Standing beside the sand table of the Dukedom of Leo in the side hall of the city lord’s mansion of Lionheart City, Kant set aside the five flags representing the enormous power of the five world noble families, they were not directly inserted into the castle of the five world noble families on the sand table in the South County.
“Forget it. Let’s go and see the purpose of these five guys’ visit. Although I am absolutely sure that it is not a good thing, I still have to confirm it,” Kant said to himself. Then, he left the side hall of the city lord’s mansion.
When he arrived at the main hall, Kant saw that the four counts, who were the top nobles of the Dukedom of Leo, were verbally attacking him. And his brother, Carl. Cameron, who was more of a half-brother in name than in substance, was brushing off the four top counts with a fake smile on his face. He was actually apologizing to the four top counts on Kant’s behalf in the name of his brother, Kant. At the same time, he also criticized Kant from time to time, the only thing he said was that Kant did not have noble qualities. The fault was that the Cameron family and his older brother did not educate Kant well.
As if to take revenge on Kant, the four top-ranking nobles did not stop talking even when they saw Kant coming in, Count Simon. Prynne said in a bad tone, “Carl, your father, the Grand Duke Cameron, was too merciful. Back then, he should have first confirmed the noble qualities of Baron Kant before giving him the title of nobility and fief.”
After saying that, Count Simon. Prynne even glared at Kant, with a hint of a demonstration.
Kant only felt that it was ridiculous.
He did not believe that the four top-class counts of the Dukedom of Leo, who had world nobles in their families, would not know that Kant had been promoted to a world noble in the main plane of Isai?
What was the difference in status between a world noble and an ordinary noble? The difference was like the day and night. It was even greater than the difference in status between a top-class noble of the Dukedom of Leo and an ordinary serf. This was the difference between a god and a mortal. Back then, in order to meet Kant, 51 world nobles had knocked out everyone in the Noble District in the Eastern District of Lionheart City. The upper-class nobles of the Dukedom of Leo did not even have the right to know of their existence.
But now, Count Simon. Prynne had actually used his eyes to demonstrate his power to Kant, a real world noble. It was as laughable as an ant threatening an elephant.
Kant was not a soft and bad person. He revealed a sneer, and a dark red aura suddenly circulated around his body.
A vast and majestic aura unscrupulously circulated around Kant’s body and targeted the five people ruthlessly.
The five of them, who were originally calm and collected, now had solemn expressions and even a trace of fear on their faces, even though they had the strength of peak grand knight.
Kant’s aura was too terrifying for them.
It was as if a male lion, who had been lying on his stomach and sleeping with his eyes narrowed, suddenly opened his eyes and let out a furious roar at the five little sheep who had ignored him at the beginning. The five little sheep were terrified. At this moment, the four top counts of the Dukedom of Leo and Carl. Cameron was even more terrified.
Because the gap between them and Kant was much greater than the gap between the male lion and sheep.
When Kant saw the miserable appearance of the five people, he smiled sarcastically and withdrew the dark red Power of War that was circulating around his body.
This was only to give them some deterrence and punishment for daring to criticize and ignore him. As for bullying them with their imposing manner? Kant was not so bored. He and these five people were not on the same level. If he were to lower himself to their level, it would be a disgrace to his status.
Unless these five people dared to provoke Kant, Kant would not care too much about them — for the sake of the world nobles standing behind them.
“Five distinguished guests, now you can explain your purpose of coming!” Kant took the exquisite clay cup handed over by the attendant and sat on the main seat of the main hall of the city lord’s mansion. He held the exquisite clay cup in his right hand and played with it while he spoke to the five nobles who were sitting on the guest seats and had the highest authority in the entire lion empire on the surface.
The expressions of the four top-ranking counts were a little sullen. What kind of noble status were they? Even Grand Duke Cameron, who was also a world noble, treated them according to the etiquette of the noble. He was like a gentleman. How dare Kant treat them like this?
As for Carl. Cameron’s face was gloomy. Kant did not have any intention of treating him, this “elder brother”, differently from the other four counts. This was simply a slap to his face. God knows how many words he had said to the four top-ranking counts in the name of Kant’s brother before Kant arrived. Even with his shrewdness, he could no longer maintain a calm expression.
“Viscount Karl, it’s better for you to speak!” Count Cody. Maud said.
After hearing Count Cody. Maud’s words, Karl. Cameron nodded and put away his gloomy expression.
“Brother!” Viscount Karl seemed to have forgotten that Kant had completely ignored him. His tone was somewhat affectionate as he said, “Our purpose of coming here is related to the God of War.”
Kant’s expression was indifferent as he said, “Viscount Karl Cameron, please pay attention to your words. Call me Baron Kant, or His Highness Kant! I, Kant, have never thought that I have a brother!”
Looking at the man who was eight or nine years older than him and looked very calm and steady, and who a similar face but a huge difference in the color of his eyes, Kant revealed a trace of a mocking smile.
“I, Kant, have never had any family in this world.”
When I was sixteen years old, my father gave me the title of baron and gave me the Nahrin Desert as my estate. This was indirectly asking me to die. If not for the system, my bones would probably have been buried in the sand of the Nahrin Desert.
My mother had passed away when I was born, so there was no way to talk about their relationship.
My older brother was eight or nine years older than me. Now that I was 18 years old, this was the first time he met me.
This is family? I, Kant, don’t have any family in this world, and I don’t need any family!
“Brother!” Carl. Cameron called out with red eyes, as if Kant’s words had deeply stimulated him, “How can you say that? We all have our father’s blood flowing in our bodies. This is the blood of our closest kin. Nothing can tear it apart!”
Kant directly ignored Carl’s horrible acting performance that made him feel like vomiting, at the same time, a wisp of dark red Power of War quietly climbed onto the exquisite ceramic cup that he was playing with. “Viscount Carl. Cameron, I don’t like to repeat what I’ve said a second time. If you dare to continue to ignore my will, I will teach you how to face it squarely, if you still have the chance after I teach you!”
Carl. Cameron felt Kant’s cold pressure on him, as well as the terrifying killing intent that he did not unleash. A hint of fear quickly entered his heart. As a peak grand knight, he was even drenched in cold sweat on his goose down inner lining. The inner lining stuck to his back, making him feel extremely uncomfortable. He thought with a slight tremble, “Kant, he’s actually serious. He doesn’t even care about the blood relationship between me and him. Blood-related brotherhood. He really dares to kill me! He doesn’t even care about his father, a world noble. This b*stard, if I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have treated him like trash and left him to fend for himself in Lionheart City. Instead, I should have killed him earlier!”
Under Kant’s oppression, Carl. Cameron lowered his head, but his eyes were filled with madness and hatred. “I have to endure! I have to endure! When my father dies in battle, I will successfully awaken my real name and become the next world noble of the Cameron family. Then, I will wash away the shame that Kant, this b*stard, has brought me today!”
Carl. Cameron said humbly, “As you wish, Lord Kant!”
The four top-ranking counts looked at each other. Their original plan — to rely on blood ties to win Kant over had failed. Next, they could only threaten him. This matter was originally done by Kant’s brother, Carl. Cameron had done it after winning Kant over. But now they looked at Carl, who had shown humility in front of Kant, they quietly made changes to the original second plan.
At this time, Kant took a sip of the sweet drink in the exquisite clay cup in his hand. Then he said, “Now, you can continue to state your intentions.”
Kant’s voice was extremely flat, and one could not tell whether he was happy or angry.
If the generals who were familiar with Kant were beside Kant, they would know that Kant’s tone meant that he was not happy.
Carl. Cameron had already said that they were here for the matter of the God of War, Edmund. The God of War, Edmund, had once said that the noble would not let him off. After a year of peace, the noble finally found him. The nobles here naturally had their real names, and were incomparably powerful world nobles. Behind the five people who had arrived were the five world nobles from the Dukedom of Leo. It would be strange if Kant was in a good mood.
“They really came with ill intentions!” Kant thought as he quietly waited for the five people to continue.
“Let me say it!” Seeing Carl. Cameron was about to open his mouth, Count Cody. Maud immediately said. At this moment, Carl. Cameron looked like he had been completely suppressed by Kant. How could he say that he was threatening Kant? When the four top-level counts looked at each other, they tacitly excluded this point. And in their hearts, they were also vegan to look down at Carl. Cameron. His father was clearly an extraordinary knight and a world noble, yet he was so easily subdued by another world noble. One had to know that, Carl. Cameron now represented the entire Cameron family. If he were to submit like this, some of those who met the standard, Duke Cameron, would also want Kant to submit.
Carl. Cameron was also a person with a clear mind. When he saw the four top-ranked counts looking at him, how could he not know what they were thinking? He felt a little wronged. He believed that if he faced the killing intent of a world noble alone, presumably, the performance of these four top-ranked counts would not be much better than his. However, he was unable to explain this reason to the four top-ranked counts in front of Kant.
However, Carl. Cameron’s hatred towards Kant had deepened. He was despised by the four top-ranked counts at the same time. In the end, it was not because Kant forced him. These four top-ranked counts were the ones who were like him, Carl. Cameron was on the same level as his peers. Being despised by them was no less than being despised by his peers. This was an extremely painful thing.
Even though Carl. Cameron’s hatred towards Kant had deepened, he still smiled at Count Cody. Maud said,
“Then Count Maud, I’ll have to trouble you!”
Count Cody. Maud said, “Baron Kant, you massacred the god of war and caused tremendous damage to the interests of our five families! “We are here today to inform you of this matter and ask you to compensate us on behalf of the five world noble families behind us!”
Count Cody. Maud’s tone was very strong because his family’s world noble, Tyr. Isai. Maud was the most powerful baron among the world noble families in Isai. They knew that Kant had also met Tyr. Isai. Maud. According to Count Cody Maud’s thoughts, he had made his stance clear and represented Tyr. Isai. Maud had made his stance clear.
In the face of such a huge difference in strength, Baron Kant had no choice but to accept his fate. Moreover, he wasn’t the only one representing Tyr. Isai. Maud had come to force Kant. Instead, the five great noble families of the Dukedom of Leo had joined forces to force Kant.
Kant only said faintly, “Tell me in detail, how did I slaughter the god of War will harm the interests of your family? What compensation do you want from me?”
Count Cody. Maud heard Kant asking for details and only thought that Kant had accepted his fate, his tone was a little more relaxed. “The God of War, Edmund, was once one of our five great families’ ally gods. Our family allowed him to spread his faith on the land of the Dukedom of Leo, and he gave us the divine stone as a reward. The divine stone is an important resource for our five great families to fight against the demons. In simple terms, a divine stone is equivalent to the power of ten grand knights when fighting against the demons.”
After a pause, Count Cody. Maud continued, “In the past, the God of War paid our five great families ten divine stones every month. Now, in a year, there should be 120 divine stones. Baron Kant, you massacred the God of War. To us five families, it is no less than losing the power of 1,200 grand knights. We are here this time to hope that Baron Kant will compensate us for this!”
Seeing that Kant had already heard the content of the compensation and still had a faint expression, Count Cody. Maud’s voice suddenly carried a sense of oppression. He raised his voice by an octave, “Baron Kant, after discussion, our five families have given you two compensation plans.”
Count Cody. Maud deliberately paused for a moment, waiting for Kant to ask a question, but Kant completely ignored him.
He had no choice but to state these two compensation plans in a threatening tone, “First, you can directly compensate the power of 1,200 grand knights of our five great families. Second, you can use your blood to compensate. A drop of the blood of the world baron can allow a soldier at the peak of the knight realm to advance to the grand knight realm. Given that even the blood of the noble of the world is limited, we only need you to compensate us with 500 drops of your blood!”
