Chapter 102 Winning the bet
Indeed, anything could happen in this world. Just a few minutes ago, Malina was pale because she was afraid of being kicked out of the clan, but a few minutes later, Madiam and Mavis were the ones worried about losing their honor.
Madiam continuously shook his head, while muttering: "Fake! It's definitely fake! Father, you are old, your eyes are no longer good, you must have been deceived."
"Fool!" Mardian angrily shouted: "Do you dare to say I'm old?"
Mardian was really angry at this moment, he didn't think that Madiam would disrespect him at this moment, and speak ill of him like that.
"I…. I..." Madiam stammered, since he was scared and worried, he couldn't control what he said.
He immediately grabbed Mavis's hand, and screamed: "Mavis, hurry up, save me!" If we lose, we will…"
"Hahahaha… you guys already lost." Alec laughed loudly, his voice filled with contempt: "It's time for you to keep your promise."
"Kneel down, and apologize to Malina!"
Hearing Alec's shout, the other two immediately became more afraid.
Mavis gritted her teeth and said: "I will never apologize to that bitch. She's just the daughter of a prostitute."
"Heh?! So… you don't want to keep your promise?" Alec glanced at Mardian.
Mardian also sighed at this time, he didn't think that Alec would win, however, he had to keep his promise.
This pill was too important, so important that he was willing to give up the honor of his two children.
"You have lost." Mardian sighed and said: "It's time for you to keep your promise."
"No! Father, could it be that because of a pill, you would give up the honor of our family?" Madam screamed.
"Idiots!" Mardian shouted loudly: "The betting was because of you, the rules are also because of you. I asked you if you wanted to continue, and you chose to continue."
"Honor belongs to you, not to the family. Alec is Malina's personal knight, and also a member of our family."
"This is just an internal matter within our family. Since you lost, your honor is lost, it has no impact on the family's honor."
The nobles invited to today's party immediately realized what the old fox Mardian was talking about.
He was indeed very smart, just now he wanted to kick Malina out of the clan, he even supported Madiam and Mavis in selling Malina to another noble.
But, after learning that Alec was a student of an Elder at the Enchanter Tower, and after seeing Alec's gift, Mardian immediately changed the way he spoke.
He also Immediately made Malina and Alec part of the Montague family. However, they also felt that it was the most correct thing to do.
Because whether Mardian lost or won, it was only an internal matter within his family, and it had no effect on the family's honor.
Moreover a knight who was a student of the Fifth Elder had just joined his family. In the end, the winner was Mardian.
Madiam and Mavis naturally understood this things, and this made them feel hopeless and helpless.
At this moment, Madiam suddenly looked towards Alec, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He immediately took out a sword from his space bag and rushed towards Alec.
"Bastard! I will cut you into a hundred pieces!" Madiam screamed as he rushed towards Alec.
When the guests saw this scene, they ran away in terror. However, Alec just looked at Madiam and smiled disdainfully.
He reached behind his back and pulled out the black sword. As soon as that giant sword left his back, a stream of black flames appeared, surrounding the blade.
Madiam saw the black flames surrounding Alec's sword, and felt even more scared. A feeling as if death was looking at him made him want to retreat.
But he could not stop his charge. He just gritted his teeth and rushed towards Alec at top speed.
"Huh! How dare a stupid pig like you swing your sword in front of me?" Alec said contemptuously.
He swung his sword, and a semicircular slash clearly visible in space was sent out.
KANG!
The sound of metal colliding rang out and Madiam's sword was severed, startling him.
However, while he was still dazed, Alec swung his sword and slashed at Madiam's head.
Madiam's eyes opened wide, he didn't think he would be defeated by a beggar like this.
He didn't even think that the beggar he despised just now was about to kill him.
"Wait!!!" Madiam had no time to protest and could only scream miserably.
Whoosh!
The wind whistled, and Alec's sword cut off one of Madiam's arms. That arm flew far away, splashing blood, causing the nobles standing nearby to quickly scatter.
"AA!! My hand! My hand! AAA!!!" Madiam cried out in pain and despair: "Father! Save me! Save me! Please!"
Mardian then sighed and said: "Alec, if you give me a little honor, let them go, okay?"
"Huh!" Alec snorted in contempt: "What if Malina is the loser? Would you defend her?"
"Now, your son has failed, and you're defending him. Hahahaha… if you are so unfair, I will kill this idiot, then kill all your children, so that you have no one to defend."
"Don't worry, I will let Malina live. Of course, she will live well to see you struggling as i kill you."
"Hahahaha…"
Mardian was so angry that his face turned red, like a volcano that was about to erupt.
However, just a few seconds later, his face returned to normal, he sighed and said: "Yes, you're right. I was wrong, you can give me a price to keep Madiam and Mavis."
Alec smirked: "Good! I won't make things difficult for you either. In the next 5 years, all the resources you allocated to these two pigs will be transferred to Malina."
Mardian didn't need to ask Madiam and Mavis for their opinions because he knew they would accept this simple condition at this point.
"Good! I agree!" Mardian said.
Alec smiled, swung his leg, and kicked Madiam in the stomach. The kick was so strong that it sent Madiam flying back more than 5 meters before stopping.
Mardian then sighed, turned to the guests, and said loudly: "Gentlemen... ladies... today's party is over, everyone please leave. I will apologize to everyone for today's trouble."
"Thank you everyone for coming."
The nobles looked at Mardian, then at each other, and finally left the hall. Although They knew that everything wasn't over, only family members will be able to know what happens next.
After everyone left, Mardian looked towards Alec and said: "Malina, Alec, you guys come to my office, I need to talk to you for a bit."
"Mavis, take Madiam for treatment, the arm that was just cut off still has a chance to be reattached. Call the best healing magician, no matter how much it costs."
"Yes!" Mavis quickly bowed her head and said, not daring to raise her head to look at Mardian and Alec, as she felt extremely embarrassed and angry.
However, as soon as Alec's power appeared, everyone was afraid. With just one move, Madiam was defeated, and Madiam was a level 20 swordsman.
That's enough to show how powerful Alec is.
…
Inside Mardian's office, he sat on the sofa, opposite Malina and Alec.
The two of them sat next to each other. If Mardian didn't know that Alec was Malina's personal knight, he would have thought they were lovers.
"Malina, Alec, your performance is very good today." Mardian said smiling.
Hearing that, Alec and Malina were extremely surprised. They also thought that Mardian would definitely get angry and curse at them. They even thought that Mardian would try to negotiate to lower the 'stake level'.
However, what Mardian said was a compliment to Alec and Malina.
"Hahahaha… you probably feel weird that I'm praising you, right." Mardian explained with a smile.
"After all, my family has many people. Even though I am the head of the family, I still have to listen to the words of the Elders. I alone cannot decide everything."
Mardian said while sighing: "In fact, Malina… I really want to let you have more than 1,000 gold coins a month."
"However, the Elders did not allow that to happen. That's why I can only..."
Mardian fell silent mid-sentence. He stared at Malina, his eyes begging for her understanding.
Malina also smiled and said: "Father, I understand the difficulties you are enduring."
"Hahahaha… you are truly my good daughter." Mardian nodded and smiled: "However, thanks to this bet, I can give you more. Malina, consider this my compensation for being late, is that okay?"
"Father, we are family, don't talk like that. You will always be my father." Malina's eyes were wet,she felt so happy that she cried.
"Wait!" Alec suddenly spoke, he asked in confusion: "Madiam and Mavis are also your children, don't you feel angry for them?"
Mardian heard that and shook his head: "You misunderstood. Madiam and Mavis are indeed my children, however, recently, their ambitions have been too great."
"You also heard when Madiam lost his temper, he said I was old, right?"
Alec nodded.
Mardian continued: "That's why, I also want to use this opportunity to warn them."
Hearing that, Alec felt that this wasextremely reasonable and undeniable.
"Good! The bet… you and Malina have won it, I will fulfill my promise perfectly. The Elders cannot resist me, after all, other nobles have already testified to this bet."
After he finished speaking, he took out a small card with two medals from his space bag.
"Malina…" Mardian smiled kindly and said: "This is something I wanted to do for a long time."
He gave a badge to Malina and said: "This is the badge of the Montague family. With it, from now on, you have become an official member of the family."
"Father…" Malina could not control her tears and cried loudly: "Thank you, thank you… father…"
"Hahaha… my daughter, don't cry. This is what you should have had." Mardian now looked towards Alec and asked: "Alec, although it's a bit sudden, do you really want to become Malina's personal knight?"
"Hahaha… of course. Malina… I will protect her." Alec said firmly.
Mardian nodded: "I am reassured. This is your badge, with this badge, you are a member of the Montague family. Of course, you will also enjoy the benefits that a member of the family can enjoy."
"And here…" Mardian gave Alec a small card: "This is the admission letter to Karol Magic Academy."
