Therefore, not only would he not go and look for the other party, he would not even dare to reveal this matter. He would pretend that he had not seen the other party. In fact, he could have asked the Empire for help, but even if the Empire knew about this, they would not offend a Great Archmage at the peak of his realm for the sake of a mere Grimm family clan.

Right now, Lein had only instructed his men to go all out to investigate. In any case, they would not be able to find anything. They were only doing this to give the Grimm family clan an explanation.

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. Just as City Lord Lein had thought, his men had indeed failed to find anything. However, the Grimm family had also seen the hard work of these men. They themselves had not been able to provide any leads, so they could only put it on hold for now. However, the more they could not find anything, the more rumors flew around outside. They were all speculating about the cause of death of the Grimm family head. As a result, the popularity of this topic had already overshadowed the limelight that Nicholas had previously had.

However, the development of the Nicholas family clan was not overshadowed at all. As the head of the Grimm family clan had been killed, the family did not have the time to care about business. This had caused the businesses of the Nicholas family clan to improve instead.

Karuman had also gradually gotten used to his current life. In fact, he had no choice but to get used to his current life because he knew that his master would be watching his every move. If he had any bad thoughts, his master would immediately let him experience what was worse than death.

However, there was nothing bad about living here apart from being a little bored. He watched the members of the Nicholas family clan from the door of the ancestral hall almost every day. He found that the members of the Nicholas family clan came to the ancestral hall almost every day to pay respect to their ancestors. The worship was not a formality, but one of extreme devotion, especially the family head Norton, Ron, and a few core family members. When they paid respect to their ancestors, their eyes even lit up. He had seen that light before. It was from a religious fanatic whom he had met previously. When he mentioned the deity he believed in, a kind of light would appear in his eyes. Now, he could see this light in the eyes of Norton and the others.

It looks like Master must have often appeared to help them as an Old Ancestor. Otherwise, these descendants would not have paid their respects so devoutly.

Karuman thought.

However, this was good too. This at least meant that Master regarded this family highly. Protecting such a family, he would have made some contributions in a way.

In the few days that he was in the Nicholas family clan, Karuman had also learned about the situation of the entire Nicholas family clan. This was indeed a small family clan of less than 30 people, and the highest cultivation base was that of a Great Mage. However, when it came to the Great Mage realm, Karuman thought of Ron. He should be the most eye-catching presence in the family clan. He remembered that on his first day here, Ron was only a level-6 Great Mage, and he had just advanced. But just last night, Ron had actually broken through to become a level-8 Great Mage! He had advanced two levels in a row! This had caught him by surprise. Even some of the top students of the magic academies, who had gold-tier cultivation techniques, the assistance of various high-grade Magic Pills, and even the guidance of their teachers, could not have advanced two levels in just a few days. The only explanation was that the other party was extremely talented, and even had Master secretly helping him.

Apart from Ron, there was another person who had also caught Karuman’s attention, and that was their family’s Little Arthur, who had just turned a month old. This little fellow had been brought to the ancestral hall to pay respect to his ancestors. With one look, he immediately discovered the other party’s monstrous aptitude for magical power. If he were to be discovered by the big shots of the magic academies, they would definitely fight to take him in as their disciple. He had wanted to check out the other party just now, but he soon discovered a powerful force in the other party’s body. This made him quickly retract the probing magical power. Needless to say, that powerful force must have been caused by his master to protect this little fellow. Now that his master had asked him to protect this family, it was probably for the sake of Ron and this little fellow.

“Hello, Mr. Karuman.” At this moment, a voice sounded, interrupting Karuman’s thoughts. He looked at the person who had come in and saw that it was a handsome young man. Karuman knew him. He was Jack, the live-in son-in-law of the Nicholas family clan. This was also someone Karuman had a better impression of because the other party had actually participated in the most important business of the Nicholas family clan as a live-in son-in-law. It was the soap business. It could even be said that the entire soap business was run by him. It could be seen that this person had some means.

“Hello, Mr. Jack,” Karuman said politely to him. After Jack had paid respects to his ancestors, he left.

After Jack had left the house of the Nicholas family, he walked in the direction of the center of the city. He had made an appointment to discuss business with someone. The other party was a large family clan in Cold Ice City, a city much larger than Winterfrost. The other party was the number one family clan in the city. Legend had it that their family even had a Great Archmage in command. In short, such a family clan was much stronger than the Nicholas family clan. Although their soap business was exclusive now, and whether they wanted the deal or not was up to them, the other party’s family clan was after all very powerful. If he were to go late and slight the guest, that would not do. Therefore, he had gone out directly after paying his respects to his ancestors early in the morning.

In order to make haste, he chose a small path. This was an empty alley, and no one usually passed by here. After he had entered and turned a corner, a strong gust of wind immediately blew at him. In a panic, he immediately used the movement technique passed down from the ancestors of the Nicholas family clan. He turned his body slightly to the side and dodged the other party’s attack. Then, he had the chance to extend his hand and grab the wooden stick which was flying in his direction. He used the force from the impact and pulled hard. Instantly, the other party was pulled forward and fell, landing on his face.

The person stood up exasperated, and said to the other two, “What are you guys waiting for? Hurry up and attack him. Hit him hard.”

It was not just one person who had come, but four. The other three were waiting behind with ropes and sacks. They had thought that the other party did not know any martial arts or magical power, so they wanted to just knock him out with a stick and carry him away in a sack. Unexpectedly, the other party had dodged his attack and even threw him down..
