Chapter 441 Forcing a king to obey?
Two weeks later…
An old woman and a young, blue-haired girl in purple dresses arrived at the gates of the royal capital of the Green Leaf kingdom.
“Grandma, can we really find aunt Hannah’s family here?” The young girl asked.
The old lady looked at the giant city in front of her and shook her head. “I’m not sure, but we will surely find about their whereabouts. After that, we only need to go there and take back our family’s heirloom.”
The young girl nodded and then said annoyedly, “If grandma had recovered completely, we could force this kingdom’s king to do our bidding, but now, sigh. We have to do everything ourselves.”
“You little girl, you shouldn’t always think like that. Although I’m strong, who can say for sure there isn’t some old geezer hiding here?” The old woman said in a slightly reproachful tone.
Just then, a ridiculing voice mixed with some anger resounded from behind them, “So, you mean if there isn’t any ‘old geezer’ hiding here, you can force the king to obey you, huh? How about you show me how powerful you are?”
Hearing the voice, the old woman sighed. She didn’t want any trouble, but it seems her casually spoken words had hurt someone’s sentiments and things might become troublesome.
Of course, she wasn’t afraid of anyone from this tiny kingdom even if she had only recovered 30% of her peak strength, but if their pursuers found out that they were here, things would turn ugly for them.
Sighing, she turned around and saw a thirty or so old man in white embroidered clothes walking in their direction with some armored people following him. His brows were raised and his lips were curled into a mocking sneer.
“Young man, I apologise for speaking so freely. I hope you don’t take it to your heart.” The old lady said calmly, trying to end the matter.
However, it seemed the man wasn’t willing to do it as he laughed loudly, attracting more people’s attention to them. “Hahaha… what old hag? Weren’t you boasting that you could force our king to obey you? What happened now? Got scared?”
Hearing this, the armored people behind him surrounded the old lady and the girl while the passers-by started murmuring amongst them.
“What? That old woman really said something so disrespectful?”
“She must have, or why would someone from the royal family would get angry at someone without reason?”
“If that’s true, she should be punished severely.”
“Why bother? Just kill her and be done with it.”
“Sigh! Because of the old woman’s words, not only would she be crippled or die, the beautiful young girl would also suffer. What a tragedy!”
…
Hearing the man’s mocking words and the crowd’s murmurs, the girl beside the old woman became angry. Taking a step forward, she shouted, “Scared? Are you kidding us? What worm are you? Why would we be scared of you? If you don’t want to die, apologise to my grandma right now, since you won’t get a chance later.”
“Little Gene, sigh…” The old woman sighed and pulled her back. Now she was sure this matter won’t end peacefully.
Boom!
Just as she expected, the man’s face turned completely dark, and he released his aura with full force. The aura of a mid-stage four-star mage caused the people in his surroundings to feel suffocated.
Immediately after, his mana surged around him and conjured many green, triangular petals in the air. All of them were glowing faintly and radiated a very sharp aura. From one glance, one could see how lethal the green petals were.
“Woah! I didn’t believe before but this young man in white is really from the royal family. As expected, not only is his green leaf bloodline overpowered, he is also very powerful. A middle-stage four-star mage at the age of just 30 years. It’s amazing.”
“Of course it is. If the royal family didn’t have such talent, how could it have maintained its position as the royal family? You know the other families are just waiting for their strength to decline so they could rule the kingdom.”
“Shhh! Keep it down if you don’t want to die.” 𝗈𝑣𝐿xt.𝔠𝒐𝑀
“However, isn’t it irresponsible of him to use such a strong attack in a public place? What if it also killed common people?”
…
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The armored warriors exchanged glances before their mana surged out. They didn’t attack the old lady and little Gene but created a green barrier around them, so the man’s attack wouldn’t accidently kill others.
“What did you just say?” The man asked through gritted teeth as he glared at Little Gene with murderous gaze.
“Mm?” The old lady’s blue eyes turned cold when she noticed his killing intent and released her aura toward him.
Boom!
Bang!
Thud!
As her aura exploded out of her and hit the man, he was thrown away like a ragdoll, breaking the green barrier, and fell heavily to the ground.
“What!?” Everyone was flabbergasted by this scene. They couldn’t believe their eyes for a while.
“Did… did I see that right? She defeated a four-star mage just by her aura?”
“Yeah. That seems to be the case.”
…
The man in question was lying on the crater he formed upon crashing. His eyes were opened wide in disbelief as he muttered. “A… an emperor rank mage?”
At this moment, he forgot everything completely. He wasn’t feeling embarrassed that he was beaten down like a dog in one move, neither he was thinking of taking revenge. The only thought in his mind right now was, ‘I’m dead!’
He wasn’t wrong to think that because an emperor ranked mage won’t think twice before killing him, even if he belonged to the Green Leaf kingdom’s royal family. Moreover, the royal family wouldn’t dare to say anything about it. Forget that, they would’ve to do everything to appease her so she wouldn’t destroy their family.
‘I’m an idiot. Couldn’t have I just ended the matter when she apologised? Damn it!’ He cursed himself for overestimating himself.
Just then, he heard a mocking voice, “Do you believe now my grandma can kill you or even force your lousy king to obey her?”
