Chapter 640: Abnormal Marquises
This situation among the common people has not yet attracted the attention of most high-level professionals and nobles. The reason why Anvis noticed it was entirely due to his sensitivity to fate as a prophet.
Avis was well aware that there were still many people who were unwilling to give up on the popularization of the constructed network.
Although the Speaker's previous wave of sacrifices has caused the original victims of the Ninth Order to still be entangled by Maelim's negative power, the huge benefits brought by the construction network are self-evident.
Apart from anything else, before the Speaker launched the 'Final Plan', the immense, almost god-like feeling of power filled almost everyone who had truly understood it was addicted to it.
Indeed, handing over the highest control of the network to someone else may be dangerous, but if you build a similar network independently, wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?
With this mentality, although no one mentioned this matter openly, there are still some ambitious people in secret who plan to restart the "Construction Network 2.0" plan.
In fact, the federal officials did not collect and recycle those headbands in a centralized manner, which was also partly due to the influence of these people.
The key to constructing a network still lies in the users. As long as public opinion does not reject constructing a network, the foundation is still there.
And now, this trend has suddenly emerged among the people of the Federation, making it hard for Avis not to wonder if someone can no longer hold back and wants to stir up trouble.
It just so happened that over at Pamir College, his real body had attracted a lot of attention due to the affairs of the Hengjin Club and was currently in a low-key period.
Avis simply left his clone to do his daily punch-in at the academy for the time being, while his original body took the opportunity to withdraw and focus his main attention on the federal area.
However, although Anvis is no longer paying attention to the situation on the Empire side for the time being, the turmoil caused by his collision with the Hengjin Club has just begun.
After the two shadowy figures who were suspected to be Marquis Draka and Vice-President Xius left, Anvis told the Duke the whole story of their arrival, and also carefully described the process of Marquis Draka testing him.
When Vice-President Xius first showed up, he gave him a thousand credits as proof of his identity, as well as compensation for the space in the room where the two of them were confined, which frightened the students.
But after Marquis Draka tested him, the nature of the matter changed.
Although the other party did not actually take action, Anvis's identity as the direct descendant of the head of the Olivendi family was there.
Just as the Duke had specifically told him when he first left the province of Carlas. "Once you leave Carlas, you will represent the reputation of the Olivendi family—"
Anvis had no idea why the other party did this, but that didn't stop him from relaying the entire process to Duke Carrot.
Upon learning of the situation, Duke Carrot attached great importance to the matter. He directly brought up the matter at the regular meeting of nobles convened by Emperor Gloria, and forcefully demanded an explanation from Marquis Draka in public.
According to common sense, due to the huge background gap between the Marquis and the four dukes, this incident should be Marquis Draca who bleeds some, and then the other marquises and the peacemakers of the Enoch family will help out by saying a few words and eventually the matter will be dealt with.
In this way, the Olivendi family gained benefits and maintained their dignity, and others also found out Anvis's true strength and then determined how to treat this descendant of the Olivendi family.
But what actually happened was that Marquis Draka forcefully fought back, claiming that he had not taken any action.
"Please do not maliciously slander the relationship between the imperial nobles, my dear Duke Karlas. I have no 'malice' towards your descendants.
It was just that I was a little surprised by his talent at the time, and in my excitement, I accidentally forgot to use my pressure—"
Looking at Duke Carrot who was glaring at him, Marquis Draka narrowed his dark golden eyes, and his tone was extremely tough, yet also a bit sarcastic.
"It's just a bit of pressure, nothing really happened anyway, why not just let it go."
"Draca must have meant it unintentionally. Lord Kalot, there's no need to push her too hard, right?"
At the same time, the other two marquises rarely spoke together, expressing their support for Draka's behavior, believing that simply releasing the restraint on his own aura could not be considered a deliberate attack on Avis.
Maybe Draka just wanted to relax after being held back for too long, and happened to be in Avis' room at the time.
"Is this what makes you confident?"
Carlot laughed in anger, and at the same time his eyes swept over the other two marquises who spoke.
Marquis of Beshim, Marquis of Winter.
Carlotte knew these two people. They were both the type of marquis with more radical daily styles. He was not surprised even if they came together at this time.
If they thought that they could shake one of the four major families of the empire with the combined strength of three marquises, they were greatly mistaken.
"Okay, very good! In that case, then we have nothing to say. The Olivendi family is not afraid of any challenge.
However, I hope that one day when others are ‘careless’, you can still maintain your current confident attitude…”
With a sneer, Carrot was ready to end his speech.
"Sir Kalot, I also think that there is nothing wrong with what Sir Draka did this time."
But when Duke Carrot was about to sit down, the originally silent Marquis Anrita suddenly spoke softly and clearly stood on the side of Marquis Draka.
"If Lord Draka were to take action seriously, then Anvis would not be able to withstand it. Unless... he really has something hidden that is unknown to the public."
"Sir Anrita, do you think so too?"
After a slight pause, Carlotta looked at Anrita suspiciously, and suddenly stopped moving on the way to sit down, then slowly stood up again.
This female marquis who has remained neutral for many years has chosen to join Draca's camp this time?
Suddenly thinking of something, Duke Carrot's eyes swept across the other silent marquises like lightning. But in this fleeting glance, he saw some bad information from their eyes.
This made Carlotte's heart sink slowly, and at the same time he had a bad premonition.
"The actions of Marquis Draca have seriously offended the dignity of the Olivendi family. I think he must publicly apologize to the Olivendi family for this matter."
Seeing that something was amiss, the head of the Alfred family immediately spoke up and stated that he stood on the side of the Olivendi family.
At the same time, his eyes swept over the heads of the Enoch and Aslade families, hoping to get some support and give these marquises a warning.
But what surprised him was that the latter gave him an indifferent look, while the former suddenly began to study the patterns on his robe, as if there was some kind of magical truth contained in it.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision."
Realizing that the situation was getting out of control, Carlotte's gaze went straight to the Supreme Emperor of the Empire, Gloria III, who was sitting in the main seat and had not spoken a word before.
"My verdict?"
Hearing Carlotta's question, Gloria III smiled strangely.
"I'm afraid that this matter can only be resolved by you all slowly. Now, I have something to announce to you.
Due to my poor health, I need to rest for a while. Next, the consul I have chosen will temporarily take care of the trivial matters on my behalf.
During my recuperation, if something major happens in the empire, you will decide how to handle it."
After saying this, without waiting for Carlotte, who was stunned by the news, to come to his senses, Gloria III stood up and then disappeared like a phantom.
