Chapter 242: Killed with a single arrow
When she tried to resist, she found the terrifying strength of the man.
After forcefully putting things on, his expression turned cold as he dragged her here, causing a commotion.
These thoughts made Lucy truly feel helpless and speechless at the same time.
"I am just a small character. How could I offend any big shot? It must be to attack my young master," Lucy couldn\'t help but curse herself now.
Although she expected it, she didn\'t expect such a shameless way to target her for no reason at all.
Cameron just stood silent as he looked at the man with a frown. Just then, his expression slightly changed, and he immediately turned around with a polite bow.

"I greet Elder Aur."
At this time, the crowd\'s attention was also focused on the white-haired burly youth.
They were quite curious about this extraordinary youth in front of them, who became one of the youngest Elders in the village and almost everyone was dazed by him the moment they looked.
Cameron, after giving a polite bow, looked up at Aur and was immediately stunned beyond shock.
"Why does he feel so different? It feels like he is a different person compared to before, even though his height hasn\'t changed much. No, even if his height increased, it didn\'t feel different at all."
These thoughts made Cameron shocked to the core. It was as if Aur was a different person altogether, and he felt an inexplicable urge to worship him.
"What happened here?" Aur\'s cold voice resounded in the crowd, startling them out of their dazed state.
"Elder Aur," Cameron came towards Aur and slowly whispered words to him, suppressing the shock he felt right now.
As Aur heard Cameron\'s words, he looked at the man who was holding Lucy\'s hand with a deadpan expression.
"Elder Aur, I am not trying to undermine your prestige, but your maid tried to steal—" The man\'s words were cut off suddenly as he saw a small fire coming his way.
With a frown on his face, he hurriedly evaded it and looked at Aur with a ferocious expression.
"Just because you have the status of an Elder and I am treating you respectfully, you, a mere early tier one wizard, dare to attack me?" There were veins protruding from his head with sheer anger. However, his heart was calm and tranquil like an undisturbed lake.
"Oh, Senior brother, what is your name?" Aur asked with an expressionless face while looking at the insignia.
"You must have heard about me. I am Travis, the most genius student of the fifth Elder. Even with your status as an Elder, you should give me respect. After all, strength is respected; a mere status can\'t change anything," Travis said, speaking as if he were the master.
"You have truly enlightened me, Senior brother. How about we have a duel and decide who has the stronger fist?" Aur asked with a curious expression.
"Okay," Travis agreed.
"He has taken the bait, attacking me now. I can retaliate as long as I cripple him. I will gain resources from that person," Travis\'s thoughts swirled as he was extremely confident in his abilities.
Travis was a veteran high-tier one wizard, after all, and the disciple of the fifth elder, while Aur, to his knowledge, was just an early-tier one wizard.
Although Aur might have accumulated many resources from being an Elder, it would still take time for those resources to translate into practice.
Besides, Travis was extremely jealous of Aur. He was just a mere person who had barely entered the tier one wizard realm, yet he dared to occupy an Elder\'s position, in Travis\'s opinion. He didn\'t believe Aur deserved such a position at all.
The only reason Travis hadn\'t acted yet was because Aur was protected, and even though he had the fifth elder as backing, Travis knew that wouldn\'t truly protect him.
Thinking of this, Travis internally smirked, his confidence surging at the thought of the words of that man.
Besides, they were inside the academy, so even if Aur\'s strength exceeded his expectations, Travis didn\'t believe Aur would kill him in the academy, right?
That\'s what he thought.
Just as he was in a dazed state with countless thoughts in his mind, Travis suddenly felt his spine turn cold.
With a sudden movement, he looked up to see a small shadow coming toward him, and in just a second, he saw a red arrow.
"Eh?"
Before he could even react, his vision turned black as he felt the searing heat that melted his body.
Silence.
The crowd was in utter disbelief.
Travis lay on the ground with almost half his body melted and the other half burnt to the brink of being charred.
His blood and everything else had been burnt, and there was still heat emitting from the arrow, which made the crowd retreat.
Just the arrow flickering made the entire place hot and moist before it entirely dispersed into thin air, as if it didn\'t exist in the first place.
And the person who had shot these terrifying arrows was just standing casually, with his hand on a black bow with intricate golden patterns on it.
Aur casually put the bow back into his spatial ring, not even glancing at the half-burnt corpse that lay on the ground.
His gaze returned to Lucy, who was looking at all this with widened eyes, her body still trembling as if she couldn\'t believe it yet.
"I guess I was stronger after all," his cold voice seemed to have made everyone wake up from their terrified state.
"Let\'s go."
"Ye… yes, young master," Lucy said, her expression horrified, or at least showing a horrified expression, before she tiptoed toward him.
"Take care of the corpse and disperse this crowd," Aur lightly said while leaving with her.
"Yes, Elder Aur," Cameron replied, looking at the corpse with a complicated expression.
"Isn\'t he afraid the academy might pursue this matter or the fifth elder might take revenge?" Cameron wondered.
