Chapter Eighty Eight Punishment On
Alice nodded in agreement: "Luck is the most important part of strength. Go to the Eternal Dragon Palace to sacrifice a few more times. Also, don't think that if you defeat Amiron and Schaeve, you can deal with other Archmonds! Those two wastes are completely a shame for Archmond. To be honest, I really regret that the distance between our territory is more than 3,000 kilometers."
Raymond smiled and said, "I'm sorry too! If our two territories can be connected together, a marquis might be produced! However, the real battlefield is in the infinite plane. I look forward to the day when you can know your exclusive plane coordinates."
Alice also smiled and said, "I have the same expectations. However, today's things may not end so easily. You have already made Goton angry, and this guy is a little scared of me. Take care of your little baron collar!"
After saying that, Alice stood up and walked out of the box. When she reached the door, she suddenly turned around, glanced at everyone in the room, and said lightly: "If I were you, I would definitely go home a few more times in the near future to see if anything happened."
In an instant, almost everyone except Raymond and Faren changed their faces. They all understood the naked threat in Alice's words. Folk's incident actually made a very bad start. The struggle between the two great families will no longer follow the ancient aristocratic tradition and begin to use any means.
It took Raymond to wake up from contemplation long after Alice left.
The atmosphere in the box was very depressing, and everyone's faces were not particularly good-looking. The Joseph family had a long history. As strong men who depended on Joseph, each of them actually had a net worth and status equivalent to a small nobleman, with more or less private property. Even Faren and Nassibi themselves were hereditary barons, so Alice's threat was direct and effective.
The result of Folk's failure is obvious. All the wealthy bosses are not fools, and they will be so stupid that they cannot see the conspiracy behind the whole incident. There is no need to wait until tomorrow, later today, the process of this conflict will reach other families, including some details outside the scene. Time is too hasty and they have not been able to erase all traces.
Then, according to the convention, the next step is the revenge of the Archmond family. Folk's disability is part of the price, but it is still not enough. He did not die, and there was a factor in order to avoid trouble, to retain further revenge, and even to take advantage of the problem. This is a disguised manifestation of the traditional aristocratic revenge custom. Tooth for tooth, blood for blood, until it is seized.
But it would be another matter if Archmond targeted the core forces of these non-Joseph family members. The Duke of Joseph would probably be willing to see such an ending, because no one except Nasippi and Faren had followed the Joseph family for generations.
Taking the poisonous snake as an example, he was just a strong man hired by the Joseph family temporarily. He probably thought that even until he died, he always thought that the core of the incident was the battle between two playboys, and he didn't know the inside story of the whole incident at all. Even if he died, he just asked the Joseph family to take out some pension gold coins. In the eyes of the big family with a strong foundation, gold coins are the least worth cherishing.
By the same token, the value of these strong men can be measured in a similar way to the Joseph family. Although their individual strength can be called strong men, the Archmond family most lacks personal strong men. If Archmond attacks them with all his strength, none of the people present will be spared. The Joseph family is not without strong men who can match Goliath or even Goton and Mordred, but the problem is that they will definitely not mobilize these strong men for the small people on the outside.
Even if it is enlarged to the family level, the same is true. Now Archmond, who is just the Gordon lineage, can vaguely confront the entire Joseph family. If all Archmonds are regarded as a whole, then it will definitely be an overwhelming advantage to Joseph from the perspective of an individual strong man!
Fortunately, these lunatics have never really joined forces, and they even have betrayals and betrayals, such as just now.
But now, the temporary alliance between Gordon, Goliath and Alice is enough to give Duke Joseph a headache, and it is no problem to deal with their subordinates.
So for a moment, everyone was watching Raymond. Only when the Joseph family was willing to protect them could Archmond focus on the Joseph's direct members. But this kind of thing...
Raymond looked at his subordinates who had been following him for many years and said slowly: "With Alice's personality, that was definitely not an empty threat just now. So if the family wants to protect you, it is very likely that it will mean a war with Archmond."
Everyone's faces became even more ugly. However, Raymond smiled confidently and said, "...But, I have not given up on my partner's habit, so I am looking forward to fighting Alice and even Gordon on the battlefield."
Everyone, including Faren, breathed a sigh of relief, and their hearts surged with joy and gratitude.
Richard had returned to Floating Island No. 7-3. After Semir handed him over to the housekeeper, he disappeared immediately. The arrow of the poisonous snake actually caused her extremely heavy damage. The arrow fired from the refined alchemy crossbow was extremely powerful, directly penetrating her magic armor and skin, reaching the internal organs. The attached compound poison effect and some negative curses that she had not yet identified were eroding her power. She just supported him to bring Richard back to Floating Island with an unknown talent ability of "toughness".
The housekeeper was also shocked when he saw Richard's appearance. His visible vital parts were bruised and purple, and even blood was leaking outwards. All the clothes on his chest, abdomen and spine were broken. It was obviously not caused by tearing, but were shattered by extremely strong forces. It can be imagined that the damage suffered by his body.
When the high-level magician of the family arrived, he frowned when he saw Richard's injuries. While preparing magical techniques, he suggested using external application to treat some lighter wounds. This can reduce the consumption of some magical techniques and allow him to retain some energy to check if there are any sequelae after the operation.
