AGMATSWHLMAR Chapter 22
by VolareUpon seeing his younger brother mentally attacked to the point of vomiting blood, the eldest son of the Fedia family’s expression drastically changed, and he flew into a rage. He was about to roar and ask who had done it: “Who…”
“It was me.”
He whirled around, only to see Auston’s wheelchair had somehow arrived behind him. The royal family’s notorious mad dog, Duke Auston, was staring at him with those cold, sinister eyes.
A look of utter astonishment appeared in the eldest son of the Fedia family’s eyes: “Duk…Duke Auston…”
Even as the heir to the Fedia Dukedom, he wouldn’t dare to show the slightest disrespect to Auston.
Auston, however, completely ignored him. With a gloomy face, he wheeled himself over to Owen.
Owen suddenly felt as though he had been targeted by a venomous snake. He trembled involuntarily and squeezed out the words from his throat with immense fear: “Au…Au…”
His fear was absolute.
No one could have imagined that the royal family’s mad dog, who never enjoyed such occasions, would appear here.
The nobles present weren’t afraid of Ruan Tang, but none of them were unafraid of Auston. He was a complete mad dog who would bite anyone he caught, regardless of whether they were noble or held a high position.
Upon realizing his presence, the entire venue fell silent.
Apart from the sound of breathing, not a single sound could be heard.
Ruan Tang hadn’t expected Auston to come either. Recalling how he had just used the Duke’s wife title to bluff, he felt a bit embarrassed, wondering what this madman would think of him.
Although Auston was sitting in a wheelchair, his presence was more powerful than anyone standing there. He coldly watched the vomiting Owen and directly raised his hand, sending him flying!
The bar behind Owen was also knocked over by his flying body!
A series of “crashing” sounds rang out.
The sound of countless wine glasses shattering made everyone tremble involuntarily with fear.
Auston had launched a high-level mental attack on Owen, an Alpha, without any warning. It was an Alpha’s mental suppression of a lower-level Alpha. Although he was a madman, his genes were there. He was a madman with a mental strength of 3S+, while Owen was a useless,A playboy with a C-grade mental strength.
As soon as his mental pressure was released, Owen immediately grimaced in pain, his face twisted, and was suppressed to the point of collapsing on the ground, unable to even stand.
Everyone was confused and wondered how Owen had provoked this madman.
“…Your Excellency Auston, what are you doing?” The eldest son of the Fedia family’s face stiffened upon seeing his younger brother humiliated.
“What did you just say? Say it again?” Auston ignored him, wheeled himself closer to Owen again, enjoying the sight of Owen’s twisted, painful expression. He looked down on him condescendingly and suddenly spoke.
Owen, under the mental suppression, was in so much pain that his eyes were bloodshot. He had no idea how he had offended this duke. He wanted to repeat his previous words, but fear suppressed him, and he couldn’t say anything: “I…I…”
Auston was too crazy. No one thought he cared about face, and no one thought he was standing up for Ruan Tang…
Looking at Owen’s painful, sweat-covered forehead, everyone who had been enjoying the show unconsciously held their breath.
They were afraid that Auston would have an episode and kill someone on the spot… Although Auston was a madman, he was also one of the top mental power users in the entire Empire.
If he wanted to kill someone, they wouldn’t be able to escape…
If they were killed by the royal family’s madman, they would have nowhere to complain.
Seeing the situation heading towards murder, Ruan Tang was afraid that Auston would lose control and cause trouble. After all, they were now husband and wife, for better or for worse…
Although he had only planned to live in peace with Auston, treating each other with distant respect, their recent interactions had been good. Ruan Tang didn’t want him to cause trouble. He immediately stepped forward, walked to Auston’s wheelchair, and thought about how to stop him: “Your Excellency…”
People’s greed is often cultivated by indulgence. Ruan Tang had initially only wanted to survive under Auston’s roof, but with Auston’s indulgence, he had gradually developed the intention to influence and change Auston.
The nobles of Imperial Star were all terrified of Auston. Seeing Owen being tortured for no reason, no one dared to speak up. Seeing Ruan Tang daring to step forward and talk to Auston during his episode, they all looked at him with astonishment. They didn’t see him as a hero but as an idiot.
They were all waiting for Auston to vent his anger and madness on Ruan Tang.
After all, this was a crazy person without logic or reason… Who could reason with a madman?
They were all waiting to see how the overconfident Ruan Tang would die…
“What’s wrong? Why does your face look so bad? Did they bully you?” Contrary to expectations, as soon as Ruan Tang approached, Auston’s attitude made a complete 180-degree turn. He gently took Ruan Tang’s hand and asked softly, “Don’t worry, I’ll get revenge for you!”
He was cautious, as if afraid of scaring Ruan Tang.
Ruan Tang was stunned: “…”
And clearly, Ruan Tang wasn’t the only one stunned. Everyone present was dumbfounded by the madman’s behavior.
After the shock, they belatedly realized that Auston’s sudden attack on Owen. Fedia was actually for Ruan Tang’s sake.
Thinking of this, their gazes towards Ruan Tang changed instantly.
Who was saying that Ruan Tang wasn’t favored at all in the Duke Auston’s manor, that he was just a breeding tool, that he was abused every day, and that he had just recovered from his injuries to come out and meet people?
This was clearly Auston being tamed into submission, loved and cherished.
Owen had just shouted that Auston would never stand up for Ruan Tang, and Auston stood up for Ruan Tang. It was simply a slap in the face.
And bullying Ruan Tang, who was bullying Ruan Tang?
Although it was true that Owen had provoked Ruan Tang first, Ruan Tang was not only not bullied but had also turned around and beaten Owen. He truly deserved to be called a black-hearted lotus, but no one dared to say this in front of Duke Auston, who wholeheartedly thought his wife was a pitiful little cabbage…
“Who was laughing just now? Who bullied my wife? Who was it?” Auston was completely unaware of their thoughts. He coldly scanned the crowd, his tone completely different from when he spoke to Ruan Tang.
He seemed ready to kill at any moment.
He remembered that when Owen insulted Ruan Tang, no one stood up to help Ruan Tang, and some were even laughing. They were all bullying Ruan Tang.
The people who had been laughing and watching the show were all trembling with fear, not daring to even breathe, afraid that Auston would have an online breakdown.
Seeing that no one spoke, Auston looked contemptuously at Owen, who was already trembling all over from the mental suppression, and without saying a word, he was about to launch a full-scale mental suppression, mentally suppressing everyone who had laughed at Ruan Tang.
As soon as his pressure appeared, the others sensed the pain, and their expressions changed immediately.
“Enough.” Seeing that something was wrong, Ruan Tang immediately grabbed Auston and whispered in his ear, “Your Excellency, Imperial Star’s laws stipulate that high-level mental power users are prohibited from launching mental pressure in public.”
He didn’t expect Auston to stand up for him, but he only wanted to get an explanation from the foul-mouthed Owen. He didn’t want to escalate the matter further…
Launching mental suppression on these nobles in Imperial Star, no matter how high your position, was a great humiliation.
Although these people were cold and indifferent, they hadn’t done anything too excessive. There were already enough people in Imperial Star who hated Auston. Ruan Tang didn’t want Auston to offend more people because of him.
Auston looked at Ruan Tang deeply and immediately obediently withdrew his mental pressure on everyone. He said coldly, “Apologize. Everyone who bullied my wife and made him unhappy must apologize to him!”
He knew these people’s faces too well. Ruan Tang was too soft-hearted…
After marrying him, Ruan Tang could be bullied like this. He didn’t know how much bullying he had suffered from these people before.
Even though Ruan Tang had just shown his fierce side, in Auston’s eyes, Ruan Tang was still a completely bullied little white cabbage.
As soon as Auston said this, everyone became apprehensive, completely unaware that Ruan Tang’s position in the Bluebeard Duke’s heart had reached such a level.
Even if they felt they hadn’t done anything, they had to succumb to Auston’s power.
“I’m sorry, Xiao Tang, it’s all my fault. I knew that you and Young Master Fedia had a bad relationship. I shouldn’t have sent him an invitation to a place where you were. It was my poor organization that failed to stop him from attacking you. Please forgive me…” Countess Wengers, the host of the banquet, was the quickest to react. She immediately found a reason to apologize to Ruan Tang.
With her taking the lead, under Auston’s pressure, the other nobles who had been watching the show also found excuses to apologize to Ruan Tang: “I’m sorry, I’m an Omega. I didn’t dare to stop Owen. Fedia when he was like that, but I know that I was condoning a crime…”
“I’m sorry…”
“I’m sorry…”
Because of Auston’s strength, everyone who had been laughing and watching the show apologized to Ruan Tang in a flustered manner.
Having mingled in Imperial Star’s noble circle for so many years, Ruan Tang was receiving such attention for the first time, but he also knew that he was benefiting from Auston’s notoriety.
He was never one who liked to flaunt his power, so he had no intention of embarrassing others. Regardless of whether the apologies were sincere or not, he immediately responded softly, “It’s okay, it’s all small matters.”
It’s better to resolve conflicts than to create them. He never wanted to make enemies with people.
“I’m sorry, Madam, it was me who ruined the atmosphere of this banquet and disturbed everyone’s enjoyment.” Ruan Tang finally looked at Countess Wengers and said this.
The Countess quickly forced a smile and said, “How can this be your fault? You are the victim. We must visit each other more often in the future.”
