Chapter 81


    Jake just arrived afterpleting his mission at Redwood city, he saw that there was amotion going on near the restaurant where his mother worked and decided to check what was going on over there .


    Jake saw that her mother was bleeding profusely as some people from the restaurant were helping her .


    Watching this scene Jake was able to control his feelings as he saw her mother bleeding and thought, ’Surprisingly I was able to control my feelings when I saw mom Bleeding, back in the past I would have surely been enraged and acted rashly . It seems that my Training had a lot of effects on my body but it was the mental state that changed me the most . I wouldn’t have realized about this unless I encountered such an incident . ’


    Jake calmly approached her mother as he saw her bleeding as he wanted to know about the situation, as soon as he saw Evan Laguna he understood what was going on over here . He remembered the past events as he saw Evan .


    ’I don’t know if I should regret or rejoice over helping that poor girl Barbara from the hedonistic schemes of this Silkpant Duke Laguna . This time he will pay dearly for hurting mom . I will make sure he feels that same amount of pain that I did all these months as a ve at Pearl city .


    Jake looked at Evan sharply, this clearly reflected his cold demeanor and killing intentions .


    Evan smiled as he saw Jake and said, "So it seems your whole family was bought here, From the looks, it seems you still haven’t changed that annoying look from your face . I guess your master is taking good care of you . You should just have behaved like a ve just like your mother as you are a ve . I wonder if your master would choose to protect you and your family or he would rather choose to offend me and house Laguna for mere ves . "


    Evan’s knights talked among themselves


    The first knight said, "The Lord here is a mere honorary Baron on the outskirts of the borders with a few good institutions which could be ruined anytime . I am sure, the baron here will fawn over Lord Evan like all the others . "


    Other Knight said, "That’s not quite true, The Baron here had previously offended Prince Hector indirectly at the auction so we can’t be sure . "


    The first knight grinned and said, "I guess you don’t know the full story, many say that the baron here was clearly ignorant of the factions and how they worked in the upper ss and hence he unknowingly offended Prince Hector . I am sure that the baron is currently regretting his actions and hence tried to make allies at the south in hopes of getting protection but the geography alone won’t help him even if they wished to help his domain . He could at most get small help from them and a lot of his money will eventually be squeezed out by those traders in the south . I think the Lord is trying to show this baron his ce by putting him in a difficult position . "


    Another Knight said, "I guess this is because of Lord’s long travel to get good food here as he heard about it and eventually meeting this family that pissed him off . Additionally, buying them wasn’t a problem but treating them like valued ves is what pissed off lord more as he hoped to teach this family a lesson as that boy previously ruined our ns . "


    The first knight raised his sword pointed at Jake and said to him, "Hey Kid why aren’t you kneeling now that you are in front of Lord Evan? Don’t you know thews for ves?"


    Dearil meanwhile was watching this show keenly as he thought, ’Let’s see how he deals with this situation, he is quite calm unlike what I thought previously . It seems he is currently analyzing his opponent and his chances of seeding . It seems analyzing his opponents has be an instinct for him after his training period .


    Jake furrowed his brows as he heard the knight, he was already angry after watching her mother bleed, this time instead he replied to the knight with a mischevious smile, "What if I don’t? What can you do to me? Mind you, your lord doesn’t own thisnd . So piss off already with those bunch of thugs . "


    Behind his smile, there was a good scheme going on how to bait the knight as he pretty much understood the mindset of these knights who were full of pride and honor as he intentionally and provocatively said thest words .


    The knight was quite angry as he had never seen a ve talking back to him in such a way, he felt incredibly humiliated . Jake’s baiting worked as the Knight roared and dashed towards Jake with his sword without asking anyone’s permission as it was implicitly implied that ves never had any legal rights even if they died and most of the time, the matter could be solved by paying their initial costs,


    The knight Roared loudly, "You surely have quite a vicious tongue as you managed to anger me . I hope you are as good as your tongue inbat . "


    Jake grinned and continued to provoke him, "I am sure you have the same skills when ites tobat . "


    One of the knights said as he saw this scene, "That kid is a goner, he is only a ve or does he really think he has any rights? Marcus will try to torture and kill him slowly . Even if his lordes and begs to spare his worthless life, this kid will most likely be killed or disabled for the rest of his life . "


    Another knightughed and said, "Are you kidding me, do you really think any lord would stake his reputation and humiliate himself for sparing a mere ve it would have been a different case it if was a valuable knight or magician . And as for the fate of this kid, he most likely would die by his sword in the next sh if Marcus is merciful . If not, like you previously said, he would die a torturous and painful death . However, the biggest thing is that the Lord of this domain will anyway be humiliated now that the situated has risen to these levels . "


    One of the knights noticed a peculiarity and said to others, "Hey, don’t you guys think that the guys who protected the women over there are quite calm right nowpared to the situation previously . "


    Another knight smiled as grinned and said, "Maybe they think just because this kid trained a bit, he can fight with the personal knights of Lord Evan . Marcus is one of the knights from Lord Fjord’s knight order whoter followed Lord Evan on the orders of Lord so that he could be protected at all times . I have some news which you guys don’t know about, from the rumors I heard that Marcus is a Magic Knight who has been hiding his true strength all the time since two years ago . If those guys have something up their sleeve then they are in for a surprise . "


    Jay watched the scene as he smiled as he had already known of Jake’s sess in hisst mission . However, he was still very alert when it came to the protection of Martha and the movements of those knights .


    ***


    At the mansion,


    One of Dearil’s men came and reported to Taylor, "I urgently want to meet Lord John in person . This matter is of great urgency . I hope I can meet the Lord at earliest . "


    Taylor saw the urgency in man’s tone as he replied to him in a serious tone, "Okay, wait here for a minute I will inform Lord immediately . "
