Hail the King

From the symbols alone, it seems like these people weren’t of low-status in the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group], and they all looked like arrogant hooligans. As soon as they walked up to the second floor, they glanced around viciously. When they noticed that there were kids who were wearing ragged clothes, one of the mercenaries who had a red bandana on his head and a cross scar on his right cheek frowned.

“What is going on? This restaurant is quite upscale here; why are there so many little beggars in here? Damn! They are dirty, and I’m losing my appetite!” this man with the cross scar murmured to himself angrily.

A tall and thin mercenary behind him understood what he meant. He slapped the table in front of him and shouted overbearingly, “The [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] is hosting a meeting with masters from the [Fire Blood Mercenary Group], and we are taking all the tables on the second floor. Anyone who is not related should leave right now! Otherwise, bear the potential consequences yourselves!”

There weren’t many guests on the second floor, and the ones who were here all paled after hearing the name of this mercenary group. Some of them wanted to yell back at first, but they now decided to pack up and go down the stairs without hesitation.

Inzagi frowned and pulled back the other black knights who were about to confront these mercenaries. Then, he called over the waiters and asked them to move all the dishes on the tables to the first floor. After that, he waved at Danielle and the kids and tried to continue eating on the first floor.

“Damn! Such a hottie! Look at that waist! It must be great when riding her!” a few mercenaries saw Danielle who was wearing red leather armor, and their eyes lit up as they whistled at her.

Danielle only gave them a hard stare.

She heard of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] before, and she knew that she couldn’t fight against them. In order not to cause more trouble for Inzagi and others, she just headed toward the stairs with anger on her face.

“Hahaha!” Seeing this, the mercenaries of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] got even more reckless and arrogant as they laughed and slapped the table.

The tall and thin mercenary who shouted at first had a sly smile on his face. When little Millie was walking by him, he suddenly moved one of his feet forward and tripped this little loli who didn’t expect this.

Bam! Millie fell onto the ground, and her nose started to bleed. The acute pain made this girl cry instantly.

“You……” Danielle was infuriated.

She saw what this mercenary did, but she was much weaker and wasn’t able to react in time to save Millie.

“What? This dirty little beggar stepped on my foot and stained my precious magic battle boots. How should we settle this?” That tall and thin mercenary looked at Danielle up and down with a lustful smile on his face. As he laughed, he continued, “Hottie, are you a relative of this little girl? Hehe, great! How are you going to compensate me? It is going to be at least a few gold coins. Hehehe, if you don’t have this much money, then you have to come over and accompany us for a bit.”

These mercenaries had more important things to do, and they shouldn’t keep a stranger on the second floor. However, Danielle was really pretty, and her figure was almost perfect as well. On top of that, she had a unique temperament that ordinary girls didn’t have. Therefore, the mercenaries from the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group] couldn’t hold themselves back.

“We haven’t done anything for several days since we arrived at Chambord City. This pretty girl looks like a mercenary, and she is only wearing ordinary clothes. She probably doesn’t have a big background, and we can kill her after we vent our urges on her. No one is going to know a thing!” they thought.

“You…… don’t push it! You tripped Millie on purpose!” Danielle shouted at this tall and thin mercenary angrily after she helped Millie to get up and wiped the blood off Millie’ face heartbrokenly.

“These guys are too bad! How could they do such a thing to a kid? They are vicious and made Millie fell hard,” she thought.

“Hahahaha! I am pushing it! What can you do? I did it on purpose! Are you going to compensate me or not?” that tall and thin mercenary asked loudly.

Little Millie was scared, and she shrunk in Danielle’s arms and didn’t even dare to cry.

Inzagi who already walked downstairs with the other kids came back to the second floor. He looked around and instantly understood the situation. As he frowned, he whispered something into Owen’s ears as the latter came over. Then, Inzagi patted Danielle’s shoulder and walked down with her and little Millie.

“You want to go? Damn it! You are seeking death! You b*stards……” This tall and thin mercenary was enraged after seeing this.

As he slammed the table and was about to chase, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

When this mercenary saw a young black knight easily blocking his way, he was stunned by the speed that this mysterious young man demonstrated. He didn’t dare to make a move without more information, so he asked angrily, “Who are you? How dare you interfere with the matter of the [Wind Horse Mercenary Group]? F*ck off!”

“Didn’t you say that you want compensation?” Owen opened his palm and showed ten shiny gold coins. Then, he tossed them to this tall and thin mercenary, and the gold coins stacked on top of each other beside the latter’s feet, forming a perfect cylinder. Then, Owen laughed provoking, “The money is here. It is up to you to get it!”

“Yuck! You little b*stard! How dare you try to play tricks in front of me?” The thin and tall mercenary was stunned for a second, and he fell for the provocation. He pulled out his sword and slashed it at Owen furiously.

Owen sneered and dashed away.

Whoosh! His body disappeared like a phantom.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A series of air-piercing noises sounded, and blood was spilled. The tall and thin mercenary was surprised at first, and then he started to scream like a pig that was being slaughtered.

The right leg that he used to trip little Millie was chopped off from the knee, and it fell beside the stack of gold coins.

As a desperate expression appeared on his face, his body silvered and fell to the ground as he continued to scream and groan.

Tink! Tink! Tink!

All the mercenaries on the second floor were shocked, but they reacted instantly. They all drew out their weapons and quickly surrounded Owen. With murderous expressions on their faces, they stood in their positions and even blocked off possible escape paths such as the windows and stairs.

The leader who had a cross scar on his right cheek walked up and looked down at Owen with a serious expression. He opened his mouth and said, “Interesting; I didn’t expect myself to misjudge people…… Where are you from?”

“What? You trying to befriend me after losing to me?” Owen didn’t panic. Instead, he scolded them ferociously, “Since you are in Chambord City, you should keep quiet. You guys are way too weak, and you are just bringing shame to your [Wind Horse Mercenary Group]. Even your group leader wouldn’t dare to be reckless in front of Our Majesty. Who are you? How dare you to behave this way?”

“You…… you are under the King of Chambord?” This man with the cross scar on his cheek was shocked.

“I’m one of the [Four Spikes] under King Alexander His Majesty’s command, [Killing Spike] Michael Owen.” This young black knight quickly gave himself a cool nickname.

Since they were young, Owen and his peers had strange ideas. Therefore, Owen and the three others thought of cool nicknames for themselves, and they named their group, [Four Spikes]. They thought of their nicknames for a while now, and they finally got to use it today.

After hearing Owen’s words, this man with the cross scar on his face turned ugly.
