Chapter 54: Banquet (9)
Vishukel Yvliano was known as a 7-star knight, but in reality, he had already reached 8-star In other words, he was an insurmountable opponent to the current Jin
‘A duel with a 7-star knight’
This was a great opportunity for Jin
Whether he won or lost, the battle would greatly affect his reputation in a positive ht to the spectators, it would benefit hi the Yvliano swordsmanshi+p would be a perfect opportunity to study it Even Cyron had recognized the previous Yvliano patriarch as a powerful man worthy of respect, so Jin alanted to face an Yvliano swordsiela Yvliano What a laughable lady’
Jin was fully aware that the woht up was all just a sha battle
That, or she enjoyed putting her brother in troubleso him flail around Whatever her real intention was, Jin didn’t find it very pleasing
“You seem to care deeply about your sister, Lord Vishukel”
Jin reached out his hand towards the guardian knights on standby outside the stage as he spoke One knight respectfully approached and placed a sword in the young master’s hand
Whirrrrrrrrrrr!
Jin’s blade i in aura, as if so Master Jin”
“I also care deeply about my elder sister So from now on, you should teach your servants not to open their mouths carelessly”
He referred to the 6-star martial artist Bouvard Gaston as a mere ‘servant’
The audience realized that the Runcandels and their pride had not changed over the years
“The round is called Bouvard Gaston, and he is our attendant, not a servant Did he commit some sort of blunder?”
Vishukel pretended to be unaware and asked Jin to explain hi what offense Bouvard had most likely committed Meanwhile, Jin was taken aback when he heard the name ‘Bouvard Gaston’
It wasn’t a co for his name due to his insolence, but to think he was that Bouvard Gaston
“Did you just say that his name is Bouvard Gaston?”
“Indeed He merely attended this banquet to aid my sister, who is physically disabled He is an artisan who doesn’t fit well in the Runcandel banquet in the first place Thus, whatever faux pas heenerously overlook his blunder this time around”
An artisan
There was no need to verify the fatass’s identity any longer The ‘attendant’ Vishukel had brought with hi for
The people around the world were still unaware of the existence of the Transformer Bouvard Gaston Even the Ver the transformation cri to the culprit
Thus, Vishukel hadto the Runcandels’, as no one would suspect them Moreover, since ‘Bouvard Gaston’ had yet to spread around the world as the Transfor the banquet
Vishukel had thought that no one would show any interest in Bouvard in the first place, so he wondered whether a disguise was truly necessary
Of course, this didn’t apply to Jin as he was a regressor He knew about Bouvard Gaston from his past life
‘I should’ve let him introduce himself earlier Not only is his face different, but we’re also located in the Runcandel Clan’s main house—the Garden of Swords I could never have predicted my opponent to be Bouvard Had I known his true identity earlier, I wouldn’t have let hi’
Not only was Bouvard implicated in Jin’s assassination attempt when he had departed the Storm Castle, but the Transformer was also the main cause behind the chaos and confusion that would soon take over the world
Thus, it would’ve been much better to kill him and use him as compost
If Jin were certain that Vishukel had no real connection with Bouvard Gaston, he would’ve grabbed this opportunity and killed the unconscious, bloodied Bouvard straight away
However…
‘Bouvard Gaston and Vishukel Yvliano…’
Hoere they related? Did Vishukel know that Bouvard was the Transforht process accelerated When Bouvard was captured by the Verle piece of news about the Yvliano Clan being involved with the transforreatly emphasized that Bouvard was the one and only culprit behind those crimes Back then, Jin read the articles in the newspapers without ht But if he assumed that Vishukel are of Bouvard’s true identity, this situation was far ht
Anyhow, Jin did not have enough time to co the face to face with Vishukel
“…Very well Since I also took advantage of the duel to beat him half to death, I shall overlook the blunder this tiin our duel as well? I a Master Jin”
“I thank you in advance for your guidance”
A guardian knight handed Vishukel a sword, and the duel began
Jin pro up in his head He couldn’t afford to show a change in his behaviour after hearing Bouvard’s name, nor could he show his suspicion towards Vishukel and Bouvard’s relationshi+p
‘I’ll need to start investigating the Yvliano Clan alongside the Zipfel Clan, especially everything related to Vishukel Yvliano’
Clang!
Jin realized the truth as soon as their blades clashed the first time
‘Unlike what’s known publicly, he’s not a 7-star knight’
That was Jin’s intuition Needless to say, Vishukel hadn’t used his full power in the exchange just noever, his swordplay and the trajectory of his blade wasn’t ordinary
Jin could even say that Vishukel’s swordsmanshi+p had as much depth as his uncle Zed’s He couldn’t explain it properly, but Jin knew as soon as their swords clashed that Vishukel was hiding his true skills
Many of the spectators also realized this truth while observing the first exchange
“That fellow seeotten more profound”
“No wonder he’s called the Yvliano Clan’s hope”
The expressions of the spectators got serious
Although the duel was a complete mismatch, this was the perfect opportunity to observe and appreciate the swordsmanshi+p of both the Yvliano Clan’s pillar of support and the Runcandels’ rising star
