Chapter 442 Sometimes You Just Need To Threaten Someone
Chapter 442 Sometimes You Just Need To Threaten Someone
-----
"I am Chad, and this is Belle my wife, and Aria, my daughter." Said Shade.
"I am their good friend, Ninhursag. And this is my son, Julio." Said Ninhursag, she didn't thought about a name for herself, but gave a very funny name to Zack which really didn't suited him.
The Lord and the other nobles analyzed our entire group as we walked and sat down near the table without even waiting for the invitation.
"A-And who might you be?" Asked the Lord, clearly enraged but containing his fury, as he looked at Mary and Mist.
He was probably screaming internally that two Demons just stepped into his house like nothing.
Mary seemed nervous and couldn't muster words, while Mist looked completely lost, and ended beginning to eat a big cake slice a butler swiftly served to her after she sat down.
"Yummy!" She said with a low voice.
"I-I… W-We are…" Mary was sweating nervously.
"She's Mary, the nun of the orphanage you attempted to raid, and this is Mist, a representative of the children of the orphanage." Said my mother. "Now, Lord Eastgrain, let's break formalities and go directly to the point. If you want to keep threatening these people, we'll kill you."
"H-Hoh…"
Lord Eastgrain gave a completely flabbergasted smile as his neck went several centimeters back in shock. However, somehow, he kept himself stable.
"A-A pregnant woman threatens of death. Do you know what you're messing with, Lady Faye? S Rank Adventurer or not-"
"What's more important to you? Slaving some children or your life?" My mother wondered.
"Ngh?!" The Lord was shocked. The other fatty men were so surprised and about to pass out of the horror of my mother's presence that they were completely silent. Even the butler and the maids were all trembling behind the door.
"O-Of course, my life… Okay, let's calm down for now. We don't really need to begin with threats!" Said the Lord.
"Of course we have to, you just attempted to take away those precious to us." My father said. "Call me an emotional man, but I cannot forgive you so easily, Lord Eastgrain. In this world, political power might be quite important, but against absolute strength, there is nothing a nation can do against S Rank Adventurers. Why do you think that they always bribe us so much into trying to join them?"
"Y-You're suggesting us to apologize to you peasants?!" Asked one of the nobles angrily.
"S Rank or not, you're lower than us in this society! I-If you don't adjust to our norms, then you're welcome to go away from our city!" A second one happily said.
"I see, so you all seek death." Shade added.
"Hyyeeee!"
Shade's eyes turned red; the nobles cried in horror.
"Calm down now, everyone." My mother said. Although she was the first one to threaten them to death, she seemed to have had some plans in mind. "Let us first reach some understanding of the situation."
"You're the first one that threatened me in person!" Said the Lord furiously.
"Yes, and that threat is still on. For you humans who are as wild as beasts, what's better than threaten you? If you don't have awareness of the frailness of your lives, you always get ahead of yourselves and act like you own the world." My mother said angrily. "Just like that man said, you have to understand your position."
"I…"
Lord Eastgrain felt like he was despairing.
Everything suddenly went silent, as he mustered some words.
"I… I apologize for the order I have given to my soldiers. I have falsely accused the orphanage with demons due to my own superstitions. Of course, there is also some partial blame to all the gentlemen here." He not only apologized but at the same time blamed the others as well.
"I see. We don't really want to change your perspective of the world, or even try to convince you that your view on life is completely wrong and sickening. We only want a single thing, to let us alone. We'll pick the orphanage and the people inside, and then we'll leave. You don't even need to see us ever again." My father said.
"Eh? T-That's all?" The Lord asked, suddenly sighing in relief. "You should had said that earlier…"
"Of course, we want every demon or beast-kin being discriminated with us as well." Said my mother.
"Eh?!"
"You're getting a bit too ahead of yourselves!"
"All of them?!"
"Are you saints or something? why do you care about these filthy monsters? Traitors of humanity!"
"Silence." My mother said, her Aura alone suddenly exerted so much pressure that all the men in front of us fell to the ground pathetically and began to breathe heavily.
"You're not in the position to talk. As someone who has lived for over six hundred years do you truly believe I have the patience to hear your foolish, childish, and ignorant words?" Asked my mother. "Alas, I've committed mistakes that somehow would put me close to you scum, which only pains me more… However, I am trying to make a change, even if small, perhaps to redeem myself and become someone my daughter can be proud of."
FLASH!
Her aura quickly dissipated, freeing everybody. The nobles decided to not talk a single word anymore. It seems that the third time finally worked on these stubborn pigs.
The Lord was the only allowed to speak, and he was gasping for air. The shock of being confronted with people so powerful he could only despair against them was too much for him. He seemed quite strong though, but against my parents and Aquarina's parents, he was less than an ant.
It felt as if he was a small bug, smaller than an ant itself sitting right below their fingertips, with a mere move, they could crush him to death in a split of a second. He had to pick his words carefully.
"V-Very well, you can take anybody you want… Just please leave this place and never come back again… I-I can even give you money, anything!" He said desperately. It seems he was finally knowing his place in the "food chain".
At the end, I guess brute force can sometimes really resolve problems and conflicts…
