Lucifer's Descendant System
chapter-234

Noah was prepared to order the imps to attack the men in front of him. No one had the right to stop him from seeing his brother, least of all people carrying guns and swords, who were apparently soldiers with the possibility that they had been sent to do something bad against Carlos and his family.

But before Noah ordered the imps to kill these men, a voice he knew all too well sounded a little desperate. "Put down your weapons now!"

Hearing that voice, the men lowered their weapons with some reluctance. As much as this knight in front of them was making even the strongest Blessed among them shiver at the aura he radiated, they still knew they should listen to the orders of the owner of that voice.

"Yes, young master Carlos," the captain of that team responded while looking at Noah with an uncertain expression.

As soon as Noah heard Carlos' voice, he also suppressed the very aura of Blessed Rank C that was so oppressing these men in front of him. After all, if these men obeyed Carlos' orders, these men were probably Carlos's people.

Without thinking twice, Noah climbed down from the fiery unicorn with Maggy and removed his helmet from his armor as he walked towards Carlos.

"Oh my god, did that aura come from young Noah?!" one of the men said out loud as he looked at Noah with a shocked expression.

"I can't believe young Noah almost made me piss my pants with just his aura..." another man said.

"I thought young Noah was just a Blessed Rank F. Since when did he become so powerful?!" another man also commented.

Noah did not know any of these men, but that did not mean that these men did not know who Noah was. They were all part of Carlos' family's security team, so knowing who Carlos' best friend was was essential to their job, even more so, since a few had seen Noah walking in and out of the property over the past few years quite often.

Who would have thought that this young man, who was always so peaceful and harmless, in such a short time would become this intimidating figure of a fire knight that could strike terror into the hearts of these men just seconds ago.

Unfortunately for these men, Noah had no idea what they were thinking. The only thing he cared about at the time was Carlos' safety, and seeing his brother alive and right in front of him now took a heavy burden off his heart.

"What happened Carlos? Why are there so many armed men around your house? I almost killed them all to get here," Noah asked urgently.

"Oh my god, I'm glad you didn't. These men are from my family's security team. They're all men very trusted by my father, who he called to protect us. After all, we're not Blessed, or rather... my parents are not Blessed," Carlos explained.

"But what's the problem that made you call me for help?!" Noah asked impatiently.

"So... as my family is involved in a lot of business, it's natural that disputes occur. But this time the competing family went too far and a spy of my father's found out that they hired Shadow S to come after us..." Carlos explained.

Hearing that, Noah's eyes widened for a split second, before turning to fury.

"Brother, who is Shadow S?" Maggy who was beside them asked worried, even more after seeing the expression on Noah's face. She felt that there was something wrong with this 'Shadow S'. After all, her brother was very strong and she didn't expect anyone could threaten him.

"Shadow S is a Blessed Rank C from Eyrin City. Not only is he a Blessed Rank C, but he is also one of the only Blessed Rank C who is not related to any powerful family. He acts as a mercenary in the city. As long as any family is willing to pay the price he charges, he will complete the task. It is rumored that he has even killed another Blessed Rank C for a multi-million dollar reward," Noah explained patiently.

Hearing this, Maggy was alarmed and enraged. "And why don't the police arrest him?! He's a murderer!"

Hearing this, Carlos sketched an older brother's smile that had to explain something simple to his younger sister. "He has never shown his face anywhere, always using the shadow to hide himself. And even if the police knew about his identity, where would the police have the strength to capture a blessed Rank C that has already killed another blessed Rank C? That's the reason why I worry so much this time, to the point of having to ask Noah for help."

"Don't worry. With me here he won't be able to touch you," Noah assured Carlos. As much as Carlos was like a brother to him, Carlos' family was also like family to him, welcoming Noah as another son after his mother's death. So just as Noah wouldn't let anyone do any harm to Maggy, he wouldn't let anyone do anything bad to Carlos's family either.

"With you here I am more relaxed. My parents are worried, but I assured them that you are capable of protecting us, and of course, you will not be alone. Even if I have to give up my life, I will fight by your side and prevent Shadow S from being able to do something against my parents," Carlos said with conviction.

But unlike what he imagined, instead of Noah praising him, Noah just looked him up and down before saying, "Blessed at the peak of Rank E... You are growing fast. In a few days you will almost be at Rank D; your strength is greater than I expected. But unfortunately, this is not enough to handle a Blessed Rank C."

Carlos was prepared to refute Noah, until Noah continued saying, "Do me a favor. Take Maggy to the bunker your parents are in, and stay there with her. It will be a bigger help than trying to be by my side. Without you guys around here I can fight him without any worries," Noah asked.

As much as Carlos didn't want to admit it, what Noah said was true. As fast as he had grown up and this was a source of pride for both him and his family, it still wasn't enough to get into a battle with a Blessed Rank C. On the contrary, staying here with Maggy would only serve as a distraction for Noah, which could make this battle even more unfavorable than it already was. Reluctantly, Carlos nodded and followed Maggy into the bunker his parents were in.

Shortly after Carlos left, one of the security guards who was strangely lying on the floor stood up urgently and shouted at the team.

"He has arrived! I could hear his footsteps!"

'What a practical Blessing. He can hear footsteps at such a distance just by putting his head on the ground...' Noah thought with interest as he looked at the man who had just screamed.
