Hail the King

As soon as Fei stepped onto the second floor, he almost laughed. The first few people he saw were the four guards who were supposed to protect Jessica. At the moment, they had bruises on their faces, and they were tied together by tight ropes that were made out of leather from demon beasts.

The strongest person amongst these four was a Four-Star Warrior, so it was clear that he couldn’t defeat that mysterious man who could command an Eight-Star Warrior.

From the look of it, it seemed like these four guards tried to fight back but were crushed and tied up. The good thing was that their opponent didn’t kill him.

Standing on the other side, there was a strong man who was holding a strangely-shaped curved knife, and he was emitting a dangerous sensation while looking at Fei and Husky in surprise. It was clear that this man cast that lethal knife energy at them.

Fei’s frown disappeared.

This warrior wasn’t a Chambordians.

He was wearing a pair of round-lantern-like pants, an opened jacket with grey and white strips on it, and a round hat. He had a light-yellow beard, and his eyes were brown and deep.

In fact, it looked like he wasn’t even a Zenitian but a foreigner who recently came to Chambord City.

Further away, a young man who was in a fancy robe and had pieces of jewelry all over his body heard the footsteps and glanced at Fei and Husky as if he were looking at two corpses. He was having a conversation with Jessica and laughing, and he was displeased that he was interrupted.

“Damn it! Kill these two low-status bumpkins!” he said faintly with an impatient expression on his face.

Even though Husky was dull, he knew that he couldn’t handle this situation on his own. Therefore, he stood aside and made way for the king. Since the king was here, he didn’t need to worry about these foreigners doing anything to his sister.

After getting the command, this Eight-Star Warrior didn’t dare to move.

He just struck out with full force, but that strike was somehow easily handled by someone quietly.

He knew that one of these two people who just came up the stairs was a master, but he didn’t know which one of them handled his strike. From the appearance and body size, it seemed like the dark-skinned tough man who walked up first was the master, but he was only a Two-Star Warrior on the surface.

However, the four guards who were beaten up and had bruised all over their bodies were pleasantly surprised when they saw Fei. They all thought to themselves, “Hey, isn’t this our boss’ secret lover behind the King of Chambord’s back? Finally, this little white face is a good help right now.”

Among the four guards, the younger one who was impatient and tried to follow Fei before directly shouted it out, “Hey, Little White Face! I know that you are a professor at the Civil and Military University, and you probably have some power. However, I have to remind you that these people aren’t simple, and you might not be able to deal with them. Quickly go and get King Alexander here. Just say that another man is teasing his lover!”

“Little White Face?” Fei almost spat out some saliva after hearing that, and he thought, “Do I really look like a little white face?”

However, he realized that he had to give them some slack since he always came here with his identity undisclosed, and the relationship between Jessica and him was a little dubious. It was easy for others to misunderstand.

“Wait, what did he say? The King of Chambord’s woman is being teased? Could it be…”

Fei instantly understood what that guard meant.

The king did hear some rumors between Jessica and him, but he didn’t know that the rumors got this big, and even Jessica’s guards believed them and thought that Jessica was his secret lover.

Fei didn’t expect to find out about this situation today, and he didn’t know how to react.

Subconsciously, he turned his head and looked at Jessica who was being blocked by that gloomy young man, and he saw this beautiful girl looking back at him while blushing and appearing more alluring.

For some reason, Fei’s heart raced, and the word ‘lover’ jumped into his mind again.

“If this pure yet sexy and attractive girl is my secret lover… No, no, no. I shouldn’t think about that…” he thought.

“Haha! The King of Chambord’s woman? So, you are just a woman who is being fed by another man! And you are here acting all lady-like? Yuck!” That gloomy young man was a bit surprised when he heard what that guard had said, and he instantly got angry. His last bit of patience was depleted, and he no longer had that fake gentleness on his face. He sneered and said, “However, I am interested in taking a lover from a king. Hehe, after I grow tired of you, I will give you back to that damn King Alexander; how about that?”

Those four guards who were beaten up all looked at this gloomy young man in pity. They thought, “Where did this little hillbilly come from? Did he take some poison and want to die? He never heard of the name, King Alexander of Chambord, and he dares to come here and cause trouble? How dare he tries to take the King of Chambord’s woman? Pray, poor soul! The Grim Reaper is ready to embrace you!”

Husky and Jessica both got angry after hearing what this young man had said, and they wanted to say something. However, they kept quiet after seeing Fei’s sign.

Then, the king walked over without saying anything. He nodded at Jessica and asked that gloomy young man, “You are also a member of Soros’ Merchant Group?”

Fei just noticed that this young man and that Eight-Star Warrior all had the symbol of Soros’ Merchant Group on their collars, but it was clear that they weren’t under the management of the division in Zenit and were from another region.

“Who the f*ck are you? How dare you talk to me this way?” This gloomy young man had a handsome face, but his arrogant and violent temperament destroyed all his class, making other disgusted of him.

After he pointed at Fei and cursed angrily, he turned to his guard whose name was Chek and said, “What is going on? Why aren’t you listening to me? Kill these two b*stards immediately!”

Suddenly, he paused; it felt like an arrogant rooster got its neck pinched by someone.

This gloomy young man stared at Fei in shocked. After Fei waved his hand impatiently, this young man suddenly wasn’t able to speak anymore.

“He can shut up. You can answer this question for me: which division within Soros’ Merchant Group are you guys from?” Fei asked calmly as he looked at that Eight-Star Warrior.

“We… we are from the Villarreal Empire…” That Eight-Star Warrior didn’t dare to fight back, and he sweated a lot as he answered. After Fei glanced at him, he felt like a giant rock that weighed more than tens of thousands of kilograms was pressing down on his back. He couldn’t even move his finger, let alone waving his blade.

Seeing how calm his opponent was, he realized that he kicked an iron board and ran into a real master. He didn’t have time to think why there was such a master in this remote little kingdom, and all he could try to do was to save his and his young master’s lives.

With an honest expression, he continued respectfully, “Who… are you, Sir? We… my young master doesn’t know who you are, so please… please forgive us if we offended you unintentionally…”
