BXBX NOVEL Chapter 425
*Sigh* Vincent relaxed. He looked at the village security guard and explained with a frown, “He bumped into my wife, hurt her, insulted her body, and now I feel my family has been humiliated because of his actions.”
“But as the gentleman I am, I, Vincent Lionheart, tapped on his shoulder to tell him how it isn’t nice to mock others. However, to my astonishment, he started crying and saying how I hurt him.” Vincent continued.
Vincent looked at Kilo and his servant, saying, “His servant was about to attack me as well. I am now beginning to believe this was planned, and his shoulder was already injured. He simply wanted to take advantage of his injury and treat it as a free pass to place the blame on me. But I, the son-in-law of the truthful lion, have seen over his vile schemes.”
Ester held Lupa’s leash with a firm grip to stop her from attacking Kilo, while Iris stayed beside Lilith and asked how much pain she was in.
However, their attention soon went on to Vincent after hearing a strange fracture-like noise. Shortly, a pressure of dominating intent and bloodlust faintly reached them.
The four of them immediately knew Vincent wanted revenge. If he was about to fight, they were prepared to join in and assist their husband. But fortunately, before Vincent attacked a noble in front of so many eyes, the village security appeared and stopped the situation from escalating.
“Say sorry for what you did! You humiliated Lilith!” Ester shouted.
*Bark! Bark!* [I will bite this rope and bite your balls later! Mark my word, weak little human!]
.....
“I... I... was... humiliated...” Lilith stated with a wavering voice.
“The human must apologize for mocking Lilith. ” Iris said in a low voice.
“Bad human must say sorry.” *Pho*
The village security guard began to understand what had happened. He looked at Kilo with a frown and asked, “What is your defense this time?”
“I want compensation for being assaulted. ” Kilo demanded.
“I also want compensation for assault and humiliation.” Vincent looked at his wives and continued, “Furthermore, my family suffered from emotional damage. We all require compensation for the trauma he inflicted.”
Vincent looked at the village security guard and announced, “Thus, the Lionheart requests compensation and an apology for four people and two familiars.”
The village security guard felt pressured as no side wanted to concede. Furthermore, he didn’t miss Vincent’s gaze before stopping the commotion. Vincent looked like he wanted to shed blood on the coin road without caring for the consequences.
“I am a Blackheart. My family is Marquis rank, and I...”
“So what? You are trapped in the academy for six months with me.” Vincent interrupted in a menacing tone. He insinuated how Kilo would have to spend six months watching his back unless he cared for Vincent for good.
*Cough* “The situation is heated, and both sides want compensation. How about a good old fashion bet? We villagers of Paradise Island like to let the students host events. How about a grand event with reputation as the stake?” The village security guard suggested.
[This suggestion can be quite beneficial. I guess it would be the best choice to teach Kilo a lesson. But I wonder, what kind of events can they cater to, hmm...]
Vincent extended his hand for a handshake and stated, “I will stake my reputation and walk the coin road with only one small piece of clothing of my choosing. Furthermore, I will not seek revenge if anyone decides to throw something at me. Are you willing to do the same?”
Kilo said while grabbing Vincent’s hand, “I also want to add an extra condition. The loser must kneel and respectfully apologize in front of everyone on the stage. Additionally, the loser must roll on the ground once every hundred steps the loser takes.”
“Fine by me.” Vincent agreed.
*Sigh* “Now that both sides have accepted what the loser’s prize will be, what will be the friend competitions of your choice? Writing poems or a short book. Painting or making a sculpture. The choices without fighting are vast.”
[Vincent. Hehehehehe...]
-Can you stop giggling and tell me what is on your mind?-
[How about an eating contest where the loser has to pay for both contestants’ food and hired chefs?]
Vincent liked the idea. Shortly, an idea similar to what Kazumi had flashed before his eyes.
Vincent had Soul Dimensional Storage, and all he needed was control. At present, Vincent only cared about the size of the storage space. However, he never tried to control what get’s stored and the destination of the green fragment particles entering his body.
Vincent and Kazumi hoped Soul Dimensional Storage could become more refined through control during this eating contest.
“I vote for an eating contest. One where the loser has to pay for the whole event. Pay for the food, chefs, and any additional costs incurred. I think the previous winner’s rewards and this will be sufficient.” Vincent announced.
Kilo looked around and saw the audience nodding and smiling. Kilo slyly smirked as if he had already thought of a way to win and announced, “Eating contest it is. I Kilo Blacheart publicly challenge Vincent Lionheart to an eating contest next Saturday.”
Kilo smiled when he heard the audience chatter. He also noticed a few students sending their servants run to inform others about the un-missable big event next week.
Vincent and Kilo went over to a stall and wrote three identical documents with the village security guard and all the people looking at them as their witnesses.
After the documents were signed, the village security guard took one, Kilo took one, and Vincent also took one. Now everyone had a copy of the document.
Kilo and his servant left to start with their preparation, and the village security guard left to tell the island’s council about the event next Saturday.
Vincent turned around and saw his wives staring at him. A worried expression was on their faces as Vincent couldn’t cover the extensive amount of expenses should he lose the bet.
The bet was already against Vincent, yet they remained hopeful Vincent knew what he was doing to be the one to suggest an eating contest.
*Wink* “Don’t worry, girls. I upgraded my space recently. Hehe.” Vincent sad with patting his belly.
Anyone overhearing Vincent’s words would think he was a big eater. However, Ester, Lupa, Iris, Lilith, and Plow revealed a smile after realizing how Vincent had the intention of cheating. Not to mention how they will be able to enjoy the excellent food provided in the eating contest.
Vincent decided to go back to team ten’s island and start practicing to control where the fragments go. He also hoped to increase the transmission time and the fragments glowing less.
When they teleported, and the light faded, Vincent opened his eyes. He saw Jun Ye Rim not too far from the mansion’s entrance door.
Jun Ye Rim had a carpet under her feet, and she was similarly moving her body to yoga, yet her movements were different, and an aura of mana surrounded her.
Jun Ye Rim lost focus and fell on her bum when she saw Vincent and his wives approaching her. She became frightened and began to crawl backward when Vincent hurried his walking pace and raised his hand to help her get up.
“Go away, you horny dog! Don’t act kindly to me! All you humans want is to bed me! I can’t go anywhere in peace without eyes staring lustfully at me! I am not even that pretty!” Jun Ye Rim threw a tantrum when Vincent approached her.
[...] Kazumi didn’t know what to say at this moment. She felt Jun Ye Rim was harassed and came to the island with the intention of calming her mind since no one but her was on the island.
‘She is saying mean things, but why do I feel more pity for her instead of the other way around?’ Vincent thought. He felt confused and unable to say a word.
“Vincent is not that kind of man!” Ester answered angrily.
*Bark* [My mate doesn’t need random females with my best girl Lupa around.]
Lupa forgot Vincent and Kazumi were the only ones who could hear her speak.
“That is not nice. ” Iris said with a frown.
“I bet Vincent will not bed you even if you beg him to. As someone I know likes to say, Vincent follows the rules of the Lionheart Harem.” Lilith unhesitantly said.
*Pho!* “Pointy ears is being mean.” Plow said.
“Ahem.” Vincent loudly cleared his throat to calm the situation.
He looked at Jun Ye Rim and said, “What else? Let it all out. I want to know what is on your mind and in your heart. We are a team, and like Nick and Clair, your problems are also our problems.”
Jun Ye Rim momentarily paused as if Vincent’s words finally reached her. However, she quickly frowned and expressed, “Human males are always looking at me with a strange filthy look. Female humans are always looking at me with spite.”
“Why does everywhere I go, I only see a lustful or hateful gaze?...” Jun Ye Rim stopped after a slip of the tongue.
Jun Ye Rim made an expression as if she didn’t want to express these words, yet these words felt like they came from the heart.
