"With the name and honor of my Barthemero family, I will definitely bring the culprit of this incident, Rhode Frein Yogg Domirenia, to justice!”
Dressed in a dark red windbreaker, Loreya was roaring loudly. Her already serious face was filled with killing intent and anger.
Without a doubt, Lorelei's retreat at the port had become the most obvious stain in her life. Barthermelo would never retreat. Even when facing the White Wing Duke, the 27th ancestor of the Death Apostles, these magicians would risk their lives to perish together with their enemies.
However, this time, Lorelei led her clone team back to her family's base. It could be said that she had tarnished the family's reputation and even affected Lorelei's reputation.
In this luxuriously decorated conference room, other than Miss Loreiya who was speaking passionately on the stage, the noble lords sitting on both sides looked calm. It was obvious that they were not interested in this matter.
Rhode had to secretly make deals with these nobles. They might not offend Mr. Rhode, who had a bright future, just for Lorelei.
Of course, if the Barthemero Family captured or killed Rhode, the nobles wouldn't mind tearing their prey apart like jackals and digging out every bit of value from Rhode's research.
Perhaps this was the elegance of a noble.
"Everyone! You might not understand how important a creator is to the weak Yggdmillennia family.”
Lorelei patted the podium. Her impassioned look was similar to that of a certain Mr. Trump.
But obviously, the nobles present weren't buying it. Even Rocco Belphabon, who had just sold Rode's holy relic, was yawning without hiding it.
" Damn it…" Seeing this, Lorelei couldn't help but look defeated. After all, she wasn't really giving a speech, and the audience wasn't easily fooled. Instead, it was a group of old guys who had been immersed in political struggles for decades.
If they couldn't bring them any practical benefits, they wouldn't spend money and effort to kill Rhode just because of Lorelei's judgment.
"How much did Rhode give you?”Loreya roared angrily, but the lords still looked at him like he was a monkey. They had no qualms about it. "That bastard! It actually infiltrated the clock tower to this extent…"
"Boom!"
The earth-shattering boom echoed in every corner of the town. Listening to the boom, Loreya looked out the window.
Through the French windows, the building that symbolized the clock tower, the ancient clock tower that existed in the 15th century, was slowly collapsing.
Smoke and dust burst out from the bottom of the clock tower, and the scattered gravel buried several weak magicians. The heavy clock tower smashed to the side, and even the administrative department of the Barthemero family was completely crushed.
Without a doubt, this was revenge, and it was the simplest and most direct slap in the face.
"Damn it! This is the guy you're indulging!”Seeing this, Loreya roared hysterically. " Let's begin the voting. The nobles who have decided to assassinate Rhode together will become Barthemero's eternal friends.”
"..." What responded to Lorelei was a long silence. The nobles witnessed the collapse of the clock tower, but they still looked as if it had nothing to do with them.
After all, the clock tower belonged to the Law Department, and some magicians even regarded it as Barthemero's private property. With the collapse of the clock tower, Barthemero's prestige would naturally be greatly affected. The onlookers would only be happy because of this. Who would help Barthemero solve the problem?
In fact, when they detonated the clock tower and insulted Barthemero, which of these nobles didn't go along with the flow?
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
At this moment, on the highway on the outskirts of Tulifas, Romania.
After the explosion of the RPG-7, the regular road became full of potholes. Even the maids who were female drivers had to be careful to drive through the potholes.
Even though Rhode didn't mind the scratches on his car, he didn't want to walk all the way to the city of Tulifas because of a car malfunction.
At this moment, Rhode and Liu Zhu were waiting for the maid to drive the car across the broken road. They stood by the roadside and admired the tragic scene of the battle.
"How weak. Compared to Master, the difference is like a firefly and the bright moon.”
Liu Zhu gently lowered her skirt and kept the two scythes that weren't stained with blood. Rhode said helplessly.
"Huh? They were just trash that were only good at fighting. Even if they were piled together, they would only become a trash pile. That was all.”
"A garbage dump? What an apt metaphor."
A hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind him. Rhode's expression changed drastically. He grabbed the gemstone on his belt and squeezed it. As the gemstone shattered, a huge amount of magic power gathered.
The next moment, a huge azure hand appeared behind Rhode's back and smashed towards the source of the voice.
" Howl-" The intruder seemed to be surprised by Rhode's reaction speed. Instead of retreating, he advanced and punched the azure palm.
"Boom!" Along with the azure palm, Rhode was sent flying. Then, Crystal Pearl, who had controlled time, appeared behind him and staggered to catch him in her arms.
"Not bad. As a magician, you are already considered to be at the top, right? It's a pity that you're still so young. Otherwise, you'll definitely become a hero like us in the future, right?”
It was a golden-haired middle-aged man. Although his face was slightly dispirited, it carried an astonishing dignity.
"Interesting. Even Bigby's Protective Palm can't stop you? What exactly are you?"
Rhode pretended to be calm as he stood up with Liu Zhu's help.
" No matter what it is, a heroic spirit dug out of the soil or a lowly little bat is no different to me.”
"Oh? He was arrogant enough, but did he have the right to be arrogant?”The middle-aged man said calmly, his words filled with admonishment. "As a mortal, you should just show your loyalty to the ruler. You should obediently kneel on the ground and enjoy the happiness of ignorance, right? Why are you resisting?"
" What stupid words from a superior…" Rhode chuckled and a sinister glint flashed across his eyes. "Unknown Mr. Heroic Spirit, don't tell me you think you can take me down for sure?”
"What, do you still have the room to resist? Wait…that is!" The middle-aged heroic spirit's expression changed drastically. Rhode was holding a black ball in front of him and looked at him mockingly.
"Whether or not I have any room to resist is not up to you to judge. He's just a mere heroic spirit! Don't be too self-righteous!"
