The Princess And The Lord - Chapter 1242 Unlucky Man

1242  Unlucky Man

The hairs on the back of his neck stood up in an instant Liam had a bad premonition washed over him but his hand was already locked by Zhao Li Xin’s grip. Liam struggle to released himself but no avail just like he said before ‘It’ was too late’

“I want to test something…you don’t mind, right?” Zhao Li Xin’s voice was like an electric current that sent rough shocks through his body.

“What… what are you going to do?”

Zhao Li Xin’s smile grew wider “We’ll see,” he twisted Liam’s arm after that he released his qi within him soon after the air in the room became heavy and the temperature rose.

Zhao Li Xin exhaled a long breath from his moutha nd the Qi within him was awakened then spread throughout his body after that Zhao Li Xin took a deep breath and all of a sudden the flames that was covering Liam’s arm was sucked away then tranfer through Zhao Li Xin’s hands.

Liam was in complete state of panic as he could feel the mana inside him was taken bit by bit in rapid speed. Everyone know what it’s mean for the Gifted people when they exhausted their mana just like what happened to Lory many time before but she was like her mother plant Druid insignia on her that help her escaped dead multiple times but for common people when their mana dried out it would be a dead sentence for them and not an easy dead either. “LIAM!” Angela and the others shouted at the same time.

The other hunters had jumped up from their chairs and distanced themselves from Zhao Li Xin and Liam, some of them had already taken out their weapons on reflex and some of the others had put up barriers around them and their team as protection.

“Let him go!” Nora unsheated her double swords and charged towards Zhao Li Xin while the other girls also followed suit but all of a sudden an ice wall errected from the floor and blocked their movements.

When the hot and cold air collided it created hot mist that filled the room just like sauna soon their clothes soaked although it was unclear whether it was due to water droplets or sweat perhaps both.

“What the hell is going on?” the hunters become anxious.

“Open the window, let out this hot air!” another shouted urgently.

“I can’t see the window!” answered the hunter in a desperate voice.

Panic struck everyone in the guild, although some people managed to escape because they were near the windows and exits, but many were trapped inside because the thick mist around them.

in the midst of commotion Lory voice came out calm and serene “Relax, no one will get hurt, just stay where you are” Lory stand calmly with open arms after that some of the mist gather together then created giant ice dome around Zhao Li Xin that not only protect him but also contain the fire so it will not get away everywhere and hurt other people.

[Li Xin, are you going to kill him?] Lory speak in low tone but she know Zhao Li Xin would hear her.

Lory didn’t think Zhao Li Xin wouldn’t kill Liam because cause she doesn’t feel murederous intent from Zhao Li Xin furthermore she also think Liam’s mistakes were not bad enough that Zhao Li Xin woul’ve kill him.

As expected, despite all the commotion around him, Zhao Li Xin could hear Lory’s voice clearly without problem. Zhao Li Xin was indeed have no intention to kill Liam, besides there was no point in killing this annoying man, instead it would only jeorpidize their plan and he wouldn’t be so foolish.

Zhao Li Xin finally released his grip from Liam’s wrist a moment later the fire around them gradually dissipated. After the fire dissaperaed, Lory immediately dropped her arms after that the ice disappeared and then turned back into thick fog.

Zhao Li Xin clasped his hands behind his back and then turned around, [Like I said, this is just a test…] his eyes flashed with excitement and excitement.

Lory created a thick fog not for nothing she knew what happened to liam even though Zhao Li Xin didn’t completely drain him but losing so muchMana would put this poor bastar* in a coma which wouldn’t be good for them cause more or less the Guild would ask them to take responsibility for what happened to this man.

Lory walked towards Zhao Li Xin, she dart her gaze to the handsome walliom, Liam who is know lying pitifully on the floor with his eyes closed.

‘What an unlucky guy’ Lory sighed while staring at Liam’s pale face. If he met any other hunters, at most he would get some bruise, yet of all the people he could provoke why he had to choose Zhao Li Xin?

Lory clenched her fist in front of her chest while closing her eyes, a moment later sheopen her palm then a faint purple light orb flew from her hand like firefly and then landed on Liam’s chest a second later the light seeped into Liam’s body and the color return to Liam’s pale face follow by stable breathing, and now he looked like someone who was sleeping soundly.

“Would it be a problem for you” that the only thing Zhao Li Xin worry about.

Lory smile then gently carresed Zhao Li Xin’s cheek “Nothing I can’t handle” Suddenly a harsh wind swept away the thick fog inside the room and pushed it out from the window and doors it onlt takes few seconds before the whole place become clear. However the source of the wind is not from Lory.

Lory and Zhao turned towards the direction the force came from and then they were greeted by Lawrence’s intimidating presence. Despite his old age he had not lost his vigor nor his domineering aura as a warrior.

Lawrence’s eyes alternately dart between Zhao Li Xin and Lory, Lawrence look at them with cautios evaluation and a bit curiosity but no one knows if that looks means good or bad thus the room became dead silent as everyone become tense no one dared to make a sound only Zhao Li Xin and Lory remained unfazed, Lory even smiled faintly at Lawrence.

“Miss Jane, you are causing trouble in my Guild” his voice thick with authority.

“I’m sorry Sir, I will take responsibility for what happened.” Lory sincerily said in polite manner.

Suddenly Zhao Li Xin chimmed in “It’s my fault, if you…need compensation, it’s best to ask me” Zhao Li Xin spoke with broken Harlandish.

However, because of that people were now convinced that Zhao Li Xin really wasn’t good at speaking Harlandish so his short answer with the girls previously was understandable.

Lawrence’s expression hardened, “What if I want to break your arm as compensation?”

Darkness gathered in Zhao Li Xin’s eyes like a bottomless abyss, the temperature in the room increasing once more and everyone suddenly felt difficult to breathe.

“It depends on your abilities…sir” Zhao Li Xin answer calmly.

What surprised Lawrence was that Zhao Li Xin didn’t look nervous or angry, instead his eyes flashed with anticipation as if he hoped Lawrence would try to break his arm.

Meanwhile, Lory’s expression turned ice cold when she heard someone threaten Zhao to her face, “You’re kidding, Mr. Covington, that’s a heavy punishment for something for a small problem like this right,” Lory chuckled but Lawrence could see her eyes was sends a subtle warning to him.

“It’s a small problem?” Lawrence squint his eyes.

“No one dies” Lory shrugged nonchalantly.

Nathalie watched their interaction with a stiff face, her heart pounding like a drum and it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat. Nathalie’s hand had been pressed against the dagger hidden under her skirt waiting for the worst to come.

There was a look of alarm plastered on everyone’s faces as the pressure in the room became increasingly unbearable then suddenly Lawrence chuckled, then opened his hands, “Alright, you just have to pay for the damage to this place and we will deduct one hundreds point from your experience points.”

Experience points are points collected by hunters to increase their hunter level, so losing points means that Lory and Zhao Li Xin will got more time to increase their hunter level, but Lory and Zhao Li Xin don’t care about that.

“No problem” Lory answer readily with a big smiles.

“Okay, let’s Nathalie calculate all the damage and then give the numbers later, are you okay with that, Mr. Zhao, Miss Jane?” Lawrence said.

Lory tilted her head and smiled broadly “Of course, you can slowly calculate it and tell me later, Nathalie~”

“Ye…yeah, sure” Nathalie forced a smile “I’ll call you later after I’m done” After that the tension in the room reduced significantly and finally everyone could breathe a sigh of relief as if a large rock had been lifted from their chest. At first they were worried that a fight would break out between this terrible couple and the Guild Master Lawrence.

If that happened, everyone in this room would become collateral victims.

They were no longer excited about watching Zhao Li Xin’s fight after seeing what he could do and for addition they were also grew wary for Lory who had the ability to suppress Liam’s wildfire.

“Are we done here?” the insensitive Zhao Li Xin throw abrupt question casually like nothing happened.

Lory throws a questioning look at Lawrence. The old man cleared his throat and then nodded “We’re done” he said meaningfully.

Lory gave an appreciative look and then left the room but someone still did not understand the situation.

“Wa…wait a minute!” Angela suddenly shouted. At that moment everyone simultaneously cast a reprimanding look at Angela, they were all afraid to provoke Zhao Li Xin’s anger again, but alas, Angela was too oblivious.
