No one talked or responded to the sarcasm from Robert but gunpowder burn slled in the air. Arthur's muscles tensed feeling the state of things that were about to get worse.
He has sword skills maybe not be as good as Anna but still can be recognized among the wall guards. But the problem right now was that Arthur wasn't wielding a sword and he wasn't very good at fighting with his bare hands.
Arthur knew that if a fight broke out he would have to be on Robert's side. No matter who was wrong or right he had to neutralize the enemy first before asking his friends about the situation.
Milton's face grew sour and his hands clenched tightly. The sa thing happened to Riley and Sharad, their body language said they were ready to fight at any mont.
Artur glanced at Awni and Kira, figuring out where they position themselves in this situation. He knew that those two people were very strong, especially Awni who might be stronger than Riley, the number two in Milton's group.
However, it seems that not only Artur wants to know which side Awni and Kira are on, but Milton and his goon also glanced at them. Once again Sharad who had a short fuse started snorting and curtly asked,
"Awni, Kira, you two have no business in this matter. Quickly get out of the way before you get into trouble,"
Awni and Kira glanced at each other before Kira answered casually, "Why should I get out of the way? As far as I know, the eting room doesn't belong to the Badakar family so I'm free to stand anywhere I want."
"What? I was kind enough to warn you but you threw it away because of arrogance. Do you think the Rangkuti clan will say anything when I smack that sassy mouth of yours?"
Before Kira could reply, Awni already said threateningly, "Rangkuti clan may not say anything but I make sure that you will no longer be able to walk out of this room with two legs intact.
"After all, I believe you don't have the ability to touch the ends of my fiancé's hair." Awni continued with a condescending grin on his face.
"What do you say!?" Sharad's anger was about to explode.
Riley tapped him on the shoulder and shook his head, Sharad could only swallow his anger and retreat. Pushing his red hair back, Riley watch Kira from head to toe like he was asuring the price of an item.
Awni wasn't happy that his fiancé was being looked at like that and wanted to confront Riley, but Kira's hands that were linked to him prevented Awni from doing that.
"Heh… Awni, I've known you for a long ti and I've always considered you my rival. But now you are no longer worthy of carrying my shoes. You are already a man whose life is dictated by won. Hahaha… I really wonder what Kira gave you to make you bow down to her like this." An extrely disdainful sneer escaped from Riley's mouth.
Awni's body was shaking to hold back his mounting anger but the one who moved first was not himself but Artur who couldn't stand this conversation anymore.
Even if he wasn't very good at hand-to-hand combat but to punch soone's arrogant face anyone could do it. Using a stance as he was about to draw his sword, Artur unleashed a punch from his waist.
*BAM!
But Riley quickly fends it off by covering his face with his hands. Even so, Arthur's powerful punch knocked him three steps back. The already tense atmosphere froze because of Arthur's sudden attack.
"BLA BLA BLA BLA… Are we gonna fight or what? Why are you still chatting like a woman in a market?" while doing akimbo, Artur spat on the floor.
"WHAT THE FUCK HELL ARE YOU DOING!!!!" Sharad completely went berserk, no longer controlling his anger and pretending to be civil he attacked Arthur without hesitation.
But Kira, who had been waiting for this, quickly let go of her hands that were embracing Awni and brushed off Sharad's punch which was aid at Artur's face. Then Kira took a low stance and kicked Sharad in the stomach.
But Sharad was not so easily lost, he quickly retreated and fixed his stance. Then he went back forward by attacking Kira wildly.
These people already possessed the foundation of excellent martial arts. To beco a mage required not only a good Grade of Mana Flow but also a strong body. Because of that, from childhood, they have practiced martial arts, whether using weapons or bare hands.
Riley felt insulted that he has knocked back three steps by a dirty commoner's punch. With a red face, he was about to attack but Awni quickly stopped him with a relaxed face.
"Hahaha… I'm ashad to have ever thought of you as a rival. You look very embarrassing right now, if we et on the street don't greet okay?"
"AWNI!!!!" Riley's rage exploded.
With fast and controlled steps he started dancing with Awni, in every second, an exchange of punches and blocks occurred. As Arthur had expected the two of them were extrely strong, be it in terms of technique or strength, the two students didn't look like normal humans.
Artur didn't expect that these arrogant nobles would not hesitate to kill each other when a fight broke out. To him fights were commonplace but he had never realized that it was the sa for nobles.
Artur felt a wind hit his face, just as his eyes were about to roll over due to his body reflexes he saw a large fist approaching his face very fast. Arthur couldn't do anything to avoid the attack, he just hoped that his skull didn't crack.
But before the punch could touch Arthur, a palm held it down till it couldn't move anymore. The palm looks very large and sturdy, giving rise to a sense of security for those it protects.
"Robert, are you really going to fight just for wanting to defend this commoner?" Milton said with a frown, feeling his punch easily blocked by Robert.
"Milton, I will not only fight you but also break your hand if you touch my friend," Robert who doesn't know how long it's been standing beside Artur answered with threatening eyes.
"Heh… Let's see what the strongest human's child is capable of then,"
Milton easily released his hand from Robert's catch and set his stance to attack. Robert pushed Arthur's body away and also prepared for his attack.
*BOOM!!
The two fists t in the air and the eting room shook.
Like a dynamite exploding, a loud sound was heard as the bones and flesh in their hands collided. If Awni and Riley's battle exceeds normal human limits, then Robert and Milton's battle can be categorized as equivalent to a battle between mages.
Artur did not understand how ordinary humans who had not yet beco mages could beco this strong. This confusion made Artur very sure that the nobles were hiding other ways to beco strong than by becoming a mage.
He wanted to complain but he realized that "fairness is a son of bitch".
"Hey don't be stunned, this fight happened because of you so at least you contributed a little," the black-haired man who was standing behind Awni earlier said to Artur.
"…"
"The servant has the sa personality as his master. How impolite, introduce yourself first before saying anything!" the woman who received the glass from Kira earlier also stood beside Artur.
"…"
"Look whose talking, you also don't introduce yourself!" the black hair guy said with a snort "Artur, my na is Jemah Mahdavi, I am the servant of Awni Mahdavi."
"If only our master wasn't engaged then I would have crushed that annoying face of yours." the glass lady clenched her fists threateningly, "Artur, my na is Hani Rangkuti, servant of Kira Rangkuti,"
"Hi?"
Artur was at a loss for what to say, the familiarity shown by these two servants didn't seem to just stem from the engagent of their two masters. Artur realizes that the relationship between the Mahdavi clan and the Rangkuti clan is very close, beyond the rumors.
But strangely even though they both had the sa last na as their master they were still just servants. Artur got new knowledge from this, it turns out that even in a noble family, there is a social class of its own.
"Even though I hate every breath that Jemah exhales, I agree that you also have to contribute to this fight." Hani's voice sounded like she was going to vomit like having the sa opinion as Jemah was the most disgusting thing.
"How?" Artur looked around and realized that he had no place to help Robert, Awni, or Kira. He still wanted to live a little longer and every blow these people threw could end his petty wish.
"Look they have co!" Jemah pointed ahead of them and Artur saw the people who had been walking behind Milton and the others coming towards them with bloodlust faces.
Artur realized that they were the servants that Milton and the others had brought over.
"Shit, am I really Robert's servant? Why do I have to deal with these lackeys?"
"If you mind, why don't you just join in on Robert's fight, it looks like he needs a at shield," Hani pointed at Robert who had just received a punch on his left cheek but he managed to retaliate with a sharp kick on Milton's ribs.
"Ah? Looks like I'm fit to fight these lackeys" Arthur quickly changed his mind.
"pfft" Jemah pretended to hold back his laughter.
"Okay enough chit-chat ti to strike!" Hani looks so excited.
