Help! I don't want to NTR the protagonist!

Chapter 156: 156. The true advantage of nobility

"Lucius, are you arrogant or have you gone crazy? You really dare to touch the people of the Montford family outside of school grounds; even Sanctuary can't protect you!"

Lucius heard this and smiled. "Of course, I know this, but you're forgetting something."

As he spoke, Lucius walked closer, standing over the pair of twins, his eyes glowing with a deep, bloody light.

"You two snuck out here in secret. Right now, nobody knows where you are. Simply put, even if you were to disappear off the planet, who would suspect me?"

Hearing Lucius's words and seeing the terrifying smile on his face, the two brothers felt their hearts sink. Tyler opened his mouth to speak again, but Lucius was done talking nonsense. Lifting his foot, he kicked Tyler in the head, brutally knocking him out on the spot.

Chris saw the sorry state of his brother and lurched towards Lucius, asking with a sheepish smile on his face, "Can you please be gentler?"

Lucius looked at him and smiled without saying a word. At the same time, he mercilessly raised his leg. Seeing the leg flying towards him, Chris only had one thought on his mind in his last moments of consciousness.

'That vicious red-eyed bastard!'

"Bang!"

A brutal sound echoed as Chris was knocked unconscious in an equally brutal manner.

Lucius looked at the two unconscious twins, and his heart chilled. Although he was confident and almost arrogant during the entire encounter, the power of the pair of magic artifacts and magic scrolls shocked him. If he hadn't prepared properly, he might have let them escape or, even worse, lost the fight outright!

"Let's bring them back for interrogation. Ryan, bring them over."

"Alright, boss, I'm on it."

Hearing this, Lucius couldn't help but pause with a strange expression on his face and asked, "What's with the boss title?"

In response to the question, Ryan just rubbed the back of his head with an embarrassed expression that Lucius hadn't seen in a while. "Well, when other children used to follow around the twins, they either called them boss or young master. I thought young master would be a bit weird, so I used boss. If you want, I could use young master."

Hearing this, Lucius quickly waved his arms. "No! No! Boss is good, let's stick with that."

Ryan nodded with a big smile on his face and hung his shield on his back before lifting both twins with one hand each. He then slung them over his shoulders like sacks of potatoes and walked behind Lucius and the others.

Despite the fight causing quite a bit of noise and disturbance, neither Lucius nor Camilla could detect anybody watching them, but that was to be expected. This was the slums of the outer city that even the imperial guards turned a blind eye to. If someone was too nosy and got involved in a battle, they could be injured or crippled, if not silenced in the aftermath.

Lucius couldn't speak for others, but the very reason he and Camilla were searching was to make sure there were no people who needed to be disappeared. Messing with nobles was too taboo; he couldn't afford to have any accidents.

Luckily for the residents, they all seemed to have their heads screwed on right, and as soon as the sound of fighting was heard, they avoided this place like the plague, saving them from an unfortunate fate.

Seeing that there were no loose ends, Lucius and the others quickly traveled towards the base of the gang headed by Reina. Although this was only a glorified front filled with rabble, it was still a good place to do things not fit for the public eye...
