Chapter 47: The Clown Part 2

Seeing Weibor sitting on the ground, Dean sneered in his heart and shouted loudly, “Who are you?”

“I, we are Lord Weibor’s guards!”

Compared to Weibor sitting on the ground, the other two guards were still barely able to stand. Hearing Dean’s question, they immediately answered subconsciously. However, their stuttering fear at the beginning gradually became smooth towards the end—because they suddenly remembered Weibor Tier’s identity. They had no need to be afraid in front of these people.

“Damn it, how dare you treat Lord Weibor like this!”

The other guard hurriedly helped Weibor up from the ground. In order to hide the embarrassment of themselves and the Lord they served, they tried to blame everything on Dean.

Hearing the other’s angry shout, Dean sneered again—

In fact, everything happening before his eyes was part of Dean’s plan.

Whether it was Weibor being frightened or his subsequent reactions, everything was within Dean’s expectations. The only thing that caught him off guard was that the other party actually fell down from fear.

However, even though everything was planned by himself, Dean would not admit it when facing their interrogation!

For this bunch of people with ulterior motives but no ability, Dean would not be polite—

“Lord Weibor? So, may I ask what Lord Weibor’s title is?”

Dean acted as if he were confused, muttering to himself as he thought about who this Lord Weibor was. When he couldn’t come to a conclusion, he asked the three people in front of him.

“A title, his title is…”

The two guards muttered.

“No title? Then what position does this Lord Weibor hold in the service of Lord Baron?”

Dean continued to ask.

“This, this…”

The two guards’ words became more and more vague.

“Is that the status of a Knight?”

Dean asked next.

“No, no…”

The two guards had no idea how to answer anymore.

In fact, these two guards really wanted to mention a title or official position to make Dean in front of them surprised, shocked, kneel, and ask for forgiveness. Unfortunately, although Weibor Tier was a distant relative of Baron Tier, he did not have any title—what about the title of Baron Tier’s distant aunt and uncle’s family? Obviously, even if there was one, it would not fall to a stepson like Weibor to inherit; moreover, there wasn’t!

That’s right, Baron Tier’s distant aunt only married a wealthy merchant.

It was this kind of practice of abandoning one’s own honor for money that made Baron Tier dislike his distant aunt very much, and by extension, his stepson as well.

If it weren’t for the sake of preserving the dignity of the Nobility, Dean was sure that Baron Tier had long ago driven the other party out—for such matters, Dean was very clear, which is why he dared to deal with this Weibor Tier and the other’s guards like this.

Even, this appearance of the other party, Dean had to guess that it was Baron Tier who wanted to teach a lesson to his distant cousin Dean, to make him retreat and leave the Tier Territory.

Of course, this was not conceived by Baron Tier who cared about face, but likely proposed by Ikes, one of Baron Tier’s Aide or Advisors—for this Ikes who died in battle with Baron Tier in history, Dean knew not much but it was enough to be deeply impressed.

After all, the Grand Duchess praised him as ‘upright, having considerable literary foundation, decent Sword Technique, if he wasn’t too rigid…’

Dean did not hear the subsequent words clearly, but such a sentence was enough.

Those who could receive praise from the Grand Duchess were all those who had left a deep mark on Goedz. Dean believed that if he hadn’t died in battle with Baron Tier, this Ikes would definitely be one of the indispensable figures in the Emerald Kingdom, even if he was very rigid and viewed the honor and dignity of the Nobility as Health.

However, precisely because of such emphasis, the other party would be very intolerant of this Weibor Tier, even wanting to expel him.

Only he could persuade Baron Tier to give him such a ‘job’!

Otherwise, given Baron Tier’s attitude towards Weibor, the latter could never appear here, especially at such an ‘urgent’ time.

Of course, from another perspective, Baron Tier and that Ikes had also obtained some information about him.

After all, purchasing food and weapons from ‘Snow Bear’s Home’ or hunters, he did not do any so-called concealment—although because of the time difference, it could delay some time for him, Dean did not expect to delay for a lifetime.

Two or three days was already an extreme limit.

Tier Town was just a small town, and even in the Capital of Emerald, some news spread very fast.

So, Dean could guess that Ikes gave Baron Tier the idea to ‘test’ him—this way, he could drive away the annoying guy like Weibor and at the same time find out his true origin. This kind of killing two birds with one stone approach, Baron Tier would naturally not oppose.

As for going to the Capital of Emerald to verify?

Obviously, a small Baron with a border Territory would not have such ability, it would be more appropriate if it were the Marquis of all Vauban County.

But Dean was currently just facing Baron Tier.

As for Marquis Vauban?

When the time came to face that Marquis, Dean would naturally arrange everything.

However, that was a later matter.

And now—

Swish, swish!

With two crisp sounds of the Whip, Weibor’s two guards were beaten to the ground by Dean. At the same time, Dean shouted loudly, “No title, no official position, not even a Knight, yet you dare to address him as My Lord, you are really bold and reckless—Come, hang these two outside!”

“My Lord, spare our lives!”

“My Lord, spare our lives! Lord Weibor, save us!”

The two guards, seeing the young man jump down from the horse like a wolf or tiger, immediately started crying and wailing. Weibor, who had been sitting on the ground, finally came to his senses at this moment. Seeing his two guards about to be dragged away, he scrambled up and shouted loudly, “Wait! Do you know who I am? I am the Baron’s brother!”

Undoubtedly, such a shout still had considerable effect. The young people were stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Dean.

Seeing the questioning looks of the young people, Dean smiled coldly, “Brother of Baron Tier? Why have I never heard that Lord Baron has such a brother?”

“Because, because…”

Weibor simply didn’t know how to answer.

If he explained that he was just the stepson of Baron Tier’s distant aunt, such an answer obviously could not fool the people in front of him.

As for other reasons?

Obviously, with Weibor’s IQ, he couldn’t come up with anything.

Therefore, the result was naturally predetermined—

Ah! Ah!

After two screams filled with pain, Weibor’s two Retainers were hanged on the gallows outside the Military Camp, their Corpse swaying in the wind.

Looking at the two Retainers’ Corpse, then looking at Dean’s cold smile, Weibor’s eyes were filled with hatred.

“You wait for me!”

Leaving these words, Weibor quickly ran out of the Military Camp, while Dean stopped the intercepting young people.

“Regiment Commander, why didn’t you arrest him? Although he is the Envoy of Lord Baron, he impersonated Lord Baron’s brother. We should catch him, teach him a severe lesson, and then hand him over to Lord Baron, right!”

Mah looked at his Regiment Commander puzzledly, especially thinking about his arrogant attitude all the way and when entering the Military Camp. This Auxiliary Soldier Captain wanted to whip him badly.

“Who said he wasn’t Lord Baron’s brother?”

Dean glanced at Mah and smiled lightly.

“He, he really is Lord Baron’s brother?!”

Mah was stunned, then asked tremblingly. The young people around were also stunned, and the two Militia Captain anxiously said, “Regiment Commander, you just hanged his Retainers, what should we do now?”

“Don’t worry! Leave it to me!”

Dean scanned the anxious young people and finally put his gaze on the two Militia Captain: “Theron, you and your men start cleaning and sewing those leather armor, oil them as fast as possible, and dress neatly; Ike, come with me—I need you to take people to send a gift letter to Baron Tier on my behalf!”
