"Ma Lina, are you serious?”
Ye Tian was completely surprised. Someone was willing to be his slave?
"Master, what Ma Lina said is true. I am willing to swear in the name of the gods!”
Ma Lina said firmly.
"Alright!"
Ye Tian nodded. There were many female slaves on the market, but there weren't many beauties, especially now that the war in Rome was still in a bad state. It wouldn't be easy for Ye Tian to complete his mission quickly.
Therefore, if he could collect one now, it would be considered one.
"Sir…they're here!"
Max's expression was a little solemn. Not far from the door, a group of people hurried over. The leader was an old man with a big belly, and beside him was a middle-aged man with shifty eyes.
A few guards followed behind them.
Good heavens, they had all brought the rope. They did not come with good intentions.
Normally, they wouldn't dare to be so arrogant. However, due to the repeated defeats of Rome on the battlefield, the Senate suspected that there were people in Rome who colluded with the allies. Therefore, they arrested anyone who was related to the allies, mainly Italian civilians.
Although the wind had passed, it had not completely disappeared.
Therefore, some small nobles were especially bold. They used their official position to take revenge for their personal grudges and framed people.
"Us warriors, tie up these traitors!”
As expected, the fat noble did not give Max and the others any chance to explain. As soon as he reached the door, he waved his hand and shouted loudly.
He had finally caught a big fat sheep like Max, so how could he miss it?
"Hah…"
……
Five or six guards rushed into the house with ropes like ferocious wolves.
If it weren't for Ye Tian, Max's family and Ma Lina's family would have been in deep trouble, and they wouldn't have been able to seek justice.
"Boom!"
……
The fat noble was fantasizing about how to divide Max's property with his master when a loud explosion interrupted his fantasies.
The five or six guards who had rushed in all smashed through the door or window and fell heavily to the ground.
"Damn it, these traitors dare to resist arrest. Kill them!”
The fat noble was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him as he gave the order.
"Whose dog dares to bark here!”
Ye Tian's voice was low and disdainful as he slowly walked out with Max.
"Damn it, which bastard dared to insult a noble? I'll definitely send you to the fire!”
Being scolded, the fat old noble became even angrier.
"You're just a small pseudo-aristocrat. It's been so many years, but you haven't become a regular aristocrat. Who gave you the courage to call yourself an aristocrat?”
Ye Tian sneered. He had seen through this old man's identity with a single glance. He was just a subordinate clan of some great clan, a slave. Their master allowed them to add the clan's surname to their family tree to show their glory, but in the Senate's noble records, there was no record of their names.
Therefore, they were just fake nobles, not real nobles.
Just like how Max was now loyal to Ye Tian, when Ye Tian became strong enough, he could bestow the glory of 'Satan' on the Max Family, and Max would use Ye Tian's power to become a pseudo-noble.
Fake nobles were not nobles in the eyes of the nobles, but in the eyes of the people, they were real nobles.
After learning of his identity, Ye Tian felt even more disdainful. If he had known, he wouldn't have gone through the trouble of creating fake letters.
"Who are you?"
Seeing Ye Tian's extraordinary bearing and the fact that his identity had been exposed, the old fatty restrained his arrogance and asked in a low voice.
"This is Satan Ye Tian, son-in-law of the Julius Family, a noble!”
Without needing Ye Tian to answer, Max knew what to say.
"Greetings, Lord Satan. Although you are a noble of the Roman Republic and the son-in-law of a large family, please allow me to question you. I don't know why you are with a criminal who colluded with the enemy, and it seems that you have the intention of protecting them! If that's the case, I'll capture you on behalf of my master, Sura. Everything is for the glory of the great Rome!”
When the fat old man heard Ye Tian's identity, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes and he retaliated.
"You have a sharp tongue. This is also the reason why Sura likes you! However, you are too hasty. You will know how terrifying it is to slander a noble!”
Ye Tian paused for a moment before smiling. This fellow wasn't as fat and stupid as he appeared to be, and he was very shrewd, even knowing to take the initiative to oppress Ye Tian.
He was a vassal of the Sura Family. It was no wonder that this guy was hostile to him after knowing his identity.
"Actually, you don't have to use Rome to pressure me! You said that Max and the others are colluding with the enemy. Please show me the evidence!”
Ye Tian smiled, his tone mocking. It seemed that his previous efforts weren't in vain.
"Respected Lord, I received a report from a commoner. This family has a private letter with the generals of the alliance. They are obviously accomplices and a disgrace to Rome!”
The old fatty said righteously.
"Evidence! Otherwise, I can find someone to report that you are a member of the alliance in Rome. I hope you can produce evidence to take responsibility for your words!”
Ye Tian said calmly.
"Humph!"
The fat old man snorted and then looked coldly at the middle-aged commoner beside him.
" Sir, I saw it with my own eyes. I saw a letter that Marina wrote to one of the generals of the alliance. She expressed her love, yearning, and admiration. It's definitely true…"
The man's body trembled violently. Then, he braced himself and told her what he had seen.
He thought that he could easily earn a lot of money by reporting him, but he never expected that Max was backed by a noble.
"What is the letter like?"
Ye Tian asked.
"The goatskin parchment is about the size of two palms and has a missing corner. Let me go in and look for it. I can recognize it at a glance!”
The middle-aged man mustered his courage and said.
"Then go in. If it's true, I won't indulge Max and the others! However, you have to be responsible for your words and actions!”
Ye Tian's face darkened as he coldly spoke, stepping aside.
"Lord Satan, perhaps you don't know, but if you have offended me in any way, please forgive me!”
The old fatty said smugly, but Ye Tian only smiled coldly.
"Found it!"
Soon, a joyful voice sounded.
