Chapter 86: Poison

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The banquet of the Glory Sand Castle began.

Music sounded from the cubicle. The orchestra actually played at the banquet. The maids stood at the side, but there were very few guests in the banquet room. Viscount Samuel sat at the head of the table and raised his glass to greet the guests.

“It’s the honor of the Goode Family for Her Highness to come to Glory Sand. We originally planned to hold a grand banquet and invite the famous people of the Viscount’s territory to pay Her Highness a visit. However, Her Highness has been exhausted all the way, and Lord Kang De is not very used to the etiquette on the continent. Therefore, I took the initiative to reduce the number of people at the banquet. It’s only the internal members of the Goode Family who welcome the guests from Goethe.”

He raised his glass to Tina. “I hope you don’t think we’re being rude.”

Tina smiled. “No, that’s for the best. You know, Uncle Samuel, I’ve never liked such red tape since I was young. Or rather, Tedrell doesn’t like it.”

“Yes, yes.”

Viscount Samuel chuckled and said, “Your entire family is like this, including the Grand Duke. We adventured together when we were young. He… Haha, I can’t say ugly things about your father in front of the children. This is too rude.”

Everyone laughed.

It was harmonious.

Kang De was not very happy.

This was because the person sitting opposite him was Knight Lost.

Logically speaking, Kang De’s seat was the most respected guest after Tina. In terms of etiquette, the Goode family’s hospitality was impeccable.

However, he felt that this was not a coincidence but deliberate. Knight Lost was sitting opposite him.

This fellow had been looking at him.

What made Kang De even more uncomfortable was the other party’s gaze.

There was no personal emotion mixed in. There was no anger, jealousy, hostility, disdain, or anything in this gaze.

There was only scrutiny.

Without a trace of emotion, he looked down like a god in the clouds. He looked down at the mediocre lives and saw through their emotions.

This was how Knight Lost looked at Kang De.

It was as if he wanted to see through him.

This gaze… was a little disgusting, especially for modern people from Earth.

When the concept of equality was deeply rooted in people’s hearts, this gaze and attitude would be despised. Whoever looked at people with such an attitude in modern Earth could not escape a scolding.

In any case, Kang De could not stand it.

Due to Hong San’s reminder and Cleveland’s warning, his impression of this Lost had already become negative. He really could not help but look at him. Kang De said coldly, “Have you always looked at people like this?”

Knight Lost spoke. His voice was light and indifferent, “Not used to it?”

Kang De sneered at him.

Lost said calmly, “You’ll get used to it soon.”

Kang De raised his eyebrows and said, “What do you mean?”

Lost sat elegantly and said quietly, “I heard that compared to the nobles of the Empire, the Cathay upholds a stronger monarchy and an even closer relationship. The hierarchy is clearly divided and can’t be crossed. This is especially appreciated by the Eldest Prince… Since Mr. Kang De is from Cathay, you must live under the strict rules of order. Could it be that you’re not used to being watched by the higher-ups?”

Kang De looked straight at him. “I’m not used to being stared at like this by self-righteous lowlifes.”

Lost’s expression did not change. He picked up his glass and took a sip. “How rude.”

Kang De said indifferently, “Where did this crazy dog come from?”

It was already very strange to be targeted by this idiot for no reason. This fellow actually jumped in public at the banquet. It was really too strange. Kang De sneered, but his body quietly tensed.

Out of vigilance, even if he was attending a banquet, he had brought along an electric baton, pepper spray, and a pistol to defend himself. He had also brought three bottles of enhancement medicine. Even if he suddenly attacked during the banquet, he could take this guy’s life. Therefore, he did not panic at all. D*mn, who was afraid of who?

With the gun in his hand, he did not panic. Kang De looked back without backing down.

“Eh…”

Knight Lost sensed his gaze and a ripple appeared in his eyes. “Interesting…”

“Wait!”

Tina had already seen the argument between the two of them just now. Seeing that Kang De had already retorted, she paused her thoughts of interfering and waited for his counterattack to end before standing up.

She looked at Knight Lost and said in a calm but sharp tone, “Knight, Mr. Kang De is my esteemed guest. Ignoring your gaze, don’t you think you’re too arrogant to claim to be superior in front of him?”

The knight turned to look at the princess. Unexpectedly, his gaze did not contain any admiration, only respect. He nodded and said, “I’m sorry, but Your Highness, with all due respect, you’re too kind and gullible. Of course, to women, this is not a flaw.”

“Lost!”

Viscount Samuel shouted, “I’ve already said that Knight Glenn’s matter has come to an end. If you still have the thought of standing up for him and provoking Lord Kang De, get lost and return to the capital now!”

When Knight Lost heard this, he lowered his head to his father and said, “I understand, Father.”

Seeing that the banquet was a little awkward, Lynch, who was sitting at the bottom, rolled his eyes and smiled, “Speaking of which, Father, Lord Kang De mentioned something interesting to us today…”

It seemed that the little boy was more favored in the family. Not to mention Viscount Samuel, even Knight Lost turned to look at his younger brother patiently.

Lynch talked about Kang De’s good deeds today, the little beggar called Liszt, and more people who needed help, as well as his cooperation plan.

He said, “If Lord Kang De has a very good plan and enough funds, can I do this with Sister?”

Viscount Samuel pondered for a moment and was about to answer when he heard Lost say, “Lynch, you’re still young. It’s not strange for you to have such naive thoughts. However, I’m already following the Eldest Prince now. Perhaps you have to inherit Father’s title. As the future head of the Goode family, you shouldn’t waste your excess kindness on those lowly people.”

His tone was calm as if he was saying something natural.

“One day you’ll understand that ignoring them is the greatest kindness. Their early death is a relief to themselves and the world.”

Lynch looked at Kang De in surprise.

Kang De said coldly, “Knight Lost, don’t forget that the exquisite plates you use, the delicious food you eat, and the luxurious clothes you wear are all made by those inferior people you speak of. Without them, what will you eat and wear?”

Lost nodded and said, “You’re right. Without these inferior people to feed and serve us, the world will become very troublesome. This is the reason for their existence, but this doesn’t mean that I have to thank them, nor does it mean that I have to take care of them, right? On the contrary, they have to thank me. It’s an upper-class person like me who gave them the chance to serve me and survive. Isn’t that so?”

He seemed to disdain discussing this with Kang De. The knight turned to look at Lynch and said, “You have to remember that lowly commoners are lowly commoners. They have no dignity, no honor, don’t know what’s good for them, and forget their righteousness when they see benefits. They’re like tools. If they’re useful, they’ll be used. If they’re not, they’ll be thrown away. If they dare to resist, they’ll be killed. In any case, they’re like weeds on the plain. If you cut one, another will appear.”

“As long as there’s land, we never have to worry that no one will plant it.”

Lynch’s expression became even more confused and conflicted.

It seemed that his values had been impacted…

Kang De sneered.

He could no longer be bothered to argue with this so-called knight.

You could never wake up a person who was pretending to be asleep.

Sometimes, words were useless. Only facts could convince people.

Knight Lost looked at Kang De with a calm gaze, “Mr. Kang De, you seem to have some objections. I discovered that as a Cathayan noble, you have a lot of sympathy and a good impression of lowly commoners.”

Kang De said coldly, “So what? Does it concern you?”

At this moment, Viscount Samuel ended this conversation and used his clever words to bring up another topic.

However, Kang De’s interest had already been completely ruined.

The reason why he did not leave was that he was concerned about Tina’s apologetic gaze. He did not want to make things too difficult for her. In addition, Knight Lost did not provoke him anymore, so Kang De could barely sit still.

When the banquet was almost over, he left the banquet and returned to his room.

Lying on the soft bed, Kang De looked at the ceiling in a daze, feeling very uncomfortable.

The feeling of incompatibility… was completely different from this so-called noble.

D*mn.

At this moment, there was a light knock on the door.

Who was it? Tina? Or Cleveland?

Kang De got up and opened the door. A head of honey-colored hair came into view.

It was Hannah.

The girl did not change out of her banquet dress. Her face was a little red and her expression was a little apologetic and uneasy. She said softly, “Lord… Kang De, I’m here…”

Kang De guessed her intentions. “…Apologize?”

Hannah’s face stiffened and she was about to cry. “Yes… yes, I’m really sorry. My brother has changed completely after a trip to the capital… He wasn’t like this in the past…”

Kang De welcomed her in. After the girl sat down, she apologized to him, “I really don’t know how to say it. Brother used to love us very much, but after he went to the capital to be the Eldest Prince’s squire, his personality changed drastically when he returned and he became cold. If not for the fact that he still loves us, I would suspect that his thoughts have been occupied by some evil soul…”

She told him how good her brother had been before and how strange it was now. She even recalled what had happened when she was young. When she came back to her senses, she had already told him for a long time.

“I’m really sorry!”

She apologized again, “In short, Lynch and I support your thoughts. We were born with a good life and are far better than them. In that case, why don’t you help them? They’re all humans and haven’t done anything wrong… Therefore, if you think of a way to help them, please tell Lynch and me. We’ll definitely help…”

As she apologized, she stood up and bade farewell. Kang De noticed a wine bottle in her hand.

“This is…”

“Ahhhh!”

Hannah exclaimed, “I almost forgot! This! This is my compensation! It’s my sincere work! I brewed it myself! It’s very delicious! Please try it!”

She seemed to be ashamed of her rashness. She blushed and put down the wine. As she retreated, she apologized, “Please try it! If you don’t like it, you can secretly pour it away. They all think that the wine I brewed is a little strange, but I really worked hard to make it. Really…”

The girl left the room like a frightened rabbit. In the end, she stuck out her little head and said softly to Kang De, “Your Excellency Kang De, my opinion is the same as yours. I also pity those commoners. Sometimes, I’m really envious of you. You can explain it to my father and brother openly.”

With that, she jogged away.

The fragrance of the girl still lingered in the air.

Kang De was stunned for a moment before laughing.

As expected, he could not judge a group with an arbitrary evaluation.

There were idiots and relatively kind people among the nobles.

He opened the bottle and smelled it. A fragrant and pleasant smell wafted out, refreshing him.

With just a sniff, he immediately felt thirsty and wanted to drink.

Kang De was about to say something when a light suddenly flashed through his mind. He hesitated.

The Glory Sand Castle made him feel a little uncomfortable.

He was wary of everything in the other world.

When talking about the siblings today, Hong San wanted to say something but hesitated.

Lynch said that Hannah liked to blend strange things.

Unexpectedly, Kang De poured the wine onto the table.

Just a little.

Then, he pointed his finger.

Element Extraction.

The blue elements, the fiery red elements, and various elements broke down and floated away, forming colorful lights.

Kang De’s expression changed.

This was because, under the stimulation of many elements, he saw a dark green elemental ball of light.

It shone with a fatal and dangerous color.

This was…

Poison.
