164 As long as you stay out of my way (1/2)
Holding the spear in his hands, he started to bend the spear. It was a simple feat for him to bend the spear using his strength plus metal bending skill.
The people stood there dumbstruck as the spear started to bend and take a 'U' shape. And when it reached a certain point, he snapped the spear in two halves.
”Do you yield?”
Don calmly asked Rodrigo while holding the two halves of the spear in each hand.
”You wish”
Rodrigo seemed like he's not giving up until he couldn't stand as Don nodded and tossed the spear halves into the air.
While the two halves were on the air, he dashed forward at Rodrigo and started to treat his body like a punching bag. Most of them could only see Rodrigo twitch and hear bone-cracking sounds.
Unlike most of them, Rosaline could see he landed at least fifty or so punches on Rodrigo's body in a short amount of time. And when the two halves finally landed on the ground, he stopped punching Rodrigo.
”Rodrigo”
King Enrico shouted when he saw Rodrigo fall to the ground.
”He'll live”
Don looked at Enrico and said as the guards of Enrico already came running to the battleground to check whether he's alive or not. King Enrico only sighed in relief when the guards told him that he's alive.
” You can defeat him right?”
Aster looked at Rosaline and asked but Rosaline had no answer as she wasn't sure that she could defeat him if they fought. Since she trained as a long-ranged mage and he was extremely fast who could reach her before she even cast a spell, the odds of her winning didn't seem to be on her side.
After the guards of Enrico took Rodrigo away, Don calmly looked at the nobles and kings sitting on their thrones as there was no sound from the crowd and the people waited for him to speak.
”Until now, I've heard you talk and I listened, now I'll talk you listen”
He paused for a moment and continued
”When I first received the invitation to the gathering, I thought its a token of respect from everyone” he looked at Queen Cassia and King Virgo
”I was wrong, nothing came out of this gathering but trouble for me and I also learned that some of you hold a grudge against me” King Mattia felt like it was meant for him
”But if you decide to make a move against me or my people, don't expect me to play politics with you because I don't do politics, what I do is, I'll send my entire army to your doorsteps and I'll personally come to kill you and everyone who stands in my way”
King Mattia had a cold sweat on his back as no one spoke a word
”As long as you stay out of my way, I won't do anything”
He said and then looked at Lord Clemo and Arrora
”Let's go”
He didn't want to stay until the gathering end and get into more unnecessary trouble.
”That's my king bitches”
The other kings and nobles were dumbstruck seeing him walking out without even taking a glance at King Virgo or Queen Cassia. It was rude of him to leave like this but no one dared to speak a word against him, even Queen Cassia.
Fortunately, King Virgo didn't open his mouth but his eyes had already turned red in anger.
”He has some balls”
Yvonne grinned after seeing them leave the arena.
**********************************
”What just happened?”
Arwen came with the men when he saw the three of them.
”We can talk about it on the way”
As he said, he went to his carriage and entered it to leave Enarin.
”I assume you fought with someone”
Looking at the tears on her dress, Arwen asked and she nodded her head
”Come, let's go”
General Brown had no idea what happened inside besides the sounds of explosions he heard a moment ago. He got no chance of asking them as Arwen nodded at him and started to march towards the white orchard road to leave Enarin.
Joel was still in Enarin to find what the kings are talking about after Don's departure.TImothy and the red-haired princess never bothered King Edward because he seemed like an ally to Don since they both came to the gathering together and everyone saw and heard both of them having a friendly chat during the gathering.
Yvonne, on the other hand, became richer due to the betting and told everyone that she and Adria are like best buds. Rodrigo had woken up after Don left Enarin and seemed fine except for a few broken ribs, punctured lungs, severed tissues but King Enrico was glad that he's still alive considering he just fought a peak level grandmaster who could have simply killed him on the spot.
After waking up, Rodrigo learned everything that happened after he lost consciousness from King Enrico.
”He seems a very interesting guy, father, I'm starting to like that one”
”What do you mean interesting?”
