That bodyguard said cheerfully, “For all we know, he might have already succeeded! Our young master is just waiting to carry the beauty home!”
…
“Demolish it!”
Ken gave the order, planning to let those men take action.
“What’s going on? Did that brat Fane overhear their conversation? Why did he go over to meddle?”
Seeing the outcome, Fiona was truly shocked.
At first, she thought her own daughter was very filial and would most likely agree to their request, but…
“I’ll see who dares!”
Fane took a few steps forward and stood in front of the gate. At that moment, although he looked dirty in clothes that were stained with muddy water, the aura he gave off while standing there gave people quite the scare.
“Haha, Fane Woods, you’re quite brazen!”
Ken laughed, then said to a middle-aged nearby, “Brother Howard, I’ll have to depend on you to help me teach this brat a lesson!”
Fane had noticed long ago. Although that guy only stood there all the while without saying anything, he was no ordinary person.
He had a certain quality about him that only a soldier would have. His posture was perfectly straight, a trait that regular people did not have.
The opponent looked at Fane, then frowned. He could feel that Fane had a similar quality about him that was only present in those that returned from the battlefield.
Dennis looked at Ken, then said, “I’ll talk with him inside. Without my orders, no one else is allowed to take any actions!”
“It can’t be. Brother Howard, you can just cripple him, give him a good round of beating and have him get out of our sights. Worse comes to worst, you can just kill him. Why do you need to negotiate with him? He’s not qualified!”
Ken’s mouth was wide open as he doubted his own hearing. Although Fane was a veteran as well, what made him qualified to negotiate with a marshal?
Most likely, if Fane found out about his identity, he might just kneel down in terror.
Both of them entered the house, then closed the door behind.
After Dennis closed the door, he finally lifted his head slightly and placed his hands behind him, showing the demeanor of an authoritative figure. “To be frank, based on my own personality, I wouldn’t have helped that Ken, but I have my own reasons!”
Having said that, he stated bluntly, “I’m a marshal. Having to do this, I feel helpless as well. Please just move. I’ll pass you the money in secret as compensation! This way, it’ll be good for all parties! Please do this favor for me!”
