The guards beside emissary wu were shaken to the core. The aura this man was reading wasnt to be taken lightly, it was as if if they took so much as a single step they would crumble under its pressure.
Emissary wu weakly struggled to get on his feet, his whole face was red with a massive handprint clearly showing on it. yyyou he stammered. How would someone speak when a beast stared them right in the eyes.
"each word you speak will earn you a slap justin" said coldly. He was damned serious. That man called Lord Lee had sent this b***h right here to paint him as a criminal. Well then hed show them what a true criminal is.
Emissary wus eyes widened "h..how dare you!"
"how dare you...1,2, thats three" justin muttered and raised his hand up. The back of his palm met emissary wus shocked face. Before emissary wu could feel the effect, another two straight up followed the first slap.
Three times, emissary wu spit out. Three times, emissary wu lost a tooth.
One of the guards couldnt take it anymore. He couldn't be here and someone would be thrashing a man he was tasked to protect. He was part of the strong for all he knew, what was happening was utter disrespect to his title. He ignored justins pressure and drew his sword, not minding the presence of lord plato and asmodieus.
Justin picked up the sound of a sword being drawn and he immediately shifted his gaze over to the guard. The guards hand shook as he stared justin in the eyes. His instincts were sending massive danger alert.
Seeing as his fellow guard had drawn the sword, samadiel followed along and drew his own sword.
Lord plato and asmodieus had already retreated to the sides. They left justin to handle it for now, later on they would ask him what really happened. But for now, it was just to grab an imaginary popcorn (yespopcorns do exist here) and enjoy the show. The walls would be sturdy enough to handle the attacks.
"you really wanna do this?" justin sighed a bit, dealing with these two guards would just add to his tiredness. "the things a man has to do for some sleep..." he muttered as a fiery red glow encased his left arm. Without noticed, the punched samadiel with so much force that he was sent all the way across the room and he lost consciousness upon impact.
The other guard shook so much that his sword almost fell off from his hand.
"i...it's alright". emissary wu held the guard using him as a leverage to stand. He lowered the guards sword with his hand and sharply stared at justin. With no words he went across the room and brought samadiel back to consciousness. Together, the three then left the room leaving the smell of urine in the air.
" i think one of them pissed himself" asmodieus chuckled. Lord plato and justin broke into laughter hearing that and the tense atmosphere was gone
….
"What really happened?" asmodieus asked justin. The three of them sat in the living room with some glasses of wine on the newly made table. The two women of the house were off to somewhere, the councilmen werent present today so they were the only ones present currently.
justin downed the whole wine and let out a satisfied sigh. "okay so it goes like this. Lord lee's son rescued me from the grasslands near won pas village. Hde brought me to the house and they really took care of me, patched up my wounds and all. But little did i know that they were preparing me for that little b***h selina"
"you mean lee selina? Lee's daughter?" lord plato asked. He had stayed behind since he was obviously very interested in hearing what justin had to say about the matter.
"yes. She wanted me to be her servant, even demanding that i lick her feet!''
"unsurprising, the lee children are known to have weird interests. Only the first daughter seems to be normal although no one truly knows" lord plato nodded his head in agreement.
"and then when i refused to do such, she ordered her guard to beat me up. Of course no such thing could happen and i instead beat him up" justin said with a smug look. Asmodieus just smiled as kept staring at justin as he listened on.
"as i tried to leave the mansion, the brother came and started spouting lies about how i assaulted his sister and how it was an offence punishable by death" he could remember the events vividly since it wasnt even up to a week when they happened.
"then suddenly he attacked me and i had to defend myself against him. We fought until the lord lee showed up and he did some serious weird s**t to me.Next thing i knew it, i was in his dungeon"
"ah...so thats what happened" lord plato believed justins side of the events more. What he had seen and heard of him correlated with his story, he didnt strike as the criminal that emissary wus words painted him to be.
" i found my way out of the prison and decided to take the princess hostage since that was the only way i could use to get out alive. Obviously i couldnt leave without some form of apology so in short, i extorted money from him...hehe’’ justin recounted the events as perfectly as he could. He had to clear and doubts and suspicions that they had of him after listening to emissary wu’s words.
.
Lee mansion. Emissary wu and the guards returned with dejected faces. Today was the worst day of emissary wus life, he had been insulted by an elvish looking bastard and this f*****g useless men who called themselves part of the fifty strong couldnt even do anything to salvage the situation. Surely lord lee would be furious to hear the outcome of his visit today.
Ontario was quick to his heels as his had already been waiting for emissary wus arrival. ''how did it go?" he asked immediately he found emissary wu.
Emissary wu massaged his mouth as his face winced in pain. "not as expected little lord" he bowed.
"what do you mean not as expected" ontario looked at the horses for any sign of justin "why isnt he with you?"
Lets talk more inside little lord emissary wu frowned at the question.
