Chapter 1958 - Norman, Someone who doesn’t Submit to Authority (2/2)
He did not care which faction the knights were from. He was going to take them all out!
That being said, Mo Fan still felt sorry for Kris getting dragged into this mess.
Mo Fan had no idea how serious it was for a knight to resign from their role. He only knew Asha’ruiya had rolled her eyes at him before the standoff took place!
The good news was that Kris was already prepared for it. He knew it was impossible to put his knightly coat back on after taking it off, yet he still chose to side with Mo Fan. Meanwhile, the Blue Star Knights led by Wandi had not expected it to be so serious. They did not mean to lose their knighthoods. They cared about their positions more than anyone!
“How about we dismiss those who asked to resign first, and send the others to serve in the Hall of Faith as a punishment?” Izisha suggested.
Izisha might be furious, but she had to sound like she was negotiating.
The main reason for that was because some of these Blue Star Knights were tied to several renowned clans in Europe. If they were dismissed, she would have a hard time explaining things to their clans.
“That won’t do. Both the ones who started it and the ones who followed all took off their coats,” Norman replied coldly.
Izisha had a resentful face, but she did not speak further.
“Is it possible that those who voluntarily resigned aren’t allowed to enter the Hall of Knights again, while those who only took off their coats are allowed to stay, but would be punished for their actions?” Xinxia asked.
Xinxia and Izisha had been fighting for a long time, but they surprisingly stood on the same side for this matter. This incident would definitely be recorded in the Parthenon Temple’s annals in the future.
“That cannot be done. They took off the coats themselves. I saw it myself,” Norman answered evenly.

Zhao Manyan and Xinxia’s Servant, Fiona, were sitting beside Mo Fan. Fiona had a displeased expression.
“It’s such a relief that you’re not a member of the Parthenon Temple. I’m pretty sure you and Combat Officer Norman could form a team, the demon king duo. No one is allowed to cross your path, and no one could possibly convince you to change your mind!” Fiona spluttered.
“Mo Fan, I have to say, that guy is just like you. Both Izisha and Xinxia are speechless against him. Almost half of the authorities of the Parthenon Temple are here to plead for leniency on behalf of the Blue Star Knights, but he has no intention of backing down. He’s having a verbal joust with all of them. How imperious! I’ve really witnessed how a person can choose not to submit to authority!” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
“I don’t think it’s a bad thing. Take a close look at Haylon. He looks like he is pitying the Blue Star Knights, but he’s actually overjoyed inside. It’s something he has wanted to do for a long time, but the consequences were too great since he’s the Hall Master of the Hall of Knights. To his relief, a reputable man like Norman, who isn’t a Hall Master, stepped forward to cut through the tangled hemp with a quick sword on his behalf!” Mo Fan pointed out.
“Cutting through tangled hemp? Many among them are actually on Xinxia’s side!” Fiona grumbled.
“It’s fine, there are quite a lot on Izisha’s side, too. Both sides might suffer some losses, but what Norman did is still in Xinxia’s favor in the long run. Izisha likes playing at politics, while Xinxia focuses on her public reputation. Norman will definitely support the one with a better reputation. I’ve just talked to Norman; he has decided to take over the Hall of Knights. He will become Haylon’s sword and get rid of the tumors in the Hall of Knights. I believe the Hall of Knights will soon be Xinxia’s,” Mo Fan informed them.
“What public reputation? We aren’t selling cosmetic products. How bad is your choice of words?” Fiona grumbled. “But then again, if Master Norman is willing to support Xinxia, it might make up for her recent losses in Europe.”
