Chapter 382: Taking Things A Little Too Far

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Augustus looked at the man and woman in front of him with great interest. He was not in a good mood that day, so he invited Casey and Lana to dinner.

The reason for his bad mood was very simple. The Campbell family had received a piece of news the previous day, which told them that the Sword Saint had accepted a disciple.

It had been nearly ten years since Reid had last accepted a disciple. As the strongest person in the kingdom, it was not a small matter for Reid to get a disciple. Furthermore, the Campbell family had also found out that the disciple was the youth that Antonio had brought back from the border.

The young man had become the disciple of two famous people in the kingdom. Even the Campbell family had to praise Watson’s luck. The head of the family even issued an order requesting their descendants to contact Watson and rope that genius into their fold.

Augustus was not happy about that matter.. He had not tried to get Antonio and the Sword Saint to be his master, but they had rejected him.

He was the Campbell family’s top genius, but he had run into a wall in front of two powerful people. In the end, those two people were fighting over Watson. Did that mean he was inferior to Watson? How could he bear that thought? f reeweb novel.com

“Lady Swordmistress and the young man who displayed his might at His Majesty’s banquet yesterday. I didn’t expect you to sit together for a meal. It seems like the news of the Sword Saint accepting a disciple is true! By the way, Watson, where’s the unicorn you took? Why didn’t you bring it with along? Did it die from too much corruption?”

Augustus gave Christina and Watson a playful smile as he licked his lips.

Those familiar with him knew that he only licked his lips when his heart was filled with killing intent. He felt even more furious when he saw Watson and Christina sitting together while the top masters rejected him and other members from the archdukes’ families.

The Sword Saint family’s status surpassed the three archdukes, who were more powerful. As the future heir to the Campbell family, his status was higher than Christina’s. He knew that Christina did not have the right to sit here; she was only there because of Watson.

“Watson is only starting to get famous in the capital, and that tavern has already started to rope him in. How foolish! Who knows how long that illusory fame will last? Perhaps today, or perhaps in the next second—that fame will cease to exist.”

Augustus’ face was brimming with pride.

“Who are you?”

Watson glanced at Augustus and quickly averted his gaze. He remembered seeing that red-haired youth the previous day, but he did not have much of an impression. As for the unicorn, it had attracted too much attention by his side. Therefore, he had left it in the care of the Severed Fingers Gang.

Watson’s gaze fell on Casey and Lana. “Young Master Casey and Miss Lana, long time no see! I didn’t expect to see you in the capital.”

Casey’s body trembled. At that moment, he was clearly much better than when he was in the floating city. Other than bandages on his hands, his movements were a little stiff, but no wounds were seen anywhere else.

“Didn’t we just meet at His Majesty’s banquet?”

He muttered softly, as if afraid that Watson would hear him. Watson put on a smile and said, “Watson, thanks to you, my father let me leave the Ptolemy family and enter the Royal Academy to see the world! I’m pleased to see you again. As for Augustus and I, we’ve known each other for a long time. Augustus had visited the floating city, and I even invited him to the Crystal Palace. This time, it’s his turn to treat me to a meal.”

“Casey, why are you explaining so much to that person? I heard that you had a conflict with him, right? Don’t worry. I will avenge you.”

“Augustus, when have I ever said that?”

Augustus’ words caused Casey’s expression to change. He had Lana by his side and the bodyguards to supervise him, so he could not do anything terrible there. He also had to train constantly if he wanted to pass the Royal Academy’s assessment. It was the same for Augustus, a Young Master from one of the archdukes’ families.

The main culprit behind his suffering in the floating city was Watson. Over the past two days, he had said many things to Augustus, but he did not dare admit it in front of Watson.

“Watson, Augustus is only joking. I didn’t say those words, definitely not,” Casey explained in fear and trepidation. Then, he extended his right hand and pointed three fingers at the sky. “I swear.”

“Really? But, Casey, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t have had to come to the capital if not for Watson? You even cursed him to die. Did I mishear you?” Lana asked as she touched her lips. However, she did not look at Casey; she kept her eyes on Christina.

Casey’s knees almost buckled, and the look on his face became more and more terrified. He said, “No, I didn’t say that.” At the same time, he looked at Lana in disbelief. “Lana, how could you say that about me? I’m your brother.”

“Get lost, you weakling!”

Augustus was disgusted by Casey’s behavior. He kicked Casey and stood in front of Watson. More than a dozen noblemen behind him also looked at Casey with disdain. If it were not for Casey’s identity, they would have mocked him then.

Watson was only Antonio and the Sword Saint’s disciple; did Casey have to be so polite toward him?

It was embarrassing to see the young man bow toward another person, disregarding the etiquette of the noblemen.

“Watson, this is my usual dining place. Now I’m here with my friends to eat. Please leave. Otherwise, I’ll make you leave.”

Augustus stretched out his right hand. A burst of fire erupted from his hand, releasing a silent threat.

“Lady Swordmistress, let’s go.”

Watson sighed and stood up; he was no longer in the mood to eat. He would not argue with that kind of person.

However, the other party did not intend to let him go.

“Wait, Watson, I only asked you to leave. I did not say to let Miss Christina leave as well! As the Sword Saint’s daughter, Miss Christina is qualified enough to eat with us.”

“Does that mean that I’m the only one who is not qualified to eat here?”

“It looks like you’re not stupid at all.”

Augustus had a playful smile on his face. “So, do you plan to leave?”

“Augustus, don’t go too far. Watson is my guest. I invited him to eat here today. You’re disrespecting me by chasing him away! If that’s the case, Watson doesn’t need to do anything. I’ll be your opponent.”

Christina could not stand it any longer. She stood up. She had not gotten any useful information from Watson yet, and Augustus and the others had already chased him away. Would that not be a huge loss for her?

Augustus’s face darkened when he heard that, and a trace of coldness appeared in his eyes. “Miss Christina, it seems like I’ve brought that upon myself! I don’t like to fight with women other than that cold woman from the Saint Laurent family. I hope that you won’t become the second person for me to hunt. Plus, it looks like someone is keeping quiet. It’s quite unmanly to hide behind a woman.”

“Young Master Augustus, calm down. Let’s eat in another dining area! Watson is not human. He’s a monster. There’s no benefit in angering him.”

Casey stood up and comforted Augustus.

“You’re so annoying. Get out of my way. I’ve provoked him today. Let’s see what he can do to me. Platinum-tier fire-elemental spell, Roaring Ancient Fire Python.”

Augustus clenched his fist at Watson impatiently. The flames in his right hand instantly exploded. Its size expanded by a hundred times, and a ten-meter-long fire python appeared in the air. Its tail twitched gently, leaving a scorched mark on the ground. The fangs in its huge mouth were visible, and some of the tables, chairs, and benches in the room were on fire.

“Young Master Augustus is angry. Retreat!”

More than ten noblemen seemed to be quite familiar with Augustus’ behavior. Those who knew him well retreated out of the room. They could avoid getting hurt, and they could also stop people from trying to help.

After summoning the fire python, Augustus did not care about the people around him at all. He waved his hand at Watson, and the fire python immediately swung its tail at Watson. Watson moved a few meters backward, muttering, “Phew, that was close.” After patting his clothes, the table in front of him was smashed into pieces by the python’s tail. It turned into ashes on the ground.

“This room is only so big. Let’s see where you can hide! Platinum-tier spell, Roaring Ancient Fire Python!”

Augustus had a sinister smile on his face. He stretched his left hand outward, and a similarly huge fire python appeared in the room. The two pythons intersected, and flames kept spewing out of their mouths. That time, it was not just tables and chairs; the flames ignited even the floor and ceiling.

The temperature of the crimson flame was extremely high. It could even melt gold-grade ores. The small room seemed to have instantly turned into a fiery purgatory. As molten lava flowed everywhere on the floor and walls, the entire room and the tavern would be burned to ashes at that rate. Watson’s expression finally changed from relaxed to serious.

“Aren’t you taking things a little too far?”

As soon as his voice fell, he took a step forward and allowed the two fire pythons to reach toward him. Their mouths tore down on him.

Crack!

The fire pythons touched Watson’s body with a crisp sound, but they did not cause any harm. Instead, the two pythons seemed to have discovered something terrifying, and their bodies collapsed with mournful wails.

“How is this possible?”

Augustus’ face paled. His body swayed, and suddenly, he found Watson’s figure disappearing from his face. “Where is he?”

A sense of crisis rose in Augustus’ heart. He wanted to turn back, but it was too late. A tender hand reached out from behind him, grabbed his head, and pressed him to the ground.

With a muffled sound, a pit with a radius of several meters appeared on the ground. Augustus was covered in blood as he fell into the hole. Long snake-like cracks spread outward from the pit.
