Chapter 107 Family Meeting

  In an instant, the entire hall was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

  Fina and Middy's relationship is well-known.

  The bond between two people is well-known to all.

  In such a situation, or rather because of it, Gurevich let loose. Undoubtedly, this was a provocation, and the most violent kind, dressed in the guise of differences within and outside the Hamilton family, but sounding very pompous.

  In stark contrast to the tense atmosphere that had been building, the hall was now silent, as if even the sound of a pin dropping on the floor could be heard clearly. Everyone's eyes, whether they were officials, deputies, guards or even servants serving tea and water, were all fixed on Fiona Hamilton at this moment.

  The former little princess, now the queen of magic bullets, how will she respond to this provocation?

  But Fiona didn't say anything.

  On the contrary, Meddy moved.

  The black-haired youth revealed a cold smile like that of the god of death and handed over a sword with an air of lightness.

  "With a 'whoosh', a sharp and unparalleled surge of energy surged along the sword body, accumulating and finally converging into a single point at the sword tip, bursting out! This extreme intent sliced through the surrounding air, rendering the area it passed through a vacuum, even tiny dust particles were destroyed by this terrifying power, shattered into powder that was invisible to the naked eye, then incinerated due to high heat, vanishing into nothingness!"

  The power of this sword was so strong that the scenery in the air was distorted. Coupled with the killing intent that was like a torrential rain, even the usually calm and collected leaders couldn't help but change their expressions.

  But Gu Lening's face turned even paler after being attacked.

  He couldn't believe it, the opponent's seemingly casual blow was actually going to kill him in an instant?

  At this moment, at the critical juncture of life and death, he could no longer care about any noble elegance or dignitaries' propriety, instantly rolling backwards, using a chair weighing dozens of kilograms as a shield to fling out.

  But to no avail, Mide's extreme intent instantly penetrated the red wooden chair and reached the chest of the prey without any hindrance. Then, it heavily collided with Gulei Ning's heavy sword that had just been drawn out and blocked in front of his chest.

  What kind of attack is this?

  Gule Ning's heart surged with shock and horror, his whole body tense.

  At this moment, he felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, unable to move or even breathe. However, despite the 50-level strongman using all his strength to block, Middie's extreme intent still spun rapidly, continuously pushing forward without any signs of stopping!

  In just a blink of an eye, the surface of his heavy sword, which had been used for decades, was suddenly covered with cracks, and it seemed to be on the verge of shattering.

  Kulenin couldn't believe it, but he was very clear that when this heavy sword that had accompanied him for many years broke, it would be the moment of his own death.

  At this critical moment, another extremely fine long sword stabbed from the side and accurately pierced into that extreme thought.

  The swiftly spinning extreme intent was like a meat grinder, cutting the slender long sword inch by inch, metal debris constantly popping out, splashing everywhere, and even carving deep scars in this ancient great hall.

  However, this slender long sword ultimately shifted the direction of the extreme will by a little before being thoroughly crushed.

  Gule Ning seized this opportunity, let out a loud roar, and suddenly exerted all his strength. With a push of both hands, he finally dispelled that extreme intent.

  The unstoppable extreme intent lifted a large piece of flesh and blood from Gu Lie's shoulder, then drilled into the wall, breaking through several meters of stone walls, penetrating layers of seals and defensive arrays, directly blasting through the castle, rushing towards the sky. In the end, only a cold wind whistled, revealing a visible crack outside, leaving everyone staring at each other in shock.

  Up to this point, everyone can be certain that the power of this move is absolutely capable of instantly killing a 50-level capped professional!

  A mere 36th-level Ghost Swordsman, how could he possibly unleash such a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering sword?

  All eyes instantly shifted from Fiona's body to Middy's.

  As for the war between the Asrecks and Sess families, they naturally have some concerns. However, Fina's "one person, one day, one city" achievement is too strong, so all the focus is on the Magic Bullet Queen.

  As for Middy, to outsiders, he was just considered a general with some talent in command and also very good at borrowing the prestige of others. After all, the battle of "Nightmare Hand" Weissman Newton had been intentionally concealed by Middy and had not been spread around.

  So it's no wonder that these seven people in charge of Hamilton made a serious deviation in their assessment of Middy's combat effectiveness.

  Moreover, Mi Di's sword seemed casual and effortless, but in fact had been prepared for a long time.

  As a noble, having experienced countless hardships in his previous life, Mi Di could naturally anticipate what kind of situation would arise in such a conference where the opponents were overwhelmingly powerful.

  Provocation is inevitable, and once weakness is shown, things like forcing the palace or questioning Fina's qualifications as a proxy head of household may come out, or even starting a new faction. This would be equivalent to internal division, which would have no benefits for the upcoming civil war, and might even directly replay the scene of being invaded by the Dros Empire in the previous life without any resistance.

  So, since we want to overwhelm our opponents and in the shortest time possible, we must take the most drastic measures.

  Talk with strength.

  For this, during the preparation of the family meeting, while Fiona was busy setting up, Middy did only one thing -

  Nourish your mind.

  Cultivating the ultimate sword intent.

  The majestic demonic pulse beneath the Rose Mountain Castle, the divine atmosphere in the Lake Light Hall, plus three days of dry meditation and sitting, Midei finally cultivated this sharp and unmatched extreme intent. This extreme intent was so powerful that it would secretly tremble within Midei's body, as if it were about to burst out, already reaching the limit that a perfectly transformed 36-level Ghost Sword Master's physique could withstand.

  And its existence is for today, it's for this moment.

  The branch of swordsmanship that Kulenin belongs to, just by its name, it's clear that it's an extremely violent branch. In fact, it can be said that it is the second most powerful military force after the main trunk Jinzhi, although it does not have the qualifications to control the army, but in terms of the number of high-end strongmen, the swordsmanship branch even slightly surpasses the main trunk. These people are usually arrogant and domineering, without the suppression of the Iron-Blooded Duke, they would probably become even more unbridled.

  Moreover, through the interrogation of those nobles along the way, Middy also learned that the one who instigated the nobles to cause trouble behind their backs was actually the Fencing Branch. In other words, the Fencing Branch had already known about the critical illness of the Iron-Blooded Duke and might have been involved in the betrayal of intercepting the Mandragora people's face flower halfway.

  Two factors superimposed, and fencing branch had long been hung up in Mi Di's heart.

  The meeting has just begun, and Guren Ning starts provoking, while Midei is eager to respond.

  This mustache is so stubbornly automatic that it brings his face over, this three-day-old anger, not fiercely hitting him in the face, is simply intolerable.

  At this moment, a sword flashed out. Looking at Gu Lie's pale face, the bloody shoulder, and the remaining six major branches were silently shocked. The surrounding guards and servants were stunned, and Mi Di knew that his purpose of showing off his strength had been achieved.

  It's just a pity that this inevitable sword didn't take away a single life.

  After all, it's Hamilton. Even if he had been training for three days with the utmost intensity, it wouldn't be easy to knock out a person in charge on the spot.

  Mi Di secretly sighed in his heart and cast his gaze towards the pale-faced, slender young man behind Gu Lie Ning.

  Is this person the rumored "Number One Swordsman"?

  Just as Middy and Martin were sizing each other up, that thunderous voice boomed out again.

  "Great! Medley Althaeus, you have a lot of nerve, daring to lay hands on the head of a Hamilton family branch in Rose Hill City! This is equivalent to an enemy invasion. Come, take him away and lock him up immediately!" Gurening, who had come back to his senses, looked at his own shoulder with torn skin and felt the intense pain, saying angrily.

  For a moment, he couldn't grasp his opponent's true strength, but that didn't stop him from overwhelming them with momentum.

  One-on-one combat doesn't work, then drag in the Hamilton family's big flag.

  This is Rose Hill Castle, a stronghold guarded by countless masters and troops. Even if you are strong, do you dare to make an enemy of the entire Hamilton family?

  "Midi is my guardian knight, and naturally has the qualifications to teach you. Guren Ning? Hamilton, you spoke out of turn at my family meeting, with no regard for your own life, even if I were to have you executed, what then?" A clear and melodious voice rang out, interrupting Guren's shouting.

  Fina finally spoke up. As soon as she did, it was with irrefutable logic.

  The so-called guardian knight is one who shares weal and woe with the protected object. Insulting a guardian knight is equivalent to insulting the protected object.

  Perhaps Medley Athelstan may not have a position in the Hamilton family, but now he has become Fiona's guardian knight. If he is insulted, it is equivalent to Fiona being insulted. When Fiona was insulted, Medley, as her guardian knight, naturally launched an all-out attack.

  It sounds like a tongue twister, but this is an unquestionable truth and an important part of the rules of the game for the nobility, which is universally applicable throughout the entire Kingdom of Bellmare, and cannot be refuted or overturned.

  Gule Ning was suddenly choked back in one breath, and the guards who had already made some movements also hastily returned to their original positions, standing upright as if they hadn't moved at all.

  The people in charge of the other six major branches fell into deep thought at once.

  It's actually Guardian Knight!

  They did not expect this.

  It is worth noting that although the identity of a Guardian Knight would allow Midori to reasonably stand behind Fiona and attend this family meeting, there are also many drawbacks.

  After all, a knight is a knight, not a noble. With this title, it means that in many cases, Mide will be restricted by Feena. Although tearing his face is not impossible, this restriction has a great impact on reputation and can easily become an excuse, which is equivalent to actively sending the handle into Feena's hands.

  They originally thought that although Fina was very active in the aristocratic war of the Asuleks family, it was under the instruction of the Iron-Blooded Duke, a win-win deal. The two sides were close allies, but at least they would be on guard.

  However, it now appears that Mide has dared to become Fina's guardian knight without hesitation, which suggests that the relationship between the two parties is probably much closer than they thought!

  Could it be... a romantic relationship?

  As they watched the red-haired girl and black-haired boy who were incredibly in sync with each other, everyone began to reevaluate their thoughts.

  And at this moment, Fiona's voice rang out again: "The farce ends here. Now, I declare that the family meeting begins. As for Mr. Gurenin, consider the wound on your shoulder a lesson and reflect on it yourself. For now, I permit you to leave your seat to treat your wound."
