got into a fight with someone there...

　Although he no longer remembered who the noble child who could shoot fireballs was, the incident did happen.

　As for this Star Tower...

　That happened in the first half of last year.

　Therefore, Dak remembers it very clearly.

　At the time, he was unaware that someone was whispering in his ear mocking him for not being among the six statues in the Star Tower.

　then.

　We boys have to get what we want!

　Darko Dimon then summoned his supervisor and demanded that the statue be replaced.

　But those six statues represent people who are not to be trifled with, otherwise they wouldn't have been erected there.

　The supervisor didn't dare to provoke those people, so he had no choice but to reason with them and explain the rules for erecting statues one by one.

　In short, he said a whole bunch of things.

　It's simply about achieving certain accomplishments within a certain age range.

　Then, they are arranged from top to bottom according to the size of the achievement, making a total of six.

　Little Dak isn't truly an unreasonable person.

　He was well aware that his greatest achievement was demolishing a few houses. Therefore, he did not force the supervisor to erect his statue.

　After all, such a statue would be undeserving of its name and would easily become a laughing stock.

　But if they don't erect a statue, can they feel at ease?

　Of course not!

　At Dark's command, his personal maid Trina swung her sword.

　Everyone only saw a flash of sword light, and a very long sword mark appeared on the wall.

　The statue of the man who had mocked Dark was then cut in half!

　The statue falling from the sky smashed directly into the entrance of the Star Tower, and the huge roar shook the entire noble trading district.

　Of course, the moment Trina drew her sword, she had already sensed through her aura that no one was passing by below.

　After that sword strike, the eagle

　Like the man whose hair had been cut off—a beautiful tuft of hair suddenly appeared on the top of his head, which terrified him so much that he almost collapsed to the ground.

　As the son of a marquis, he wasn't so scared that he wet his pants.

　His bodyguard suddenly drew his sword, but as Trina sheathed her sword, the sword's momentum surged in the opposite direction, instantly overwhelming the bodyguard so much that he couldn't even breathe.

　The famous sword in his hand trembled with a "whooshing" sound.

　The overwhelming disparity in strength between the two sides brought the battle, which seemed poised to end in bloodshed, to an abrupt halt.

　This also made the onlookers and the manager of Qunxinglou very relieved.

　However, it seems that during the year that Dark Dimon went to St. Marian Academy, the Marquis's son has started to stir up trouble again.

　Dak thought for a moment, what was the name of that marquis's child again?

　……

　"By the way, whose statue was cut in half?"

　"Dark asked casually."

　Trina said calmly, "It's Joshua, the youngest son of the Marquis of Middleton."

　Dark nodded: "So that's his name. I wonder if he's still around?"

　"Plop!"

　Upon hearing this conversation, the poor waitress collapsed to the ground with a "thud," trembling violently.

　"What's up with her?"

　Dak was baffled.

　But he quickly knelt down, grabbed her hand, and asked with concern, "Miss, are you alright?"

　“没，没事——”

　The waitress was deathly pale, her limbs were weak, and the hand that Dak was holding felt like it had been fitted with a vibrator. Even her voice was trembling.

　It was as if the marquis's youngest son had been cut in half at the waist right in front of her!

　Her symptoms were so obvious that even Dak frowned and said, "If you're not feeling well, it's best not to force yourself to come to work. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me."

　"No, no..." the waitress quickly said, "I just didn't sleep well."

　Dak sighed, "I didn't expect a place like Star Tower to force employees to work. Go and rest, I'll talk to your supervisor later."

　"No, please don't! I'm really fine!" The maid suddenly burst out with strength and managed to stand up.

　Seeing that she had stopped bending over and her legs were no longer shaking, Dak shook his head helplessly: "Then let's go up to the sixth floor first."

　……

　Beside him, Aurora's mouth was slightly open, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

　Although she was already helping Lord Montilfali with internal affairs, she was still too inexperienced in understanding people's hearts.

　Led by the strong-willed maid, the three of them ascended to the sixth floor of the Star Tower.

　……

Chapter 469 Darkdemon Subdues the Enemy Without a Fight (82/233)

　The sixth floor of the Star Tower is a place that resembles a private club.

　There are no goods for sale there, and even food, drinks, and entertainment are all free.

　However, those qualified to enter were all sons of powerful nobles in the capital.

　The most powerful among them was, of course, the eldest prince Charles, whose statue stood atop the stone pillar.

　It was precisely because of the Crown Prince's backing that the Star Tower was able to remain unscathed despite the covetous eyes of so many nobles.

　Otherwise, such a large piece of fat meat would have been devoured long ago.

　Besides the six statues, the Star Tower often publishes rankings comparing young people.

　Some are just sensationalist, while others are quite valuable for reference.

　Dark was once a prominent figure in the capital. Although he was young, his status meant he was frequently on the list.

　Of course, he wasn't very interested in these things.

　In the past, he was always someone who only had a short attention span, doing whatever came to mind. He had a competitive spirit, but it wasn't strong.

　今日艳阳高照.

　The aristocratic scions, huddled on the sixth floor, are holding an emergency meeting.

　The moment the carriage appeared outside the noble trading district, the group learned of Dark Dimon's return, and each of them reacted with a kind of urgency.

　The one who reacted the most was Joshua, the youngest son of the Marquess of Middleton!

　Joshua is sixteen years old this year, which is not old, but in this world he is already considered an "adult".

　Originally, during wartime, fourteen years old was considered "adulthood," but the relative peace of the last ten years or so has pushed back the threshold for "adulthood" by two years.

　Moreover, the development of the times has slowed down the growth of children's minds, and the boundary of "adulthood" may be delayed by another two years.

　But at least for now, Joshua is an adult.

　His father, the Marquis of Middleton, was a newly risen nobleman during the war. Although he was slightly less famous than Aylvert, he was still an extremely powerful warrior, not to mention a seasoned strategist.

　Before the development of magical technology, the power system of this world was mainly based on magic and air.

　Magic is profound and difficult to master, and humans generally lack sufficient magical power to support it, so they are far inferior to the demons.

　In order to fight against the demons, they developed "Qi," a power that only humans could master.

　The so-called "qi" is a mysterious power that is generated from the chakras in the human body.

　Magicians believe that "qi" is actually a form of magic.

　The Holy Teachings believe that "qi" is a kind of innate ability of the "holy," which is passed down through generations and lies dormant in the human body's chakras.

　Both of these claims have supporting evidence.
