Chapter 90 Betting
Suddenly, a voice broke the tense atmosphere.
Lilith wearing a black dress suddenly appeared from the air, her long legs gently landing on the ground like a feather.
She carried an angelic beauty, making everyone silent, completely forgetting what was happening, overwhelming Malina's beauty.
Lilith landed gently, then walked to Lathel with a sulky face, her hands on her hips, her cheeks puffed out, her expression extremely adorable.
"Lathel, you… heh?! Alec, what are you doing?"
Lilith suddenly stopped walking, her face looking surprised at the scene before her eyes.
Alec was holding Lathel's collar, his expression extremely angry, as if he wanted to tear Lathel to pieces.
Lathel with an innocent and pitiful face was looking at her, praying for rescue. Of course, this thought was just Lilith's imagination.
In fact, Lathel was very calm at this moment, he even felt indifferent to what was happening.
After all, Alec and Lathel had signed a peace contract. Lathel thought that no matter how stupid Alec was, she couldn't harm him.
However, Lilith didn't seem to remember that, or one could say, she didn't care about that at all.
BAM!
Lilith's murderous aura radiated out, turning into a hurricane that blew out around her. The terrible pressure was like an invisible mountain pressing down on everyone.
"Alec… what are you doing?" Lilith said, her voice filled with coldness.
Alec was blown away by the hurricane, hit a pillar and fell. When he raised his head and was about to scold Lilith, he was afraid.
Medos spoke up now, whispering to Alec: "Alec, don't get excited, you are not her opponent."
Alec clenched his teeth, of course he knew that. But he was angry, she always protected Lathel, making him extremely uncomfortable.
Malina was also extremely scared at this time, leaning her back against the wall to avoid falling on the ground.
Too terrifying, just a single stream of murderous aura made everyone tremble, and even that murderous aura turned into a cold hurricane.
Alec took a deep breath and tried to calmly say: "Teacher, do you want to protect him?"
"That's right." Lilith said directly: "You and he are both my students. You beat him, I beat you."
"He hit you, I hit you too."
Alec: "…"
Malina: "…"
Everybody: "..."
This... is a bit unfair. Of course, no one dared to speak up to demand justice for Alec, after all they valued their lives.
"Teacher…" Alec gritted his teeth and said: "You are too unfair. I am also your student, why don't you defend me and always take his side?"
Hearing that, Lilith withdrew her murderous aura, everyone felt their bodies lighten and breathed a sigh of relief.
Malina was also much more comfortable at this time, her eyes looking towards Lilith were full of fear but also full of anger and jealousy.
Lilith looked at Alec and said: "Alec, you have good talent, great potential, and great strength."
Hearing that, Alec stood up and smiled confidently: "Yes, but why..."
"Alec, you listen to me…" Lilith sighed and said: "Lathel is different, he doesn't have talent, he doesn't have great potential like you."
"If we were a family, Lathel would be like the weak youngest brother. We need to protect and love him, right?"
Alec: "…"
After listening, he scratched his head, feeling both right and wrong. However, he didn't know what was wrong.
The people around who heard Lilith speak also nodded, feeling quite reasonable.
Malina now walked to Alec's side, smiled politely and said: "First meeting, Fifth Elder, I am..."
"Not interested!" Lilith raised her chin, pouted, her expression was extremely adorable.
Hearing that, Malina immediately fell silent. She thought that the Fifth Elder was a girl and would definitely sympathize with her.
Malina was very upset in her heart, but she still maintained a polite smile and calmly said: "Fifth Elder, you listen to me, I am…"
"I said I don't care, why do you talk so much?" Lilith started to feel uncomfortable.
Malina: "…"
Seeing that the situation was a bit wrong, Alec clasped his hands and said politely: "Teacher, she is... no, her family just adopted me, please respect her."
"Heh?!" Lilith was startled, looked at Alec and said: "But as far as I know... you just insulted the person who adopted Lathel, so why should I respect that girl."
"I…" Alec wanted to say something but Lilith said it so logically, he couldn't refute.
Just like Lilith said, Alec doesn't respect others, so why would he ask others to respect him?
"Teacher, Malina is different from the pig from before. She is the daughter of Marquis Mardian M. Montague, do you know how noble the Marquis is?" Alec tried to find a more convincing reason.
Lilith pouted and was about to say something when a laugh rang out.
"Hahahaha… that's so funny…" Lusha wearing a black cloak suddenly appeared, flying high above.
Alec saw Lusha, his eyes filled with murderous intent. In his mind, it was because of her that he was humiliated by a small library janitor today.
"What the hell are you laughing at?" Alec shouted.
Lusha laughed and said: "Hehehe... I laugh because you are so stupid, do you think... the Marquis is very noble?"
She spoke with a very cunning expression on her face, as if the world weren't in chaos then she wouldn't feel happy.
Lathel saw Lusha appear and held her forehead, feeling an extremely painful headache. It was just a small matter, he didn't understand why so many people appeared.
Could it be that... because the main character is here, it attracts many important characters to appear?
"Okay, it's just a small matter, everyone just pretend that nothing happened." Lathel sighed and said, his voice was extremely calm, but mixed within that calmness was a bit of fatigue.
"Are not!" Alec suddenly shouted: "I want to know who adopted him."
Lathel: ( ￣ ￣ |||)
At this moment, Lathel felt like Alec was more like the villain, and he was more like the main character.
[Ding! Please revoke the thought of stealing the main character's position.]
'Known! Known! Don't remind me so much.' Lathel said silently in her heart.
In fact, he feels that being a supporting character is sometimes very good. No need to face many troubles, nor need to carry heavy responsibilities.
Lathel sighed: "Why are you so stubborn, is it important?"
"Of course it's very important." Lilith put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, frowned and said.
Lathel: ( ￢ _ ￢ ;)
Lusha now laughed loudly: "Hahahaha... so interesting, so interesting... Lathel, you tell him who adopted you."
"Ack! I..." Lathel scratched his head, in fact he didn't care who the person who adopted him was or what position he had.
He just needs to know whether that person respects and treats him well or not, that's enough.
"I really don't know what that person's identity is…" Lathel said tiredly.
"It's okay…" Lusha replied: "Look on your ID card, there is the identity of the person who adopted you."
Lathel sighed: "Is this necessary?"
Lusha laughed loudly: "Of course, look at Alec, he is in a hurry to know the identity of the person who adopted you."
Malina suddenly felt a little nervous because she is also a smart girl.
She knew that if the other person knew that her father was the Marquis but still didn't worry, it would mean that Lathel's adoptive status would be equal to that of the Marquis, or even higher.
Malina grabbed Alec's sleeve and said pitifully: "Alec, don't mess with them anymore, let's go."
"Are not!" Alec said angrily: "Malina, don't worry. I don't believe that pig has a higher position than Marquis."
He used his index finger, pointed at Lathel, and said loudly: "Lathel, if the person who adopted you has a higher title than the Marquis, I will give up."
"If that person has a lower title than Marquis, you lose."
"Ah! Bet?" Lusha now smiled like a devil, like a monster that had just found its prey: "Great... what if you lose?"
"Lose? Will I lose?" Alec laughed: "If I lose, I will give him a 5-star pill."
"Heh?! Do you have a 5 pill?" Lusha said contemptuously.
"Of course…" Alec said as he took out the four space bags and took out a small white porcelain vase and said: "Inside this vase contains 3 drops of 'Original Spirit Water'. Every drop is as precious as a 5-star pill."
"Is this one bottle… enough?"
Malina saw the small porcelain bottle in Alec's hand, thinking that inside was probably some kind of ordinary medicine.
But when she heard Alec explain, inside 'Original Spirit Water', she was startled and quickly said: "Alec, stop. 'Original Spirit Water' is very precious, it's even more precious than some 6-star pharmaceuticals."
"Don't worry…" Alec waved his hand, blocking Malina's words: "I believe he will definitely lose."
Lathel then shook her head and said: "I don't have anything valuable to bet with you."
"No… I don't need you to use anything precious to bet with me." Alec said contemptuously: "I just... if you lose, kneel in front of the Enchanter Tower gate for 3 days. Every person who enters the Enchanter Tower, you must say 'I am a dog'."
Suddenly, right after Alec finished speaking, the surrounding space became cold, the murderous aura was so terrible that it made him sweat.
"Alec… Lathel is my student…" Lilith spoke up.
Hearing that, Alec gritted his teeth and said: "Teacher, this is between me and him. I hope you won't interfere."
"You…"
"Good! We accept." Lusha spoke up, interrupting Lilith's words.
Lathel was startled and raised his head to look at her: "Lusha, stop causing trouble, I can't win against him."
"Heh?! Why do you think like that, do you… do you also look down on Ryne in your heart?" Lusha pouted and said.
Lathel shook her head: "No, I just don't want to make things more complicated."
"Hehehe… even if you don't want to, do you think he will let you go?"
Hearing that, Lathel glanced at Alec, then sighed again. He didn't understand why Alec was so stubborn. This bet, whether he or Alec won, was not good.
If he wins, Alec will consider him an enemy, thus, his peaceful days will also disappear.
If he lost, things would get even worse.
"Good! Don't waste time." Alec shouted: "Lathel, bring out your ID card."
Lathel looked at Alec, then at Lusha's extremely calm expression. Finally, he had to take out his ID card for everyone to see.
Of course, above there is only some basic information about him, but on the back of the card there is also a small line of text.
' Guardian: Duchess - Karoline K. Ryne. '
