78 Snide Remarks (1/2)

Roland was a top student in school, but this didn't mean that he was a completely well-behaved child.

He and his childhood friends played together since they were young. Where there are many people, there are many quarrels—the six of them fought with other kids a few times and became the neighborhood overlords. After they grew up and went to elementary school, they were unrivaled, and then when they were in middle school, they also fought hoodlums a few times.

As for high school… They even fought in a few big fights. In reality, apart from Roland and Schuck, the other four all had major demerits on their record. However, in the last semester of their senior year, the school erased their demerits.

Generally speaking, as long as the offense wasn't too excessive and if the student wrote a repentance letter, the school generally wouldn't let their students graduate without any stains on their records.

Since Roland was young, he had been in many group fights, so he wasn't the type of person who could particularly restrain himself.

However, as he gradually grew older, he was more and more able to control his impulses.

If Roland were still in high school, or even freshman or sophomore year in college, If someone dared to speak so arrogantly to him, he wouldn't even wait—he would just roll up his sleeves and smack them.

But he wasn't so impatient now. After becoming a part of the working society, he developed some basic patience.

”First, this is a sub-branch and not your headquarters,” Roland said with a smile, ”a small remote place that the king has no ability to interfere with, and the headquarters can't interfere much with, either.”

Once he said these words, the expressions of the people below changed drastically.

”Aldo, this lowly man, how did he teach…”

The magic apprentice, who had just hurled insults, reached out his hand and pointed at Roland, shouting furiously.

Then, Roland waved his hand through space and a giant blue hand immediately appeared out of thin air. With a peng, this person was smacked into a wall, falling unconscious.

”Chairman Aldo is undeniably an official mage, and one at the elite level. You, a magic apprentice, directly insulting him as a despicable lowlife, isn't that a bit too excessive?”

Although Roland was facing the unconscious magic apprentice when he said this, everyone below clearly knew that these words were directed at all of them.

After a temporary silence, the expressions of the people below changed drastically again. The few magic apprentices looked at their fellow apprentice off to the side and walked forward indignantly. Mental power surged as they were about to retaliate, but another Hand of Magic appeared in midair.

The two giant Hands of Magic were so large that they seemed to be able to squeeze all of them in their clutches.

At this moment, one of the youngsters at the forefront suddenly started to smile. ”You must be Mr. Roland. Your usage of Hand of Magic has really been brought to perfection, as expected. It's a pleasure to meet you.”

After hearing this youngster speak, the other people's murderous expressions were suppressed, but the gloominess and ruthlessness still lingered on their faces.

Roland looked at him and asked, ”May I ask who you are?”

At this moment, Roland still stood high up on the stairs, looking down on them and giving off a feeling of superiority.

In negotiations or confrontations, the one who held the high ground would have an intangible oppressive power.

The youngster naturally noticed this point. This made him quite uncomfortable, such that he had to take a deep breath. He said in a displeased manner, ”Towering above us, is this the proper way to treat guests?”

”Barging in through the host's door, is this the proper attitude of a guest?” Roland laughed lightly. ”Come on up. Since you guys have displayed the attitudes of unwelcome guests, don't expect me to have a good attitude.”

The other people scowled in an unsightly manner at these frank words.

If these people were in the capital or at the headquarters, they would exercise some restraint.

However, in Delpon, which they saw as the countryside and just a sub-branch, so what if they were arrogant?

It wasn't like they had never been to other sub-branches, and each and every time they were treated as great lords.
