Chapter 87 - You Dare To Hit Me ?!
No one is aware that Desmond's strength is almost equivalent to the power of 2nd Swordsman. Before Desmond secretly activated the body enchantment in his hand twice.
But due to the last words of the injured guard, it made everyone forget to realize this fact. Their gazes now turned to Desmond, staring at him with murderous intent.
Immediately the six guards who surrounded Desmond retreated as their captain gave orders. Desmond saw this calmly; he neither attacked nor moved from his place.
* rumble * * rumble *
Right after the six guards retreated, the layer of the floor beneath Desmond turned to clay, which covered Desmond's legs and immediately hardened, preventing him from escaping.
Not only that, but the other floors around Desmond also turned into clay and suddenly grew taller to form a pillar. And from one of the pillar parts, earth resembled a chain formed, immediately tied Desmond's left hand.
* click * * click *
Besides, not only did the earth chain tie his left hand, another earth chain formed from the pillar and binding Desmond's neck that made him choke a little.
His left hand, which had been tightly closed with his body, was forced to be stretched out by the pillar. When viewed from the outside, each of Desmond's limbs had already been frozen, making it look like the capture of a wild beast instead human.
"Amazing… do you guys think you can be free after this?"
Desmond, who was currently in an embarrassing position, laughed coldly as he looked one by one at the guards who caught him, especially the captain.
The captain snorted.
"So what? We have reasons and valid evidence to arrest you, mister. "
The captain ordered some of his subordinates to guard Desmond's body while calling his other subordinates to check on the auction staff and young master Gibson.
Hehehe, after this, I will definitely get a very generous reward, thought the captain as he approached Gibson, who was currently being cared for by the guards and servant.
At first, the captain just wanted to warn Desmond and kick him out of the auction for hurting one of the VIP guests.
Apart from that, he was also the one responsible for asking Desmond for compensation. But the moment he saw the face of the VIP that Desmond had injured, the guard immediately changed his tactics.
So what? You have injured one of the future grandmaster Grimm's son's friends, what can you do? Hahaha, thought the captain.
He did not care at all about his subordinates who died because he had just been appointed to be a captain. But it was a different story with the other guards; he cleverly provoked anger from his subordinates.
" Young master…. Young master…. "While pretending to care for Gibson, he turned to one of the wizards." Hey you, come here ... "
The captain calling one of the wizards, who was silent, looking at him from a distance while the other two wizards were busy holding Desmond's body.
"Humph ..."
Even though the one who called him was the captain, they as wizards also had their own pride. The captain only 1st class swordsman who makes the wizard reluctant to comply.
Usually, only 2nd class swordsman can become a captain and command 1st class wizard (apprentice). Still, because the captain in front of him uses the 'connection' from his family, he can immediately become captain even though he is still classified as 1st class.
While one apprentice obeyed the captain's orders, the other apprentices were disgruntled by the order 'to restrain Desmond's body.'
Since they are part of the auction guard, the title or command system is not the same as the royal army; therefore, using 'connections' is very common in any large organization such as auctions or guilds.
…
Meanwhile, the staff sitting on the ground due to Desmond's gaze became aware after seeing Desmond's body being caught by the guards.
"Excuse me ... but that ..."
Before she could speak, a guard came to help her up.
"Miss, are you okay?"
The guard grabbed the auction staff's shoulder to help her up.
After feeling that her legs were no longer shaking, the staff took a breath to calm her down.
"Excuse me, sir, actually it's not that mister fault over there ..."
The staff then told the full story of the incident, from Gibson, who first attacked Desmond, to Desmond, who defended himself.
Hearing this, the guard's face turned pale, and also, his body trembled.
"ar…e. w…e we..re wrong?"
He saw the staff nodded very hard.
"Okay, wait a minute."
The guard turned around and walked towards his captain, who was panicking to check the condition of the young master in front of him. When the staff from the auction saw the guard, she felt sorry for him and them.
The guard walked unbalanced as if he could fall at any moment if he tripped over a rock, his whole body also trembling, while his head bent down.
How could they not? They already attacked the other VIP guests without asking the exact situation? Surely they will be punished, thought the staff. She waited for her manager to come over the matter.
* thump *
Right on her estimate, a door opened violently from afar. A middle-aged man was running from afar with blood-red eyes.
After arriving in front of the scene, the middle-aged man saw the conditions, and finally, his gaze was fixed on Desmond.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING ?! RELEASE YOUNG MASTER THERE! "
That middle-aged man was the presenter who handled Desmond's belongings. He shouted furiously at the surrounding guards.
"WHAT ?! QUICKLY CANCEL THE SPELL! "
The presenter shouted once again; he wondered since when his subordinates did not immediately obey his orders but instead saw the captain.
"YES, SIR!"
Simultaneously the guards, including the wizard, also obeyed his orders. This time the wizard didn't dare to doubt the presenter's orders because they knew that the presenter had higher authority than the captain.
Meanwhile, when the captain looking at this, he dumbfounded.
I'm the captain here, and you, uncle is just the presenter. Dare to order me ?! thought the captain.
It was true that he was appointed yesterday by one of the 'owners' of this auction, but the presenter in front of him was very presumptuous to command a 'captain' and strangely his subordinates also complied?
This made the captain very angry. He stood up and walked over to the presenter.
* slap *
"Who are you bastard ?! Dare to go against my orders! "
The captain's slapping sound was so loud that it made the people around him close their eyes, unable to see this.
* slap *
But then they heard another louder slap sound that blew out the dust that was around him.
They opened their eyes only to see the captain was thrown against one of the glass shelves containing the auction items.
This caused dust to cover their sight.
"I accepted you because of my friend's request, but who would have thought that on the first day you had caused so much trouble."
The presenter's voice from behind the dust showed that the presenter was very healthy; there were no marks of slaps or injuries. Instead, the captain's face was crushed as if his face had been crushed by a giant rock.
Don't forget the fact that the captain is the 1st Swordsman! But right now, a 1st swordsman seemed to be thrown off easily with a slap!
Instantly they all remembered Desmond's incident doing the same to the other guards, this fact stunned them, including Desmond himself!
Apart from the presenter's strength, the presenter also had time to say 'accept' and 'connection.' Desmond's mind immediately linked him with the auction owner!
Who would have thought the owner of this auction had such a strange hobby? Thought Desmond as he patted his shirt.
"Don't come back here again, or I won't hesitate to kill you!"
The presenter then instructed his guards to throw the captain's body into a ditch.
