Chapter 89: 89
Abel could also sense that the Knight of Rodney’s fighting power had been drained . However, after he heard what the Knight of Rodney had called him, a murderous desire flashed from his eyes . No one could know about Abel’s unique combat qi ability . Otherwise, he would become the mutual enemy of all Knights . Just think about it, if a Knight realized something could not only suck up their combat qi but use it to increase their own strength, of course, they would want that person dead .
Abel viciously squeezed with his legs around the neck of the Knight of Rodney . The Knight of Rodney was already defenseless by that point . With that immensely powerful squeeze, all the Knight of a Rodney could hear was a loud cracking sound coming from his neck . Soon, his head was hanging motionless on the ground, soft like jelly .
“I’ve only killed the Knight of Rodney out of self-defense . All of you in the crowd can testify this!” Abel said as he stood up . Since things had already progressed to this point, he no longer wanted to hide his identity .
He lightly lifted his face mask; the youthful face of Abel appeared in front of the crowd . From the innocent smile on his face, no one could have guessed this youngster was the killer of an elite knight .
“Master Abel!”
“It’s the Lord of Abel!”
The guests in the crowd could recognize Abel in one glance, and his fame was too wildly spread in Harvest City . Although it hasn’t been long since Abel had become famous, he already became the role model of how each family in Harvest City should educate their child . Outstanding, gifted, hardworking, ambitious, was just some common words people would often describe Abel as a person .
The crowd also knew that they had no choice but to expose their identity as well . Since he had killed an elite knight, Attending a black market auction was pale in comparison .
As the crowd revealed themselves one by one, most of them were businessmen, which only a few of them being nobles . The person who led Abel into this auction was a young noble .
At the time, Kree’s auction stall had already sent out all their guards and attendants to clean up the mess in the hall . The people in the crowd were being treated accordingly to their status . Abel was sitting on a chair, drinking a dense, aromatic coffee while chatting to that young noble .
“The honorable Lord of Abel, I am Polly, Cuiqi . It’s my pleasure to meet you!” Said that young noble as he bowed to Abel .
“Hello, are you from the Cuiqi family?” Abel had heard of the Cuiqi family . Although they did not have an estate, they were a famous noble family specialized in trades .
“I am the wildest son of the Cuiqi family . I am so glad you heard of us . It is my honor!” Poly seemed to be very well mannered . He gave another bow after he finished his sentence .
Abel slightly bowed back, “as long as you been to Harvest City, who would not know about the Cuiqi family!”
“It’s a pity that this glory of my family will soon get dimmer because of me . ” Said Polly with a bitter smile .
Abel knew that Polly’s father, the current inheritance of the Cuiqi family, was a lord . According to the law of The Duchy of Carmel, in order to become to inherit all the possession of a family, one must become a knight . Therefore, Polly had to become an official knight before his father passes away .
Polly looked at Abel with admiration . He said with his eyes fixed on Abel “I will one day to be like you, becoming a noble with an estate!”
Seeing someone a lot older than him looking at down with admiration, Abel couldn’t help but let out a smile . He then said, “hope your dreams come true! Harry Castle will be glad to welcome you for a visit . ”
Polly was very excited by Abel’s invitation . The social circle of these noble with estates were very hard to join . Forming a strong relationship with Abel would definitely make it a lot easier, and undoubtedly bring along a lot of benefits in the future .
Abel didn’t often socialize much with people . Since Polly seemed like a nice person, he decided to gave Polly an invite . Although he did not set a time for an invitation, it sent a signal to every noble nearby that Harry Castle had accepted Polly as a friend .
Abel then turned his head towards that young female elf who stood still at the exact same spot . Abel stood up and approached her . He asked with a nonthreatening voice “where are you from? Is there anything I can do to help you?”
The young female elf turned her big sparkly eyes towards Abel . She doesn’t seem to understand what he was saying .
“The honorable Lord of Abel, this elf could not understand human language . ” Said an old man with a silky suit, as he approached and bowed to Abel .
Abel gazed at the young female elf with a hint of pity, being thrown into a completely unfamiliar environment, and not knowing a single word of its language was like adding salt on top of a wound . Abel then turned towards the old man and asked: “Who are you?”
“The honorable Lord of Abel, I am Kree” said the old man in a silky suit, as he bowed to Abel again .
“Are you the owner of this auction stand?” Asked Abel as he lightly tilted his head towards Kree .
“Yes, it is a property of your humble servant,” Kree replied .
“I’ll buy this elf, when things had settled I will take her away,” said Abel in a stale tone . The outcome had already been confirmed by these words of Abel . He would not need to take Kree’s opinion into consideration .
“The honorable Lord of Abel, consider this elf as a gift from Kree’s auction stand,” said Kree, his voice came across as well-intentioned .
“Do I look like I don’t have enough money to pay for it myself ?” Abel didn’t care about money . He just didn’t want to have any affiliation with these black market auction stands . Since Abel still hadn’t fully calmed down from the fight he just had, he raised his voice as he said this, sending a light wave of impose into the atmosphere of the hall .
“Dong . . dong . . ” the sound of glasses falling on the floor . Abel’s wave of impose had knocked a few glasses of coffee off the hands of some nobles . It had completed caught them off guard, and the rest of the crowd had suddenly become quiet .
Luckily, Abel was still an intermediate Knight . His impose didn’t hold any damaging power . However, due to the interference of his pale gold combat qi, the area his impose was able to cover was even bigger than those of an elite knight .
Kree was directly facing Abel . He realized had deeply angered Abel, so he immediately fell to the floor . The surrounding crowd also looked at him with despise . Who did Kree thinks he was, a mere elf could settle the anger of the Lord of Abel? Not only that, but he still wanted to become a friend of Abel . No one with a mind would dare to do a stupid thing like this .
Abel took out 150 gold coins of a hundred value from his pocket and threw it in front of Kree . “the deal is complete!”
Suddenly, a noise came from outside the stand . It was a Harvest City public security guard . These public security guards are the law enforcement of Harvest City . However, they do not have any control over the nobles . If a noble broke a law, they could only be reported to the noble arbitral tribunal .
When the public security guard saw the Lord of Abel, they gave out an amiable expression . They stepped up and asked Abel ” the honorable Lord of Abel, did you get hurt?”
Abel replied, “hello public security guard . I’ve attended a little event within Kree’s auction stand and got attacked by an elite Knight . I even exposed my identity to him, but he still attacked me with his combat qi . ”
“My goodness . An elite knight has the guts to attack the Lord of Abel in Harvest city?” The face of the public security guard immediately changed . Attacking a noble with an estate was a very serious matter, let alone the person committing the crime was an elite knight . This situation at hand must be very troublesome .
“Of course, everyone here can testify it . I swear to the spirit that everything I said was true!” Said Abel, pointing at the crowd in the hall .
“I swear to the spirit that everything the Lord of Abel had said was true!” No one in the crowd had the guts to offend the Lord of Abel for a dead elite knight, especially when Abel really was telling the truth .
“The honorable Lord of Abel, where is the guy who had attacked you?” Asked a public security guard .
“The guy is there” Abel replied, pointing at a dead body on the ground .
The public security guard stepped up and flip the dead body around . When he saw the face of the dead body, he can’t help but call out in fear “it was the Elite Knight of Rodney . ”
Of course, the public security guard knew about the Knight of Rodney . In fact, he was very familiar with him . Ever since the Knight of Rodney had become a knight of the City Palace, he was responsible for arresting and killing countless intermediate and elite occupation holders . He was definitely one of the most powerful knights in the city .
However, the public security guard knew fully well that, since the Knight of Rodney was the one who attacked the Lord of Abel first, getting killed was inevitable . No matter what had happened, no one could ever insult the dignity of a noble .
“Which superior killed the Knight of Rodney?” Said the public security guard with a bow .
“I killed him myself . ” Said Abel with a monotone voice .
