Hail the King

Chapter 582: The Son of An Acquaintance

Even a saint would get mad if someone provoked him or her enough, let alone Fei.

After being pressured and provoked by Arshavin and his henchmen multiple times, Fei got mad this time when they tried to accuse him of committing treason. When he spat those words, he didn’t hide his murderous spirit. Although he didn’t name drop Arshavin, his threatening tone was unhidden.

After hearing what Fei said, this mid-aged man lost all hope and froze.

When Fei was speaking, he lightly breathed out and blew onto that golden sword energy. What shocked this intruder was that the golden sword energy that was invincible before got shattered into dust before dispersing into the air. After a few seconds, it felt like it never existed.

At this moment, this mid-aged man realized what the King of Chambord meant with those words, and he understood how powerful this king was.

He knew whom this golden sword energy was from and how powerful it was.

This ultimate trump card was given to him so that he could assassinate the King of Chambord if the timing was right, but now it seemed like their plans and schemes were ridiculous. He felt like they were a few dogs that were trying to kill a holy dragon.

The king’s power was beyond the stretch of their imaginations.

When the king got serious, even the vague aura he showed made this mid-aged man, who was a Moon-Class Elite, feel like a huge mountain was about to crush down on his back.

Indefensible power!

This mid-aged man redefined King Alexander in his mind, and he suddenly felt a little sorry for Crown Prince Arshavin.

“If Zenit’s God of War who is proud right now knows what happened to the King of Chambord’s strength in half a year, he would change his stance without hesitation. From the look of it, this battle he is fighting is meaningless, and he has no chance of winning. If nothing drastic occurs, the outcome of this battle between the prince, who is the most talented commander at Zenit, and the young nobleman, who is rising in the empire the quickest, is already determined.”

This mid-aged man who thought everything through surrendered; he knew the law of the jungle and the fact that absolute power could destroy anything.

When a saint seiya walked over to put the magic handcuffs on him, he didn’t even try to resist. With the king who was a powerful master here, there was no way that he could get out; putting up more resistance was like asking for more humiliation.

“Hand him over to the Justice Department.” Fei waved his hand.

Although he didn’t say anything, he knew that Oleg knew what he wanted. Since this person sneaked into the tightly guarded and protected [City of Heroes], it meant that something went wrong. The loophole needed to be exposed and fixed.

The person behind all this was clear, so no work needed to be done there.

“King of Chambord......”

Before he was dragged away, this mid-aged man looked at Fei and wanted to say something when he passed the king. However, he only sighed in the end.

Before, he thought that this king was an arrogant young man who didn’t know his boundaries. Even though Crown Prince Arshavin told him specifically to be aware and be careful at Chambord, this overly-proud guardian of the Senate disregarded it. In his eyes, even if a king of an affiliated kingdom was talented, he couldn’t do anything without enough resources and guidance.

“A sparrow is going to be a sparrow. How could it jump on a tree and become a phoenix?” he once thought.

Well...... the sparrow did jump on a tree, and it didn’t just become a phoenix; it turned into a terrifying holy dragon!

“Can anyone in the Zenit Empire deal with this powerful young king?” this mid-aged man thought as he was dragged to the prison in the basement of the underground cave.

At the moment, he was really weak. Due to the loss of blood and severe injuries, his face was pale, and his lips turned black. However, the information he just got shocked him more than the bodily injuries he was suffering from.

After thinking through the hidden masters of the empire, he made a shocking discovery. Even if all the masters who belonged to Zenit came out, none of them could overpower this king.

“What this king said is true. If Emperor Yassin doesn’t come out, no one could deal with him. What is also terrifying is that the soldiers of Chambord are looking at this king as if he is a god; even the most devoted believers couldn’t be compared to them. The way they look at him is even scarier than how the soldiers at the [Iron Blood Legion] look at Arshavin.” When he thought back to how the soldiers of Chambord looked at their king, this mid-aged man got fearful. It was easy to imagine that if the king raised his arms and wanted to break away from Zenit, these soldiers would listen to him wholeheartedly. In their minds, the Zenit Empire wasn’t anything.

Soldiers and people in the military knew how terrifying that was, and even regular people could see the issue for Zenit.

“Is it fortunate or unfortunate that the King of Chambord was born in Zenit?” he thought.

......

This small incident was quickly over, and Fei demonstrated to his people how powerful he was. As a result, the saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers worshipped him even more.

Now, they were no longer farmers who could only swing their farm equipment at the invaders on the defense wall. As official soldiers who either obtained warrior energy or on the verge of getting it, they could tell that their king’s strength was broad like the ocean.

As they chanted ‘hail the king’, Fei took out a bottle of [Full Rejuvenation Potion] and healed the injured soldiers himself.

This simple action touched these soldiers even more, and some of them even teared up.

After Fei healed the Three-Star Warrior who silently laid down the magic traps and successfully dragged down that intruder who was a Moon-Class Elite, he asked, “Warrior, tell me your name.”

This young man displayed courage as well as intelligence, leaving a mark on Fei’s mind. Just the impression he gave Fei in those few seconds made the king feel like this young man could be built into something greater, and the king couldn’t stop his love for talent.

“Your Majesty, my name is Ed Hazard, the son of Terry Hazard,” the young man answered excitedly. He didn’t waver when facing the Moon-Class Elite, but his voice shivered when answering the king’s question. It just went to show how much the king weighed in their minds.

“Huh? You are the son of the blacksmith, Old Hazard?” Fei knew this young man’s father.

“Ah?...... Your Majesty...... You...... You know my father?” this young man was surprised, and he felt very honored. He didn’t expect the great king who was very busy to know a poor blacksmith.

“Hahaha! Why wouldn’t I? When we fought the black-armored enemies last autumn, I battled the enemies alongside your father. Your father used a forge hammer and killed six enemies. He lost one of his legs in the battle, and he is a real fighter. Young man, you are even better than your father; you didn’t lose face for him!” Fei said.

He had a great memory, and the battle was the first battle he got involved in after he came to this world so that he could recall it vividly. He still remembered a lot of faces and names of the people who helped with the city’s defense.

Although Fei didn’t realize what this meant to his people, the soldiers all reacted. Being remembered by the king was a great honor!

Not only Ed Hazard, but other saint seiyas and bylaw enforcement officers were motivated by how much the king cared for his people.

The charisma the king showed made the soldiers fall for him more compared to his great strength.
