Chapter 244
When everyone was shocked. Artemis had already walked in front of Locke. She looked at Locke with a smile and said, “Little Locke, didn’t you say that you would have dinner with me? Why did you come out alone?”
Looking at the moody Artemis, Locke felt a chill in his heart. He quickly said to the captain, “Sir, can I leave now?”
“Of course.” The captain came back to his senses and nodded.
“Miss Baldwin, thank you again for your kind words just now.” Locke turned to thank Olinna.
Olinna shook her head and said, “Even without us, Mr. Capet, you can solve it by yourself.”
Locke smiled, did not deny it, and said, “Bye.”
Without any hesitation, Artemis held Locke’s arm and pulled Locke to go out.
Seeing that the two were about to leave, the people around subconsciously made way for them. Soon, the two of them disappeared from everyone’s sight.
“Come on, send Nicholas’ dead body to the imperial guard mansion.” After knowing Locke’s identity, the captain had confidence and ordered his men.
“Unexpectedly, he is Locke Capet.”
The two girls were still in shock until Locke and Artemis disappeared.
Especially the girl who looked down upon Locke’s identity at the beginning, now she felt a little regretful. “If I had known it earlier, I would have taken the initiative.”
“Do you still think you have a chance when you see the girl next to him?”
A girl asked in a low voice.
Hearing this, the girl was slightly stunned and sighed. Quite right, how could he fall in love with them after he had such a beautiful girl?
“Olinna?”
Seeing that Olinna was still in a daze, a girl waved her hand in front of her. Olinna turned around and forced a bitter smile on her face. She had felt pity for Locke Capet just now. Now she realized that she was really stupid.
The news that Nicholas was killed caused a storm of public opinion in King City.
When people knew that it was Locke who had killed Palmer, they all had mixed feelings. Many people speculated that Duke Nicholas would not prepare to give up that easily and would definitely make trouble for Locke.
Some people thought that Locke was now a popular man with a strong background. This time, Duke Nicholas had kicked the iron plate, and he had to endure it no matter how painful it was.
Locke Capet was the one Duke Nicholas can’t afford to mess with.
All eyes were now focused on the duke’s mansion.
On the first day, sharp-eyed people saw that Duke Nicholas’s eyes were red with monstrous anger. He rode the carriage and rushed to the royal palace.
Seeing that Duke Nicholas chose to go to the royal palace the first time, everyone knew that Duke Nicholas was also afraid of the force behind Locke. He intended to tell His Majesty what had happened and let His Majesty decide for him.
However, a few hours later, everyone saw that the carriage of Duke Nicholas slowly drove out of the royal palace.
Compared with the previous period, the carriage was shrouded in a faint sense of depression, and even the coachman was in a low mood.
So everyone was even more surprised and confused.
A day had passed, but there was still no news from the duke’s mansion. On the second day, Duke Nicholas buried Palmer without even having a funeral.
Now people knew that Duke Nicholas lost. And Locke became a hot topic again.
In the next few days, Locke went to the royal palace again, intending to discuss the magic books with King Temple.
When King Temple knew the purpose of Locke’s visit, he cooperated quite well and directly gave orders to several magic academies and martial arts academies in King City, allowing Locke to rub magic books and fighting skills in magic academies and martial arts academies.
At King City Magic Academy.
Thanatos leaned against the jade pillar, and his tattered robe rose slightly in the breeze, adding a hint of unworldly charm to him.
The girls’ eyes shone brightly and inadvertently showed admiration.
The boys also looked at him with admiration, deeply impressed by the temperament of Thanatos.
At this time, the students around seemed to see someone. Their expressions changed and they all approached the wall.
In the distance, a short black figure moved quickly toward this side.
It was an old man. The old man was only about 1.6 meters tall. He looked a little stooped, but he still looked energetic.
Obviously, the students around were very afraid of the short old man.
Soon, the old man arrived in front of Thanatos.
After looking up and down at Thanatos, the old man asked coldly, “Boy, it’s you want our magic books?”
Thanatos slowly raised his eyelids, glanced at the old man indifferently, and then looked away.
Being ignored, the old man didn’t get angry. He stretched out his hand and opened his palm. There was a dark red space ring in his palm. “If you want this space ring, you should fight with me first.”
He couldn’t figure out what was so special about this boy that made Nora so obsessed with him.
He had no longer been in charge of national affairs since many years ago, instead focused on studying magic. In the past two months, he had been studying new dark magic. When he walked out of the practice room, he found that his beloved niece fell in love with a man. What’s more, this man seemed to be very cold and usually gave his niece the cold shoulder.
That was really going too far!
Immediately, he felt that he should teach this man a good lesson!
He didn’t even listen to Nora’s explanation. Instead, he directly imprisoned Nora and came alone to teach Thanatos a lesson.
“Grandpa Becky, he is very powerful. Please don’t provoke him.”
At the thought of Nora’s words, Becky got angry. Was Nora worried that he, a powerful level-7 dark mage, would be injured!
Thanatos frowned slightly and asked, “If I defeat you, will I be able to get the space ring?”
“Defeat me?”
The old man, Becky, was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, “Humph, young man, be modest…”
Then, before he could finish his words, he saw a huge fist swing toward his face.
Bang!
The next moment, Becky was thrown into the air and smashed heavily to the ground in the distance.
There was dead silence in the air.
Looking at the huge human-shaped pit in the distance, the students around couldn’t help but take a deep breath. The level-7 dark mage, the dean of King City Magic Academy, was actually knocked away with one punch!
After dealing with the annoying old man with one punch, Thanatos’s face was as calm as usual, as if what he had just done was a trivial matter. He left the jade pillar, slowly walked to the pit, bent down, and picked up the space ring on the ground.
Then he walked away slowly without looking back, ignoring the students around him who were already stunned to the extreme.
Just then, Becky’s angry voice came from the pit, “Boy, you’ve succeeded in infuriating me!”
As soon as the old man Becky finished speaking, a strong wind suddenly howled, and traces of darkness surrounded all around.
“The dean is angry. Run!”
Feeling the strong and creepy dark element aura, one of the students screamed and then ran crazily into the distance.
In a few seconds, there was no trace of students around.
