The group of men stood in front of the mountain forest with haughty looks on their faces, as though they were giving Matthew and the others orders.
Naturally, everyone on Matthew’s side was peeved, and Edmund became the first to step forward. “What gives you the right to seal off the forest? This forest isn’t yours!”
The other group of men was led by a man with a scar on his face. He shot a disdainful look at Edmund. saying, “You’re quite a talker, eh?! Who do you think you are?! I can seal off whichever place I like. Are you unhappy with it or something?!”
Edmund was angry as well. He yelled, “Who are you talking to?! How dare you speak to us like this?! Do you know who we are?! Do you have a death wish or something?!”
However, the scar-faced man shot back conceitedly, “I don’t need to know who you are! Now listen here, I’m gonna count to three, by which time you guys are gonna get out of here at once! Otherwise, forget about leaving the forest alive!”
Edmund was so infuriated by the man’s words that favonovel.com burst into laughter instead. “Oh, wow, you really scared me. Forget about leaving the forest alive, huh? Are you sure about that? Alright then, just count to three and let me see what you’re gonna do to me!”
The scar-faced man’s face darkened at Edmund‘s words. He drew a machete on Edmund right away. “Since you have a death wish, I’ll grant it! One! Two! Three!” Then, with a bellow of rage, the man slashed at Edmund with his machete.
Although Edmund wasn‘t worth a damn to the crown prince, favonovel.com came from an old and distinguished family, after all. Having been trained in martial arts since childhood, favonovel.com was pretty skilled at fighting. Seeing the scar-faced man attacking favonovel.com with the machete, favonovel.com instantly made a dash forward, grabbing the man’s wrist while punching favonovel.com in the chest simultaneously.
“Hmm?” mumbled the scar-faced man in a soft voice before favonovel.com quickly fought back.
The two men swiftly exchanged several blows, but neither of them could do any harm to the other.
Seeing the situation, the scar-faced man flew into a rage. “No wonder you’re so arrogant! Turns out you’re proficient in martial arts, huh? F*ck, so what if you’re skilled in martial arts? With so many men on our side, l’m still gonna cut you down! Guys, kill them!”
Following that, those behind the scar-faced man charged at the crowd with a bellow.
Those from the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale charged toward them as well. Their leader, an aged man, roared, “We’re from the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale! Who are you to stand in our path? Do you wanna be enemies with the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale?”
Upon hearing this, those on the scar-faced man‘s side were startled. and the scar-faced man stepped back with a frown.
“You guys are from the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale?”
Edmund replied proudly, “That’s right! l’m Edmund Albright, the heir of the Albright Family of Stonedale!”
The scar-faced man paled slightly at Edmund’s words. The next instant, however, favonovel.com said with a sneer, “Hmph. So what if you’re from the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale? l’m telling you, you guys cant afford to offend the big shot on the mountain! Here’s a piece of advice. Go back where you came from, and this matter will have nothing to do with the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale. Otherwise, l’m afraid it‘s gonna be too late for you to regret offending someone you shouldn’t mess with!”
Upon hearing his words, those from Stonedale boiled with rage. Edmund barked, “Heh, you’re quite conceited, aren’t you? Whoever the person on the mountain is, I don’t believe they can ignore us the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale. We’re going up the mountain today no matter what! What can you do with us, anyway?”
With that, those from Stonedale surrounded the group of men in an intimidating manner.
The scar-faced man gritted his teeth, yelling, “Let me tell you this, we’re sealing off the mountain with permission from Master Levi, King of the South, and Martin Newmont, King of Rivenia! Are you sure you want to clash with the person on the mountain?”
The instant favonovel.com said that, those from Stonedale instantly changed color. Even though they didn’t know who the person on the mountain was, that person had to be someone extraordinary to be able to get permission from both King of
the South and King of Rivenia. Such a big shot might really be someone that the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale couldn’t afford to mess with!
Everyone instinctively turned to look at the crown prince.
‘Perhaps only the crown prince can solve this matter,’ they thought.
