I am the descendant of a dark wizard, and I will inherit the family fortune.

“Hahahahahaha, Lord Leon?

Alexander, I really should punish you, but considering that this is your first offense, I will not bother with you.

Remember, you are my student, a wizard! Leon is Leon, not Lord Leon.

Alexander, you may not have figured it out yet. In the wizarding world, strength is everything. Duke and Earl are just titles to us, and the orders of the nobles are just a piece of waste paper!

Now, please reorganize your words and say it again."

Alexander took a deep breath and said, "Teacher, I want to know why I am inferior to Leon. I want to catch up with him and surpass him!"

Hemeri smiled and nodded, "See, you are already adapting to your new and distinguished identity.

As for why you're inferior to Leon...it's simple, you're not ruthless enough."

This time, Alexander was really confused.

Wasn't he ruthless enough? The kids around him were willing to listen to him because he was ruthless enough and fought like he didn't care about his life.

Moreover, he once killed a grown man who was fighting with him for a dropped coin bag!

Although he had only known Leon for a short time, he instinctively felt that Leon was a...good person.

To be a beggar, one must have the ability to quickly distinguish which people can beg and which people need to be kept away from. Obviously, in Alexander's mind, Leon is the first type of person.

Hemery reached out to take the teacup, and then it broke into pieces with a snap. Then, Hemery picked up a piece from the shards and held it in his hand.

"Alexander, what is that in my hand?"

"It's a teacup, a piece of teacup."

"Hahahaha, sorry, wrong answer."

Hemeri opened his palm and saw that the teacup fragments had already turned into powder.

Hemeri blew a breath and the powder flew out.

"This is Leon. When he uses his strength, it won't be easily noticed. And once he does, he'll go all out and crush you to pieces. Facing such a ruthless Leon, are you afraid?"

Alexander was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid."

"Oh? Then what are you afraid of?"

"We're hungry. We're afraid of being hungry."

Hemeri was stunned, then burst into laughter.

"Alexander, don't let your talent go to waste." Hemeri slowly stood up, walked to the door and stopped.

"Also, you'd better remember my words and trust my judgment, Leon... Ha, what an interesting kid."

"Teacher, why do you know Leon so well?"

"Nothing, I just felt he looked like an old friend, that's all."

Hemery added in his mind, "Because that's how I was when I was young."

"Don't leave the City Lord's Mansion." After saying that, Hemeri left.

Alexander wanted to ask, if he went to the so-called wizard academy, where would his friends go? Could he take them with him?

But in Alexander's mind, Hemeri's image was not friendly at all, so he still didn't dare to chase him.

When Alexander walked out of the door, both the maids and guards saluted him respectfully. Alexander smiled at himself. All the clothes on his body were not as valuable as a maid's handkerchief, but they still had to salute him.

They are even afraid of themselves.

Alexander raised his head, and although the sky was already dark, he seemed to see the beautiful morning sun.

Alexander loved the morning sun because it meant he had survived another night.

……

"Burp~" When Alexander found his friends, their stomachs and bodies were bulging. They were leaning on chairs, burping and touching their round bellies.

"Alexander!" "Brother!"

Several friends heard the noise and saw Alexander at the door. They shouted in surprise, but because they had eaten too much, they were unable to run to Alexander's side immediately.

Alexander was both angry and amused, "Aren't you afraid of eating yourself to death?"

"Burp~ It's rare to eat such delicious food, it's worth it even if I die of stuffing."

Alexander shook his head. "Did you bring it to everyone in the family?"

The boy closest to him patted the roast chicken under his clothes and said, "Don't worry, I brought it all with me! I'll make sure Uncle and the others have enough to eat!"

Alexander and his family lived in an abandoned house on the outskirts of the city, which was their home.

There are elderly people and children in the house, and the person in charge is Uncle Morgan who is missing one leg and one arm.

Although old Morgan had difficulty in moving, he had a clear mind. It was also because of him that although there were more people in his family, at least no one died of starvation or illness.

"Brother, let's go home!"

Facing the eager eyes of his friends, Alexander lowered his head.

"Brother, Alexander, won't you come home with us?"

Alexander raised his hand and patted his shoulder. "You two should go back first. My... teacher told me not to leave the City Lord's Mansion."

"Why! Why didn't he let you leave!"

The boy with a scar on his face was very angry, but he didn't know where his anger came from or who it was because of.

Alexander didn't say anything, but the other red-haired boy slapped the scarred boy hard, "Scar, are you questioning Alexander?"

Scar quickly shook his head, his words stuttering. "I...I didn't...I just...then let's go back first! Uncle Morgan and He Mengsha! They don't know the good news about Alexander yet!"

Alexander exhaled, "Scar, you and Red Hair take your brothers back first."

The red-haired man put his hand on Alexander's shoulder and said, "Alexander, you are different from us. You should go to a bigger place. I like it here very much, and I like old Morgan very much. It doesn't matter if... we stay here. Because of you, we will live better than before."

……

Leon sat on the bench in the bedroom, listening to Weimon's report.

"Are all those kids gone?"

"Yes, Master, I've found out everything. To maintain cleanliness, Black Rock City doesn't allow homeless people to sleep on the streets. So this group of beggars... this group of people live outside the city, about ten minutes from the west gate. There's a forest, and they live in a dilapidated house inside.

That house was originally owned by a wizard, but because of an experiment that went awry, his entire family died. Later, two groups of people moved in, but they all fell ill and died, leaving the house abandoned.

Leon nodded, "Do you know the identity or rank of that wizard?"

"Master, I don't know his rank, but his surname is recorded in the City Lord's Mansion. It's... Morgan."
