Chapter five hundred and sixteen duel
Merlin turned his head and looked at Joe with a little embarrassed look.
As the Chief Minister of the Hydra Palace, he has the obligation to protect the safety of all guests.
However, many unspoken rules among the nobles are above Merlin's rights and responsibilities.
"Mr. Thomson, I don't remember that I had any...contradictions and conflicts with you." Joe stepped forward two steps, stood in front of the aggressive Thomson, and shook his head gently: "You, are you here to find me?"
Thomson grinned, then he took out a white glove from his coat pocket and threw it heavily at Joe's face.
‘Pa’!
A hand stretched out from behind Joe and grabbed the silk-textured white gloves in his hand.
Wearing a large dress of the Imperial Army general, a golden star shining on the epaulette. Gorkin, who had been promoted to major general at some point, grabbed the glove and threw it on the ground.
"Dull duel? Then, of course, this kind of thing should be accompanied by the eldest son of the Weitu family." Gorkin took two steps forward, stepped on the white gloves thrown on the ground, and pointed at Thomson fiercely: "Your Excellency, did you take action yourself?"
Joe's eyes widened.
He looked at Gorkin, whom he hadn't seen for several days.
A large group of strong men wearing iron-gray generals' dresses and erectile slapped on their epaulettes came around.
These people were all familiar with their faces. A few days ago, before Qiao took the Abyss Giant Crocodile Dragon potion in the Palace of Cluster, the Imperial Army officers who took the first batch of Abyss Six-Eyed Corrosion Demon Wolf potion, including Gorkin, a total of 98 people. At this moment, more than 40 people gathered here.
These newly promoted sixth-level extraordinary major generals, the Imperial Army, each of them has sharp auras and fierce eyes, like a group of provoked wolves, staring at Thomson and the group of entourages behind him fiercely.
Thomson's pupils shrank violently, and he gritted his teeth and slapped Gorkin's finger: "This is a personal grudge... This major general... The goal I challenge is this stupid and obsessive fat man, if you want to interfere..."
A cold and fierce light flashed in Thomson's eyes. He looked at Gorkin deeply and said in a deep voice: "Then, you can only fight to the death with the duel I sent."
More than a dozen circles of people quickly surrounded the surroundings.
The people closest to Qiao and the others in the inner circle are a large group of dukes, marquis, provincial governors, and ministers of various ministries. Then, according to the unspoken rules of title, official position, family power, etc., the lower the identity, the more peripheral the circle they stand.
But no matter whether standing in the inner or outer circles, everyone's face turned slightly red, and they looked at Joe, Thomson and others in the confrontation with great excitement.
At the New Year celebration held at the Derren Empire Palace, the deputy ambassador of the Ice Sea Kingdom proposed a private duel to a nobleman of the Derren Empire... It was so exciting and so satisfying. This news is enough to become a topic of discussion for these nobles in the next few months.
If, during the duel, one of the two sides can die, or they might just die together!
Well, this little fun is enough for this group of dignitaries to talk about it from December 30 this year to the same time next year!
A few long tables were quickly pieced together around the crowd.
More than a dozen reporters wearing windbreakers have already set up heavy machines on the long table. The magnesium powder flash lights are constantly flashing, constantly recording everything on the scene.
The work efficiency of these reporters is really impeccable... Thomson rushed up to find trouble. It took a while before they could prepare everything!
Of course, it is not ruled out that Thomson and others have made the notification to these reporters.
Who knows?
"Dull fighter?" Gorkin smiled, and he nodded: "Then..."
Joe grabbed Gorkin's shoulder and pulled back hard.
Gorkin's body shook slightly.
A muffled bang sounded at the place where Joe's palm and Gorkin's shoulders came into contact. Joe's palms were filled with sourness, and the power that was shocked from Gorkin's body was obviously beyond Joe's imagination.
Qiao looked at Gorkin in shock.
After taking the sixth-level potion, Gorkin's strength increased, which seemed a bit beyond his imagination.
Gorkin looked at Qiao's palm on his shoulder deeply. He stretched out his left hand and patted Qiao's fat, white and tender, more than two circles larger than his slap, and smiled slightly: "Then, send your duel, and you... Come on, we two brothers, fight you."
Thomson took a breath of breath.
Beside him, a blond haired and blue-eyed man, wearing a tight swordsman outfit, covered with a long cloak, six feet and one or two inches tall, and his body was shaking, shaking the long cloak on his body to the ground.
"Your Excellency?" The young man approached Thomson's ear and asked softly.
Thomson looked deep at Venus on Gorkin's shoulder, and then he grinned: "Gorkin Rong Weitu, Huh? Fifth-level Shadow Wolf? Are you sure you want to participate in a duel that has nothing to do with you personally?"
"You provoke my family, I must participate in this duel." Gorkin held the hilt of his waist with his right hand.
Hesen coughed heavily, and he slowly stepped forward two steps, held his hands in front of his chest, and the cigar butts held at the corner of his mouth flashed red for a while, and two thick smoke spewed out of his nostrils.
"This, Mr. Thomson, although I don't know what the child did wrong. But since you have used such a formal ceremony, in front of so many noble gentlemen and ladies, you have made a duel to my son. No, as the head of the Vitu family, I naturally cannot sit and watch."
"I'll join one too, how about it? You have three people, and we, father and son, go together. Hey. By the way, we can also add some small lottery according to the customs of Tulum Port. For example, what about a billion gold mark?"
Thomson's pupils contracted violently.
Behind him, a red-haired man, who was also wearing a tight swordsman outfit but had a burly figure and a beard, muttered in a low voice, took two heavy steps forward, glanced at Hesen with contempt, and then made a dangerous move to cut his neck.
"Little Bastard." Heisen looked at the bearded man, grinned and cursed, "Do you dare to accept my duel conditions?"
A wave-like noise came from the crowd around.
A duel between father and son, and such a duel scene has not appeared in the Medland continent for decades.
In particular, Hessen made a bet of billion Jinmack!
If you don’t count your life, you have to bet such a big sum of money!
The eyes of the dukes and marquis were flowing, and the counts, viscounts, barons, lords, knights could already spew out the fire in their eyes.
Especially those low-level nobles, those beautifully dressed noble ladies, their eyes were like flies smelling bloody, sticking to Gorkin's face!
Well, there are also some noble girls with a rather strange aesthetic. They are shy and astringent, secretly and constantly look at Qiao's thick waist, three times thicker than normal people, and their arms and thighs are squinted again and again. They don't know what they think of, but as their eyes turn, their little faces become red and red.
"Billion Golden Mark?" Thomson almost vomited blood.
He looked at Hesen in anger and screamed hysterically: "Coward, if you dare not duel, don't make such harsh demands! You are simply..."
Hesen shrugged, untied the hole in his chest dress jacket, reached out and took out a delicate alloy check clip from the hidden bag on his chest lined with a vest.
He slowly took out a check from the alloy check clip several times larger than the ordinary traveler's check, with a gold edge with a deep copper green check with a thumb-wide edge.
"Look at my check, two billion gold marks." Hessen shrugged: "After I arrived at the imperial capital, I negotiated several big deals. This was the deposit my client paid to me... I made hundreds of small receipts into an integer note."
A middle-aged man with a bald Mediterranean hair and a large conservative dress, but the holes in the dress are made of natural seawater gold pearls, and the whole body exudes a 'noble'. The middle-aged man standing shoulder to shoulder with his Lord Duke raised his right hand: "I swear with the reputation of my family that the authenticity of this check is irrefutable, because it is all the procedures I personally handled for His Excellency Hessen."
Everyone present looked at the middle-aged man at the same time.
Well, the first deputy minister of the Imperial Finance Department and the president of the Royal Bank of Imperiality.
Very good, his words have absolute credit.
The noise suddenly rose several times.
Everyone looked at the check in Hesen's hand, and their eyes were a little confused and changed color.
The deposit alone paid 2 billion Jinmak... What kind of business did this guy negotiate with the big guys in the imperial capital? The deposit was 2 billion. So, how huge would the total transaction amount of the transactions he negotiated?
Hesen slowly stuffed the check back into the check clip, put it back into the hidden bag on his chest, and then buttoned it up.
He looked at Thomson with a pale face and said calmly: "Coward? Oh, oh, Lord Poor, this is just a little inhumane habit of us rich people. Of course, there must be a little bet for duels."
"Look, I didn't make things too difficult for you. I didn't say that I bet on two billion Jinmaks... I won't make things difficult for others on purpose, even if you are proposing a life-and-death duel to us...the enemy!"
"This is just a little bit of a hobby among us rich people. No matter what we do, we always want to make more pocket money."
"Of course, if you can't afford to pay the money... in order not to make poor people like you think that my sons and I are cowards, then, tell me, how many bets can you take?"
"One hundred million?"
"Fifty million?"
"Ten million?"
"Oh, if the amount is too small, please don't say it out loud... It's so embarrassing."
Hessen's words were extremely mean and sarcastic.
The nobles of the Delun Empire present all applauded and laughed: "That's right, the duel you proposed, then the person who was challenged is qualified to propose the conditions for the duel."
"Like a true noble, don't back down, Lord Thomson."
"Don't embarrass the Kingdom of Ice Sea, we're all watching you."
