NovelEnglishEven if there was initially anyone who would want to defend Eric before, now there was none. Who would ever think of defending a stupid country-bumpkin that was trying to bite more than he could chew?
As for Eric, he just stood there unperturbed by all the changes in the surroundings or the changes in other people's expressions.
"You damn country-bumpkin who doesn't know his place! How dare you touch Miss Wei like that, are you tired of living or something!?"
"What did I do exactly!?"
"Wasn't she the one asking for it!?"
"Are you saying that I shouldn't have touched her at all!?"
"Then wouldn't she have ended up in a much worse position than she is right now!? She might have even fallen to the ground headfirst and cracked her head or injured her pretty face.
"Ughh~! This…."
"Youuuu…"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYou truly disappoint me, Mr. Knight! I can't imagine how your Miss Wei must feel after seeing this poor performance from you!"
Just what kind of country-bumpkin was he!? He was able to shut them all up without even lifting his voice, as he just calmly argued and set them up.
"Now you tell me, Miss Wei, what would you like to witness yourself, would you like to have fallen and suffered grave injuries and complain about my misbehavior, or have it as it happened!?"
"I…, I…"
"Well, you don't have to say anything! I think that the whole crowd understood your answer!"
"What is going on here!? Why is there such a commotion!?"
No one was talking for a moment, before a stealthy old man appeared and told everything to the guards, who looked at Eric and that Miss Wei with cold and scary gazes.
One of the guards didn't like Eric's expression and reaction, so he immediately decided to make a move as he said,
As he heard those words, Eric just opened his eyes without much interest as he said in a calm and collected voice,
His words made the guard even more infuriated with him, as he started screaming in a menacing tone,
Otherwise, even if the Jade Emperor comes down here, they won't be able to change this father's decision!"
"Hahaaahh~! Do you think that you can recover that flower and take care of it!? A country bumpkin like you can!?"
"Hahahahah~! Uaahahahahah~! This is the greatest joke I have ever heard! What bet do you want to make!?
"I will offer you a 'blood rose' cutting, and my family heirloom a small pendant made of Emperor Jade!"
With those thoughts in their minds, they looked at Eric with a bit of doubt and suspicion, as Eric pulled the 'blood rose' cutting and the small pendant from his pocket.
As for the guard, he was looking at Eric's stuff just like a hungry wolf, or hyena, that would jump at any moment to rob them away.
"I would suggest against saying that I stole these from you, as the 'blood rose' cutting I took out has a different age and variation from the 'blood rose' in your Madam's garden.
Now, forgetting about all that, do you have the balls to bet with me or not!?"
The guard seemed to think deeply for a few moments, but remember the state that the 'blood rose' was now, he didn't think he would lose as he said,
Come with me, let us witness your Godly skills!"

This time, my father specially sent me here to have a look at Madam Long's 'blood rose' and try my best to help out, but I was stuck in the crowd!
The guard took a good look at the young woman in front of him, before seeming in a dilemma about what to do, as he finally said,
While he said that, his gaze upon Wei QingPing was a bit weird, he looked like he wanted to devour her.
"But of course, I will make sure to pass your word to my father! Hehehe~!" Follow current s on Noᴠelꜰire
Whether it was a big leader, or just a security guard, the moment that they had some power they would surely make use of it.
With those thoughts in mind, they finally arrived at the garden where the 'blood rose' was found, as the guard walked forward and spoke some words in the ear of the examiner.
No matter what, this whole mess would be over once the 'blood rose' was totally destroyed, and since Eric was there to mess around, he could take the blame for the matter all the same.
At this time the guard looked at Eric full of mockery as he said,
While Eric had a complicated expression on his face…
