Chapter 349: Our Hero, Casey

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“My head hurts so much.”

Casey woke up in the blinding sunlight and found himself lying on the ground. The ropes that bound his body were torn, and his clothes were wet as if he had been soaked in water.

His eyes widened as a memory flooded into his mind. Watson was negotiating with a mermaid that he had once captured. He even tied him to a chair and knocked him unconscious with a vase.

“D*mn you, Watson! I will definitely not let you off!”

Casey screamed as he struggled to get up from the chair. During that time, he had touched the wounds on his body that had not yet healed. He was in so much pain that he broke out in cold sweat.

The scene he saw after he stood up made him even more confused. The wall had been smashed, and a huge hole had appeared. The things in the room were in disarray. The bed, the table, and many chairs were shattered into pieces. He did not know when the roof had disappeared. The sun shone directly on him from the dome, and he could not help but turn his head away.

There was a loud noise from outside. It seemed that many people were walking past, and he did not know what to say. Suddenly, the footsteps outside stopped near the room he was in, and the sound became apparent.

“I heard a scream from inside that room. There might be survivors. Everyone, follow me in to take a look! I hope that person’s injuries aren’t too serious. There are currently too many injured people at the Crystal Palace. There are at least tens of thousands of them. We can’t provide enough priests to treat them anymore.”

Then, a few people walked into the room. When they saw Casey, who was in a sorry state, their expressions changed simultaneously.

“Who are you? What happened here?” Casey asked. As soon as he finished speaking, the new arrivals knelt in front of him, trembling. Their eyes were filled with respect and a hint of admiration.

“Young Master Casey! You are Young Master Casey, right?”! When you disappeared from the lake surface outside the floating city, everyone thought you had lost your life in the battle with the sea tribe. They did not expect that you would come back alive. This means that you killed those sea folks, including that platinum-tier sea folk, right?”

Battle with the sea folks?

Platinum-tier sea folk?

A few big question marks appeared above Casey’s head. He was dumbfounded. When had he ever done such a thing? Was he crazy, or were those people in front of him crazy?

When they saw Casey’s puzzled expression, they looked at him as if they understood what he had gone through. “We understand; you don’t want us to publicize what has happened here. After all, you’ve been hiding your strength. However, many people have seen what you’ve done. Now that most of the people in the Crystal Palace know about your power, it’s impossible to hide it even if you want to.”

“Wait a minute, what happened just now?”

Casey’s expression darkened. Those people spoke so truthfully that it did not seem like they were lying to him. He had fainted there and did not do anything at all, yet those people had seen him outside. There was only one possibility, and that was that someone had used his identity. Watson’s face flashed through his mind, and he gritted his teeth.

He had knocked him out, and he had also used his identity to cause trouble. That b*stard!

….

‘Is Watson a good person?’

It had been half an hour since those people had found him. They had described what had happened outside, including how Casey had been to the auction house and upstaged everyone there. All the women had fallen in love with him. He even bought all the items in the auction house and fused them into a powerful platinum-tier item.

Apart from that, Casey also heard how he had bought the mermaid princess and ended up fighting about 300 rounds with the sea folks who had come to rescue her. He had successfully defeated them and protected the Crystal Palace.

In just half an hour, Watson’s position in Casey’s heart had changed from a b*stard to a good person.

He had already made the mental preparation. If Watson had changed into his identity and did something terrible, he would persuade his father to refuse Watson’s request to participate in the trial and take revenge on Watson. However, he was no longer sure.

“Are you serious? People outside are saying that I’m a hero of the floating city?”

“That’s right, Young Master Casey. If it weren’t for you, I’m afraid that more than half of the people in the Crystal Palace would have died because of the attack. But now, most of them are only injured. If you don’t believe me, you can go out and take a look.”

The few of them had been talking for half an hour, but Casey felt as if it had been a lifetime. One of the man’s lips twitched—he thought that Young Master Casey was a fine actor. No wonder they had been deceived by the rumors, thinking that he was a good-for-nothing young master.

“Take me there.”

Without any hesitation, Casey gestured for the people in front of him to get up and walk outside.

When he arrived there, the midday sunlight once again stimulated his vision. After he got used to it, Casey found that the Iris Flower Tavern had almost been demolished. The street that it was connected to had widened. There were many people on the road, cleaning the shattered walls and transporting them outside.

The residents were excited to see Casey.

“Young Master Casey! It’s our hero—Casey. He’s back!”

One of the residents had cried out in surprise, and it had caused a great uproar in the surroundings.

“What? Young Master Casey is back? Where is he? Let me see him.”

“Casey had protected us, but he had disappeared when he fought the sea tribe. I was worried that he would be in danger! Fortunately, the gods blessed him, and he came back safely.”

The residents gathered around Casey and looked at him with burning eyes. Many of them were clapping enthusiastically. That scene made Casey feel a little better. Whenever he walked into the Crystal Palace, even if the people who saw him were respectful toward him, there was always a hint of disdain in their eyes. He knew that it was very difficult for the residents to have a good impression of him after what he had done. However, Casey felt good when he saw the heartfelt gratitude and respect of those people.

“Young Master Casey, can you tell us why you have been hiding your strength all this time, allowing others to insult you? And why did you show them today? Is it because the Ptolemy family no longer allowed you to conceal your strength, or is it because they knew that we were in danger? It must be because of the latter.” A young girl toward Casey. She gave him a bouquet of flowers, her eyes flickering with light.

“I’m sorry, Young Master Casey. That is my daughter. She hasn’t had any education since she was young. Please don’t mind her.”

Soon, a man dressed like a fisherman rushed up and grabbed his daughter. He kept winking at his daughter, signaling her to stay away from Casey.

Unexpectedly, his daughter did not retreat. Instead, she showed a look of defiance. “Father, why do you keep pulling me? Do you still think Young Master Casey is the b*stard who raped young girls, did not pay for food, and even kicked an old lady who fell when she saw him? That’s just his disguise. Even those things might not be real. The real Young Master Casey must be who I think he is. He’s a person worthy of my respect.”

Casey was a little embarrassed when he heard—he had done all of that. The young girl’s words about people respecting him were a little illusory.

“I’m sorry, Young Master Casey. I did not mean to criticize you. It’s just that the rumors about you were too scary, causing me to be a little upset! It’s my fault. You have saved us. How could I say that about you? I apologize.”

The fisherman slapped himself twice and kept bowing to Casey.

“You don’t have to do that. I won’t do anything to you.”

After he stopped the fisherman, Casey revealed a warm smile. If it were any other time, such a lowly person would not have dared to be so disrespectful to him. He would have sent people to cut him up and throw him into the sea. He would have tied his daughter up and placed her on the bed. Fortunately, he still wanted to enjoy the taste of respect from everyone for a while longer.

It would not be too late to kill those hateful commoners after he left the Crystal Palace.

“Young Master Casey, you still haven’t told us why you saved us? Everyone in the entire floating city wanted to know that. I believe in your character. However, there are still people in the city, including my father, who do not understand you. I will definitely help you to clear up their misunderstanding.”

The young girl, who was the first to rush in front of Casey, continued to ask, her eyes twinkling with stars.

Casey hesitated for a moment; he could not withstand the light in the young girl’s eyes. “It’s fine to say that I did all that, but it’s not completely right. How should I put it?”

“Is that my dear younger brother, Casey? What’s wrong? You seem to be in a bit of a dilemma. You, the hero of the floating city, did not do all that. The person who did all that was actually someone else. You want to say that, right?”

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Casey’s words. A path opened up in the crowd. A man dressed in luxurious clothing brought a few guards toward Casey. When the man spoke, his handlebar mustache rose slightly. It was Casey’s older brother, Mike.

“I was wondering, Casey, how could you do such a feat? With your character, you should have hidden immediately after the disaster happened. You should have been knocked out by the collapsed houses and buried in the ruins! Sacrificing yourself for others and bravely fighting against the sea folks—that’s not like you.”

“Eldest Brother, I know you have always looked down on me, but you are wrong this time. I really did do those things.” Casey snorted coldly.

He had not wanted to admit those things or only admit a part of them because whatever Watson did with his identity was too outrageous. It was fine if he went to the auction house to purchase all the items, but fighting against the platinum-tier sea folks was too excessive. He did not expect that Watson’s strength would be so strong; it far exceeded his ability. If he admitted to that, he might be exposed in the future, which would be even more embarrassing.

However, Casey suddenly wanted to admit it when his eldest brother deliberately went there to mock him with a hint of envy in his eyes that could not be hidden.

“Forget it, Casey. I don’t care whether you did it or not. Where’s Watson? Father asked me to bring him to the trial. I went to the hotel to look for him, but they said that he had left with you very early in the day.”

“Watson? He can’t hold his liquor. He left after two bottles of wine with me. As for where he is now, use your brain to find him. Why are you asking me?”

“Casey, I’m your Eldest Brother. How dare you talk to me like that?” Mike glared at him.

“Even if I talked to you like that, what can you do to me? Teach me a lesson?” Casey pretended to raise his arm that was still wrapped in bandages. “I wonder which one of you is more resistant to beating—you or the platinum-tier sea folk?”

Mike was so angry that his face turned purple. He gritted his teeth and hesitated for a long time, but he still did not make a move. Instead, he waved at his subordinate. “Casey, well done. I didn’t expect you to hide so well! However, don’t expect the family head position to be yours just because you are strong. The competition for the position is based on one’s intelligence rather than strength. Just you wait. I haven’t lost yet.”

Then, Mike and the others left dejectedly. Casey smiled as he looked at their backs.

“You haven’t lost yet? You wouldn’t have said such things in the past.”

Mike saw him as a bug. However, it seemed like Mike was afraid of him; he did not even dare to speak harshly to him. That high and mighty feeling made Casey feel excellent.. He would scream if there were no one around.
