Rise of an Empire

"What do children know? Go back first." After pressing Phoenix's head, the Duke scolded her.

He is a man with some compulsive collecting habits.

But unlike those who like to collect antiques or luxury cars, Conrad's sexual interest is collecting beautiful women.

Therefore, Weiting Manor has long been filled with beautiful girls with different styles from all over the world.

Anyway, the Ax Gang now basically monopolizes the underground black market in New York. In a super city like New York, countless beauties from all over the world come to pursue their dreams alone every year.

Just like Tina, the oldest maid in the family, didn’t she run to New York alone to pursue her dream?

It's just that Tina is lucky, and there is really only one person in a million who can be as lucky as her.

Most of the beauties with dreams were traded in the underground black market after arriving in New York, and then worked in some entertainment venues.

Kingpin knew his boss's preferences and would package the selected high-quality goods to Weting Manor almost every month. This also led to the fact that even Conrad did not know how many women there were in the manor.

There were even so many women that he had to build a new courtyard on Long Island, specifically to collect women who he basically had no time to use but who were indeed valuable to collect.

This point is considered very inhumane by some people, who almost treat those women as goods and do not give them the dignity and freedom of life they deserve.

But

Compared to the fact that they would have been sold to various underground markets or even entertainment venues in other countries, being able to be sent to the Duke is already a great gift.

At least they can still eat and drink well every day in Weting Manor. Apart from having to abide by some strict rules, they never have to worry about material aspects of life.

But that’s what those women think?

That's unknown

No matter what, those women can't change the situation anyway. With a psychic mutant like Frost sitting in charge, they don't even dare to think about resisting.

"Bad Daddy" had already made up his mind when he saw Conrad, and Phoenix could only mumble.

Although she felt a little sorry for the long-legged pretty girl just now, she would never disobey her father's order for a stranger.

People classify all matters in their hearts. Phoenix would deliberately retaliate against Conrad because Tony was molested by Conrad and let him go shopping with her for a few days, but she would never do it for the sake of just now. That innocent girl's happiness in the second half of her life came against her father's ideas.

At worst, it would be better if she went to say hello to Aunt Gudrun and take more care of her after she was raised as a collection in the manor.

The father and daughter had a little argument, which ended with Phoenix being completely defeated.

After all, doting on your daughter is one thing, but having your own principles is another thing entirely.

"It's strange, why does that girl walk so fast?" The two of them had walked several kilometers while chatting, but until now, they had not caught up with the long-legged girl who looked like a perfect figure.

Because they were in the center of London just now, Conrad and Phoenix unconsciously controlled their speed so that their walking speed would not appear so abrupt.

But no matter how hard they control it, the two of them can still be regarded as the two strongest humans in the world. There is no way they can't catch up with that long-legged pretty girl after chasing them for so long.

"Dad, look, this person has been lost. Let's go back." Phoenix saw Conrad stopped, and then she quickly yelled, preparing to take someone away.

"It shouldn't be." The Duke looked around strangely. With his current perception, how could he possibly lose the person?

"But this is already a cemetery, let's go back," Phoenix said, pulling his sleeve and pointing to the sign above.

Highgate Cemetery

Conrad looked up at the photo above in surprise, feeling a little stunned.

Unknowingly, I was chasing a girl to the cemetery.

Could it be that the girl just now was actually a female ghost?

"Dad, have we hit a ghost?" Not only the Duke thought so, but Phoenix beside him was already chattering a little.

"How about a little bit of success?" Conrad was originally going to give her an angry slap, but after thinking about it, he reached out and rubbed her head.

This daughter just can't be beaten. If it's a son who dares to be so courageous, he must be beaten hard.

"You are the most powerful mutant in the world, of course, second only to daddy," the Duke said after a pause.

"No matter what nonsense it is, as long as you look at it in the mirror, there will still be people alive. Don't scare yourself like this."

After more than ten years of training, the eight-foot mirror has almost become the little Phoenix's magic weapon. The power of a mirror is definitely more powerful than ordinary missiles.

And because the Eight-foot Mirror is originally a legendary artifact, it not only has amazing destructive power, but also comes with various messy effects such as breaking demons, sealing, imprisoning, weakening, and cursing.

So, regardless of the evil spirits, as long as one looks in the mirror, there will definitely be no immortality.

"But, I didn't bring it with me today," Phoenix timidly grabbed his arm and whispered.

Since I had been shopping with Conrad these past few days, the eight-foot mirror was naturally left in the palace and Pod was responsible for taking care of it.

"You" the Duke shook his head helplessly. Even without the eight-foot mirror, you are still the strongest mutant. Well, the Phoenix Force is a cosmic-level creation force. What are you afraid of?

"Dad, let's go back," Phoenix held Conrad's arm tightly and begged in a low voice.

"It's a joke. Today I must see which blind thief dares to play tricks in front of me." Of course Conrad would not agree to Little Phoenix's request.

This girl is almost going to die for him. She is obviously a peerless master who can reach the fifth level as an adult. With a little hard work, she might be able to cross the threshold of the sixth level cosmic boss. But she is afraid of ghosts. How can you say this? You are not someone who laughs to death in the universe.

Originally, the Duke only wanted to make a collection of the long-legged pretty girl, but now, he must find out what is causing the trouble.

No matter what kind of monster it was, Conrad didn't care.

He is currently the second most powerful mage on the planet after the Ancient One. Beings like Sadako Yamamura, who ranks among the top ten resentful spirits in the world, have been used as personal bed-warming maids. How can there be such a powerful person in this mere UK? No ghosts

Of course, if he could encounter the ghost of King Arthur in the legend, then Conrad felt that he could discuss it carefully to see if the other party was the ancient British legend version or the stupid version of later generations.
