Chapter 004: Lady Dori

Viscounts were certainly common in the imperial capital, but in the remote Siluo Province, their status was extremely high.
Lady Dori’s husband had also been a very famous figure in Siluo Province. By exploiting his power, he took control of many of the province’s specialty trade operations, making him one of the wealthiest men there.
After her husband died, and after Du Fan took over Siluo Province, Lady Dori turned to business. Leveraging her familiarity with the province and her accumulated wealth, she quickly became one of the top merchants there.
That’s why she was on George’s list of guests—this viscountess, notorious for her promiscuity in Doha City.
“Sir, since you’re new here, how about I explain to you a bit about the customs and culture of Siluo Province when you have time?” Lady Dori said with a smile.
“Wait a moment. I still have things to do with Du Fan right now,” Rob replied bluntly without any hesitation.
By convention, Mr. Rob should have first praised Lady Dori before politely explaining his situation. But such an idiot like Rob, like a tiger that had just rushed down from the mountains, certainly didn’t know such rules.
Hearing Rob’s words, Lady Dori awkwardly withdrew.
At that moment, many women secretly laughed at her embarrassment.
“Du Fan, do you think Lilith will like me in these clothes?” As soon as Lady Dori left, Rob quickly pulled Du Fan aside and asked eagerly.
Hearing this, Du Fan almost spat out in disgust.
What kind of person is this? Does changing clothes really make girls like you? If that’s the case, picking up girls would be way too easy!
If he changed clothes dozens of times a day, wouldn’t that mean he could date dozens of girls a day?
“Rob, is that how interactions work among your Dark Tiger clan?” Du Fan asked in surprise.
“I don’t know either. I rarely spend time with them. Usually, I practice alone,” Rob replied quickly after Du Fan asked.

Just then, Du Fan looked up and saw Lilith standing among a group of girls. Her slightly wild beauty, enhanced by her makeup, even impressed Du Fan. The fact that someone like Du Fan, who was used to seeing beautiful women, was struck by her beauty proved just how extraordinary Lilith’s looks were.

“Rob, you really have great taste! Look at Lilith—tsk tsk, even I’m a bit tempted,” Du Fan praised repeatedly.

Lilith usually didn’t dress up much, but today she had put in extra effort, which truly made Du Fan realize that she belonged to the category of truly stunning beauties.

“Du Fan, don’t try to steal her from me,” Rob said fiercely upon hearing Du Fan’s words.

Hearing Rob’s response, Du Fan was momentarily stunned.

“Haha, don’t worry, Rob. I definitely won’t compete with you,” Du Fan said with a loud laugh after hearing Rob’s words.

As the two were talking, sudden urgent alarm sounds came from outside!

“The Flying Wolves are here again!” Such alarm sounds were already common to these people. For over a month, the Flying Wolves had been harassing them, but they had never seen them break into Dhahra City before. So, upon hearing about the Flying Wolves’ arrival, these people only showed slight reactions without any significant response.

“Du Fan, hurry! The bandits you mentioned have arrived. Let me go up and capture them alive!” Hearing the alarm and news of the bandits attacking, Rob became excited immediately.

“Okay, don’t rush. I’ll arrange it right away. Wait a moment!” After saying that, Du Fan quickly stepped forward.

“Everyone! During my absence, those bandits from the Flying Wolves kept harassing our Dhahra City. Today, as Du Fan is back, I will not allow those bandits to show off their strength in front of our city anymore.” Du Fan stepped forward and announced loudly.

“I, Duke Du Fan, will assign my good brother, Lord Rob, to capture those bandits one by one, to show those bandits the power of Dhahra City! Rob, come here!” Du Fan called out loudly.

As soon as Du Fan finished speaking, Rob rushed over like an arrow, standing tall and proud.

“Rob, it’s up to you to capture those bandits this time! Do you think you can catch them all?” Du Fan asked loudly.

“Yes!” Rob replied loudly.
With that reply, Rob fell into Du Fan’s trap. In front of everyone, Du Fan was clearly giving orders to Rob!
Moreover, Rob was very cooperative, speaking loudly as if a soldier were reporting to his officer.
“Everyone here, are you interested in joining Lord Mengbo to watch Rob capture the Flying Wolf bandits?” Du Fan suddenly said with a smile.
“Lilith, your brother might well have been killed by those Flying Wolves. How about I take you to see firsthand how Rob captures the murderers who could have killed your brother?” Du Fan suddenly said to Lilith.
“Since the lord is inviting me, why not go and take a look?” Lilith replied calmly as usual.
“Haha, good then. Besides Lilith, those who are interested can follow me. Rest assured, I will guarantee your safety,” Du Fan said loudly with a laugh.
Hearing Du Fan’s words, the merchants, nobles, and military officers, especially the generals, followed Du Fan up to the city walls.
From atop the walls, they looked down at a group of forty or fifty bandits sitting on horses, racing along the walls of Doha City.
“Cowards of Doha City? Is no one brave enough to fight us?” one of the bandits shouted as he raced along the wall.
That bandit’s voice was clearly that of Flying Wolf.
“Flying Wolf! You brat, I didn’t kill you last time—how dare you come back? Do you want to die again?” Du Fan suddenly appeared on top of the wall and shouted at Flying Wolf.
Hearing Du Fan’s voice, Flying Wolf was startled. Ever since his fight with Du Fan, all his men had been killed by Du Fan. Deep down, Flying Wolf still had some reservations about Du Fan.
If Ming Wei hadn’t intervened back then, Flying Wolf would likely have died already.
“Du Fan, you’re back?” Flying Wolf remembered Du Fan’s voice from their brief encounter earlier.
“Of course it’s your Duke Du Fan who’s back. Flying Wolf, while I was away, you kept harassing my Doha City. This time, don’t even think about going back!” Du Fan laughed loudly.
“Hmph, Du Fan, aren’t you afraid your tongue will get stuck from talking so big? With just your men, haha, how dare you say you can keep us!” Flying Wolf also laughed.

In the eyes of those thieves from the Flying Wolves gang, if it weren’t for Doha City’s large number of soldiers and strong defenses, they would have long invaded the city. There were no experts above level eight in Doha City at all, while almost all members of the Flying Wolves gang were experts above level eight! That’s why they all laughed at what Du Fan had just said. “Mr. Robb, I’m asking you to step in now and help me take down those thieves!” Du Fan suddenly said with a smile. At Du Fan’s words, Robb immediately responded with an affirmative shout and rushed toward the Flying Wolves gang. A pale green figure with a faint golden edge flew swiftly toward them. Seeing Robb approaching, the members of the Flying Wolves gang were stunned. Judging from Robb’s figure, could he be a wind magic master? If not, how could this man named Robb possess such superb flying skills? But they quickly realized that Robb couldn’t possibly be a wind magic master—after all, no magic master would voluntarily approach the enemy! Suddenly, a term appeared in the Flying Wolves’ minds. As soon as this term came to mind, the Flying Wolves shouted, “Everyone, be careful! This person might be a saint-level expert!” Hearing this, the thieves following the Flying Wolves placed their hands firmly on their weapons, watching warily as Robb rushed at them like a giant bird. When the Flying Wolves said Robb was a saint-level expert, Du Fan almost laughed. It wasn’t surprising—in the eyes of the people on the continent, the saint level was essentially an unattainable pinnacle! But the mere mention of the saint level already frustrated Robb. Saint level? he thought. I’ve long been beyond that! With this frustrated thought, Robb immediately reached out and grabbed at the Flying Wolves. In the Flying Wolves’ eyes, Robb suddenly appeared dull-looking. To them, Robb’s move wasn’t fast, but it gave them an overwhelming sense of helplessness. Facing Robb’s grasp, the Flying Wolves even had the illusion that it wasn’t just a simple grab—it was an all-encompassing attack! From all directions—up, down, left, right—everywhere were Robb’s claws. There was no way to escape!

In the eyes of those around them, strange expressions appeared on their faces. Rob’s grab seemed quite ordinary, yet the Flying Wolf simply stood there motionless, allowing Rob to grab it! Clearly, it could have dodged by tilting to the left or right! Only Du Fan could see the mystery behind Rob’s grab—the force extended by Rob actually locked down the space around the Flying Wolf! It wasn’t that the Flying Wolf didn’t want to move; it simply couldn’t move, as the power of wind elements had locked its surroundings! Under everyone’s puzzled gazes, Rob’s grab landed on the Flying Wolf’s shoulder, and with what appeared to be a gentle toss, the Flying Wolf flew uncontrollably toward Du Fan. With a thud, it landed right at Du Fan’s feet. The Flying Wolf, now on the ground, stared at Du Fan with wide, unbelieving eyes. Du Fan indeed smiled at it, while behind him, nearly a hundred people all looked stunned. The leader of the Flying Wolf bandits, who had plagued Doha City for over a month, was captured so easily by Rob among a group of thieves! “Wow, who is that person the lord brought back? What incredible strength! I heard this Flying Wolf is a level-9 warrior, yet he couldn’t even dodge a single move from Rob!” Immediately, some of the people following Du Fan began to discuss it in detail.
