Thomson's face was flushed, and at this moment, he dug a hole in the ground and filled in everyone in the Hydra Palace except himself.

According to Medland's rules for aristocratic duels, he proposed a duel, and if the other party was a real nobleman, if the other party did not want to have no face in the aristocratic circle again, he had to accept the duel application.

Also according to the rules of aristocratic duels, Thomson proposed a duel, and the other party had the right to set the conditions for the duel.

Time, place, weapon, number of people, etc......

Thomson was well prepared for this duel.

He himself was a sixth-order transcendent, although he, like Florence, was a 'safe advanced' sixth-order transcendent, and his actual combat power was only about fourth-order, but he had already inquired that Joe was only a second-order!

Although Thomson had never fought in a serious battle, it was extremely safe to crush the second order with the strength of the fourth order.

He also inquired that Joe's elder brother Gorkin was an elite officer of the Delen Imperial Army, with a fifth-order combat power, and he also belonged to the absolute elite level in the fifth-order.

He also took into account that Gorkin had a good chance of replacing Joe.

So, he brought the captain of the guard of the Ice Sea Kingdom in the Delun Empire to act as a duelist.

This captain of the guard is also a fifth-order pinnacle existence, and he also has a powerful alien-blood talent, and his comprehensive combat power is comparable to that of an ordinary sixth-order transcendent.

Of course, he also inquired that Hesse, the head of the Vettu family, also seemed to be a good hand.

Therefore, he also borrowed the head of the opponent's bodyguard from a merchant of the Ice Sea Kingdom who was doing business in Hydrderabad, and a giant axe man whose strength was extremely close to the sixth order and was even more inherently powerful served as the second duelist.

As a veteran nobleman of the Ice Sea Kingdom, Thomson even brought a family heirloom transcendent secret weapon, which is a powerful treasure that can fall in an instant even a sixth-order transcendent under a surprise attack.

Thomson is confident that he will be able to kill Hesse and avenge his secretary Edward!

However, he didn't expect that Hesse could be so shameless - the duel conditions he proposed were actually a billion gold mark bet!

Billion gold marks!

That's almost one-third of the total assets of the entire Thomson family!

As an old marquis family, with the help of the powerful naval power of the Ice Sea Kingdom, Thomson's family has occupied a large number of colonies overseas and has extremely rich outputs, but the total assets of the family, including all castles, manors, tea plantations, woodlands, farms, mines and other real estate, are about three billion gold marks.

Hesse, who killed a thousand knives, actually put forward a bet of a billion gold marks.

Moreover, he also took out such a large traveler's check in public to prove that he did not mean to make Thomson difficult.

This damn ...... Knave!

Thomson's body trembled slightly, and his mind went blank as he stared at Hesse.

"It's a shame, it's you who proposed a duel, then, you must meet all the reasonable and regular duel conditions we proposed." Gorkin pressed his hand to the hilt of his sword and said coldly, "But, Lord Thomson, what are you doing here?" ”

"In front of so many distinguished ladies and gentlemen...... You're a little embarrassed. Joe sighed slowly, and looked at Thomson who was directly killed on the spot by Hesse's duel condition with pity: "It's just a billion gold marks, for the Rittal family, it's not a lot of money, I don't mean to make things difficult for you...... You really can't get this money? ”

Shrugging his shoulders, Joe sighed heavily: "Or, in front of so many nobles, you borrowed a sum of money from the Rittal family?" Use your family's assets as collateral ......"

Old lady Mary smiled so old that all the folds were dancing.

She was so happy to see the performance of Hesse and his son, and to see Thomson's iron-blue face.

Several nobles of the Ice Sea Kingdom, dressed in scarlet court dresses and bowler bearskin hats, parted the crowd and crowded in with a short, middle-aged man with shrewd eyebrows in the corners of his eyes.

In the crowd, someone whispered: "Royal Bank of the Ice Sea Kingdom, President of the Delun Imperial Branch......"

The middle-aged man coughed lightly, he walked up to Thomson, who was blue and his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and silently took out a check with a dark blue theme, also with a thumb-wide gold rim, and an area several circles larger than an ordinary traveler's check.

"Marquis Thomson, this is a small sum of money that you have deposited at the branch." The middle-aged man handed the check to Thomson, then turned around and looked at Hesse deeply: "You, do you want to apostulate?" ”

Hesse grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth.

With a 'click', Hesse took a bite of the cigar in his mouth. Most of the cigars fell to the ground, and the cigar butts in his mouth were chewed heartily by Hesse.

The nobles present showed expressions that could not bear to look at them at the same time.

Chewing tobacco, this is the vice of those inferior sailors who mingle at sea...... Hesse, a nobleman with a small status, actually did such an unseemly thing.

However, this did not prevent the aristocratic ladies in the crowd, who were beautifully dressed and showy, from continuing to sweep Gorkin and Joe with hot eyes.

Oh, and of course, there were also a number of handsome, oily-haired young aristocrats, and their eyes also quickly turned on Tifa and Weima's bodies.

Hesse chewed on his tobacco, and his two rows of white teeth were quickly dyed pale yellow—as pale yellow as the fangs of the tigers in the mountains and forests who hunted but never brushed their teeth.

"Raise? Of course! Hesse smiled "clicked": "Weitujia is never afraid of challenges. ”

He unbuttoned his clothes, pulled out his check holder, and pulled out the huge check.

"The Rittal family, never afraid of challenges? Ice Sea Kingdom too. The middle-aged man sneered, and he took out a huge check from his chest pocket again and handed it to Thomson.

Thomson's iron-blue skin turned red, and the cold sweat on his forehead turned into hot sweat.

He subconsciously glanced back, and saw that in the direction where a few nobles of the Ice Sea Kingdom had just walked over, nearly two hundred feet away, George, the imperial grandson of the Ice Sea Kingdom, and Dolly, the ambassador to the Delun Empire, were staring at him with gloomy faces and fierce eyes.

Thomson's body shook slightly.

The dough that had just turned red turned white again in an instant.

He grasped the hilt of the saber at his waist with his backhand, and held up two huge checks with the other hand—everyone present could clearly see that the ink on the checks was fresh, and these two checks were clearly written.

The nobles present knew that Thomson was so frightened by Hesse that he couldn't round the game, which was not only a loss of his own dignity, but also on such an occasion, even the nobles with all the Ice Sea Kingdom were not dignified, and it was even more shameful for the Ice Sea Kingdom.

Therefore, there is a big man in the Ice Sea Kingdom who has made a move.

Two Billion Gold Marks on the Bet...... If Thomson wins this duel, then his merit is huge, he will win huge profits, and supreme glory, he is bound to become a star in the entire aristocratic circle of the Ice Sea Kingdom, and even the old grandmother of the Ice Sea Kingdom will award him the highest medal of honor.

But if he loses......

He could not have had any other outcome than death.

And the family behind him...... Two billion gold marks, there is no doubt that the family behind him will pay it back.

Moreover, because Thomson proposed a duel on such an occasion and lost the duel, such humiliation would put his entire family in great difficulty.

"It was destined to be a wonderful duel that would be celebrated by the world for many years." A somewhat hoarse, granite grinding voice came from outside the crowd.

"So, you don't mind if I'm the arbiter, right? Well, cousin George, or maybe you'll join me as the referee for this duel? ”

Surrounded by a group of court knights, Salian, dressed in a full army uniform, walked in slowly with a thin cigarette in his mouth.

Standing in the distance, the Imperial Sun of the Ice Sea Kingdom, George, giggled, handed the wine glass in his hand to an accompanying guard beside him, and strode over to this side: "Salian, since you have such Yaxing, then, of course...... It's sure to be a wonderful, fair duel. ”

Salian walked into the crowd and swept his gaze around.

As his gaze swept over old lady Mary, he almost took a deep breath and inhaled the cigarette in his mouth into his lungs.

His gaze quickly took away from Old Lady Mary, and he turned his head and beckoned to George: "Then, gentlemen, please get out of the way enough for the duelists on both sides of us to enter." ”

"I'm sorry, but what are your dueling conditions, besides the Golden Mark?" George approached with a group of retinues, and he laughed loudly, "Is it just Kim Mack?" It's so boring. ”

Thomson gripped the hilt of his sword and bowed deeply to George: "One side must fall completely." ”

Joe sneered.

Hesse sneered.

Gorkin sneered.

The gentlemen of the Rittal family have never been afraid of these challenges.

Joe, who was once young, was able to follow Gorkin and beat the gentlemen of Tulum Harbor with bricks covered in blood.

"Tifa, Vima, and Lady Mary, stand a little behind." Hesse turned his head and grinned at the three women behind him: "We never cause trouble, but we are never afraid of it...... Hohoo. Stand back and don't splash your blood. ”

Salian came over with a few knights.

He was silent, and his deep eyes were staring straight at Joe, Hesse, and Gorkin.

Joe nodded vigorously.

Gorkin smiled and gave Sallian a military salute.

Hesse contemptuously slashed at Thomson and the others, and slashed diagonally: "Ah, Your Highness, believe us...... These weak and incompetent nobles, we can easily pinch them to death. ”

Salian took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

"If you lose, they won't leave the empire alive." Salian lowered his voice and made the most reluctant assurance of his life.

Anyway, if the Joe family loses...... Thomson certainly couldn't leave alive.

Even...... George, this kid!

Salian gritted his teeth fiercely, at this moment, he really wanted to blow Thomson's head out himself!

At the New Year's celebration at the Hydra Palace, in front of so many nobles and so many guests from all over the world, an application for a duel that could not be refused...... This goddamn idiot!
