Chapter 296: You are my friend!
Ignoring the loud murmuring of the onlookers, Kent helped Fatty to climb on Jabil and prepared to leave the Gambler's castle.
Suddenly Golden Tooth rushed forward and stopped Kent from leaving.
"See, young man, this matter happened inside the gambling syndicate palace. So, you must be investigated before going out. You and that fellow, you both need to stay…"
The golden tooth got interrupted by Kelly. Golden tooth thought of gaining Kan family favor by arresting Kent for the time being. But he never expected Kelly to interrupt him.
"The Gambler's syndicate has nothing to do in this matter. You stay out of it." Kelly uttered while standing up from the ground in a painful tone.
"But miss…" Master Golden tooth tried to intervene, but Kelly stopped him with a hand gesture.
Stretching her hands with a painful look, Kelly pointed her finger at Kent's face. "You… you dared to attack me without knowing my range. You will regret this for your entire life."
Kent stared at Kelly from top to bottom with a silly look. "Did you range stop my fist?"
Kelly fists clenched in anger as she saw the silly look on Kent's face. "It seems you don't know about my KAN family. Very well… Eat whatever you want to eat tonight. If you have any personal desires, finish them tonight. Enjoy the little time left for you. By tomorrow sun set, your head will hang onto this same castle where you stood."
Loud gasps fell in the central hall as many people stared at Kelly, who was giving a murderous look to Kent.
A cold chill ran behind Fatty's back as his hands began shaking in fear. He thought of falling to knees and apologized to the ladies to escape from calamity. But when he saw Kent's face, Fatty let go of his fear. A strange bravery filled his heart as he replied everything to his master.
Kent, who mounted on Fire Kirin, got down from his pet and walked towards Kelly in slow steps. Kelly took a step back in fear, but again stood on her spot with a serious face.
Kent moved very close to her body and almost leaned onto her face. After a deep look into her red eyes, Kent released a shallow sigh.
"See, little girl, I'm saying this for your own good. Leave this matter here and forget about me. If you tried to take revenge on me, you will lose everything—your family, your wealth, your fighters… everything. If you still insist, it's your fate. But even if you stop later, I won't stop."
A drop of sweat slipped from Kelly's forehead to cheek. For a second, she experienced real fear in her life. She didn't understand whether Kent is for real or he is bluffing.
But before Kelly reacted to Kent, her sister Julia stopped her act and stood with a loud cry. "Bastard, how dare you threaten my sister? I will fucking crush your balls…"
Suddenly Julia stopped talking as Kent pointed a finger at her. A streak of Nirvanic flames rushed in straight line and stopped before Julia's face. She stuck to the wall and stared at fire with wide, open eyes.
Kent continued to stare at Kelly with a serious look. As Kelly became dead silent, Kent turned around and mounted on his pet.
Before leaving Kent stared at Master Golden Tooth and all the onlookers. With a quick command, his two pets flew away from the castle.
After Kent left pin drop silence filled the central hall. Everyone was staring at Kelly and her sister like rape victims. Master Golden tooth sent and gestured for his servants to help Julia stand up. But Julia directly kicked the servants with an angry roar.
Kelly grabbed the wrist of her sister and flew away from that place on her pet wolf. Just as the two sisters left, loud commotion erupted as many people began making comments about what just happened.
The people who recorded everything from the start immediately posted in all the forums they know. Everyone was anticipating a great drama to erupted soon. Golden tooth hurriedly sent everyone out and closed the doors of the castle.
The news of Kan family sisters humiliating in the hands of a nameless young man spread like wildfire. The people who saw Kent during the nine cauldron city auction began posting details of Kent's identity.
In the next one hour, the background of Kent was revealed to everyone.
"God… He is from a low-grade sect. He really bluffed with Kelly."
"Haha… he really turned the two sisters into jokers before everyone. How laughable…!"
The comments flowed out from all sides, and people began making fun of two sisters who got scared by Kent's bluff. But many people began making counter comments by talking about Kent's future.
Meanwhile, Kent and Fatty descended inside the magic castle. In a depressed state, Fatty stared at the floor and apologized to Kent for whatever happened because of him.
"Master, I never expected things to turn like this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have called you. I'm really sorry, master."
Tears shimmered in Fatty's eyes, and he didn't dared to meet Kent's gaze.
Kent, who is placing the food bowl before his two pets, passed a spiritual fruit to both his pets and turned around towards Fatty. He took a step forward and placed his hand on Fatty's shoulder.
"You did a good thing by calling me in time. If something had happened to you, I could have killed those ladies on impulse. I don't know what happened there and how you got involved in this matter, all I know is that you are not the person to be blamed.
Even if you make a mistake, I will be there to protect you. Because you are my friend. Good-bad or right-wrong is not a matter here. Those ladies tried to cripple you, and they got what they deserve.
So, leave this matter to me and do what you are doing every day. Even if a massive army knocks on our door tonight, I know how to handle them."
Kent explained patiently and turned towards his pets. His hands caressed Kavi's neck with affection.
Fatty stood there in the same spot for a long time. He felt a rare kind of belief that night and gained an unknown amount of confidence in him and his master.
Rubbing his tears, Fatty stretched his hands and asked, "Master, I need one million mana-stones."
