Chapter 264 Before the showdown (Part 2)

Corinna's private villa is located in the corner of the eastern district of Uglu. The eastern district is a noble settlement area. Although the location is relatively remote, it is incomparable to civilian areas and commercial areas in terms of surrounding environment and safety.

The three-story white building is surrounded by grass and gardens. The fine iron fence with family emblems separates the trees and roads, forming a small independent space. Street lights sprinkle orange lights on the clean and tidy streets, making them quiet and peaceful.

This villa was one of the family industries that the kingdom gave to her after Corinna returned to Ugru. Since Leon was assassinated twice, Corinna strongly requested that he temporarily moved here to live.

Very few assassins dare to enter the aristocratic settlement area for assassination, not only because the aristocratic zone is tightly defended, but more importantly, such behavior will definitely violate the bottom line and will cause strong reactions from all nobles.

So when Leon was about to rest, he could not help but be stunned when he heard the movement from downstairs - were the assassins in the royal capital really so unscrupulously?

However, the servant's report made him realize that it was not the case, that a guest came to visit.

Of course, this guest has a very unusual identity. Even if he suddenly comes to the door late at night, the servants and guards who are guarding the villa will never dare to be dissatisfied at all.

"Hello, Duke of Barkley"

This uninvited guest is one of the top figures in the Kingdom of Bemon, a veteran of the Great Rhine family, and also Corina's uncle.

Barkley Rhine is known for his bravery and was once the leader of the Wang Family Guards. Although he did not sit in this position for long because of Queen Sophia, the people who have accumulated over the years in the Greater Rhine and the Wang ** team will never fail.

There is no doubt that after Corinna's closest relative passed away, Barkley can be said to be the elder who is closest to her blood. She was able to return to Ugru and regain the title of princess, and Barkley made great efforts.

It is definitely not a coincidence that this big shot chose to visit Corinna when she had just left.

The duke was wearing casual clothes and only two knight entourages were beside him. He sat on the sofa in the living room, staring at Leon's lion's eyes full of strong scrutiny.

"Vissue Rean, sit down. I came over to have something to tell you..." the Duke said lightly, with the breath of a superior in his words.

"Please let the Duke make it clear..." Leon said unhappily and sat down opposite him.

Barkley frowned and pondered for a moment and said, "Vissole Rean, I know Corinna has been very close to you recently, and I can see that she likes you very much, but..."

He stared at Leon, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "The gap between you is too big, it is impossible to be together."

Leon sneered in his heart.

If he was just an ordinary little nobleman, under the threat of this great duke, he would probably have to endure humiliation and bow down.

But Barkley wanted to scare him so much that he underestimated himself.

"Duke, what do you mean?" Leon asked with a smile: "Do you want me to leave Corinna? It is best not to appear in Ugru in the future. In return, you will throw a few bones for me to gnaw?"

There was a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were as strong as the other party, and his words were sincere but indescribable sarcasm. This was the response of the needle hidden in Leon.

The two knights standing behind the Duke changed their colors, and their two powerful auras locked on Leon at the same time.

Leon straightened his waist, and his tiger's eyes flashed, and his momentum suddenly surged like a tiger awakened from his sleep.

The stronger you meet, the stronger you are. Maybe Barkley is powerful, maybe the two knights behind him are extremely powerful, but there is absolutely no possibility of making Leon bow down.

"Vissole Rean..."

There was a hint of appreciation in the Duke of Barkley's lion's eyes.

If we put aside the Corinna factor, he still has some good feelings for Leon. After all, Leon has achieved his current status entirely through his own strength, and is far beyond the reach of ordinary playboys.

But the more this happens, the more he wants to stop the relationship between Corinna and Leon.

"I appreciate your courage, but it's not enough to have courage alone. I've prepared a carriage for you outside and you can leave tomorrow morning at the latest."

After a pause, he continued: "If you accept my advice, you will be promoted again within half a month and you will be given a new fief within the Holy Island Province."

Earl's title Holy Land

For countless nobles, this is definitely their dream lifelong pursuit.

You should know that although the viscount and the Count are only one level apart, they are a huge dividing line. The Count-level lord is considered a figure in the entire kingdom and truly joins the ranks of the nobles of the top.

Not to mention the territory within the Shengyao Province, many famous Ugru families may not be able to own one.

What a big pen

When Leon heard the price offered by the other party, he suddenly felt very excited.

This duke definitely came on behalf of the top leaders of the kingdom. Not only did he want to break up himself and Corinna, but he was also forcing himself to take the team again and give up the temple and turn to the other party's camp.

"I want me to give up Corinna, and I want me to give up the duel with Sayat, and retreat without fighting in exchange for an Earl?" A strong mockery appeared on the corner of Leon's lips: "Duke Barkley, I think the temple will definitely be very unhappy. You used such low chips to buy a God-Blessed Warrior."

The face of the God-Blessed Warrior Duke Buckley changed suddenly.

Of course he knew what the God-Blessed Warrior was, and he also understood the meaning of it. However, the Duke never expected that Leon would be a God-Blessed Warrior.

Kingdom, how many years have there been no new God-Blessed Warriors

The Duke suddenly understood why the temple and the High Priest Farns spared no effort to support Leon, and why Leon could create many miracles and even control the barbarian Frost Giant War Puppet

He soon remembered the miracle that once appeared in the Temple of Tormond, as if it was from that time that Leon appeared in people's sight.

What's ridiculous is that he actually lured a god-blessed warrior to change his camp, but it's not that it's impossible, but that price... he is smearing the temple's skin.

The Duke's shock and surprise were all seen by Leon, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

The secret of his God-Blessed Warriors is now not just known by the High Priest Farns. After the assassination, Farns sent someone to send him a secret letter.

In the letter, the high priest of Farns said that Leon could disclose his identity at the appropriate time, so as to make a clear stand to gain greater support from the temple, and to intimidate those forces with ulterior motives.

After all, with Leon's current identity and power, he is enough to bear the title of God-Blessed Warrior.

Although the tiger's fangs need to be hidden, they need to be revealed even more when necessary

In addition, the High Priest Farns asked in his letter that Leon must win the duel with Sayat, and the honor of the temple must not be defiled.

Under such circumstances, the Duke of Barkley came to the door to coerce and induce, which was simply a joke

When Duke Barkley understood the identity that Leon represented, he knew that he had come in the wrong way. Leon had no chance to betray the temple. With his identity as a god-blessed warrior, there would be no problem with Corinna.

"It seems that I was wrong this time..."

The Duke let out a long sigh and looked at Leon's eyes became stern: "But Viscount Leon, I still advise you to give up the duel. Even if you are a god-blessed warrior, don't underestimate our Great Rhine family's determination to defend their honor."

This is the threat of Chiluo Naked, and there is no doubt that they will use the power of the family to help Sayat win.

But what Leon is most afraid of is threats

"Then don't underestimate my determination to defend the glory of the God-Blessed Warrior..." Leon smiled coldly: "Please remember that this war was not initiated by me, but I will never back down any challenges."

“Very good”

Duke Barkley said two "very good" in a row, and stood up suddenly to show that his inner anger had reached a certain peak.

But he did not burst out, but looked at Leon deeply, turned around and left without looking back.

Now it's a complete breakup

Leon felt a little regretful, after all, the other party was Corina's relative, and if possible, he also hoped to gain the other party's recognition.

But since the other party gave him no choice, Leon had no choice but to express his regret.

Shortly after Duke Barkley left, Corinna hurried back to the villa.

She had apparently known the purpose of the Duke of Barkley.

"Uncle is really too much," the fox girl said angrily: "He deliberately left me at home and forced you here by himself."

"He also wants to lock me in the mansion, but I am now a level 5 magician, and the elemental spirit is in my hand..." She shook her ring: "Those guys can't trap me."

"I feel wronged..." Leon hugged her into his arms and whispered: "This must be awkward for you."

It is indeed a dilemma to have lovers on one side and relatives on the other.

"I will not succumb to any pressure. I have lost my mother since I was a child. Even without those relatives, I can survive by myself. I live very well." Corinna leaned against Leon's generous embrace and looked more and more determined: "Unless you choose to give up on me, but I know that is impossible."

"Reply" Leon lowered his head and kissed her red lips.

"It's better..." A layer of blush appeared on Corina's pretty face: "I'll give myself to you tonight."

"That's so wronged you." Leon smiled. He could understand Corinna's impulse at this moment: "When I win the decision, we will go back to Salge together."

Corinna nodded, feeling that she had never felt as at ease as she is now.
