Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

In the Prison Star world, if there is no aristocratic family or even royal-level background to provide training resources, is it really possible for a boy of seventeen or eighteen to grow to the level of Banning?

Stop joking, talking about Ella Village... Even if you say a miracle happened, Elder Yuhong won't believe it.

That's why, before Banning left, Elder Yuhong was so anxious to keep him and question him. He desperately wanted to know who Banning really was, and where the Feiqi family's training of Viviana had failed.

Viviana Scarlet, as the only daughter of God in the Scarlet family and the future vessel of the "Scarlet Silver Meteor·Filia·Scarlet", must not lose to her peers.

Unless... unless Banning is actually the "Son of God" secretly cultivated by a huge force.

In the reception room, the atmosphere froze again.

Both the Red Prison Elder Rodrigo and the Black Prison Elder Augusto were eagerly awaiting Banning's reply, but only one of them had already revealed his feelings in his expression, while the other still maintained a calm exterior.

After a few long seconds, Banning put away the smile on his face and gave a very formal answer.

"Elder Yuhong, you are absolutely right. I agree with your point of view. Even a genius needs an environment to grow..." Banning first took over Elder Yuhong's point of view, then changed the subject and began to explain his own situation.

"But I can swear to the gods that I, Banning, do not come from a prominent family, nor do I have the support of the nobility or the royal family. As for how I can stand here and communicate with the two elders as a mere commoner, it's because I have always lived a life of gambling with my life."

Having said that, Banning took a step back, so that the person he was communicating with was no longer just Elder Yuhong, but also Elder Minghei. Then, he continued.

"This kind of gambling is a true gamble. It's not some 'playing house' where someone will come to save you when your life hangs by a thread. Every time I come back from the brink of death, I grow immensely... I think if I've said this to this extent, you two who have experienced countless life and death situations will surely understand its meaning."

Having said that, Banning's answer officially ended.

His answer seemed very general at first, but to the two sophisticated elders, it could explain part of why he was so capable at such a young age.

In addition, the two elders also understood another thing. They did not expect that Viviana would even tell Banning about the "hidden magic circle".

——(I’ll definitely give this girl a good scolding later… Why does she tell everyone everything…!)

Elder Yuhong thought so.

At this point in the conversation, Elder Yuhong knew that even if he continued to ask, Benning would not say anything more.

In this case, instead of continuing to force it and making everyone unhappy, it is better to call it a day.

——(After experiencing countless deaths... and then achieving tremendous growth... huh...)

Elder Yuhong agreed with Banning's statement. He also believed that no matter how much a person learned from books or on the training ground, as long as he had not experienced the baptism of actual combat, there would always be certain shortcomings.

In actual combat, combat where one's life is at stake, especially combat where one is pushed to the brink of death and then wins with great difficulty, is the type of combat that can most improve one.

However, regarding Banning's background, Elder Yuhong never believed that this guy could be just an ordinary villager from Ella Village.

Putting aside other things, how could a young man have such vision in a small village with limited information?

If this is true, it is likely that a certain powerful person had an error in his reincarnation and was unable to return to the royal family or aristocratic family, and as a result, Banning became what he is today.

——(Sigh, forget it. With his strength, his true identity will be exposed to the world sooner or later.)

"Mr. Banning, since you're unwilling, then I won't bother you anymore... Regardless, Mr. Banning has done our Feiqi family a great favor today, and we will definitely remember it. Furthermore, we won't forget your life-saving grace in the 'Green Ghost Lair'."

As Elder Yuhong spoke, he took out an exquisite badge from his bosom. It was inlaid with clear red crystal and engraved with a pattern as brilliant as fire. Then, Elder Yuhong handed it to Banning.

"The Feiqi family avenges every grudge and repays every favor. In due time, we will solemnly present a gift of thanks to Mr. Banning. Today, due to time constraints, please accept this Feiqi badge. As long as you present it, everyone within the Feiqi family manor will treat you as a family member."

"Okay, then I'll accept it with gratitude."

This time, Banning did not refuse and accepted the Scarlet Badge without hesitation.

Afterwards, Elder Yuhong and Elder Minghei stood up together and escorted Banning out of the reception room.

Two highly respected elders saw the guest off together. Not every visitor can enjoy such treatment.

But it was precisely because the two elders saw the guests off together that the following scene became extremely awkward.

·

·

As soon as Elder Yuhong and Elder Minghei walked out of the reception room, they saw Viviana guarding outside the door.

Only then did the two elders remember that the chief steward had just reported that Viviana also wanted to enter the reception room.

The two elders were so focused on dealing with Banning's affairs that they completely forgot about Viviana outside the door...!

Now, even if the two elders wanted to make amends, it was too late, because the next second, Banning followed them out, and the four of them met awkwardly.

For a moment, the air seemed to be frozen, and everyone's eyes were wandering, not knowing where to look.

No one knew what to do, because no matter who spoke first or what they said, it seemed to only push the awkward situation into an abyss that was even more difficult to handle.

·

After a few short yet long seconds, the person who broke the silence first was Viviana, the youngest among the group.

At this moment, the Red and Black Elders didn't even have a clue how to resolve this embarrassing problem.

“…Meet the two elders.”

Viviana acted as if she didn't see Banning. After greeting the two elders, she stood aside silently.

Upon seeing this, the red and black elders nodded to Viviana and quickly sent Banning away.

Throughout the entire process, Viviana and Banning didn't say a word to each other, and they even looked at each other for just a moment before looking away.

Elder Yuhong breathed a sigh of relief. Viviana was so considerate and it saved him a lot of trouble.

If this girl were to get serious again in this situation, it would be really difficult to handle.

However, Elder Minghei looked thoughtful... because this "nothing happened" seemed to be more "serious" than "something unpleasant happened".

·

·

Although Viviana thought she had protected her "feelings" and "secrets" very well, in fact, the attentive Elder Minghei had already seen through the girl's thoughts.

Unlike Elder Yuhong who only cares about "strength", Elder Minghei not only regards Viviana as the Son of God, but also treats her as an ordinary granddaughter.

An ordinary granddaughter will not only fall in love with others, but will also bring back a grandson-in-law to the Feiqi family in the future.

So, would Banning be a qualified grandson-in-law?

Although Elder Minghei had not yet clearly noticed that he had such an idea, subconsciously, he had already regarded Banning as half his grandson-in-law.

Since he had such a subconscious thought, during this direct negotiation with Banning, Elder Minghei naturally had some thoughts of examining the mentality of his future grandson-in-law.

After the entire inspection process, Elder Minghei was quite satisfied with this kid Banning.

Although we still don’t know Banning’s true identity, with his magnanimity and ability, so what even if he is really a commoner from a small village?

In order to help Banning, Elder Minghei has even decided to include the "unknown rune stone with a considerable background" in his "thank you gift" to Banning.

In fact, Elder Minghei has always believed that birthplace does not determine the height of a person's growth. Among the major families and even the royal family today, which one did not start out as a commoner if they could trace their roots back to the first generation?

However, he always kept such dangerous thoughts in his heart and never spoke them out loud.

If every commoner wanted to be a noble or even a king, then the Prison Star world would be in chaos.

After sending Banning away, Elder Yuhong and Elder Minghei returned to find Viviana.

On the way back, Elder Minghei said to Elder Yuhong, "Our Viviana has grown up and knows how to control her emotions."

Elder Yuhong was puzzled, so Elder Minghei explained to him that just now outside the reception room, Viviana was afraid of exposing the relationship and feelings between herself and Banning, so she pretended to be polite and distant and avoided face-to-face communication.

"What? Viviana and Banning are already in love? When did they start?!"

Elder Yuhong was greatly shocked when he heard this, causing Elder Minghei to burst into laughter.

Elder Minghei told Elder Yuhong that they should hold their troops in place for now and not alert the enemy.

Viviana is fifteen or sixteen years old now, and is in the rebellious period of adolescence. If Viviana's rebellious psychology is aroused, she might elope with Banning.

What they have to do now is to trust Viviana and not put any pressure on her, so that she will trust the Red and Black Elder in return.

As for what happens next, we'll see as we go along.

"Tsk, I was going to scold this girl. It seems that Banning knows about the 'hidden magic circle'."

"Forget it, Rodrigo. This is just your guess. I actually think... Viviana wouldn't tell anyone. Why don't you try to trust her for once?"

Elder Yuhong was persuaded by Elder Minghei. Frankly speaking, he was not very good at talking to "children". It would be more appropriate to leave such delicate matters to Elder Minghei Augusto.

After this discussion, the two elders returned to the reception room to look for Viviana, but were told by the chief steward that Viviana had gone out to the suburbs to hunt monsters.

Elder Yuhong: "What? Still out hunting monsters so late?"

Elder Minghei: "Did she go out alone? Was there anyone following her?"

The two elders asked anxiously, but the chief steward maintained professional composure and replied in a steady tone that Viviana had exercised her authority and went out hunting alone, with no one following her.

"Okay... I understand. Go down and do your work."

"As you command, Elder."

Elder Yuhong responded to the butler with an expressionless face, and then left the reception room with Elder Minghei.

Elder Yuhong didn't want the chief steward to hear what he was going to say to Elder Minghei next.

This was because all matters concerning the Son of God should be kept confidential, and also because the topic was somewhat embarrassing, so he did not want to talk about it in front of outsiders.

·

Under the moonlight, two elders walked side by side in the Feiqi family manor. The one with a lot of distracting thoughts in his mind was Elder Yuhong, but the one who spoke first was Elder Minghei Augusto.

"Look, Rodrigo, Viviana is really angry."

The moment Elder Minghei opened his mouth, he hit upon Elder Yuhong's inner thoughts. He was thinking that going out to hunt monsters without permission was not Viviana's style, and it was a bit strange. As for being "angry"...

——(Huh? Viviana is angry? Why didn’t I see that?)

"Ah? She is angry? When did she become angry?" Elder Yu Hong asked in confusion.

When Elder Minghei heard this question, he sighed silently.

·

Looking at the bewildered look on the face of his old partner, Elder Minghei sighed inwardly that Rodrigo, who only pursued "power", was truly indifferent to emotions.

In view of Elder Yuhong's stupidity, Elder Minghei didn't want to waste time explaining to him and told him bluntly that if Viviana wasn't angry, she would definitely stay in the manor and wait for them to come back - because, there was no reason for Viviana not to ask them about the visitor.

After all, Viviana's concern for the commission is no less than that of the two of them.

And now, Viviana actually ran out to hunt monsters without even asking. Isn't this angry?

After listening to Elder Minghei's reasoning, Elder Yuhong was enlightened.

He exclaimed in amazement, "Augusto, I didn't know you were such a genius at seeing into people's hearts!"

Elder Minghei was not at all happy about being praised. He just complained silently in his heart that it was not that he was too smart, but that Rodrigo was too stupid.

Meanwhile, after praising Elder Minghei, the unselfconscious Elder Yuhong humbly asked, "Now that Viviana is angry, what should they do next?" They couldn't just grovel and apologize to the younger generation, right?

"Augusto, we don't let Viviana enter the reception room... This is not too much, right? After all, we are doing this for her own good." Elder Yuhong asked.

Elder Minghei smiled and replied that there was no need to be so nervous, just go back and get some sleep, and Viviana would come to discuss with them tomorrow.

"Really? It's that simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple. After living to this age, don't you understand the power of 'time', Rodrigo?"

Looking at the confident smile on Elder Minghei's face, Elder Yuhong gradually believed it.

Although he didn't understand the logic behind it, this method of doing nothing was obviously a good way to be lazy.

It would be a torture to ask Elder Yu Hong to deal with those delicate matters.

"As you say, Augusto."

"Haha, you will understand the reason for my arrangement tomorrow morning."

In this way, the red and black elders reached a consensus, and then leisurely returned to their respective mansions in the manor to rest.
