Chapter 1695: Grimshaw
Bob’s voice carried far and wide, and had truly attracted the attention of the stadium now, who were more interested in the confrontation between the Jagged Stallion and Bob than the fight for life and limb going on in the stadium.
A conflict between the Jagged Stallions and disgruntled lawbreakers wasn’t unusual or new, though its frequency had dropped drastically lately. The Artica race had established itself as a race that placed great stock in their rules, and would not make exceptions for any power or force.
This was not a concept many were familiar with, and so had led to many, many confrontations. Now, it seemed, there was going to be yet another such confrontation. Bob, barrister and first of his name, seemed a little different, though. He did not break the rules, but he also did not seem to regard them all that much either.
The stallion seemed even more offended than before and seemed ready to blow up matters even more. Of course, Bob did not seem worried at all. In fact, he was perfectly calm and in control of the situation - a shock to the whole crew beyond what they could convey. Had he been pretending to be an idiot the whole time? Was he actually smart, and, or, competent?
Just before the steed could do anything, however, he seemed to turn behind towards the stadium, as if someone were talking to him. After a few moments, he turned and looked at Bob hatefully.
"Follow me," he said, and then turned around.
The fact that they were suddenly being led towards the stadium, after causing a scene, surprised many, though it surprised no one at all that they were being led towards the VIP section of the stadium. If some big shots were involved in this situation, then they would surely be in the VIP section.
The crew looked towards Tiny-Unicorn who, for once, conceded to Bob’s charge. They followed the steed through the crowd, all the way until they reached an open booth, filled with many unusual and intimidating races.
Longbeard’s beard trembled again, as if to let him know that he had come face to face with the origin of the terror he had been feeling. The others, too, detected that this place and these people were far from usual.
