บท 16: Richest family

Roar!——

The red eyed lion's ferocious nature was aroused, it roared, shook its head, and was about to roll over and throw Natasha away.

As it tensed it's legs and was about to take action, it was held be the neck and it received another punch on the head.

Natasha was not about the turn based life, she did not pause her offensive after the first attack landed.

The lion was smashed to the ground again.

"This red eyed lion is indeed the king of the lions, it can actually still struggle after receiving two of my punches?!"

Natasha said with some shock in her voice.

One must know that although she had not refined golden bones, she had broken through the limit of the copper bones.

Her physical body was so strong that it was difficult for swords to do any harm to her.

If she covered her fist with mana, it was easy to break open a big rock.

Two of such terrifying punches not being able to kill the red eyed lion was a testament to it's strength.

Natasha guards, who watching this scene from the sides, were dumbfounded.

"Die!"

Boom!——

Natasha gave the lion another punch on the head again.

This punch directly smashed lion's head into the soil!

The lion was pressed to the ground with one hand, but no matter how much strength it pored into it's legs, it just couldn't stand up.

It's tail swept and swung around, causing the wind to whistle, and a slight dust storm was raised.

Although it was nothing to Natasha, the power of the tail was so strong that it could probably knock out an ordinary person.

"Damn, you are so resistant to being beaten?"

Feeling annoyed, she instantly increased the amount of mana in her fist.

"Die!"

This punch was aimed at the back of the lion's neck.

Click!——

The sound of breaking bones was very crisp as it rang out in the forest.

Roar!——

The red-eyed lion let out it's last pained roar before it's head dropped into the soil, unable to move, and its limbs twitched, as if it had lost strength.

Natasha's punch had directly broken the neck bone of Red Eyed lion!

"Finally dead?"

Although she only threw a few punches, each punch had been stimulated by her mana, especially the last punch, which caused to feel fatigue and a loss of energy.

Natasha wiped the sweat from her forehead and sat on the lion, panting, as she took a break to regain her energy.

The moment she sat on it, the red-eyed lion let out a low roar, it's legs twitched twice, and it looked like it was no longer alive!

"I, Natasha, killed the a lion king with my bare hands!"

Natasha raised her small fists with excitement, her eyes looking extremely fanatical.

She felt like she had not had enough fun yet.

"A lion king is nothing more than that!"

"I have not yet become an apprentice mage, yet I can wield such power. How powerful will I be once I become a mage?"

At this moment, Natasha was determined to become a mage more than ever, her eyes were fanatical and full of yearning!

She picked up the sword she had previously put down and hung it on her waist.

She instructed the two guards to carry the lion and strode away.

…

Pike city, one of the twenty-six cities in the Botala kingdom.

The most popular topic of interest in this city has always been about the Brande family, the richest family in the city.

From the local officials, nobles, common people, and even beggars on the street, they all know about the Brande family's daughter who has been obsessed with becoming a mage ever since she was young.

It Is said that not only is she obsessed, but she is also a fool.

After reading a children's storybook, she became convinced that there was a hidden mage in the world, so she started searching for such a mage so that she could be accepted as a student.

Because of this, she was deceived several times by liars who claimed to be mages.

In the end, the liars were exposed, beaten up, and then buried, so as time went by, no one dared to pretend to be a mage to deceive her again.

However, the daughter of the richest family was unwilling to accept the fact that mages were myth.

She began to wander around, saying that she wanted to find an expert and learn the way if magic.

It was also rumored that she had was dumped by the daughter of a famous general.

When it comes to legends in Pike city, Malcom Brande, the richest man in the city, definitely makes the list.

He came from a mediocre background, but he had great aptitude for business.

The most incredible thing about him is that he actually married the daughter of the former governor of the mouth eastern county, who is the current minister of the ministry of civil affairs.

It was precisely because of this relationship, coupled with Malcom Brande's business skills, that he soon became the richest man in Pike city.

Unfortunately he only had one daughter who failed to live up to his expectations.

Not only did she have no business skills, but she was also obsessed with becoming, and she couldn't even maintain her relationship with the daughter of the general.

Rumor has it that when the daughter of general came to break off their relationship, Natasha even made bold claims that one day she would make the daughter of general regret it, but by then she Natasha, will be out of her league.

For her words, she was widely ridiculed

It was already impressive that a daughter of a mere merchant's family, could have a relationship with the daughter of the general, but now she actually said such arrogant words.

If it were not been for the minister of civil affairs backing the Brande family, the general would have probably ransacked the their house as soon as these words came out.

Because of this, Malcom Brande came to apologize with a heavy gift, which resolved the anger of the general Don Milly.

…

A horse pulling a cart was walking on a street, attracting a lot of attention.

The goods on the cart were wrapped in a piece of linen, and the load could not be seen clearly.

What the people on the street were paying attention to was not the goods but the young lady driving the cart.

"Malcom Brande is such a person, but how could he give have such a daughter?"

"The Brande family's huge wealth has no heirs…"

"That's not necessarily true, Malcom Brande is still young. If his daughter doesn't cut it, maybe his grandson will be better?"

"Can she even find a suitable marriage?"

Many people on the street were talking about it.

There were those that sighed, and there are those that made jokes.

Most people were just looking for some good gossip.

Natasha simply turned a deaf ear to them all.

If it were before, she might have become angry, but now she is just dismissive.

"Just a bunch of frogs sitting at the bottom of a well."

'How could they possibly know how vast the world is or how great the path of a mage is?'

'When I achieve great success in as a mage, not to mention these mere merchants and common people, I won't even have to take the emperor seriously.'

'Is the daughter of a general great?'

'When I become a mage, I might not even spare a glance at the princesses in the royal family.'

At this moment, Natasha's eyes were resolute and full of arrogance.

She believed that the day she shocked the world would not be too distant!

The red eyed lion king, would help her quickly refine golden bones, then she would be comparable to supreme geniuses.

The Brande family's mansion was located close to the county government office.

It is a very luxurious mansion.

They had no less than a hundred servants and maids.

There was no shortage of experts in the field of nursing in the hospital.

At this moment, in the inner courtyard of the Brande family, the lady of the family, the daughter of the minister of civil affairs, Natasha's mother looked very sad.

She had not heard from her silly daughter in more than a month.
