Chapter 606 - What About Another Favor? (2/2)

“Don’t underestimate my courage.”

Martin sensed that Stephanie had been staring at his back, so he felt that he should be more a.s.sertive.

He believed that the First Princess would love an unyielding man.

He would not back off.

With a heart full of courage, Martin waved his hand and roared, “Then capture Hogan too!” “Then you should capture me too.” “And me.”

“Count me in.”

“I don’t think Mr. Roland is a bad person either.”

A dozen n.o.bles who were willing to go to prison with Hogan showed up, and all of them wore Mage attire.

The whole party was filled with humming noises.

The onlookers who were not involved tried not to blink, fearing that they might miss any spectacular part of the show.

At this moment, Martin looked extremely awful.

If Hogan were the only opposition, he could keep the man in custody for a few days before setting him free. Then, the whole thing could be forgotten if he offered some monetary compensation.

However, a dozen oppositions would mean something entirely different.

Those people represented different forces large and small.

If they joined their forces, even the Martin family had to give in. After all, enough ants could bite an elephant to death.

Besides, one of the oppositions was from the royal family!

Wait!

Martin finally realized something wrong. How on earth was the royal family involved in this?

Shocked, he turned around and looked at Stephanie.

Then, a chill shot from his spine straight to the top of his head. He felt that his hair was standing on end with fear.

He saw nothing but mockery in the First Princess’s eyes, as if she was looking at an idiot.

He looked around. At this moment, he finally realized that the n.o.bles were laughing at him, not Roland.

Eventually, he fixed his eyes on Roland.

He reexamined the painting in his trembling hand and compared it with Roland, who was still calm. Then, he closed his eyes and said, “It can’t be wrong. This is exactly him.”

“There are a lot of people who look very similar.” Roland didn’t hesitate to stab him in the heart. “Grantham!”

Martin seemed to have realized something.

“I’m sorry. It appears that I was mistaken.”

It was the grand n.o.bles’ motto to stoop when necessary. There was always a chance to get back at people as long as they were still alive.

So, Martin apologized promptly. “Why should there be law if an apology is enough?”

Hogan remarked coldly.

It was a saying that came from the Golden Sons. For some reason, it sounded quite cool.

Therefore, many young n.o.bles had been using it as their catchphrase.

“Then what do I need to do for you to forgive me, Hogan?”

Hogan shook his head. “I’ll report the matter to the Council of Elders. Not only did you threaten and frame Roland, but you also insulted me and many other Mages. So, just wait and talk to our leaders.h.i.+p.” Martin clenched his fists but didn’t say anything

Very soon, the party was over.

The host was too down to continue the festivities.

However, the n.o.bles that came were quite happy.

They had enjoyed a rare drama, and if it kept escalating, it would be more or less in their favor too.

So, these people were so happy that they were almost excited.

Roland escorted the First Princess back to her manor, and then he went to a desolate place in the north of the city.

Grantham was already waiting for him with several Warriors.

Seeing Roland, he stepped forward and asked the Warriors to carry a heavy chest to him.

In front of Roland, Grantham opened the chest with great strength.

There was a green light that was flas.h.i.+ng slowly from inside the chest as if it were breathing

“The Meteorite Minerals!” Looking at the bright green crystals inside the chest, Roland smiled in satisfaction and absorbed them into the system Backpack.

Grantham was quite impressed, as Roland’s portable s.p.a.ce seemed to be astonis.h.i.+ngly huge.

To call the man a genius would be an understatement.

“I didn’t know that you were so fully prepared.” Roland looked at Grantham in admiration. “You even went undercover by yourself.”

“That’s nothing. After this incident, everybody in the Guild of Warriors will think less of Martin.” Grantham smiled. “However, it takes time to really oust him, so I’d like to ask you another favor.”
