Chapter 98 (2/2)
“Very good, you are very good. Who do you thinking you are talking to? The Royal Knight Association supervises all the Knights in the world. Do you think that we are an existence that you can provoke?” Charlie coldly nodded. With a palm, the Reduced Force Field slapped against Anthony’s face, causing it to turn red.
Looking at Anthony, blood trickling down the corner of his lips, Charlie said, “I’ll have another good chat with you at the end.”
With that, he said to the assistant beside him, “Bring in the next person.”
…
With a slap, Lilia shattered the table, shouting loudly, “My father is a second transitioned level 24 Knight! Kirst’s City Lord! A viscount! My grandfather is the Royal Knight Association’s Honorary Representative!”
Charlie wiped off the sweat from his forehead. Even if it was him, he was also not willing to rashly offend those Conferred Knights with the rank of nobility, who had actual authority, and countless backers.
He put up a forced smile, saying, “Lady Lilia, don’t be nervous. We’re only inviting you to cooperate with our investigation…”
“Cooperate your head!” Lilia bellowed angrily, “Release my teacher immediately! Do you know how much of my sword practice time is wasted on this nonsense of yours? You’re holding up a future Knight, do you know that?”
The muscles and bones throughout Lilia’s body rang out, her bellow was like a thunderous explosion, spreading through the whole building.
“Lady Lilia, you can be assured, we’re just conducting a routine investigation. If there’s no problem with Fang Xingjian, then we will naturally release him.” Charlie suppressed his fury and smiled to his assistant, saying, “It seems like Lady Lilia doesn’t know anything. You can bring her back first.”
Long after Lilia left, Charlie stood in the meeting room, staring at the ten plus assistants present, saying, “Are you all idiots? Who brought this lady here?”
An assistant raised his hand weakly, saying, “Sir, you were the one who had said to bring everyone who was closely related to Fang Xingjian.”
“Why don’t you look at how it went? Was I interrogating her? Or was she the one interrogating me?”
“Such a countryside,” Charlie stomped on the chair behind him, shattering it into dust, “How do they expect us to do our work here?”
“And you guys, I know you are not interested in stirring up trouble or offending other people. Each of you just want to get by in life and wait for death to come, for there to be peace in the world.
“Do you guys still have any shame? Do you carry the Empire’s responsibility and the association’s glory in your heart?”
He threw a glance towards the assistants who were wearing different expressions and thinking of different things, lamenting in his heart, ‘A bunch of good-for-nothings who know little but eating and drinking, not knowing how to repay the grace of those who made them who they are today.’
…
On the other side, once Lilia reached home, she immediately ran to her father’s study.
Kirst’s City Lord was seated at his office desk, drinking a cup of milk tea when he head a loud bang. The door was sent flying, and it smashed against the wall, as Lilia dashed in infuriated.
“Father, my teacher has been locked up! Quickly get him out of there!”
He smiled bitterly, shaking his head, “Lili, your temper is really…”
“Quickly get them to release teacher! I’ve gone through so much to find myself such a good teacher, and have been able to improve at a tremendous pace every day. Do you want to see our clan losing a Knight?”
Lilia charged in, grabbed his arm and kept shaking it. Kirst’s City Lord almost could not take it anymore. He held on Lilia’s shoulders and said, “Alright, Lili. Your teacher is fine.”
“How is he fine? He’s been locked up till now!”
“Hehe, a sixteen year old first transitioned Warrior who has exceeded the speed of sound.” Kirst’s City Lord smiled, “Now, the ones who should be panicking isn’t your teacher, but those investigators.
“Fang Xingjian’s news came too sudden. This bunch of people must have either taken action before they managed to accumulate all the information, or they must be a bunch of complete hotheads.
Kirst’s City Lord smiled calmly and said, “But regardless which it is, it’s going to be hard for them to back off now.
“They’re still too young. To be in such a hurry to step forth, they are really not mature enough.”
