Chapter 275 Sneak Attack (1)
Grand Duke Egbert was extremely upset. He originally thought that marrying the princess would be a great honor for the Egbert family and would make the family more prosperous. Who knew that the princess actually had such a powerful old lover? If he had known this earlier, he would not have wanted to involve the Egbert family in this mess.
Now, they have come to our door.
Although he had already noticed that this young man was extremely dangerous and far more than just a nine-star hero, when they really started fighting, Egbert found that this man was more dangerous than he had imagined.
He even felt that he was not facing a human being at all, but a violent and unmatched dragon.
When did Granville Kingdom have such a master? How could a young man like me who relied on potions to build up his abilities be able to match a young talent like this who had the ability to challenge opponents of higher levels? Another thing that made Egbert very strange was the woman standing next to the young man.
Grand Duke Egbert could see through the woman's strength, which was one star higher than his own, a legendary seven-star level... But the strange thing was that this woman actually made him feel inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.
But, this is absolutely impossible. If she is really such a beautiful and powerful woman, I will never forget her once I have met her.
Suddenly, Grand Duke Egbert trembled. In extreme fear, his mind suddenly woke up and he finally remembered.
Isn't this the seventh princess of that old bastard Holt 474, Agnes? Although Agnes has never appeared in public since her marriage, Grand Duke Egbert personally attended the wedding banquet. It's just that he only met her once and was not impressed, so he didn't think of Agnes the first time he saw her.
But, Princess Agnes, why would she appear next to this man?
Could it be that this man had cheated on that old Holt 474th? He was holding a little girl in his arms... My goodness, his daughter is already so big, could it be that they hooked up just a few years after becoming the princess? Holt 474th had been cuckolded for quite a long time.
This guy not only took in Holt's princess, but even Holt's daughter? Isn't this hobby a bit perverted?
But now it's all clear.
This young man had robbed Holt's princess, which must have made Holt hate him to the core. After all, he was the king, how could he tolerate such humiliation? Holt could not tolerate his eldest princess being abducted by the man who had robbed his princess, so he chose to marry Dolores off. The reason why he chose the Egbert family was nothing more than wanting to tie himself to the royal chariot and win over another master.
After all, this young man's strength is extraordinary.
And Agnes is a legendary seven-star.
Even with the power of the royal family, if they wanted to deal with these two beings at the same time, they would definitely have to pay a huge price.
Damn old thing, I've been completely cheated.
But now, Grand Duke Egbert no longer has time to think about all those messy things. The most important thing now is how to survive from this angry young man.
As long as you keep alive, there is hope.
Although he is the Grand Duke and a legendary six-star master, at this moment, Grand Duke Egbert is full of flattery. His face is twisted into a ball, revealing a smile that is uglier than crying: "Little...Mr. Xiao is right, my son is a coward, a beast worse than pigs and dogs, how can he be worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
"Only a young man as handsome and suave as you can be worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess. You and Her Royal Highness the Princess standing together are simply a match made in heaven."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar all around.
The scene of Grand Duke Egbert running away without caring about his son's life or death, and even kneeling on the ground, was shocking enough. But who would have thought that he could be so fawning and flattering in front of a young man who was much younger than him. The Egbert family didn't want to leave any dignity behind.
The rustling sounds all around made Grand Duke Egbert sneer.
Decent?
How much is your dignity worth? The most important thing is to stay alive.
He was able to climb to the position of Grand Duke of the Egbert family because of his shamelessness. After he killed his older brothers and younger brothers, the title of Grand Duke naturally became his.
What's more, he did this just to paralyze the young man.
This young man has such strength at such a young age. Although it is terrifying, his character can never be as mature as that of an adult.
As long as you feel comfortable taking the photo, you might be able to save a life.
It is even possible that if this kid accidentally reveals a flaw, I might be able to seize the opportunity and kill him directly.
Then, if we just kill all the idiots watching around and those untouchables who dare to spread rumors, and tens of thousands of people die, who would dare to say anything wrong about the Egbert family?
In a short period of time, countless thoughts emerged in Grand Duke Egbert's mind. Although his strength was built up by potions, being able to get so many potions was also an asset.
What Grand Duke Egbert can accumulate is naturally not only his own strength, but also the equipment on his body and special abilities that can be used to save his life.
His eyes rolled around as he planned carefully.
However, Grand Duke Egbert did not notice that all his reactions were seen by Ron, but Ron did not care. He just smiled and said, "You are a sensible person..."
"I'm curious, what exactly is your plan?" Ron raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"Sir, I really don't know the specific situation. This matter originally had nothing to do with our Egbert family. Almost a month ago, Vice Pope Apu suddenly came to visit us and said that he was commissioned by Holt 474 to marry Princess Dolores to my son..."
"Sir, you know that marrying a princess is a great honor for nobles like us. How could we possibly refuse such a thing?"
"I really didn't expect that you also fell in love with Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"I never thought that my son, who was not doing well, would actually offend you. So, I will leave my son to you to deal with. You can kill him or chop him up as you wish. My Egbert family will never interfere, let alone defend him."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"In addition, the Egbert family is willing to pay one million gold coins as an apology. What do you think?"
Hiss! There was a sound of people sucking in their breath.
This is really a huge investment.
Not only did he abandon his own son, but he also wanted to pay a million gold coins as an apology? As expected of a Grand Duke, his family background is really rich. He didn't even blink an eye at all for a million gold coins.
Ron sneered in his heart, and he finally remembered the name of the Egbert family.
He once thought that this might be another force that did not exist in the game, similar to the Andre family. But just now, when Grand Duke Egbert mentioned one million gold coins, Ron suddenly remembered where he had heard this name.
The Egbert family has indeed never officially appeared in the game, but when Dolores took complete action against the nobles, they were mentioned by Dolores.
This was the first great nobleman that Dolores completely eliminated.
According to Dolores's lines, the old and moldy food seized from the Egbert family was enough for the Granville Kingdom to eat for several months. The gold coins seized amounted to hundreds of millions, enough to cover the Granville Kingdom's military expenses for several years.
One million gold coins, is that really nothing to the Egbert family? Ron seemed shocked by this exaggerated number, and his expression was obviously a little stunned.
Seeing Ron's expression, Grand Duke Egbert looked down on him, thinking that he was just a country bumpkin who was frightened by a mere one million gold coins.
In the Grand Duke's treasury, the gold coins are almost going moldy.
That’s not all. Egbert even felt that the pressure that had been looming over him like a mountain was suddenly greatly reduced.
He was delighted, and a sharp dagger slipped silently from his sleeve.
"You are very good. You are quite sensible. After all, it was your son who offended me, not you. I am not the kind of person who would hold others responsible. In this case, I will let you go for now..." Ron narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile, seeming quite satisfied with the income of one million gold coins.
At this moment, a cold light suddenly flashed in the eyes of Grand Duke Egbert, who was kneeling on the ground. The next moment, a sharp dark brown light suddenly stabbed Ron's abdomen from bottom to top.
Sneak attack!
