BXBX NOVEL Chapter 254 - Clearing The Path
Vesta just nodded in reply and let Desmond out of his room.
As soon Desmond arrived outside the tent with his maids, he looked around and found the captain and Diana had been missing.
"Ah, it looks like that girl has no experience with a man," Desmond spoke and then raised his head to the sky. Upon seeing the blue-vast sky has been replaced by the warm orange sunlight, he immediately headed to his carriage.
" I did not expect the problem can be solved by money and pride." Along the way, Desmond muttered in a low voice. He felt amused remembering the mercenaries\' agreement, especially Ray.
"Maybe because of this the age, where a man words can be trusted, and a men pride will affect his next day life, they can confidently say that way.
"If they lived in my old world, they will surely become the first person to be used or be sacrificed." When Desmond spoke these words, a trace of sadness was seen in his eyes.
Along with some dark memories began replaying on his mind. Therefore, Desmond shook his head to not think about it. " Maybe one day, I can return." He added.
Although he was born in a wealthy and powerful family coupled with a kind and beautiful big sister, still the trust is, his soul was not from this world.
In the end, he would remain alone forever. Now he understands how the protagonist feeling himself.
As he was thinking about it, it seems his fate would end up the same as some of the protagonists in the novels he had read.
Humans were social beings; they can\'t withstand loneliness for a long time. The path of loneliness was tough, leaving behind all of your families, the closest friend even though the person might turn into an emotionless person.
"But that case only works for humans being." Desmond continued and smirked. All of a sudden, the sadness he felt was vanished, replaced by pride and resentment toward humans.
Judging his situation right now, it seemed the Black Dragon inside his body reacting to his words.
On the other hand, Laura and Annie felt complicated by looking at their young master\'s expressions.
For a moment, he looked like a person that could not be approached as if there were invisible barriers near him, then suddenly back to normal but with his eyes filled with determination.
They glanced at each other for a moment, and it seems several years still not enough to understand his character.
Sometimes he was a person kind enough for his subordinates.
Sometimes he became a reasonable person that could negotiate in any business.
Sometimes he would become a mass murder, killing people without blinking.
If not for them witnessing their young master negotiation, ruthless killing, and experiment on the underground beneath their house, they would believe he was a typical rich teenager with a strange hobby.
While Annie and Laura feel in thought, they did not realize Desmond was showing a pained expression with his veins bulged out on his forehead.
"Jezz, this too painful!" Desmond bites his lower lip while clenching his fist.

....
The next day, in the morning. The camps were busy with the soldier bringing pickaxes on their hands and heading toward the blocked path.
In the front of the blocked path, the mercenaries\' leader and Vesta were seen folding their arms with their brows knitted.
Although they had prepared, still upon witnessing the soldiers could not break the rocks instantly, they could not help but feel disappointed by the result.
With the average strength of the soldiers coupled with the members of Corps of Teleknights and seeing the number of the rocks blocking the path, they estimated it would take five days to clear even with they teamed up.
Adding their strength, it can be faster at least it reduced to three days. Yet, that was not the problem; the main problem lay after traveling for one month more and continued battling.
At first, they did not expect they need to battle this much. After all, this mission just escorting people to the other city, eventually resulting in their reserved food were running low.
Not far from their locations, Diana was currently sitting near her carriage with a soldier stood and guarding beside her.
Her eyes constantly peeked at the other carriages, where Desmond and his maids were resting. Yesterday she could not meet him face to face along with her father.
She hated herself for being a coward, but her body did not budge. Eventually, she was too shy and got back to her carriage with the captain.
Right now, she kept looking at his carriage, hoping he too came out and talk to him a bit. She had already forgotten about Laura\'s provocation and the thought of challenging him. All she wants right now was to meet him personally to calm her heart.
Meanwhile, inside Desmond\'s carriage, Laura was seen using a small broomstick to clear the dust on the bookshelf while Annie was preparing a set of tea.
After the negotiations yesterday, Desmond was always seen swinging his wooden sword in the middle of the room. His upper body was exposed, revealing his six-pack abs and muscled arms.
"One...Two... " Desmond muttered. A bead of sweat kept dripping from his body, resulting in the wooden floor became wet. His eyes were too focused on the sword view as if that was only his sword on his mind.
*crack*
The sound of broken wood was heard, along the floor beneath him suddenly cracked, resulting in a pattern of spiders spreading around his feet.
When the maids saw this, they shook their heads as if this has become an everyday scene while Desmond was feeling disappointed
Ah... for the first time, I don\'t feel good gaining a sudden strength, Desmond cursed inwardly. He was frustrated could not control his strength after all night long.
Desmond could feel his bones stiffened because of continuous training, and large black eyes bags were seen under his eyes. In addition, his arms were shaking hardly. In the end, he dropped the wooden sword with his butt hit the floor.
Luckily he managed to hold back his strength yesterday but resulting in his pained body right now.
He did his training inside the carriage not because he was embarrassed about his body when compared to Gregory or other mercenaries, but because he did not feel comfortable with their lustful look at his maids.
Yesterday was okay because he did not stay too long outside, but what if they did more intolerable actions? Bringing a beautiful woman was the same as asking for trouble.
