To Michael's surprise, the elf took out a healing potion he had brewed. Michael could recognize the potions he brewed anywhere, anytime. As soon as the elf chugged the healing potion down his throat, the bruises on his face quickly closed up.
Although the elf was caught off guard by Noah's sudden attack, the elf sensed the human was stronger than him by the force of his attack. But, unfortunately, Idrisal was in the range of void. Hence the people lost the ability to see others' cultivation levels.
"Human trash. Today, even if that bitch wants to protect you, you can forget about leaving the auction house alive" The elf screamed with boiling killing intent and picked himself up from the floor. Then the elf smashed the vial on the ground as the shattered vial joined the hundreds of broken glass pieces on the ground already.
The elf immediately waved as a golden circle appeared around him. Seeing this, the people quickly backed off, forming an ample empty space in the hall. However, before the elf could finish casting the spell, an ethereal form of a giant fist appeared out of nowhere and hit him through the golden circle. The punch emitted a soft 'crack' sound emitted and following which, the elf coughed up a mouth full of fresh blood. A millisecond after he coughed up blood, his body was also thrust by the strong and vicious force, resulting in him being violently shot into the wall. Immediately, he spat out another mouthful of fresh blood. His legs knelt on the ground while his body was curled up in pain.
Everything happened quickly, from the elf hitting the ground after breaking the glass wall above to being sent flying into the wall. So many didn't even comprehend what just happened.
Michael and Olivia halted their conversation to see the fight.
Only when the elf hit the ground after colliding with the wall could Edith realize what just happened. Shock and disbelief immediately covered her stunning face.
At this moment, the subordinates beside the elf finally recovered from this split-second occurrence. When they eyed their master's miserable state, they were shocked first. Then they immediately surrounded Noah angrily as they unsheathed their weapons. In addition to the elf's guards, the Aqua clan guards also surrounded Noah since he had just attacked one of their own, and it was their duty to apprehend Noah dead or alive.
"I order all of you to stand down!" Then, seeing the guards surrounding them, Edith pulled herself out of the shock to stomp on the ground. Her domineering shout echoed through the hall.
Hearing Edith's shout, a few guards hesitated for a moment. Their master may have the courage to offend Edith, but it did not mean that they also had such courage.
"What the hell is going on teacher?" Olivia stepped closer to Michael involuntarily.
"Pretty girl, two young masters. This is called the recipe of shitstorm" Michael leaned on the wall, watching the elf struggling to pick himself up.
He quickly put his hand behind as he took out a Spyder from the system storage to send to crawling to the elf. Since Noah had made an enemy out of the elf, Michael planned to make an ally out of them. Then, if or when the time comes, Michael would be able to use the elf and his family against Noah and his allies.
"If any of you dare take a step forward, then all of you will be banned from Aqua clan. Although you are not my subordinates, just think, who are the elders gonna listen, few lowly guards or me" The guards immediately took a step back when they heard Edith. The guards' last need was to get between the young master and Edith. They knew quarrels between them were nothing out of the ordinary. They would fight today and mingle tomorrow, but if they stuck between them, the elders wouldn't think twice before firing them. Hence, most guards let Edith deal with the clan and the elf and stepped back.
The rest stared at Edith's anger-filled eyes for a few moments before unwillingly pulling back.
"Take your master to wherever you came from." Edith coldly ordered with her delicate hand pointed to the entrance.
Michael saw the elf finally getting to his feet and drinking another vial of healing potion.Instead of trying to cast another spell, the elf shouted at Edith and Noah, looking at the elf from upstairs.
"Alright Edith, you got guts. You actually helped an outsider ambush me. Just wait!" The elf took a step forward only to stagger. Considering Michael had Xray eyes, he saw the elf's Core Formation level 5 cultivation and Noah's Core Strengthening level 2 cultivation. The power gap between them was enormous. So there was no way the elf could defeat Noah.
Quickly the elf's subordinates grabbed him before falling to the ground again. He rubbed off the blood stain from the corner of his mouth and angrily stared at his subordinates. Immediately, his pupils contained a dark coldness and gloominess as he turned toward Noah by Edith's side. His breathing was hurried as he said with a dark voice,
"You haven't heard the last of Galan Beileth"
After leaving those vicious words, the elf maliciously slapped the poor guard by his side and snarled at him, "Fool. Go!"
"Great we made another enemy hooray" Norvin sighed, laughing bitterly.
"I am sorry I got you into trouble Edith. But I couldn't watch him bad mouth you" Edith's heart immediately warmed, hearing his words. She couldn't help smiling and blushing.
"I am sorry" Noah gently placed his hand on Edith's shoulder and apologized. In a flash, her rosy face completely turned red.
"It's… it's alright. Although Galan will definitely cry and complain to his grandfather, they won't meddle with the problems of youngsters"
"We will deal with Galan if he tries anything" Noah assured her with his captivating smile,
"That's some next level cringe shit" Michael shook his head.
"Where are my manors? The little guy said he's hungry right. Come on follow me" Edith's usual bright smile resurfaced on her face as she walked towards the door at the hall's end. The guards flanking the door pushed open the door for Edith, revealing a spacious room with several bookshelves neatly erected within. There were various different kinds of thick books placed on these bookshelves. Edith passed through them and finally came to the front of a work desk. She then turned around, looking at Noah with a smile.
"Have a seat. Now, can you tell me, just what you need?" Pointing at the chairs at the side, she asked,
They nodded, randomly pulling out a chair and sitting down. Then, after musing for a moment, Niah stared at Edith, "Who was that elf?"
Meanwhile, Norvin reached for the fruit basket on the table and picked up a juicy red apple to munch on.
Edith made a detour around the table and sat behind it. Her lips slightly pouted as she said with a smile, "His grandfather is the Aqua clan branch leader in Idrisal. Since King Maxim and Galan's grandfather have been in talks to form an alliance, I have to act as the liaison between them. Usually,
He would avoid me when I was with Victoria. But since she's not here, he got cocky" Edith brushed over the black hair of her forehead and said somewhat tiredly. It was evident to Noah that the elf has been troubling her for some time now.
"Princess Victoria?" Alicia asked,
"You know her?"
Alicia nodded at Edith,
"Everyone knows her, I guess. Recently I heard she single handedly destroyed House of Kaylar"
"Sounds like someone I used to know" Norvin casually said laying on the table.
Edith frowned. When she looked at Noah, he just let out a deep breath,
"I was immature and impulsive. Those days are behind me now"
Noah didn't suddenly have a change of heart about killing. Honestly, he learned the hard way that taking a life should be the last resort. He still had nightmares about the children who lost their parents because of his ruthlessness. So that day when those children looked at him with a confused look in their eyes, wondering why their parents had left them, Noah's heart shattered into pieces. Noticing the sudden pain in Noah's eyes, Edith quickly changed the topic while Alicia gave a cold look to Norvin, wordlessly telling him to shut up.
"You don't have to worry about Galan. On the contrary, he should be worried about Victoria. If she knew what happened today, she wouldn't give a damn about the alliance. Instead, she would kick the crap out of Galan. Now I have to think of ways to calm her down when she returns from Mazeroth,"
"Speaking of Mazeroth, have you seen him?" Norvin's curiosity got the better of him. Only after uttering these words did he realize he shouldn't have asked the question in front of Alicia.
To everyone's surprise, Edith understood whom he meant by 'him'
"Unfortunately, yeah, we met him" Edith's face turned darker and gloomier as though the light had been drained from her face.contemporary romance
"If you're going to compete in the alchemy competition, you will meet him. Because he will be one of the judges,"
As soon as Alicia heard Edith, she clenched her fist to the point her nails protruded into her soft palm and blood began to trickle down to the ground.
"I heard what he did, and I'm sorry Alicia," Edith softly spoke,
For a few moments, Alicia didn't respond.
"I will pay him back in thousands of folds when I get the chance,"
