The scene was very awkward. The three knights didn't know what to do. That's right. According to normal circumstances, when the old lord passed away and the new lord took office, the three knights in the family would automatically be transferred to the new lord. So there was nothing wrong with greeting Paris. But the problem was that not only was the old lord still alive, but he was also right in front of them. Should they immediately transfer to the new lord's side? It wouldn't be appropriate.
"Oh? Do you have any other thoughts? " Li Huailin's expression sank slightly, which made the three knights nervous again. Now that they thought about it carefully, it was Li Huailin's order, so the matter of Paris being the Earl was basically settled. With Li Huailin's current status, there shouldn't be any problems with this matter. Besides, they heard that the current emperor was Li Huailin's brother. This matter could be settled with just a word from Li Huailin. It seemed like they couldn't stop this matter no matter what they said. It didn't mean that this matter couldn't be carried out if they didn't agree. Now, they were just asking them to express whether they were willing to recognize this new lord. If they didn't … A tragic ending awaited them.
Thinking until here, the three knights looked at each other and then at Mosaken. After exchanging glances, the three of them walked in front of Paris and knelt on one knee in a knight's salute. "Greetings, Madam Overlord."
"You … You guys …" Mosaken still hadn't recovered from the shock. His Earl title was lost just like that. This was too exaggerated. Yesterday, he was still thinking of seizing this thorium mine. When he had money, he could rise again and rejuvenate his second spring. In the end, his second spring was gone in a single day, and even his Earl title was gone?
"Alright, alright. Since the matter has been resolved, you can bring the new earl back to take up his post. I'll just inform Anthony about it. The official letter of appointment will probably arrive soon." Li Huailin waved his hand, then pointed to Mosaken beside him. "Drag this guy away too."
"My … my lord!" Upon hearing Li Huailin's words, Mosaken suddenly recovered and knelt in front of Li Huailin. "Sir, you can't deprive me of my title. I can't be without it!"
"Do you have anything to do with me?" Li Huailin waved his hand. "Look, it's already been decided in a meeting. You've more or less accepted it. Someone, drag this guy away."
A Knight silently pulled Mosaken away. This wasn't because he wanted to listen to Li Huailin, but because he knew that it was useless for Mosaken to say anything here. It was better not to lose face. After all, Mosaken was his lord.
"No … I don't admit it. I'm the count! I'm the one who … "Mosaken was basically dragged away while crying and throwing a tantrum. The people watching by the side also sighed. A few minutes ago, this guy was still clamoring in front of them. He probably didn't expect such an outcome. Of course, no one sympathized with this guy. After all, if Li Huailin didn't happen to pass by here, and they happened to have something that Li Huailin wanted, they would be the ones in tragedy. In this dog-eat-dog society, they were just lucky enough to escape.
"Damn it, where's my stuff? Why aren't they here yet? "Li Huailin said impatiently.
"They'll be here soon, my lord." Upon hearing Li Huailin's words, the boss of the society that organized the auction immediately went up and said. This guy was much more dangerous than Earl Mosaken, so he had to serve him well. "Our base is a little far. I've already asked my men to speed up."
"Then what are you guys still doing here? Isn't it about time to disperse? What happens next is none of your business. "Li Huailin looked at the group of society bosses and said.
The bosses looked at each other for a moment. Li Huailin was ready to chase them away. Of course, they didn't want to stay here any longer. Although they wanted to curry favor with Li Huailin, the difference in status between the two sides was really a little too big. Could they curry favor with him? Or rather, what capital did they have to curry favor with him? Speaking of this, they looked at the boss of the auction. This guy had inexplicably latched onto someone powerful. Maybe he would make a meteoric rise in the future. Although they were envious, there was nothing they could do. Who asked him to be so lucky?
Just as they were about to leave, the boss named Wade suddenly said, "My lord, there is actually one more thing. I don't know if I can trouble you with it."
Everyone looked at Wade in surprise. At this time, this guy actually still wanted to say something? Are you really not afraid that Li Huailin will directly flip out? He has already given everyone a lot of face by helping you solve the problem of the war. Don't push your luck. Everyone looked at Wade in surprise, then looked at Li Huailin worriedly.
"Is there anything else?" Li Huailin was a little dissatisfied. "What is it?"
"My lord, I don't know if you can leave this guy to us." Wade pointed to another person behind Li Huailin and said.
Everyone looked in the direction of Wade's finger. When they saw who he was pointing at, everyone understood. Yes, the person Wade was referring to was Stark, the person who betrayed them to Earl Mosaken. Of course, Stark was still at the scene, but things had changed so quickly that Stark hadn't come back to his senses yet. He was just sitting on the ground in a daze. The bosses had forgotten about this matter just now. After all, they were also confused by the scene. Now that they heard Wade's words, of course, they all remembered it.
"Yes, there's also this guy!" "Kid, weren't you very arrogant just now? Now that your master is gone, what are you going to do? "
Hearing the voices of the club bosses, Stark came back to his senses. The current situation was too bad. According to the rules of Cesidus City, he was really dead. Thinking of this, the panicked Stark was already in a mess. He crawled to Li Huailin in front of him. "My … My lord, save me!"
"Uh … Big Brother, who are you?" Li Huailin was dumbfounded. Yes, even Li Huailin didn't know who this guy was. Li Huailin didn't see the plot of Stark betraying them at all, okay? So Li Huailin didn't know why the boss wanted this person.
Li Huailin's question made Stark a little confused. Yes, there really didn't seem to be anything wrong with it. Li Huailin really didn't know him, then … Wasn't he finished? Of course, Stark couldn't die just like that. He quickly pulled Li Huailin. "My lord, please save me this time. I'll do anything for you in the future …"
"Hey, you're not the only one who's willing to do anything for me. I think it's a good thing. If you don't believe me, ask how many people here are willing to do anything for me." Li Huailin pointed to the person beside him. Of course, think about what kind of person Geert, who was working for Li Huailin now. These people were willing to work for him as long as Li Huailin opened his mouth, and they were even fighting for him.
"Uh, this …" Stark really couldn't refute. After all, what he said seemed to be the truth.
"Men, drag him away." Li Huailin waved his hand, and two impatient bosses were ready to pull him away. They really wanted to tear this traitor apart on the spot.
"Don't … Don't come any closer!" Stark was so anxious that he didn't care about anything else. He picked up a sharp piece of wood beside him and pointed it at Li Huailin's neck. "If you come any closer, I'll stab this guy to death. When that happens, we'll all die together."
Everyone stood in place, not daring to move. Yes, if something happened to the Emperor of the Continent, it would definitely be earth-shattering. In a moment, the entire city would be flattened by Li Huailin's subordinates.
"Uh …" Li Huailin facepalmed. He was really speechless because of this idiotic behavior.
"Come on, stab him as hard as you can." The one who spoke was the Jade Emperor. Putting aside the fact that Li Huailin was a player and wouldn't die for real, she held the Divine Sword of Life in her hand. Now that she had activated her aura, it would be impressive if she could stab Li Huailin to death.
"Hey, Jade Emperor, I didn't f * cking do anything to you," Li Huailin said.
"It's not easy to find a quiet place to drink tea. You dragged the team leader to become an Earl. Hurry up and stab him a few more times to vent my anger," the Jade Emperor said.
"Hey, you can drink tea in an Earl's house, okay?" Li Huailin facepalmed.
"Yeah, Big Sister, calm down." Li Huailin and the Jade Emperor were just bickering, but the bosses next to them were really nervous.
"Yeah, yeah, don't scare them. If they really have a heart attack and die, who will be responsible?" Millennium Immutable also said, thinking that the matter was not big enough.
"Don't come any closer. I'll really do it," Stark shouted anxiously.
"You're so noisy." Li Huailin waved his hand, and with a "bang", Stark, who was beside him, was casually thrown into the wall by Li Huailin. Li Huailin was a little surprised. This guy is too weak. How dare he hold me hostage? He poked his head out and saw that Stark was still breathing. Fortunately, he didn't have any equipment. Otherwise, this cloth-armored guy would have been killed with a single punch.
"Ugh … My Lord is mighty." Seeing this situation, all the bosses heaved a sigh of relief. Li Huailin wasn't nervous at all. It seemed like he had a backup plan. It seemed like the strength of this continent's Emperor was also very strong. There was nothing for them to worry about.
"Alright, alright. I'll leave this guy to you. Deal with him yourselves." Li Huailin waved his hand. "You can leave now. Wait, you stay. You can leave when my item arrives."
"Yes, my Lord." The boss of the auction nodded.
