Chapter 340 - Chapter 340 The 339th Deep Night Forcibly Abducting the
Chapter 340 of "Exploring Technology in a Wizard World" begins revealing exciting developments: At that moment, the Bald Strong Man was utterly humiliated but still managed to squeeze... Donât stop now!
At that moment, the Bald Strong Man was utterly humiliated but still managed to squeeze out a smile and spoke, âMy lord, do you need something else?ââDo you hate me right now?â Richard asked the Bald Strong Man.
âNo,â the Bald Strong Man shook his head vigorously, absolutely certain, âDefinitely not.â
âAre you sure?â
âSure, very sure.â
âI donât like it when people lie.â
âUh, well⊠okay, I do hate you a bit, but thatâŠâ
âGood,â Richard spoke. âIt looks like youâre quite sincere, so we can spend a minute to talk.â
As he said this, Richard walked over to the side of the Bald Strong Man and squatted down. With a flip of his hand, a Gold Coin appeared between two fingers, its brilliance almost blinding the Bald Strong Man.
Richard spoke, âI donât care to explore what youâve been scheming in this tavern time and again, but all you want is wealth and advantage, both of which can be considered as one. You seek wealth, and I happen to have it here. It was wrong for me to strike you and your men earlier. You can have this Gold Coin.â
âReally!â The Bald Strong Manâs eyes lit up as he reached out to grab it, but Richard swiftly withdrew his hand, letting the Bald Strong Man grasp at empty air. Realizing that Richard still had more to say, the Bald Strong Man looked towards him with an awkward smile, âMy lord, please, continue.â
Richard continued, âIndeed, it was wrong of me to strike you, but the reason Iâm giving you money is not to compensate for anything. The main reason is that I canât be bothered with trouble and plan to settle this matter with money. However, to be clear, although I canât be bothered with trouble, Iâm not afraid of it. If you take the money and still plan to do something, then donât blame meâsometimes, money isnât so easy to take.â
With that, Flames suddenly burst from Richardâs hand, burning for a few seconds before extinguishing, and he loosened his grip. The scalding Gold Coin, showing signs of melting, dropped straight to the ground as Richard stood up and walked straight out of the tavern.
The Bald Strong Manâs eyes widened as he watched Richard leave. After a long moment, he slapped his forehead and exclaimed, âI remember now; I remember who he is!â
âBoss,â a subordinate quietly approached, âBoss, should I follow him and see?â
âLook at what, damn it! Didnât you hear what the guy just said, didnât you see the Flames that burst from his hand! That kid is from the White Stone Tower Academy; do you really want me dead!â the Bald Strong Man glared angrily at his subordinate.
âNo, boss, I wouldnât want you dead,â the subordinate cowered and spoke.
âI think thatâs exactly what you want. When I was getting beaten earlier, I saw how quickly you cowered,â the Bald Strong Man grew angrier as he spoke. He slapped his subordinate to the ground, took off his jacket, wrapped it around the hot Gold Coin, and waved a hand, âRetreat!â
âYes.â A large group of men followed the Bald Strong Man out the door, and the subordinate who had been knocked down also quickly followed.
After a while, when the people had left, a âstabbedâ man on the tavern floor slowly sat up, looked around in a daze. The next moment, he ran out quickly, shouting as he ran, âMu Duo Boss, Mu Duo Boss, wait for me, wait for me! I tried my best; you canât leave me behindâŠâ
White Stone Tower Academy.
Richard and Gro walked back, moving along the cobblestone paths of the academy.
At an intersection, Gro saw Richard preparing to walk in one direction and spoke up with slight confusion, âLord Richard, the direction youâre heading to, seems to be the dormitory, right?â
âYes,â Richard didnât deny and nodded in explanation, âI plan to stay at the academy for the night.â
âAh!â Groâs eyes widened as if he heard something unbelievable, âAre you sure?â
âIs there a problem?â Richard asked, âIâve paid the dormitory fees, there shouldnât be any issue staying there, right?â
âUh, I didnât mean that, itâs just that you havenât stayed at the academy for a long time, and suddenly returning is a bit strange,â Gro said with a weird expression.
That is indeed true. Richard nodded. âIt is strange, but having lived outside for a long time, coming back to reminisce is completely justifiable, isnât it?â
âWell, okayâŠâ Gro continued with a strange expression and slowly spoke, âSince thatâs the case, then see you later. Tonight, I need to attend Professor Patissâs class, so I canât accompany you. We can chat another time.â
âSure, weâll chat another time.â Richard waved goodbye to Gro. Gro walked towards another direction at the intersection of the cobbled road, while Richard headed towards the dormitory.
Night had fallen in a flash.
âCreak, creak, creakâŠâ
The old wooden staircase made a creepy noise, and Rose frowned in disgust as she stepped up to the second floor.
Rose had been dazed and busy all day, and now she felt extremely tired, really wanting to lie on her soft bed and sleep. She looked up at her room door, let out a sigh, and quickened her steps.
Just then, a door halfway up suddenly opened.
âAh!â
Rose was startled, involuntarily crying out, and instinctively dodging to the side, her back went âbangâ against the wall. Her face showed four parts pain, three parts shock, two parts surprise, and one part anger.
You couldnât blame Rose for such a reaction; it was entirely because the room next door had been unoccupied for too long. Rose even secretly hoped that perhaps the person who lived there might have died.
Someone she thought was dead suddenly appearing would naturally be startling. Rose felt her heart âthumpingâ non-stop, almost flying out of her throat, and she couldnât help but soothingly place her hand over it. However, soon, Rose realized her reaction was quite unbecoming and forced herself to calm down. She cleared her throat, stood up straight, tidied her hair, glared at the person who opened the door, and shouted, âWhat are you doing! Havenât you seen a beautiful woman before?!â
âIâve seen beautiful women, but⊠not in such a disheveled state,â the person inside the room said slowly, making Roseâs teeth itch with irritation.
âIs it wrong that I accidentally slipped! Making a big deal out of nothing!â Rose explained loudly, then became cautious because she noticed the person inside starting to come out, slowly approaching her with seemingly bad intentions.
âHey, what do you want to do!â Rose shouted, yelling at the person inside the door, âI warn you, if you dare have any bad ideas about me, youâll regret it. I can easily call a crowd to take care of you. Believe it or not, you⊠ah, let me go, letâŠâ
âBang!â
The opened door was shut, and Rose was forcibly pulled inside by the person who opened the door.
