Kaito had not yet had time to speak when he was silenced by Noan''s punch.

    Noan''s punch was so strong that it made Kaito fall backwards, and roll a few times on the ground before stopping.

    Kaito gritted his teeth, feeling both angry and scared. Only a few days had passed, not even seven days, but why had Noan''s power become so terrifying?

    He felt confused, but now was not the time for him to think about that.

    Noan walked up to him, his eyes filled with coldness, holding the phone up in front of him: "I have paid off all my debt to you."

    "Before, you hit me with a metal baseball bat; now, my fist has also taken back that debt."

    "Your subordinates beat me; I also beat them."

    "There is no debt between you and me now. But if you want to continue playing, I will play with you."

    Kaito looked at Noan''s phone screen; a notification appeared that the transfer was successful.

    In reality, Noan only owed 20 million credit points, but the amount he transferred to Kaito was 30 million points.

    Noan frowned and said: "The remaining 10 million is the hospital fees for you and your subordinates."

    Kaito sighed, spat out a mouthful of blood, then raised his thumb in front of Noan: "You... did very well! Consider it that you and I no longer owe each other anything."

    Hearing that, Noan turned around and left, leaving Kaito kneeling on the cold floor.

    He looked at Noan''s back, feeling uncomfortable.

    But even if he was upset, there was nothing he could do. After all, the other party was a lord, and besides, his strength was also extremely overwhelming.

    Most special of all is the strange power that can imprison him.

    Kaito shuddered; he thought Noan was just an F-rank Lord who couldn''t summon any powerful heroes.

    However, he was wrong. A hero who could use their abilities freely in the human region was definitely a high-ranking hero.

    At least rank D.

    Can a rank F Lord summon a rank D Hero?

    Maybe, but the odds are very low, about as low as the odds of someone dying from falling into a sewer.

    Because of that, Kaito felt like Noan was hiding something. However, this wasn''t his problem, but the other Lords'' problem.

    ''Alright. The money is in hand, and there''s an additional 10 million points; it''s good to endure a little pain.'' Kaito thought to himself, then decided that from now on, he wouldn''t let Noan''s younger brother borrow money again.

    ...

    Noan went out, and Vylyss also appeared, walked beside him, and happily said: "Master, did I do well?"

    Vylyss was currently wearing a black dress and a mask on her face. Her wings, tail, and two horns were also hidden by her, making her look no different from an ordinary woman.

    "Very good!" Noan smiled, patting her head.

    Vylyss reached out her finger and stroked his neck: "If I do well, will I get any reward?"

    Noah: "..."

    ...

    He went to the reception hall, saw Maya, and showed a friendly smile.

    She saw him and smiled, a smile that carried a bit of shyness and happiness.

    Urlgug gritted his teeth; a hint of worry and fear appeared on his face, and then he lowered his head and said: "Master... Urlgan has been captured."

    "What?!"

    ...

    In a rather dark and damp place.

    Urlgan''s limbs were chained and hung from a wall made of extremely sturdy marble.

    Surrounding him were two people in black robes. If Noan were here, he would definitely recognise that the two were probably from the same organisation as Isabell.

    "Strange..." A man spoke up: "It''s a high orc, but it has the ability to use the Abyssal Beast''s enhancement ability."

    "Not really." The man said, "What this monster uses isn''t magic, but rather a kind of talent."

    "But that''s even stranger. The High Orcs have never possessed this kind of talent. If they possessed such terrifying talent, I''m afraid their rank could be on par with the Elves."

    "Or... this monster has mutated, right?"

    "No... I feel..."

    "You have a surprise for me." Suddenly, a woman''s voice rang out.

    The two men immediately bowed their heads and shouted in unison, "Captain."

    At this moment, a woman in a black robe entered inside.

    Although the robe had a hood, covering the upper half of her face, just based on the lower half of her face, one could tell that this woman was extremely beautiful.

    However, her lips are painted purple, along with her snow-white skin, making her even more mysterious and extremely dangerous.

    Like a poisonous apple, anyone who sees it can only stay away.

    If Noah were here, he would definitely recognise this woman.

    Yes, she was the one who summoned the Lickers to attack his territory, Isabell.

    She looked towards Urlgan, who was chained to the wall by strange black chains, his face and body covered in wounds, some of which were even bleeding.

    "Ah! This is... that brat''s High Orc." Isabell used her slender fingers, which were also painted an eerie purple, to gently stroke her alluring lips.

    "Akai, Aki, have you guys gone to that brat''s territory?"

    Aki hurriedly said, "That''s right, Captain. I wanted to go check out what was special about that brat, but by the time Akai and I arrived, he had already returned to the city."

    "However, there were two high orcs patrolling around his territory."

    Akai sighed at this moment: "Captain, you don''t know how hard Aki and I have worked. He and I only wanted to capture those two monsters for research, but we didn''t expect them to be different from normal monsters."

    "Hm?!" Isabell wore a smile full of interest and stood in front of Urlgan, who looked as if he was unconscious.

    "High Orc? Isn''t that normal?"

    "That''s right." Hearing Isabell, Aki hurriedly replied, "Although they were only D-rank, level 0 monsters, it took a lot of effort for Akai and me to capture one; the remaining high orc could use magic, so it luckily escaped."

    Isabell smiled, her fingernails lightly brushing against Urlgan''s chest.

    Right now, from the position where her fingernails touched Urlgan''s chest as the centre, countless strange symbols spread throughout his body, emitting an eerie purple colour.

    Urlgan suddenly opened his eyes wide; from within his eyes, a dazzling purple light emitted.

    GRRRRRR!!!!
