Jake furrowed his brows as he heard the knight, he was already angry after watching her mother bleed, this time instead he replied to the knight with a mischevious smile, "What if I don't? What can you do to me? Mind you, your lord doesn't own this land . So piss off already with those bunch of thugs . "

Behind his smile, there was a good scheme going on how to bait the knight as he pretty much understood the mindset of these knights who were full of pride and honor as he intentionally and provocatively said the last words .

The knight was quite angry as he had never seen a slave talking back to him in such a way, he felt incredibly humiliated . Jake's baiting worked as the Knight roared and dashed towards Jake with his sword without asking anyone's permission as it was implicitly implied that slaves never had any legal rights even if they died and most of the time, the matter could be solved by paying their initial costs,

The knight Roared loudly, "You surely have quite a vicious tongue as you managed to anger me . I hope you are as good as your tongue in combat . "

Jake grinned and continued to provoke him, "I am sure you have the same skills when it comes to combat . "

One of the knights said as he saw this scene, "That kid is a goner, he is only a slave or does he really think he has any rights? Marcus will try to torture and kill him slowly . Even if his lord comes and begs to spare his worthless life, this kid will most likely be killed or disabled for the rest of his life . "

Another knight laughed and said, "Are you kidding me, do you really think any lord would stake his reputation and humiliate himself for sparing a mere slave it would have been a different case it if was a valuable knight or magician . And as for the fate of this kid, he most likely would die by his sword in the next clash if Marcus is merciful . If not, like you previously said, he would die a torturous and painful death . However, the biggest thing is that the Lord of this domain will anyway be humiliated now that the situated has risen to these levels . "

One of the knights noticed a peculiarity and said to others, "Hey, don't you guys think that the guys who protected the women over there are quite calm right now compared to the situation previously . "

Another knight smiled as grinned and said, "Maybe they think just because this kid trained a bit, he can fight with the personal knights of Lord Evan . Marcus is one of the knights from Lord Fjord's knight order who later followed Lord Evan on the orders of Lord so that he could be protected at all times . I have some news which you guys don't know about, from the rumors I heard that Marcus is a Magic Knight who has been hiding his true strength all the time since two years ago . If those guys have something up their sleeve then they are in for a surprise . "

Jay watched the scene as he smiled as he had already known of Jake's success in his last mission . However, he was still very alert when it came to the protection of Martha and the movements of those knights .

At the mansion,

One of Dearil's men came and reported to Taylor, "I urgently want to meet Lord John in person . This matter is of great urgency . I hope I can meet the Lord at earliest . "

Taylor saw the urgency in man's tone as he replied to him in a serious tone, "Okay, wait here for a minute I will inform Lord immediately . "

Chapter 82

Taylor entered John's room as he received his permission . Taylor approached John and said to him, "Lord, I think there is a situation where we would need your advice, One of Mr . Dearil's men have come to report about the situation at Hope . He has said if any of the nobles knights make a move on Jake collectively then they will protect Jake without any hesitation however he wanted your confirmation on whether to keep those knights alive or not .
