The golden knight El Prado symbolizes eternity.
Rufus Elbarea is determined to get something. Only by becoming the initiator of this last horse god can he be qualified to board the chessboard called "Strike" and realize his ambition - transcendence. His own "adopted father", Gillias Osborne.
Rufus is a genius, no doubt a genius, and he is the eldest son of the four famous Elbarea family. He can easily get countless things that ordinary people can't ask for.
Apart from martial arts, Rufus has experienced all the worldly fame and fortune that Rean has gained in the past few years, and he did so earlier than Rean.
Rean gradually became famous at the end of his teenage years. He was unknown before, so he would feel frightened by the fame and even doubt himself - whether I deserve it or not.
This was not the case with Rufus. This born nobleman had almost led the entire generation with his unparalleled attitude, ever since he was a child.
Even the "Slutty Prince" Olibat, who has made a splash in recent years, is somewhat inferior in overall evaluation.
There was only one word for what he felt at Rean's age - boredom.
Boring entertainment, boring flattery, boring nobles, even father and mother are so boring... Everyone lives with a mask, and everything around them is false.
Who would have thought that my eldest son was not the Duke’s biological child, but the child of my mother’s affair with the Duke’s younger brother?
It's just that because my mother's family is very important to the Elbarea family, and I also have Elbarea blood, the Duke actually recognized this cheap son. The only punishment was to expel the younger brother who had an affair with his sister-in-law. Just leaving home.
The Duke's real biological son was treated indifferently just because he was the illegitimate son of a civilian mistress.
It's really disgusting. This kind of life is simply uninteresting. I live like a walking zombie every day and wear a mask of a nobleman.
Of course, with Rufus's talent and learning ability, even if he was bored to the point of going crazy, he would still be impeccable in what he had to do.
This made his reputation grow, and with it, the boredom and emptiness that followed.
Just when he thought he might have to live with hypocrisy and boredom for the rest of his life, that man, Gillias Osborne, appeared.
At that time, Osborne was not as famous as he is now, and his position was far from stable. Even so, the aristocracy still felt the pressure.
Some nobles complained to Rufus, and Rufus thought - there is nothing difficult about this, just destroy them physically. Nobles have done this countless times in history, too many to count. He is just a commoner who climbed up from the bottom. He only has one life, but the nobles are a large and intricate network.
So Rufus hired the Chasseur Group. Unexpectedly, there were so many people in the Chasseur Group but they couldn't kill this civilian. This aroused Rufus' curiosity, and he went to the horse racing meeting in the suburbs to see this commoner with his own eyes.
What was even more unexpected was that Rufus thought he had done everything perfectly, but Osborne saw through it at a glance.
He would never forget what he said to himself that day.
"——Are you so bored that you want to play with fire? Because an empty life bound by family background is too boring."
"What a pity. For a young man like you...if you continue like this, your life will end at a glance."
"Do you want to change? Do you want to fill this emptiness? Do you want to no longer be bound by your family background? Do you want to have a different life?"
"Then why don't you come to my place? I promise you that the rest of your life will never be boring."
Ridiculous isn't it? A commoner without a title, even if he got the position of prime minister, was still in danger every day. He actually said such words to the noble prince who was destined to be the leader of the aristocratic faction in the future.
What's even more ridiculous is that Rufus feels that it is not a joke. The man in front of him is not only serious, but also has the ability to realize it.
An unprecedented sense of excitement filled Rufus's heart. No one knew it, and no one even thought that the most high-profile newcomer of the aristocratic faction would fall so easily and board a civilian ship.
And not in a reciprocal manner, but willing to become the other party's "child". Even the name that would become famous in Semlia in the future was given by Rufus himself.
"Haha, is that why it's called "Iron-Blooded Son"?"
"Indeed, the child wants to surpass his father - let me look forward to that day."
In this way, thirteen years have passed, Osborne has become the de facto master of the empire, and Rufus has reached a height that no one can imagine. Many people, including Jussis, believe that today’s empire, Only Rufus can challenge Osborn's current supremacy.
But only Rufus himself knew that it was not enough, it was still far from enough. As long as there is no riding god, he will never be able to surpass his "father".
That's why he lost his composure after receiving the news that the Seven Horsemen Gods had completely recovered, because the last hope was gone.
Although he cheered up again with Osborne's stimulation and comfort, he found that he still couldn't let go when the "lost" Golden Horseman reappeared in front of him and collided head-on with the Silver Horseman.
That'smine!
That was supposed to be mine!
Only I am the most suitable starter, only I can surpass him and defeat him!
No one can do it but me!
Everyone——
No matter it's his biological child! Or what about Laiwei!
None!
Can't!
Rufus's heart roared crazily!
He knew that he shouldn't be like this, it was pointless, he was just venting, he was just incompetent and furious.
But he couldn't help it.
Obviously, no matter what happened before, he could smile gracefully and play the role of a well-behaved noble man.
But this time, he couldn't bear it anymore!
Gaffe!
The commander is disqualified!
Out of touch with the team!
He even got a good beating!
Still can't relieve the depression in my heart.
For the first time, for the first time in his life, he felt a feeling worse than the emptiness he felt when he was young, and even worse than a month ago when he knew he would not get the Golden Riding God.
Above his head, in the projection, brilliant light shone, and such a dazzling golden aura seemed to be a ruthless mockery to him: Why do you also want to be my starter? dream!
Smart people think too much, and smart people like Rufus are more likely to think too much and get into trouble accidentally.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, the angrier he became, the more dizzy he became, and he fell into a vicious circle that got worse and worse, until a fist with bulging veins appeared in front of him, getting closer and closer, getting more and more cruel, and finally ruthlessly Hit him on the bridge of the nose!
The beating made his eyes full of stars, the beating made his eyes crooked and his mouth twisted, the beating made his cheeks swell:
"That's almost enough, brother, Rufus Elbarea!"
