Chapter 232 Will you hate me?

Chapter 232 Will you hate me?

The atmosphere became extremely tense and reeked of gunpowder. With just one spark, this place would completely explode.

"Do you think this useless bunch will be able to stop me?" Alec smiled contemptuously.

The old man frowned, and his cold voice rang out: "An elder like me may not be too strong as my talent is not good, but... I have a brain smart enough to control the family."

"I may not be able to stop you, but the knights here can."

"Did you just say they were useless? Hahahaha... then you should try defeating them. If you defeat all of these knights, I will let you leave."

"Huh! I'm afraid that by the time I do that, you won't keep your promise."

"You..." The old man shouted angrily: "Good, very good. Since you think you are a genius, then I will tell you one thing..."

"If a genius is too arrogant, the outcome will not be too good."

"The outcome... I'm afraid that even when you die, you won't be able to see it." Alec said smiling.

"Kill him!" The old man couldn't control himself anymore and shouted.

Alec didn't say anything more; he swung his sword, and a stream of black flames shot out around him.

The crowd was startled and backed away. Although they were indeed knights of the Montague family, their class was not high.

Most of them became knights for this family to enjoy some benefits and have more resources for cultivating.

However, they also need a wall big and hard enough to lean against. After all, living in this world filled with magic and violence, if they didn't have any power or special strength, they would definitely be crushed like useless rocks.

Alec looked around, loudly and contemptuously said: "These useless people can't even resist my fire, so do you think they can defeat me?"

Whoosh!

The sound of wind whistled as five arrows shot at Alec in five different directions, making him frown.

However, he only frowned and was not afraid. He raised his sword, slashing out a ring of fire.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The circle of fire spread around, quickly burning the arrows on their way, turning them into a pile of ash and disintegrating into the air.

The old man frowned and shouted: "Useless things, my family raised you and provided you with benefits and resources, but in the end, when you are needed, you don't prove your worth."

"Tell me... Why am I providing you with resources?"

"Hahaha... okay, you should privately discuss your family's personal matters." Alec smiled contemptuously: "You stupid knights are not even as good as a finger of mine."

"You... Huh! If these knights are useless, then I still have..."

"Enough!" Suddenly, Mardian shouted, interrupting the old man's words.

"Mardian?!" The old man frowned and said: "What do you mean?"

Mardian glanced at the old man and said softly: "Second Elder, I will handle this matter, you don't need to interfere."

"Why can't I interfere? I am the second elder; everything in the family needs to be handled through me and the other?elders." The second elder said angrily.

"Ah! So..." Mardian suddenly frowned, and a terrifying murderous aura burst out: "Are you the head of the family, or am I the head?"

"You... are very good... Mardian..." The second elder gritted his teeth, his body trembling in fear.

They didn't think that Mardian, who was always humble and listened to what they said without any objection, would be this frightening.

Just one look made the two elders so scared that they broke out in cold sweat.

"It's time... you guys should exert some influence. Otherwise, the power you have only shows that you are just a bunch of useless people, relying on the power I give you to oppress the weak."

"You... Mardian, what are you planning to do?" The second elder shouted.

"Hahahaha..." Mardian laughed loudly, his laugh filled with contempt: "Of course to make you pay for what you did."

"What I did was for the good of the family." The Second Elder immediately responded.

"Ah! Good for the family, or just to strengthen your power and position?" Mardian said, his voice extremely cold: "Don't worry, I won't cause trouble with you."

"However... during this time, if you dare to do anything that makes me feel uncomfortable, I'm afraid... the position of Elder... I will give it to someone else."

Having finished speaking, Mardian immediately left.

The Second Elder gritted his teeth in anger, but he also knew that he could not defeat Mardian.

Just as Mardian said, this family's development to this day is all thanks to his talent.

"Second Elder..." The Third Elder suddenly spoke: "He wants to use us as shields."

"What do you mean?" The second elder frowned and asked.

The Third Elder sighed and said: "The death of that whore, Malina's mother, was caused by us. Mardian wants to rely on this to arouse Malina's hatred."

"Now, Malina has become a true noble, a baroness. Besides that bitch, there is also a genius named Alec and someone respected by the royal family, Claire."

"If we let them develop, I'm afraid... our outcome won't be good either."

"Malina will definitely investigate everything, when that time comes, her anger combined with the help of Alec, Claire, and even Mardian is something we cannot stop."

"Damn it!" The second elder angrily shouted: "So... can we just stand still and wait for that day to come?"

"No... If we can't do that, then... let's use someone else." The third elder said his eyes became extremely dark and scary.

...

Outside, Alec smiled with satisfaction. In recent days, he has been unable to flex or face-slap, which makes him extremely depressed.

Besides, the fact that Lathel became a hero and appeared in the newspaper made him even more upset.

But thanks to today, he was able to release the anger and discomfort inside his body.

Alec smiled and said: "Malina, I am your knight, no matter where you go, I will be by your side."

Hearing that, Malina looked at Alec with wet eyes: "Alec, will you hate me?"

"Why do I hate you?"

"Because... just now... I..."

"Hahahaha..." Alec laughed, interrupting Malina's words: "Don't worry, on the contrary, I think what you did was right."

"When we are cornered, we need to resist; we can't let those bastards continue to bully you."

Malina pursed her lips, and a shy smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, Alec. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid... I wouldn't be able to leave that place easily."

Hearing that, Alec smiled. At first, he really didn't want to protect Malina. He couldn't sleep with her anyway, and protecting her was useless.

But... seeing the reward that Sivir brought, he knew that... as long as Malina successfully left the Montague family, he could enjoy that reward with her.
