Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

It seems like they've suffered some serious blow?

"Don't look at me like that. My dark magic can reduce the damage you take from dark magic to a minimum for three days."

"Of course, if you're a black mage at the highest level, then you're just unlucky."

After hearing Cao Le's words, Zhao Manyan was momentarily unsure whether the torture he had endured was worth it or not.

...

Zhao Manyan had been pacing back and forth in front of the seawall for a long time, but he was still struggling with his decision. The sky had completely darkened, and the lights of many islands in Venice were lit in the distance, while some small islands remained silent in the night, as if they did not exist.

A couple walked towards us. The man was in his thirties or forties, with a scar on his forehead and a dark complexion. He held the woman tightly beside him, his smile wide, as if he were very content with the relationship, more like a young couple newly in love.

Zhao Manyan glanced at the woman again; she was plain-looking... and he lost interest.

Sure enough, no matter what, Zhao Manyan never forgot his original intentions...

However, since the woman was plain-looking and he wasn't in the mood, he decided to wander off to other places.

I'm really feeling quite depressed.

After all, his brother wanted to kill him...

This was something he had never imagined.

After all, isn't he just a spoiled brat?

The only reason he went to the Nationalist government was to please his father...

But unexpectedly, it has led to the current situation.

"Friend, can you take a picture for us?" the man asked, handing over his camera.

Normally, Zhao Manyan would have turned around and left immediately.

But today he seemed to think of his father and wanted to do some good deeds, so he agreed.

As Zhao Man reached out to take the camera, the dark-faced man's smile suddenly became anything but genuine.

A murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and a long, eight-clawed venomous snake emerged from the man's sleeve, viciously coiling around Zhao Manyan's wrist before biting him hard on the arm!

Zhao Manyan was stunned.

He suddenly remembered what Cao Le had told him before!

The plain-looking woman chuckled sinisterly as she slowly pulled an extremely long and narrow poison needle from her palm.

"Zhao Youqian!!"

"Get out here right now!!"

Although Zhao Manyan was bitten, he was actually unharmed.

Because of the dark magic left behind by Cao Le, he was directly immune to the venom of this snake.

Honestly, he never expected that Cao Le's dark magic had such methods. It seems that the torture he suffered before was not in vain!

He completed a light-based holy shield, protecting himself within it, and then roared.

A man, completely covered up, emerged from behind an old tree not far away.

He appeared, apparently having witnessed Zhao Manyan being bitten.

"It really is you...hehe...it really is you..." Although it was already confirmed, seeing the other person come out and cover himself up tightly, Zhao Manyan still immediately confirmed his identity.

That's Zhao Youqian, my older brother!!!

At this moment, Zhao Manyan felt utterly dejected...

...

272. Zhao Youqian's resentment

“Zhao Youqian, why? You know perfectly well that I have absolutely no interest in the Zhao family’s business,” Zhao Manyan said.

"Heh...you're not interested?"

Zhao Youqian sneered, then said, "You're not interested, but what about our father?"

“From the age of ten, I, Zhao Youqian, was under his daily control. I started learning various languages, finance, how to speak human language to business people, and how to speak ghost language to greedy people. I learned how much money I made for our family and how much effort I put in… But you, from birth, have lived a carefree life. That old man wouldn't even utter a single harsh word to you, showering you with money to spend, never letting you manage anything. He paved the way for whatever you wanted to learn. I thought he was just spoiling you, not caring about your achievements, as long as you lived comfortably like a useless second-generation rich kid. I thought he was grooming me as the heir to this clan, hence his strictness, his various complaints about me, and his making me run all the affairs so that I could surpass him in the future…”

"But what was the result??"

"As a result of this dispute over the university, he made a will, leaving you, you idiot, to inherit the entire Zhao family business!!"

"From the very beginning, he treated you like his own daughter, while I was just a servant he could order around at will, someone he could then leave to you to do as you please!"

"..."

Listening to Zhao Youqian's heart-wrenching complaints, Zhao Manyan fell silent for a moment...

If he were Zhao Youqian, he would probably be angry too, right?

After all, he'd worked hard for most of his life, and in the end...

All my efforts have benefited others...

How can I accept this?

"call.."

Zhao Manyan took a slight breath: "I don't know why Father is like this... but I won't argue with you. I came to the National Government only to let him leave peacefully. I am still me..."

"Zhao Manyan, do you think I'm a three-year-old?" Zhao Youqian sneered.

"You can't kill me..."

Zhao Manyan shook his head, and then layers of defense appeared in front of him.

Light, water, and earth elemental defenses, plus Baxia's vessel!

"this..."

The man from the Assassin's Guild was dumbfounded when he saw this.

Are you kidding me? Wasn't this guy poisoned?

Zhao Youqian was also stunned, looking at the two assassins and asking, "What's going on here!"

"Hmph, this kid seems to be on guard. But even if he is, so what?" the man said disdainfully.

The two assassins, one a high-level mage and the other a high-level mage.

Two people against one Zhao Manyan, he can't hold out for long.

Zhao Manyan remained completely calm, because he believed that help would surely arrive the moment he released his magic.

"call out!!!"

Sure enough, before the two assassins could attack Zhao Manyan, a meteorite fell straight down from the sky.

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, a wave of fire swept across the surrounding area.

Both assassins were forced to retreat...

"Shadow Erosion - Dark Tentacles!"

Upon arriving, Cao Le immediately took action.

Darkness enveloped the feet of the two assassins, and then tentacles shot out, binding them.

"Shadow Erosion - Blade of Limit Break!"

"Buzzing~~~"

A massive, dark greatsword materialized here, and with a single strike, it slashed down!

"boom!!!"

Upon Cao Le's arrival, he launched a series of attacks, catching the two assassins from the Assassin's Hall completely off guard...

As the giant sword slashed down, the super-ranked assassin desperately dodged the fatal blow.

And that female assassin was completely killed...

"Damn it, I'll kill you!" The male assassin was furious upon seeing this.

"Space compression!"

Before the opponent could even cast a spell, Cao Le unleashed a spatial suppression. In an instant, the assassin felt as if he were carrying the weight of ten thousand pounds!

Upon seeing this, Zhao Manyan chased after Zhao Youqian.

Cao Le had nothing to worry about; his sheer brutality was clearly something the assassin couldn't withstand...

...

Zhao Youqian was just an ordinary person after all, and he was blocked by Zhao Manyan after only a few steps.

At this moment, Zhao Youqian panicked...

He was just an ordinary person, while Zhao Manyan was a sorcerer.

"I won't hold what happened to Zhao Youqian today against you. I won't compete with you for the Zhao family's heir. I know you're very resentful, but you should know that I just want to be a spoiled brat. I've never had any designs on the family business. I don't want to hurt you because you are, after all, my brother... For Dad's sake and for Mom's sake, even though I'm utterly disappointed in you, you're still my brother." Zhao Manyan looked at Zhao Youqian in front of him and spoke his mind.

Zhao Youqian was slightly taken aback...

Given the current situation, it would be incredibly easy for Zhao Manyan to kill him.

But the other party didn't...

He was somewhat taken aback. Could it be that he was really overthinking things?

After saying this, Zhao Manyan turned and left.

...

By the time Zhao Manyan returned, the battle on Cao Le's side had already ended.

That top-tier assassin has actually been killed by him...

Seeing Zhao Manyan approach, Cao Le asked, "So, should we kill him or let him go?"

After recovering from his surprise, Zhao Manyan continued, "I didn't hurt him, because his resentment was also a kind of injustice to my father, wasn't it?"
