Chapter 73 Surrounded By Geniuses
Chapter 73 Surrounded By Geniuses
?Ezra's eyes rippled for a moment as he looked at the sexy girl in black before him. However, almost no change could be detected on his face as he nodded and said in a calm voice, "Oh."
Emily Jomez was a little taken aback by the prince's indifference, but fury soon flashed in the depths of her eyes.
The group of guys behind the princess of the fallen kingdom were extremely dissatisfied with Ezra's attitude, their tone hostile as they chided, "You are one danmed arrogant kid, why are you still not begging for forgiveness after killing Miss Emily's father?!"
The thug like the way they spoke was rather inconsistent with their faint air of nobility. Together with the strong spiritual energy that rippled around their bodies, these characteristics made it painfully obvious that they were the so-called 'prided geniuses'.
Emily revealed a heartbroken look at this moment as she softly said, "Don't be angry everyone, there must be some misunderstanding between our friend Prince Ezra Zephyr and my father King Meulo Jomez which led to such an outcome. My father only has himself to blame for his death."
However, that appearance of hers only made them glare even harder at the Bloodfang duo.
The prince indifferently watched this scene play out as if he was a bystander, this girl's methods were superb. From the way she handled this group of geniuses, it was more than likely that they would fight to offer her the moon and the stars.
Salom Uqually continued to rotate the golden balls in his hand as looked towards Ezra Zephyr and said in a gentle voice, "My friend, whatever grudge you guys have with the Meulo Jomez is not important. Since you have already killed him, let it end at that."
The prince of werewolves raised his eyebrows but did not say anything. He knew that Salom was not finished.
Sure enough, the 2nd branch genius of the Uqually clan paused for a moment before continuing, "But the land of humans, Tribbain Kingdom should be returned to Emily Jomez as she is the true heir to the throne."
Salom smiled slightly as he stared at Ezra. "Emily has told me that as long as you return their kingdom, she will generously let bygones be bygones. If you feel that I am worthy, I can help resolve the grudge between the two of you and allow enemies to become friends."
Theor could not help but laugh. "These fellows were after our kingdom," said he.
However, the cities have already been organised by Bloodfang. Even the people accepted them as their true rulers, they were dreaming if they believed that he would hand it over.
Ezra smiled and asked, "Is that why you purposely raised the bid earlier?"
Salom Uqually was momentarily stunned, but soon responded in an uninterested tone, "It's just a few spiritual crystals, I can repay you if you're upset."
A slight hint of mockery could be seen from the corners of his mouth, evidently secretly thinking how typical of a prince from a lowly remote kingdom to be so upset over a mere several hundred thousand spiritual crystals.
"No need, there may be a chance for me to get them back in the future." The werewolf prince shook his head, his tone cool and calm. His black attire made him fearsome.
Salom may believe that his actions during the auction were just a little lesson for Ezra, but the latter's principle was that every action had a consequence.
Simply returning the money was not going to be so easy. Ezra stared at Salom and Emily and slowly said, "I can't be bothered to elaborate on the Meulo Jomez and his companions' dirty deeds, but they did try to conquer our remaining Bloodfang Kingdom. If not for our resourcefulness, our fates would be rather grim.
Therefore, I'm afraid that the likes of you are still not enough to resolve our grudge. As for the territory of destroyed Tribbain Kingdom of Miss Emily, it was always ours, to begin with, don't even dream that we'll return it."
They lost many precious lives for the conquest. Salom must have a crazily high opinion about himself if he believed that it would be returned with a single sentence from him.
Salom Uqually and Emily Jomez's expressions finally changed.
The 2nd branch genius's expression was now as dark as a storm as he asked, "Does this mean that you are not giving me face?"
"Do you really think you deserve so much face?" Theor said, he was angry.
Although they were currently in Guardians of Continent territory and Salom Jomez was the 2nd branch genius, matters between the younger generation were settled by the younger generation.
Hence, Salom would not be able to use the power of the Uqually clan against them.
If he did, it was not like they did not have their own backers. No one would be the winner once the situation degenerated into a battle between numerous factions.
Without the power of the Uqually clan, Ezra naturally did not fear Salom Uqually.
"Impudent, a mere prince from a tiny kingdom dares to be so insolent in such a place?"
The geniuses behind Emily sneered in succession. They knew the duo's background and strength and thus did dare to pit themselves against them.
Hence, they barred their fangs at Ezra, a blue robed young man nearest to Emily ominously said, "Humph, a mere ant with grade 3 martial spirit dares to be so arrogant. Aren't you afraid of being slaughtered after entering the Spirity Bailiwick?"
This person was called Cen Zutton, and was likewise a prided genius from one of the influential clans in the Naran Continent. In the group, his strength was likely only second to Salom Uqually and Emily Jomez.
Ezra Zephyr smiled as he gazed at these geniuses, a smile that was overflowing with eerie iciness and sheer evilness. "We will have to enter the Spirity Bailiwick first to see who gets slaughtered." The group of geniuses shot glares over.
Emily's face was somewhat ugly, but this was quickly remedied by her as she sighed softly and said, "It seems that my Tribbain Kingdom has indeed greatly offended this honourable friend. Why else would you refuse to give a face to even the genius of Uqually clan's 2nd branch and the rest of these amazing talents."
Ezra swept a cold smile at her, this woman was good, her seemingly simple words had further deepened the enmity between him and the geniuses beside her.
"Woman, you are being rather unreasonable." However, a voice suddenly sounded out from aside at this moment. The crowd looked, only to find that it was the well dressed Bipasha Uqually.
She was currently in appealing clothes, and her face was still unparallelled in the looks department.
Even though Salom Uqually and the rest were pretty decent themselves, they instantly dimmed in comparison to Bipasha.
Emily's eyes brightened slightly at the sight of Bipasha, such an alluring pretty woman was truly rare. However, her expression soon turned a little rigid due to Bipasha's words.
Bipasha slowly walked as she spoke, "The territory of Tribbain Kingdom was indeed conquered by Bloodfang Kingdom. If you want it back, there's no need to use these tricks to incite these fools. The Spirity Bailiwick is about to open, and when it does, feel free to throw everything you have at the prince of Bloodfang. You will be able to take it back if you have the ability.
Of course, any action you take will be accompanied by the price. If you fail to snatch it back, no one can be blamed for what happens in the end." Towards the end, Bipasha's words gave off a sliver of iciness that made one involuntarily shiver.
Emily stared at Bipasha and then pivoted her eyes towards Ezra, the prince made a grave face as he dished out the final few words. "If you want to play, I will gladly keep you company."
The atmosphere became rather silent all of a sudden, everyone stunned by Ezra's words. He had already made things very clear, don't dream of the treasure being returned. If they wanted to snatch it, bring it on, but make sure to be prepared for the consequences.
Emily's pretty face was a blend of green and white. Over the years, she had used her looks to make every male she met grovel under her skirt. Who could have imagined that she would be exposed by an older female who was even prettier than herself? This truly made her feel humiliated.
Salom's expression was also rather ugly, he had not expected that the direct descendent of the 1st branch would take his stance.
Fools? She had said that geniuses like them were fools?
Fury surged in his heart, but surprisingly, Salom did not say anything in response. He knew that messing with direct lineage will only end his future endeavours, a 2nd branch member will always remain a 2nd branch member.
Anger also festered in the hearts of the other geniuses, but they too did not say anything. However, the gazes that looked towards Ezra grew even more hostile. It was obvious that they had pushed all of their rages onto the prince of Bloodfang.
Zhou Zephyr smiled at Bipasha as he gave her a thumbs-up in his heart.
These words were really too domineering. What were these fellows that had been silenced by a single girl if not fools?
"Hehe, what a domineering young man" While everyone was silent, a charmingly lovely chuckle was suddenly heard.
Everyone raised their heads, only to find a young lady wearing a green dress leaning against the wall nearby. A flirtatious set of eyes were currently filled with interest as they stared at Ezra.
