Book 2: Chapter 89: Miserable Experience
A few Saint Realm auras shot across the sky rapidly. Nevertheless, dreading the earlier blast of power, they came to a stop at a distance, not daring to get any closer to it. Exchanging glances with each other, the eldest man with the most powerful aura spoke out in a solemn and cautious manner: “May I know which esteemed person you are, and why you have to start a fight in our Harbour City?”
“I didn’t start any fight. I’m only here to take back my daughter.” digging his ear, Callanster replied with an exceedingly unhappy tone.
Despite his reply, this old man clearly didn’t believe Callanster’s words. Pointing towards the smoking ruins of the auction house, he roared out in fury: “Is this esteemed sir trying to say that we’re deaf and blind in the light of that huge of a commotion?”
Shrugging his shoulders, Callanster replied: “I really didn’t do that.”
“B̲u̲l̲l̲s̲h̲i̲t̲!” the old man’s beard started to fly about as rage built up within him, before pointing towards Callanster’s nose and shouting out: “Despite your strength, I never imagined that this esteemed sir is that irresponsible as well as a b̲a̲s̲t̲a̲r̲d̲ that doesn’t even dare to report his name!”
“Name?” Callanster’s eyes narrowed slightly, as an incomparably dangerous aura started to radiate from his body, “Listen carefully you old thing, my name is...Emona...Callanster.”
“E...Emona?” the old man’s forceful and imposing manner suddenly vanished, before a trembling voice rang out from his mouth: “The Holy Dragon Empire’s Emona?”
“Is there anyone else in this world that dares to use the Emona surname?”
“Hiss...” the sounds of people sucking in a mouthful of cold air rang out in the surroundings. Clearly, none of them had expected to bump into the legendary Dragonblood lunatic.
At this moment, the Dragonblood lunatic had already become somewhat irritated and flung his hand about as though he was swatting a fly: “Hurry up and scram. Don’t disturb my valuable reunion with my daughter.”
The old man’s eyes quivered upon hearing Callanster’s response, “Even if you’re the legendary Emona Callanster, you have to give our Harbour City an explanation for the unjustifiable commotion you’ve caused. If not, we will have to treat this as an act of aggression towards our Luminous Theocracy by the Holy Dragon Empire, and an act of war!”
“War?” Callanster’s eyes turned gloomy with anger: “I really, really hate people talking about war when they’ve never had the pleasure. Since you need a reason from me, I’ll give you one...”
A genial smile appeared on Callanster’s face as he asked out: “Carol, can you tell them what you’ve gone through during the period of time?”
“Yes! Father!” Carol gave a misshapen salute, before replying, “ I swear to tell no lie, to not over exaggerate, distort or mask the truth.”
“Okay, speak.”
“I don’t need anymore, I don’t need anymore.”
“And those losses...”
“I’ll definitely do my best to compensate.”
“What about the evildoers that kidnapped my daughter?”
“I’ll capture...I’ll make sure I’ll capture them even if I need to go to the ends of the world to do so...”
“Those young slave girls that were rescued from there?”
“Those with families would be sent back, and I’ll adopt the rest...”
“Okay...” Callanster nodded his head in satisfaction. Patting the city lord’s shoulder, he said, “You’re a good city lord.”
A sullen expression covered the city lord’s face. However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, I gave an abrupt shout: “Wait a minute.”
“What else do you want?” the city lord stared at me. Although he didn’t dare piss Callanster off, I was another story.
Being magnanimous, I didn’t want to scheme against the city lord. Instead, making the most alluring smile I could make, I replied: “Blasting the auction house cost me 1539 scrolls, of which 352 were 9th rank scrolls, 366 were 8th rank scrolls, 415 were 7th rank scrolls, with the rest made up of middle rank scrolls, with a small number of low rank ones. Could you...compensate me for them?”
“You!” anger filled the old city lord as he stared widely at me, “This is extortion!”
“I’m not extorting anything from you. What I’ve said is the truth. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Carol yourself.”
Carol nodded her head and replied: “That’s right. It’s all true. I can swear upon it with the name of our Emona Clan.”
The old city lord clenched his weak little heart as he looked at the smoking ruins of the auction house, before turning to look at Callanster, who still wore the “I’ll destroy the city if you don’t agree” face. In the next instant, tears streamed down his face as he replied:
“I’ll compensate... I’ll compensate you, alright...”
