“Oh my god! It’s actually Lord Xenos? Why is favonovel.com here?”
“Look at the way Lord Xenos has brought so many guards. It doesn’t seem like he’s here for the engagement banquet.”
“Of course not! Who brings so many guards to a wedding? It’s obvious he’s here to cause trouble!”
Lord Xenos’s appearance caused an instant commotion in the hall. Even the Grant family’s relatives present showed a serious expression.
It should be noted that the person who had just arrived was the Provincial Governor, the one who held full military and political authority in the entire province!
A high-ranking official!
A true frontier governor!
In the presence of such a high-ranking figure, even Tyler, who held the title of Tiger-Might General, would be suppressed.
“Brother Dustin, are you okay?” After entering, Lord Xenos first inquired about Dustin’s well-being.
“I’m fine… Thank you for your concern, Governor,” Dustin politely nodded.
“That’s good…” Lord Xenos smiled, but when favonovel.com turned his gaze to Tyler, his expression suddenly turned cold. “Tyler, you wield quite a bit of power, huh? Do you think that just because you’re a third-rank general, you can act recklessly and believe that no one can rein you in?”
His words were ruthless and gave no face to the Grant family.
“Governor, you’ve misunderstood. It was Dustin who came here to cause trouble, and we were just defending ourselves,” Kate hastily defended.
“That’s right! It was Dustin who openly killed a member of the Grant family and challenged our family’s authority. We must seek justice!” Grant family members echoed.
“Shut up, all of you!” Lord Xenos glared. “Don’t think I don’t know what’s happening here. Members of the Grant family kidnapped Miss Harmon and publicly killed Hector. Your despicable actions have caused outrage among both gods and men!”
His words left the Grant family members speechless. They had no ground to stand on in terms of reason.
“Lord Xenos, I have no grievances with you, so why must you oppose me?” Tyler’s face grew colder, and his gaze turned hostile.
The last time at the Harmon family’s residence, Lord Xenos had interfered and disrupted his plans. He hadn’t expected that today, this man would show up again and even crash the scene. It was nothing short of excessive provocation!
“You, as a general of the Dragonmarsh, should uphold the law, enforce justice, and maintain righteousness. But look at your actions, how are they any different from those of criminals?” Lord Xenos stated firmly.
“Lord Xenos, although your official position is higher than mine, it doesn’t mean you have the right to dictate to me…” Tyler stood with his hands behind his back, unyielding. “My position as a general was bestowed by the imperial family and falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Even if you are the provincial governor, you don’t have the authority to meddle in my affairs!”
A provincial governor was the highest-ranking official in a region, overseeing both military and political authority.
Although their official positions were high, they belonged to different systems—civil officials and military officials had always had a strained relationship. If they really came into conflict, favonovel.com wasn’t necessarily afraid because favonovel.com had a powerful backer!
“Tyler, don’t be too arrogant!” Lord Xenos coldly snorted. “Southern Province falls under my jurisdiction. If you commit any outrageous acts, I won’t stand idly by!”
