Chapter 176 - 133: Hassaka Cleaning Up Traces and the Sweeping Craze Across the Duchy (12000, 48/65)_4
Though he knew that Earl Campbell would be extremely displeased that he had used some underhanded tactics to have his illegitimate child, Wells, eliminated, he hadn’t expected revenge to come so quickly... and so childishly.
Most likely, in keeping with the old noble customs of not wanting to harm younger generations directly, he had arranged for children of the same age to look for opportunities to get revenge.
But Kael couldn’t understand why, in order to get revenge on him, they would kill an innocent young life. Did they think he would feel sorrow over that?
Seeing Kael remain completely still, the housekeeper on the side, sensing trouble brewing, prepared to intervene.
However, unexpectedly, one of the youths quietly blocked his way, preventing him from taking action.
The other youth stood in front of Kael, first glancing at the dissatisfied Harry and snorting.
Then he looked at Kael with a strange expression, as if questioning why this guy was here.
But soon, the more he looked at the graceful and composed Kael, the more unpleasant he found him, and he sneered:
"Hey, you must be that incubus who tarnished the glory of Lion Heart Blood that’s been talked about everywhere, aren’t you?"
The youth looked at Kael maliciously, sizing him up, not knowing why, but the more he looked, the more he had the urge to tear and trample upon him.
This person was too good-looking, causing him to feel jealous for no reason. He wanted to crush the owner of this face violently underfoot, making him obediently submit.
Kael raised his head slightly, glanced at him, and then lowered his head again, with a flicker of "contempt" in his eyes.
The Campbell youth was enraged at this glance, feeling as if he had been scorned. Anger surged within him, and a malicious intent burst forth from his heart.
He suddenly advanced, and without saying a word, raised his fist, intending to strike Kael.
But in the next second, he instinctively moved his gaze from Kael’s face to his upper body.
"Punishing this guy will be enough, I can’t injure his face. It wouldn’t be in line with noble etiquette and might cause trouble!"
This thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and his hand wavered.
"Hey, Anderson, just scare him a bit. Don’t go overboard!" The other youth who was initially watching the housekeeper turned around and whispered to his brother as the situation changed.
They had originally intended to just disgust Kael, not to directly spark a conflict. But if they got violent, the blame would undoubtedly be on them.
He couldn’t understand why his usually sinister brother, who preferred to harm people in the shadows, would suddenly do something so easily incriminating.
"Smack!!"
Luckily, Kael’s reaction was quick. He directly extended his hand and caught the swinging fist, frowning at the youth. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Had this person been whipped by the "Touch of Fools"? Why was he acting so brainlessly?
At this time, Kael did not notice that the High-level Charm symbol on the system panel was faintly flashing.
[High-level Charm]:
"Your aura and appearance have been greatly enhanced, with your aura inclining towards light and sanctity. This makes it easier to gain the favor of benevolent beings and to arouse the desire to corrupt you in malevolent beings.
When facing the Human Race (including sub-races) and the Elf Clan, your high-level charm effect will be elevated to Transcendent Charm LV1."
Of course, Kael did not notice the strange occurrences on his own body.
He merely caught the youth’s attack with a "smack" and turned his head, looking coldly at the youth, saying,
"The weak have no right to provoke the strong without cause. Didn’t Earl Campbell teach you that?"
Before the youth could react, Kael stepped forward, placing his hand on the youth’s body, a spread-out scroll between the youth and his palm.
The next moment, a tremendous force erupted from the scroll.
A powerful shock burst forth from the transcribed side, slamming into the youth.
The strange object around the youth’s neck flickered, releasing a barrier that spread out but was instantly shattered by the shock from the scroll, crushing the object and exposing the now defenseless youth to Kael’s gaze.
Kael did not continue to activate the divine arts inscribed on the scroll. At this distance, physical force worked just fine.
He directly delivered a heavy punch to the youth’s abdomen.
The punch was powerful, with his body reinforced by pure magic, causing the youth’s leather armor to dent. Then, with a swift uppercut, he sent the youth airborne, rendering him unconscious the moment he hit the ground.
Kael clapped his hands, as if dusting off dirt from them.
After dealing with the attacking youth, Kael stood before the fallen youth, smirking coldly as he mocked:
"You should be grateful this is Lion Heart Castle!"
Your next journey awaits at empire
Witnessing the situation spiral out of control, the housekeeper, bypassing the dazed youth who had blocked him, hurried to Kael’s side, bowing and saying:
"I apologize, Baron Helois, for failing to stop Earl Campbell’s young master. I am deeply sorry. However, your actions were too impulsive!"
But Kael looked sharply at the housekeeper and said:
"Do you think it would be more suitable for me to go public and announce that Earl Campbell’s child attacked a baron without reason, or to say this fool tripped and fell in the parlor?"
