Aarons did not intend to kill anyone. He had already finalized a detailed action plan with Jiangyue before coming.

He knew that the other party would completely deny any statement on his side, and he also guessed that the other party would come up with something like an imperial edict to ensure that they occupied the commanding heights of public opinion.

Now that the aristocratic circles have reached a consensus, even if the emperor has not actually issued an edict, this so-called engagement will eventually become a fait accompli recognized by all the nobles.

Even if Claire herself disagreed with the marriage contract, the great nobles could issue a joint statement, turning her into a libertine who had ignored the formal marriage contract and eloped with an outsider, and she would lose all her reputation from then on.

Therefore, Aarons' plan was actually very simple - compared to killing people directly, which would cause endless troubles, it would be more effective to destroy the other party's reputation in public.

"You are just an heir, yet you dare to speak so arrogantly to the nobles appointed by His Majesty... I guess you are ready to die here!"

As long as the great nobles saw that he dared to openly attack and humiliate a duke's heir, no one would dare to target Claire again.

"Teacher Jiangyue, I leave those people to you! Zhuying, don't let anyone escape! Kill all his guards!"

After giving the order, Aarons immediately retreated to the side of the stage under the cover of Mo Qianyun.

At the same time, bright purple lightning condensed on the sword and spear in Jiangyue's hand.

Several guards subconsciously drew their weapons and wanted to rush forward to stop her actions. However, before they could take a few steps forward, their bodies were ruthlessly split in two by the flashing lightning, and then completely burned to charcoal.

——Compared to Aarons, who still maintained a basic sense of morality, this wise man who has lived for hundreds of years is not so compassionate.

"Oh, it seems you don't know the consequences of offending the nobles."

Although the Empire does have laws to protect the honor of the nobility from being violated, this law is simply impossible to enforce in reality - this is why Aarons was previously ridiculed.

But now, this law has become the best excuse for him to take action.

"Damn it...don't fight, cover me and get me out of here!"

"Negative. Don't even think about getting out of here."

Just as everyone was staring at the beautiful woman holding the spear, a loud explosion loud enough to burst the eardrums suddenly came from the sky.

A cherry-haired girl wearing a black dress and a white apron, holding a huge battle axe, suddenly dropped from the sky at an incredible speed, directly knocking several guards behind the Duke's son away.

That seemed to be a maid... Why did she come down from the sky? !

"I just heard that a guy who is not even a noble wants to punish me on behalf of the empire? Now I decided to give him a chance."

With Jiang Yue holding a lightning spear in front and Zhu Ying holding an axe in one hand behind, even if William Booker had a dozen guards around him, it would be unlikely for him to leave here safely.

At this moment, the audience in the audience was thinking about something else.

——Last time this young master dueled, he brought two female servants who looked very pretty but were ruthless when it came to killing people. Why did he bring two more people this time?

Is this the only horrible woman in his family? !

"Well, let me see what other cards you have."

……

Mo Qianyun didn't know what he could do.

Although she was temporarily hired by Aarons as a bodyguard, she had just recovered from a serious injury and had no weapons, so she did not have much fighting power.

"Leave the battle to Teacher Jiangyue, and you will be responsible for covering me... Although this is very dangerous, I can only ask you to be my meat shield this time."

She had wanted to kill him not long ago, but now he entrusted his life to her to protect - Mo Qianyun did not understand Aarons's thoughts at all, but she clearly felt the trust.

Although I am just a lowly mercenary, since I have been cared for and trusted, I must repay this kindness with all my strength.

"...Listen carefully. If the other party takes out any magic items, the two of us will retreat immediately."

I actually don’t quite understand why Aarons is so cautious.

After the expected battle officially began, the opponent's guards all lost their combat effectiveness within a few rounds.

This could be considered a one-sided victory - but the Marquis did not feel any joy at victory at all.

"…Marquis, are you really planning to make an enemy of the entire aristocratic circle?"

"Are you scared now? If you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I might show mercy and let you go."

The Marquis had no intention of killing his opponent from the beginning. He just wanted to humiliate him in public and make the great nobles of the empire lose some face.

But the short fat man seemed a little strange.

"Hey, do you think I will bow down to you if you kill a few guards? That's ridiculous..."

Although there were no guards around him, there was no fear on the man's face.

Why is this again?

"Heh, is the Duke's family just tough in words? Zhuying! Let him first--"

"I was originally planning to use this thing to deal with the disobedient princess, but I have no choice... I'll just let you see it for yourself!"

And when the man who was pointed at by swords, spears and battle axes calmly took out an ancient scroll from his pocket, Mo Qianyun immediately sensed an inexplicable danger.

Without waiting for Aarons to give the order, her body rushed out driven by instinct.

"——Become my slave!"

Just as the man opened the scroll facing Jiang Yue in front of him and was about to do something, Mo Qianyun's figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Master! Be careful——"

……

Although Aarons guessed what other cards the opponent had, he did not expect Mo Qianyun to react so quickly.

"Wait--"

However, just as the beautiful black-haired woman threw a full-strength punch at the fat man's face without hesitation, the scroll was torn apart by the man at the same time.

An indescribable wave of power instantly burst out from the scroll and directly hit the nearest target.

——Then, the heavy punch that should have knocked the man's mouth and eyes crooked stopped abruptly halfway.

“Ugh—Ahh…”

"Damn it, he suddenly showed up to ruin my plan! Forget it... follow my orders! Kill Aarons Moti!"

"what!"

Before Aarons could react to what was happening, he immediately saw a shocking scene -

Mo Qianyun, whose fist almost hit the man, suddenly turned around and pounced towards Aarons.

At this moment, the expression on her face was distorted, as if she was enduring some kind of pain with all her strength.

"Marquis, my lord...run away..."

And at this point, Aarons finally understood what had happened.

"Is it...mind control?!"

——Now, he has to pay the price for his arrogance.
