80: Olivia's favor
The Koruk Family Earth Knight guards on the ground saw Arthur so casually toss Dean, and their anger grew even more.
They then quickly leapt up, catching the falling Dean.
The Earth Knight guard looked at the dying Dean in his arms and dared not delay, quickly taking out an Advanced healing magic scroll from his space ring.
After setting Dean's bones, he immediately used it.
As the scroll released a strong life force from within its life magic, Dean's vital signs slowly stabilized.
Seeing that Dean's life was no longer in danger, the Earth Knight guard finally turned his angry gaze towards Arthur, who had also returned to the ground.
But when he glimpsed the Two-Headed Wyvern beneath Arthur, a look of apprehension flashed across his face.
He alone couldn't deal with the Two-Headed Wyvern, and a wise man knows when to retreat. In the end, the Earth Knight guard swallowed the words he was about to shout.
After all, Arthur dared not kill Dean, but that didn't mean he wouldn't dare kill him!
However, not shouting didn't mean the Earth Knight guard wouldn't speak; his tone simply became calmer:
"Baron Arthur, you won this duel, but don't you think you went a bit too far?
Moreover, there's no rule in knightly duels about taking someone else's space ring!"
An Earth Knight's eyesight is excellent, and even though Arthur was five hundred meters high, his act of taking Dean's space ring was still seen by the guard.
It should be known that the items in Dean's space ring were quite valuable, so the Earth Knight guard tried to get it back.
How could something that fell into Arthur's hands be returned? He simply put on an innocent expression and said:
"What space ring? I don't know. Could it have been lost during the fight? Go look for it yourself!
Don't wrongly accuse people!"
Faced with Arthur's rogue behavior, the Koruk Family's Earth Knight guard knew that Arthur had no intention of returning it.
He couldn't help but say:
"Things from the Koruk Family are not so easy to take!"
Hearing this, Arthur's expression hardened, and he retorted:
"Oh, how are they not easy to take? Can you show me?"
"You...!"
Faced with Arthur's bullying attitude, the Koruk Family's Earth Knight guard was so angry he couldn't speak.
Fearing Arthur would act against him, he ultimately didn't utter any harsh words. He simply carried the still-sleeping Dean and left with a gloomy expression.
If he couldn't provoke him, couldn't he at least avoid him? He would just get revenge later!
Arthur watched Dean and the other person leave, not stopping them.
At the same time, Arthur noticed that David, after Arthur gave him an apologetic look, also followed the two of them away.
David was, after all, a member of the Koruk Family. With Dean beaten to such a state by Arthur, he couldn't stay any longer, or he would only be ostracized by the Family.
Arthur understood this and nodded with a smile.
Afterward, he dismounted from the Two-Headed Wyvern Andel's back and walked to his parents' side.
The Count and Countess looked at Arthur with smiles mixed with support.
They knew some of Arthur's methods and believed he could resolve any corresponding troubles, so they naturally supported Arthur in giving Dean a good lesson.
His elder brother Art and second sister Arina were originally worried about Arthur, as they didn't understand Arthur's strength, and in their perception, a Duke was not to be trifled with.
But their parents told them to trust Arthur, and this trust in their Family instilled in them the belief that Arthur had the ability to solve problems.
Under this trust, Arina almost became Arthur's little fangirl, because in her eyes,
Arthur tormented Dean to vent her best friend Olivia's anger, which was truly too handsome.
At the same time, Arthur felt a little embarrassed under Arina's admiring gaze!
Arina was extremely excited at this moment. As Arthur approached, she excitedly said:
"Third brother, your performance this time was truly dashing; you've really impressed me!
I believe Olivia must be captivated by you!"
The Marquis of Roses and the Earl of Mad Lion's families were not far apart in the martial Arts arena stands; in fact, their positions were adjacent.
So, as soon as Arina spoke, Arthur instinctively looked towards Olivia, who was not far away.
And when Olivia saw Arthur looking at her, she immediately averted her gaze, and a blush involuntarily crept onto her face, as if her good impression of Arthur had indeed greatly increased.
Because everyone knew this duel started because of Olivia, and Arthur's domineering defeat of her competitor naturally made the young girl's good impression of him greatly increase.
After all, people on the Continent of Gods inherently admire strength.
Discovering that Olivia's good impression of him had indeed greatly increased, Arthur smiled inwardly, thinking that this banquet was not in vain.
It was quite good to increase Olivia's favorability, not to mention Dean's space ring was also a gain.
Although Arthur inwardly liked what Arina said, Olivia was not far away, so he still had to be humble, waving his hand and saying:
"My dear second sister, you think everyone is like you! So easily impressed by people!"
Seeing Arthur still Taunt her, Arina immediately ran over and pulled Olivia closer, and the Marquis of Roses's Family also took the opportunity to gather there.
After all, Arthur's conflict with the Koruk Family was because of Olivia, so they still needed to greet them.
After they had greeted each other, Olivia also looked at Arthur with a worried gaze.
Although she had long guessed that Arthur had a trump card that made him unafraid of a Duke, rationality told her not to worry about Arthur, but emotion still made her voice her concern:
"Arthur, is the Koruk Family's revenge really not a problem?"
To completely dispel the worries of his close ones, including Olivia, Arthur replied with utmost seriousness:
"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with the Koruk Family!"
At these words, Arthur's Family, who already had confidence, showed no change in expression, but the Marquis of Roses's Family's faces visibly relaxed.
After all, they would be in-laws in the future. Since Arthur had already offended Dean, if he had no way to deal with it, they would also be implicated.
As for why they trusted Arthur's words so much:
Firstly, because of the many miracles Arthur had displayed over the past six months.
Secondly, Arthur had revealed many somewhat secret pieces of information to both families, such as showing his parents the Sky Knight, and demonstrating his absolute control over the Mountain Giant to The Marquis and Marchioness Yueji.
These matters were convincing.
While the two families chatted and laughed, the hundreds of other nobles present were not so optimistic about Arthur.
After all, that was a Duke, the Koruk Family, with a Sky Knight guarding it; how could they be so easy to deal with!
Even if they greatly admired Arthur's displayed strength and his courage to defy the Koruk Family,
Due to the Duke's influence, they now dared not get close to the Earl of Mad Lion's Family!
