Chapter 146 - Challenge (1/2)
Noticing how I froze as soon as I realized who he is, my dear cousin smiled and kept going with his insults.
”Who even allowed you to come here? This is a place for exceptional cultivators, not some talentless piece of shit like you!”
Even by standing face to face with him, I was able to feel the rage that instantly boiled within Eve. With her hand already on the handle of 'final solution', I was forced out of my trance. Turning around, I simply looked at her and shaken my head to the sides to indicate her that it's not worth acting impulsively.
”What now, are you asking for help from a female? What, did you turn into a manwhore to be able to come here? What a pity! I should've killed you back then instead of banishing you! At least, you wouldn't bring shame to our regretfully shared blood!”
With insult after insult uttered by his foul mouth, even I was starting to get irritated. Even as someone from the earth, being insulted by an inferior being might be a funny thing at first, but it turns annoying rather quickly.
”Guards!”
Not willing to commit myself to the case as that could be taken as bullying the weak, I simply call out to the guards that are patrolling the nearby areas.
”What? Are you going to hide behind guards? Like they could pose any threat to me! Do you even know who is my backer?”
As my cousin whose name I won't even mention kept ranting, I patiently waited for the guards to come closer. Without a surprise, despite his haughty attitude before, as soon as the city service got close enough to hear what was going on, he stopped his insults and simply stood on the spot.
”This man is trying to…”
”This man has no right to be here! He is a spy!”
Before I managed to finish my sentence, my dear cousin broke into the conversation with his own words.
”I know him very well. He was banished from my family for lacking any talent towards cultivation! Just by being here, he is insulting the idea of the ancestors that created this magnificent city in the first place!”
”This man is trying to stir trouble. You can ask anyone around who attempted to start the fight. We are calmly waiting in the queue, and it would be bothersome for someone like him to keep bothering everyone around. Would you please be so kind as to remove him from this place? This queue is long enough even without any interference.”
Patiently waiting for my kin to finish his words, I simply repeated what I was going to say before. No matter what, keeping my calm is the best choice for now!
”Sirs, if you have any personal grudge between you, please, refrain from making trouble to the others. And I will need you to show your participation token Sir.”
Even when asked for the jade token, I didn't budge any bit. While it's true that only real cultivators are allowed inside the city during the tournament event, the participation token allows one to bring up to two servants, helpers or simply friends with him.
”Eve, my dear, would you be so kind?”
Still keeping my calm, I turn my head to my beloved one, only to see her with the token already in her hand.
”This should be enough, am I right?”
