"Young Master Rennes is here!"
The sudden voice made the noisy guards quiet down, their eyes filled with respect.
No matter how crippled Ryan was, he was still the son of a Grand Duke. Now, he had inherited the position of Grand Duke and even became the Lord of a city. His status was not something they could compare to.
In this world, nobles were high and mighty existences. They were not comparable to a group of ordinary guards.
They all held a trace of respect for the Grand Duke, Rennes.
If it wasn't for the fact that Rene would definitely die, they wouldn't dare to gather together to cause trouble. This would be challenging the Grand Duke's dignity.
Even a grade-7 mage would have to lower his head in front of a grand duke.
Not to mention that they were just ordinary guards.
"It's Ryan."
When he heard the voice, Wizard Ness 'heart trembled, and he felt uneasy.
'No, he's just a good-for-nothing. He might still be afraid of the City Lord. How can he make me feel uneasy?'
After consoling himself, Wizard Ness looked over and saw Ryan, who was different from before, walking over. His pupils could not help but shrink.
"Young Master Rennes, it seems that something is different.”
The Archmage spoke up, his tone somewhat uneasy.
The current Rennes was naturally different from before. Having mastered power, he had become different from the inside out. He had become confident and did not look like a rich playboy at all.
The guards of the Sarmaniya family could easily sense this, and they couldn't help but feel surprised.
"Greetings, Young Master!"
Seeing Rennes appear, the guards and servants led by the head guard bowed respectfully. The guards who were causing trouble hesitated for a moment before choosing to bow.
This made Ness and the other two Magicians look a little upset.
The hesitation of the guards made them feel uneasy. They were afraid that things would fail.
"Yes!" Rennes replied indifferently and looked at the troublemaker with a calm gaze.
"Wizard Ness, I've heard about what happened to you. I can understand your actions.”
"So, are you determined to terminate the contract?”
Ryan asked.
"That's right. We're just ordinary guests and guards, not slaves of the Sarmaniya family. We have the right to leave the Sarmaniya family.”Ness was afraid that the guards would regret it if they continued to waver, so he stood up and said in a deep voice.
"Do you have the same opinion?"
Rene only glanced at him and then looked at the others.
Such an obvious neglect made Wizard Ness 'face turn red. Although he was only a Third-level Wizard, he usually had the support of the Sarmaniya family. He was respected wherever he went. When had he ever been ignored?
However, he couldn't do anything to Rennes. The difference in status between the two of them was too great. Even if he wanted to be angry, he didn't have the courage.
"Yes!"
"Young Master Rennes, it's not that we're heartless, but we also want to live!”
"Young Master Rennes, I still have a family to take care of. I can't die like this.”The group of guards looked at each other hesitantly and said.
"Very good!"
Rennes nodded. His expression turned cold and he didn't continue speaking.
Survive?
The family spent a lot of money to hire them at a salary that far exceeded that of other nobles, just to let them stab them in the back at a critical moment?
Since that was the case, then don't blame him for being impolite.
The captain of the guards was getting angrier. He didn't expect that these usually loyal and forthright guards would choose to betray their master in such a situation.
However, no matter how angry he was, he could not make decisions for the family. He was just an ordinary guard captain.
Rennes didn't speak, and neither did the others. For a moment, the noisy courtyard fell silent.
"How does the clan usually treat you? Did you mistreat him?"
Just as everyone was feeling uneasy, Ryan suddenly asked.
"No!"
Everyone hesitated for a while before finally speaking up. Even they had to admit that the Sartania family treated their guards much better than the other nobles.
It was precisely because of this that the Type 5 Guard Captain was so furious at their betrayal.
A scholar dies for a confidant.
Although there was no such saying in this world, it was only natural for guards to die for their masters. When did they become traitors?
This was a betrayal.
"Young Master Rennes, if there's nothing else, can you return the contract to us?”The three mages looked at each other and saw the uneasiness in each other's eyes.
The pressure Rene gave them was completely different from usual, making them very uneasy. Therefore, they wanted to cut the Gordian knot and terminate the contract directly.
At that time, Ryan would not be able to do anything to them.
"Contract? Yes, we'll be there soon."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes as Rene sneered.
"Young Master, the contract and information you wanted.”
Not long after, a beautiful figure appeared. It was Rita, and she held a sheepskin scroll in her hand.
They were the contract papers of the guards.
"Yes."
Rennes took the parchment and started reading it. Apart from the contract, Rita had also thoughtfully sent the information of the three mages over.
Rita had secretly gathered all this information. It clearly recorded how the three mages had embezzled the family's assets and even used the family's name to forcefully confiscate land.
"Hehe, interesting. You dare to use the name of the family to do whatever you want outside!”
Rene sneered and looked at the three mages with a cold gaze.
"You guys are courting death!”
