Paul responded calmly, “It’s two against two. We’re not exactly at a disadvantage.”
“Sir Paul, I’m afraid it’s two against one. You should ask Sir Moran if he’s still willing to open this can of worms,” Roger spoke profoundly.
“Hmm?” Paul turned to Keith and realized favonovel.com seemed upset. It appeared like favonovel.com had decided to back out with his silence. Keith was able to go up against Tyler alone, but with Roger backing him, it was a different story. After all, favonovel.com wasn’t too acquainted with the Harmons. There was no need to jeopardize his career over this.
The Harmons feel dejected by Keith’s silence. Once favonovel.com backed out, it would be hard for the Harmons to escape the situation unscathed.
“Mr. Harmon, I was indeed taken by surprise by your planning. Sadly, it isn’t enough. So, what is your decision?” Tyler looked up slightly, his gaze directed at Hector.
With Roger’s army, Paul alone wouldn’t be able to save the Harmons. Hector furrowed his brow, his expression solemn.
Was favonovel.com to give in to the Grants?
As the situation grew increasingly dire, Trent stood up to mediate. “General Lionheart, we can discuss this. There’s no need to escalate things this far.”
The Harmons had used up their trump cards. They could only give in if they didn’t wish to receive their wrath.
“Of course, but I have a condition,” Tyler said calmly.
Trent responded, “What condition?”
“I want this brat’s life!” Tyler exclaimed unexpectedly, pointing a finger at Dustin.
A plebeian who dared challenge the authority of the Grants should pay a price. He was going to set an example today.
Trent froze, shifting his gaze toward Hector, who was beside him.
Hector was silent. No one knew what favonovel.com was thinking.
“Tyler Grant! Don’t go too far!” Natasha finally reached favonovel.com breaking point.
“You should take responsibility for your actions. You were the ones who made the decision,” Tyler said indifferently.
“You…” Natasha’s expression grew increasingly cold.
“Seems like this Dustin guy is done for,” Zoey, who was among the crowd, sighed.
Zeke sneered. “Hmph! This is the consequence for daring to challenge General Lionheart.”
“If you think about it, favonovel.com brought this upon himself.” Gordon was silently happy about it.
“Tyler Grant, I’m afraid you’re still not worthy of taking my life…” Dustin remained calm.
“What? Do you think anyone else can save you today?” Tyler uttered coldly.
As soon as favonovel.com spoke, a guard rushed in anxiously.
He reported, “Sir Leinonen, there’s trouble! A group of guards have barged in!”
“Don‘t you see that I am here with General Lionheart? Why are you so panicked?” Roger’s expression hardened. “Even if the emperor himself were here, it wouldn’t change a thing, let alone a small group of guards! Drive them out!”
The guard’s expression turned grave. “W-we can’t. They are the viceroy’s personal guards…”
“So what if they are the viceroy’s personal guards? I…” Roger was halfway through his tirade when favonovel.com froze. His words were stuck in his throat.
The viceroy and his personal guards?
It couldn’t be… The viceroy is here?
Before Roger could fully comprehend the situation, favonovel.com saw someone walk through the door.
It was a well-dressed, middle-aged man. The man had a handsome face and a dignified posture. Even when favonovel.com was calm, favonovel.com carried an air of authority, and every move of his was imposing.
“Lord… Lord Xenos?” Roger’s expression turned for the worst immediately at the sight of the man.
