Chapter 154: Mysterious Assassin
Because it was a public occasion, Regner didn't use all his strength for this punch. But even so, the muffled sound of his fist colliding with Halson's face still attracted the attention of many people.
Halson took a few steps back, stretched out his left hand and tapped the corner of his mouth gently, the place was now burning and painful, and there was a salty liquid gradually spreading in his mouth.
"Phew!" Halson spat out a mouthful of bloodshot spit, and then asked pretending to be very innocent, "I don't know Mr. Regner, why the hell are you hitting me?"
"You owe a beating. Regner had to explain it simply in order to take care of Irene's mood.
"Can I see this as a provocation from you?" Halson's gaze began to turn cold, he knew that he had succeeded in provoking Regner, so now should be the public slap in the face.
"I'm not so low-level as to provoke a piece of waste like you!" Regner still didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he coldly dropped the sentence and prepared to leave here with Erin.
Halson looked at Regner's back, then slowly removed his leather gloves. He glanced at everyone who had come to watch, and then said, "I think you all saw it." ”
With that, Halson threw the glove at the back of Irene's head. Among the nobles, throwing gloves meant inviting a duel. But instead of throwing the glove to Regner, Halson threw it at Erin, knowing that it would be more insulting to Regner, and that would make it less likely that Regner would refuse to fight.
"Hmm......" Erin couldn't help but scratch the back of her head when she was hit by a leather glove, although it didn't hurt to hit someone with a leather glove, but it was a little inexplicable for the half-elf to be smashed suddenly, so she turned her head in confusion.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I lost the wrong person. I beg your pardon. Halson said as he took off his other glove, this time throwing it at Erin's face.
Regner's eyes twinkled when he saw the second glove fly over, and his body slightly turned to one side, blocking Erin behind him, and then his hands danced twice at a speed that no one else could detect. As a result, the gloves that had been flying towards Erin's face turned into dozens of pieces of skin with no shape or regularity.
Regner poked his Fighting Qi out of his hand slightly, and then he delicately manipulated his Shadow Fighting Qi to collect all the broken skin that was almost scattered in the air into his own hand.
The shredded skin was all in Regner's hand, and he gave Halson a cold look, and then said, "Isn't it a duel? ”
"Oh, looks like there's going to be more aftershow tonight, isn't it?" Joffrey's voice rang out from the outside of the crowd, and the nobles avoided it and made way for the Empire's Grand Prince.
"Good evening, Your Highness Joffrey. Halson saw Joffrey and hurriedly bowed, his father was one of the strongest doglegs of Alfred, the Prime Minister of the Empire, and Alfred had a close relationship with Joffrey, so Joffrey was naturally on his side.
"Hello, Halson. Joffrey smiled at Halson, then turned his head to look at Regner, and asked knowingly, "What's going on?"
"Nothing. Halson had some skills for beating up a rake, and he pretended to be very innocent and said, "I just wanted to invite the young lady next to Lord Regna to dance, but Master Regna seems to be ...... Hey hey ......"
"It's just a dance, Regner, why are you so stingy?" Joffrey mediated like a good old man, but in fact the idiot could tell he was talking for Halson.
"Erin didn't want to dance with him. Regner said coldly, "I don't want Erin to jump with him either." ”
"I don't know if I can ask. Joffrey's eyes flashed, and he smiled and asked, "What is the relationship between this Miss Irene and you?"
"......" Regner was silenced by the sudden question, and he understood how insidious Joffrey's question was. If he didn't acknowledge Erin's relationship with himself at this time, then it would undoubtedly hurt the pure and fragile heart of the half-elf at that moment. But if he admits it at this time......
The entire Hawke empire knew that the relationship between Annelot and Regner had always been ambiguous, and he now showed his relationship with another woman in public. I'm afraid it's going to get more complicated.
Regner thought about it and finally made a decision. He looked up and said loudly in front of everyone, "Her name is Erin, and she is my fiancée. ”
Wow!
The nobles were in an uproar when they heard Regner say this, and they gathered together in twos and threes to talk about something. But no matter what he said, Regner was sure that the guys didn't say good things about themselves.
"It's just a fiancée. Joffrey had obviously anticipated Regner's answer, and he continued, "If you have to take care of even your fiancée dancing with others, don't you think you're too lenient with Regner? The two of you will have a simple competition according to the previous regulations. As for those who win, they can ......"
"I accept Halson's challenge, but I'm not going to use Erin as a bargaining chip. Regner interrupted Joffrey: "If you lose, just let him just slap me twice." Isn't that what you want?"
Joffrey and Halson looked at each other, and finally it was Joffrey who decided: "Yes, but I have one condition. ”
"Tell me about it. ”
"In order to prevent too much damage, neither of them is allowed to use vindictive energy. "Joffrey's insidious advice.
As someone who has had a lot of friction and collisions with Regner, Joffrey naturally knows how strong Regner is. Although that Halson is also a high-level warrior, if he faces Regner, who is serious, he is afraid that he will only be hanged and beaten.
But if the fighting spirit is closed, everything will be different, because Halson is a fighter known for his strength, so his physical fitness is undoubtedly much better than Regner. Moreover, once an Assassin loses his fighting spirit, the sharpness of his attack will undoubtedly be greatly reduced. As a result, Halsen still has a good chance of beating Regner.
"Yes. Regner still agreed very simply, he was really angry by this guy who jumped out inexplicably today, and Ragner was also angry at this time, so he also said regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one: "But I also want to add one, if I win, I will slap the two of you!"
This time, it was Joffrey's turn to hesitate. Although he has tried his best to create an advantageous environment for Halson, he himself cannot ensure that Halson will not be able to win. If he really loses, then it will be the two of them who will be ugly......
"Why, don't you dare?" Regner sneered.
"Since the other party doesn't dare to do this, my lord, why don't you let your subordinates do it for you?" a calm male voice rang out behind Regner.
Regner looked back in some surprise, and when he saw the man who spoke, he couldn't help but freeze as if he had been struck by lightning.
As the head of MIA, Regner naturally kept in mind the faces and names of all MIA agents operating in Melindel. However, he had never seen the person in front of him who called him "Adult".
It was an uncle who looked to be about forty years old. He has short black hair similar to Ragner's, and although he now has a rather wild beard, it can be seen from his facial features alone that this man must have been a handsome young man who looked a little weak.
Either way, Regner was sure he hadn't seen this face. This guy is definitely not from the MIA.
"Who is he?" Regner asked.
The man seemed to sense Regner's doubts, and he blinked his eyes, revealing a look that was all too familiar to Regner.
So, Regner was stunned by this look.
"How, sir?" the man asked, looking down respectfully.
Ragner was in a state of hesitation and struggle, he looked at the man, and then he saw that the man was also looking at him with a pair of dark eyes. The same look in his eyes as he always did, which made Regner twitch somewhere in his heart from the deepest part of his soul.
So, Regner nodded, "Okay." ”
He turned to Joffrey and Halson and said, "Don't you be afraid of me, aren't you afraid of even one of my MI assassins?"
"Well, please wash your face in a moment. Halson looked at the man, then nodded. Although this time things have taken a turn for the worse because of the sudden intervention of Joffrey and the man, as long as he can slap Regner twice, then Halson doesn't mind things going somewhere else.
As for that Erin......
Halson glanced greedily at Erin, who was hiding behind Regner a little timidly, and then wondered how to clean up this little slut who liked to pretend to be pure and pitiful tonight.
"Well, come with me, let's find a place that is relatively open. Joffrey didn't object, he waved his hand and motioned for the others to get out of the way.
"How did you get here?" Regner asked the man as he followed Joffrey to find a suitable place for the duel.
"I said I miss you, do you believe it?"
"Hell, there's a lot of northerners here, aren't you afraid I'll arrest you at this time?" Regna asked, a little broken.
"You're not going to catch me, I trust you. The man smiled.
"What the hell are you going to do?" Regner asked in a low whisper, "Number One?"
