Chapter 44 - Ysera
Lin Li looked up and cast a glance, only to find that the owner of the Gilded Rose seemed a little too young. He looked to be in his twenties and not quite 30. He was handsome, fair, and refined, exuding a scholarly aura that would leave a good impression on people.
“Why is he so young?” Lin Li was rather surprised, and even slightly stunned for a moment.
“What can he do? His father died too early and he didn’t have many sons.”
“He’s not older than Kevin, right?”
“Two years younger than Kevin, but he’s much more promising than him. The boy was only 20 when he took over the Mannes Family. At the time, us old fellows thought that the Mannes Family would be weakened this time. But who knew that, for all these years, not only did the Mannes Family not decline, it was more prosperous than in his father’s hands.” As Gerian spoke, he shot a discontented glare at Lin Li. “It makes me angry just thinking about it. Damn it, what kind of world are we living in? Why is Jarrosus full of this kind of demons? A few years ago it was Ysera, and now there’s you, a little bastard even more demonic…”
“…” Lin Li scratched his head, wondering whom he had offended…
“Speaking of which, it’s odd. The boy has been in charge of the Mannes Family for seven years but has not fought even once. No one knows what his actual strength is. You know Old Odin. A few years ago, due to some business strife, the old fellow sent a few assassins to sound him out. In the end, none of the people he sent returned, and a few days later, his beard was shaved while he was asleep. The old fellow woke up in the middle of the night and was scared silly on the spot. He ran over to the Mannes’ house overnight, begging for mercy, and apologized for what he did. Only then was the matter finally settled.”
