56 Unreasonable Issabella vs Viero (1/2)
Thirty minutes since the restaurant guard went. The guard returned to the place and stood far from Issabella's table. He saw the defeated young master had turned into an ugly pig. Even the pig was cuter than the young master.
Trevon had already sat in his chair and enjoyed his dumplings. He also had taken some pills from his grandmother to remove his internal and external damage.
Max and his other friends didn't dare to stop the fight. They only stood on the side, the lady hadn't allowed them to move from the premise. Those young masters and lady had seen the Lady attacked their friend unexpectedly. Their bodyguards also stood behind their young masters and lady. The young lady even cried, but she tried not making noises.
”It has been a long time since I meet you, Lady Issabella.” A middle-aged man appeared. In his heart, he complained. [Why could this woman in the city?]
Trevon looked into the incoming middle-aged man. He had several white hairs on his head, but his posture still expressed a powerful pressure on Trevon. His thin and sharp eyebrow added with his sharp eyes looked into Issabella. A thin mustache and a short goatee decorated his dignified face.
”Issabella greeted Master Viero.” Issabella greeted the middle-aged man. Viero Redwood was the Peak Rank 3 warrior from Redwood family. He had received some damages during the kidnapping trouble. Because of this he was recuperating and didn't cultivate. This was the reason he could come this quickly.
Viero was the only Rank 3 warrior in Redwood family. He was almost two thousand years old and even older than Issabella. Therefore, she gave him some respects. Issabella was also a powerful warrior almost reaching Peak Rank 3 warrior. Only Viero could stand in the same standing with Issabella from Redwood family.
Trevon scouted into the middle-aged man whom his grandmother called Master Viero. He knew for powerful cultivators; the face was a lie. They would be living histories.
[Name: Viero Redwood]
[Age: 1.853 Years]
[Sex: Male]
[Species: Human]
[Potential: 73/73]
[Determination: 89]
[Cultivation Speed: 68]
[Loyalty: 92]
[As expected, he is an old fogey. He has used all his potentials.] Trevon thought.
He knew checking ability would result in a long and useless panel that Celestial Readers hated. However, Master Rabbink kept suggesting him to scout that information. It said something about word counts. Trevon didn't want to help the Rabbink.
”It was an unfortunate incident with your cultivation.” Issabella seemed to regret something. She gave a thoughtful expression.
”It is no big deal.” Viero knew Issabella intentionally stabbed at his wound. [This woman is a viper behind that beautiful mask.] He didn't change his expression from Issabella words.
”The most important part is to ensure the safety of Redwood citizen. May I sit at your table?” Viero asked. He knew that this beautiful lady had attacked a prince for brazenly sat at her table. It was a famous event in Heavenly Phoenix a few hundred years ago. Viero was still a Top Rank 3 warrior and Issabella was still only a Beginner Rank 3 warrior.
Issabella took one of the cups and poured some tea. She brought it to an empty chair. ”It is my pleasure Master Viero.” She smiled again.
Viero sat on the free seat. ”It is me who had the pleasure to enjoy a cup of tea from Lady Issabella.” This was true. Not every prince could have the chance to drink with Issabella.
Viero took a sip. ”What is the reason of the lady coming to Redwood?” He tried to probe. [She must be called to Redwood because of the mutated demon beast and the star stones.] He thought in his heart.
”It is to ask an answer for my grandson misfortune. Since the accident, he was feeling unwell. My dear, tell that to this uncle. He could help you.” She gave a wink to Trevon.
That was a deadly wink, if Trevon wasn't her biological grandson, he would die from a nosebleed. Some male passersby started to get a heart attack and fell into the street.
Trevon knew what he needed to do. ”It is my sword.” He showed a heartache expression. The young master imagined being far away from Margareth and Cecillia. It was so heartbreaking for him.
”What happened with your sword? I only heard you were taken as a hostage. You even almost died in the incident. This is why your grandmother quickly came here to get an answer from Redwood Family. What is this swords incident?” Issabella asked. She had heard about the explosion in the report, but she acted like she didn't know. The beautiful grand elder actually came because she was feeling bored.
”Grandma must haven't heard the news. I lost my precious sword at a banquet. I was having a friendly exchange with Young Master Leon from Redwood family...” Trevon started to explain his side of the story.
”I gracefully managed to beat him...” He continued while making some sword swings. The shameless young master told how brave he exchanged swords with a more powerful young master.
Issabella still drinking her tea while listening to Trevon.
”Grandma must know he is a Primary Rank 2 warrior.” Trevon proudly bragged. He knew he would get some rewards from his grandmother for beating a powerful warrior. His grandma would use this to brag to other grand elders.
Viero almost spat blood. He had heard about the fight from other Redwood young masters. [This young master entered the battle after Leon had fought multiple battles. Trevon also acted sheep to eat pig before suddenly attacked using an artifact.]
”After the battle, he borrowed the sword from me. As a friend, of course, I let him checked my sword. However, it turned into a blast that almost killed me. Young Master Leon without my permission injected his spiritual energy into the sword.” Trevon pretended to be so shocked.
”My sword was gone.” He almost cried. The spoiled young master imagined having to face troublemeter every day.
”Oh, my dear! That must be so stressful for you.” Issabella gave a hug to Trevon. ”Your grandma quickly came because I heard you were involved in as a hostage. I never imagined you were treated this badly by Redwood family. I want the compensation for my grandson stress. While he seemed OK, he had lots of nightmares because of this.”
”Of course, our Redwood family will compensate Young Master Trevon for the sword.” Viero had heard about this.
In the end, they would need to compensate Trevon for their sword. It was borrowed and lost before many young masters and ladies. Their external elders were in negotiation with elders from the McArthur family to get a better price.
Viero could imagine this woman came because of her grandson. He had heard she was overprotective of her family. [Why that Jacob need to involve this evil woman's grandson.] He started to curse Jacob's ancestors. Finally, Viero stopped after he realized that he was one of the spoiled young master's ancestors.
[If the accident didn't happen, perhaps McArthur family will only send some common Rank 3 warriors.] He thought.
”Who is talking about the sword?” Issabella frowned. It added another dimension to her supreme beauty. ”What is important is his mental health. He almost lost his life. You couldn't imagine. He is only a 15 years old kid this year.” Issabella pinched Trevon. Trevon wanted to scream, but he managed to turn the pain into even more tears.
”Hu... Hu... Hu...” Trevon acted. No. His crying was real. [Aw!!! This is really hurt.]
[I also heard you have fun with the fruit merchants playing pointing fruits and with some kids playing pointing tables.] Viero thought in his heart. He couldn't imagine Trevon that stressed. [Wait! Is it because he is so stressed?] He started to imagine things.
”Of course, we will address such problem.” Viero said. He also knew this beautiful woman also an unreasonable person.
”The medical cost would be one million spirit stones. Since we are an old acquaintance, I will act as his guardian and asked just five hundred thousand spirit stones for him. This is not a big money for such a big family like Redwood, right?”
Viero really wanted to explode. This demand was clearly an extortion. Even the best psychological treatment in Heavenly Phoenix wouldn't cost that much. A genius young master like Leon would only receive about one hundred and twenty thousand spirit stones in a year.
”But Lady Issabella, your grandson was happily moving around in the town. He loved to visit the fruit merchants and played with some kids in the old gallery. We have given him a great price for rental and cleaning the mess behind.” Viero tried to explain to her.
But the next sentence made Viero understood the meaning of unreasonable. ”That is because he is so stressful. He acted like that. My grandson is a good and innocent kid. He had never played around.” She pinched Trevon even hard.
Trevon cried even harder. ”HUA... Hua... Hua...”
[It is so painful.] He thought. However, he was in acting. If he messed his part, his grandmother would do the unthinkable to him. He also would get more money this way for his harem dream, so he gladly continued the act.
”HUA... HUA... HUA...” Trevon cried even harder.
