Chapter 252: The Same Fate

Zen's nonchalant remark almost caused the entire crowd to start a huge fight.

However, before it could erupt into one, Juliet suddenly stood up and shouted, "Everyone, please remember this is the Gambling Aristocrat and not a place for mages to fight."

And she continued, "If you are really itching for a fight then you can prepare yourself in the upcoming mage tournament and not here."

Marlon's friend was angry by Juliet's word that seemed to be defending Zen and it was clear for everyone to see them having a close relationship considering how they were chatting happily before.

"Wasn't it him who started the fight, to begin with? Why aren't you punishing him for dealing such deadly magic on my friend?" Marlon's friend screamed in anger as he pointed his finger at Zen.

Juliet sighed inwardly and wondered if Zen purposely did this to create trouble for her.

'Was this his way of revenge in saying that he knew I'm related to the labyrinth incident?' Juliet exclaimed inwardly before staring at Marlon's friend.

"What is your name and which noble family does you hail from?" Juliet then asked him.

Marlon's friend scoffed in anger as he shouted, "My name is Zayne and I come from the Nasan family. We may not be the most influential noble in the Jade Kingdom but I can guarantee that this matter will not end lightly."

Zayne was not willing to let go of this matter in any case. After all, he was in the right while Zen was the culprit who started this mess from the beginning.

"So Zayne Nasan huh, do you even realize who this person is?" Juliet said as she pointed at Zen.

Zayne Nasan merely sneered as he quickly replied, "Who doesn't know about Zen and his notorious deed in crippling Jared Kaiso and openly humiliate Patraitch Daemon Kaiso."

Juliet smiled briefly at Zayne's words and smiled. "Since you know who Zen is then let me ask you a simple question. Is your Nasan Family on par with the Kaiso Family?"

Zayne Nasan flinched as he was unable to answer Juliet's question. Not because he didn't know the answer but because he didn't want to say that the Nasan Family pale in comparison to the Kaiso Family.

Their Nasan Family was nothing in front of the Kaiso Family and even his father must pay his respect when seeing an elder in the Kaiso Family.

Juliet's smile became wider when she saw Zayne Nasan struggling to answer her simple question.

Afterward, she turned around and glared at the rest of the nobles that seemed to be full of frustration as she asked them the same question.

"Is anyone of your noble family better than the Kaiso family? If so, please step forward so we can discuss this further," 

The rest of the nobles all lowered their heads in shame as none of them were willing to step forward and say their families were better than the Kaiso family.

By saying so, it means they are trying to declare war with the Kaiso family and asking to be annihilated within the Jade Kingdom.

Seeing their silence, Juliet nodded her head before returning her gaze at Zayne Nasan.

"Looks like none of your noble friends can be equivalent to the Kaiso Family so let me ask you. What makes you think we would punish someone who can cause chaos in the Kaiso Family and even after all this time, they remained silent and did nothing to him?" Juliet asked Zayne Nasan with a solemn expression.

Zayne Nasan clenched his fist tightly in anger as he stared at Juliet, "But he shot his flame at Marlon, disfiguring him completely and Marlon could possibly die if we didn't treat his injury fast enough."

"So what? Is that any of our problem when your friend, Marlon couldn't keep his damn mouth shut?" Juliet rebuked his word directly.

Zen has only attacked people from noble families and hasn't directly caused chaos for the Gambling Aristocrat. Hence, Juliet did not wish to pursue Zen at all, even if she knew he must have done something to the referee.

Meanwhile, Zayne Nasan knew he could not persuade Juliet any longer to have her help them get vengeance at Zen.

Thus, he decided to focus on another person that has been staying silent the entire time without any intention of intervening.

"Princess Krista, this man has openly fired his magic at a civilian so are you just going to stand there and do nothing about it?" Zayne Nasan changed his target to Krista Dragoon.

Alas, that was the biggest mistake he has ever done in his life because Krista Dragoon didn't even get a chance to reply when Zen directly vanished from his position, reappearing in front of Zayne Nasan.

Zayne Nasan was shocked by the sudden appearance of Zen in front of him but his realization was too late when Zen raised his leg and directly kicked his manhood.

"AHHHHHHHHH"

Zayne Nasan screamed in agony as he clenched on his balls with both his hands. His balls seemed to be dripping some blood as the rest of the nobles witnessed the scene with a pale expression.

They were horrified by the ruthless action of Zen and at the same time, they unconsciously touched their ball and felt it was still intact without any damages like Zayne Nasan.

All of them only had one sentence in mind and it was, "Thank god it wasn't me who got targeted."

They were a bit relieved to be safe from such torture and pain that can cripple their enjoyment as men for the rest of their life.

Meanwhile, Zayne Nasan was still on the ground, crying and screaming about his balls being shattered.

"Oh shut your fucking mouth already," Zen said in anger as he kicked Zayne Nasan in the stomach.

Zen was done with this blabbering Zayne Nasan that kept acting around like a clown in front of him.

Zen was about to just leave him by threatening him with some words but who would have thought that Zayne Nasan decided to point his finger at Krista Dragoon.

Thus, Zayne Nasan has no one other than himself for picking a fight that he has zero chance of winning to begin with.

If a clown-like Zayne Nasan was begging to get the same fate as Jared Kaiso then Zen shall be generous today and grant him his wish.

Zayne Nasan could only grit his teeth in silence as he clenched onto his balls while casting some healing magic to soothe his wound. He did not wish to provoke Zen any further since he was sure Zen's next move would take his life.

Zen smiled briefly when Zayne Nasan finally shut his blabbering mouth and glanced at Krista Dragoon slowly to see if she was fine.

"Are you alright?" Zen sent a mental transmission to Krista Dragoon as he asked in concern.

Krista Dragoon nodded her head in response. "I'm fine and did you really have to be this ruthless to Zayne Nasan even though he deserved it."

Zen shrugged his shoulders as she knew exactly why he kicked Zayne Nasan balls.

Meanwhile, Juliet could only smile bitterly at this outcome as she had already warned the nobles to back off already.

'I have already warned this dumbass Zayne Nasan about Zen's reputation when the Kaiso Family did absolutely nothing to him. Alas, fools will always be fools and there will never be a cure for them.' Juliet exclaimed inwardly as she signaled the workers in the sideline who held a frightened expression.

"Go take Zayne Nasan and his friend, Marlon away from the Gambling Aristocrat. Return them to their family and remember to tell them not to seek revenge unless they wish to vanish from this world," Juliet ordered the workers loudly, shocking the other nobles from her words.

The worker didn't dare to delay their task as they quickly dashed over to Marlon and Zayne Nasan before dragging them away from the scene.

Once the two idiots left the scene, Juliet stepped forward and asked the nobles, "Are you still willing to complain about Zen?"

The nobles hurriedly shook their heads in response as they gave some random excuses to leave the area shortly after.

None of them were willing to risk their balls in front of Zen who could give no fuck about their identity and background.

The area that was once filled with multiple people was now empty with only the two participants standing in the arena as they waited for the match to start.

Juliet sighed as she got a headache from Zen's behavior and wondered if she had done something to piss him off.

"Why are you always making my job extremely difficult?" Juliet stared at Zen as she complained slightly.

Zen chuckled softly as he shrugged his shoulders, "I'm not the one making your job difficult. It's those fools that don't know who I am and always try to pick a fight against me."
