I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Iron Blood

Leon’s little brothers instinctively wanted to jump in, but they hesitated because of Roy’s status and didn’t dare to act.

Then Leon said, “What are you all afraid of?”

“This is my territory, and he made the first move! I’m the son of a duke, and he’s just a marquis’s kid. I’ve got your backs!”

The young lads became Leon’s most loyal lapdogs. Believing in Leon’s promise, they bared their fangs at Roy like a pack of hyenas.

Roy reacted quickly, stepping in to shield Alice behind him.

“Alice, step back!”

“Master!”

As the girl gasped in shock, six or seven guys rushed in, raining down punches and kicks on Roy like a storm!

To be honest, Roy didn’t have much fighting experience; he had just kicked Leon away out of anger. Now, facing a group of rowdy ruffians, he started to doubt himself.

However, the anticipated pain from a severe beating didn’t hit him. Instead, the punches felt like pillows stuffed with cotton.

On the contrary, the attackers screamed as they clutched their busted fists and broken legs, rolling around in agony.

Almost forgot, I’m an Extraordinary Being now!

【Steel Bones】 grants me far superior resistance to damage!

“Didn’t your mama teach you not to hit faces?”

Roy grabbed one of the still-standing thugs and landed a stiff uppercut to his jaw.

As the saying goes, an amateur punches a master; this amateur punch sent the brat flying, and he fell like garbage two seconds later.

“Run, run!”

“He’s already an Extraordinary Being!”

Roy had no intention of letting these bullies off the hook. After a punch for each, more wails echoed as none could get up.

Who knew being sequentially at level 9 could be this powerful?

Roy was a bit taken aback.

But just then, a shout yanked him back to reality.

“Master, watch out!”

Roy sprang back, just as a swift shadow zipped past his chest.

With a rip, a big tear appeared in the front of his suit, but thankfully, he wasn’t hurt.

The assailant was Leon.

That razor-sharp attack had come from his fingertips.

Roy’s expression grew serious.

From the Raymond family, the silver bloodline, with their unique abilities 【Steel Wrists】 and 【Iron Blood】, boast top-notch melee capabilities.

Especially since Leon wasn’t lacking in talent and had stepped into the extraordinary realm earlier than Roy.

This was not going to be simple.

Roy wasn’t particularly worried about his safety.

The maids and guards in the distance began to stir, and it wouldn’t be long before nobles arrived to stop the brawl.

But so what? Due to the entanglements of power, Leon wouldn’t face severe punishment, and there would still be a chance he could threaten Alice again.

Roy needed to hurt Leon before that happened.

Make him remember this pain for life.

“Didn’t expect you to already be an Extraordinary Being? Now it’s a fair fight,” Leon sneered, clenching his fists in anger.

“Are you stalling for time?” Roy remarked casually.

“What?”

Roy gave him a scornful glance. “You dared to strike my maid, but now you don’t have the guts to hit me. Just stalling for time until your daddy comes to rescue you?”

“Don’t get too cocky! Today, I’ll make you understand that you’re the biggest loser in the Kingdom of Ryan!”

Leon’s last shred of reason was burned away by rage, his hands turned pitch-black, gleaming coldly under the lights!

A flurry of punches came Roy’s way, and he narrowly dodged, hearing the whoosh of air as heavy strikes flew past him!

The surrounding tables were smashed to pieces by knockout punches, creating a scene of utter destruction.

Even with 【Steel Bones】, Roy didn’t want to take those hits directly.

【Steel Bones】 was a universal skill among close-combat enhanced bloodlines; 【Steel Wrists】 had its own steel-hardening ability, packing quite the punch.

Both had similar defensive capabilities, but Roy lacked the offensive power!

As he barely dodged another of Leon’s swings, Roy quickly opened one hand to unleash 【Weapon Projection】.

This was the true core ability of 【Iron Blood】!

With a flash, a short sword slowly formed in his grasp.

But Leon, eyes glinting with ferocity, charged at him recklessly with a punch, forcing Roy to break off the 【Weapon Projection】 and retreat.

The two weaved around each other, and in a moment of panic, Roy swung a fist at Leon’s face.

Yet when they steadied themselves again, Roy was clutching his bruised right fist in pain, while Leon grinned, unscathed.

“You amateur fool, did you think I didn’t know the ability of 【Iron Blood】?”

“Creating weapons with 【Iron Blood】 takes time; the moment you showed up unprepared, you lost!”

In the noble circles, family abilities weren’t secrets. Especially since Leon thrived on brawling, his combat experience was anything but lacking—

That’s why he felt so deluded.

Thinking he could win.

Like a wolf cornering its prey, Leon leaped forward, soaring several meters and ready to tear Roy apart.

But just as he was about to reach Roy’s face, there was a loud crash! A solid, heavy object, unmistakably iron, smashed into Leon’s forehead!

The wolf yelped, losing its earlier ferocity, stepping back while clutching its now-bloodied head, staring wide-eyed in confusion.

“What, was that one hit too much for you?”

Roy sighed in exasperation, charging at him once more.

This time, Leon finally saw the weapon in Roy’s hand.

It was…

A brick????

Or more like a lump of iron.

Roy was clever enough not to approach with a sword to give Leon any warning, but he also wasn’t planning to fight barehanded.

The more elaborately designed 【Weapon Projection】 took time, even a short sword needed several seconds to form.

But with a solid lump of iron, it could be done in an instant!

In the moment Roy concealed his fist, he did so to obscure Leon’s view, hiding the iron block in his hand.

Roy might lack experience, but his understanding of extraordinary abilities and imagination was enough to close the gap!

Who said 【Weapon Projection】 could only project swords and blades?

Why not a hefty iron brick? Your imagination is just lacking!

But just as Roy was set to swing the iron brick for another hit, he heard a cold shout from beside him.

“Stop!”

“If you move again, I’ll harm this young lady!”

Roy turned his head to see that somehow, Alice had fallen into the grasp of a burly ruffian!
