He was surprised to hear this—he hadn't sought out trouble, yet it had come knocking at his door. Still, he wasn't worried, nor was Grandpa or Father, as they now had full confidence in Apollo's strength.
Apollo quickly arrived in the main hall, where everyone was already waiting for him.
"Then, let's meet Count Stuart."
Moments later, Count Stuart and his brother, Baron Sam, entered the hall. The expressions on their faces were starkly different—Baron Sam appeared ashamed, his head bowed, while Count Stuart maintained a calm demeanour, his face adorned with a flattering smile.
Apollo immediately understood the reason for Count Stuart's visit. It was clear that the count was no fool and must have learned about the strength Apollo had shown during the competition in Hunter City.
