Could Noland Lee's actions tonight bring trouble upon him?
For instance, hostility from the Pangula Family, hatred from Lord Fagen, and enmity from the Dread Sail Pirate Nation.
Yes.
But Noland Lee believed that as long as his strength improved quickly enough, trouble wouldn't be able to catch up to him.
As for whether the onlookers gave him positive or negative evaluations, he didn't even plan to listen. Because he deeply knew that in this world, one's reputation depended on his overall strength.
When Noland becomes powerful enough in the future, all the events that happened today would naturally become widely circulated legendary stories. There's no need to listen or correct others' evaluations of him before becoming strong.
Of course, all this was based on the premise of obeying laws and basic moral principles.
If one had great strength but committed heinous acts, no matter how much people feared and revered him, they wouldn't give him a positive evaluation.
