Chapter 320
“Now, can you converse with me civilly?”
Gavin’s voice dripped with icy detachment, and his eyes brimmed with a profound sense of disdain.
The King of Northguard, gasping for breath as his life was squeezed away, cast a horrified gaze upon
Gavin. In that desperate moment, a fiery determination zed within his heart.
‘This Gavin was truly infuriating. He had the audacity to treat me this way, causing chaos and even
taking lives within his Northguard Imperial Residence. I, the esteemed King of Northguard, was now
being manipted by this upstart. If news of this were to spread, wouldn’t it subject my reputation in
Blearus to ridicule? No matter how much I pondered it, I hadn’t anticipated that this young man would
possess such strength, far surpassing my own. If I continue to resist like this, am I doomed to meet my
end within my own Northguard Imperial Residence? And wouldn’t that lead to a seamless transfer of
my territory to another ruler?’
The King of Northguard contemted for a lengthy moment, his gaze towards Gavin turning fiercely
determined. With no other option, he uttered.
“Yes… Yes…”
Gavin gazed at the flushed countenance of the King of Northguard held in his grasp and spoke with
calmposure.
“Very well.”
In an instant, he clutched the King of Northguard’s throat, and they both vanished. into thin air.
The Northguard Army stared in astonishment at King of Northguard, who had just been choked by
Gavin within the confines of King of Northguard’s Mansion. In the blink of an eye, both of them
vanished from their view.
This group of people looked around in a panic, and chaos erupted in an instant. ‘Gavin should have
known where to take the King of Northguard, but his sudden disappearance left us puzzled. The
pressing question on their minds was, what should they do next? The safety of the Lord of the North
was undoubtedly at risk. Could Gavin have taken his life? The Northguard Imperial Residence couldn’t
afford to be without a leader for even a day!’
Fearful and uncertain, the soldiers of the Northguard Army scanned their surroundings anxiously.
Beads of sweat formed on their foreheads, a testament to the growing tension and apprehension that
gripped them.
After an indeterminate span of time.
Suddenly, the voice of the King of Northguard echoed from the Northguard Imperial Residence.
“All soldiers of the Northguard Army, pay heed!
“Immediatelymence a search throughout my domain for these twodies and ensure their safety.
Report any findings directly to the Imperial Residence without dy!”
The entire Northguard Army was taken aback upon hearing themanding voice of the King of
Northguard!
It was the voice of the King of Northguard!
The relief washed over them, ‘he was still alive, and as long as he lived, hope endured!’
Subsequently, news of the two women, Zoe and La, quickly disseminated throughout the entire
Northguard Army.
The Northguard Army found themselves in a state of bewilderment, utterly perplexed by the unfolding
events, with no clear understanding of the situation. In this moment of uncertainty, the furious roar of
the King of Northguard reverberated once more.
“What are you waiting for? Move quickly!”
The Northguard Army was utterly astonished. With a resounding thud, they all knelt before the King of
Northguard and shouted in unison.
“Yes, Your Highness!”
Within the Northguard Imperial Residence, Gavin upied the throne that once belonged to the King
of Northguard.
The King of Northguard himself had been reduced to a mere subordinate. He stood alongside Gavin,
serving him obediently.
Gavin cast a brief nce at the coffee in his cup and then turned his gaze toward the King of
Northguard standing beside him. Although no words were spoken, King of Northguard grasped the
unspoken message. He directed his attention to the servants in the mansion and shouted.
“Hurry and prepare a pot of coffee. You’ve already brewed the Blue Mountain cat poop coffee that I’ve
cherished for so long,” he ordered.
The individuals below dared not raise their gaze and promptly scurried out of the
room.
The King of Northguard then turned to Gavin, sporting a smile, and remarked. “The servants seem to
be unfamiliar with the protocols. Please pardon their oversight.
“I will certainly ensure they receive proper discipline in the days toe.”
Upon hearing the King of Northguard’s words, Gavin didn’t even bother to nce in his direction. He
casually propped his legs up on the table and closed his eyes, disying an air of indifference.
“The weather has taken a turntely, and my legs aren’t as spry as usual,” he remarked casually,
offering an exnation for his rxed posture.
The King of Northguard cast a troubled gaze at Gavin’s feet resting on the table. His face turned
crimson with frustration as he red at Gavin.
‘This is utterly infuriating! Does this kid seriously expect me to massage his legs? Is this an insinuation
that I, the powerful King of Northguard, should be the servant of this ignorant youngster?’
In this moment, Gavin detected no signs of any imminent action or movement. Therefore, he opened
his eyes and directed his gaze toward the King of
Northguard, who stood nearby.
The King of Northguard noticed Gavin’s furrowed brow as he directed his gaze at him.
‘Yet, considering that I am a guest under someone else’s roof, how could I not show some deference
and humility? Whoever asks an old man likes me to feel so feeble in this situation?’
In response, the King of Northguard wore a smile and gently ced his hand on Gavin’s leg. He then
spoke.
“Furthermore, I’ve never massaged anyone’s legs before. If my technique isn’t up to par, please bear
with it. Be patient,” he remarked, disying a willingness toply with Gavin’s expectations.
This is from N?velDrama.Org.
“Never mind.”
Hence, the King of Northguard, sporting a concerned expression, began massaging Gavin’s legs.
Gavin, in response, merely nced at the King of Northguard and closed his eyes once more, reveling
in the moment.
After some time had passed, Gavin stretched his arms and arched his back, presumably to alleviate
any tension or difort.
Promptly, the King of Northguard transitioned to massaging Gavin’s shoulders and back, as if eager to
provide further rxation andfort.
At this moment, a servant entered the room, carrying a tray with a pot of Blue Mountain cat poop
coffee.
“Your Highness, the coffee is ready,” the servant announced respectfully.
The King of Northguard gestured to the servant with a wave of his hand, signaling for the servant to
depart.
He nced at Gavin, who was reclining with his eyes shut, and released a prolonged sigh. Employing
the same method his servants typically used to prepare coffee for him, he looked back at Gavin and
said with a smile,
“Give this coffee a taste. What are your thoughts?”
Gavin opened his eyes and detected a subtle aroma of coffee wafting through the air. It was evident
that this coffee had been meticulously brewed.
The King of Northguard observed Gavin with a smile. Just as he was about to take a seat beside him,
Gavin gave him a significant look.
Gavin cast a nce at the coffee on the table and then back at the King of
Northguard.
The King of Northguard felt his anger surge. ‘Gavin is proving to be nothing more than an ungrateful
individual. Does he seriously expect me to feed him coffee? I had never made such a request of my
servants before. At most, they would prepare coffee, but never had they been subjected to such a
demeaning task. At most, we would go to great lengths to fight with him, even to the point of risking our
lives.’
In this moment, the King of Northguard’s anger surged, gradually intensifying. Gavin could clearly
discern the anger etched on the King of Northguard’s countenance. Nevertheless, he remained
unperturbed, as the King of Northguard had brought this upon himself.
‘People must face the consequences of their actions, don’t they?’ Gavin thought calmly.
Gavin nced at the coffee on the table and spoke in aposed manner. “King of Northguard’s
coffee-making skills are quite impressive. I’m curious if this coffee is delightful.
“If I were to handle it myself, you wouldn’t have the privilege of sitting here. “What do you think? The
King of Northguard.”
Certainly, the King of Northguardprehended the underlying message in Gavin’s words. It wasn’t
solely about coffee; Gavin waspelling him to make concessions.
A life-and-death confrontation was not a path the King of Northguard was willing to tread.
He was utterly outmatched by Gavin!
Therefore, he balled his fists and took another deep breath. He turned his gaze toward Gavin and
forced a smile.
“Delightful coffee, without a doubt!” he replied with a forced grin.
The King of Northguard lifted the coffee cup, removed the lid, lightly tapped it twice, and then brought it
to Gavin’s lips. Gavin gently blew on the coffee to cool it before taking a sip. He then looked at the King
of Northguard and remarked.
“It’s indeed excellent coffee!” Gavin acknowledged with a nod.
At that very moment, a figure swiftly entered through the door, only to be utterly stunned by the sight of
the King of Northguard serving Gavin!
The King of Northguard was indeed massaging a young boy’s legs, tending to his back, and even
serving him coffee!
With a dumbfounded expression, the neer brought a hand to his
eyes and
rubbed them vigorously, struggling to ept the reality before him. ‘What on earth had transpired
here? How could our master, the King of Northguard, be reduced to the role of someone else’s
servant?’
It was an unprecedented and bewildering scene for him.
‘Yet, that person was Gavin, the very individual who had throttled the King of Northguard at the
entrance. It raised a perplexing question: was the King of Northguard genuinely powerless against
Gavin to the extent that he was willing to assume a subservient role?’
“Gulp.” The neer swallowed hard, his apprehension and confusion palpable.
The scene he had witnessed in that room would forever be etched into his
memory.
