Hail the King

Chapter 817: One Glance (Part One)

Fei’s eyelids twitched violently.

This was one of Fei’s habits, and it would occur subconsciously when the king was mad.

That’s right! Fei was enraged at the moment.

He could tell that the girl who got slapped was Grace Ellen, the talented saleswoman who led him upstairs. This red short-haired girl who was direct and kind like an elf left a good impression in Fei’s mind. However, before he could thank her, she got attacked, and her face swelled.

After making a path through the crowd, Fei and Kane walked to the center of the confrontation.

“Quickly move! The big figure is here! Do you see him? That white-haired old man? He is the manager of [Cauldron-Casting Shop], Solomon Kane. It is rumored that he is a Five-Star Mage. He isn’t someone who should be messed with. This time, we are in for a treat…”

“Hey, even Kane can’t do anything. This time, this old fox Glazer came prepared. He came in and ordered his men to smash the shop. It is clear that something else is happening. It seems like [Cauldron-Casting Shop] is going to lose a lot this time. Perhaps it has to close the store in Talon City.”

“Yeah. Do you see those sneering military officers behind Glazer? They are the henchmen of the Castellan! They are here to back Glazer! It seems like the Castellan is on the side of [Blade-Washing Shop].”

“What do you know? This old fox was cheating all the shoppers and doing shady stuff. Without consent from the Castellan, do you think he dares to do so? After all, he is only Castellan Henry’s dog. Ever since [Cauldron-Casting Shop] took [Blade-Washing Shop]’s business, the Castellan has been enduring it. Now, it seems like he is going to…”

“Huh? Who is that young man in white? Why can’t I see his face? Something is blocking my vision. However, it seems like he is of high status based on how Kane is treating him. Where is he from? Could he be [Cauldron-Casting Shop]’s reinforcement?”

“His is too young! What can he do? Even if a god is here, [Cauldron-Casting Shop] can’t flip the situation around.”

“Ah, such a pity. The saleswomen of [Cauldron-Casting Shop] are all young and beautiful. After [Cauldron-Casting Shop] closes, old fox Glazer probably won’t let them go and will ruin them one by one…”

The crowd murmured to themselves.

Among them, there were quite a few hooligans who had stayed in Talon City for many years, and they understood the entire situation. They could tell that old fox Glazer endured [Cauldron-Casting Shop] for so long and finally attacked, meaning that the latter was well prepared. Unless a miracle took place today, [Cauldron-Casting Shop] would be in big trouble.

-In the middle of the confrontation-

Four saleswomen were knocked to the ground, and they were surrounded by the warriors in red who were sneering.

Several shocking red handprints were on Grace Ellen’s white cheeks, and her face was swollen. Even though several streaks of blood slid down her face, she was still stubborn and opened her arms, protecting other girls behind her as she stared at the old and bald Glazer who was laughing arrogantly.

As soon as Fei arrived downstairs, he used the laws of nature to blur the space around his face. This way, no one below the realm of Sun-Class would be able to see his face. By doing this, Fei wouldn’t bring trouble to the [Letter Office]. After all, most people believed that Fei committed a crime against humanity. If someone discovered the connection between him and the [Letter Office], then all the proper businesses of the [Letter Office] would be smashed and robbed. Even though Fei was in another world different from Earth, it didn’t lack riots and protests.

After signaling Manager Kane to deal with the situation, Fei walked toward the girls who were surrounded by the warriors in red armor.

“Hey, stop! Who the f*ck are you? F–k off! Damn it! Ouch! Do you want to die?”

Three warriors saw Fei walking over and wanted to stop him by attacking him instinctively. However, as soon as they punched, they were knocked back and rolled on the ground. It seemed like this young man in white had a layer of bouncy protection around him.

Chapter 817: One Glance (Part Two)

The four girls who were crying behind Grace Ellen were shivering on the ground. Even though they were angry, they were all girls from ordinary families and never experienced such hard confrontations. Therefore, they were too terrified to do anything. Only Ellen who was brave suppressed her fear and protected her friends with her thin arms even though she was shivering herself.

Right now, the girls looked like fragile birds who were caught in a massive storm, making others feel bad for them.

“Does it still hurt?” Fei sighed and squatted down before helping these girls to get up one by one. When he saw the clear red handprints on Ellen’s face, he couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. The person who attacked her was merciless, and her smooth and cute face was almost deformed after being hit.

Ellen looked up at Fei with a blank expression.

After a few seconds, this girl finally came back to her senses after the laws of nature that were blurring Fei’s face toned down a little toward her. She saw Fei’s face and starry eyes, and Fei’s expression and tone were caring and gentle.

“Ah, it is you…” Ellen finally recognized Fei.

However, the few words she said pulled on the swollen parts of her face. The pain made her cry subconsciously, and she couldn’t speak anymore.

Fei signaled her and told her not to speak. Then, he placed his hands on this girl’s cheek, and a streak of golden energy appeared on his hands and glided by.

Ellen instantly gasped and looked at Fei in shock.

She clearly sensed a streak of cool and refreshing energy, and her cheeks that were numb from the pain suddenly returned to normal.

“Who hit you?” Fei asked after pulling back his hands.

“Ah… you… you… It is ok, you need to go. What is happening here isn’t relevant to you.” As if she suddenly thought of something, Ellen quickly tried to get Fei to leave. She was smart and knew that this was a huge trouble for [Cauldron-Casting Shop]. Since that old fox Glazer decided to smash the shop in daylight, then he was prepared. It was hard to say if [Cauldron-Casting Shop] could last through this, so she didn’t Fei to get involved and be punished.

Of course, Fei knew what was happening in this girl’s mind. After sighing in his mind, he smiled and asked in his gentle voice, “It is ok; don’t be scared. You just have to tell me who hit you.”

“It is me! What? Kid, do you want to be a hero and save the beauties? You won’t even know how you are going to die!” A loud voice sounded from the side.

Those warriors in red rolled on the ground and finally got up, and they quickly gathered around a young man who was in a fancy red silk robe.

This young man was handsome, but his aquiline nose didn’t fit his other facial features and destroyed his presence. Also, his small eyes made others feel like he was vicious and cunning.

However, he wasn’t weak. A surge of energy flowed inside his body, and it seemed like he was at least a Five-Star Warrior.

The person who just spoke was this young man.

“It was him?” Fei asked Ellen.

This elf-like girl looked at Fei earnestly. Then, as if she understood something, she nodded firmly.

“Hahaha! Yuck! I already told you that it was me! Kid, where are you from? Do you want to protect a dirty maid-like girl? Hahaha! I think you are seeking death! Hahaha! I will give you an opportunity! Use your most powerful strike! Let me see how you… Ah!… You?”

Just as this young man was taunting Fei, he suddenly saw that his opponent turned around and stared at him. Even though that young man in white didn’t attack, a vast amount of energy rushed over and forced all the words that he was about to say back into his stomach. Before he could use his Five-Star earth-elemental warrior energy which brought him pride, his legs turned to jelly, and he kneeled onto the ground.

Then, a series of crackling noises sounded from his knees as if something broke.

A series of gasped sounded from the crowd.

“You… You… Who are you?” This young man with the aquiline nose propped himself up from the ground with his arms, and he unleashed all his energy and was barely able to look up at Fei.

“How powerful is he? Just one glance made me kneel, and I can’t even fight back as a Five-Star Warrior,” he thought to himself.

Too powerful!

Master!

Absolute Master!

At this moment, all the arrogance in this young man’s head disappeared, and the only emotion that he could feel was fear. He knew that he ran into one of those unparalleled masters who were rarely seen on the continent.
