Bang! Bang!
Boom!
Just as Viscount Alger shook his head, he suddenly heard a few muffled sounds.
All the nobles present looked at each other, their expressions turning cold. As energy level three users, they all heard the noise.
"It's from the arena. We're the only ones using this place today." Mayor Isaac said with a frown. "Who's the one having a dispute to the point they have to use the ring?"
The nobles all frowned, wondering if it was related to them.
"Let's go take a look." Viscount Alger suggested.
With that, the others followed him and walked toward the arena. Just as they were about to leave the banquet, a servant ran over in a panic.
"This is bad. Grott and Ferguson are having a duel with a young man Miss Jynx brought back named Arthur!"
The servant hurriedly said the moment he saw Mayor Isaac and Viscount Alger. After saying that, he panted heavily and was out of breath.
"What?" Viscount Alger's expression changed as he immediately asked, "How's Arthur?"
Grott and Ferguson were students who studied seriously in the academy. Their strength was no small matter.
Arthur would probably be in danger if he dueled with them.
Jynx was the one who had invited Arthur. If anything happened to Arthur, she would be in a terrible mood.
On the other side, Viscount Morton and Viscount West looked at each other in surprise when they heard their sons were fighting a boy from the countryside. They were curious about what caused this situation.
However, they weren't worried about Grott and Ferguson's safety. After all, both of them were nobles and had received professional guidance since they were young. Furthermore, they had improved even more after entering the Sky Radiance Transcendent Academy.
Even if they faced a few energy level three transcendents, Viscount Morton and Viscount West wouldn't be too embarrassed. A transcendent without professional guidance wouldn't be an issue for their sons.
The servant gasped for breath and waved his hand. "Arthur is fine. But… Grott and Ferguson have been beaten into a coma."
"What!"
Everyone's eyes widened upon hearing this news!
"How is this possible?!"
"How can a transcendent from the countryside defeat Grott?"
"Grott has already learned knight martial techniques and even Saint's Slash. Even in the academy, there aren't many energy level two users who can defeat him."
"Are you sure you didn't see wrongly?" Viscount Morton's brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Ferguson has also mastered several intermediate spells. As long as he has time to prepare, no second-level transcendents could be his opponent."
"So how could he be defeated by a kid who has never been taught professionally?"
"Where'd you get this information?" Viscount West questioned the servant. The servant kneeled on the ground in fear and trembled as he said, "I'm telling the truth. Someone has already carried the two young masters over."
As the servant spoke, a large group of people walked in from the door, bustling with activity. Among the people, two collapsed figures were being carried over.
Viscount Morton and Viscount West immediately walked over, Viscount Alger and Mayor Isaac following behind.
They gasped when they got close to the crowd and saw the two people being carried.
"It's actually true!" The other nobles behind Viscount Morton and Viscount West said in surprise. They saw Grott and Ferguson, both unconscious and weak.
There was a footprint on their faces. Obviously, they had been crushed and kicked by someone out of the ring!
"How did this happen?"
"How did he defeat two students from the academy at the same time?"
The other nobles looked at Grott and Ferguson in disbelief.
Viscount Morton checked on Grott's injuries. He coldly said with his fists clenched, "Bring me that boy from the countryside. He dared to injure a noble at such an important ball!"
"I think he's ignoring the empire's laws!"
On the other side, Viscount West also nodded. That boy had also beaten up his son during this important occasion. Due to that, he lost so much face in front of all the nobles.
If it weren't for Viscount Alger, Mayor Isaac, and the other nobles being around, they would've taken action personally.
At this moment, a figure with golden hair pushed the crowd aside and ran to Mayor Isaac.
Catherine had also returned to the cocktail party. She looked around in a panic and sighed in relief when she didn't see Arthur and Jynx.
She looked at Grott and Ferguson, bruised and battered.
Catherine's gaze turned cold as she said to Mayor Isaac, "Father, Arthur had provoked Grott and Ferguson several times at the cocktail party. He took this opportunity to injure them."
"He's just a commoner, and he doesn't care about the dignity of us nobles!"
"Father, quickly send out your troops and take down this commoner who is causing trouble!"
As soon as Catherine finished speaking, two figures appeared in front of everyone. They were none other than Arthur and Jynx.
When Catherine saw Arthur walking over with his sword, she shuddered and shut her mouth as she stood behind Mayor Isaac.
Mayor Isaac looked at the situation before him and frowned. He raised his hand, ready to give orders. No matter whose fault it was, the important thing was that two nobles were seriously injured.
It was better to take down this commoner as soon as possible.
"Take this commoner..." He said halfway.
Viscount Alger interrupted him and said, "Wait a moment."
"Mayor Isaac, this person helped my daughter before. Can you do me a favor and let me ask him about the situation?"
With that said, Viscount Alger turned to look at Viscount Morton and Viscount West as he repeated his words.
Viscount Morton and Viscount West were so angry that they wanted to kill Arthur. However, they couldn't say anything else since Viscount Alger had already spoken. They picked up their sons.
Although it wasn't critical, Grott and Ferguson still had serious injuries. If they delayed this any longer, there might be residual effects.
After snorting coldly, the two ran to a nearby medical hall. Soon after, the surrounding nobles also slowly dispersed.
After Mayor Isaac and Viscount Alger bid each other farewell, Jynx jumped onto her father's back and excitedly said, "Dad, you didn't see it just now, but Arthur shattered Grott's high-grade magic tool with one strike!"
