"Young Master, look at this!"
At that moment, Ron, who was rummaging through the ruins of the Selhi family's convoy alongside Link, suddenly called out and scampered over, clutching a package with excitement.
"What is it?"
Link raised an eyebrow, instinctively taking the package and opening it slightly.
In the next instant, a rich, alluring fragrance wafted up to him. Inside the package were various delicate pieces of women's lingerie, all clearly belonging to Miss Erin!
"What the hell!"
Link was taken aback, feeling a rush of heat to his forehead, and he couldn't help but spurt out a couple of streams of nosebleed!
However, regaining his composure, he quickly wrapped the package back up and, with a serious expression, said to Ron, "Filth! Ron, we are nobles; we absolutely cannot keep such sordid items!"
"Young Master... do you mean we should throw them away?" Ron asked, bewildered, almost instinctively.
"Decorum! Ron, we are nobles; mind your decorum. Although these items are filthy, if we carelessly toss them aside, what if they hit a child? Even if they don't hit a child, it would be disrespectful to the flowers and plants!"
With that, Link casually tucked the package into his own clothes, his face glowing with righteousness as he declared, "I'll keep these for now. When I find the time later, I'll dispose of them safely!"
Without waiting for Ron's reaction, he turned and walked away, continuing to search for valuables in another area, leaving Ron dumbfounded and his scalp tingling…
Half an hour later!
Under the relentless scavenging of the master and servant duo, not a single member of the Selhi family was spared; everything was turned upside down, leaving not even a copper coin behind…
Through this raid, Link had managed to seize a staggering 6,300 gold coins, not counting other valuables like gold, silver, and jewels!
"This Selhi family is loaded!"
Looking at the bulging pouch of coins in his hand, Link was so excited he nearly shouted out loud!
Originally, his goal was to raid several merchant convoys outside the imperial city to gather the 4,800 gold coins needed for the construction of the "Great Cemetery."
But unexpectedly, just from the Selhi family alone, he had exceeded his target!
This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise!
"Young Master, the Selhi family is a hereditary count family in the empire, one rank higher than our Launs family. They also occupy vast fertile lands, so it's only natural for them to have so much wealth," Ron explained at the right moment.
"I see!"
Link nodded in realization, his gaze drifting back to Erin as he pondered whether to capture her and demand a ransom, given the Selhi family's wealth…
However, just as this thought crossed his mind, it was abruptly interrupted by another one!
Erin's exquisitely beautiful face and her perfectly proportioned figure were stirring something deep within Link, igniting a surge of desire that shot straight to his head!
"Hehe!"
A lewd grin crept across Link's face as he tucked away the pouch, rubbing his hands together with excitement, and then strode towards Erin.
"What do you want? I warn you not to come any closer!"
Seeing Link approach, Erin panicked, desperately trying to back away while fiercely admonishing him!
Unfortunately, she was already tightly bound, and with her magical energy completely depleted, she had no strength left to resist.
"Bastard! If you have any guts, come at me, but don't touch my lady!"
"You'll die a miserable death; the God of Light will punish you!"
At the same time, the Selhi family's guards, witnessing the scene, shouted furiously at Link!
But Link paid them no mind, continuing to walk straight towards Erin until he stood right in front of her!
"Come on, little girl, let's go over to that grove and have a good discussion about life!" Link laughed triumphantly, reaching out to pick up Erin's delicate form!
"You dare! I'll die right here!"
Suddenly, a look of determination flashed across Erin's face, causing Link's outstretched hand to freeze in mid-air.
"Die?"
Link frowned at her words, but then he grinned and said, "You're all tied up; I'd like to see how you plan to kill yourself!"
"I can bite my tongue and die!" Erin replied defiantly, her eyes filled with unwavering resolve, making Link realize she was not lying!
"This..."
Link hesitated; he genuinely feared Erin might go through with it. After all, his original intention was merely to rob for wealth, and the thought of taking advantage of her had only come to him on a whim!
