Chapter 24: Snow Fox Clan, Martina!

What caught Roko's attention was not her appearance.

But the attribute panel that popped up the moment his gaze swept over her.

【Name: Martina】

【Race: Snow Fox (Fox-kin)】

【Level: None (Potential sealed)】

【Talent: SS-Rank】

【Status: Weak, fearful, sealed (bloodline power)】

【Favorability: 0】

【Loyalty: 0】

SS-Rank talent!

Roko's heart jumped abruptly.

He had actually encountered another existence with super high talent!

And it was the extremely rare Snow Fox clan!

The Snow Fox's status in the Fox-kin race is equivalent to the royal bloodline among humans, known for extremely high intelligence and powerful elemental affinity.

This little fox girl was definitely a top-tier good seedling!

Roko's gaze instantly became scorching.

He walked to the iron cage without changing his expression.

The little fox girl in the cage seemed to notice someone approaching, her body shrinking tighter, and her snow-white ears drooping.

Only revealing a pair of watery, large white eyes carrying terror and unease, looking at Roko timidly.

Ferdinand noticed Roko's gaze and hurriedly walked over to explain.

"Lord Raymond, this little Snow Fox... was reserved by Baron Carter of New Moon Town."

"Baron Carter?"

Roko raised his eyebrows slightly.

He remembered his uncles mentioning this name, an old-school Baron who had some strength in the New Wind Province but a bad reputation.

It seemed he liked torturing and playing with those little girls the most.

Ferdinand's face revealed a trace of embarrassment.

"Yes, Baron Carter just likes this kind of thing, specifically instructing us that if we catch a fox girl with good appearance, we must save it for him."

"This Snow Fox was caught with great difficulty, and Baron Carter has already paid the deposit..."

Roko didn't speak, just looked quietly at the little fox girl in the cage.

That look was as if he were looking at a treasure he was determined to get.

Ferdinand looked at Roko's expression, and his heart instantly began to weigh.

On one side was Baron Carter, who had some strength but a violent temper.

On the other side was Young Master Roko, from a top Marquis family, with unlimited potential.

How to choose, there was no need to hesitate at all.

Offending a border Baron, at most there would be some trouble.

But if he could befriend a Raymond, the future benefits would be immeasurable.

"However..."

Ferdinand changed the subject, a smile reappearing on his face.

"Since Young Master Roko likes it, then naturally it is your priority, Excellency."

"A mere Baron Carter, offending him is offending him."

"This little Snow Fox, just take it as a meeting gift I give to you."

He immediately ordered his men to lift the iron cage out.

Roko looked deeply at Ferdinand.

【Favorability: 65】

This Ferdinand was indeed a smart person.

"Since that's the case, then I will not decline."

Roko did not refuse this "good intention."

He knew that this favor would always have a chance to be repaid in the future.

Ferdinand saw Roko accept it, and was overjoyed, his attitude becoming even more respectful.

The two sides exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Ferdinand took the remaining slaves and said goodbye.

He needed to rush back to Prada City as soon as possible to report this unexpected harvest to the family, as well as the connection established with a member of the Raymond family.

At the same time, hundreds of miles away, New Moon Town.

Inside a gloomy stone castle.

A short, fat, middle-aged man with a sinister face was playing with the wine glass in his hand.

He was Baron Carter.

A butler ran in hurriedly, his face somewhat ugly.

"Master, the Corbin family's slave-catching team is here..."

"How is it? Was the little Snow Fox I reserved sent over?"

Baron Carter licked his lips, a lewd light flashing in his eyes.

The butler hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice.

"No, no."

"That Snow Fox was intercepted halfway."

"What?!"

Baron Carter smashed the wine glass on the ground abruptly, making a harsh sound.

"Who dares to snatch my things?!"

He roared angrily, the Knight aura on his body uncontrollably radiating out.

The butler shrank his neck in fear and said hurriedly.

"It's people from the Raymond family."

"Young Master Ferdinand of the Corbin family met a young master of the Raymond Marquis family on the wilderness."

"That young master took a fancy to the Snow Fox, and Ferdinand gave the Snow Fox to him..."

"Raymond..."

Baron Carter's anger seemed to be extinguished by a basin of cold water, and his face instantly became ugly.

The Raymond family! That behemoth!

A small border Baron like him, how dare he go and provoke them?

"Damn Ferdinand! This bastard!"

Baron Carter could only vent his anger on Ferdinand.

But he knew clearly in his heart that this matter could only be swallowed with broken teeth.

To offend the Raymond family for a fox girl he hadn't even gotten yet was seeking death.

"Forget it!"

Baron Carter waved his hand dejectedly, his face gloomy and terrifying.

"Let them roll!"

Vanguard Valley, inside the Lord's wooden house.

The iron cage containing the little Snow Fox was placed in the center.

Fula curiously circled around the cage, her silver-gray cat ears twitching from time to time.

She could feel that the little fellow in the cage seemed somewhat similar to herself, both carrying a kind of aura that made her feel close.

But at the same time, the obscure and powerful potential radiated from the little fellow made her instinctively feel a trace of vigilance.

Roko walked to the cage and squatted down.

"Little fellow, from now on you will follow me."

His voice was calm.

The little Snow Fox Martina in the cage raised her head, looking at Roko with those clear white eyes.

Her eyes were still filled with terror and unease, but it seemed there was also a trace of curiosity.

"You... who are you?"

Her voice was timid, carrying a trace of softness.

"I am Roko Raymond, your future Master."

Roko said.

"Master?"

Martina didn't seem to understand the meaning of this word, or rather, was unwilling to accept it.

She bit her lip and said in a small voice.

"I, I don't want a Master..."

"My mother said that Snow Foxes are the most noble and cannot be slaves..."

Roko looked at her little stubborn appearance and was not angry.

People or things with higher talent are often the most unruly.

This was very normal.

He stood up and ordered Fula behind him.

"Fula, hold her down."

"Yes, Master."

Fula didn't have any hesitation and immediately stepped forward.

Although she was somewhat curious about the little fox girl in the cage, the Master's order was absolute.

Martina saw Fula approaching and screamed in fright, wanting to hide back.

But the cage space was narrow, and she had nowhere to escape.

Fula opened the cage door and gently but irresistibly hugged Martina out of the cage.

Martina struggled desperately.

"Let me go! Who are you! I don't know you!"

Her snow-white little hands waved wildly, wanting to break free from Fula's embrace, and those white eyes were filled with terror and tears.

Although Fula's movements were gentle, her strength was far beyond this weak little fox girl; she held Martina steadily, not letting her move around.

Martina saw that the struggle was fruitless and turned to look at Roko, her eyes filled with begging. ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
