Chapter 54 What Do You Think About The Current King?
"What about the King's wives? The Royal Harem? How strong are they?"
"…"
"Fel?"
"…huh? Wha- What did you say?" Skyla, Lane, and Felberta were all shocked by his question.
"I asked how strong king's wives are, also don't look at me like that, I am just curious"
Felberta sighed and then answered,
"They are strong of course; I heard the strongest consort is at King Stage."
A smile appeared on Nux's face as he asked another question,
"Fel, what do you think about the current king?"
Not liking his tone and that smile on his face one bit, Felberta's face turned solemn,
"Nux, it does not matter what I think about the king. He is the king, the strongest person in this kingdom. Don't think something unrea-"
"Fel, do you really think I will do something I am not confident in? You know how scared of dying I am, right?"
"What confidence are you talking about!? How strong are you, huh!?" Felberta snapped in anger.
"I am very strong"
"How strong!? You might be the strongest person in the Advance stage! There are countless people stronger than you out there! Heck, even my butler is stronger than yo-"
"I am strong enough to defeat 5 Joyabs without breaking any sweat," Nux replied, Felberta, Skyla, and Lane, were stunned but Nux wasn't done yet.
"Not only that,
I can fight against a Grand Master Stage cultivator if we fight without weapons or have the same level star weapons."
"..."
"I can even assassinate an Expert Stage Cultivator. "
"..."
"That is how strong I am."
"…"
The three of them were dumbfounded by his words…
Just what did he do there to get so strong?
Suddenly, a thought appeared in Felberta's mind but before she could even question, Nux answered.
"No, it is not what you are thinking. I will not touch other women without telling you."
"…Then how did you get so strong? At what cultivation level are you right now?"
"I am still at the Advance stage"
Hearing his answer, Felberta boiled in anger, she thought that he was teasing her.
"So you are telling me that while being an Advance stage cultivator, you can defeat an Expert stage cultivator!?"
"I never said I can defeat an Expert Stage Cultivator, I said I can assassinate him. It is not the same"
"Th-"
*Bam*
Felberta wanted to say something but turned silent when a beast corpse appeared in front of her.
"Fiery Flaming Lion, a 4-star beast, which should have the same strength as a Grand Master Stage cultivator."
She then heard Nux's words and was dumbfounded.
"…Did you kill it?"
"Of course. It was so simple that I couldn't believe it myself"
"…"
"How about this, I will fight Joyab right in front of you, then you can decide for yourself if I am lying or not" Knowing that she still did not believe him, Nux offered.
"We'll do that then"
Felberta nodded in agreement. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Although she wanted to believe him, she just couldn't do it! This man in front of him was twisting all her logic! How can an Advance stage cultivator defeat a Grand Master stage cultivator?
…
Half an hour ago, the break ended and Joyab returned, but when he entered and saw Nux sitting on Felberta's chair with a smile on his face, his lips twitched in frustration.
'He returned…'
"Joyab, I want you to have a friendly spar with Nux" Felberta ordered.
"Huh? Viscount Felberta, isn't he just an Advance Stage? What if I hurt him?"
"Butler Joyab, you don't have to worry about it. Let's just start. Don't worry, I won't hit you too hard" Nux chuckled.
"…"
Joyab lips touched even more.
"Yes, Viscount Felberta, I will do as you said and will have a spar with him" Joyab bowed as he glared at Nux.
How dare a mere Advance Stage boy act arrogant in front of him?
I won't hit you too hard!? Should you not beg me not to go too hard on you instead!?
'I will punch that arrogant face yours…'
Joyab was angry.
"Alright, let's move to the garden" Felberta nodded.
…
In the garden, Nux and Joyab stood in front of each other.
Joyab was very eager to start and he didn't have to wait a lot as Viscount Felberta announced,
"Start"
Joyab then activated Steps Of Gale and disappeared from his spot.
Of course, that was only for Fel and the two maids, Nux on the other hand could clearly see Joyab running towards him with a pathetic display of Steps Of Gale.
He wasn't even at the beginner stage.
A few seconds later, Joyab appeared in front of Nux and tried to punch his face. Nux just dodged lazily and slapped his face.
*Slap*
*Bam*
Joyab's body was sent flying and he passed out.
The fight ended.
Felberta, Skyla, and Lane couldn't react in time and when they did, they couldn't believe their eyes.
They only saw Joyab dashing towards Nux at an incredible speed before flying back at an even faster speed.
What in the hell happened?
That was the only question that ran through their mind.
Skyla quickly woke up from her reverie and rushed towards Joyab.
Her eyes widened when she saw his state and she shouted,
"He passed out!"
"What!?" Felberta and Lane exclaimed in surprise.
"I told you right? Even 5 Joyabs won't make me sweat, let alone one. Do you believe me now?"
Then they heard Nux's words and couldn't help but believe them.
Nux was a monster.
An anomaly.
They can't judge him with logic.
"So, My Darling Fel, I will ask you again," ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"What do you think about the current king?"
