Working Prophet

David realized that it would be impossible for him to capture Ilea and Li Yu today.

Even his father Cullen couldn't go his own way despite the opposition of all the nobles in the Western Territory, let alone not only the nobles here, but also thousands of civilians, who all witnessed what just happened.

With so many people, David couldn't shut them down even if he wanted to.

And this is why the female lord must let Love and Mead perform this new play.

David, his opponent, certainly knew this, but he still came. This was not because he was reckless or underestimated the enemy, but because of his strong self-confidence and his belief in his ability to control the situation.

The future Lord of the Western Territory carefully examined all his actions from the incident to the present, and confirmed that there were no loopholes left. It was impossible for Ilea to hold any witness or material evidence that could convict him. Only then Go to the appointment safely.

This time he not only wanted to win, but he also wanted to win completely.

Stand on the stage set up by the enemy and kill all the other's hopes with your own hands.

Until the last moment, the development of things was exactly as David had imagined. Although there were some minor twists and surprises, neither Carloman nor Hells' appearance could change the overall situation.

David even graciously allowed the two to complete their parts of the show.

But then Li Yu appeared.

David was also one of the witnesses to the election of the Arias family about half a year ago. He had witnessed Li Yu performing miracles and recorded Antonio's voice.

Like everyone else present, he was deeply shocked by this magical scene and left a very deep impression on Li Yu.

And this time the Arias family succeeded in slaying the dragon, it is said that they relied on the sacred weapon provided by Shuangxiujiao.

Therefore, David was actually more afraid of this foreigner who claimed to be a prophet than Ilea and his brother.

This also made him very cautious in his words and deeds in front of Li Yu, but David did not expect that even so, he still underestimated the ability of the foreigner in black clothes in front of him.

The latter can actually hide the sacred instrument that can record sounds in other people's bodies!

And that bastard Gabriel was really convinced and agreed to this crazy proposal, willing to let Li Yu put something completely foreign to him into his wings.

Is that guy's head broken? Isn't he worried that the thing is dangerous or contains a curse or something?

David thought bitterly, but now there is no point in worrying about such things.

The top priority now is to get out of here as soon as possible. David plans to return to the Marquis Mansion first and try not to appear in public in the next period of time. Then he will look for any way to restore some reputation.

After making up his mind, he turned around and strode towards the direction of the carriage. The crowds silently separated wherever he passed, and no one stepped forward to stop him.

No matter what, the Western Territory is the territory of the Figuerola family after all.

Especially in Yanxue City, no one dared to stand in front of the acting head of the Figuerola family. In fact, even the always brave Miss Rabbit did not ask for trouble this time.

Watching David's carriage disappear at the other end of the street.

However, not long after, the carriage left and returned again.

All the nobles suddenly became nervous, wondering if David would suddenly become ill again and really mobilize his troops to go on a killing spree.

Otherwise there is no way to explain why he would come back again.

The two teams of cavalry that appeared immediately after the carriage seemed to confirm everyone's suspicions.

Fabrice took the lead in drawing out the sword from his waist, spitting on the ground with a sound.

"The Figuerola family is unkind, so we don't have to be polite, let's fight out together!" After saying that, he turned to his wife and said fiercely, "Bitch, if you don't come here, what do you expect from that little kid who doesn't have all his hair?" Asshole protecting you?”

When Catherine heard this, there was a look of surprise on her face. Then she stopped looking at Hugo beside her and ran to her husband with her skirt in hand.

Just as everyone was preparing for the possible conflict that would occur next.

But finally someone noticed something strange.

"Those cavalrymen seem to have left Rock Snow City with Marquis Cullen a few months ago." Finance Officer Romero said, "It is the Marquis who has returned."

After being reminded like this, everyone realized that the cavalry did indeed look dusty, but they had outstanding discipline and well-founded advance and retreat, and they were obviously the best among the best.

David also got out of the carriage at this time. When he saw his cavalry, instead of showing any joy on his face, he looked even more panicked than before.

In fact, he had always paid attention to his father's whereabouts. Whether it was in the royal capital or at major intersections in the Western Region, he had spies arranged by him.

However, until now when these cavalrymen appeared in front of him, he hadn't gotten even a little bit of news, no, it should be said, he hadn't even heard a little bit of wind.

Suddenly, these cavalry entered the city.

Goldfinger stepped forward and said to the leading cavalry, "Sir Gaspard, where is the Marquis now?"

"My lord, he is washing and changing clothes at the residence. Please be patient."

Hearing his words, the nobles breathed a sigh of relief.

When the Marquis of Cullen was there, the big guy didn’t feel anything, but he had only been away for a few months, and a lot of troubles had occurred in the western region. When the black dragon was raging before, more than one person was thinking that it would be great if the Marquis of Cullen was still there. .

It's not that David is bad, but he simply can't bring together all the forces in the Western Territory like his father did.

But now that Marquis Cullen is finally back, many people feel that they have a backbone.

I believe that Marquis Cullen will be able to come up with a convincing solution to this matter.

that's the truth.

Although he was tired from traveling, Marquis Cullen did not come to the stage in the end.

But his order came very quickly. First, he asked the sheriff to arrest his eldest son David and put the latter in prison. Then he asked the Arias family and other families that suffered heavy losses in the disaster to send representatives. , and together with Iron Mask, were responsible for the follow-up interrogation to find out the mastermind behind the murder of Russ and the planning of the attack on the Western Territory.

In addition, Marquis Cullen also brought back His Majesty the Emperor's reward for the female lord.

Including a gorgeous sword studded with precious stones, which is said to have been carried by the emperor himself, and an honorary title of "Dragon Slaying Knight".

Don't underestimate this title. According to the current laws of the Red Lion Empire, although women can inherit land, they cannot obtain any titles. The corresponding titles can only be inherited by their husbands or sons.

The number of women who have received similar honorary titles in the history of the empire can be counted on one hand, and all of them are famous.

So the gold content of this thing is still very high. Miss Rabbit was shocked when she first heard the news and wondered if there was something wrong with her ears.

It wasn't until the nobles around her congratulated her that she came back to her senses.

On the other side, David was already being escorted to the dungeon by Brian. Out of respect for the Figuerola family, the sheriff did not use any torture instruments.

David took a few steps, then turned back, walked up to Li Yu, and said, "I lost to you this time."

Li Yu was a little surprised. He didn't expect David to admit his failure to him personally.

But soon David continued, "But don't be too happy too early. Sooner or later, you will follow in my footsteps."

"Um?"

"Watch your allies." David winked in Ilea's direction.

After saying these last words, he was taken away by the guards around him.
