Chapter 220: Subversion (2)
The auctioneer’s words were not to be trusted.
However, the words of Polvert, the Commander of the Royal Capital Guards, were something they had to believe.
This was because the man was not just fierce in appearance.
He was equally fierce when killing people.
As the matter was drawing to a close, the auctioneer also breathed a sigh of relief, his face regaining its kind and amiable smile.
“Now that the Commander has vouched for the auction house, I believe everyone has no further doubts.”
“Then, this concludes our auction. Thank you all for attending. Our next auction will be held at the same time next month, where we will continue to prepare high-quality items for you.”
Just as everything seemed to be settled.
A terrifying explosion, accompanied by the screams of the female attendants, suddenly erupted from the entrance of the auction house.
“What happened?”
Everyone’s expressions changed.
Polvert reacted faster.
He had already gripped his door-wide greatsword and charged towards the entrance of the auction house.
At the entrance of the auction house, Nobody Does Human Things (M) stood at the very back, holding a long spear.
In front of him, a group of players were desperately pushing three cages and fleeing. They didn’t even care that the female slaves in the cages were being tossed around.
“Baron Quainite, what is the meaning of this?”
Polvert looked at the chaotic entrance of the auction house, his fierce gaze fixed on Nobody Does Human Things (M).
“What do I mean?”
Nobody Does Human Things (M) sneered coldly and retorted:
“I want to ask what the auction house means! I bought something, why can’t I take it with me? Are you planning to take the money and then rob and murder me?!”
The words of Baron Quainite caused the expressions of the onlookers to change dramatically, and they looked questioningly at the auction house’s guards and personnel.
“You’re talking nonsense!”
A guard stepped forward.
“You clearly didn’t pay a single gold coin, yet you wanted to leave with the cages. When we tried to stop you, you commanded your knights to attack!”
“I didn’t pay.”
Nobody Does Human Things (M) shrugged his shoulders and then added:
“Didn’t I say? My father will pay for it after he returns from the Emerald Frontier, so why are you so anxious? As the Son of the North Wind, would I be short of such a small amount of gold coins for you?!”
The people around finally understood.
And they were also stunned by the despicable face of Baron Quainite.
The North Wind Duke, Ongel Quainite, was famously an honorable noble and exceptionally upright and simple in his lifestyle.
He absolutely could not afford to fork out thirty thousand gold coins for his scoundrel of a son.
This Baron Quainite was simply trying to default on his debt.
And he was also dumping the blame onto his father, the North Wind Duke.
The powers behind the auction house would also find it difficult to cause trouble for the North Wind Duke.
After all, as an indispensable veteran general stationed at the Emerald Frontier, the North Wind Duke could be said to be sacrificing for the safety of all of Karari.
“I apologize, Your Excellency, our auction house has never had a rule of credit. You can temporarily store your goods here, and when you have saved enough money, you can come back to redeem them.”
The auction house manager had spoken very courteously, but the baron in front of him did not yield. Instead, he became even more arrogant.
“I intend to take this shipment with me today. I am not discussing with you; I am commanding you. If you insist on obstructing me, do not blame my knights for launching an attack on you.”
“This time, I will not hold back.”
Baron Quainite retorted, and his knights were already pushing the three cages away. For a moment, no one except Commander Polvert could stop them.
“Baron, I admire your ruthlessness, but I never expected that such a heroic figure as the North Wind Duke would have such a useless son like you.”
“Since you are so stubborn, do not blame me for educating you in place of your father.”
Polvert held his greatsword horizontally in front of his chest. The heavy greatsword’s blade struck the ground, instantly sinking half a meter. The surrounding floor tiles also cracked, indicating how heavy the sword was.
Buying time was precisely Nobody Does Human Things (M)’s mission.
At this moment, the Sky Knight was not pursuing the female slaves but instead wanted to spar with him and teach him a lesson. This was exactly what he wanted.
He wanted to see what the gap was between him and the Sky Knight.
“Come on, let’s see if you’re just making a fuss over nothing~”
Nobody Does Human Things (M) pointed his longsword diagonally, assuming an attacking stance.
Although he only knew spear techniques, he could use a longsword as a spear. Besides, his truly useful spear was hidden in his armor.
“Hmph!”
Polvert knew he was ugly, but he didn’t like people constantly commenting on his appearance, especially being insulted so directly by someone like Quainite.
At this moment, he truly harbored killing intent.
For the sake of the North Wind Duke, he would not kill Quainite.
However, crippling Quainite was entirely possible.
The Qi of a Sky Knight rank permeated his entire body.
Polvert charged towards Baron Quainite like a monstrous beast.
He dragged his greatsword behind him, cutting through the hard ground.
His momentum was majestic and unstoppable.
The auction house manager had originally wanted to tell them not to fight there, as if the street were destroyed, he would have to pay for repairs. He couldn’t possibly ask the Commander for money.
He also couldn’t afford to offend the North Wind Duke.
But now, with the two of them clearly worked up, he was neither able to persuade nor not persuade. He simply led the auction house subordinates and retreated back into the auction house.
He didn’t want those female slaves anymore.
Let them fight.
Just don’t tear down his auction house.
Outside the auction house.
Nobody Does Human Things (M) engaged Polvert multiple times, relying on his high agility.
Polvert, with his tough skin, was unharmed.
However, Nobody Does Human Things (M) had already been injured by the impact of the great strength.
Polvert was similar to the King of Winter.
They both followed the path of a berserker. However, the King of Winter was much more agile than Polvert. Polvert, on the other hand, relied solely on brute force and reckless charges.
The gap in their strength was still too great.
If he hadn’t experienced fighting the berserker King of Winter several times in dungeons, he might not have been able to withstand even one blow from Polvert.
However, this was enough.
Those players had successfully evacuated with the female slaves.
And at the Karari arena, a wave of chaos had also erupted. All the female slaves were rescued, and the player team had already rendezvoused underground.
They were planning to blow up the tunnel.
“Polvert, you are indeed very strong.”
“But, how powerful is my North Wind family? How dare a hideous and poor piece of trash like you try to educate me?”
Nobody Does Human Things (M) opened his mouth and spewed out a string of insults, while secretly taking out his small firearm.
“What kind of trash are you? Can your annual salary even buy one Dragon Blood Horse?”
Polvert’s face grew darker and darker.
It was obvious that he had been completely enraged. Just as this happened, Nobody Does Human Things (M) pulled the trigger on Polvert.
“Bang—”
A gunshot, and the buckshot hit Polvert’s armor and exposed strong physique.
These bullets had limited destructive power at a distance, at most being able to penetrate Qi defenses. They only caused a stinging pain when hitting the skin.
Other than that, they had no effect.
But at this moment.
These bullets, despite the stinging pain, became the last straw that broke Polvert’s nerves.
He could no longer control his rage.
In an instant, he leaped and appeared in front of Baron Quainite. His longsword suddenly swung out. At this moment, he still had some reason left.
The longsword would only sever Baron Quainite’s legs, not take his life.
However, to his surprise.
Baron Quainite not only did not evade but instead flashed a strange smile and squatted down.
His lips moved:
“Bye-bye. ~”
“Boom—” A dull, heavy sound.
Baron Quainite was crushed into a meatloaf by the greatsword.
The perpetrator, Polvert, stood there dumbfounded.
He held the greatsword in his hand.
Looking at the unrecognizable “Baron Quainite” that even a god couldn’t save, he was at a loss.
