My queen is rebelling!

（Happy Qixi Festival, everyone! I'm going to spend Qixi with my wife! Seriously, no one's really spending Qixi alone, right?）

Cohen ignored the discussions among the crowd.

His gaze, like a sharp blade, stared directly at the DuPont family's private box on the second floor.

His instinct told him that the DuPont family must be behind the attack.

Even if Sandro, the Second Young Master of the Southern Territory, was foolish and had a great desire to kill him, he wouldn't act in broad daylight.

They had just broken the arm of an heir and lost a high-level Legend in Florence!

To be high-profile in Florence after that would be suicidal.

So, the only ones left were the DuPont family.

He didn't need evidence; he just needed to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys!

Fourth rank?

What kind of combat power could a fourth rank in their thirties have!

Cohen felt a surge of heat, his experience points already approaching the threshold for advancement.

He would use this fourth rank as a whetstone to officially advance to the second rank!

… …

In the DuPont family's private box, Theodore's expression was uncertain.

They failed?

That bastard!

Even a Gold-level peak Necromancer couldn't take him down!

He was careless!

Despite repeatedly overestimating him, this scene still caught the usually calm and composed Theodore off guard.

Next to him, Boggs turned red and white when he heard Cohen challenge him in front of so many people.

He felt humiliated and incredibly angry.

How dare a mere first rank challenge a Silver rank? Who does he think he is, looking down on me!

He couldn't wait to rush out and beat the crap out of that bastard.

But when he thought about how even a Gold rank couldn't kill him, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Although it was impossible for him to lose to a first rank, even if he was powerful, he was still Bronze and couldn't break his "Silver Body."

But what if…

If the dignified Second Young Master of the DuPont family lost to a sixteen-year-old first rank.

Then he would never be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life!

While he was still hesitating, Theodore's cold voice rang in his ears:

“What's the panic! You need to be calm at times like this!”

Boggs forced himself to calm down, but his tone still betrayed a hint of panic:

“He… Why did he call me out like that? Did he discover something…?”

“What's there to be afraid of? You and the Second Young Master from the Southern Territory were the only ones who clashed with him in the past two days. Sandro is a playboy who hasn't even broken through to Bronze rank. He's challenging you to establish his authority!”

“Then should I go?”

“Are you braindead? What's the point of accepting a challenge where you gain nothing if you win and lose a lot of face if you lose?”

However, before Theodore's voice faded, two Legend-rank auras rose fiercely outside the private box.

In the Cabinet's private box, a series of changes left the seasoned Prime Minister somewhat unaccustomed.

Baron Gore, the Chief Justice next to him, said:

“It's not appropriate to pressure our Viscount family like this in Florence.”

Earl Middleton immediately spoke up:

“Does the Chief Justice want the Prime Minister to step in and quell the anger of the Pale Wings and the Extraordinary Arena for a Viscount family?”

“They haven't really made things difficult for the DuPont family, have they? They're just asking their heir to go down for a match.

Is a Silver rank afraid of a first rank?

If he doesn't accept the challenge, wouldn't that be a disgrace to the nobles of Effie?”

The ministers discussed animatedly for a while.

The Prime Minister coughed lightly and said:

“With such a big incident, we need to give an explanation. Since this 'Lord of Shadows' has chosen this method, why should we stop him?

Do you really want the two Legends from the Pale Wings and the Extraordinary Arena to personally interrogate the nobles present? To find the real culprit?”

The Prime Minister emphasized his tone:

“Gentlemen, dignity and respect are built on strength!”

With that, the ministers stopped arguing.

The Prime Minister changed the subject and said:

“Moreover, aren't you curious whether this 'Lord of Shadows' is just blinded by anger or truly confident in defeating a Silver rank?”

… …

Theodore's expression changed rapidly before he made a decision:

“Call it a draw and let him vent his anger!”

Boggs's expression changed slightly. If word got out, how would he, Boggs, ever show his face again?

A Silver rank in his thirties drawing with a first rank in his teens?

Looking at Boggs's uncertain expression, Theodore said coldly:

“Feeling humiliated? Unwilling? Then cultivate properly!

Her Majesty the Queen is even younger than you and can already suppress Legends with a flip of her hand.

If you had her strength, who would dare to pressure you today?”

Boggs hid the resentment on his face well, and it was unknown whether he took his uncle's words to heart.

Finally, Boggs walked out of the private box and onto the arena that had become a large pit.

The newest and most complete novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Cohen chuckled softly and said slowly:

“Young Master DuPont, before we start, I want to inform you of something.”

Boggs DuPont had regained his composure.

After all, he came from a noble family and had been influenced by it since childhood, so he wouldn't lose his decorum.

He gave a sincere smile:

“Please speak, Mr. 'Lord of Shadows'.

Our DuPont family has always been willing to make friends with young talents like you. Yesterday was just a moment of impulse on my part…”

Cohen laughed and directly interrupted the other party's hypocritical rhetoric, saying:

“It's nothing big, just heard that someone shamelessly made a marriage contract with my Nephthys.

I hope this marriage contract will be void from now on!”

As soon as the words fell, Boggs was stunned, and then a burst of anger suddenly gathered from the bottom of his heart, and his drooping hands trembled slightly.

That bastard!

He was deliberately trying to provoke him!

He had completely forgotten his uncle's instructions, and his mind was now filled with one thought:

He wanted to beat and humiliate this bastard who stole his fiancée in front of everyone!

With a bang!

The Silver aura erupted instantly.

Boggs's muscles bulged high, each of his hands wielding a wide battle axe, and his hair suddenly lengthened, like a burning flame.

His eyes were bloodshot, revealing endless fanaticism and desire for slaughter.

Fourth rank [Berserker]!

The extraordinary profession that the DuPont family's heir, who looked gentle and refined, advanced to was actually [Berserker].

No wonder he always felt like he was missing a screw in his head.

When the starting horn sounded, Boggs fell into an almost frenzied state, letting out a high-pitched roar, heavily stomping on the ground, and a violent tremor came:

Berserker class skill, War Stomp!

Cohen's Ghost Crab activated, lightly leaping away to avoid the control effect of War Stomp.

As he leaped high, a pair of slender, thick two-handed swords appeared in each of his hands.

Shining with a cold light under the sunlight.

After failing the first attack, Boggs had already stepped forward and charged over.

The Berserker's fighting style had no skill, only pure power and violent venting.

Looking at the flying axes, Cohen raised his swords in front of him.

Counterattack Storm!

Absolute defense!

Clang!

50% of the attack was negated, allowing Cohen to block the full blow of a Silver rank with his dragon-transformed Bronze body!

Counterattack Storm Second Stage!

Daze!

The powerful casting power caused Boggs to fall into a daze!
