My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit

Chapter 641: Chapter 391: We All Have a Bright Future (2)

They went mad!

Even the City Lord was horrified by this bloodthirsty Alben family, and he finally mobilized his Personal Guard.

Unfortunately, he originally brought only a few hundred Personal Guards, even lightly armed, and his power was inherently inferior to the Alben family. Now, facing the suicidal attack of the Alben family’s strongest guards, the situation was doomed.

The few hundred were slaughtered to the last man, and in the chaos, the City Lord was also killed. His head was snatched by a member whose strength was merely Hero Level, who excitedly shouted, "Hehe, I got it, I’ll change my surname to Alben!"

However, he barely had a second to feel proud before he was backstabbed by a comrade. He couldn’t even utter a word as the comrade said, "You can’t handle it, better leave it to me!"

Yet the moment the head reached his hands, it was immediately stolen with another backstab.

In that instant, they were bloodthirsty; only the one who got the head had the chance to gain noble status, while the rest didn’t know when they’d have another such opportunity.

They didn’t know if this was the only chance in their lifetime to completely change their identity and become nobles!

Even Xue Dili, who came up with this vicious plan, never imagined the people of this world had such a crazy desire to become nobility.

He wasn’t of this world and even had some prejudice against this world’s noble class, so he thought it was merely a poison plan to divide the current members of the Alben family.

But to the people of this world, this was one of the few opportunities in their lives to leapfrog class and become superior beings!

Among them, many had been raised by the Alben family from a young age, some were Mystic Scholars who awakened the Innate Technique and were recruited by the Alben family. But despite everything, they were all outsiders, peripheral members, never truly noble.

But if they acquired the Alben surname, from their generation onward, the family record would be rewritten, and they would completely break free from the lowly class to become true noble masters.

To this world, this was the ultimate blessing and the lifelong pursuit of everyone among them.

This kind of thinking was something Xue Dili, a person living under the red flag, could not understand at all. If he had lived in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, experienced the Nine Ranks System, where becoming an official required fighting tooth and nail for fame—going so far as to perform bizarre and absurd acts like lying on ice for carp or selling oneself to bury one’s father—before having the slightest chance to become an official, he might understand the madness of this world’s people for a noble surname.

After all, for an ordinary person in this world to become a noble is ten thousand times harder than the Nine Ranks System!

So for this head, the members of the Alben family started to slaughter each other, for this only chance to change their surname, so that their descendants would no longer be mere commoners, to become superior beings...

Hehe, I must get the head! Anyone who stands in my way, even my friends and family, I will kill you!

So, the scene that even Xue Dili found absurd came into being—in order to seize that head, the remaining peripheral members of the Alben family immediately fought, former colleagues now completely becoming enemies, engaging in the most primitive, bloody slaughter and struggle.

Even those nearly Tier Four who grabbed the head would become the target of everyone, killed by comrades in the next moment.

Here, no one is a friend; they are all enemies!

"Su... Belie, quickly go stop them, not really stop them, just stand at a distance and tell them to halt," said Xue Dili.

Susu immediately understood Xue Dili’s meaning, began to shout from the outside, "Stop, you all stop, don’t fight anymore..."

However, she was a bit far from the bloody battleground, her figure completely overshadowed by the killing, like a young lady who had just grasped the power of the Patriarch and was entirely thrown off by the situation.

It wasn’t until everyone in the group realized the head was missing did they stop the slaughter, desperately searching for that head.

But the head was now likely battered beyond recognition in the carnage and struggle, perhaps mixed among the corpses and limbs on the ground, completely indistinguishable.

Likewise, of the nearly thousand Alben family combat forces, only a tenth remained, with the survivors frantically searching for the City Lord’s head among the corpses...

All of this was witnessed by Faust, who felt only a chill up his spine.

This event was reaching its end, even though from start to finish, Xue Dili had only acted when saving the Alben family young lady.

Moreover, it was merely the action of a Xiao Organization member; Xue Dili hadn’t even used a bit of power, yet as it stands, the City Lord is dead, and the Alben family has virtually lost all vitality.

The sole heir, Belie Alben, was completely possessed by the Little Witch, becoming nothing more than a follower.

From beginning to end, Xue Dili seemed to be sitting by the riverside, merely watching the river’s surface, allowing all enemies to fight among themselves, as corpses floated by the riverbank...

Is this what an Apostle is...

Only now did Faust have a clear sense of Xue Dili’s "Apostle" title.
