Chapter 934: Chapter 589: Only Children Make Choices_1
Hearing the malicious voice, Layne’s expression changed as he turned around abruptly.
He discovered that, at some point, a young man dressed in luxurious noble attire and a hunched old man were standing not far from the five mercenaries.
Moreover, around the necks of the five mercenaries who had just escaped death, several sharp ice blades emitting cold air were floating at different angles, rendering them motionless, frozen in place.
Without a doubt, as long as the caster had a single thought, these five bewildered mercenaries would be immediately covered in blood.
Seeing this scene, Layne furrowed his brows and looked back at the caster, the young man dressed in luxurious noble attire.
In stark contrast to his extravagant attire, the young man’s pale face bore a chilling smile, showing seven parts condescension and three parts viciousness.
“Cliff, what do you want to do?”
Staring at the blue magic array spinning at the tip of the magic wand in the hands of the lavishly dressed noble young man, Layne asked in a deep voice.
This noble young man named Cliff was the youngest son of the City Lord of Greyrock City, the largest neighboring city.
As a typical noble prodigal son, he relied on his father’s power and wealth to act domineeringly in Greyrock City, and everyone knew of his infamy… Perhaps “notorious” would be more accurate.
Even his strength as a Tier 3 powerhouse was due to his father’s vast resources.

His City Lord father, as a representative figure of the newly risen nobles, was no less ruthless in his governance and exploitation of his lands and people than Marquis Lade, the City Lord of the neighboring Iron Fort.
“What am I doing? Naturally, I’m avenging my beloved pet,” Cliff said coldly, looking at the motionless Rock-horned Wolf King.
Immediately afterward, his colorful magic wand drew a light arc in midair.
As the cold air rose, the sharp ice blades hanging around the necks of the five mercenaries moved even closer, directly pressing against their skin.
“Ah!”
Feeling the bone-chilling cold of the ice blade’s tip, Bonnie couldn’t help but cry out in surprise, forcing her trembling body to stabilize due to fear.
The prospect of her throat being pierced by the sharp ice blade at any moment clearly terrified her to the core.
However, Bonnie’s eyes still shimmered with light.
She hadn’t given up hope; after all, the knight who had saved her not long ago was nearby! The knight would surely come to her rescue!
On the other hand, seeing the slight bloodstains appearing on Bonnie’s pale neck pressed against the ice blade, Layne’s hands gripping the metal heavy bow tightened even more.
He then asked, “Cliff, so you’re saying that this Tier 3 Rock-horned Wolf King was yours?”
“You fool, you’ve finally figured it out?”
Sneering dismissively, an intense aura of malice flooded Cliff’s pale face as he shouted in rage, “But after all, you are nothing more than a watchdog my family keeps. Do you even deserve to call me by my name directly?”
Pausing for a moment, Cliff’s voice soared even louder, roaring, “Call me Young Master Cliff!”
Upon hearing this, Layne remained expressionless, but his hands gripping the metal bow tensed and then helplessly loosened as he gritted his teeth and said, “Yes, Young Master Cliff.”
At this moment, Layne understood clearly.
As the other party had said, in the end, he was just a small independent knight commander dependent on the other party’s family territory, even though this land once belonged to his own family.
The force behind the other party was the powerful contender for the throne, the Second Prince, surrounded by cities all belonging to the same faction.
As a result, there was no room for comparison between himself – a declining noble nearly forced to disband his knight group – and the thriving other party.
As the saying goes, people under the eaves have no choice but to bow their heads. To protect the other members of the knight group from the other party’s malicious harm, Layne, as the knight commander, had no choice but to obey.
“Hahaha, a well-behaved lapdog indeed!”
On the other side, a wild and triumphant smile spread across Cliff’s face, filling the entire forest.
Looking at Cliff’s disdainful gaze on Layne, and the latter choosing to remain silent, Bonnie, who was standing next to them, stared blankly, her eyes gradually darkening.
She felt something in her heart breaking apart rapidly.
It seemed the brave knights who did not fear authority and saved the weak in the end only existed in the praises of wandering poets and fairy tales…
“Alright, let’s settle our accounts now.”
Cliff spat disdainfully, then said menacingly, “Originally, I just wanted to let my adorable pet out to hunt and kill a few mercenaries for fun, but now it’s dead. How should we settle this account?”
“Hunt and kill mercenaries?!”
Hearing this, the middle-aged mercenary captain was first taken aback, then swiftly realized, “So you’re the one who posted the mission?!”
“Nonsense. Where in the world can you exchange a few pebbles for a large amount of commission? It’s the price you fools pay for being toys to my pet!” Cliff sneered, looking at the middle-aged mercenary captain as if he were an insignificant ant.
