Chapter 192: 191, don’t you know me yet? Chapter 192: 191, don’t you know me yet? “Angry?” Watching Shane show an extremely displeased expression, Luoqi seemed amused as she spoke. “Nonsense.” Shane, still with a displeased face, said, “I’m not asking for any credit, but whether it’s subduing Killian or annihilating Beddo and the Old Demon Clan Faction, that’s undoubtedly a meritorious deed, isn’t it? Is this how you treat someone who has made contributions?” Be it Beddo, Killian, or those from the Old Demon Clan Faction, they were clearly the most wanted criminals who had turned the capital into Hell ten years ago, and many Nobles of the kingdom had suffered greatly and hated them fiercely. But now? Shane, the great contributor who had resolved these chief culprits, not only hadn’t received any rewards or gratitude but had instead been reluctantly dragged into this tedious dispute of power and suspicion? Then these guys truly deserved to be slaughtered by members of the Old Demon Clan Faction. But that is Nobles for you. As the saying goes, ‘Every man for himself, and the Devil takes the hindmost.’ The more extensive the involvement in a matter, the more intertwined are various thoughts and considerations, ultimately leading to an outcome that couldn’t satisfy anyone at all. That’s the usual saying, reality is often crueler than one imagines. All disputes and confrontations over interests can’t possibly proceed as written in novels, with a give and take, but are instead filled with various surprises and variables. Even an omnipotent being like the Supreme God has the Demon King as a natural enemy. This proves, even Gods can’t have everything go their way. Regarding this, Luoqi still tried to soothe him. “The kingdom will certainly not mistreat those who have made contributions, otherwise, no one would serve the kingdom.” Luoqi smiled and said, “Don’t be too angry. Although some people indeed have malicious intentions, there are also many who stand by your side.” “Really?” Shane was slightly taken aback. “Of course,” Luoqi affirmed strongly. “For instance, me, Father, and Elder sister. We all want to acknowledge your achievements, recognize your potential. Thus, your contribution won’t go unnoticed. If things go well, you might even be knighted and become a Noble.” Upon hearing this, Shane curled his lips in a disdainful manner. Become a Noble? Is the kingdom planning to make me pledge my life to it, binding myself to this country? This might not mistreat Shane, but it also involves the royal family’s own considerations. Shane, upon hearing this, would feel not only unenthusiastic but even more annoyed. “There is also the Lazahad family. Lord Migis should also be on your side. With this, the vassals of the Lazahad family and those relatively close to them will stand by your side.” Luoqi, not knowing if Shane was annoyed, chuckled while speaking. “Besides that, there are the families fiercely loyal to the royal family. With the royal family supporting you, they will only choose to side with you. Then, there are also some other Nobles who genuinely appreciate you for avenging them by destroying the Old Demon Clan Faction, or those impressed with you, looking forward to your future, wishing to win you over, or even invest in your journey. There are quite a few of such people, right?” Luoqi tried her best to boost Shane’s confidence. However, Shane merely uttered a faint sentence. “Are you sure, after coming into contact with you, that there will still be nobles who have a good impression of me?” That single sentence left Luoqi speechless. Indeed. Would there be any Nobles who would still have a favorable impression of Shane? You should know, given Luoqi’s popularity, those nobles dreaming of an alliance through marriage with the royal family, aspiring to be Luoqi’s marriage partner, accounted for over ninety-nine percent of the nobility in the Mitra Kingdom. Furthermore, considering those Nobles who think Princess should marry a prince from a foreign country or an important figure from another clan to strengthen or even enhance the kingdom’s status, how could they have a good impression of Shane, knowing too well how close Luoqi and this ordinary Adventurer were? Even, those families fiercely loyal to the royal family, whether they genuinely show loyalty outwardly and act differently behind the scenes, remains an unknown. Because they were fiercely loyal to the Royal Family, these families would place immense importance on Luoqi’s suitor, and it was certain that many did not take kindly to Shane. Who knows, during the forthcoming audience, Shane might be backstabbed by these people who he thought were on his side. That feeling... yeah, it would definitely be bittersweet. Thinking of this, Luoqi’s expression became uncomfortable, and her eyes even revealed a sense of timidity. In a word, she seemed pitiful, weak, and helpless. Just then, Luoqi said weakly, “Why don’t you try revealing your identity as the Hero?” If he were truly the Hero, that role would undoubtedly suit Luoqi perfectly. Wasn’t it once common for countless kingdoms to offer their princesses with folded hands, begging for acceptance based on the Hero’s identity? But now... “I don’t mind,” Shane replied briskly. “After all, I am an Otherworldly Person. Even if the God, Human, and Demon clans really go to war and there’s killing everywhere, life-and-death struggles, it wouldn’t be my concern anyway; I’ve done more than enough.” Right? Shane didn’t want to reveal his identity as the Hero for two reasons: one, he didn’t want to invite trouble, and two, he did not want to cause a calamity that would affect others and disturb the thousand-year peace maintained among the God, Human and Demon clans. And if the locals themselves didn’t care, why should Shane care about it anymore? “...forget I said anything.” Luoqi suddenly clammed up. “Sigh...” Shane exhaled and mused, “Well, if something truly unpleasant turns up, I have my own ways of dealing with it.” Those words startled the withdrawn Luoqi. “What... what are you planning to do?” Luoqi began to feel terrified. She couldn’t help it; although she had only known Shane for a short while, Luoqi had mostly figured out the man’s nature. He was the type who never played by the rules, whose wild ideas were beyond anyone’s guess; thoroughly unpredictable, such that during calm times, he would be the sincerest one, and in other times, he could turn everything topsy-turvy. And to make things worse, this man was a true Hero, possessing capabilities not less than her own, even seemingly holding a Holy Sword much stronger than that of her own ancestors. What if he really went crazy? “Calm down for a moment, there’s no need to be rash, we can discuss things slowly, right? Right?” Unable to help herself, Luoqi blurted out these words, and even grabbed Shane’s hand as if to prevent him from doing anything hasty, nearly pressing her body against his. “Relax, I won’t do anything, don’t you know me yet? Just a simple guy here!” Shane naturally gave Luoqi an obedient look. But Luoqi felt like cursing. You’re honest? If you were honest, the Old Demon Clan Faction could be deemed great paragons of world peace and order! Suddenly, Luoqi felt that the worst part of this audience might not be the nobles, but the man before her.
