Chapter 846 - Marcus Worries

Chapter 846 - Marcus' Worries

Landon shot a pebble towards Marcus’ legs, making him drop on one knee.

Bam.

What?

Marcus’ men were very shocked and confused as well.

’Master, why are you kneeling?

Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t?

So why are you going back on your words now?

Master, a man shouldn’t be so wimpy, right?’

Their faces turned red with shame, as they believed that they had lost face after belittling these people.

How embarrassing.

Wasn’t the counterattack too fast?

They looked around awkwardly and tried to remain as tough as they could.

Of course, these men didn’t know why their master fell.

But the Baymardians knew precisely why.

Previously, as Landon spoke with his hands behind his back, he began giving signals to them.

He also gave several eye signals too.

And just like that, he got a few pebbles in his hands.

He flickered one towards his enemy’s right knee and kept the rest in his hands just in case.

Marcus gritted his teeth in fury.

Even though he couldn’t prove it, he was sure that these bastards were playing dirty.

The pain he felt in his knees was so great that he had several seconds to steady his heart and breathing.

But to others, they assumed that he was shaking from fear instead.

And the more he knelt, the more convinced they were.

But what could he do?

His knee felt so heavy and painful that he had no choice but to continue kneeling.

When he saw Landon’s sarcastic smirk, he was sure that they had played dirty here.

He looked around the floor and saw no arrows or hidden weapons.

So how did they attack him?

.

He wanted to show his men the weapon and back up his claim when he told them about it.

But he saw nothing.

What made him feel teary-eyed was that the imp might actually be using him to increase his reputation.

One should know that after the age of 20, he had never knelt before any monarch, talk less of the nobles.

He reached a grand level at age 20 and was respected by all.

The most he would do was bow his head gently.

And even those that he bowed to needed to be the most powerful of people.

Not just anyone can receive a bow from him.

So one can imagine his prestige around these parts.

Yet here he was, kneeling before a brat who wasn’t even close to how powerful his father was.

If word went out, Landon’s reputation would go up.

But here’s the thing.

His high and mighty reputation would fall instead.

Why?

Because people would begin to doubt his judgement and vision.

And quite frankly, they would feel insulted.

Particularly, the prominent monarchs in the continent of Morgany would begin to resent him secretly.

Before Baymard became a hot empire, Morgany was the most advanced.

And people paid hefty prices for love potions, aphrodisiacs, makeup, rum, armoury and so on.

They were the real people who depicted fashion and everything else.

It was essential to know that 9/10th of people from Pyno and Veinitta originated from the Morgany empire thousands and thousands of years ago when they left Morgany to occupy these continents.

That’s why their languages were so similar.

For centuries, Morgany has been the most advanced amongst the three continents.

And their monarchs were far more powerful than those here.

That said, Marcus had never knelt before them.

So they would undoubtedly see it as an insult if they found out that he knelt before Landon who owned a puny empire.

At this point, everything that he has worked hard for would be ruined!

Most of the resources used to keep his army were awarded to him by prominent and influential monarchs and nobles.

So if they decide not to get his service anymore because of their resentment, then what will he do?

Not to mention that his enemies would use this opportunity to ride over his head and trample him to the mud.

Dammit.

He couldn’t let the word spread out.

He secretly decided that apart from his ten main bodyguards, the other 80 who came with him had to die.

He didn’t care if Landon and his people spread the word because he could always deny it.

But if his men spread the word accidentally, then his fate was sealed.

When it concerned his reputation and army, he could do anything!

.

Marcus clenched his teeth and forced himself to stand.

Even though most of his men would die after today, he still didn’t want them to think that he was a wimp.

"How dare you secretly attack this noble?

Are you trying to pick a fight?"

Marcus’ men instantly understood.

So their master was attacked?

No wonder!

They looked at these cowardly Baymardians coldly as if they couldn’t wait to rip them apart.

"You say that we attacked you.

But can you prove it?

If you can’t, then don’t sully my good name without any evidence!"

"You, you, you.

I know that you did it."

"Mr. Marcus, what are you talking about?

How come I don’t understand?

Do you think that I’ll attack a famous and mighty person like yourself here?

Isn’t that just inviting trouble?" Landon said innocently.

His expression was spot-on that even Marcus’ men wondered if their master was wrong or not.

There’s no need to be so worked up.

For Landon, he was only calm now because he wanted to get to the root of the matter.

There was no need being forceful now, and then ending up not getting any information.

It was always best to let people think that they had the upper hand so that they could reveal all their cards.

He smiled innocently and seemed very approachable, making people think that he was weak and beneath their level.

Marcus picked up the key points in Landon’s speech and concluded that he wouldn’t dare to make a move on him here.

Good!

It looks like he knew what was good for him.

Now, he could relay hos orders to this son of a b**ch at ease.

Landon secretly rolled his eyes heavenwards and continued smiling innocently.

"Mr. Marcus, why don’t we go in and talk?"

"Hmph!

Now you know how to invite me in?

Fortunately for you, I’m kind-hearted.

So let’s go.

Well, what are you waiting for?

Lead the way!"
