274 Dexter Again (2/2)
After hearing this voice, Knight slowly exhaled in his heart. In the end, Martian might get what he wanted from him.
Richard's voice rang out in the stone hall, as Knight turned his gaze to look at the former, before casting a glance towards the sneering Dexter and the rest behind
”You want something?” he calmly asked while Martian and his friends looked a bit tensed looking at the situation.
”You've snatched my House Moonwin's Energy Armament, do you really think you can just leave like this?” Richard replied in an indifferent voice.
hearing these words, Martian's expression darkened because dealing with Dexter was one thing but dealing with Richard is a whole different thing. However before he could say anything, he heard Knight's calm voice again.
”I don't recall taking anything of yours”
”Bastard, don't think of lying. You destroyed my Energy Armament using evil techniques and snatched away the Hammer that I obtained first” Dexter coldly snorted as he said.
Seeing him lie through his teeth showing no shame on his face, Knight couldn't help but burst into laughter. This guy's ability to lie so boldly was truly amazing.
This sudden change also caused the crowd to understand that there were some discrepancies between what happened and what he had said. Regarding what had actually happened, the crowd really did not care, because everyone knew that the people of House Moonwin were usually arrogant and domineering. Since Knight was alone today, given Dexter's and the rest's status, they would definitely not let this issue rest so easily.
”Miss Loretta, this is a grudge between my House Moonwin and this person.” Richard casually looked towards Knight before declaring this to Loretta.
Though he did not finish his words, Loretta understood his intention. Saying nothing, she slowly took two steps back, showing that she would not interfere.
Knight did not find her actions unexpected as he knew what was going on inside her head. First, if he died fighting them, she could snatch away his space ring, and second, she would no longer owe him anymore if he's dead.
Sterling and Milan merely gazed at the scene from an aloof point of view except Milan's gaze scanned Lia from top to bottom for a moment.
”Dexter, don't lie, David obtained that hammer first, when did he use an evil technique? Everyone in the hall knew what really happened” While the crowd was waiting to see a good show, a charming voice suddenly rang out. The crowd turned, only to find that it was Martian.
Upon seeing Martian open his mouth to speak, Dexter's expression slightly changed, while Richard's eyebrows furrowed a little. He did not expect that the Lakewood academy people would actually step in.
”Martian, stop talking nonsense, and don't interfere in a Great family's matters!” To one side, Sterling's coldly said. His eyebrows had also furrowed when he saw that Martian had actually spoken out.
”Brother Sterling, David is a friend of Lakewood Academy.” Martian hastily said. Richard was usually very bossy, today, this matter may only be solved if Sterling stepped in. And in front of House Windfield, Lakewood academy paled in comparison in terms of power and connections. Besides, Lakewood academy's head current head was a member of the Windfield House, so Martian had to respect Sterling.
”I have never seen these two in Lakewood, which family do they hail from?” Sterling was taken aback, his eyebrow knitted together as he looked at Knight and Lia.
”He...he is from the Avelon Continent'' Martian bit his teeth and said. He knew that compared to Elvelon, the status of the Avelon continent was extremely low, because most of the Avelon continent's land was occupied by resourceless outerlands, unlike Elvelon which was extremely rich in natural resources like Life Energy, Life stone deposits, and various riches.
”Avelon continent huh?” Sterling took his head, a look of indifference in his eyes. If Knight was truly a student of Lakewood, he might reluctantly step in. However, since he was from another continent who had no ties to the Great families, there was no need. It truly was not worthwhile to sour the relationship with the House Moonwin for a so-called friend of Martian's.
”You no longer need to care about this matter.” Upon hearing Sterling's indifferent tone, Martian's heart turned cold.
Knight stood on the spot calm as clear water. He was able to hear the contempt in Sterling's voice. Although he had no idea about his origin or power, it was evident that the latter did not once think of him as someone who could kill him before he says the word 'shit'.
”I did not expect that they were friends of Lakewood. Since that is the case, I should not make things too difficult for them. Sterling, you shall settle this matter.” Richard chuckled as he said.
He nodded as his gaze turned towards Knight and Lia, considering for a moment before he said: ”Since you have a little relation to Lakewood, I will be the judge for you this time. How about this, hand over the Energy Armament, then apologize to Dexter and the rest, and we shall drop this matter.”
After hearing these words, Martian's pretty face once again changed.
”You want me to apologize?”
He asked with a little chuckle, but Lia could sense the beast in his awakening by feeling the murderous aura around him. He stared at Sterling's arrogant face, letting out another cold laugh as he said,
”You guys are really dumb!”
