Sovereign of the Firmaments

Chapter 7 - Grayeye Family



"Kid, how do you want to die?"

While saying that, the silver armoured young man emitted the lesser knight realm pressure.

"It is not me who is going to die today."

There was not the slightest fear in Lucas' eyes as he surveyed the dining hall in the inn before replying to the silver armoured young man.

"Huh?"

Stefan frowned when he saw that Lucas was still not showing any signs of fear.

"whoever kills him, can have these 100 gold coins."

As for Lucas, he secretly took out 100 gold coins from the small pouch and placed them on an empty table.

"Haha....Kid, do you think some will listen to you just before those 100 gold coins?"

Stefan started laughing as he looked at the 100 golden coins on the table.

The others who were eating in the dining hall looked at Lucas and shook their heads.

Even though 1 00 gold coins were not small, it was not worth fighting against three lesser knights and a lesser mage just for 100 gold coins.

"Thud"

"500 gold coins."

Seeing no response from anyone from the dining hall, Lucas didn't show any emotions on his face as he placed another 400 gold coins on the table.

As a deadly assassin in the previous life, Lucas had seen many things and knew mercenaries would do anything for the money.

Judging from the attire of those who were eating in the dining hall, Lucas knew that most of them were mercenaries.

"Huh?"

Stefan was surprised to see 500 gold coins on the table because he didn't think Lucas was so rich to casually take out 500 gold coins without any hesitation.

However, no one came forward to take his gold coins, making him frown a little.

'Moreover, no one is coming forward to steal the gold coins. What am I missing?'

Lucas felt like he was missing something and carefully observed each and everyone in the dining hall.

Lucas, in his past life, had excellent observational skills. So, he was confident in finding out something.

As for how to protect his gold coins from the thieves, of course, Lucas had his own methods.

"You must be wondering why no one is coming forward, right?"

While Lucas was busy checking for a clue from his surroundings, Stefan started explaining to him with a mock, "In this town, killing and stealing is not allowed. That's the reason why no one is trying to steal your gold."

'Oh. So, that's how it is.'

Once he learned the reason, Lucas nodded his head at the silver armoured young man before looking at a middle-aged man sitting in the corner with a young man who was wearing a purple-coloured robe.

What caught Lacas' eye was the lightning symbol on the purple-coloured robe.

"Thud"

"1000 gold coins...as long as you beat him and his friends, these 1000 gold coins are yours."

While observing his surroundings, Lucas took out another 500 golden coins and added them to the previous 500 gold coins.

"Kid, I will do it for you."

Since 1000 gold coins was a good amount even for the top families in the Silverstone town. So, all the mercenaries in the dining hall were ready for the offer.

To them, 1000 gold coins were dozens of missions where they had to put their life on the line. Moreover, 1000 gold coins are worth going against dozens of lesser knights, not to mention there were only three of them along with a lesser mage.

'That middle-aged man was not as simple as he looks.'

However, the middle-aged man and the purple-robed young man didn't move from their seats as though they were not enticed by the 1000 gold coins.

Also, Lucas felt that man's cultivation must be higher than a lesser knight; however, since the other party was minding his business, Lucas was also watching the scene in front of him.

Currently, Stefan and his friends are surrounded by a dozen lesser knights and half a dozen lesser mages.

"Do you know who we are?"

"We are invited by the Grayeye family to this town. If anyone dares to lay a hand on us, you better get ready to face the consequences."

"I am the fiancee of the second young master of the Grayeye family. If he finds out about you ganging up on us, you know what he will do, right?".

Stefan and his gang panicked as they hurriedly used the name of a family in the Silverstone town.

Also, Paula, the female mage hurriedly used her identity, making all the mercenaries surrounding them back off.

Grayeye family is one of the powerful families in the Silverstone town and as mercenaries, they didn't want to have a feud with that family.

So, everyone went back to their places.

'Phew'

Seeing that everyone went back to their places, Stefan and his gang heaved a sigh of relief.

"Did you see that?"

"You got money? So what? As long as we have the Grayeye family's support, you are nothing."

Paula, Stefan, Cody and Mason mocked Lucas.

'Big brother. Let's go back and wait until Grandpa Bernard comes back.'

Seeing that they were in no position to go against Stefan and his gang, Evan said to his brother in a low voice.

'Damn it...Grayeye family.'

Lucas didn't give any reply to Evan as he cursed the Grayeye family.

"You want to go away after making such a big fuss here?"

As a lesser knight, Stefan and others had good senses. So, they heard Evan's words loud and clear.

Soon, Stefan walked towards Lucas and Evan with an intent to do something bad to them.

'Looks like I need to make this dining hall bloody...sigh.'

Lucas sighed when he saw Stefan walking towards him as he silently picked the toothpicks from the table and adjusted them in between his fingers.

If possible, Lucas wanted to avoid this; however, since he took the matters into his own hands, he decided to do anything to stop Stefan from touching him or his brother again.
