Chapter 26: Coward

"It's great that you're okay, Uncle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Joanna was overjoyed, and then said with guilt: "Dear Aber, please forgive me, I was so careless. After a pause, Joanna looked at Albert in disbelief as if she had discovered a new world, and asked, "Your wounded ......" Halfway through speaking, she suddenly realized something and chose to shut up.

Joanna knew that Albert had a secret on him, and she was afraid that she would miss something. However, Joanna's stunned look betrayed her.

The others looked at Joanna and then at Albert, noticing the latter's anomaly.

Although they didn't see the tragic situation of Albert after the fight with the wind python, Albert's clothes were tattered, but his body was intact, which was really weird.

"Friends don't need to apologize, and you're not wrong. Albert shook his head, digressed the subject, and winked at Joanna. Then he smiled and said, "Thank you for thinking about me, dear Joe." ā€

"Joe?" Joanna was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "It's not bad, I like the name." ā€

Looking at the two of them like old friends, Padwin's heart burned with rage. When he first saw Joanna, he was already deeply in love with her.

The reason why Padwin shot Albert when he killed the Mist Anaconda was because Albert knew Joanna. Joanna is his prey, how can he have dealings with other men. Padwin couldn't figure out why he, who was handsome on the outside, lost to an ordinary-looking teenager.

"Despicable civilian, were you just scolding me?" Padwin interrupted Albert and Joanna's conversation. "Despicable commoners, insulting nobles are punishable by jail!" he shouted.

"Padwin, he's my friend. Joanna blocked Albert's way. "Please show all the respect you deserve. There was something unkind about her tone.

"Well, for Joanna's sake. Padwin nodded. "Despicable civilian, I forgive you for your rudeness. He looked at Albert with disdain: "The man hiding behind the woman, it's really pathetic. ā€

"Thank you. Albert patted Joanna on the shoulder. "Jail?" he looked around. "There is no distinction between nobles and commoners in the Misty Forest. He stared at Padwin, murderous intent in his eyes, like a tiger staring at a delicious deer.

"What do you mean by that?" Looking at Albert's fierce gaze, Padwin subconsciously took a step back, a little timid.

He had seen Albert's strength, stronger than a warrior, like a demonic beast, and knew that this guy had killed the Misty Wind Python alone. Although it is not clear what method the other party used, it is certain that he is definitely not Albert's opponent.

"Mr. Aristocrat, you know what I mean. Albert smiled. "The Misty Forest has only hunters and prey. He said word by word.

"You... How dare you threaten me, threaten the noble nobles!" Padwin roared, trying to hide his fear with his voice, but his trembling legs betrayed him.

"Of course not, I'm just kidding. Albert shrugged his shoulders, his expression softened, and said jokingly: "Sir, you are so cowardly, a little joke can make your legs weak." ā€

"Who's weak?" Padwin asked, glancing at Joanna with disdain, her face blue and white. "Despicable civilian, you must apologize to me!"

"Come on, pathetic clown, the show is over. Albert spread his hands. "If you want to prove yourself, have a duel with me. ā€

"I... I ......" Padwin swallowed. "I don't fight duels with lowly civilians. His voice trembled.

"Shut up, then!" Albert snapped, sending Padwin to the ground. "Joe, do you have a map of the Auston Border?" he smiled, looking at Joanna, ignoring the coward Padwin. After all, the other party is an aristocrat, and Albert can't teach such a blatant lesson, otherwise there will be ** annoyance. Of course, if he had the opportunity in the future, he would give Padwin a lesson he would never forget, and the tuition might be life.

"Apologize to me!" Padwin yelled in exasperation as he got up from the ground.

It's a pity, who cares about a cowardly coward? Even Padwin's companions chose to turn a deaf ear.

"Do you need a map?" asked Joanna, giving Albert a thumbs up.

"Indeed, I am lost. Albert sneered.

"I've got a map here, and I hope it will come in handy. The shield-wielding boy, who had been watching the play in silence, spoke, and took out a piece of parchment from his bag. "Thank you for your help today, man, I'm Yadonis. He stepped forward and handed Albert the parchment.

At this point, Padwin finally stopped shouting.

"I also want to thank you for the map, it helped me a lot. Albert took the map and smiled in return: "I'm Albert, it's a pleasure to meet you." ā€

"Hello, Eber, I'm Erin. The girl standing next to Yadunis smiled.

"Fortunately, Erin......" Albert nodded, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Padwin on the side.

"Of course you have to be happy, and it is probably the greatest honor of your life to be able to speak to Yadonis. Padwin sneered, stood behind Adonis, and said in a sycophancy, "Your Excellency Yadonis, you don't need to speak to a lowly commoner. If there's something, I can do it for me. ā€

"Padwin, please don't interrupt my conversation with Abb. Yadonis chuckled.

Albert looked at Padwin, and from his speech and demeanor, it was not difficult to see that Adouis was a man of extremely high status and a true nobleman.

"I see, I beg your pardon. Padwin hung his head, he had been slapping Yadonis every day for the past few days, but with little success. If he returned to the Auston Martial Arts Academy, he would never have the opportunity to come into contact with such a big man again. He was thinking about what to do, and suddenly he saw Albert and Adouis, who were having a good conversation, and he had an idea.

"Hello, Abbey, I am Padwin Sakura, son of Count Sakura. Padwin resisted the disgust in his heart and said against his will.

Padwin could tell that Adouis admired Albert and wondered where the bastard had come from.

Albert was stunned and couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect that Padwin was not an ordinary nobleman, but a high nobleman, the son of an earl. Despite his surprise, he ignored Padwin, who didn't even bother to say perfunctory words about such a despicable villain. Albert looked at Joanna, who shrugged, apparently not knowing what Padwin was trying to do. He looked at Yadunis again, what kind of person could be to make the son of an earl so humble and flattering?

"Aber, you can't be so stingy. Padwin said as he raised his hand, trying to grab Albert's shoulder, but the latter dodged him.

"You're right, I'm just that stingy. Albert said without thinking.

"Haha, Aber, you're so funny. Yadunis laughed. "It's the first time I've met someone as interesting as you, Aber, and I'm so lucky to have met you in the Misty Forest. ā€

"Me too. Albert smiled. "You are a nobleman worthy of respect, and a friend worthy of befriending. Although this may sound more like a compliment, it is true.

"You're right, I'm such a gentleman. Adouis learned Albert's words, and laughed to himself. After a while, he continued, "Don't mind, Uncle, I admit it's rude to learn how to speak, but it's so funny, and I think I'll use it a lot in the future." ā€

"Don't take it personally. Albert smiled, "Friends don't need to say that. ā€

"You're right, my friend. Yadunis nodded. "Aber, if you have nothing else to do, come back to the academy with me. He said abruptly. "I will provide you with tuition fees to study at the Royal Martial Arts Academy in Auston, and I will arrange your accommodation. Don't worry, the Auston Royal Martial Arts Academy can also learn magic, although the level of education is not as good as that of Barfia School of Magic, but it is not about the same. Yadunis looked at Albert. "How's that idea? Once we became classmates, we were able to talk a lot. ā€

"The sun god is above, Yadonis, you are really sensitive. Joanna muttered. "Why don't you stay together? ā€

"That's right, Joanna. Yadunis nodded. "It's a really good idea. He said solemnly.

Joanna rolled her eyes, defeated.

"I'm sorry, Yadonis. Albert said apologetically, "As much as I would love to say yes, I have to turn down your invitation, my family needs me." ā€

"That's a pity. Yadonis sighed. "I'll miss you, my friend. ā€

"Me too, goodbye, my friend. Albert smiled, and just as he was about to leave, something suddenly occurred to him. "Young noble master, you said you would pay me, right? He looked at Padwin.

"I ......," Padwin was about to say, "I didn't say that," but remembering that Adouis valued Albert, he changed his mind again: "That's right." ā€

"Do you need money?" Yadunis reached for his purse.

Albert shook his head. "I only need the reward that this 'honorable' noble young master has just promised. ā€

Yadunis was stunned, then nodded. "Yes, you deserve it. ā€

"Huh. Padwin sneered, gritting his teeth. Reluctantly, he took five gold coins out of his purse, intending to throw them at Albert's feet and humiliate them. But after thinking about it, he chose to give up and handed the gold coin to Albert.

Taking the coin, Albert didn't thank him, and didn't even glance at Padwin.

"I have to go. Albert told Joanna, then looked at Yadunis and Erin. "Hopefully we'll see each other again. ā€

"We'll see you again. Yadonis patted Albert on the shoulder. "If you run into trouble, you can always come to me, and I'm at the Auston Martial Arts Academy. ā€
