God Of Tricksters

Chapter 177 – Ben Lange

The next morning, a purple-haired young man arrived in front of a mansion. From the outside, this mega-mansion looked classic since it had been built with white bricks.

The young man raised his vision and saw the chimney poked out the center of the roof, releasing purified smoke.

"I see. Someone is there, huh." The young man smiled and fixed his messy blue shirt and tightened the black belt that hung his black leather pants.

He lifted his bag, took a glance at the gate, and couldn't help but smile when he found some scratches on it. It contained many memories.

Ultimately, he shook his head and walked inside, opening the door alone since he never said anything about his return to surprise them.

When he entered the house, the young man looked left and right before deciding to go in the opposite direction of the chimney and stopping not long after in front of a wooden door.

He opened the door and saw another young man, slightly younger but looked like him. He smiled and waved his hand, "Yo, Laust."

Hearing his voice, Laust flinched and turned around with a terrified expression. Laust swallowed his fear and anger, clenched his fists, and replied. "So, you've come back, Ben Lange."

"Of course. Hahaha." Ben Lange walked to him before his hand circled Laust's neck as he gently pressed the top of his head. "Besides, it's Brother, you know. Why did you call me by my name?"

"I don't care." Laust snorted. He hated this person for taking away everything and making his life miserable. After all, this person was none other than the first young master of the Lange Family, Ben Lange. The genius whose reputation wasn't below Alea.

Ben understood the reason Laust was so hostile. He only smiled for a moment as if he remembered a certain scene before saying, "I'm really proud of you."

Without waiting for him to reply, Ben quickly released him as his expression turned serious. He stopped saying anything to Laust and quickly left the room. There was no trace of happiness and smile left on his face as it turned into a stone-cold.

Even Laust couldn't and didn't want to understand the sudden change. He only knew that Ben always returned and said that same particular line about him being proud of him. After that, his expression would immediately change as he left the room.

This time, Ben Lange walked in the Chimney direction and found a middle-aged man.

"First Young Master." The middle-aged man politely bowed his head, greeting him.

Ben Lange stopped and made a cold smile. "I have heard about your matter. Hiring a group of newbies was not like you, Butler Ji. There was a risk of you leaving any trace that could lead them to us. If that happens, it's going to be difficult for us."

"I don't know what you're talking about." The butler shook his head in confusion.

"And I do know you stole something from the Unending Tree and gave it to some people. Luckily, they didn't find anything about you… But this one was a narrow escape." Ben released a bit of his killing intent and asked with a cold tone. "Butler Ji… Are you… purposely messed up?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, First Young Master. I did everything like the usual." The butler denied him again while shaking his head helplessly.

"Are you treating me like a fool?" Ben became even colder, but the butler didn't give away any clue of him messing up. He simply remained silent and closed his eyes.

Surprisingly, Ben snorted and patted his shoulder twice before continuing his path.

The second room he visited was none other than his father, Endo Lange's office. He opened the door and saw a middle-aged man sitting in his chair, looking at the documents.

His father was an old-styled person since he loved paper more than digital documents in this current society. Hence, there were a few piles of documents on his table.

Ben Lange looked left and right, only to find shelves that stored all of the documents neatly. He took a deep breath and walked to his front and said politely. "I'm back, Father."

When the man heard his voice, he finally raised his head and looked at Ben without any change of expression while saying, "It seems you're back."

Ben didn't care about his cold attitude and sat on the sofa where he usually met his guesses. He relaxed his body, leaned on the chair, and said nonchalantly. "I've heard everything on the way."

The father stared at him for a moment and just hummed as his answer, acknowledging his reply.

Ben then picked up the apple on the table and cut it with his Magic Power while saying, "It seems you're in trouble. I can help you."

Endo suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked at him with a serious expression. "Don't mess up my plan. Everything is just the start."

"I know, I know." Ben chuckled and took a bite while saying, "I have a proposal."

Endo coldly glared at him but remained silent.

If this was Laust, he might have started rampaging to his cold attitude, but Ben Lange simply smiled and stated. "How about I eliminate all the monsters right now?"

"Hmm?" Endo contemplated for a moment as the plan piqued his interest.

Ben smiled and said, "I visited my foolish little brother earlier and copied the data that the school distributed. With this data, I can kill all of the monsters without a problem. I only need ten to twenty people to finish this within one month."

"What is your plan? You should know that Art Beats Castle is under heavy watch, right?"

Ben smirked and put down his apple while stating coldly. "Just like how cities are connected to each other, the other side is also connected."

"Are you…" Endo seemed to have understood his plan and narrowed his eyes.

"Yes. I plan to go from the other gate and head there by foot since we can't afford to be seen. This way, I can kill all of them swiftly." Ben raised his fist and clutched it while saying with excitement. "I'm going to finish and return within a month."
