Chapter 164 - 127: Cousin Ruby Dressrosa (2)

"Yes, this is the Noble Order awarded to me by the Kingdom."

Thor nodded and then displayed his Noble Order.

Seeing Thor present his Noble Order,

Deguli’s expression involuntarily changed.

Amor’s pupils immediately dilated in shock.

"Impossible, how could you possibly be nobility?"

"Damn it, don’t you know that impersonating the Royal Nobility is a serious crime?"

Amor spoke with a harsh voice, his words tinged with urgency.

At this moment, an ominous thought inevitably rose in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

He was unwilling and didn’t dare to believe that Thor, just over twenty, could already be part of the Royal Nobility. How could this be possible?

"Indeed it is!"

"Hahaha, it seems our Dressrosa Family has another eagle ready to soar."

Looking at the Noble Order, the smile on Ruby’s face grew even broader.

"Brother Ruby, I think hastily striking a member of the Royal Nobility, and poorly managing a pet beast that frightened the Royal Nobility, should cost at least 5,000 Gold Coins to soothe their heart!"

Seeing Ruby’s smile and the aggressive Amor, Thor couldn’t help but speak with a gentle smile.

Hearing his words, Ruby’s eyes lit up.

"No, no, Brother Thor, the identity of a member of the Royal Nobility can’t just be worth 5,000. It should be 10,000 Gold Coins, at least 10,000. I will inform the Emerson Family."

He spoke with a similar smile.

"Impossible, you must be crazy!"

"How could it possibly be 10,000 Gold Coins!"

Amor’s eyes widened as he screamed in anger.

But soon a few knights quickly advanced, even gagging him directly.

"Brother Ruby, 10,000 Gold Coins might be too much; the Emerson Family won’t pay."

Morris couldn’t help but voice his concern until Amor was taken away.

"Naturally!"

"But still, the asking price needs to be reported as such."

Ruby said with a light smile.

Hearing his words, both of them understood the situation.

The price is quoted high, and when it comes time to pay, whatever amount they can give is fine, no loss either way.

This time it’s clearly the Emerson Family’s fault.

One way or another, they have to fork out some compensation.

But upon understanding this, Thor couldn’t help but hesitate.

"What’s wrong?"

Noticing Thor’s hesitation, Ruby curiously asked.

"Brother Ruby, is this okay?"

"Aren’t you currently a knight of the Pat Family? Amor is considered half a member of the Pat Family, too."

Thor asked with doubt.

He didn’t want Ruby to be affected by this incident.

"Don’t worry, Amor is solely of the Emerson Family and will only ever be part of the Emerson Family, with no relation to the Pat Family. Even if the Marquis knows about this, there won’t be any issues."

Ruby paused for a moment, then spoke with a laugh.

Hearing Ruby’s words, Thor remained somewhat hesitant.

After all, there is some connection, after all.

But Morris also chimed in at this moment.

"Hahaha, Thor, you don’t know this, but Brother Ruby is currently the most valued member by Marquis Pat, and has even been promised to participate in this Kingdom War to earn a title. Amor is nothing, there will be no problem."

Morris explained with a smile towards Thor.

Hearing Morris’s words, Thor’s eyes lit up, suddenly realizing.

This is indeed an extraordinary world, and his cousin’s immense talent, coupled with loyalty to the Pat Family from his father’s generation, makes him far more reliable and valuable than any descendant or bloodline.

Amor, not to mention merely being from the Emerson Family, wouldn’t even compare to Ruby even if he were from the Pat Family.

"I was overthinking!"

"Brother Ruby, thank you so much this time!"

Thor shook his head, speaking with a gentle sigh.

"No need to thank me, you’re my brother!"

"Come, have a drink at my house, you haven’t met your two nephews yet!"

Ruby laughed heartily, wrapping an arm around Thor.

"Then I’ll impose."

Thor nodded with a smile, not refusing.

After all, there’s nothing pressing to handle now.

The group then followed Ruby and left the place.

As for cleaning up the mess, there are naturally people assigned to that task; the Knight Commander Ruby needn’t worry.

As for Deguli,

Ruby paid him no attention at all.

Watching everyone leave, Deguli’s face changed constantly, finally letting out a sigh, doing nothing more.

He could bully the ordinary descendants of the Dressrosa Family, but this person was truly beyond his means to contend with.

Of course, Thor and the others had no idea of these thoughts.

Following Ruby, they first returned to the camp, and after a half-hour’s walk, reached the destination.

This was another large courtyard.

Entering Ruby’s home, Thor saw Ruby’s wife and children.

She was a well-refined middle-aged woman, possessing noble poise, and was a direct offspring of the Pat Family, the third daughter of the current Marquis Pat.

Her children were two boys, one seventeen, the other sixteen.

Named Sol Dressrosa and Koby Dressrosa, respectively.

Both boys were extremely courteous.

And they seemed to be very familiar with Morris.

Seeing Morris arrive, they couldn’t help but smile.

Towards Thor, they had an air of curiosity, mixed with respect.

Looking at these young lads not much younger than him, Thor took out two wooden boxes he retrieved earlier to present to them.

"Thank you, Uncle Thor!"

Both expressed their gratitude.

"Thor, you’re too kind!"

Ruby chuckled, shaking his head, then drew Thor with him into the banquet.

A grand banquet was held.

The brothers conversed with each other.

Thor was very curious about his cousin, and Ruby, in turn, was quite curious about Thor.

"Thor, my goddess, you’re simply incredible."

"The Northern Province truly is a magical place."

"Indeed, it’s magical!"

"There are countless opportunities there."

...

During the banquet, the three conversed.

For a moment, they were all extremely delighted.

The banquet concluded.

Everyone stayed at Ruby’s house.

However, compared to their joy.

Things on the other side weren’t as cheerful.

"I truly apologize, but young master Amor’s arm muscles are almost entirely frostbitten; even Intermediate Life Potion cannot fully heal it unless there’s a High-Level Life Potion...."

A figure spoke respectfully, his expression filled with hesitation, and at this moment, he couldn’t help but become anxious.

Such news is never good, and he feared the possible repercussions on himself.

"This!"

Upon hearing his words, Deguli’s expression drastically changed.

If even Intermediate Life Potion couldn’t restore it, it meant Amor’s right hand was nearly crippled.

Deguli’s expression shifted, while Amor, lying on the bed, turned pale as soon as he heard these words.

"Uncle Deguli, are we just going to let this go?"

"This is my right hand; what will I do in the future?"

After his pallor, Amor asked with anger.

Such an outcome was almost unacceptable for him.

And it filled him with dread.

Even for a Great Knight, an arm is extremely important.
