Chapter 671 Chapter 671: Provocation and Envoy
While the Sultan was making his own preparations for the upcoming situation, Eric's weird condition was disrupted by a ringing bell.
It wasn't Sultan's gift, that was for sure, that guy wouldn't be this fast. Just thinking of the situation objectively, anyone would put their money on the neighbors.
After all, the best house in the best area had just been occupied, it would most certainly make people curious to know just who was that big figure.
Eric didn't stand up from his place though, it was the driver who walked to the door in order to open it. The moment he opened the door though he felt like he had just fallen into a sticky swamp.
It wasn't easy to keep composure, especially when the swamp was being fed from numerous Rank 5 experts, but he didn't give in.
Not only that, but he showed a relaxed smile and then exploded with his own pressure turning all spectators' faces purple to black.
Who would have expected that just a driver could be a Rank 6 powerhouse? Every such guy would either be a city state's leader or a big country's high-ranking official.
Being the head of a chicken was much more lucrative than being the tail of a phoenix. At least it was so for the people in the crowd.
"Your Excellency we are really sorry to have offended you with our blindness! It seems like we had eyes but failed to see!
Forgive us!"
Seeing the disparity, and understanding the current times, someone from the hiding group of spectators took the lead to apologize.
Even though he was apologizing, he didn't show himself physically and just sent his voice-over. Eric's driver could be a Rank 6 expert, but he shouldn't be thinking that he was that much.
They didn't want to start a fight now that he had revealed his Rank, but they weren't afraid of him, they had their own cards to play.
"Heheheeheh~! Of course, of course, it's not in my character to pay attention to every ignorant mosquito bite, so u don't have to worry about that.
It's just that I am afraid this has disturbed my Master's mood, so I would expect you to help me lift his mood!"
"Youuuu~!"
While the drivers words were said in a calm and relaxed tone, the content would make even ghosts enraged.
For that reason it was impossible for the guard of the crowd's leader to accept those venomous words directed to his Master, so he immediately tried to express his Master's anger.
"Swooshhh~!"
For his bad or good luck though before he could even voice a second word, a swoosh sound was heard and he felt something warm drip on his neck.
Putting his hand at the spot and then looking at it, he couldn't believe his eyes as he saw red on his hand, a clear indicator of blood.
The most surprising part though wasn't the blood, but the fact that the 'unseen' attack had only pulled a few drops of blood and hadn't cut his throat or taken his life.
Scary!
Frightening!
Terrifying!
Everyone in the crowd was left dumbfounded and stupefied!
Previously each and every one of them thought that even if they fought and had losses on their side they would still be able to take this guy down easily.
But seeing his attack, seeing his control over his strength and power made them understand how wrong they were, and fear started creeping on their bones once again.
The nature and characteristics of a weak man with backing though weren't so easily smashed just from some fear, as despite seeing the condition of his guard, he had no intention of groveling to Eric's driver.
"Your excellency truly deserves to be arrogant under the sky, making this little Third Cousin of the Sultan to really want to know and befriend you!"
While sending an olive branch to the driver or to be more specific to the expert that was working as a driver, the crowd's leader didn't forget to show his backing as well.
His meaning was more than clear, admitting my fault is already the most you can take from me, so you either forget about this or suffer the consequences.
Of course, at the same time he was also trying to pull over the inconspicuous expert on his side. After all, who wouldn't want to have someone of that strength and skill by his side.
If he managed to establish a connection, or relationship with this expert then his status would skyrocket in this Sultanat that his cousin had created.
Who knew, one day he might even bring down his own cousin and become the Sultan himself. That would be awesome.
Unfortunately, even the current deluded Leader knew that it was nothing more than a pipe dream, and that it was impossible to happen.
All this while, he didn't think in the least of getting in Eric's good books though. Because even if Eric was the Master, he only had that position by his birth and family.
In his head and thoughts Eric was just a second-gen useless idiot whose family or father had struck it gold.
"Heheheeheh~! Then I better get inside before I cause some sort of accident right!? Heehheheh~!
Furthermore it seems like my Master is not in the mood for some low quality women!"
With that said, the expert turned around and entered inside while not bothering to wait for the Leader's response or even look at the ugly faces of those outside, especially the ladies.
Having tears but unable to cry!
Who would dare to offend this expert that even their leader had to lower his head for!
…
'Knockk…, knoocckkk…, knoocckkk~!'
It didn't even take more than half an hour, as the door to the Villa was knocked once again, disrupting Eric's thoughts once again.
This time around, it wasn't the driver that came out but Eric's bodyguard that was accompanying him into the shotgun seat while entering the City-State.
The moment that he opened the door he didn't want the opponent to speak or apply pressure to him, as he immediately released the pressure of a Realm 6 expert.
Yes, that's right, this guy was another Realm 6 expert, and differently from the calm and collected pressure of the driver, his was full of killing intent and bloodthirst.
"Wasn't the warning earlier enough to put you in your place!? Do you truly believe that this daddy won't dare to teach you a lesson!?"
"I-I am really sorry to disturb you, honorable guests! I am coming from the Sultan's Palace, and I am here to discuss with you the great business that you claimed to have for our liege, alongside the beauty Aisha!"
The person at the door was a bit startled at first, as he didn't expect that reaction, but as a Realm 6 expert himself he quickly recollected himself and explained his purpose.
'scratch~!'
"Ah~! Sorry for my rude behavior brother, it's just that the kids in this neighborhood are a bit immature and mischievous, disturbing my Master's mood and peace!
We thought that it was them again, courting death!
But please do enter inside, my Master just woke up from his sleep and will meet you by the pool!"
What a big joke! A Realm 6 expert wasn't able to tell who was behind the door, and what was happening in the neighborhood!?
Even a blind person would be able to see the amount of bullshit that was coming out of the bodyguard's mouth, but the envoy didn't say anything.
He understood perfectly that this was the 'guests' way of asserting their strength and power. While they weren't in their home ground, they had nothing to fear!
This was the message that went through without a hitch!
Still, he didn't voice his thoughts and just followed the bodyguard on the way inside, as he made a mental note to give a good beating to those 'mischievous bastards'.
After all, earlier when the bodyguard released his pressure with his killing intent, had caused him a bit of internal discomfort, and while it wasn't much it certainly stung a bit.
…
Inside the pool, Eric was just standing afloat on the water without moving, just enjoying the peace and quiet of the pool.
It took a while for him to open his eyes and look at the envoy and the beauty accompanying the envoy.
Describing her in a single word would be 'Succubus'. She was a devilish redhead with killer curves and natural charm.
Her eyes were just like emerald lakes, filled with playfulness and enchantment, able to suck a man's soul just by looking at them.
She didn't seem afraid of flirting and exposing herself and her body to Eric while seeming to keep a line and distance from him as well.
It looked like the Sultan had sent him a really precious and difficult gift to attain, but there was no word as impossible in Eric's dictionary.
'Aahheemmm~!'
