BXBX NOVEL Chapter 31 Silence
"Yes, Boss," Xiao Wei said, going outside with a shocked face. He saw that on the other side there was a whole new, different world.
Luis watched him go, then turned back toward the vortex. He stepped through it and returned to his own world.
For now, his focus wouldn\'t be on the cultivation world. He trusted Liam and the others to handle the Sirius Gang without his constant involvement.
-----
Luis and Pipi left Ferterra Town together. He was heading towards Hartmann City. His father could return at any moment, and Luis wanted to be there to welcome him.
\'He will definitely be surprised when he knows that I am already an official knight.\'
Luis had a very good relationship with his father and mother. Not just them; he had good relationships with everyone in the Hartmann family.
While reaching towards Hartmann City, he began to think about the history of the Hartmann family.
Thor Firelock, his grandfather, was the third son of Firelock Earl in the Moon Frost province. He was the strongest genius that Moon Frost produced in his generation. He had already created his own name on the battlefield against the Orcs.
At the age of 26, he had already become a third-stage official knight. Thor\'s rise to power seemed unstoppable. He had the chance to step into the 4th-level official knight, becoming one of the strongest people in the kingdom.
However, an incident happened. His grandfather was very high profile, showing his power everywhere. The nobles of Moon Frost Province became wary. Fearing that Thor\'s success would shift the balance of power and elevate the Firelock family above them. So, the nobles formed an alliance.
They feared that if Thor Firelock became a 4th-stage knight. Their living space would be reduced, and it would cause the inevitable rise of Earl of Firelock with them losing some powers.
So, they gathered their knights and attacked the Firelock Earl. This caused an unprecedented war in the peaceful Moon Frost province.
The firelock Earl was fighting against other dozens of nobles. Firelock Earl was not alone, as he had the support of the other 3 nobles. Still, they were constantly losing ground, fighting four against more than dozens.
The war raged for months, and even nobles from neighboring provinces joined in the fight against the Firelock Earl.
Despite the scale of the conflict, the kingdom did not intervene. In the end, the three noble families loyal to the Firelocks were destroyed, and the Firelock family lost everything.
Firelock Earl tried to negotiate with other nobles before, but there was no negotiation. They destroyed the Earl of Firelock with all their strength, without any reserve, as if they had received an order from above.
Thor barely survived this war with injuries. He wouldn\'t survive this slaughter that was aimed at him if he were saved not by the Lily Firestorm.
Lily was the daughter of Firestorm Duke. They both met each other when fighting in war against orcs.
They developed their feelings over time, helping each other in war.
Lily was the daughter of the Firestorm Duke, and she couldn\'t bear to see Thor die. She pleaded with her father, and the Firestorm family intervened just in time to save Thor\'s life.
After the war, Thor was a broken man. His family\'s noble title was gone, their lands reduced to ashes, and the Firelock name was ruined. But with Lily\'s support, he slowly rebuilt his life. He knew, however, that rebuilding his family\'s old glory was impossible.
Still, Thor had a will that refused to fade. He wanted to leave behind his will to his future generations, hoping someday, when they are strong, they could remember him and destroy those dozens of nobles.
He applied to the kingdom to become a pioneer knight. If he could build his own territory in the Northern Wasteland that the kingdom has always wanted to conquer, he could get the nobility back—although only a baron.
To start fresh, Thor changed his name to Hartmann. Although he desired revenge, he didn\'t want his descendants to be consumed by it. His dream was for the Hartmann family to grow strong, not just for vengeance but to reclaim their place in the world on their own terms.
With Lily by his side and a handful of loyal knights—including Biggs, who later became the family\'s gardener—Thor headed for the wastelands. This was the beginning of the Hartmann family, a new legacy forged from the ashes of the Firelocks.
Luis sighed as he thought about his grandfather\'s hardships. Thor had been so close to greatness, only to lose everything in a heartbeat. But despite everything, he had never given up.
Thinking of all this, he reached towards Hartmann City. Luis was very emotional thinking of all this. His grandfather, who had a bright future, lost everything and had to start from the beginning.
\'I will develop in a lowkey manner like my father.\' Luis is the only son of Felipe Baron, and he obviously knows some secret. The strength that the outsiders know of their Hartmann family is fake.
Almost half the strength of Barony is hidden. Hiding like a predator that will attack others at the perfect moment.
His father, Felipe Hartmann, has learned the lessons from his grandfather.
Now, he is also cautious and didn\'t dare to venture too far in Cultivation World. If he meets an immortal fight that can destroy mountains, it will be game over for him. He won\'t even know how he died.
"It\'s been so long since I\'ve seen my mother," Luis said aloud, suddenly thinking of the formidable woman known as the tigress of the Hartmann family.
"I will meet her after she returns. If I go see her now, I have to listen to hours of lectures." He murmured and approached his room.
On the way, he met many maids who bowed to him respectfully. He didn\'t react to this; living as a noble, this is the norm.
After returning to his room, he freshened up and slept soundly. The body should be given proper rest so that it can stay in perfect condition.
However, this was not the case for his knights in Cultivation World. They were ready to attack the Bako Gang.
