Fang Ping's expression was sorrowful. Manstein could be considered his best friend. The two of them could also be considered friends despite their age difference.
He did not expect his second friend to leave him so quickly.
At this moment, there was only one thing Fang Ping could not understand.
That was the evaluation of the investment system.
Manstein was clearly going to die, but why did the investment system still want him to save the other party?
Was this considered an investment?
If it were anyone else, they would have to put in a lot of effort and pay a huge price to obtain the royal sacred medicine.
In the end, the target died in a few days?
How was this an investment?
Moreover, Fang Ping clearly remembered that the mission of saving Manstein was marked with purple investment potential!
Fang Ping could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it. For the time being, he could only put this question aside.
With Manstein dead, the matter of his funeral still needed to be dealt with quickly.
However, just as Fang Ping told the butler this bad news, his gaze suddenly became incomparably sharp.
He immediately said to the butler beside him, "Find a safe place to stay first. There are more reckless and dirty things in the castle!"
The butler seemed to have understood something. After reminding Fang Ping to be careful, he quickly left.
Fang Ping specially came to an empty space outside the castle to prevent the battle from destroying the castle later.
Just as he stood in the middle of the empty space, the sound of wind breaking came from behind.
A dagger was ruthlessly stabbed into the spot where Fang Ping had been standing just now.
The person attacking did not expect Fang Ping to realize his existence and even dodge this attack.
The attacker retreated after a single attack and stood not far away, staring fixedly at Fang Ping.
Fang Ping turned around and saw the attacker's face clearly.
He vaguely recalled that this guy seemed to be someone beside Leon.
"Why did you come to kill me?"
Fang Ping asked despite knowing the answer.
The attacker sneered and said, "Hehe, is there a need to ask? You offended someone you shouldn't have and interacted with a woman that doesn't belong to you. You naturally deserve to die!"
Fang Ping revealed an innocent expression.
"I only danced with Kallen? Moreover, I've never heard of Kallen being someone else's woman. Where is this coming from?"
The attacker said matter-of-factly, "Anyone Young Master Leon likes is his woman! I won't waste my breath on you. I advise you not to struggle too much. I might even be able to give you pain.
"Perhaps after you die, I'll even use the reward Young Master Leon gave me to give you a dignified funeral."
Fang Ping spread his hands helplessly.
"Unfortunately, I don't want to die."
"Hehe, that's not up to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the attacker attacked Fang Ping again, more fiercely than before.
Fang Ping did not show any mercy either. He was furious that the other party wanted to take his life for such a small matter.
Moreover, Manstein was Fang Ping's good friend and his benefactor. Now that the other party had died, Fang Ping was already filled with anger.
At this moment, someone suddenly came to cause trouble. This person had simply bumped into Fang Ping's gun!
However, just as Fang Ping was about to fight, a loud cry sounded from afar.
A wind-breaking sound came. A fiery red figure appeared in front of Fang Ping and blocked the attacker's attack.
This seemed to be a bird-type demon beast?
Fang Ping was stunned for a moment. At first, he did not recognize this guy.
However, Fang Ping quickly sensed a familiar aura from this red firebird.
Fang Ping asked tentatively, "Roly Poly?"
Hearing this cry, the red firebird suddenly let out an excited cry and flapped its wings twice, looking happy.
It seemed to be because Fang Ping had recognized it.
"It's really you, Roly Poly. You've really changed a lot. I almost couldn't recognize you."
Fang Ping looked at Roly Poly in front of him in surprise.
It was no longer the little guy who had just broken out of its shell more than a year ago.
After spreading its two wings, Roly Poly could even completely envelop Fang Ping.
Roly Poly suddenly called out twice, and Fang Ping surprisingly understood its words.
"Are you going to help me teach that guy a lesson?"
Roly Poly nodded.
Fang Ping smiled slightly, like an old father watching his child finally grow up.
He nodded and said, "Haha, since you're so confident, I'll hand this guy to you."
"Be careful!"
Fang Ping retreated more than ten meters and paid attention to Roly Poly's battle with some interest.
He also wanted to see what combat strength Roly Poly had after completely absorbing the blood essence of the ancestor.
Roly Poly had absorbed the blood essence of the bird ancestor, the phoenix. After absorbing it for so long, it had clearly undergone a huge transformation.
Although it did not look particularly similar to the Phoenix in Fang Ping's impression, it had already begun to evolve in that direction.
Fang Ping was increasingly looking forward to the surprises Roly Poly could bring him in the future.
After this little guy completely evolved, perhaps it could really become a true phoenix?
The attacker suddenly discovered that his opponent had changed. However, he did not stop attacking.
His every move was aimed at the other party's vital points and he even wanted to directly cut Roly Poly's neck.
However, Roly Poly had clearly not spent the past year in vain. Moreover, its strength was no longer the same as before.
The battle had been one-sided from the beginning.
The attacker's attack could not break through Roly Poly's defense at all.
Moreover, once Roly Poly entered a combat state, its entire body would burn with raging flames. These were not simple flames.
It was a true fire with an extremely high temperature!
Moreover, once it touched the enemy, these flames were extremely difficult to extinguish. They would not stop until the entire body of the person infected was burned to ashes!
The battle only lasted for a few minutes. When Roly Poly realized that the other party was not his match, it began to play with the attacker.
It kept torturing his opponent like a cat playing with a mouse, finally making the attacker die in endless pain.
His body was completely burned to ashes, not even a trace of ashes was left.
After the battle ended, Roly Poly retracted the flames burning on its body and returned to Fang Ping.
It kept howling, as if it was asking for credit.
Fang Ping smiled and reached out to rub the little guy's furry head. Roly Poly immediately spun around in front of Fang Ping excitedly.
Even though they had not seen each other for more than a year, the relationship between the man and the beast was still closer than before.
Seeing his demon beast companion again temporarily dispelled the negative feelings Manstein's death had brought to Fang Ping.
However, this did not mean that Fang Ping did not care about the trouble Leon had caused him.
Wasn't it just a dance with Kallen? Was there a need to send someone to kill him?
How narrow-minded and extremely self-centered was the other party?
If he let such a person live, who knew how many innocent girls he would harm!
"Roly Poly, let's go and fight the bad guys!"
Fang Ping immediately decided to bring Roly Poly along to take revenge on Leon. He had to get rid of the roots!
