Chapter 1497 Bonus Chapter 1337: Confrontation
Alex puckered his brows. However, he returned to his usual expression shortly after after going through the information about this man.
In every race, nation, and group, there will always be good guys and bad guys. If the degenerates of the Kinsley's Kingdom were the parliament members, this man here could be considered a representative of the good guys.
Of course, judging from a political and religious standpoint, he, Alex, and the Renner Kingdom were entirely different. He loved his country, defended it, and agreed with the Parliament's way of fighting for freedom and authority instead of relying on the empire. However, he also objected to the Parliament's Human supremacy policy and disliked watching the Light Parliament intervene in other nation's affairs. It was especially so during the conflict with the Renner Kingdom. Adan objected to their actions because he believed that the Kingsley's Kingdom should focus its priorities on managing domestic affairs and not intervening in the internal affairs of other nations in the name of promoting freedom and justice. Of course, this wasn't because he respected the standpoints of other nations. Instead, he believed that the conditions of the internal department of the Kingsley's Kingdom weren't stabilized yet for them to play such a game.
"I didn't expect to see Sir Adan Sheple in person. How surprising."
"You know who I am?"
The man opened his eyes wide in surprise. However, Alex didn't answer directly. He nodded slightly and said with a poker face.
Adan stared at Alex in silence while the latter didn't budge at all. Got to admit, Adan's appearance had indeed surprised him. However, the soldiers around him weren't from his Legion. Instead, judging from their appearance, they seemed more like the troops of Kingsley's Parliament. Alex couldn't get his head around why Adan was with these guys instead.
Adan shifted his gaze to the group around him. Then, he let out a snort and stepped forward.
"We represent the Kingsley's Parliament to investigate the truth of the incident of the disappearance of the Kingsley's Blueberry Trade Group!"
"… Huh?"
Alex was genuinely surprised, normally this incident should have ended. It happened a few weeks ago, a group of merchants suddenly disappeared, the matter has been investigated and concluded as the doing of demons, beside the Renner Kingdom also lost a few groups, so it was natural for Alex to be surprised given the reason.
"If I recall correctly, this incident should have ended a long time ago."
"This matter hasn't come to an end yet."
Perhaps with Adan as their support, the pale soldier regained his arrogance and let out a grunt of disdain.
"Of course, the Kingsley's Kingdom Parliament has received the report from the Renner Kingdom. But our Parliament deems that the report is full of suspicion and this is why we represent them in coming here to investigate the truth! Although this incident is over, the incident of the disappearance of the Blueberry Trade group has brought about devastation and serious damage to the entire kingdom. We will never allow such a mishap to happen again. We need to excavate the truth and bring the justice of light upon this world!"
"Truth? I think you guys are looking for the truth that only you wish to see."
Alex let out a snort and swept a glance at Adan. It was apparent that this group of people was here to find trouble with the Renner Kingdom. On the other hand, Adan always had political disagreements with Kingsley's Kingdom Parliament. But this time, he joined the investigations team and didn't bring his subordinates.
The Kingsley's Parliament might be considering discharging him from the force since Adan couldn't do much in the Renner Kingdom. Alex had some evil guesses. Perhaps Kingsley's Parliament was hoping that Adan would cause some trouble in the Renner Kingdom and get taken out by someone. This way, they could kill two birds with one stone. Not only could they use this chance to tackle Renner Kingdom, but they could also remove a thorn in their side.
"Hmph!"
The man sulked instantly to Alex's ridicule.
"What rights do you lackeys of a dictator have against us?"
"This is the territory of the Renner Kingdom. I'm an overlord of the Renner Kingdom and the guys you have detained are my men."
Alex's voice gradually deepened. The sharp aura he emanated against Adan once again erupted.
"I repeat. Let my men go and leave this place. If you want to find trouble with us, put on a record with the Royal Family. If not…"
"What will you do?"
The man lifted his head in disdain.
"Suffer the consequences," Alex stated calmly.
"How dare you!"
The man gritted his teeth and widened his eyes furiously.
"Do you know that you're threatening the diplomatic envoys of the Kingsley's Kingdom? You country bumpkin! Great. Since you don't know your place, I don't need to speak any further. Soldiers! Capture this man. I suspect that these guys are secretly communicating with those Dali scums and are the main culprits of the disappearance of the Blueberry Trade group! Catch them now!"
The Kingsley's Kingdom soldiers strode toward Alex. The latter showed a smile and the whizzing sword aura abruptly shrunk.
Not good!
Adan sulked instantly. However, it wasn't Alex's sword aura that shocked him. Instead, it was the speed of its withdrawal. The sword aura vanished in an instant, which was enough to prove the young man's swordsmanship attainment. Adan sensed a clear trace of danger. Even though the young man was smiling warmly, Adan, as a famous sword expert, instantly detected the hidden dangers.
That was a clear murderous intent as though one unsheathing his sharp sword!
But before Adan spoke, Alex struck out!
Alex darted forward in a flash, leading a trail of afterimages toward the dozen soldiers. The soldiers weren't prepared for this attack at all. They were used to being overbearing and bossy in the Kingsley's Kingdom, where no one in the Renner Kingdom dared to lay a finger on them. But they had never expected this young Lord to take action! When they came to their senses, Alex had already dashed into their group!
Shing!
