Tang En certainly did not know that he had been targeted by Victor. He just did not expect that after helping the guards capture Night Song, the civilians' attitude towards him would drop a lot.
"That's for sure!"
Hilton said angrily. "In the eyes of those civilians, Night Song is the incarnation of punishing the nobles for them. Occasionally, they would even get some money or things from her. If you capture Night Song, you will be going against them. They will definitely go against you."
"I know that …"
Tang En was speechless. "But I didn't expect their reaction to be so big."
Yes, from that day onwards, the flow of civilians in the shop plummeted by 70%. Although Tang En did not expect them to spend money, he needed the popularity brought by these people.
Creatures like humans had strange habits. They all liked to gather together to talk about things. So, the more people there were in the shop, the more people would gather. It was precisely because of this that Tang En specially prepared some cheap goods in the shop for the civilians to consume.
"That's it for the time being. I … Oh, the duke is here."
Tang En, who was talking, suddenly saw a carriage stop at the door. The one who lifted the curtain and waved at him was Aubrey.
Tang En understood and said to Hilton, "I'm going out."
"My lord, do you need me to follow you?"
Elsa guessed what Tang En was going to do and was a little excited.
"You stay and take care of Elijah. Don't worry, there won't be a fight."
Tang En stuffed Elijah to Elsa and patted her head. "Be good."
"Okay!"
Elijah, who was like a mascot, nodded obediently. Tang En smiled and left the shop to board the carriage.
As soon as he got into the carriage, the coachman drove the carriage forward.
Aubrey was not the only one in the carriage. Ardern was also here.
"Kid, you should feel honored."
Aubrey snorted. "For your debt, the wise and mighty me and this stubborn old man with half a foot in the grave went to support you. No one has ever enjoyed such treatment."
"Not bad!"
Aradeline snorted coldly, "You're the first person in Irus to have me, the Grand Duke of Condemnation, and this stupid brute come out to settle a debt."
"Bastard! Who's the stupid brute?! "
"You are the bastard! Who's the stubborn old man with one foot in the grave?! "
"Old bastard, if you're not convinced then let's fight!"
"Let's fight! Who's afraid of who! It's time for you to change the name of your broken sword! "
"F * ck, so that's what you were planning! If the sword is destroyed, the person will die. Insulting my sword is the same as insulting me! I'll kill you first! "
"Clashing with that lousy sword of yours is my humiliation!"
"Stop stop stop!"
Tang En felt a headache coming on as he stood in the middle. If he allowed them to continue, the two of them would probably fight to the death before he could collect his debt.
These two fellows were really the reincarnation of mortal enemies. They couldn't even calm down for a moment.
Aubrey pursed his lips, "Hmph, I'll give you some face this time and let you go this time."
Aradeline's face was full of disdain, "I'm the one letting you go."
These two damn tsundere …
After finally calming down, the two of them started a cold war again. However, at least they weren't going to fight. Tang En was relieved.
The carriage brought them back to the garden area and to the Cadier residence.
"Don't worry later, just leave it to me."
Aubrey laughed heartily. "Let me show you the power of Aubrey Foyle in Arynx."
"I'll wait and see."
Aubrey pulled open the curtains and shouted at the guards at the door, "Open the door, I want to see that old bastard Frank Cadier!"
"Who are you?"
Aubrey, "…"
Tang En, "…"
Aradeline laughed maniacally, "Ahahahahaha!!!"
"What are you laughing at?! Quiet! "
The Cadier guards snorted, "Is the patriarch someone you can see just because you want to?"
"F * ck!"
The hot-tempered Aubrey immediately flew into a rage. In a flash, he rushed over and kicked the guards to the ground. Facing the nervous guards, Aubrey scolded: "Are you guys blind?! You don't even know me?! I'm Aubrey Foel! Even that old bastard Frank doesn't dare to be so rude to me! "
Aubrey Foel? Duke Foel?!
"Sorry! Duke! "
A guard ran out and shouted, "He's a new temp, so he doesn't know you!"
"Oh, a temp."
Aubrey sneered, "If he doesn't know me, you don't know me either? Open the door! Otherwise, get Frank to come out and see me! "
"Open the door! Open the door now! "
The tightly shut door opened. Aubrey spat and said disdainfully, "Open the door obediently. Do you have to be slapped in the face to make you obedient?"
The guards, "…"
They wanted to cry.
You're such a powerful Heaven's Enlightener, and a Duke at that, why are you fighting with small guards like us?
The carriage drove straight into the Cadier residence. The crisp sound of hooves could be heard from afar.
"They're here, Father."
Charles, who hated Tang En, said in a low voice, "I didn't expect Aubrey and Aradeline to stand up for him."
Frank Cadier put down his teacup. His slightly hoarse voice sounded in the room.
"Go and welcome our guests."
"They're considered guests?"
Charles sneered. "An arrogant brat. Does he think he can blackmail us just because he has Aubrey and Aradeline?"
"Don't talk nonsense. Go and set an example for your brother."
After a pause, Frank continued, "Don't do anything unnecessary. Aubrey has a bad temper. Be careful not to anger him."
"Damn it …"
Marquis Charles gritted his teeth and said, "If our bloodline could awaken talents, we wouldn't be so careful when facing them …"
"Bear with it … Soon … Soon, everything will be different …"
Frank leaned back in his seat, his face once again submerged in the smoke of the incense.
"Welcome … I mean, if it weren't for the necessary etiquette as a noble, I really wouldn't want to say this. Please don't mind me, Dukes. I'm talking about this uncouth, shameless idiot who came from a remote village and doesn't have any noble upbringing."
Charles stood on the stairs, looking down at Tang En and the other two. He showed no mercy in his words, showing his disdain for Tang En. His hateful look made people think that he had a huge grudge against Tang En.
"Eh? Isn't this Marquis Charles who left the House of Nobles in a mellow manner? Your injuries have healed? "
Tang En had a smile on his face. His neither arrogant nor rash elegant attitude made even the pickiest noble etiquette officer unable to find fault with him.
"You bastard. Isn't this all your doing!?"
Charles was furious. What happened at the House of Nobles that day was the greatest humiliation of his life. He had never been so humiliated before!
Tang En's face was full of innocence. "What are you talking about? I was standing in the interrogation room that day. "
"Still pretending to be innocent."
Charles sneered. "You admitted that you were a rogue mage at the Feier family's banquet! If a mage wants to make someone fall, there are too many ways, aren't there? Do you dare not admit it? "
"Indeed."
Tang En nodded. "But mages have more ways to kill people silently. Since you already know that I'm a mage, why are you still provoking me … Is there something wrong with your brain?"
"Arrogant! Can I take that as a threat!? "
Charles' heart skipped a beat, but he still said, "Although mages are mysterious and unpredictable, it's not impossible to deal with them. Not to mention, you're an imperial noble now. Do you want to openly violate the imperial law!?"
"You can say whatever you want. I didn't admit anything."
Tang En spread his hands. The playful smile on his face made Charles even more nervous.
"Enough!"
Aubrey said impatiently. "Where's Frank? We want to see him. You're not the chief yet. Get out of here and play with your eggs! "
Everyone knew that Aubrey's temper was very bad. His usual behavior and vulgar words made it difficult for people to associate him with a grand duke. But in fact, no one dared to question Aubrey's vulgarity. Instead, they all praised him for being true to himself.
Why was that?
It was because he had a strong fist and a strong background.
He was someone who couldn't be defeated in a fight. In addition, he married the former princess and was the brother-in-law of King Victor. With such a strong background, who dared to say anything bad about him?
So although Charles dared to rage at Tang En, he didn't dare to confront Aubrey directly.
"My father has already prepared tea and pastries in the study. He's waiting for you to meet the duke."
Charles bowed slightly. "This way please, Your Excellencies."
Among the nobles, one couldn't just barge in without the invitation of the master. So Charles deliberately excluded Tang En, wanting to annoy Tang En. But … he underestimated the thickness of Tang En's skin.
Seeing Aubrey and Aradeline go upstairs, Tang En naturally followed.
His skin is really thick … He's really a country bumpkin from a small place!
Charles secretly criticized Tang En. He glanced at him expressionlessly but didn't say anything.
Leading them to Frank's study, Charles knocked on the door first. "Father, the guests are here."
"Come in."
"Please come in."
Charles pushed the door open. Aubrey and Aradeline went straight in. Tang En was just about to go in when Charles stopped him.
"Wait a minute! Who allowed you to go in? "
Marquis Charles said indifferently. "You're just a small baron. What right do you have to see my father?"
"What right? I'm here to collect the debt! "
Tang En curled his lips and took out the bill again. "Is this IOU enough?"
Damn it, it's this IOU again.
Looking at the IOU, Charles felt his balls ache and his chrysanthemum tighten.
Why is this idiot so naive to think that we'll admit it!?
Is he stupid?
