Ethan Knapp vaguely felt that the other person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
"Do you think I'm hurt?"
Ethan Knapp suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked with a smile.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man in scholar's robe seemed to finally relax and said repeatedly: "As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."
And when he turned to look at the other people present, his elegant and easy-going face was filled with cold majesty, and he said:
"Astaroth Clark, you are so brave!"
The sound is like thunder, shocking people's hearts.
Astaroth Clark face changed drastically when the man in Confucian robes appeared. Now being scolded like this, he couldn't help but stiffen and could no longer sit still.
He stood up suddenly and asked with a surprised look: "brother Edith, why are you here?"
"City... City Lord?"
Orion Clark was also startled and stood up in a panic, with a look of confusion on his face. When did Ethan Knapp get involved with the city lord? ?
The man in green robe also seemed to be panicked. He immediately put away the dagger in his hand, lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Mr.Edith!"
At the same time, Nigel Joanna also quickly clasped his fists and saluted: "I have seen you in this humble position, sir!"
Suddenly, all eyes were focused on the man in Confucian robes.
Lysander Edith!
The Lord of Guangling City, a great martial artist in the Qi Gathering Realm, holds great power and is as powerful as the sky!
"It turned out to be him."
Ethan Knapp Yi finally realized, but he felt a little confused in his heart. He didn't seem to have any friendship with the other party.
Could it be...
Suddenly, Ethan Knapp thought of a possibility.
He said nothing and looked on coldly.
"If I hadn't come, how could I have seen you , Astaroth Clark, so majestic?"
Lysander Edith eyes were cold, like an angry king, threatening and intimidating.
Astaroth Clark veins jumped in his forehead and he tried to calm down. He could not give Nigel Joanna face, but he had to be wary of Lysander Edith, the lord of the city.
"brother Edith, I have investigated Ethan Knapp's background. When he was the most powerful in the past, he was only the outer swordsman of Qinghe Sword Mansion."
"And now he is just an unappreciated son-in-law the Alice family, insignificant..."
Astaroth Clark thought about it and said, "I really don't know, with brother Edith Fu's respect, why should I help him stand out?"
This is exactly what Orion Clark, the man in green robe, and Nigel Joanna were wondering about.
"Insignificant?"
Lysander Edith eyes were full of sarcasm, and he said expressionlessly, "For the sake of our acquaintance before, I might as well tell you that before coming to Juxian Tower, infanta Sabrina said that Mr.Knapp has a few Just one hair, and I, Lysander Edith, will take off my head to pay the penalty!"
Those words were like thunder!
Everyone's expression changed and their whole bodies froze.
"You said he is...he is a friend of infanta Sabrina?"
Astaroth Clark looked at Ethan Knapp with a look of disbelief on his face.
infanta Sabrina!
This is a true relative of the emperor. Although she was born in the Carter family of Lanling, she is the princess personally canonized by the current Emperor of Zhou Dynasty!
That level of status is terrifying!
But, when did Ethan Knapp, a lowly son-in-law the Alice family, become friends with infanta Sabrina?
Nigel Joanna and the man in green robe also looked like they had seen a ghost, standing there stunned.
With their status, they naturally understand the true meaning of Lysander Edith words. In the heart of infanta Sabrina, the head of City Lord Lysander Edith is far less valuable than Ethan Knapp's life!
"Astaroth Clark, Astaroth Clark, just because of what you are doing now, I almost lost my head!"
Lysander Edith said coldly.
"I……"
Astaroth Clark could no longer remain calm and broke into a cold sweat.
Even if he is the head of the Huang clan and controls the wind and rain in Guangling City, he still has to be wary of Lysander Edith Shan.
As for infanta Sabrina, she is a noble figure that the entire the Clark family cannot offend!
"Father, who is this infanta Sabrina? She... can she be more powerful than my uncle?"
Orion Clark always spoke. He also realized that something was wrong with the situation, but because he was too young, he did not understand the power of it.
Snapped!
As soon as he finished speaking, Orion Clark received a slap on the face. He fell to the ground with a thud, his cheeks were red and swollen and bleeding, and he was dumbfounded.
Because the one who beat him was his father!
"Shut up!"
Astaroth Clark face was livid, his eyes burning with anger.
That terrifying look made Orion Clark feel cold all over, and he was trembling like chaff.
"If your uncle knew about this, I'm afraid he would divorce your aunt immediately, drive him out of the house, and draw a clear line with your the Clark family from now on!"
Lysander Edith sneered.
Orion Clark's aunt, Astaroth Clark's sister, was a concubine of "Ophideon", the governor of Yunhe County.
Ophideon, this is a big shot who ranks higher than the city lords of the nineteen cities in Yunhe County!
Because of this relationship between the Clark family and Ophideon, Lysander Edith would not have dared to offend the Clark family family in the past.
But now, it’s different!
Orion Clark finally realized the seriousness of the matter. He was stunned and lost his mind. He wanted to stand up, but he seemed to have lost all his strength and couldn't stand up.
At this time, how could Astaroth Clark care about his son?
He took a deep breath, bent down suddenly, bowed deeply to Su Yi, and said in a bitter voice:
"Huang was blind and didn't know that Mr.Knapp was a good friend of infanta Sabrina. I was confused and asked Mr.Knapp to atone for his sins!"
There was silence in the elegant room, everyone was silent, and their minds were in turmoil.
Astaroth Clark, the head of the Huang clan and a powerful figure in Guangling City, dared to be merciless even when he faced Nigel Joanna, the commander of the guards of the city lord's palace.
Even when facing the city lord Lysander Edith, he was just afraid.
But now, because of "infanta Sabrina", she bows her head to Ethan Knapp!
"Father……"
Orion Clark was stunned, feeling unspeakable helplessness in his heart.
In his heart, his father is like a mountain, supporting the sky and the earth.
But when I saw my father bowing his head and apologizing to a son-in-law like Ethan Knapp, it was like...the mountain in my heart collapsed!
The body of the man in green robe became more and more tense, and his expression was uncertain.
When Nigel Joanna saw all this, he laughed at himself. Look at this situation, why does Ethan Knapp need help from a character like himself?
Ethan Knapp raised his eyebrows slightly.
The head of the Huang family, who was arrogant before, now bowed his head in fear and apologized. How could he not understand that Astaroth Clark was not bowing to himself, but to the "infanta Sabrina"?
"Mr.Knapp, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"
Lysander Edith asked softly. When facing Su Yi, the Lord of Guangling City always maintained a respectful and respectful attitude and did not dare to show any slights.
Ethan Knapp looked at Orion Clark and said, "Do you still remember what I said here yesterday?"
Orion Clark was startled at first, then his face turned pale, his lips trembled and he said: "I..."
Before he could continue, Ethan Knapp continued: "I said I would give you a chance to retaliate, but as long as you choose to do so, you will suffer the consequences."
Of course Orion Clark remembered this sentence, but he didn't pay attention at all yesterday.
But now listening to these words, every word was like a cold and biting blade, piercing into the pit of his heart.
He was so frightened that he couldn't help but look at his father Astaroth Clark.
Astaroth Clark still maintained his posture of bowing his head. At this time, he couldn't help but panic. He gritted his teeth and said, "Mr.Knapp, I am willing to bear the consequences of this alone!"
Su Yi shook his head, looked at Lysander Edith again, and said: "It can be seen that Mr.Edith said so much just now, he also wanted Astaroth Clark and his son to understand the stakes and prevent them from doing more excessive actions and causing greater trouble. Woe.”
Lysander Edith's expression froze. He just deliberately showed off "infanta Sabrina", and indeed he had this intention.
After all, Astaroth Clark is the leader of the Clark family. Once he gets things done, he, the city lord, will also be affected.
But Lysander Edith didn't expect that Ethan Knapp could see through his little thoughts at a glance!
After calming down his mind, Lysander Edith straightened his expression and solemnly clasped his fists and said: "Mr.Knapp, you have a sharp eye. I really can't hide Fu's thoughts from you. However, Fu assures you that you can handle this matter, and Fu will never Nothing to say!"
Seeing the city lord's sworn assurance, the expressions of Astaroth Clark, Orion Clark, and the man in green robe changed again, and their hearts sank to the bottom.
Ethan Knapp Yi said calmly, "I never like to use other people's power to pressure others. What's more, Mr.Edith has done me a favor here. I won't make it difficult for you."
Lysander Edith suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
But he saw Ethan Knapp looking at the man in green robe not far away, and said with a smile: "Don't you like playing with daggers? Take out your dagger and chop off your own hand."
From the moment he entered the private room, the man in green robe had been playing with a knife, speaking strange words and acting frivolously. If Nigel Joanna hadn't suddenly arrived just now, he would have even planned to attack Ethan Knapp.
Ethan Knapp naturally would not ignore this person.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.
The green-robed man's name is Slython. He is the guard leader of the Clark family clan. He is a perfect being in the blood-moving realm. He can be regarded as a top-notch warrior in Guangling City.
If one of his hands is disabled, it will seriously affect his martial arts practice!
"Can I...can I make atonement in other ways?"
Slython face changed drastically and he was extremely nervous.
Ethan Knapp said nothing and looked at him with a smile.
Lysander Edith eyes were cold and he looked at Astaroth Clark.
The invisible pressure made Astaroth Clark feel tight in his chest, and finally said with an ugly face: "Slython, do it!"
Slython's face turned pale and his eyes were lifeless. Finally, he tremblingly took out the hidden dagger, pointed it at his right hand, and slashed it hard.
puff!
A bloody right hand fell to the ground, and blood spilled like a waterfall.
Slython cheeks were twitching in pain and his head was covered with sweat.
Ethan Knapp nodded, then moved his eyes to look at Astaroth Clark, "Just now, you asked me to kowtow step by step from here to the outside of Juxian Building. How do you think this matter should be resolved?"
Astaroth Clark pupils suddenly contracted.
Looking at Orion Clark again, his face turned pale with fear.
Lysander Edith and Nigel Joanna looked at each other with pity in their expressions, which was like shooting themselves in the foot.
If Astaroth Clark kowtows from here to the outside of Juxian Tower today... his reputation will be ruined, and he will never be able to raise his head again in this life!
"Father, I come to kowtow, I come to kowtow!!"
Suddenly, Orion Clark let out a cry of pain, lay down on the ground, and grabbed the ground with his head.
Boom!
The wooden floor shook violently, and the sound of kowtow was as dull as a drum.
Orion Clark a head injury and bleeding!
