However, the only thing that made Thunder a bit worried was that he didn’t know if these Five-Colored Divine Thunder Talismans would still work now! Logically speaking, magical elements and spiritual energy come from the same source, so they should be usable.

Moreover, even if he had gained the upper hand in the scuffle this time, it wouldn’t be enough to intimidate this rich bumpkin. Only by relying on the title of a magician—the uncrowned noble—could he eliminate future troubles and make sure the rich man would never dare to set his sights on Tiffany again.

With a casual flick, he channeled the magic power within his body and aimed at the open ground in front of Angus. After years of practice, Thunder could now cast this talisman with extreme ease.

With a loud “boom,” a bolt of thunder struck right in front of Angus on a clear day. The lightning, as thick as a snake, made the rich man’s vision blur, and he fell to the ground in terror.

The effect was so good that not only did it make the faces of several guards turn ashen and tremble like leaves, but even Thunder himself was greatly surprised.

He could never have achieved this level before. It seemed that the immense magic power brought by the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl in his body could not only be used for talismans, but also increase their power.

“Ah... ah...” Angus scrambled backward in panic, shouting in terror. The blinding light, as bright as day, still left him unable to see clearly, but his fear of magic made his heart pound with dread.

“Boom!” Another loud crash, and a bolt of lightning struck in front of several guards, blasting a hole in the ground. The guards fell to their knees with a thud, begging for mercy in unison.

“Colin young master, I was wrong, please don’t kill me! I beg you, don’t kill me!” Angus was in tears, a foul stench emanating from him.

Faced with the noble status of an uncrowned noble, faced with the powerful magician, these ordinary people had no power to resist.

“Get out! Don’t let me see you again!” If not for the virtue of mercy, Thunder would have struck this bastard dead with a talisman already.

Hearing Thunder’s words, the guards felt as if they’d been granted amnesty, scrambling to Angus’s side, lifting him up, and fleeing out the door in a flash.

Turning his head, Oak uncle and Tiffany girl both had stars in their eyes.

“Told you, young master’s got the Shaking-Head Frightening Thunder Golden Lightning Talisman! Do you believe it now?”

Tiffany nodded vigorously.

Chapter Four: I Burned It

Watching Angus roll out the door, Thunder finally turned and extended his large hand to Tiffany, “Where’s the contract?”

The little girl glanced up at Thunder, saw his face didn’t look good, and quickly lowered her head again, timidly taking out the contract and handing it to Thunder: “Young master, Tiffany was wrong.”

Tiffany had been bought by Colin’s late father when she was very young. As a slave, without the owner’s permission, it was impossible to transfer ownership.

“What did you do wrong?” Thunder took the deed of sale without even glancing at it.

“Tiffany shouldn’t have acted on her own.” The little maid twisted her clothes, her little head almost drooping to her chest.

“Young master...” Oak uncle tugged at Thunder’s sleeve from the side, “Tiffany only did it for this family.”

“I never said I blamed her!” Thunder understood what they meant, and gently tapped Tiffany’s little head. “I knew you’ve been troubled these days. Were you planning to sell yourself to support the family?”

Tiffany said nothing, tears streaming down her face.

“Silly girl!” Thunder sighed and patted Tiffany’s head.

“Don’t ever think like that again. I may have been powerless before, but from today on, no one can bully my people anymore!” Thunder’s words filled Oak uncle with joy.

“Young master can actually use magic! Now the Ullman family has hope for revival!” As he spoke, he actually burst into tears.

Thunder understood how they felt—coming back from the depths of despair to paradise, there was bound to be some emotional whiplash.

Looking at the deed of sale in his hand, Thunder used all his strength to tear it apart.

With several ripping sounds, by the time Tiffany looked up again, Thunder had already torn several gashes in it.

“Young master, what are you doing?” Tiffany rushed over, trying to snatch back her deed.

“From today on, there are no slaves in our family!” Thunder threw the pieces of parchment on the ground and stomped on them hard.

“That’s how it should be, that’s how it should be!” Oak uncle nodded from the side. The contributions Tiffany had made over the years were seen by both Oak and Colin. Even without this piece of paper, Tiffany was still a member of the Ullman family.

“Young master...” Tiffany’s beautiful big eyes were full of emotion.

Thunder glanced at Tiffany, reached out and wiped the tears from her face. “Why are you still crying? Go wash your face and get ready for dinner.”

“Tiffany is happy.” The little girl looked up and gave a brilliant smile.

Who would have thought that the down-and-out young master of the Ullman family would suddenly become a noble magician? Whether it was Oak uncle or Tiffany, both felt that fate had played a huge joke on them.

The empty dining hall had only one table and a few chairs; everything else had been sold. Thunder ate his flatbread while piling food onto Tiffany’s plate.

“With such skinny arms and legs, eat more!” Thunder glared when Tiffany tried to put the food back, and the little girl immediately obeyed.
