Chapter 592 Threating the Royal Family

Chapter 592 Threating the Royal Family

When Oliver left the auction house, he frowned before the corner of his lips curled up in a mocking grin.

'How audacious!' He thought, and moved toward a comparatively secluded area behind the market.

After reaching there, he stopped and with a wave of his hand, took out the Flame Barrier's spell scroll which he bought in the auction, and called out, "You want this, right? Come out and take it." Right after he left the auction house, he had felt a few hidden gazes focus on him. It wasn't difficult for him to realize what these people wanted. Normally, he wouldn't have bothered about them and headed to the Royal Palace like he planned, but his mood wasn't good after he failed to buy the Caladius Brachium. Also, for some reason, he started having an easy feeling when he was in the auction house. He tried to think of the reason why he would feel this, and could only think that he might face some unexpected problems when he went to take Lily back, which made his mood even more bad.

Therefore, he first wanted to vent his anger, and what could be better than these pesky flies that were trying to die so badly? That was why, instead of going to the Royal Palace, he arrived here.

After calling out, he waited but no one appeared, which made him frown.

"What? You don't want to or... are you afraid?" He scoffed. But no one replied or came out. He extended his senses and could feel more than a dozen people hiding in the surroundings.

"I don't have time to waste. If you don't come out before I count to three, I'll come for you." Saying this, he started counting, "One..."

The people tracking him were just three-star mages, only one or two among them were in the four-star realm. Although they didn't have any magic devices that they could use to determine Oliver's cultivation realm, they were experienced enough and could feel a threat coming from him even though he had completely withdrawn his aura, and looked no different from an ordinary man.

Also, they weren't foolish enough to not realize that he was confident of leaving this place alive since he deliberately lured them here. Therefore, they were indeed afraid. If it were up to them, they would've turned tail and fled the moment he called them out, but they couldn't lose track of him or their masters wouldn't show them or their family mercy.

Since they weren't confident of defeating him, and couldn't retreat either, they could only pray for their masters to come quickly. However, "Two!"

Oliver counted. Noticing they didn't even move, he clicked his tongue and asked, "What? Are you waiting for your lords to arrive?"

No one answered him, which displeased him even more. Thus, without bothering to finish the count, he suddenly disappeared from the place.

Swoosh!

'Oh, shit!' Everyone in the shadows exclaimed and hurriedly took a defensive stance. But it was useless.

"Ahhhh!"

"This guy... Did he just seriously threaten the Royal Family?" Someone asked in a disbelieving tone.

"Tch! I had only ever heard people become arrogant after becoming a little strong, but today, I have also seen it."

"Shh! Don't be too loud, he is at least a five-star mage. If he hears you, he might kill you in rage."

"Heh! Would he dare to? I'm a relative of one of the guard commanders of the Royal..."

Bang!

Before he could finish his sentence, a wave of mana crashed down upon him, immediately freezing him into ice. Then, in the next moment, the ice shattered into small pieces. After the ice melted, there was no trace of the man left behind. He had completely disappeared.

The crowd was horrified and immediately retreated and the discussions ceased. They didn't want to be the second person to melt away.

However, even though they didn't dare to say anything anymore, many of them were looking at him with mocking gazes. These people were the ones who didn't have much exposure to the outside world and believed the Royal Family to be supreme. Since he had threatened and killed someone under their watch, he was sure to suffer the consequences. However, those who knew the Green Leaf kingdom was just one of several kingdoms, and knew what the words 'Central Plains' entailed, knew Oliver wouldn't suffer much or anything at all.

Of course, if they knew just what kind of power the words 'Ice Sovereign Mountain' represented, they would've known not only would Olive not suffer anything, the Royal family most likely wouldn't even dare to raise their voice against him.

In the end, no matter how knowledgeable each of them was, everyone waited in silence, wanting to see how the Royal family would react to this provocation.

They didn't need to wait for too long before a lithe figure in golden armor, holding a golden spear, flew up from inside the Palace, and stopped in front of Oliver.

When Oliver saw her, his eyes flashed briefly. Although this lady was beautiful and seemed heroic in her armor, he was used to seeing ladies more beautiful than her.

"Sir, don't you think your behavior is too unseemly for someone from such a prestigious sect?" She said in a voice low. She had heard of the Ice Sovereign Mountain and knew it was one of the most powerful forces in the Central Plains. Therefore, even though she knew she couldn't recklessly offend him, she didn't want to act too submissive in front of him. That was why she made sure to use the Ice Sovereign Mountain's prestige to show her dissatisfaction.

However, contrary to her expectations, Oliver smiled faintly, "You don't need to try these tricks. They are useless. Call your King or someone else who can make decisions on behalf of your Royal family to talk to me. Remember to tell him, I don't want to cause trouble, but If your Royal family doesn't hand her over to me as soon as possible, or if she manages to escape, I'll hold your Royal family accountable."

Although he didn't want to offend the Royal family if he didn't need to, he didn't want to show he feared them. That was why he didn't lower his voice when he said this, which obviously angered the lady in front of him.

"You...!" "It's alright, Commander Emery. Let me talk to him." Before she could say anything, a voice sounded from outside the Palace. When everyone looked over, they saw a Royal Carriage coming over. Then, a figure stepped out of it, and flew over to Oliver and Emery.
