Chapter 242
Chapter 242
After throwing Palmer down, Locke jumped off the rooftop and landed in front of Palmer. He stared at Palmer who was struggling on the ground with a faint smile.
Looking at the weird smile on Locke’s face, the people around all shivered, and even Palmer felt a chill on his back.
“Don’t be impulsive. Behind Palmer is the Nicholas family. It won’t do you any good!” Although she was shocked by Locke’s strength, Olinna quickly came to her senses and reminded him.
“Thank you. I know.” Locke nodded with a smile.
Seeing this, Olinna breathed a sigh of relief. Palmer provoked first. To a certain extent, the young man’s behavior in front of her was self-defense. As long as it was clear, the imperial guards would not embarrass him.
However, the next moment, her pupils trembled slightly.
It turned out that the young man had already raised his foot and stepped directly on Palmer’s face.
At the same time, Palmer’s body shined again, forming a defensive shield to block Locke’s feet.
Looking at the light curtain on Palmer, a sneer flashed on Locke’s face, and the speed on his feet was even faster.
Boom!
A crack suddenly appeared on the light curtain, and then it broke into pieces like glass. Locke’s shoe soles once again intimately touched Palmer’s face.
Crack.
A crisp sound of broken bones sounded in everyone’s ears.
“Ah~”
Palmer let out a shrill scream.
After the kick, Locke slowly lifted his foot and then stepped heavily on it again.
Bang!
Bang!
After three consecutive steps, Palmer’s head had sunk deep into the ground.
The originally terrified scream had now completely calmed down, and the people around were also stunned.
The whole scene fell into silence.
Damn it…
Looking at Palmer, who had been completely immersed in the underground with only his body on the ground, Olinna’s face darkened.
She could feel that although Palmer was still breathing, he was very weak as if he would die at any time. More horribly, the dark magic element on Palmer was slowly fading away.
Obviously, this young man had ruined Palmer’s strength!
For a practitioner, to a certain extent, strength was more important than life. Even if the imperial guards didn’t hold the young man accountable for this matter, Duke Nicholas would never let him go.
Looking at Locke’s satisfied face, Olinna’s face turned complicated. She moved her throat and said, “You’d better leave now. Run as far as you can.”
“Is this guy a prince?” Locke asked a question that confused Olinna.
“No.” Olinna shook her head and continued, “But he’s not much worse than the prince.”
“That’s all right.” Locke shook his head and said in a relaxed tone, “This morning, an old man gave me a token, he seemed to say that even if I killed the prince, I would be fine.”
Hearing Locke’s words, not only Olinna but also the people around him were stunned.
They thought Locke was crazy!
“It’s okay to beat the prince to death? What nonsense is this talking about?”
“Alas, how could a person lose his mind?”
“Now I suddenly have some sympathy for Master Nicholas. He had his eye on a madman and was beaten like this by the madman.”
Just as everyone was sighing, a burst of noisy footsteps came from the outside of the crowd. The long-overdue imperial guards finally arrived.
The captain of the imperial guards was a level-6 practitioner. With a wave of his hand, his men quickly surrounded Locke and the dying Palmer.
One of the team members performed several healing skills on Palmer on the ground.
Then he dug Palmer out of the ground.
The captain looked at the person who was embedded in the ground and wanted to confirm his identity, but unfortunately, he only saw a bloody face, so he could not see his appearance clearly. However, he felt that the person in front of him was a little familiar. When he saw the logo of the Nicholas family, which was dyed red with blood, his eyes narrowed.
Was he Palmer?
“Are you the perpetrator?”
Looking at Locke, the captain asked seriously. If it was really Palmer who was hurt, it would be difficult to deal with.
Locke nodded without any nervousness on his face. “I wanted to appreciate the prosperity of King City, but it’s a pity that someone came to look for trouble. I was kind enough to help you teach this rubbish.”
Looking at Locke who was talking, the captain couldn’t help but hesitate. He had dealt with a lot of fighting matters. Facing the imperial guards, whether the rich or the ordinary people, everyone was only obsequious. After all, the imperial guard was the army directly under the king to manage King City.
However, the young man in front of him was too calm.
The captain took a look at Palmer on the ground and then looked at Olinna. After saluting, he asked, “Miss Baldwin, do you know what happened?”
Olinna looked at Locke suspiciously. She always felt that the young man in front of her should not be that kind of arrogant person. If he could be so calm, did he really have any reliance?
“It’s almost the same as what this sir said. Palmer is making trouble for him first.”
It was Palmer!
The captain’s face became more serious. No matter what the reason was, it was definitely a big deal that the son of a duke was beaten to be disabled.
“Sir, it’s a matter of great importance. We hope you can come with us. If you are worried that we will bend the law because of Master Nicholas’s status, please rest assured. As His Majesty’s guard, we will absolutely uphold justice.” Said the captain.
“I’m sorry.”
Locke shook his head and said, “Although I really want to get a glimpse of the imperial guards of King City, my friend is waiting for me to have dinner, so I’m afraid I don’t have time to go to the imperial guards.”
Hearing this, the captain’s face changed slightly, and the eyes of his subordinates also turned cold. As long as the captain gave the order, they would suddenly launch an attack and capture Locke.
