Chapter 490 Visiting nobles (6)

After arriving, it took no time at all for Viscount Teomold to come find us and we gathered in the same living room as before.

Before we even sat down, Viscount Teomold quickly bowed his head and said, "Count Zwein, I must apologize for what happened in my territory."

I was surprised to see that he would apologize so easily, but then again, this was someone who was shameless and spineless…It shouldn't be strange that he would apologize as soon as he saw me.

In fact, it would be strange if he didn't.

I just gave a nod before asking, "What happened afterwards."

Viscount Teomold couldn't help jolting when he heard this.

He knew that I wasn't accepting his apology yet.

The fact that I was asking about this made it clear that I wanted to see how he would handle this. Only after seeing what he said would there be a chance that I would accept this.

So he took a deep breath and said, "We have already captured the ones that threatened your lordship and will ensure that this never happens again. As for the woman that was bothered, we have already made the proper arrangements for her."

I slightly knitted my brows when I heard this.

After all, not in a single word did I hear his intentions to punish the rogues that had caused this mess.

It was clear that he was planning on letting this matter go, sweeping it under the rug in a manner of speaking.

However, I didn't have the same idea.

I might have agreed if the leader of the rogues hadn't looked at me that way, but since he was hostile towards me, I would be a fool to let him go.

Viscount Teomold saw that I wasn't saying anything, so he slowly and cautiously looked at my face, as if he was trying to gauge my reaction.

But I suddenly said, "What about their punishment?"

He couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this.

It was clear that he never expected me to suddenly ask this.

Slowly, Viscount Teomold said, "Is there a need for a punishment? This was nothing more than a minor incident and I feel like we can probably just drop…"

Before he could finish, I suddenly looked at him with a cold glare that made Viscount Teomold's words peter out.

He just looked back at me with his mouth slightly agape as I said, "So threatening the life of a noble is only a small matter to you?"

Viscount Teomold immediately revealed an ugly expression when he heard this.

He opened and closed his mouth a few times as if he wanted to say something, but it didn't seem like he was able to find the words he wanted to say. In the end, he slowly said, "Your lordship, I don't think…that this was the case."

I gave a snort before saying, "Then I guess that your eyes aren't as good as it seems." Without even giving him time to say anything else, I said, "I expect them to be executed for this crime and nothing less."

Viscount Teomold's chin couldn't help dropping when he heard this.

He looked at me in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that I would be this forceful regarding this matter.

After a long silence, Viscount Teomold said, "Your lordship, is there really a need for this? These three…are members of the Adventurer Guild. If I were to execute them…"

He didn't try to hide it or beat around the bush this time, he directly stated why he was unwilling to execute them.

But this didn't matter to me at all as I said, "And what does that have to do with me? They threatened my life, so they deserve death. That is that."

Viscount Teomold's expression turned even uglier when he heard this.

After all, he really never expected me to be this forceful.

Seeing that he was hesitating, I said, "If this is your sincerity, then I guess there's no need for us to talk about cooperating."

As soon as my voice fell, I made to stand up and leave.

There had been a shocked look on Viscount Teomold's face, but he didn't have time to be shocked when he saw me leave.

He quickly came forward and said, "Your lordship, there's no need to act this way. I'll make sure that they are punished for their crimes. I'll make sure that they are executed."

I stopped moving and looked right at Viscount Teomold.

When he saw my gaze looking right at him, he couldn't help shaking a bit and turning his gaze away slightly as if he was afraid to match my gaze.

After looking at him like this for a bit, I suddenly said, "I expect them to be executed before I leave in two days. If they aren't, then there's no need to discuss our cooperation anymore."

Viscount Teomold once again looked at me in shock and disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that I would be this decisive with my words.

He opened and closed his mouth several times like he wanted to say something, but he just couldn't say what he wanted to say when he saw the look in my eyes.

The look I gave him was firm and cold, as if I would broker no argument.

The expression on his face changed several times during all of this before he finally said with a defeated look, "I will make sure that it happens."

I suddenly revealed a smile when I heard this and said, "It seems that you do have your sincerity. Then I look forward to working with you."

Viscount Teomold looked like he was exhausted, but he forced a smile out onto his face when he heard this.

In a tired voice he said, "Of course, I look forward to working with you as well, Count Zwein."
