Chapter 573: Death Duel

Translator: Simple MTL  Editor: Simple MTL

“It’s almost time. Mr. Su can watch a wonderful performance now.”

Gawain IV looked at the time and then invited Su Han.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

One side wanted to eliminate the domestic opposition, and the other side wanted to get more benefits from the coup.

Who wouldn’t like to watch this conflict?

At this moment, not far from the city gate of Mithril City.

“It’s almost time, James. We’re ready to go.”

After sensing the scheduled time, Silas started to talk to James, the black-robed man next to him.

“Mm, don’t worry. My men are all hidden among your subordinates. They’ll listen to your orders for the time being. I want to hide in the dark and keep an eye on someone.”

James nodded as well.

“That’s good too.”

“Let’s go and attack Mithril City with me to wash away our shame.”

Silas waved his arm and took the lead to head towards the gate of Mithril City.

At the junction of Knoxus and Demacia.

“Aren’t we going to act?” Delaeus asked Lefran on the main seat.

Some sentries who had entered Demacia had discovered this information and reported it.

Logically speaking, they should have taken advantage of the chaos to attack.

However, Lefran ordered them to stay where they were for the time being. They were not allowed to act without her orders.

“No rush. They haven’t started fighting yet. When they’re done fighting and both sides are injured, we can act,” Lefran said unhurriedly.

“I understand.”

Delaeus nodded and walked out directly.

“That man called Su Han is really interesting.”

Thinking of the information in the intelligence report, Lefran’s lips curled into a charming smile.

However, no one could see it.

Judgement Church.

It was almost 10 o’clock.

The nobles of Mithril City had almost arrived.

The Cook family and the Laurent family were also here.

The wedding should have been held normally.

All the guests were puzzled.

Clare, who was standing in the middle of the church, was embarrassed.

Just when he was about to ask the guards to hurry Fiona, a cry of surprise came from the front.

“The bride is here!”

The guests also looked towards the church entrance. They all wanted to see what this famous woman looked like in a wedding dress.

But the moment they saw Fiona…

Clare was stunned!

The Cook family members were stunned!

All the guests were also stunned!

She was not wearing a wedding dress at the wedding. Instead, she was wearing battle clothes.

Everyone understood this meaning.

For a moment, all the guests looked at the ‘couple’ with a playful smile.

Looking at Fiona who walked in front of her, Clare’s face was full of anger.

“What do you mean by this, Fiona?

You’re still not willing to wear a wedding dress at a time like this?”

“Heh, you don’t deserve to let me wear a wedding dress, you insolent beast,” Fiona berated.

“You…”

Clare was about to fly into a rage when a pair of hands pressed directly on his shoulders, making him unable to move.

“Father, they…”

“Stand down!”

Seeing that it was her father, Clare wanted to say something, but he gritted his teeth and retreated.

Tuzman took a step forward and coldly glanced at Fiona, who was standing there silently.

He then turned towards the Laurent family’s patriarch, German.

“German, you were the one who begged our Cook family to take care of your family. I only agreed because of our many years of relationship.”

“I admire Fiona very much, so I agreed that she wouldn’t go to the rehearsal. But what’s the meaning of this? Do you want to make our Cook family lose face in front of all the families in Mithril City?”

Tuzman was very angry.

He didn’t expect that the Laurent family would dare to do this.

Did they lose face?

Weren’t they afraid of the consequences of offending the Cook family?

“Yeah, if that’s the case, the Laurent family really doesn’t make sense.”

“Heh, no wonder the family has been defeated. They really deserve it.”

“Today is interesting. The wedding won’t be successful. Instead, they’ve made enemies. I’m looking forward to it!”

After hearing Tuzman’s words, the group of guests began to discuss.

Although they were somewhat impressed that they dared to do this, they still didn’t understand.

If they didn’t want to form a marriage alliance, they should have said it earlier. Why did they have to say it today?

If they had said it earlier, they wouldn’t have lost so much face after discussing it in private.

“That’s right, that was my plan previously. However, don’t think that I don’t know your family’s thoughts. Don’t you want to devour our family later on?”

Since they had fallen out, German wouldn’t be polite anymore. He directly exposed Tuzman’s ugly face.

As expected, after hearing German’s words, many clan leaders began to question him.

Because this was indeed possible.

A marriage between a powerful family and a weak family, no matter how one thought about it, would be problematic.

At first, many people thought that it was because Clare had taken a fancy to Fiona, so German agreed.

They didn’t expect that the real reason was actually the Cook family wanting to devour the Laurent family.

Although the Laurent family had declined, their ancestors had been rich.

No one knew what kind of background their family had.

“So it’s like this. Tuzman really has a good idea.”

“Yeah, I thought it was because he took a fancy to Fiona? I didn’t expect it to be like this.”

“If the marriage is one family devouring the other family, then what’s the point of the marriage? Just give it to the other side.”

Those small families with some background started to feel insecure, afraid that they would encounter such a situation.

Tuzman’s face turned black.

He didn’t expect German to talk about this in public.

Although this was the truth, and everyone knew it, you can’t say it out loud.

Some things, once exposed to the sun, would have a completely different meaning.

It seemed that the other party was really planning to shed all pretense of cordiality.

But where was the other party’s confidence?

Regarding this point, Tuzman was really puzzled.

If you had such confidence, why did you still come to me for a marriage alliance? Why didn’t you say so earlier?

“So you’re preparing to break off the marriage?” Tuzman said coldly.

“Yes, I’m unwilling to accept the fate of my marriage alliance, and I can’t accept myself marrying a piece of trash like Clare.”

Fiona’s voice was very soft, but her eyes were filled with determination.

Seeing this scene, the entire place was in an uproar.

They didn’t expect things to develop to this stage.

“Hehe, I was kind enough to save your family, but you think I’m a wolf with wild ambitions. It’s obvious that you don’t know how to repay me. If that’s the case, then let’s have a death duel!”

“I, Tuzman, represent the Cook family and initiate a death duel with the Laurent family!”

“Under the witness of the Angel of Judgement, Kyle, the humiliation the Cook family suffered today needs to be washed away with the blood of the Laurent family!”

Clang!

A longsword was pulled out by Tuzman.. It was best to be prepared for battle.
