Chapter 334: L ize''s Excitement


    "The Duke ising?" L ize lifted an eyebrow when he heard Martin''s words. "Federico agreed to let the mane? Is he not afraid that Lucas would embarrass him in front of his people?" L beamed. He looked at the other people sitting around the circr table. All of them have their Blessings except for the Emperor who was sitting next to Martin Lux.


    Right now, they were discussing the arrival of the Duke in a few days.


    Apparently, when Lucas received their invitation, he immediately responded and told them he ising to Aster to help.


    They expected him to refuse to see them, perhaps make some demands. He did not. Instead, he sent them a very prompt response and even offered toe to Aster. Naturally, the members of the seven families became very suspicious, and that was the primary reason for this meeting.


    "I think we need to think this through, the rumors of Rakha are already very popr in the streets. Kids are making songs out of his courage and bravery. How could we let that happen?" Miss Myra Gliss said. "I agreed toe here thinking this would revive the reputation of the seven families. What would happen if the Duke would do something shy and"


    "And end the tide?" Dous Quarris asked. "Do you really believe those rumors?"


    "It is not a rumor," L uttered. "I was there. The man is clearly stronger than me. Of course, I would never care about this matter. I am just here to fight." L always saw himself as a very strong individual. He knew that he was powerful and he was never shy in saying that to anyone who would listen. In fact, he would immediately challenge someone who would dere themselves stronger than L ize.


    As a member of the ize Family who had received the Blessing of fire, L had trained since he was a child. This was even before he received the Blessing of the Goddess. His path had always been about his strength.


    Even now that he was already older, he still thought that he was unmatched in the seven families and he was willing to die just to prove it to everyone.


    Then he saw Lucas Rothley.


    That man killed beasts as if he was cutting vegetables. He was quick and strong, his movements almost felt like a blur. Watching him fight made L speechless.


    How could someone his age fight as if he had been fighting like that for centuries?


    That did not make sense!


    Moreover, the ones following behind him wereparable to Martin. They wield axes and swords and move in sync with the Duke.


    They were a group of killers who could literally wipe out the tide if they wanted to.


    L had no doubt that the beasts ran away because of the Duke''s killing spree. After all, those beasts should have sensed the danger that the Duke brought.


    Sadly for L, the Duke vanished along with his people when the beasts started retreating. It was as if they just disappeared into thin air.


    Because of this, he was not able to converse with him or even challenge him to a friendly duel!


    A fight against a monster like Lucas Rothley would have been very very fun.


    Since the Duke wasing this time, L was pretty excited. He wanted to challenge the man into a fight. He needed to see who was stronger between them! Moreover, even if he lost, L would be very honored to fight against him once! He started beaming, which only made the others frown.


    As people who had known him since he was younger, the people around this table must have already guessed that L was nning to ask the Duke for a duel!


    "We cannot exactly rescind the invite now, can we?" Emperor Goosebourne looked at Martin. He ignored the smile on L''s face and just focused on Martin.


    "No. I do not think the Duke would appreciate that. Clearly, he is nning something. We need to know what it is." Martin said. "Moreover, we can use this opportunity to check and see if he really has some sort of secret when ites to the beasts."


    "Are you saying that he could control the beasts?" Brinley Fleur asked. "That Only the Dark Lord can do something like that."


    "I did not say that. However, isn''t it very suspicious that the tide in Rakha would end after he appeared?"


    "It was not because of his appearance! It was because of how he fought against them," L ize leaned against his chair and smirked at Martin. "Duke Lucas Rothley is stronger than most of you around this table. If he wanted to, I am confident that he would be able to end your lives. I saw him fight. I know most of the things that he is capable of."


    Everyone''s faces turned ugly. Seeing this, the smile on L''s face turned even brighter. Seeing them like this was very entertaining. At first, L did not want toe, but he was pretty bored and he wanted to make some people upset. So, he decided to ''visit''. Right now, L would not interject in the conversation and would just observe from the sidelines. He was not nning to join them right now as all he wanted to do was have fun.


    Clearly, the arrival of the Duke would give him the fix that he needed.


    "So, what are we going to do about it?" Myra Gliss asked.


    "We observe him," Martin said. "The Duke should not be left alone. One of us is to apany him everywhere."


    "And you think he would allow that to happen?" L knew how difficult it would be to do that. Lucas Rothley was not someone they could control. He had no known weakness and was a very stubborn man. He was blunt and would not hesitate to insult them if they said something stupid.


    Apanying him would be akin to exposing themselves.


    L was certain that no one at this table would want something like that.
