Their world doesn't need gods.

Chapter 201 A Night Walk with Louise (6)

Emma pressed the sword closer to him, and Sinan wisely shut his mouth.

The sudden situation shocked Ben so much that he was speechless. When Xinan's men saw that their leader was captured, they all lost their will to fight and put down their weapons in surrender.

"You two did notice the commotion after all~ But it's still a big help."

Alfred also put away his dagger and said to Emma and Monica.

"Hehe~The punishment before that..."

Emma immediately put away her murderous expression and put on a silly smile. If this girl had a tail, Alfred guessed that her tail would definitely swing left and right like a dog's.

“No~!”

"Woo~! Lord Al is bullying!"

"Well, let's talk a little bit Sir Heenan."

Alfred ignored Emma who was acting cute and looked at Sinan who was still smiling.

"Let me talk a little bit. Although I don't know who you are, don't think that you will be let off so easily if you do something like this. Lord Duke Opold will never forgive anyone who dares to cause trouble for him."

Even with a sword at his neck, Heenan showed no fear at all. Instead, he threatened Alfred in a tough tone.

Although he is just taking advantage of the power of another, his courage is indeed quite good.

(Well, if this guy wasn’t such a bad person, his ability as a subordinate would actually be pretty good. If he wasn’t such a bad person.)

Alfred praised Heenan slightly in his mind, but a playful smile appeared on his face.

"That's a coincidence. I will never forgive those fools who dare to cause trouble for me. This is a night street. No matter what happens, no one will care. Is that right?"

"what do you mean?"

Heenan stared at Alfred warily, and his tone was no longer as respectful as before.

"Let's discuss a little bit of business. I'll give you my reward~"

Alfred put his hand on his head and tapped it twice, pretending to be thinking seriously.

Then, as if he had thought of a good idea, he made an exaggerated expression and tapped the palm of his left hand lightly with his right hand.

"It's your life."

"Wha...what? Are you going to kill me here? Don't think..."

“Ah~ah, don’t use that annoying old man as a shield~ He actually dared to attack me and my companion, Senior Louise. I let you go so easily. You should be grateful. Even if you die here today, your great master won’t say anything.”

Alfred shrugged and moved closer to Heenan.

"What do you mean..."

"Never really provoke the useless people in the Elect family. Be careful that even if they die, they will drag you and your great master down with them."

Alfred whispered in Heenan's ear.

"Yi..."

Heenan looked at Alfred's face and immediately turned pale and closed his mouth.

(Hmm~ Now I finally understand why online novels always have plots about pretending to be a pig but then eating the tiger. Although it seems a bit stupid when I read it, if I were the person involved, I would feel surprisingly refreshed.)

Alfred chuckled in his heart.

'Never really piss off Elect,' this was a phrase that nobles of the same generation as Alfred's father used to circulate.

Because both Alfred's grandfather and his father Ron looked very kind and were looked down upon in the aristocratic society. But both of them had done something very excessive because of anger.

Alfred's grandfather once got very angry with the then Imperial Army Marshal over a concubine of commoner origin, and severely abused the latter in a public duel.

And when the marshal refused to admit defeat and kept making irresponsible remarks, Alfred's grandfather took advantage of the opportunity while the duel was still going on and executed him in public.

Alfred's father, Ron, also did a lot of extreme things in order to marry Carolina, who was of low-ranking noble birth. For example, he helped the nobles who put pressure on Carolina's family to make a major change from lord to heir.

Because a large number of assassinations occurred in a very short period of time, people in the palace were in panic all day long.

Ron had been very well behaved since Alfred was born.

Alfred's grandfather had to take responsibility for the duel and was "forced" to resign his position as Duke (he was very happy because he could push all the troublesome work to his son Ron), and went on a trip on a magic spaceship with his many wives and concubines, and he has not returned for many years.

The current aristocracy, especially those of Alfred's generation, has begun to look down on the Duke of Elect's family.

However, Sinan has been with Duke Opold for a long time and is a seasoned veteran who has seen many ups and downs. He will definitely understand the meaning of this sentence.

"Okay~ Sir Heenan, are you willing to accept my deal?"

It was obvious that Alfred did not clearly state what he wanted.

But Xinan still nodded in fear and agreed without hesitation.

Seeing Xinan giving in so quickly, Ben screamed in panic.

"You, you loser, didn't you just boast and ask for my reward? Why are you so scared by this damn brat that you dare not even say a word?!"

Heenan didn't answer, but avoided Ben's gaze.

"Hey, you guys too. There are only four of them including Louise. Hurry up, you useless idiots! Are you all being fed for free?"

They were clearly not his subordinates, but Ben still yelled at the burly men in suits.

After seeing Xinan's expression, these strong men ignored Ben and continued to stand there, not daring to move.

"Damn it, what a bunch of useless trash. In the end, I still have to do it myself..."

Just as Ben was about to take the puppet ball out of his arms, it was bounced away by the flying knife. His hand was also scratched by the flying knife, and blood kept pouring out.

“Aaaaah! It hurts so much. Someone, come and help me. Healer, healer!”

Although it was just a minor cut on his hand when cutting vegetables, Ben screamed in panic. His useless appearance was really sad.

"Don't kill him, because it will be very troublesome to clean up afterward."

Monica showed an annoyed expression and was about to throw a second knife to shut Ben up, but Alfred spoke up to stop her.

"As ordered."

Monica obediently put away the throwing knife.
