Elemental Light Mage

Chapter 524 The Boy Who Traveled Across the Ocean

Xi Yeming corrected him, "Just call me Desire Saint or His Royal Highness, don't call me brother."

"Okay, Brother Shengyi." Irene smiled.

Xi Yeming, who was helpless with Irene, turned his head and asked, "How far has the beverage been made?"

Irene confidently declared, "Everything is fine. I think we'll be able to start selling it soon."

A wide variety of beverages are transported by Rock Company into bottles and cans using machinery.

With the eldest princess in charge, the Klinka family carried out its new work smoothly, as if this declining gangster family was on the road to revival.

Nothing went wrong, and Xi Yeming was not a picky person. He simply came to check whether Irene lived up to his expectations.

"Ok?"

Xi Yeming felt someone was looking at him, so he turned his head and saw a young man staring at him.

—One month ago—

Xi Yeming, who had just signed an agreement with the Klinka family, couldn't help but feel concerned about Irene and the others. He decided to check on their living conditions, so he found their new place of residence through Xiyana.

When he arrived at the door, he found that it was not closed, as if it was waiting for him to come. Xi Yeming gently pushed the door open and stepped into the threshold carefully.

As soon as he entered the yard, he heard a sharp sound of a whip cutting through the air. This sound was like a whip lashing at his heartstrings, making his heart tighten suddenly. He couldn't help but speed up his pace, wanting to figure out what was going on.

After entering the yard, he saw a shocking scene. Irene was holding a whip and whipping a boy fiercely. The boy knelt on the ground with his head in his hands, silently enduring this cruel punishment without even a scream.

"Let's see if you still steal! Let's see if you dare to steal again?!" Irene shouted angrily while beating him.

Seeing this, Xi Yeming hurriedly stepped forward and asked loudly, "What happened?"

His voice was like thunder, interrupting Irene's punishment of the boy.

Irene didn't expect Xi Yeming to come, and quickly hid the whip behind her, "Saint Will of Desire, what am I doing..."

"What crime has he committed that he needs to be punished in public?"

The young man, who was able to catch his breath, lay on the ground. With his dying breath, he looked up at his savior with difficulty.

Irene explained in a serious tone: "Reporting to the Holy Will of Desire, this servant has stolen something."

"Stealing something?" Xi Yeming frowned. "What did you steal?"

"food."

"Stealing from whom?"

Irene hesitated for a moment, and under Xi Yeming's authority, she told the truth, "Um, the restaurant where we first met."

That restaurant was the territory of Yishi, which Irene had found out since she just got off the boat. Yishi was conquered by Xi Yeming, so wouldn't stealing the food of Yishi's organization be equivalent to attacking Xi Yeming?

"I thought it was something else, let it go."

Irene's expression twisted as she asked, "Release him?"

"I didn't steal from civilians. Stealing a little food from my subordinates is nothing. When I was starving during the One Year War, I even stole food from General Feizhua and the believers."

The young man looked up at the Holy Will of Desire in disbelief. He thought he had heard wrongly, his mouth slightly opened and his whole body trembled.

Xi Yeming's next words completely exonerated him.

"Let it go."

The young man, who tried hard to suppress his restlessness, straightened up and said, "If you don't kill me, you might regret it in the future."

This sudden statement made everyone present confused. Xi Yeming thought to himself, I was kind enough to let you go, but you installed it on me?

"presumptuous!"

Irene swung the whip and was about to hit him in the face, but she grabbed the whip rope with one hand to prevent the execution of the punishment.

"Holy Will of Desire, you..."

Xi Yeming released Irene's whip and asked the young man, "Why do you say I will regret it?"

"My aunt is Olivia from the United States...!"

Olivia, a legendary magician who was killed by Xi Yeming in the One Year War, was also the leader of the Shakaris United States army at that time.

Her puppet magic almost killed Xi Yeming and polluted half of the world's border areas.

Assuming she was willing to command the army to deal with Xi Yeming, the winner would definitely not be a sixteen-year-old child.

"So you're Olivia's nephew," Xi Yeming walked over to him, "How did you become a servant of the Klinka family?"

The young man turned his face away, as if he didn't want to answer Xi Yeming's question.

Irene put away the whip and came to Xi Yeming's side, "Reporting to the Holy Will of Desire, his name is Gabriel, he fell in front of our family's door before and I kindly picked him up and took him in as a servant."

"Gabriel...?" Xi Yeming murmured.

Needless to say, Xi Yeming could roughly guess that it was because of Olivia's failure that the family was liquidated, and then Gabriel took advantage of the chaos to flee to the Free State of Oribic to live a miserable life.

Xi Yeming leaned down and put his hand on Gabriel's neck. The young man felt that his death was approaching, so he mustered up the courage and did not close his eyes.

"Could it be that the Sacred Will of Desire wants to break his neck?"

Gabriel made a mistake, but Irene needed help right now and was struggling over whether or not to stop Xi Yeming from doing so.

However, Xi Yeming's hand did not tear anything. He smoothed Gabriel's messy hair, performed a magic trick and took out a lollipop and placed it in front of him.

This inexplicable action made everyone laugh, and only Gabriel asked, "What do you mean?"

"Come to my tent, and you won't have to worry about anything."

-Now-

Gabriel stared at the Saint of Desire Xi Yeming with a candy in his mouth. Each of his fingers was holding a silk thread, at the end of which was a puppet doing repetitive assembly line work.

Seeing this, Irene stepped forward and reprimanded, "Hey Gabriel, I clearly told you not to eat during work."

Gabriel remained silent and continued with the task at hand.

"you really……"

Just as Irene was about to take out the whip to punish him, Xi Yeming stopped her.

"Okay Erin, I'll give him the privilege of eating lollipops while he works, so stop punishing him."

"Brother Shengyi, why do you always favor this brat? You have destroyed all my prestige."

Irene puffed out her cheeks, pouted her lips and snorted like a little sister throwing a tantrum at her brother.

Xi Yeming smiled bitterly and comforted her: "I believe that Irene can be a good head of the family. Having one more disobedient servant is of no consequence at all."

After saying that, Xi Yeming walked in front of Gabriel.

"Mo Xuan talked to me before. During the battle with Huang Yichen and Wang Zhimo, a magician with silk threads wrapped around his hands helped them. It was you, Gabriel?"

Wang Zhimo had some skills. If she had hit Mo Xuan, he would have been either dead or injured. Fortunately, the silk thread pulled him and he avoided the attack.

Gabriel remained silent and continued to work with his head down.

Xi Yeming snorted at this and put four lollipops on the table.

"These are from me."
