Because, as long as one is a nobleman, one will have the mindset of a merchant.
For the sake of value and profit, any means are acceptable.
This is something that all the imperial nobles have in common.
They split early on into two factions, one supporting the eldest prince and the other supporting the second prince, all in the hope of bringing more benefits and status to their families in the future.
However, when Ultraman Lipo saw Lia, she did not have this reaction.
Instead of bowing her head, she started hurling insults at her.
Suddenly, Ripoulter remembered.
Not only now, but also before, when the demon of greed appeared and spread its aura of greed in all directions.
All nobles were affected.
Only this woman remained completely unaffected.
Perhaps he needs to re-examine some of these people.
His golden, quicksand-like eyes looked at Lia, and he murmured to himself:
"Truly...a pure soul."
"You're a complete idiot!"
Her anger poured out like a torrential downpour, relentlessly launching sharp accusations at Ripoultry:
"You keep saying we're dirty, what makes you so great?!"
"What I despise most is hypocritical and hypocritical trash like you!"
The barrage of angry words left Riboot completely stunned.
Even the nobles present gradually came to their senses.
That's right!
All of this happened because of Riboot.
The Southern Rift was not torn open by these nobles, nor did the demons appear because of them.
But Lipoulter kept calling them dirty and putting all sorts of accusations on them.
What kind of sophistry is this?
The nobles originally held Lipoulter in high esteem precisely because he was the head of the Reiser family.
But now that the other party isn't even acting anymore, it's clear they no longer need to respect him.
With this in mind, the nobles used every trick in the book, as if they were factions vying for power in the palace, showing no sign of backing down.
They jostled each other, afraid that the words they were about to utter would be snatched away by other nobles.
"You motherfucker, we're all filthy, and you're the purest one, aren't you?"
"You're the one who widened the monster rift, and now you're pretending to be innocent?"
"Did we even consider your own feelings beforehand? You do something heinous and you still think you're right?"
"Damn it, my son is still in the military camp in the south. If anything happens to him, the Ned family will never let you off the hook!"
"Me too, count me in!"
The nobles straightened their backs and began to hurl insults at Riboot.
All aristocratic elegance and noble demeanor vanished at this moment.
They were all like ordinary people, spewing out primal profanities hidden deep in their bones.
Lipoulter was universally disliked and criticized by everyone present.
Perhaps even he himself didn't expect it.
When he looked at the group of people, they not only didn't look away, but also went even further by verbally abusing him.
Lipoultry looked around and finally fixed his gaze on the Crown Prince in the distance.
The eldest prince was also staring directly at him, and after sensing the other's gaze, his eyes met Riboot's golden eyes.
Almost simultaneously, the surrounding nobles suddenly fell silent in perfect unison.
Only the eldest prince remained, and his deep voice slowly rose:
“Uncle… no, Ripoult.”
“I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but this is the Empire.”
His gaze was fixed on Lipoulter, his eyes filled with endless disappointment.
"This is never a place where you can act recklessly."
Lipoult was quite surprised; his eyes widened slightly, as if he had never considered the resistance of these humans.
Just as he was surprised, a calm voice rang in his ear:
"The funniest thing is that no matter how hard you try to maintain that fake smile."
"But the pride that's in your bones will always be on the surface."
Victor looked calmly at Riboot, and at that moment, Riboot also turned his head.
Jin Can's gaze met Viktor's, and Viktor's words rang out again.
"Am I right? Lipoulter Nannard, president of the Cassidra Chamber of Commerce?"
Suddenly, Ripoot's eyes widened slightly.
As if he had understood something, he smiled with relief:
"So that's how it is. It's because you knew my true identity, that you knew I wasn't a member of the Empire, that's why you..."
But before he could finish speaking, Viktor's voice rang out again, interrupting his last words.
"Perhaps this name doesn't suit you, and I think you probably don't like it."
This time, the moment the voice fell, an enormous blue flame burst into flames behind Viktor.
Accompanied by powerful magic, heavy formations piled up behind him.
In the blink of an eye, an enormous dragon head totem suddenly appeared in the center of the formation.
The dragon looked like it was baring its sharp teeth, each of which was bursting with terrifying flames.
Chaotic blue flames swept through the space, causing a scorching heat wave in the surrounding area.
The bird-headed staff that Victor was holding was also raised by him, gradually pointing at Riboot's head.
Those eyes, which seemed to be burning with candlelight, once again shone with a bright light.
"Then, Hermes."
