Chapter 821: Chapter 531: Sudden Incident on the Street_2
As he finished speaking, the Thin Viscount cast another envious and angry glance at Leo Ray.
It should be known that in the vast Viennas City, although Kelsey had a fiery temper and would throw a punch if she didn’t like what was said, her exquisite and fair face, her identity as the guild’s president’s daughter, and her background from the Royal Sanders Family undoubtedly made her a goddess-level figure in many people’s eyes, including the Thin Viscount.
Before this, the Thin Viscount had also mustered up the courage to attempt a pursuit, but the result was that he was sent flying more than ten meters away, not only lying at home for three days but also sitting in a wheelchair for half a month.
Therefore, seeing Kelsey stand up for Leo Ray, the Thin Viscount’s heart was naturally mixed with various feelings and very unpleasant.
At this moment, the Thin Viscount rolled his eyes, quickly extended his neck, and shouted, “Under everyone’s watchful eyes, disrespecting the City Lord, none of these people can escape today! Especially that leading kid!”
Without further ado, as long as he wasn’t a match for the City Lord, attracting him over would surely make the youngster unable to walk away unscathed!
Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on the face of the Thin Viscount.
As expected, accompanied by the sound of dense hoofbeats, under the escort of a middle team of silver-armored cavalry, Asher and old Calvin had already turned the corner at the end of the street and appeared in everyone’s line of sight.
“Everyone, stop for this City Lord!”
Noticing the commotion in the crowd ahead, a puzzled and exhausted Asher rode up to the direction of Leo Ray under the escort of the cavalry.
Observing this scene, while bowing their heads in greeting, the faces of the surrounding onlookers either showed schadenfreude or sympathy.
It seemed that aside from the spicy Kelsey, this team was in for trouble! After all, showing disrespect to the City Lord was no small crime.
And the expression on the Thin Viscount’s face became even more intense with laughter, as long as he could see the kid fall into misfortune, his goal would be achieved!
Thinking of this, the Thin Viscount quickly walked up to the front of the crowd, glancing disdainfully at the still calm-looking Leo Ray.
At this time, accompanied by the slow sound of horses’ hooves, Asher’s convoy had just arrived nearby.
However, what followed caught everyone present by surprise.
“City Lord, that kid…”
The Thin Viscount went straight to Asher, who was mounted on a tall horse, and just began his tattletale.
Asher, who had a look of joy on his face as he dismounted, stepped on the Thin Viscount, causing him to fall face-first into the mud. Asher then came directly to Leo Ray without even glancing at the Thin Viscount, his face full of excitement, “Mr. Christopher, coming to Viennas City without notifying me, the City Lord, isn’t that a bit too distant?”
Without a doubt, although Leo Ray was wearing an Illusion Cloak, to Asher, who was a Tier 4 Powerhouse, he could naturally detect the truth as long as he focused his mind.
Most importantly, Leo Ray’s terrifying strength displayed in the Titan Underground Temple was still fresh in Asher’s memory.
If he could befriend such a powerful and unfathomable young man, it would naturally be a win-win situation for him!
On the other side, seeing the usually stern and clear-cut City Lord acting so enthusiastically toward the disrespectful young man, and even bowing and nodding his head, including the just now embarrassed Thin Viscount, the heavily makeup-covered young woman beside him, and the surrounding civilians all showed stunned expressions.
What kind of terrifying background did that young man have to make the respected Coldflame Marquis and a Tier 4 Powerhouse, the City Lord, put on such a face?!
Among them, the beautiful young woman, with a flutter of her elongated, slender eyelashes, first glanced at the Thin Viscount in embarassment, then at Leo Ray, whom the City Lord was treating courteously. Her heart was instantly overwhelmed with waves.
It had to be said that this low-key, luxurious, and cultured young man was her true Prince Charming in her heart!
However, when she saw Kelsey beside Leo Ray, she couldn’t help but sigh softly, as someone like her with just a pretty face was undoubtedly unworthy even to get close to that young man.
After the initial surprise, City Lord Asher coughed lightly, obviously noticing his loss of composure in public.
However, just as he was about to invite Leo Ray to enter the City Lord Mansion with renewed spirit, something happened.But he found the burly Taylor and Ariel, who was hugging her arms.
“What… Five… Two… Pounds?!”
In an instant, City Lord Asher’s slightly plump face with a trace of determination showed an astonished expression, and he was petrified on the spot.
And he became the most dumbfounded person present.
It should be known that at the time of the Titan Underground Ruins, it was Red Night who took action, while Taylor was hidden under an Invisibility Cloak for the entire time.
As such, when Asher saw Taylor, who first made a strong move at the Auction, he was now on the left and right, standing behind Leo Ray with Red Night, his heart was shaken to its core.
Moreover, standing behind Leo Ray was the indifferent Princess Ariel, which only made Asher even more astonished and unable to free himself.
“Alright, Your Excellency City Lord, this is not the place to talk, let’s move and talk elsewhere.”
Leo Ray smiled slightly and said to Asher.
It happened that Leo Ray wanted to find an opportunity to probe Asher’s details. Since he had this opportunity, he naturally had to seize it well.
And, if it was really confirmed that Asher had already joined a prince, Leo Ray could not rule out the possibility of directly killing him.
Immediately after, Leo Ray pointed his finger at the not-too-distant Sanders’ Trading Conference.
“Everything is up to Mr. Christopher!”
After paying a slight respect to Ariel, Asher, who had somewhat returned to his senses, nodded repeatedly and responded.
Just like that, under the incredulous gazes of the people around them.
Asher first ordered old Calvin and the escort cavalry to wait at the entrance of Sanders’ Trading Conference, and then followed behind Leo Ray and Ariel Watson, heading towards Sanders’ Trading Conference.
In no time, Leo Ray and his group, along with City Lord Asher, returned to the familiar Sanders Trading Conference luxury reception room.
As soon as he entered the room and stood still, looking at Leo Ray, Taylor, Red Night, and Ariel, although Asher had many questions, he still knelt down on one knee, lowering his head deeply to Ariel.
Then, he said excitedly, “Your humble servant, Asher Windchaser, pays respects to Princess Ariel!”
“Get up, you have done well in managing Viennas City.”
On the other side, Ariel slightly nodded and raised her hand gently.
“Thank you, Princess, I never thought I would be able to see your divine presence again after more than a decade. As a servant, I am really fortunate in all my three lives!”
After standing up, Asher still maintained his bowing posture and said, “I remember the last time I saw your Highness so closely, your Highness was still a lively and lovely little girl!”
“Did I meet you at close range before?”
Hearing this, Ariel couldn’t help but frown slightly.
Although she had heard that the Lord of Viennas City had served as a court mage for a while in the Royal Capital, she had always stayed in the depths of the royal castle when she was a child.
Even when going out to play, there were royal passages and exclusive imperial gardens, and she would hardly go anywhere else in the palace.
As a result, ordinary court mages could hardly see her except for her personal attendants and the Royal Guard.
Even if she made an appearance at a ceremony, she wouldn’t let anyone get so close to her.
In short, Ariel had obviously no impression of the Lord of Viennas City in front of her.
“Your Highness, it’s normal that you don’t remember your humble servants…”
On the other side, Asher still maintained his bowing posture and began to describe the causes and consequences of the events back then.
