In the Name of Empress-Chapter 234 - 176: Val City Won’t Allow Such an Overpowered Person
If it weren’t for his desire to maintain his tall and mighty image, he wouldn’t have been so miserably trapped.
Camille’s fall left the surrounding crowd in a daze.
Roland reminded himself in secret.
Acting cool has risks; showing off requires caution.
Being low-key doesn’t hurt.
If you love flaunting in front of people, Mr. Camille is your outcome.
The elite warriors of the Vladimir Empire hurriedly lifted their unlucky leader, tossed out a few harsh words, and ran off.
Their harsh words, although loud, only elicited uproarious laughter from the bystanders.
As everyone knows, a bear roaring at a tiger is a threat; a dog roaring at a tiger is powerless rage.
The leader was slapped by Roland until he spat blood and was carried away; the tough talk from these small fries only made it a joke.
Mr. Roland’s lack of pursuit only highlighted the composure and magnanimity of a master.
In any case, Camille’s status in people’s minds shifted from [the terrifying bear from the Land of the Frost] to a complete fool and clown.
Unless he can personally kill Roland, he might have a chance to regain face.
But before the challenge, he must overcome his inner demons and endure Empress Sofia’s wrathful punishment.
Fools who display such public disgrace rarely get another opportunity and will likely spend their life wailing in the Jidong’s bitter cold.
The Continental Agreement ended ahead of schedule, restoring neutrality among continental nations.
Everyone being neutral means everyone is not neutral; it’s akin to everyone being on the brink of hostility. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Val City is the frontline for open and covert struggles among nations.
All countries sent elites to be stationed there, aiming to suppress other nations’ arrogance, boost their own prestige, and strive for public opinion advantage.
Although Roland is not the representative of Sussex in Val City, given his high position in Sussex, his brilliant performance will naturally be credited to his country.
The spectators dispersed after the conflict ended.
Though they left, the long street standoff would definitely be their go-to story for bragging tonight.
In an unnoticed corner, Lisa stuck out her tongue at Roland, a look of triumph in her eyes.
Seeing Sister Lisa’s confident demeanor, Roland couldn’t help but smile.
A few months ago, beneath Sister Lisa’s mature and suave exterior, there were also moments of such playfulness.
But after Sif’s arrival, Lisa became increasingly timid and even slightly cowed.
Such a lowly mindset is definitely unacceptable.
The road of the strong requires the mindset of the strong.
Roland brought her out partly to let her relax, and the results turned out incredibly well.
Lisa’s foot causing Camille to fall was simply a divine kick.
Such actions would be embarrassing for Roland, but no problem at all for Lisa.
After all, she looks like a delicate girl.
Compared to the bear-like majestic Camille, she appears as the weaker party.
The tender girl’s boot was stomped hard by the bear, yet the bear fell; everyone thought it was the bear’s fault.
Not only is there a problem, but it’s also huge.
This staged collapse essentially announced Camille’s downfall.
Even if he’s not sentenced to death by Sofia, he surely won’t be fit for important positions.
It’s unknown who will replace Camille.
Will it be the secluded Angelina upgrading, or another from the Shadow Sanctuary?
Roland was a bit curious.
As for the failed Camille? Roland couldn’t be bothered to spare him another glance.
This failure would completely destroy Camille’s already unstable mindset.
His combat effectiveness is automatically reduced facing Roland.
By the time he recovers, Roland will have long been speeding down the road of becoming stronger, unreachable for Camille.
Watching the people leave, Christine looked at Roland with a complicated expression and slowly said:
"Knight of Light, are you interested in seeing our new Holy Hall?"
Us?
The word made both Christine and Roland feel a strange sensation.
On the Rodinia River, they were still scheming foes, almost coming to blows; even signing a treaty was a humiliating and unequal one.
They were once enemies.
But now they were, at least in religious terms, in the same camp.
Roland smiled and nodded, "Miss Saintess, please lead the way."
