"If you lend your voice to support me, I believe it will be more than enough to convince the other council members!" Charles continued.In the law of the kingdom, each city is indeed given the freedom to determine its own form of government.And for a proposal to be approved, it must be supported by at least all the members of the Earl's family, in this case Insignia, and two noble families under it, the Baldini and the Amaro.Therefore, if Flavio agrees with Charles' idea, they only need to convince Aaron, who is actually Rufus, from the Amaro family, so that the proposal can be approved.After thinking for a moment, Flavio was about to give his approval when Charles surprised him again with his idea."Don't worry! If this plan succeeds, I will also propose that the noble status of Earl no longer be determined by hereditary succession!"As it is known, the leader of a city, whether it be over commoners or fellow nobles, is determined by the status of Earl that a particular noble fami
"If he is disappointed with our actions, he may abandon his intention to hold a new Earl election next year, or even cancel this plan altogether! If that happens, your hope of being named an Earl will vanish!" he continued.As mentioned earlier, Charles did indeed have a plan to make the title of Earl something earned through council rather than inheritance. And he also decided that he would start implementing his idea next year.Upon hearing Aaron's words, Flavio seemed to nod in agreement.A few moments later, however, he stood up from his chair."I understand very well what all the nobles present here are thinking! Anyway, as part of the tradition passed down through generations, it is an honor for us to be called such," he said.At that moment, Flavio's words surprised Aaron, who was sitting next to him.His body trembled as he imagined what his friend would say next."Stop this speech at once, Lord Baldini! I beg you!" he whispered.But as if he had not heard the words, Flavio co
With a puzzled look, Daniel asked the beautiful woman.As if she understood Daniel's thoughts, before the young man could finish his question, the woman had anticipated him."I am Harper," she said with a broad smile that made her friendly face even more pleasant to look at.When Charles had examined the Humanorium earlier, he had seen the girl in the room.Like Daniel, Charles couldn't believe that the girl was still alive."You... Harper, are you still alive?" the old man asked, gently touching Harper's head.Seeing one of Tectona's heroes, the old man could barely hold back his tears."Earl Insignia, I am still alive! The old man who claimed to be Aaron is an impostor! He's the one who trapped me here!"Like Charles, Harper couldn't hold back her tears.After twenty years, she had finally met someone she could trust.Bang!Before Daniel could speak to the woman, another loud explosion was heard."I'm afraid this place won't hold! Will you help me rescue the trapped girls?" Harper a
Ignoring the old man's words, Daniel turned his head backward."Lady, go! The safety of the girls is more important!" Daniel tried to persuade the angry girl."No! I'm not leaving until I see him take his last breath!" After saying this, Harper clenched both of her fists.At the same time, Daniel could feel the girl's killing aura growing stronger. Seeing the determination in her eyes, Daniel knew there was nothing he could do to convince her."In that case, let's finish this quickly!" he said to Harper.Without answering Daniel's words, the woman disappeared from her standing position.The next moment, her body was in the air and she threw a palm strike, now transformed into iron, at Rufus.Strike!Harper was a formidable female Warrior.In addition, she had mastered the Iron Fist technique inherited from her family. However, as her attack was about to hit Rufus, the old man flashed a mocking smile."Remember, you learned that technique from me!How could I lose to my own technique?"
"You're wandering around outside, but your strength hasn't improved much! It seems like you're just wasting your life!"Saying this, Flavio took slow steps towards Charles."Huh, how arrogant of you!" replied the head of the Insignia family. "Your strength is only two levels above mine, yet you act like you're much stronger than me!"What Charles said was true.Flavio was only two levels stronger than him.If the head of the Insignia family was at the sixth level of the Lion Rank, then Flavio was at the eighth level."Hahaha! Whether it's one or two levels above you, the bottom line is that I'm stronger than you!" Flavio said again."And this time," he added, staring at Charles with a cunning smile, "I won't let you leave this place alive!"Charles could see the meaning in that look.Having been friends with Flavio for several years, how could he not know when the head of the Baldini family was truly determined to attack?"It seems he really wants to fight seriously! That's perfectly
Some of the girls in the glass room seemed conscious and healthy, while others seemed weak or even unconscious."Can you help me carry another girl?" Daniel asked a tall and beautiful girl, turning his head to a petite girl lying unconscious on the bed."Yes, of course! No problem!" she replied.Since Daniel had helped her get out of that place, the girl certainly didn't mind helping another girl.Daniel said the same to the girls who were still well enough to help their friends who had trouble walking.Not all of the weak girls were carried; some were supported."Miss Harper, which way shall we go now?" Daniel asked again once they were all gathered.While Harper supported one girl, Daniel also carried Dakota, who was unconscious, in both of his hands.Daniel asked this because they couldn't go through the front where Charles was fighting with Flavio.Harper thought for a moment before remembering a secret passage."As far as I remember, there's a secret passage that will get us out
The body of the old man trembled violently.His eyes stared blankly as if he was unconscious.Shortly after, his body fell to the ground and continued to shake."Can you help me carry this lady?" Daniel said to the tall girl.The girl had been at Daniel's side since earlier.She had decided to be the young man's main assistant and do whatever she could for him.While saying that, Daniel handed Dakota, who was still unconscious, to the girl."Wh-what are you going to do?"She knew that Daniel seemed to intend to deal with the old man first."Don't worry about him, just come with us!" she continued.But Daniel just smiled and shook his head."No! If I don't kill him, he'll keep following us!""But..."The girl's eyes showed that she didn't want Daniel to stay in the room."Go now! If not, you will only endanger all the girls!""Okay!" She nodded hesitantly, but tears streamed uncontrollably from the corners of her eyes.This was the first time in her life that she had met someone so kin
Bleep-bleep! Bleep-bleep!The sound of the alarm froze Flavio and Charles, each with a different expression on their faces.While the head of the Baldini family looked very angry and frustrated, the head of the Insignia family showed a relieved smile."Good job, Harper!" Charles exclaimed in his mind with great joy. "Now I can destroy this place to bury him!""Flavio, why are you just standing there?" he challenged.With that, he no longer hesitated to unleash his inner power to the limit."Aren't you interested in killing me anymore?"A sly smile played on Charles' lips as he said this, as if he was deliberately provoking his opponent to unleash all of his inner strength as well."Huh, insolent!" Flavio cursed, clenching both fists. "It seems I made a mistake not killing you earlier!"When he heard the alarm, he knew that something was definitely wrong.He might not care much about Charles, but he couldn't bear to see Harper, whom he had never touched, go free.With all the strength
