Chapter 194 - If We Can’t Come to An Agreement, We’ll Start
Let us not talk about whether this statement was true or not.
If Locke went back with these people from Wind City, his fate will no longer be in the hands of Hobrick and the others.
It was obvious that these people had malicious intentions. They could not even mention their master’s name! Will they let Locke off?
Did they think that people from Holy City were three-year-old children?
“I’m sorry, we’ve already said it earlier. I have nothing to say about breaking the law, but we must follow the procedures of the federal mainland’s laws. If you come to ask for Locke now, that would be breaking the mainland’s laws! It’s not your turn to arrest the people of the Holy City!”
Hobrick’s tone was very firm and there was no room for negotiation.
At this time, Douglas and the two directors also walked in.
Both sides were in a tense situation!
Duke Freeman was so angry that his face turned red! As a veteran noble of Wind City, he had never expected to be refuted by a few commoners who did not even have a title of nobility!
If it was Wind City, Duke Freeman would not even need to do such a thing! He did not expect that there were not many experts in Holy City except for tough bones!
However, Duke Freeman had to complete the mission no matter what! If he could not complete this small matter, his position in the palace would definitely decline in the future!
At the critical moment, Duke Freeman suppressed the anger in his heart and pushed Earl Cook away. Looking at these people, he said with a disdainful smile, “I said it! My King has an order! We must take Locke away! If you don’t let him come with us, you’re making an enemy of Wind City! Have you thought about the consequences?”
‘What do you mean by making an enemy out of Wind City? What do you mean your king has an order? This is unreasonable!’
Did the King of Wind City want to take Locke away from the Holy City without going through the court? This was misusing the king’s title to oppress others!
This matter was not without leeway.
The position of the Federation Academy was also very clear. They would think of a way to save Locke through the normal legal procedures.
However, once these words were said, both sides had become enemies!
The envoys of Wind City were too arrogant!
“Don’t use Gilbert to pressure me! Locke is in the Royal Palace now! If you have a way, go there and ask for him!” Seeing that the other party was already unreasonable, Hobrick did not want to spend more time with them anymore.
Hobrick immediately added. “We are building a campus! The answers have already been given to you! We’ll see you in court if there’s further questions! Please leave!”
According to common sense, Hobrick’s words would definitely make the two emissaries furious. Who knew that they would laugh instead.
“Hahaha… So what if it’s the royal family? Even His Majesty the King has to give face to the King!”
Tristan could not help but say, “You guys are really too bold! You dare to look down on the royal family!”
Duke Freeman spread his hands, the expression on his face was still arrogant as he said, “There’s nothing we can do about it! It’s our Wind City’s fault for being so powerful! I believe that old man won’t meddle in this matter pertaining Locke. After all, he’s just a lowly commoner! The old man won’t fall out with the King because of this person!”
It was not an exaggeration to say that this was one of the most offensive words in the history of the Federation!
However, Hobrick knew very well that the other party had the right to say this.
The Beastmasters of Wind City were everywhere now!
Since a few months ago, the Frederick family had been continuously recruiting troops!
This was a time of peace!
Even if they had no intention of starting a rebellion, this was enough to show that they were accumulating strength.
“Looks like he’s right… Wind City has already become the most unstable factor on the continent, but can Locke alone solve this problem?” Hobrick did not have a definite answer to what he was thinking.
Earl Cook put on his precious Battle Beast leather gloves and did not look like he wanted to discuss further. He looked high and mighty. “Since Locke isn’t here now, then you have another choice. Let your highest person-in-charge explain it to us back in Wind City! Perhaps, the King will be magnanimous and won’t bother you anymore!”
Was not the so-called highest-ranking official here Hobrick?
It would have been fine if Earl Cook did not say this, but once he said it, the three directors and Douglas were furious!
This had definitely crossed everyone’s bottom line! It was absolutely impossible to continue the discussion further!
“Screw you!”
“Ask Gilbert to come over himself! You two lackeys don’t have the qualifications to negotiate with us!”
“Get lost back to Wind City! You’re too overbearing!”
“What disgusting b*stards!”
Just as the two emissaries were about to fly into a rage, Hobrick, who had not spoken a moment ago, took a step forward and said something that no one had expected, “I… Will go to Wind City with you.”
The reason Hobrick had made such a decision was mainly because he truly disapproved of his elder brother’s decision to allow the Frederick family to clash with Locke.
After all, Wind City was too strong. In his opinion, Locke did not have any hope of winning!
At most, it would cause the opponent to suffer a loss in battle strength.
Even so, Hobrick was not willing to let his favorite student take the risk.
Hobrick was already 70 years old, how many more years could he live? At least he had some reputation and he believed that Gilbert would give him some face.
However, Tristan and the others obviously would not let Hobrick do it!
“Old man! Don’t talk nonsense…”
“I’m the head of security! I’ll decide who can leave this school and who can come in! I don’t agree with these arrangements!”
“Instructor, don’t be muddle-headed. Wind City’s laws are strict and they’ve always looked down on us commoners. This absolutely won’t do!”
Douglas, who was dressed in a security uniform, added the last sentence. “Diana is right!”
“You guys…” In the academy, Hobbrick was a man of his word but now his decision was unanimously opposed.
“Bang!”
A table was suddenly shattered!
“Locke didn’t let us take him away and this d*mn old man also didn’t let us take him away! What on Earth are you doing? You’ve also called my King’s name many times! I’ve said it before that this is a capital offense!”
The person who smashed the table was Duke Freeman! Ever since he came to this big tent, he had been feeling uncomfortable all over, and now…
Duke Freeman could not hold it in anymore!
“Boom! Boom!”
Suddenly, two heavy footsteps seemed to be approaching the tent.
“It’s a Battle Beast!” Tristan immediately felt the aura!
“What do you want?” Knowing that the enemy was approaching, Jacques immediately summoned his Battle Beast and used the Golden Shield to cover the entire tent!
After sighing, Cook knew what would happen next, so he said frankly, “Bringing back Hobrick’s head is our third choice! Instructors punished for student’s mistakes… This is something the King can accept…”
Douglas stood in front of Diana and roared, “Do you think you have the ability to do so?”
Gold-armored Skeleton Squad immediately appeared after he had finished speaking!
“Control them!” Seeing that the other party had already summon their Battle Beasts, it was like declaring war! Douglas had no reason to be polite anymore!
