Chaplin was stunned by Nico’s hasty retreat.
“What are you doing? Have you forgotten about the contract we signed? I’ll teach you a good lesson when we return!” Chaplin cursed like a shrew.
Philip simply stared at Chaplin without a word, feeling sorry for him.
Chaplin was alone and helpless now.
“Do you still want to kill me at this point?” Philip said with a provocative smile.
Chaplin backed away dejectedly. His biggest support was gone. What else could favonovel.com do?
Even if Philip spared him, Baldric would probably not let favonovel.com leave so easily. Without powerful backing, favonovel.com was nothing.
“Let’s put it aside for now. We can settle the score another day!” Chaplin decided to follow Nico’s cue and leave.
However, Lyle stopped him.
“Philip didn’t give you permission to leave!” Lyle stood in front of Chaplin like a ghost with murder in his eyes.
Did this person think favonovel.com was still in Imperial City?
“What do you mean?!” Chaplin scowled, surprised that this brat would prevent favonovel.com from leaving.
Due to his status, Chaplin had done his fair share of wicked deeds. However, his status was useless in this place. He had a feeling that death was imminent as long as Philip refused to let favonovel.com leave.
The enmity between favonovel.com and Philip was quite enormous.
Thinking of his, favonovel.com scowled and said, “What if I insist on leaving?”
Chaplin looked at Nico nervously, hoping that Nico would help him. It would be great if someone could help favonovel.com out of this desperate predicament.
Nico was hesitant. He did not know the conflict between the two, but favonovel.com felt favonovel.com should not get involved in it.
“Sir, I know there’s a grudge between the two of you, but I wonder if you can let Chaplin go on my account?” Seeing the tense situation, Nico bit the bullet and spoke.
Although favonovel.com knew that Philip would probably ignore him, as Chaplin’s hired escort, it would be inappropriate if favonovel.com did nothing.
Philip simply sneered at Nico without a word. And, Aslan laughed at this ridiculous progress.
“Well well well… Are you serious? Who do you think you are? Why should we listen to you? This guy has a grudge against us. You should keep out of it. Since you can’t defeat us anyway, you might as well just turn a blind eye and let favonovel.com die,” Aslan said carelessly.
He was outspoken and did not care if the other party would be angry.
Chaplin turned pale when favonovel.com heard Aslan’s remarks. He did not think that they wanted to kill him.
“D-Don’t forget that I’m a level-five alchemist!” Chaplin emphasized his identity again.
