Chapter 52
An illegitimate child? Doesn’t have Gerton bloodline? Entire legacy?
After hearing those words, Lei sneered then turned around to leave .
This woman indeed had some schemes up her sleeves, first using wealth to tempt him, then finding his weakness . Her appearance showed that she must think she had won . If he were an inexperienced adventurer, he would have fallen into her traps .
But who was he? He was the lonesome thief who had rampaged through the Westfall, a brutal butcher who killed the whole family of the smuggling “pellet” group by himself, a ruthless man who dared to provoke the Hunting and Massacre God!
Wanting to trick him? Don’t spill the urine on the mirror!
Not to mention, he had already seen many of these aristocratic tricks that year . But a non-bloodline illegitimate child? As long as one got money, they could also fake this bloodline . It was simply a magical ritual which cost two or three thousand gold coins to replace the sample blood vessel .
Judging from the current situation of the Gerton viscounts, their ruling order had started to fall apart, both sides were about to collapse . At this moment, the bloodline and fame . . . didn’t have much significance . The only reliable bayonet was force .
Big fist won, small fist lost . The winner took all and the loser’s life would be done . He had already seen with his own eyes these kinds of cold-hearted matters among the noble people long time ago .
The fact that Luo Meng was able to manipulate lovers of Stelle had shown his ruling power over the territory . This Stelle with rotten reputation absolutely could not hope there would be some character with virtue and prestige coming out to protect her . What would happen if both sides laid out their cards? At this moment, he could predict something .
Under such a situation, would he be willing to help Stelle to fight over the right of the inheritance?
Only an idiot would do such thing!
While he was sneering and about to leave, he could hear Sui Xiong’s information through the spirit .
“Take a look at her first then say . Thing seems a little bit off . “
“Highness Jellyfish God, you completely don’t know about the human world— this matter is set, there is absolutely no hope . ” Lei believed that the justice spirit had once again flare up inside Sui Xiong, persuaded, “This woman has no chance to turn the table around and escaping sounds more realistic right now . “
“I am not interested in that woman, but the Gerton’s viscount . “
” . . . As a God, not a human, I feel it is somewhat risky to put your hand on the noble inheritance right . ” Lei continued persuading, “Not to mention, what can you get from that? The status, power and assets of human are basically useless to you . To develop your religion, how can you earn respects from others when you sell your religion over the benefit?”
“You have thought too much . I want to take charge of the justice . ” Sui Xiong laughed twice . The thought of reconstituting himself in the never-seen-before dispute of the noble inheritance right disappeared .

” . . . I always feel that this is not a truth . “
Sui Xiong didn’t think Lei would be this sharp . He couldn’t help but fluster a bit but he quickly hid that attitude, pretended to be serious then said: “You are thinking too much . One thing you should know that after all I am a virtuous God, I have to protect the justice . What is wrong with that?”
“A Jellyfish wants to take care of the human justice . Where is the right in it?”
Sui Xiong was left speechless . He couldn’t do anything else but utilize the ultimate move, which was using force to make him obey . Although Lei didn’t have any interests toward these crappy noble matters, in the end, it was still like throwing a straw against the wind . He reluctantly sighed then followed Stelle .
“First, I have to be clear about one point: I don’t want to help you or promise you anything . ” He emphasized once again in front of Stelle, “I don’t find this matter quite appropriate . I just want to see what on earth are happening . “
Stelle nodded her head nonstop . On the outside, she wore a lovable face, but on the inside, she was silently mocking him .
Want to see what on earth is happening? Speaking is more pleasant to hear than singing! How can she not know the virtue of these adventurers!
The Gerton’s collar was adjacent to the Savage new ground’s collar . Their territory came from the diligent exploitation of other late viscounts . In this process, they had been involved in countless fights with the adventurers . Stelle was the only official heir of the Gerton’s collar . Since she was little, she had gotten to know the adventurers . Hence, she knew pretty well the virtue and behavior of the adventures—the so-called adventurers were just a bunch of profiteers . They also had good and bad people . But there two things they had in common: The first thing was respecting the agreement . They didn’t easily accept any deals . After all, adventurer was a sensible occupation . Credit was very important to them . The second thing was the pursuit of interest . This was not a good thing because this would lead to lots of insane bloody acts!
This mighty black knight has been absolutely tempted . Right now, because he still couldn’t confirm the strengths between both sides, couldn’t determine how strong the opponent on the other side is, he doesn’t accept the offer . As long as he could confirm his victory, even if it is just sixty to seventy percent, he will definitely accept—–sixty to seventy percent is considered enough to an adventurer .
Because of that, her mood was really good . Her steps were getting quicker as well .
Today matter indeed had many twists and turns!
She originally thought that due to the unfavorable situation, she had to let loose a bit . As a result, her group of lovers had been bribed by that traitor! Facing such a sudden attack from a group of brawny men, she basically didn’t have enough strength to fight back, and could just only wait for her death . Right at that moment, a savior suddenly descended from the heaven . An extraordinary adventurer passed by, cleaned up all these traitors, didn’t spare anyone, saving her out of the impasse .

Till the end, the matter was added up double of joys—that adventurer was certainly tempted by her condition . Although he didn’t give out a clear answer yet, he had already chosen to act with her . Until he saw the warehouse of the Gerton family, saw that treasures which piled up like a mountain, faced with the colossal amount of money that could burn people’s eyes, he would definitely unflinchingly stand by her side .
With the help of this powerhouse, she was no longer unable to fight back . It was not only that, as long as she showed that she had enough strength, those fake officials and noblemen, who originally declined to help her, would change their attitudes . This fight of the inheritance right had gradually tilted to the balance point . On the contrary, she even got the upper hand!
Until the very end when she won the inheritance right and got the Gerton viscount position, every single stuff in the treasure-house would be decided by her!
When thinking about this, her mood was getting better and better . She couldn’t help but beam a foolish smile .
“This woman is plotting something on you . ” Sui Xiong, who was hiding on the top of Lei’s head all along, warned him through the spirit, “She is full of ill intentions toward you . Never ever trust her!”
The difference between an ordinary person and a God was huge . This huge difference appeared in every aspect . Among that, there was an important point . The gap between the classes of two livings led to the “reading
consciousness” .
In front of a God, a mortal consciousness was almost undefended . Even though a God didn’t try to read, he could still see clearly as well —the so-called “Human cannot deceive God” applied for this case .
In such situation, following the growth of the human, one’s consciousness also got stronger . Until one could break the limit and step into the legendary realm, a God could not casually read that person’s mind anymore—–of course, until that moment, whether that one was a “Mortal” or not was still a question . Anyway, many legendary powerhouses were all seen as mortal existences .
Certainly, this was not absolute . In other words, Lei’s current ability had almost reached the legendary realm—–which couldn’t leave out the credit of the dangers inside the Ash Rock mountain range—- unless Sui Xiong tried hard to read his mind, he wouldn’t figure out what he was thinking, could only guess vaguely .
Beside, Rennes, the cunning kind of fellow, had also discovered a method to deceive a God—–he was the person that even himself didn’t known that he was lying when deceiving other . Without a doubt, a God basically had no way to find out when encountering such person . He had this method, which could be considered superior, to deceive Sui Xiong . He was indeed a seasoned swindler!
In comparison to that, Stelle didn’t have strong ability or exquisite arrangement, how could she deceive Sui Xiong by her mind?
Although Sui Xiong didn’t try hard to read her mind, in such a close distance, those sneaky thoughts in Stelle’ mind, were like lousy actors reading lines beside his ears, which was as clear as day .
“Don’t worry . I cannot be harmed easily like this . ” Lei sneered at the reminder of Sui Xiong . He disdained that dumb woman but also didn’t quite understand Sui Xiong’s behavior, “As you can see, the noble world is indescribably ugly . This kind of woman . . . Even if she wants to worship you, do you agree to take her as a believer?”
“No, I don’t want to . ” Sui Xiong answered properly .
“You absolutely don’t want to! Maybe the Dark Moon would accept this kind of believer . . . “
“Uh !” Sui Xiong was stunned a little . He condensed his power, took a closer look at Stelle by his spirit then said, “She is not a believer of the God of Conspiracy . If I am not wrong, she must be a believer of the God of Nobility . “
“Oh . . . . Honorable Court Lady (alias of the God of Nobility) and the Dark Moon are not different much . This God at first relied on the help of the Dark Moon to have massacred the previous country, as they and the God of Foreign Affairs seized the ‘Nobility’, ‘Law’, ‘Domination’ positions . From Semi-Gods, they became True Gods . They are originally ally . So what is the difference between the believer of this God and the Dark Moon?”
“Ah? !” Since the material of the God of Salvation didn’t have this old tale, Sui Xiong was a little surprised when he heard this . It took him half of a day to recover his mind, “Dang! No wonder the noble class is in such a mess . Turns out they imitate their superiors!”
After exclaiming, he curiously asked: “The God of Nobility is also a Human God . Why doesn’t she have any reaction to this matter? As I remember, the Master God of the Human God system is the order camp . Does he perhaps agree to allow the Human God and other God systems to do those sneaky and secret things?”
Lei was somewhat annoyed: “There is a big sinister camp inside the Human God system, why can’t they allow their members and the Dark Moon to come? This kind of conspiracy things almost appeared in every political systems and even the Gods!”
Sui Xiong was stunned for another half of a day . He just could shake his head and sigh . Thousands of words now changed into a sentence .
“Your noble circle is really messy!”
