Chapter 230: The other teams (1)
The Duke’s arrival shocked Hex a lot.
’I thought he supported the royals. Or did he change his mind?’The Duke’s desired Grindeston. And Hex would never give up on the town without a fight. This made them enemies even without confronting each other.
’Come to think of it, he didn’t obstruct or ambush me. He might still be after the town but he might disdain using underhanded methods.’
Hex sensed more people dropping from the sky. He looked up and saw a group slide down the ropes hanging from the sides of the construct.
At the same time, the underlings of the royals had recovered from their shock. The High Oracle looked livid."Tauriel! How do you dare attack the King?! Have you forgotten it was His Majesty who increased your noble rank?"Her hysterical screams turned shrill toward the end.
Despite the lack of elements, her eyes seemed to be ablaze like the Duke’s."Greta, does it annoy you to see me here? You didn’t see me in your visions?" The Duke wasn’t screaming or shouting. But his deep beast-like growls reverberated through the entire district. Despite the look of fury on his face, he seemed to be...enjoying himself.
’He looks pleased with himself,’ Hex shook his head wryly. The district was in chaos. Disasters flooded the place yet the powerhouses seemed more focused on their grudges.
The people sliding finally arrived. They landed not far from Hex."Yo. How did you like our newest product?" Sterling waved happily at Hex. His reaction put a scowl on Hex’s face.
’Don’t act like we are friends.’ Sterling wasn’t alone. Quid, the female Knights he had seen in Grindeston, and an old man accompanied him. The old man was old...really old.
