My queen is rebelling!

Cohen's voice seemed to be joking, but his tone was unusually firm.

Chloe's face changed drastically, and the look in her eyes towards Cohen immediately turned unfriendly.

Raymond frowned and said softly:

"Chloe didn't know your identity beforehand, and she has already apologized to you."

Cohen replied calmly:

"I must keep my word in front of so many people!"

Raymond understood his subtext—if his words didn't count today, then the promises he made yesterday wouldn't count either.

Blackmail!

A surge of anger rose in Raymond's heart, being blackmailed by a mere First Order!

He took a few deep breaths, and the desire for the kingdom's capital and stepping into the Holy Order suppressed his anger. He said to Chloe in a cold voice:

"Chloe, starting today, you will take a position at the arena in the Southern Territory!"

As soon as these words came out, Chloe's face changed drastically, and a trace of disappointment shot straight into her chest like a cold wind.

For the sake of a First Order transcendent, the boss was actually going to send her to the Southern Territory!

Resentment and unwillingness filled her heart, with a hint of regret.

She couldn't possibly disobey the orders of her legendary boss, so she could only turn her gaze to Boggs beside her.

Boggs was also shocked by Raymond's actions. He never expected things to develop to this point, that Chloe would actually be exiled!

Just for the sake of a First Order kid!

Just for those few harmless scoldings?

Chloe was one of the more valuable investments among the Dupont family's many investments. If she were exiled because of this little thing, who would be willing to follow the Dupont family in the future?

Boggs immediately spoke up:

"Lord Raymond, this matter is entirely due to me. Our Dupont family will take responsibility for this matter. Please do not vent your anger on others!"

After a pause, he took out a badge and added:

"This statement represents the Dupont family!"

Boggs' voice was sonorous and forceful, causing a small uproar in the arena.

No one would lightly disregard the promise of a noble family with a century of heritage.

Raymond's expression froze. He knew this young man in front of him, the direct eldest son of the Dupont family, the first in line to inherit.

Seeing Raymond still hesitating, Boggs added fuel to the fire:

"Lord Raymond, this is a matter between us nobles. Do you want to cause some unpleasantness for the sake of an outsider!"

Yes, us nobles!

In the end, Cohen had never been truly proven to be a noble. Perhaps he was just bluffing, and the mask was to prevent his true identity from being exposed.

So, before his identity was determined, in the eyes of everyone, he was just an ordinary person with a higher talent.

He might be valued by some people because of his talent, but that was ultimately just external force.

If Cohen were relying solely on his own identity, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to stand here.

There is right and wrong in matters, but no in positions.

Today, you exile a knight for the sake of a commoner. Who knows if you will kill a noble for the sake of a commoner one day!

Does your Transcendent Arena value our nobles' faces less than a secretive young man?

Raymond was now being roasted on the fire.

Many nobles had come today, and he could already feel the subtle pressure from the gazes in the first and second floors. They were obviously waiting for his decision.

This was also their common thought:

Genius, good, I like it.

But this genius must obey me!

Raymond was now beginning to doubt whether this mysterious young man coming to his arena was a bad thing or a good thing.

Yesterday, he almost caused a fake match scandal. Today, as soon as he arrived, he was about to start a conflict between nobles and commoners.

He sighed deeply. After all, he still had to continue working in Florence, and he still had to rely on this group of deeply rooted and intricate Florence nobles.

If he really angered this group of nobles and caused them to resist in unison, let alone thinking about taking a position in the kingdom, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to keep his position in Florence!

He was still a businessman at heart, and weighing the pros and cons was engraved in his blood and marrow.

Finally, he spoke:

"Since the Dupont family is vouching for you, then fine, Chloe, you must sincerely apologize to this gentleman!

In addition, you will be suspended for half a year to reflect on yourself at home."

As soon as the voice fell, Chloe breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of vengeful pleasure appeared on Boggs' face.

His gaze fell on Cohen and Nephthys, as if to say, look, this is the power of the nobility, this is the charm of family background!

What's the use of you two commoners having high talent? You still have to admit defeat when you should!

My ancestors finished suffering all the hardships that our descendants should have suffered for the next dozen generations hundreds of years ago!

Why should you be on an equal footing with me?

Cohen sighed lightly in his heart. After all, this was not his previous life. For Raymond, and for most of the nobles present, he was just a talented young man.

In fact, in their hearts, they didn't regard themselves as the same kind of people.

What they valued was whether he could turn his talent into strength and then become a tool for them to extract profits.

Yes, for these royal relatives and nobles, commoners and slaves were their tools, nothing more than the difference between being useful and not useful.

They would be fond of a sharp sword, but when someone threatened their interests, even the most beautiful and precious sword would be abandoned by them!

What about the Six Dynasties? Only private interests were achieved?

He shook his head lightly, casting aside unrealistic fantasies. To be honest, wasn't he the greatest noble in the Effie Territory?

Cohen waved his hand to stop Chloe, who wanted to apologize, and said softly:

"Perhaps I should be the one saying sorry."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions became strange.

Could it be that this young man was finally afraid?

The young man, full of passion and talent, after experiencing the blows of reality and the encroachment of power, finally had to bow his proud head in the face of the insurmountable power and wealth barriers of the noble class, choosing to submit and yield.

That was also normal. After all, this kind of thing had happened countless times, and in the foreseeable future, similar things would continue to repeat themselves countless times.

But Cohen's next words stirred up a monstrous wave in the crowd:

"Originally, you only had to lose your job, but later, I'm afraid you will lose even more!"

Cohen didn't give everyone time to think about this sentence. His gaze lingered on Raymond's face for a moment, and then he let out a chuckle with an unclear meaning.

Along with the laughter, a gold exchange certificate worth five thousand gold coins flew out and landed in front of Raymond.

At the same time, two badges belonging to the Transcendent Arena, representing the strength and record of the contestants, also flew out and suddenly exploded in front of Raymond.

Raymond's face slowly solidified into ice, his eyes were as gloomy as water, an invisible storm was slowly condensing above his head, the air became heavy and oppressive, and the vast aura made everyone unable to breathe.

The people who were originally alarmed by Cohen's actions were now as silent as death.

This Legendary powerhouse was angry!
