Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Xu Yao's eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked at the parchment scroll.

The Oran Empire is a super empire on the entire continent and possesses abundant resources.

If I could get my hands on this parchment scroll, it would definitely boost my strength significantly.

Moreover, Xu Yao believed that with his talent, he would definitely become a regional hegemon in the future.

After carefully putting away the parchment, Xu Yao led the young man away from the tavern.

Xu Yao led the young man back to the Su Family Trading Company and threw him to the ground.

"I'm warning you, get out of here right now, or I'll make you wish you were dead." Xu Yao looked at the young man coldly.

The young man looked at the youth in front of him, his heart filled with resentment.

But seeing Xu Yao's cold gaze, the young man couldn't help but tremble.

Because this young man knew he was no match for Xu Yao.

"I don't care who you are, you'll regret it if you treat me like this," the young man said fiercely, glaring at Xu Yao.

Xu Yao ignored the young man's threat, took out a bottle of healing potion, and put it into the young man's mouth.

"This potion is mine. If anything happens to me, you're dead!" the young man cried out in terror.

However, Xu Yao ignored him completely and continued to feed him the medicine.

"Cough cough, who...who exactly are you?" Finally, after taking the potion, the young man felt his injuries had improved considerably.

"Me? I'm just an ordinary person, but I'm quite skilled in medicine," Xu Yao said calmly.

"I have a bad temper, so you'd better not mess with me in the future, or I can't guarantee you'll leave this city alive!"

"You dare threaten me! Do you know who my father is?!" The young man stared wide-eyed at Xu Yao in disbelief.

"What does it matter to me who your father is? I just want to tell you not to mess with me in the future," Xu Yao said earnestly to the young man.

"You better remember what you said today." The young man's lips trembled slightly.

"Hehe, I have a very good memory," Xu Yao said with a slight smile.

"Hahaha, what a farce," Xu Yao muttered, shaking his head.

This young man is the son of a powerful family. Relying on his father's power and influence, he acts recklessly, bullying men and women and being arrogant and domineering.

Xu Yao was getting a little tired of this.

"This guy may not be very strong, but he's quite smart," Xu Yao muttered to himself, stroking his chin.

"What did you just say?" The young man looked at Xu Yao in confusion.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something," Xu Yao waved his hand.

After disposing of the bodies of the men in black, Xu Yao returned to his room to rest.

His mission here has come to a successful conclusion; all that's left is to go home and prepare for the auction.

The next morning, Xu Yao walked out of his courtyard.

His face was filled with excitement, even though he had come to the Oran Empire to obtain materials.

However, it is also for training purposes; what he needs now is to hone his skills and improve his combat techniques.

Xu Yao moved like lightning, his speed was extremely fast.

Meanwhile, pedestrians on the street all dodged away when they saw Xu Yao; even they, as fifth-level martial artists, couldn't achieve such speed.

Xu Yao's strength is at the early stage of the fifth rank, and he is one of the best at the early stage of the fifth rank.

The other martial artists were all at the peak of the fourth rank or at the advanced level of the fourth rank.

Therefore, Xu Yao was the only sixth-level martial artist on the entire street, so his speed was naturally very fast.

"Hmm, where is this..." Xu Yao suddenly realized that he was lost.

Because Xu Yao didn't know the way, and he didn't even recognize any of the surrounding buildings.

"This must be the royal city," Xu Yao murmured, looking at a huge palace in the distance.

"I need to figure out where I am first, and then I'll find a carriage." After looking around, Xu Yao realized that he seemed unable to ask for directions.

"Oh dear, why am I so unlucky?" Xu Yao sighed helplessly.

"Hey, it sounds like people are arguing over there."

Just then, Xu Yao noticed that people were arguing not far away.

"I advise you to hand over the item, or you'll definitely not have a good ending," a person dressed in magnificent armor said to the young man in front of him.

"I bought this first!" the young man said, frowning.

"Hmph, this isn't a first-come, first-served rule; it belongs to me," another knight said disdainfully.

Both knights were seventh-tier martial artists, considered experts even in the Oran Empire.

"Hmph, don't force me, my methods are very cruel," the young man said, clenching his fists.

"Hmph, let's see if you have the ability," the two knights sneered.

"Then let's give it a try!" the young man roared, then lunged at the two knights.

Xu Yao observed the battle from the sidelines and found that the young man was quite strong; although he was not as good as himself, he was not far behind.

This made Xu Yao nod slightly.

Although he is currently at the early stage of the eighth rank, he is more than capable of dealing with these two people.

Xu Yao jumped directly into the fray and then helped the young man block the attack.

The young man hadn't expected a stranger to suddenly appear.

"Who are you?" a knight shouted at Xu Yao.

"I am the helper invited by this gentleman," Xu Yao said calmly.

"Help? We have two knights here. Do you think you can save this kid?" The knight looked at Xu Yao with a mocking expression.

"I told you, I'm an accomplice." Xu Yao's eyes instantly turned icy cold.

"Fine, since you insist on courting death, then don't blame us," the knight said to Xu Yao.

Xu Yao didn't speak, but just stood there quietly watching them, as if waiting for them to make their move.

Enraged that Xu Yao dared to resist, the two knights drew their swords and charged at him.

The two knights' excellent teamwork clearly indicated they had been trained.

Xu Yao, however, remained calm and composed, forcefully stomping his right foot on the ground before leaping into the air.

Then Xu Yao flipped his hand, and two iron nails shot out from his hand.

Two muffled thuds followed by two screams; the two knights had died as iron nails pierced their throats.

A glint of light flashed in Xu Yao's eyes upon seeing this scene; he hadn't expected his skill with hidden weapons to have reached this level.

"Holy crap, you're actually that amazing?" The young man stared at Xu Yao in astonishment.

"These are just minor skills, not worth mentioning," Xu Yao said modestly.

"Alright, let's go." Xu Yao said, looking at the young man in front of him.

Xu Yao led the young man to a carriage and then headed towards the Royal Shop.
