Lord of the Truth

Chapter 158 – You Again…

After Robin came out of his seclusion and handed Zara the Major Life Heavenly Law technique, she left everything in her hand and ran happily to her own room… 

She had been waiting for this moment for a long time!

As for the void she left behind as the head Rune Master, Robin decided to fill it.

From his point of view, all the problems that were holding back his force in this world – the Burton family – were dealt with, from the financial basis to provide strong knights to the strengthening of the present old monsters… everything was put into place.

The number of rune masters has also made everything easy, almost all the initial amount that he owes to the Alton and Bradley families has already been made and waiting to be shipped

and now the rune masters are working on providing talismans for the family's army, and to sell to the other families in patches if needed, especially the families of the rune masters, as was agreed before… 

By removing all those obligatory tasks that he was setting his sights on and even providing strong laws for all of his adopted children, now is finally the time to relax and work for the fun of it…

In addition to the hours he spends in the library and the academy every day, Robin added an hour of his time daily to walking around the city to see new faces and watch the changes in the city, and also to hear about his charity…

But he found that week after week, month after month.. the open air restaurants that were designated for distributing food in the city began to decrease instead of increasing, to the point that the last few of the open air restaurants were preparing to close! 

And when he asked about the matter, he found a strange answer… There are no longer poor people in the city!

After they were assured that there were three meals a day, all those who were able to work went out to search for a living without fearing for their children and elders, 

they went to work in the mines, the new beasts' farms, and even the factories of sound talismans carriers founded by Billy

As for the women, who were unable to work hard, they began to work with Uncle Tim Burton himself to produce food for the other poor people, and they were fairly paid for it.

Little by little, no family in the city was left so completely destitute that he could not provide for his daily food and basic necessities! now, almost only the young orphans use it.

Because of this, Uncle Tim asked those in charge of distributing the monthly quota to reduce it from 20 thousand gold coins to less than a thousand gold coins

When Robin heard this, he couldn't believe it… This was a massive economic transformation on the level of a huge city that contains nearly 300 thousand citizens, an entire segment of thousands of people were eliminated in no time!

Something he's never read about before in the grand library!

Seeing that the results were even better than he expected, Robin ordered that the aid be increased to 100,000 gold coins per month and that the charity is to spread over all the ancestral lands of the Burton family, not just Jura City.

"Good morning, Uncle Robin."

"Another beautiful day in Jura city haha"

"I have been appointed as a cook for your charity work sir, thank you!!"

"IT'S YOU..!!"

Robin was enjoying his time and nodding to those around him smiling as usual, until that last angry shout stopped him, when he looked at its source, he found 5 young men at level 11 of knighthood, 

and the one who stood in the middle of them was looking at Robin as if he had killed his father… It was someone Robin knew well, "Oh, halberd ass! What are you doing in my city?"

It was Remus, the son of the one who sent the assassin after Robin…

"Your city? Don't overestimate yourself. I'm here for talismans of course, or else what would bring me to this dirt pit? Listen, just because you and that Caesar of yours are still breathing doesn't mean I have forgotten what happened that day… and seeing you today, It seems fate has chosen you to die first!" Remus replied, sparks shot out of his eyes, and he and his five companions advanced and surrounded Robin.

Robin looked around him as they were trying to block his way to escape, amused, then he asked, " aren't you afraid to cause trouble here? the Burtons aren't a bush over, you know…"

"Humph, just a nouveau riche family with no roots, you still have to progress another few thousand years before you use your family in front of me! then again, and a kid like you thinks that you can represent the Burtons? I will pay them a few copper coins for your head!"

Even if he killed him today in the middle of the street, what would happen? He is the son of a Marquess! 

As long as he doesn't cause trouble in the auction house, the royal family won't bother with anything else

Robin looked at the five who turned around and sighed, this wasn't even funny anymore…

with a quick calculation, he found that he would need 3 attacks to kill the five of them, but he shook his head then raised his face to the sky and roared, "I, Robin Burton, am facing an attempt of murder here, they want to kill me inside Jura! can anyone help me?"

The street has stopped…

In the blink of an eye the passing farmers raised their machetes, the workers rolled up their sleeves, the little children picked up little rocks, a few passing individuals in the Energy Foundation levels took up attack poses and jumped toward the person closest to them.

"You have to kill me first!!"

"None of you will touch him!"

"Get away from my uncle, you bastards!"

The five were astonished by what was happening around them, they could kill every one of those peasants with one hit, and they know it, but they still attacked! 

even if they encountered a situation like this themselves in their city and some thugs tried to attack them, no one in the streets would come to their aid, except perhaps someone much stronger than those who attacked them, and he would help to get a reward, but what they are seeing now…

"You four get those bastards away from me, I'll take care of this kid myself!" Remus gestured to his friends and began pushing all the comers back and fighting the cultivators of the Energy Foundation in order to make a circle around Robin and Remus, who smiled at Robin aggressively, "Who is going to save you now."

Sparks began to explode around his hand as he jumped up and aimed a blow at Robin's neck… only to find himself nailed into his place after only two steps.

An enormous pressure force poured over his head, the strength of someone even stronger than his 29th level Saint Father…

Horror possessed him for a moment after he felt this force, but its owner of this pressure force did not appear, he only kept him fixed in place…

This pressure remained for a few seconds and did not dissipate until another person suddenly appeared behind Remus and grabbed his neck from behind and kicked him behind his knee making him kneel and with the other hand he lit a white flame next to Remus' face as a threat to him not to move

Robin smiled when he saw the man, he was a level 11 knight Fire Legion officer, who was on a patrol around the City, when he heard a noise he came running with those who were with him, then spoke to Robin, "What do you want me to do with him, your excellency?"

Prince Alfred was visiting the fire legion consistently since it was established, and they heard him call Robin *your excellency* all the time and decided to do the same…

If a prince is respecting their own uncle to such a degree, how can they call him with any less in front of strangers?

"You, keep your hand away from Brother Remus!!" One of the four shouted and was about to move with the rest to save their brother, but a few more Knights of the Fire Legion came and quickly did them like their brother.

"Hmmm, Shall we forgive them? No, no, I'm not that generous… Shall I kill them? No, that time for that hasn't come yet… Listen, burn their clothes and hang them naked upside down at the city's main gate, and tell Caesar to come and put another halberd in this guy's ass, But tell him to do it gently and slowly this time…"

"Consider it done, your excellency!" A cruel smile appeared on the knight's face
