Chapter 20: Conflict

Thump!

With a muffled sound, Reagan's body collided with the ground with a crisp sound.

"Think about it slowly......"

Then, a voice sounded from the side, with contempt in it: "Don't think that if you hide your sister, we won't find out." ”

"It's still early....."

They spoke something in fits and starts, and then their voices grew quieter and quieter, as if they were turning away.

The light rain continued to fall, and drops of rain fell to the ground, making a crisp sound everywhere.

By the side of the alley, Reagan lay on the ground, looking at the sky with some weakness.

The rain outside was dripping on his body, slapping on his face, but it couldn't make him react.

In the rain on the side, a drop of crimson blood was revealed, but it wasn't too much.

Looking at it like this, he should have suffered some minor injuries, maybe not too serious.

I don't know how long it has been, but in the distance, there was a slight sound of footsteps, followed by a shadow.

"Huh?"

Reagan looked up and saw a familiar figure standing aside.

At dusk, Yadimu's figure was revealed, so clear.

"Don't you get up yet?"

Beside Reagan, looking at Reagan's current appearance, he whispered.

It was dusk at the moment, and it was a little dark outside.

Adim stood beside Reagan, holding an umbrella in his hand, barely sheltering him from the elements.

"Yadim, it's you."

Reagan saw Yadimu's appearance clearly, and couldn't help but smile wryly on his face.

After seeing his friend, his eyes seemed to have a little more light.

With the help of Yadimu, he reluctantly got up and looked in front of him: "You know? ”

"I guess I know." Yadimu nodded: "What happened to you recently....."

"I don't know what to say, but thank you anyway."

Reagan smiled wryly: "I'm afraid you're the only one who dares to come to find it at this time." ”

"Is it troublesome this time?"

Artimu asked, then proposed, "Even if you can't refuse, can't you leave with your sister?" ”

"It's troublesome."

Reagan had a wry smile on his face: "Eggers...... He's the child of His Excellency the Marquis Green, and I'm just the son of a merchant......."

Marquis Green, this is a celebrity in the kingdom of Hodd.

It monopolizes a considerable part of the grain trade in the Kingdom of Hold, has many chambers of commerce, and is the Minister of Finance that the Hodd royal family needs to rely on.

His children, even if they are just the most ordinary ones, are not something that ordinary people can compete with.

"As for leaving ......."

Reagan had a bitter look on his face: "Where can I go?" ”

"Back to my father?"

"Impossible."

"That old fellow would love to hand over Elle so that he could curry favor with the Marquis's children, and thus get in touch with Marquis Green."

"To him, our two brothers and sisters are just bargaining chips, as long as Eggers is willing, even if our two brothers and sisters die here on the spot, what can we do?"

Artimus was silent.

Reagan's father was a traditional businessman and had many dozen children.

Reagan and Elle were just two of the other children, and if they could be sold for enough gain, there was no doubt that they would be abandoned.

Compared with pleasing the children of the marquis's family, it is just two ordinary children, what can not be abandoned.

"Staying in the academy will be a dead end sooner or later."

Yadimu spoke softly: "If you leave here, at least you will still be alive, but if you stay, your end will be doomed long ago." ”

It's a world where power is everything.

As a veteran student of the Helder Academy, Artimu was well aware of the rules within the Hodd Academy.

On the surface, Haud advocates equality, law and order, but in reality inequality is everywhere.

Violence and power, this is the maker of all rules.

Within this academy, it was impossible for Reagan, the son of an ordinary merchant, to oppose the son of a marquis.

His only chance was to leave, and then find a place where the opposing forces could not reach, and start his life again.

"You have a point."

Reagan smiled bitterly: "But ...... How can I leave? ”

Eggers..... That guy's people were all over the place, and I had to work hard to hide my sister, and how could I get her out. ”

"There's always a way."

Artimus comforted.

"Really?"

In the distance, a sudden sound was heard.

Artimus turned and looked there, just in time to see several figures approaching.

There were three figures, one of whom was a burly man wearing a tights and an exceptionally tall body.

The oppressive force given by his body alone is already very strong, not to mention his identity.

Knight Apprentice.

Within the Haud Academy, there is a clear boundary and characteristics between knight apprentices and normal students.

Although the person in front of him, Yadimu, didn't know him, he could see at a glance that this was a peer.

"I just wanted to come over and get you back, but I didn't expect there to be unexpected surprises."

The burly man looked at Yadimu with a look of surprise on his face: "Okay, come with me." ”

"What the hell do you want to do?"

Reagan barely got to his feet, his words filled with irrepressible anger.

"What for?"

The burly man smiled: "I'll tell you the truth, your sister is already in our hands." ”

"It's a pity, your sister has a terrible personality, and she keeps crying there, so it can easily make Mr. Eggers lose her appetite."

"In order to prevent this from happening, we specially came to invite you, so that you can persuade your sister so that she can be more stable."

"Shame on you!"

Reagan spoke angrily, unable to hold back the anger in his heart any longer: "My sister has a marriage contract, you are a robber!" ”

"Engagement? All right. ”

The burly man smiled: "But, who cares? ”

"And this gentleman, please come with me too."

He looked at Artimu on the side, and saw the identity of Artimuna's knight's apprentice, but he didn't care.

There are actually quite a few knight apprentices in the academy, but except for a few, more people are just messing around, and they don't need to care at all.

With his strength, except for a few people, the rest of the people don't have to take it to heart.

Artimus was clearly not among them.

But the unexpected apparently happened.

"I'll follow you."

A seemingly slender hand reached out and grabbed the man's outstretched arm accurately.

Then, clear words fell, with a strange calm: "However, it is you who will lead the way." ”

As the words fell, a powerful force surged from the palm of his hand, and he pressed the man to the ground.

Bang!
