Chapter 249: 248 What are you still playing? Chapter 249: 248 What are you still playing? “Reiseg!”
As everyone watched Reiseg being kicked away by Shane, led by Farbion, all exclaimed in shock.
The surrounding Adventurers also cried out in surprise, causing complete chaos.
“What are you doing!?”
“How dare you attack…!”
Both Kiefer Guss and Carter were enraged, both placing their hands on their swords at their waists and drawing them.
Even Lana hadn’t expected Shane to suddenly strike, her expression slightly changing.
As the surrounding Knights similarly reacted, all furious and ready to draw their weapons to surround Shane, Farbion shouted.
Farbion then stopped everyone, causing all the Knights to freeze in place, not daring to move.
Farbion then looked sternly at Shane, his expression dark and suppressing his anger as he spoke.
“What is the meaning of this?”
Farbion questioned in a deep voice.
“This should be my line,” Shane replied unflinchingly, scoffing, “Wasn’t it your family’s Deputy Commander who drew his sword first? And now you blame me first? I can only report this matter to Her Highness and let Her Highness decide.”
Farbion’s expression changed, and he quickly spoke.
“No, that won’t be necessary,” Farbion said, somewhat angrily yet trying to contain his anger, “This time it was our fault, we…”
Unfortunately, Farbion couldn’t finish his words.
Because the person concerned exploded first.
Reiseg got up from the ground, his face completely filled with rage as he bellowed.
“How dare you kick me? Just an Adventurer! What audacity!”
Such words of anger did not infuriate Shane; rather, they made him look at Reiseg with disdain.
After all, this brainless fellow had completely forgotten that he was not the only Adventurer present.
Sure enough, the expressions of the surrounding Adventurers became somewhat ugly.
Seeing this scene, both Kiefer and Carter were shocked and quickly scolded.
Reiseg also realized the issue with his statement, feeling the angry glares of the surrounding Adventurers, his temples twitching, his anger on his face even greater.
Seeing the atmosphere beginning to change, and themselves seemingly becoming the public enemy of the Adventurers, Farbion glowered at Reiseg, compelled to speak out.
“Alright, it was all just a misunderstanding.”
Farbion quickly spoke out.
“Since Lord Shane insists on entering the Canyon, we naturally dare not stop you any longer. May you achieve your goals smoothly.”
Leaving these words behind, Farbion, appearing no longer wishing to stay, turned to Reiseg and hissed softly.
After speaking, Farbion walked back to the Knight Order’s camp with a stride that clearly conveyed his emotions.
Both Kiefer and Carter also left, one with a low warning and the other voicing their disappointment.
Reiseg felt extremely suffocated, gasping heavily, staring intently at Shane as if wishing to kill him with his gaze.
Shane, looking at such a Reiseg, revealed a large smile on his face.
That smile was full of taunt.
Reiseg really wanted to rush forward and kill Shane.
But he knew that making a move now would definitely be a disaster.
At that moment, Reiseg roared and turned his head, storming off angrily.
Only Lana was left, giving Shane a deep look before she too turned and left.
The pillars of the Kingdom Knights had swallowed their pride and left the scenes with ugly expressions.
This resulted in the knights looking at Shane with both malice and fear, eventually retreating meekly without daring to do much.
On the other hand, the adventurers felt a burst of satisfaction.
“Even those arrogant Kingdom Knights finally took a hit.”
“It’s so satisfying.”
“Never mind the past, but in the recent years, the Kingdom Knights really haven’t been up to snuff, even a person like Reiseg Galuoli has become the Deputy Commander.”
“There’s nothing that can be done, isn’t he a genius after all?”
“Having the strength and being from the Galuo Li family, even if he isn’t that smart, he can still climb the ranks.”
“That’s why I don’t want to join the Kingdom Knights.”
The group of adventurers began chattering among themselves.
Shane, however, was observing the people from the Galuo Li family, pondering to himself.
“This performance, if there’s nothing wrong, I’ll stand on my head and eat crap.”
It was too easy to notice that something was off; these guys really didn’t make good villains.
Next to him, Ai Yi, who had witnessed the whole process, seemed to be getting interested.
“You, the Hero, really are different,” Ai Yi glanced at Shane and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen a Hero so violent that he kicks people when words fail.”
“What else could I do? Let that obviously secondary character keep annoying me with his sarcastic comments?” Shane curled his lips and said, “Do you think I’m the kind of person who remains unflappable when the mountain collapses before him, who can endure the disgusting behavior of others without getting angry?”
Sorry, but I’m just this straightforward and brutal; when in doubt, I just plow through.
Not to mention, ever since that time with Magre, Shane had found that dealing with these so-called unruly and arrogant noble young masters by kicking them away was the most satisfying feeling.
He had the Royal Family’s token anyway, and could cling to the Princess’ leg and wave her banner around, so why not be a bit reckless?
If not, holding onto the Royal Family’s token would only bring trouble, right?
Shane wasn’t that foolish.
So, having a backer meant being direct, no need to beat around the bush.
“That’s why I say you’re different,” Ai Yi gave Shane a look, but wasn’t put off by it at all, even appreciating his style: “You’re much more to my taste than those past Heroes who claim to want to save the world and achieve peace, tirelessly fighting the Demon Clan but only preaching bland moralizing among the Human Race. Such hypocrisy.”
Being from the power-worshipping Demon Clan, Ai Yi really couldn’t stand those so-called manners and hypocrisy prevalent among the Human Race.
Just fight it out, right?
A fight would settle it, right?
Whoever wins gets to have the say, isn’t that the logic of the world?
Why bother with all those flashy but empty gestures when they can’t even withstand a single punch from us? What’s the point of playing along?
Holding such thoughts, Ai Yi actually admired Shane’s actions instead of taking offense.
Shane spoke annoyedly to Ai Yi.
“Enough, let’s hurry up and look inside the Canyon.”
More than anything, Shane wanted to ensure that Vivian and the others were safe.
Thus, Shane took Ai Yi and entered the Canyon.
The group of adventurers watching this scene hurried to follow, but they were once again blocked by the knights.
A new round of arguing was about to begin.
But, this was no longer Shane’s concern.
