Chapter 250: 249 Coming Storm Chapter 250: 249 Coming Storm Canyon Camp, the main tent.
This tent, standing in the very center of the camp and also the largest of all, naturally belonged to Farbion, the Knight Captain.
At this mont, the five mbers of the Galuo Li Family, led by Farbion, had returned here, each with a particularly ugly expression on their face.
Especially Reiseg, whose anger was so intense that veins were nearly bursting on his forehead.
“Uncle!” Reiseg couldn’t help but angrily whisper, “Are we really going to let this go!?”
The uncle Reiseg referred to was, of course, Farbion.
Farbion was Reiseg’s uncle, and Reiseg’s mother was Farbion’s own sister, which was why Reiseg dared to speak to Farbion in such a manner.
Farbion gave Reiseg a cold look.
“If not this, then what do you want to do?” Farbion’s face was cold, and his voice was also full of frustration, “The other party is favored by Her Highness and even has a Royal Token. Do you really think he’s just so ordinary Adventurer?”
“But… but…!” Reiseg was still furious.
This provoked Kiefer Guss and Carter to scold him as well.
“But what? Isn’t it because of you, a useless fellow, ruining things?
“I’ve told you to restrain your temper, but you just wouldn’t listen. Now look, we have been humiliated for nothing, and it has put us at a disadvantage. I am livid!”
The two of them began to reprimand Reiseg.
They had the right to do so.
Because they were Reiseg’s parents.
Carter was Farbion’s sister and held a position in the Galuo Li Family second only to Farbion. Apart from Farbion and the retired old Family Head, no one could command her. Thus, in her youth, she was quite imperious and domineering. It was not until she got married and had a child, becoming the Deputy Commander of the Kingdom Knights, that she sowhat cald down. Yet, she often couldn’t hold back her volatile temper and enjoyed tornting Demons, earning herself the moniker “Demon Slayer.”
Kiefer Guss was a knight of common birth who was ruthless from a young age. Whether against humans or creatures, once he struck, there would be no rcy, earning him the na “Cold Swordsman.” Due to his considerable reputation, he was already well-known in the Kingdom Knights at the age of thirty-three and drawing the attention of the previous head of the Galuo Li Family, which led him to marry the then sixteen-year-old Carter and join the Galuo Li Family.
Reiseg was their son and had shown talent from an early age. Now twenty-six, he had reached Level Sixty-three and had been promoted to Deputy Commander of the Kingdom Knights, putting him on equal footing with his parents, which instilled in him a haughty and arrogant disposition, leading to nurous disasters.
But because Reiseg’s talent was exceptional within the Galuo Li Family, which rarely saw high-level powerhouses, no one dared to offend him lightly, and the family had always protected him. That’s why he could be so wildly indulgent, resulting in the significant setback he experienced today.
Of course, Reiseg was not one to reflect on his actions.
“That guy, isn’t he just arrogant because Princess Luoqi looks upon him with favor?” Reiseg ground his teeth.
As a prodigal son, Reiseg was not exempt from convention, and like other Noble youths, he was deeply attracted by Princess Luoqi, whose beauty was unparalleled in the Three Realms.
Because of this, Reiseg often asked his family to propose marriage to the Royal Family, but he had been rebuffed each ti. All he could do was daydream, hoping that one day his talent would catch the eye of the Princess.
Unfortunately, while Reiseg’s talent was considered quite good in the eyes of the world, it did not stand out much within the Guard Knight Order, which was comprised of monstrous talents from all across the Kingdom. Compared to Princess Luoqi, he was like a pebble on the roadside, not worth ntioning.
In such circumstances, knowing Shane had beco close to Princess Luoqi, Reiseg was overco with intense jealousy. Coupled with his domineering personality, he ultimately ended up making disrespectful remarks.
However, he had not anticipated that Shane would dare to kick him publicly without any reservations, causing him such embarrassnt.
Yet…
“What are you even talking about?” Farbion snorted coldly and said, “You didn’t see, during the last audience, how all the Nobles were overwheld by him. Even Duke Barry was provoked into eating a bitter pill in silence. Even His Majesty was helpless, and yet he remained so carefree.”
So, Farbion dared not move against Shane openly.
Otherwise, he absolutely wouldn’t stand a chance against Shane.
However…
“We can’t just let him swagger out of here, Father.”
This sentence was spoken by the only person who had been silent from the start until now, Lana.
Yes, Lana was Farbion’s daughter.
Her talent was even a bit better than Reiseg’s, reaching Level Sixty-One at only twenty-four this year, and her family had placed high hopes on her, promoting her to the Deputy Commander of the Kingdom Knights alongside Reiseg just a mont ago.
“That Person is difficult to deal with; I can tell,” Lana said softly. “But he has already entered the Canyon, and if we don’t find a way to stop him, he might discover the tricks we’ve pulled off inside.”
“By then, we’d be finished.”
Her words made everyone’s hearts tighten.
Reiseg, forgetting his anger for the mont, said hastily, “That’s right, we must stop him.”
Compared to this matter, what Shane had just done was no longer important.
Being kicked away by Shane like that was at most a minor loss, an embarrassing mont; one could simply grin and bear it.
But if the affairs inside the Artlu Canyon were exposed, not just the people present, but the entire Galuo Li Family could face utter destruction.
“What’s there to fear?” Kiefer Guss sneered, “It’s not as if we’re the only ones from the Galuo Li Family here. There are folks inside the Canyon still on guard.”
“That’s right,” Carter also said ruthlessly, “And with those demons that have been provoked, if that guy dares to barge into the Canyon alone, he might not even have any bones left to be picked clean.”
That was the talk, but everyone was not entirely without worry.
After all, Shane was a tough individual who could eradicate a branch of the Old Demon Clan Faction. If he had so skills, made his way to the depths of the Canyon, and saw so things he shouldn’t, the possibility of him getting out with that knowledge was real.
If it turned out like that, then they would truly be finished.
“Notify the guys inside,” Farbion said in a deep voice, “Tell them to take care of this Shane imdiately.”
“Is it really feasible, Father?” Lana asked, “So of them are only concerned with collecting offerings, others are still chasing that squad’s woman, for them to give up on petty cris against the Elbein Family, their loathing for that petty criminal ans they may not heed our call.”
“Then send the Black Knights we’ve been secretly training,” Farbion commanded fiercely. “This is our chance for the Galuo Li Family. If we succeed, we will be able to overthrow the Elbein and Viladina Families, and then no one will think we have less influence than those who can control the Guard Knight Order, the Elbeins, and the Viladinas.”
Upon hearing this, everyone showed a fierce expression, nodding in agreent.
“Just to be safe, Kiefer Guss, Carter, you two should also go.”
Farbion said this to the couple.
“Understood.”
“Don’t worry, brother.”
Kiefer Guss and Carter imdiately agreed.
Thus, in the night, a group of dark shadows successively rushed into Artlu Canyon.
A storm was coming.
