254 Those were wise words indeed.
“Do you recognize him, ‘Lady’ Candice?”
Nux questioned as he turned towards Candice.
However, before she could even answer, Nux’s eyes fell on Oswald and his two friends and he questioned,
“Surely you three recognize him, right?”
Oswald and his friends quickly averted his gaze, not answering his questions.
Candice frowned, she felt like she has seen this boy somewhere, however, she could not remember where.
“Hmmm, it seems that you have forgotten about this boy, let me help you remember, ‘Lady’ Candice.
9 days ago, Oswald and his friends joined their hands together and surrounded this boy. Then, they attacked him ruthlessly and took his Healing Potion.
‘Lady’ Candice saw that as well. Right?”
Candice started recalling,
“Ye-” She wanted to answer, however, someone else nodded faster than her.
“Yes, I remember it! It happened a few days ago!” Manya nodded her head.
“Ahh, it seems that you remember, that’s a good thing, what about you, ‘Lady’ Candice? You remember it as well, do you not?”
Candice narrowed her eyes and nodded,
“I do. However, I do not understand why are you bringing that topic today.”
Nux just smiled,
“I happened to be there that day as well, and it was only that day that I learned a life-changing lesson that came from no one else but ‘Lady’ Candice.”
Candice frowned, for some reason, she did not like that smile on Nux’s face.
“In this world, the weak have no right to say or complain about anything, whereas the strong can do whatever they wanted and no one would say anything to them.
This is what you taught me that day, ‘Lady’ Candice.
You said that weak should not complain about anything, rather, they should go stronger and rely on themselves,”
“Yes, I remember that lesson as well, I have memorized it by heart.” Manya nodded as well.
She respected Candice a lot, her every word was like a law to her.
“Indeed, I was there as well.” Another person spoke up and seeing that, more and more students spoke up. They didn’t want to miss the opportunity to impress Lady Candice after all.
“Yes, I was there.”
“Mhm, it was indeed what Lady Candice taught us.”
“True True.”
“Those were wise words indeed.”
The students continued to nod and hearing their words, a big smile appeared on Nux’s face.
“‘Lady’ Candice, I was only following your words when I did what I did to these 3 boys.”
“Huh? What do you mean?” Candice frowned.
“These 3 ‘weak’ students dared to block my, someone who is stronger than them, path. Of course, not only that, they even dared to shout at me in return, the audacity.
I had to punish them.
They needed to be taught, they needed to know that they are weak. They shouldn’t stand against strong, therefore, I beat them up.
I did a good job, did I not, ‘Lady’ Candice?”
Nux questioned with a smile and then, the crowd turned silent.
This man’s words…
Why do they sound so logical?
He was stronger, so doesn’t that make him right?
Why was Lady Candice here then?
Noticing the students’ reaction, Candice frowned and then, her anger exploded.
“Huh!? You fought against Beginner Stage Cultivators when you yourself are an Advance Stage Cultivator!
In what world is that fair!?”
‘Tsk Tsk, what an ameture.’
Nux couldn’t help but snort inwardly when he heard Candice’s response.
“Hmm? ‘Lady’ Candice, this boy is just at Apprentice Stage…
3 Beginner Stage Cultivators attacked him together…
In what world is that fair?”
“…”
Candice turned silent.
“…”
Not only her, but even the students also turned silent.
“Royce is just an 8-year-old boy and he was attacked by three 15-year-old boys who were stronger than him,
In what world is that fair?
Rather, isn’t me, an 18-year boy attacking three 15-year-old boys fairer?
Don’t you think so, ‘Lady’ Candice?”
Nux smiled.
“No. You were wrong!” Candice didn’t step back.
“Oh? How so?” Nux questioned.
“These three are from Earl’s House, as for this boy, he is from a Viscount House, which means, this boy is their subordinate and every Master has the right to hit his subordinates.
Also, no subordinate has any right to question his superior’s decision.”
Nux’s smile widened and then he questioned,
“Then ‘Lady’ Candice, how did you question Teacher Evane’s decision?”
“Huh?” Candice frowned.
“Although Teacher Evane’s polite, caring and respectful attitude doesn’t show it, in the end, she is the princess of the Skyfall Kingdom, the Daughter of the King.
Then how did you, a daughter of a ‘mere’ Marquee dare to question her decision? Not only that, you even dared to slander her?
Who gave you the galls to do that?”
“Huh!? Do you not know who Lady Candice is!? She is th-” Myrill wanted to retort, however, Nux suddenly disappeared from where he was standing and appeared near Myrill.
*Bam*
Then he grabbed his head and smashed it on the ground.
“The weak should remain silent.
They have no right to speak.”
Nux muttered in a cold voice as he stood up and stepped on Myrill’s head.
Then, his eyes turned towards Candice and he questioned,
“I will ask you again,
Who gave you the galls to go against the Princess of the Kingdom, you bitch?”
Candice’s body trembled when she heard Nux’s words. However, she wasn’t trembling because she was angry, she was trembling because,
Nux’s eyes…
They looked scary…
“A commoner talking with a daughter of a Marquee in this tone, let me ask you,
You gave you the galls to do that, filthy commoner?”
Suddenly, a student who was standing beside Candice stepped up and spoke with a disdainful look on his face.
Nux glanced at his face and recognized him.
He was Candice’s lackey and a Master Stage Cultivator.
As he had portrayed himself right now, Nux cannot win against him, neither in status nor in power, however, that didn’t mean that he was helpless.
He had prepared for this day for a long time now.
“Heeh? A son of a ‘mere’ Earl is talking about status, that’s funny.”
A small smile appeared on Nux’s face when he heard an unfamiliar voice.
‘They are here huh… took them a fucking long time…’
