57 Threat
  When he saw Alphonse striding towards him, Kebeli's eyes widened immediately.

"Alphonse! What do you want to do in my house?"

Kayberry was furious. He pointed at Alphonse and shouted, "I was careless in the last duel and allowed you to defeat me. You country bumpkin, I want to fight you again."

Alphonse's figure flashed forward, as if he had changed his position.

The shadow of his hand flashed.

Snapped!
  There was a crisp sound.

Alphonse slapped Caibeli and knocked him out. He stared at him fiercely and bared his teeth, "You have no manners, you should call me Your Excellency Baron!"

Kebeli was slapped so hard that stars popped out of his head, and he fell to the ground holding his swollen cheeks in a daze.

He was completely stunned by this slap.

During the last duel, it could be said that he was caught off guard, but this time, he didn't even see Alphonse's movements clearly, and he didn't even have time to react, so he was slapped hard. How could he do it? Can you not be frightened?

A middle-aged man in luxurious clothes rushed out of the room where Kebeli came out, with his hand on the hilt of his sword.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Alphonse could see that this man was not staring at him, but at Mia behind him, his eyes full of fear.

It seems that I saw him during that honor duel.

He seems to be a knight of the Aldrich family?

"Let Baron Tartarus come in." A gloomy voice came from the door.

The knight then stepped aside.

Alphonse walked in the door calmly.

His eyes glanced around quietly.

This study is quite spacious, facing a huge desk. The style is somewhat like the executive desk of later generations. It is made of dark wood with complex patterns. The edges are carved with fine patterns, which can be vaguely seen along the grain of the wood. See some traces left by the years.

Baron Aldrich was sitting behind the desk and looked over with a cold gaze.

The appearance is very similar to Kayberry.

The same thick eyebrows, protruding aquiline nose, and a sour look on his face.

The difference is that the long gray hair that is almost shawl has been deliberately permed into two curls, and he still has two mustaches with upward curling ends.

He looks like a rather sinister person.

Alphonse waved his hand, drew a chair from the air, and sat down politely.

Mia followed closely and stood quietly behind Alphonse like a javelin.

Alphonse showed off this move, causing a slightly surprised look on Baron Aldrich's face, but he still said coldly, "Baron Tartarus, you brought people into my mansion so unscrupulously, and you still... You hit my son, what on earth do you want to do?"

"Kybery is so rude, I couldn't help but help you discipline me." Alphonse put a hand on the table and tapped his fingers on the table. "I came here mainly for your dyeing." The wastewater discharged by Bufang polluted the river and affected the drinking water of residents in my territory."

"Do you want to protest to me? My dyeing workshop has always discharged wastewater in this way. If you are dissatisfied, you can directly go to the Noble Council to sue me. You may have a good chance of winning the case, but the verdict will be higher. There's no guarantee how long it will take before it comes out." Baron Aldrich smiled confidently.

It was obvious that there was someone behind him. A court controlled by nobles cannot be said to be fair at all.

"Accuse you? No, no, no!" Alphonse also laughed, "I have no such plan, I am just here to inform you that if you continue to discharge wastewater like this, the Cold Wind Territory will launch a war on your territory."

Baron Aldrich's face turned cold, "Are you trying to threaten me?"

"Yes, it's a threat." Alphonse smiled even more cheerfully, his disdain evident in his words.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" Baron Aldrich's tone rose a bit.

"I don't need you to be afraid. There is an old saying that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. The Cold Wind Territory is already so poor, so I have nothing to worry about. Once the war starts, I can guarantee that there will be no end between us. In this situation, this war will only end if one side falls. Do you think the dyeing workshop you built by the river can still continue to work? I will destroy it as soon as possible. "

"You are in my territory now! If you dare to speak to me like this, are you afraid that you will not be able to get out of here today?" Baron Aldrich shouted sharply.

"Just you?" Alphonse raised his hand and pointed at Baron Aldrich and the knight standing behind him, "Don't make me laugh, you are really bad."

He smiled and said, "Even if you go to mobilize the guards now, you can't even hope to keep me here. If I dare to come, of course I can leave safely."

As soon as he finished speaking, Alphonse slapped his palm on the desk.

There was a loud "boom".

The huge desk collapsed, and sawdust flew everywhere.

Baron Aldrich was startled and ran away in panic, even knocking over the chair he was sitting on.

The knight beside him quickly drew his sword out of its sheath and protected him in front of him.

"Don't even think about hurting my lord!"

Mia immediately put her hand on the hilt of the sword, took a step forward, and stared at him.

No matter how fierce the knight yelled, he was still deeply afraid of Mia. He had already seen Mia take action before, and he was not his opponent, so he did not dare to take the initiative at this time.

Alphonse raised his hand to stop Mia and said leisurely, "Don't be nervous, I just want you to understand the current situation. Baron Aldrich, if you really find the guards to surround me, I will have no choice but to attack you. "

"You brat! Aren't you afraid of legal sanctions? I will sue you to the Parliament of Nobles!" Baron Aldrich roared angrily.

"You go and sue." Alphonse looked at Baron Aldrich, crossed his legs, folded his hands casually in front of his chest, and said contemptuously, "Your discharge of waste water has seriously affected the normal life of the people under my command. , I have legitimate reasons for launching the war, and the noble council has no right to interfere."

Ever since he knew that the group of veterans brought back by the old baron were quite strong in the surrounding territories and could wage war against others for legitimate reasons, Alphonse had no worries.

He was just certain that Baron Aldrich would not dare to challenge easily.

His territory has developed much better than the Cold Wind Territory.

How could a person with a great family and a great business dare to start a war with others at will until the moment when the life and death of the family was at stake?

The reason for not using the soul-stirring method to control him was because there were too many people talking. If Baron Aldrich behaved too strangely and his attitude changed too much, it would definitely arouse suspicion. There had already been a commotion at Earl Mujik's house. Let’s stop adding extraneous matters.

It would not be nice if people knew that they had the means to control others and were attacked by a group of people.

"You despicable brat! What do you want?" Baron Aldrich gritted his teeth in anger.

This gangster-like guy can actually become a noble.
