Chapter 685: Chapter 489: Hero, Don’t Be Too Arrogant (Thanks to Professional Critic for the 10000 Coin Tip)

In the Noble Class, there are many fools.

But, without a doubt, Viscount Bo’er was absolutely one of the most foolish among them.

The upper echelons of the Noble Class naturally knew how risky it was to rashly contact Qin Chu the Hero; should Wozworth find out, it would surely lead to another bloody purge.

However, they had no choice.

Wozworth had grown increasingly mad, and the Noble Class’s space for survival was becoming narrower and narrower.

To do nothing was to die.

To take a risk was to have a glimmer of hope.

Contacting Hero indeed was a crucial task, but why were no other nobles willing to come forward? Because those nobles clearly understood that this task was too risky for too little gain, especially when the relationship between the Hero and Wozworth was quite good; one careless move and they would not even know how they died.

If the Hero simply, without a word, handed people over to Wozworth, that would spell total doom.

Others might still find excuses, but the nobles who directly sought to negotiate with the Hero would have not a sliver of room to argue; death was certain.

Viscount Bo’er was willing to step up, and the other nobles naturally had no objections.

Of course, before coming, someone had meticulously instructed Viscount Bo’er on what to say; there must not be any disrespect, whether facing the Hero or the women by his side, to avoid causing the Hero’s displeasure.

Sadly, Viscount Bo’er clearly did not take it to heart.

The pride of being a noble had become a habit and instinct engraved in his bones.

A mere group of women without any titles, what right did they have to participate in the conversation between himself and the Hero? Although Antasia’s status was peculiar, she was only a princess from the far barbaric north, a princess whom even he, a mere Viscount, disdained.

He felt that as a Hero, one must understand certain rules and courtesies.

At such times, one should take the initiative to send away all these inconvenient women.

Indeed, people from the Different World, truly lacked elegance. That he even had to remind them of such things.

Unfortunately, Viscount Bo’er had not noticed that Qin Chu’s eyebrows were already tightly furrowed... how did that saying go? The more incompetent the trash, the more they liked to show off their claws and teeth.

Even if it were the Duke, Grand Duke, Emperor, or Pope, none would dare flaunt themselves in front of Qin Chu.

Yet a mere Viscount dared to bluster and flaunt himself.

"Viscount Bo’er, I have other matters to deal with, and no time to delay here," Qin Chu said coldly.

This frosty attitude took Bo’er aback, seemingly unexpected that Qin Chu would disregard his face to such an extent, stirring a surge of anger within him.

However, though Bo’er was foolish, he hadn’t completely lost his reason and knew that the Hero was not to be offended lightly. Swallowing his anger, his tone was no longer as polite as before, "Mr. Brave, this is a very important matter. I hope you can..."

He hadn’t finished his statement when Qin Chu interrupted, "It’s just about using me to deal with Wozworth, right?"

What?

Viscount Bo’er was startled by Qin Chu’s words; he hadn’t even begun speaking his part yet, how could this guy know?

However, now that Qin Chu was aware, that made things simpler.

"You are right, Mr. Brave. Nowadays the Emperor’s tyranny leaves the people destitute. As a Hero, you are naturally expected to take on the responsibility of restoring peace to the Empire, so you are obliged to step forward..."

Qin Chu’s expression quickly darkened: "Viscount Bo’er, go back and tell your people that the conflict between you and Wozworth is your affair. It has absolutely nothing to do with me. Understand?"

Viscount Bo’er’s face instantly soured, his thick lips even beginning to tremble, "You... what did you say? You are the Hero, how could you..."

"The Hero’s task is to combat demons," Qin Chu smirked. "Human conflicts are not within the responsibilities of a Hero."

This guy really didn’t have a clue.

When asking for help, shouldn’t you first state what you can offer, what price you can pay, what benefits you can provide?

This guy, however, came straight with ’you have an obligation, a responsibility’... What bloody obligation?

You think I’m going to work for free? Do you really think I’m as foolish as I was in my first life?

Bo’er’s expression grew increasingly ferocious, feeling an anger akin to betrayal... He had thought this task would be a breeze, hardly troublesome.

He even considered this not as a negotiation but as a notification; those other nobles were just thinking too much.

He just needed to come over and speak to Qin Chu.

Who could have anticipated such an outcome? It wasn’t just about agreeing with him; he didn’t even let him finish a sentence.

The pride of being a Viscount made Bo’er unable to endure this humiliation. His eyes turned a deep red, "Mr. Brave... do not be too arrogant."

"Don’t forget, although you are a Hero, you are ultimately just a foreigner from the Different World. Your status as a Hero depends on the recognition of many of us nobles. We acknowledge you as a Hero, and so you are one. If we don’t, then you are nothing..."

"Once you lose the title of Hero, do you think you can still live as freely as you do now? Will these women still stay by your side? Will the Holy Court still allow you to be..."

As he spoke, the eyes of the five women behind him already began to show a hint of murderous intent. At this point, perhaps a slight nod from Qin Chu would have someone directly break Viscount Bo’er’s neck.
