441 Hit and Run (1/2)
It did not take long for them to furrow their brows.
It could be immediately understood that these two unexpected guests were extraordinary in both cultivation and background.
After Young Master Judas landed, he simply walked past Elizabeth and Heinrich. They did not enter his eyes as he had his gaze fixated on Aria.
”May I have the honor of learning your name, milady?” Young Master Judas requested, performing a gentlemen bow while reaching out to her hands for a kiss.
However, Aria avoided Young Master Judas' hand and retreated to Elizabeth's side while giving him a cautious look.
”Who are you?” She asked with a frown.
She was evidently displeased that a stranger she was meeting for the first time had tried to touch her.
”My apologies. It was rude of me to act so forwardly, although we just met.” Young Master Judas retreated a few steps and introduced, ”My name is Judas of the Cortez family. Baron Beau Cortez is my father.”
Heinrich and Elizabeth furrowed their brows, obviously never heard of the name Baron beau Cortez, nor the Cortez family.
These two Transcendents were not from their kingdom. However, that did not matter presently. What was important was these two people came uninvited and trespassed on palace ground.
What did they take this place to be? Their backyard?
”We have never heard of the Cortez family, nor the name of your father, Baron Beau Cortez. But regardless of your status and background, it does not give you the right to be here. I suggest we move to the Outer Palace's Great Hall.” Heinrich said.
Young Master Judas' good mood dropped at once, hearing someone else was speaking to him while he was awaiting a reply from the name of the beauty in front of him.
”I was not talking to you, insect. Hmph!”
Young Master Judas narrowed his eyes dangerously at Heinrich, who was not even a Transcendent and covered in dirt.
Naturally, Heinrich and Elizabeth had been toiling away at the railway construction for a whole day and had yet to wash after returning.
Without warning, Judas Cortez sent out a water wave and struck the unprepared Heinrich, sending him flying back.
”Heinrich!”
”Father-in-law!”
”Your Majesty!”
”Young Master Judas!”
Numerous people cried out at once.
Aria flashed Young Master Judas a dangerous look before she rushed over with Elizabeth to check on Heinrich's condition.
The King was struck on the shoulder, and a terrible gash could be seen while blooding was pouring out from them. Anger immediately seeped out from Elizabeth's heart.
”I apologize for the transgression my Young Master has caused. Please accept this as compensation.” Elder Gustavo said to the trio.
A leather bag of unknown contents appeared out of nowhere from Elder Gustavo's ring hand before tossing it over.
Shortly after, Elder Gustavo quickly grabbed Young Master Judas and flew into the sky, fleeing from the palace.
The palace guards rushed over, but they were helpless to stop the two from leaving.
”Hold it right there!” Elizabeth roared furiously, shooting to her feet before taking off in pursuit. ”Do you think you can just come and leave as you please after you what you just did?! Where do you think this is?! Who do you think we are?!”
At the same time, Aria used her Ice-Lightning power to seal the gashing wound on Heinrich's should before gazing into the sky with a worrisome expression.
If she knew how to fly, she would have followed Leon's mother and definitely not leave her to chase after two Transcendents on her own.
”Thank you, Aria,” Heinrich said with knitted brows, enduring pain in his shoulder as he gazed in the direction his wife left.
Aria shook her head and said, ”It is what I should do.”
Meanwhile, Elizabeth continued to pursue the two escaping Transcendents.
”Come back here!” Elizabeth roared.
However, she was surprisingly unable to catch up to the two Transcendents!
They flew straight into the sky suppression zone and beyond, but their speed did not decrease!
On the other hand, her speed began to plummet drastically due to the increasing gravitation force weighing down on her, the higher she flew!
It was like the suppressive force in the sky had no effect on these two unknown Transcendents!
In mere moments, Elizabeth lost their trail. She was forced to return empty-handed while the two Transcendent succeeded in their escape.
”Dammit!” Elizbeth cursed in frustration.
…
Some distance away, Young Master Judas struggled in Elder Gustavo's grasp and said, ”Do we need to flee like cowards, Elder Gustavo? I can't believe you compensated them with your Interspatial Bag for just a small wound! What did you have in it?”
