Chapter 320 312: Marquis And Margrave
Flashes of light were blaring outside like fireworks on the eve of the new year. The sounds of laughs and screams weren't all that different. It did eventually become a rather big issue though and Keith stormed into my office.
"Young master!" He shouted. "Help me stop them, they'll wreck your entire city!"
"What?! Junior you dare!"
"Go go, show them the power of the mighty hall sect!"
"Ok ew, stop."
I sighed and looked outside the window. Flashing like a light in a horror film, the image of Marquis Ban Ket Hall and Margrave Me Lon Mirxa flashing in the skies as they pitted their swords filled my eyes.
Just like me, it seemed Me Lon Mirxa was also a dual core. But unlike me and more like Tempo, he couldn't use both of them well. He used some traces of pretty powerful psychokinesis to aide his fight but that was all.
His Ki seemed to be above my Intent Ki though.
Probably around Ki King just like the Marquis.
"Young master!!"
"Right, right," I nodded. "Ahem, here goes."
I took in a deep breath.
My cores rumbled as they were engaged to their maximum. A single breath.
And the entire city started trembling.
The air, the ground, the clouds, the skies, nothing was spared as I didn't usurp mana and Ki from the surroundings but from within everything.
"Young master you're worseee!"
"God damn it Keith. Pick what you want please."
It worked though. The two fighters sent a small attack tumbling my way and I got rid of it with my shield. Unfortunately, they were both fairly strong and I had to grab one of their Ki attacks with my hands.
"Morning, good morning, nice to meet you. Stop trashing my city and get on the fucking chairs."
"BRAT! What was all that before huh!?"
"So you're Charlotte's son! You look just like her!"
Those two were still flying.
They were flying without using any shields. That annoyed me, but I knew it wasn't economical enough to bother with.
"It's been a while since I've heard that."
"Hahaha!"
The man with a scraggly red beard and long red hair that reminded me of the mane of a lion laughed and dashed straight into the room through the window.
His muscles were too big to fit on my chairs, so he would have have to stand up.
Or so I thought.
The man simply slapped my back while laughing, walked over to the chair in front of my desk, and fucking crushed the armrests before taking a seat.
He crushed them.
My chair…
"Hey Keith, go and bring those two here."
"Oh sure, I'll get some snack too."
Marquis came in as well.
"Sure. Lace the margrave's with sawdust."
"BWAHAHAH!"
The margrave laughed like a lion again, making all of us flinch.
What a weirdo. I was scared. Why can't people just be normal like me?
Keith dashed away and I took to the seat, Marquis scowled at the Margrave but sat next to him anyway.
At the same time, both of them raised their feet and tried to place it on my desk but I pulled it back before they could.
"Behave."
"HAHAH! I never thought I'll hear that from a lowly lord!"
"That's my son you asshole. And you, what kind of lord are you tell a Marquis like me to behave?"
I was certain that it might be as tough as the Balam battle, but I could definitely kill both of them.
"Do you want to die or something?"
"BWHAAHA!"
"He might just, Mirxa. Stop it."
"Right. I totally forgot about Charlotte."
It seemed Mirxa was traumatized by her too.
"Did you hate her or something?"
The two of them shuddered.
"Alright, I won't hit where it hurts."
"Are you curious about your mother now?" Asked Ban.
I nodded then.
"I recently went to hell and killed Demon Lord Dantalian. She seemed to have known her."
"Excuse me!?"
"BWAHAHAHA! Killed who!?"
The bwahaha's were getting old real quick. I held in my discomfort and spoke out.
"Dantalian, doesn't matter. I'll find out eventually."
I sighed and then the door was knocked on. In came Keith again, strolling in a service cart. Sitting atop the service cart were the two Fonias twins and on top of their heads were sets of tea and other confectionaries.
"Delivery," he said.
Was a smear campaign about me running behind my back? Who was it? Albert? Luka?
No. Every last one of them would jump at the opportunity to hurt me.
Of course, as he would have, the Marquis frowned greatly when he saw the two kids. This man really couldn't hold his own against kids, huh? This was why I hated him.
"Don't torture people like that, Keith," the Marquis said. "Are you kids alright?"
"Sorry~"
My jaw dropped.
He was only a bitch with me!
Anyway. Keith left the service cart and the two freshly brewed Fonias twins in the room, pulled out a small board from below the cart and cuddled up with himself in a corner. He didn't want to leave.
"Well, I guess we are rushing straight to the point? I wanted to ask if you would be interested in my daughter."
Meryl and the Marquis flinched.
"What's up with the girl, Eugy?"
God knows.
"He had a fiancée, Mirxa."
"Ah, who?"
It seemed the Lord of Mirxa only focused on fighting in the Ediab Forest.
"The Lady of Acacia."
"Who is that?"
Lethe was long forgotten. If he didn't know about me then he likely didn't have any idea that there was even a daughter in the Acacia family.
"Ah… well, Hades' daughter."
Lord Mirxa patted the Marquis' shoulder.
"I'll pray for you."
It seemed I understood now why they were called enemies in public. They were very close but were also little two pieces of shit! Almost like Luka and I.
"Well, anyway. Let's come to the point."
I flipped the board in the room and the many details of what we had already defeated were revealed.
