Chapter 340: The 339th Deep Night, Forcibly Abducting the Princess Chapter 340: The 339th Deep Night, Forcibly Abducting the Princess Richard strode toward the exit of the tavern, stopping at the doorway to turn his head and look at the Bald Strong Man lying on the ground, gazing eagerly up at him.

At that moment, the Bald Strong Man was utterly humiliated but still managed to squeeze out a smile and spoke, “My lord, do you need something else?”

“Do you hate me right now?” Richard asked the Bald Strong Man.

“No,” the Bald Strong Man shook his head vigorously, absolutely certain, “Definitely not.”

“Are you sure?”

“Sure, very sure.”

“I don’t like it when people lie.”

“Uh, well… okay, I do hate you a bit, but that…”

“Good,” Richard spoke. “It looks like you’re quite sincere, so we can spend a minute to talk.”

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, “I don’t care to explore what you’ve 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.”

“Really!” The Bald Strong Man’s 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, “My lord, please, continue.”

Richard continued, “Indeed, it was wrong of me to strike you, but the reason I’m giving you money is not to compensate for anything. The main reason is that I can’t be bothered with trouble and plan to settle this matter with money. However, to be clear, although I can’t be bothered with trouble, I’m not afraid of it. If you take the money and still plan to do something, then don’t blame me–sometimes, money isn’t so easy to take.”

With that, Flames suddenly burst from Richard’s 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 Man’s eyes widened as he watched Richard leave. After a long moment, he slapped his forehead and exclaimed, “I remember now; I remember who he is!”

“Boss,” a subordinate quietly approached, “Boss, should I follow him and see?”

“Look at what, damn it! Didn’t you hear what the guy just said, didn’t you see the Flames that burst from his hand! That kid is from the White Stone Tower Academy; do you really want me dead!” the Bald Strong Man glared angrily at his subordinate.

“No, boss, I wouldn’t want you dead,” the subordinate cowered and spoke.

“I think that’s exactly what you want. When I was getting beaten earlier, I saw how quickly you cowered,” 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, “Retreat!”

“Yes.” 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 “stabbed” man on the tavern floor slowly sat up, looked around in a daze. The next moment, he ran out quickly, shouting as he ran, “Mu Duo Boss, Mu Duo Boss, wait for me, wait for me! I tried my best; you can’t leave me behind…”

…

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, “Lord Richard, the direction you’re heading to, seems to be the dormitory, right?”

“Yes,” Richard didn’t deny and nodded in explanation, “I plan to stay at the academy for the night.”

“Ah!” Gro’s eyes widened as if he heard something unbelievable, “Are you sure?”

“Is there a problem?” Richard asked, “I’ve paid the dormitory fees, there shouldn’t be any issue staying there, right?”

“Uh, I didn’t mean that, it’s just that you haven’t stayed at the academy for a long time, and suddenly returning is a bit strange,” Gro said with a weird expression.

That is indeed true. Richard nodded. “It is strange, but having lived outside for a long time, coming back to reminisce is completely justifiable, isn’t it?”

“Well, okay…” Gro continued with a strange expression and slowly spoke, “Since that’s the case, then see you later. Tonight, I need to attend Professor Patiss’s class, so I can’t accompany you. We can chat another time.”

“Sure, we’ll chat another time.” 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.

“Creak, creak, creak…”

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.

“Ah!”

Rose was startled, involuntarily crying out, and instinctively dodging to the side, her back went “bang” against the wall. Her face showed four parts pain, three parts shock, two parts surprise, and one part anger.

You couldn’t 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 “thumping” non-stop, almost flying out of her throat, and she couldn’t 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, “What are you doing! Haven’t you seen a beautiful woman before?!”

“I’ve seen beautiful women, but… not in such a disheveled state,” the person inside the room said slowly, making Rose’s teeth itch with irritation.

“Is it wrong that I accidentally slipped! Making a big deal out of nothing!” Rose explained loudly, then became cautious because she noticed the person inside starting to come out, slowly approaching her with seemingly bad intentions.

“Hey, what do you want to do!” Rose shouted, yelling at the person inside the door, “I warn you, if you dare have any bad ideas about me, you’ll regret it. I can easily call a crowd to take care of you. Believe it or not, you… ah, let me go, let…”

“Bang!”

The opened door was shut, and Rose was forcibly pulled inside by the person who opened the door.
